Wei Huang, a famous merchant family in Fire Cloud City. Back then, he had met Cang Tuo through Cloud Wave City because he was a merchant.
At that time, Cang Tuo was in charge of Cloud Billow City's trade, so the two of them often interacted.
At that time, Cang Tuo was a decent and talented person. Li Qing followed him here and used Wei Huang's influence to get to know Cang Tuo.
Cang Tuo saw that although she was born in a humble background, she was extremely beautiful and moving. However, the upright Cang Tuo at that time did not have any improper thoughts.
Li Qing, on the other hand, wanted to use Cang Tuo's power to get to know City Lord Lian Yunhong. Thus, he used the honey trap to sacrifice himself to Cang Tuo, wanting to use this opportunity to force Cang Tuo to open a path for him!
However, he didn't expect that although Cang Tuo himself seemed upright, he was only suppressed by the City Lord's power and couldn't turn things around. He wasn't someone who lived under someone else's roof.
Because he had something on Li Qing, he forcefully took Li Qing as his wife. Later, when Li Qing saw that there was nothing he could do, he followed Cang Tuo…
Following Cang Tuo's loyal devotion to the City Lord's Estate, his status slowly rose to the position of Deputy City Lord.
Li Qing saw that Cang Tuo's power was growing, so she followed Cang Tuo wholeheartedly and gave birth to three sons and a daughter for him, becoming a true wife.
Later, Cang Tuo also took in a few concubines, because Cang Tuo was no longer the Cang Tuo of that time. All day long, he had sex, indulged in debauchery, and did not control himself...
Because of his monstrous reputation, none of the concubines dared to speak out, so they did not come out again. Thus, Li Qing's position in the residence was established. In the residence, he was a transcendental existence below one person and above ten thousand people.
It was also because Li Qing was extremely vicious, sinister, and cunning. Anyone who opposed him would be eliminated, regardless of whether it was inside or outside the residence.
Although she looked like she was in her forties, her beauty was no less than twenty-eight years old, and she always had a smile on her face. In fact, she was a veritable femme fatale.
Back then, Wei Huang felt pity for him and was a relative, so he had a benevolent heart and kept him at home as a helper to take care of the business.
In fact, Li Qing was only 28 years old at that time, and he was extremely moving, innocent, and sensible.
However, there was a feeling in her bones that she would never be willing to be ordinary…Today, the once obedient and sensible little girl had become a sinister and vicious woman. Time truly flew like an arrow, and the world was unpredictable…
Wei Huang was the young master of the Wei family's trading company in the Fire Cloud Capital. He was elegant, refined, and had the appearance of a scholar. He was the only son of Old Master Wei and the only heir of the Wei family.
During the founding of the Fire Cloud Empire, although the Wei family's ancestors did not follow the emperor to war like the founding fathers, the money, food, and chariots that they provided for the empire's wars at that time…were not counted. It could be said that 70% of the needs and preparations for the entire war were provided by the Wei family.
After the founding of the country, the emperor listed his achievements and granted his ancestors an official position. However, his ancestors were upright and kind, unwilling to be granted official positions. They only wanted to be businessmen for their entire lives. Because of their integrity and integrity, their family property was extremely rich.
The Emperor thought that he had done his best for the country, so he agreed to his request and traded 50% of the trade resources in the empire to the Wei family. The empire did not collect any taxes.
The Wei family's ancestors were grateful for the emperor's kindness, and they still paid according to the tax laws of the other businesses every year without any delays.
Eight years ago, Wei Huang's father was on his way back from the Snow Wind Empire to do business. When he passed by the northern foot of Fire Cloud Mountain, he suddenly saw a huge fireball falling from the sky. It was like a comet that smashed straight into the ground. Not a single blade of grass grew within a radius of ten miles. His father and his group were immediately curious and went to check it out…
They saw a piece of meteoric iron that had been burned red in a huge pit. When everyone saw it, they knew that it was rare in the world and was not ordinary iron. His father went to take it.
Because the temperature was too high, no one could enter within a thousand feet of it. After a discussion, they took out the Thousand Year Ice Jade Box that they had bought from the Snow Wind Empire before putting it away.
After returning home, he treated it as a treasure and told the others not to spread it.
Unexpectedly, one of the accompanying servants slipped up after drinking and told the truth. The son of the Fire Cloud Empire's Prime Minister, Lian Yunjun, found out that this person was trying to take it for himself by hook or by crook.
