Chen Yang and Niu Xiaosheng fought fiercely until they realized the futility of fighting over mineral veins. Niu Xiaosheng proposed a truce and a trade: the release of captured tribe members in exchange for the mineral fields. Chen Yang consulted Xiao Xin and Zheng Dayou, who agreed, though they expressed anger towards Tang Jingshan for his inaction. The deal was struck, with both sides agreeing to the exchange the following day. Chen Yang and his companions returned to Cangshi Town to finalize the agreement with Tang Jingshan, finding him leisurely practicing swordsmanship, much to their displeasure.

He pretended as if he didn’t understand at all and said, "Hehe, Master Xiao, you’ve gone too far with your words. If you’d like to see it, I can dance once more."

"Master Zheng, your words flatter me too much. It was merely a coincidence that the Barbarian Bull Tribe didn’t show up, unrelated to my reputation."

Tang Jingshan laughed, unwilling to take the bait.

Missing their target, Xiao Xin and Zheng Dayou were even more displeased.

But they didn’t want to say more; Xiao Xin directly asked him for the captives of the Barbarian Bull Tribe.

"Mayor Tang, I don’t want to say much else. Today, Master Zheng and I came to request the captives of the Barbarian Bull Tribe from you." Xiao Xin stated bluntly.

The smile on Tang Jingshan’s face faded, replaced by a look of suspicion.

"Master Xiao, what do you want with those captives?"

"To trade with the Barbarian Bull Tribe!" Xiao Xin replied coldly.

"Trade? What kind of trade?"

The suspicion on Tang Jingshan’s face intensified.

Xiao Xin and Zheng Dayou didn’t conceal anything, directly recounting today’s events.

This included the duel between Niu Xiaosheng and Chen Yang, as well as the agreed-upon trade terms.

After listening to Xiao Xin’s account of today’s events, Tang Jingshan’s expression became complicated.

He could never have imagined that Chen Yang’s power would be so strong.

To fight evenly with Niu Xiaosheng and even force him to make such a concession? Truly surprising.

He initially wanted to use this opportunity... to suppress the Xiao Family and the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Who would have thought that Chen Yang, relying on his own strength, would skillfully resolve the crisis this time?

Too surprising, truly too surprising.

"Mayor Tang, such a trade is the best outcome for our Cangshi Town. I hope you can hand over the experts of the Barbarian Bull Tribe." After presenting the situation, Xiao Xin didn’t bother with Tang Jingshan’s expression.

He immediately reiterated the request.

Asking Tang Jingshan to hand over the experts of the Barbarian Bull Tribe.

Tang Jingshan, who had been all smiles earlier, now looked gloomier.

His purpose wasn’t achieved, but unexpectedly, things were resolved just like that.

"Hehe, indeed it is possible, but whether the trade will proceed, the mayor might need to think about it a bit." Tang Jingshan saw Xiao Xin’s determined demeanor, indicating he would not give up until his goal was achieved, and chose not to refuse directly but rather find an excuse to stall.

He planned to consider it thoroughly and then decide.

But now, Xiao Xin and Zheng Dayou were long tired of Tang Jingshan.

Hearing him stall over such a trade naturally angered them more!

"Tang Jingshan! Don’t go too far! This Cangshi Town isn’t just your Cangshi Town! You must agree to today’s matter!" Xiao Xin, having long suppressed his fury, could no longer endure it, and erupted.

"Mayor Tang, Master Xiao is right. This Cangshi Town isn’t just your Cangshi Town! If you still have selfish intentions, our Fierce Tiger Gang will be the first to disagree." Zheng Dayou’s voice was icy, full of a threatening tone.

Seeing the two explode with such strong emotions, Tang Jingshan’s face grew even grimmer.

He’s the mayor, but in terms of strength, he absolutely cannot contend with the Xiao Family and the Fierce Tiger Gang.

So, he could only pin his hopes on the temporary fourth force.

That is, on Chen Yang.

