Why did you provoke me?

Jing Ancheng had also interacted with Niannian before. At that time, he thought Niannian's never-abandoned nature was very good.

But now, he feels that Nian Nian's personality is really hard to predict.

"Those three mines are the reward for saving lives," a team member whispered from the side.

"That was Fourth Sister's reward for taking in the Jing family, not for our rescue," Nian Nian said, revealing the key point.

Jing Ancheng closed his eyes briefly. "The Jing family has a warehouse in those mountains. There should be enough stuff there for you to rescue people."

Niannian blinked. "But the Jing family's territory is occupied by someone else. You're telling us to go and take it ourselves?" Her eyes darted around. "We can go ourselves, but we'll have to pay extra."

Jing Ancheng felt it was better for him to faint; let the Jing family do whatever they wanted.

Yu Meng glanced at Niannian, who turned her head to the side. "Alright, I'll listen to Fourth Sister."

Yu Meng looked at Qian Chuan, "How much longer can he hold on?"

"Well, I can barely hold on for a little while longer."

Yu Meng looked at Jing Ancheng. "Jing Ancheng, do you know what kind of trouble it would bring me if I took in people from the Jing family? The Jing family is a ticking time bomb right now."

I know why you left without saying goodbye; you severed all ties with us back then. I just want to know one thing: why did you change your mind?

Jing Ancheng suddenly became agitated. "I thought they only wanted the Jing family's territory and resources. I couldn't hold onto those anyway, so whoever had the ability could take them, and I wouldn't complain. But now it's not like that; they also want the lives of everyone in the Jing family."

He coughed up a mouthful of blood. Qian Chuan quickly pressed him down, "Take it easy, Teacher Yu is here, just tell me what's wrong."

The implication is that since Teacher Yu has already arrived, it proves she intends to take charge of this matter, so you should just shut up.

Perhaps because he had lost too much blood, Jing Ancheng clearly did not notice the deeper meaning in Qian Chuan's words.

He struggled to get up, but Qian Chuan glanced at Yu Meng and reached out to press Jing Ancheng back onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Didn't I tell you to be more careful? Why are you up now?"

"Teacher Yu, I don't know what those people are looking for in the Jing family. But what did we do wrong? They're treating the Jing family like animals. Please, Teacher Yu, save them."

"How is this moral blackmail? Jing Ancheng, you have no conscience. Fourth Sister's presence is already a great favor. And you're taking it for granted. She saved you, but what happens after that? All the forces are coming after my sister and Jingchuan. Do you think we care about your family's little things?" Niannian was angry and no longer cared about her words.

They insisted on following Fourth Sister back then. With Fourth Sister's abilities, she didn't need their protection.

Hearing Niannian's words, Jing Ancheng felt anxious, but he couldn't explain that he didn't mean it that way. In his anxiety, he fainted.

Niannian blinked. "Fourth Sister, is this considered a staged accident?"

The Jing family members immediately rushed to Jing Ancheng's side. "Captain, what's wrong?"

Qian Chuan sighed, "If you shake him, he'll really die."

The team member suddenly looked up and said, "The captain can still be saved, so save him. I'll kowtow to you for it."

After saying that, he actually knelt down. Si Jiu, who had followed him, couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him up. "Don't make things worse. With Qian Chuan around, he won't die. It seems that this period of escape has pushed your nerves to the limit."

Yu Meng stood up. "Send him to Jing Liu's place. Let's talk about it after he survives."

Niannian followed Yu Meng out of the house. "Fourth Sister, did what I said upset him?"

Yu Meng glared at her. "Do you want to solidify your reputation for being shrewish?"

Niannian chuckled, "I got angry when I saw him begging you like that, and I just couldn't control myself."

"Be careful next time. Act a little more vulnerable in public, so people don't make you a target."

"Isn't pretending to be weak just easier to bully?"

"So you're really weak? If someone bullies you, even if that person is unlucky, who would think of you?"

Niannian clapped her hands suddenly, "That's right, from now on I'll be the wolf in sheep's clothing and trick them to death."

The people accompanying him followed behind with their heads down, all of them with their ears closed, and they heard nothing.

But there was one exception: Si Jiu's eyes sparkled. No wonder Third Brother always got stronger when he followed Teacher Yu; he even learned strategies from him. Next time, he'd have to beg to come out with Teacher Yu, no matter what.

Jing Liu and Mi Ying's message came quickly, and Jing San also sent a message to Yu Meng, asking how far this matter should go.

Yu Meng thought for a moment, "You guys decide what to do. If they're coming at me, make it as dramatic as possible, scare them half to death. If they're coming at the Jing family, then retaliate with force, the worse the better. Use your imagination. Just be careful not to hurt your own people."

Jing San sent another message after a long while, "They told me to ask around, and if I find someone suitable, it's okay to take some, right?"

Yu Meng glanced at it but didn't reply.

Niannian chuckled to herself, "So civilized? I just don't believe it!"

Yu Meng also didn't understand when she had led the team into this state.

When the head of the Yan Palace learned of this, he also clamored for a mission.

Yu Meng asked them who told them this, and they replied confidently, "Who would believe there's nothing going on when there are large-scale activities by sect members?"

Yu Meng asked the lame man what was going on. The lame man was a little embarrassed and said, "I was just thinking that since they were idle anyway, they might as well help you muddy the waters, so at least they're of some use."

That made a lot of sense, and Yu Meng was completely convinced.

But this incident gave Yu Meng an idea: if she let the Jia and Chen families get involved secretly, could she hide herself even more deeply?

And so, the external forces were completely thrown into chaos because of Yu Meng.

In the end, they couldn't even remember why they had started fighting.

When Niannian found the Jing family's warehouse, she was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of food. "There's just too much!"

Jing San and the others came over to check, and they were also shocked.

"Niannian, I'll have someone ask Jing Ancheng if there are any people he cares about who haven't been rescued. There are too many. We need to have a professional spirit; it's not a problem to rescue a few more people."

Niannian nodded with a smile, "I'll do whatever Third Brother says. So how are we going to get these back?"

"Leave it here. Have 432 come over and use the Illusion Pearl to set up a hidden formation."

After thinking about it for a moment, she understood, "Is it really insurance?"

"It's alright. Without Jing Ancheng's hint, we might have wandered around here for three days and still not found the entrance."

Niannian seemed to be deep in thought. "Third Brother, you said the Jing family's land is really nice, with mountains and water. I think it's quite suitable for our Cangshan lineage."

Though the speaker meant no harm, Jing San's eyes lit up. Although Jingchuan had expanded repeatedly, the number of people in the sect was also increasing, and the place was still too small.

Most people are currently in the Alien battlefield, but the number of aliens is decreasing every day. When the aliens are gone, will they still be able to live there?

Jingyi had told them everything about his grandfather. Living in the alien battlefield was absolutely impossible.

Niannian's idea could solve the sect's problem. But this was a huge matter, and he dared not act on his own.

"Niannian, I think your idea is very good. Why don't you talk to Teacher Yu and see what she means?"

"Third Brother, Fourth Sister said that the secret mastermind of the Jing family is Guihong Pavilion, and the long-haired guy said we can't afford to offend them."

"Let's not touch him yet. Let's investigate first, both overt and covert," Jing San said slowly. "Even if he's strong, we shouldn't confront him head-on."