A year ago, Lian Yunjun used his father's influence to force the Wei Clan to hand over the Meteoric Metal. When his father refused, Lian Yunjun flew into a rage out of humiliation and killed him to snatch the treasure.
As a result, his father, mother, wife, and servants, a total of 108 people, all died tragically at his hands. Wei Huang and his son Wei Shun were able to escape.
When Wei Huang saw that his family was broken and his people were killed, he was heartbroken and died of grief. In order to save his son Shun 'er, he abandoned his family and business. He wanted me to go far away and try to protect him.
However, no one dared to protect him, so he brought the remaining dozens of loyal servants and went to Cloudbillow City to beg his cousin for help…
"Husband! I've already arranged for them to stay in the West Mansion District's east wing.”
"Good! Madam did well! Arrange for people to monitor them day and night, but they must be reliable!”Lian Yuntuo laughed sinisterly.
"Husband! Are we going to let them stay in our house forever?”
"Stay here! It's alright! Food, drink, and shelter are provided for them. Sooner or later, the treasure will be ours.
Or when the time comes, we can offer it to the prime minister. Do we still need to be the deputy city lord in this small place?”
" Hahaha..." Lian Yuntuo had already started to look forward to his bright future...
"Husband! Wei Huang is a cautious person. It's not easy for us to make a move!”
"It's fine! Doesn't he have a son?" Lian Yuntuo narrowed his eyes slightly, which were filled with a cold light.
"Husband! I understand!" Li Qing also sneered.
"It's good that you understand! You can continue to hold the banquet. I want to properly entertain this so-called cousin of yours…"
"Yes, sir! Husband…"
The night was silent…
At noon the next day, the east wing was awakened by a series of hurried footsteps.
"Cousin! Cousin…I'm here to see you!" A hearty laugh followed…
Wei Huang hurriedly got up and greeted him. He wanted to cup his hands, but unexpectedly, Lian Yuntuo grabbed Wei Huang's hands and said," Cousin! Why would a family have so much etiquette! You're treating me like an outsider!
This is your home, why are you so distant? Come! Cousin, sit down.
I haven't seen you for many years. I miss you so much! Leave this matter to brother, cousin doesn't need to worry.
Now in this Cloudbillow City, no matter who comes, they can't do anything to you. Cousin, don't worry!”
Before Wei Huang could speak, Lian Yuntuo had already expressed his attitude and gave him an absolutely sincere and firm look. It was accompanied by the feeling of missing him after not seeing him for many years…
"Many thanks for cousin's kindness! Wei Huang will never forget it!"
"Sigh…!" What favor? It seems that cousin still treats me as an outsider! Or was he treating her as an outsider? If cousin has such an attitude, cousin will be angry!……”
"Good! Good! Good! Thank you, cousin! Look, look, it's happening again…"
"Good! Cousin, I won't say anything!" The two of them looked at each other and laughed…
"Where is my good nephew? Why don't you come and let me see you!" Lian Yuntuo asked with a smile.
"Shun 'er, Shun' er…come and greet your uncle…"
From time to time, a young man came out from behind the screen. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply.”
"Good! Good! Quickly get up, quickly get up…
Shun 'er has grown so big! He looked elegant and romantic, like his father back then!
Come…Shun 'er, look, what is this?”
"This is…Fire Crystal Stone?" Wei Huang said in surprise.
Then, he turned pale with fright and said,"Hmm…?" No! This is a top-grade Fire Crystal Stone…"
Lian Yuntuo laughed and said,"Not bad!" Absorbing one pill would give him three years of hard work!
I wanted to give it to you when I went to the dock to pick you up yesterday! However, the City Lord had something to do at the last minute, and I couldn't be in two places at once. I could only give it to you after seeing you today.
Little Shun 'er…won't blame me, right?……”
Wei Huang hurriedly said,"Cousin, this gift is too heavy!" No, no…"
This Fire Quartz was extremely rare! If one were to buy it, it would cost tens of thousands of spirit stones and tens of thousands of taels of gold.
Fire Crystal Stones were rare to begin with. Although it was in the Fire Cloud Empire, Fire Crystal Stones were still rare!
This treasure was something that cultivators could only dream of, not to mention that it was a supreme-grade Fire Crystal…