Chen Yang is powerful and has the background of Cangnan Academy.

Though just one person, he now undoubtedly has a voice that counts.

And with significant weight, he can be considered a temporary fourth force.

"Chen Yang, what do you think of this matter?" Tang Jingshan was unwilling to agree easily, nor did he want to completely offend Xiao Xin and Zheng Dayou; he could only see what Chen Yang thought.

And naturally, Chen Yang supported the trade.

"I support the trade."

Chen Yang said without hesitation.

"Tang Jingshan, did you hear that? Chen Yang also supports the trade! You shouldn’t jeopardize the future of Cangshi Town because of your personal interests!" Xiao Xin said angrily.

After being rebuked repeatedly, Tang Jingshan’s face was extremely grim.

But now everyone supports the trade.

He can’t oppose it.

Otherwise, his situation would become difficult.

He forced a smile and said, "Hehe, Master Xiao, no need to be so agitated. As the mayor of Cangshi Town, I naturally consider from the long-term interests of our Cangshi Town."

"I said I needed to think, only out of concern that the Barbarian Bull Tribe might be deceitful. Since Chen Yang supports the trade, I have nothing to say! Following your advice, we will trade tomorrow!"

Tang Jingshan reluctantly agreed.

Hmph!

Hearing this, Xiao Xin snorted coldly and left in a huff.

Zheng Dayou followed suit.

As someone sent by Cangnan Academy, Chen Yang naturally stayed at the Town Mansion.

Tang Jingshan specifically arranged a luxurious residence, with servants dedicated to serving, exceedingly lavish.

For others, such hospitality might feel like enjoyment.

But for Chen Yang, it felt somewhat restrictive.

Surrounded by Tang Jingshan’s people, he always felt uneasy.

Additionally, he had a vague intuition.

He always felt that Tang Jingshan had connections with Elder Zhao Shuo from the academy.

Although Tang Jingshan had yet to show any sign of targeting him or taking action.

But Chen Yang just had that intuition.

Zhao Shuo sending him on this tricky task couldn’t possibly just be to annoy him.

It’s definitely aimed at his life.

People say Zhao Shuo holds grudges and seeks revenge vehemently.

The life-and-death arena that day made him lose face.

He couldn’t just want to annoy him and that’s it.

He’s definitely coming for his life!

"Take it one step at a time! As soon as the task is resolved, leave Cangshi Town immediately!"

Chen Yang murmured, then sat cross-legged to gather his thoughts, beginning to absorb the Spiritual Energy in the air for cultivation...

Meanwhile, in an attic of the Town Mansion.

Mayor Tang Jingshan was in a conversation with someone.

The person was dressed in night clothes, their face completely obscured, but the aura around them was strong, definitely not below Great Perfection of Gathering Spirit.

Additionally, Tang Jingshan’s attitude towards the person in night clothes was exceedingly respectful.

"Tang Jingshan, the task Elder instructed you to carry out, you must complete it. Once done, Cangshi Town will forever bear the Tang name!"

The person in night clothes stood with their hands behind them, a very hoarse, unpleasant voice sounding.

Upon hearing this, Tang Jingshan’s eyes immediately brightened, a look of intense greed flashing across his face.

"Rest assured, sir, I will definitely handle Elder’s task well!"

"Although the crisis with the Barbarian Bull Tribe is resolved, the main event is yet to come!"

"By then, I’ll ensure he can arrive alive but not leave alive!"

Tang Jingshan said crazily.

"Very good, with such confidence, I too have great confidence in you. I hope you won’t disappoint me and Elder..." added the person in night clothes.

"That’s a given!"

Tang Jingshan lowered his body further, showing immense respect to the person in night clothes.

"Hmm." The person in night clothes nodded in satisfaction, then curiously asked, "By the way, what exactly is beneath that mine?"

At these words, a hint of fear clearly flashed across Tang Jingshan’s face.

It seemed he thought of something extremely terrifying.
