Chapter 604: Hidden Danger (2)

"So what?" Shen Yanxiao replied.

Du Lang looked at Uncle Jiu before he looked at Shen Yanxiao again. Instead of Uncle Jiu, he explained, "Uncle Jiu meant that, that group of people came here to mine because there weren't any master who owned this area previously. Those people you've met today are just some coarse fishes. Although they are easy to deal with, it will inevitably provoke the powers behind their back. Their true backbone is in their main city in the Barren Land. Do you think that anyone who could build a city in the Barren Land would just be any ordinary person? If they really have decided to turn against you, it will be difficult for you to build a city here."

Du Lang and Uncle Jiu both have experienced many setbacks after all. Though they were amazed by Shen Yanxiao's strength and talent, they were still concerned about her due to her lack of experience and considerations in many matters.

Today's matter, Shen Yanxiao wasn't wrong for her action as the master of the eastern region.

However, mistakes were still mistakes. Their current strength was the weakest in the Barren Land. Those who already had a deep foundation here could easily cause them troubles. They knew a lot of things in the Barren Land, unlike Shen Yanxiao who was still new to the environment.

Whether it was time, place, or people, Shen Yanxiao was in a complete disadvantage.

You could release your anger, but at least looked for the right time.

To withdraw and hide away your gut was also a strategy.

Du Lang and Uncle Jiu were both worried at the same time. They had not yet entered the city but they already provoked the Lan Yue Dynasty. This really wasn't a good news.

If the two of them still knew that Shen Yanxiao had not only drove the people away but even cut the ear of the Marquis' son, then they really might have gone crazy already.

"So, you want me to swallow my anger? And tolerate them as they demand everything?" Shen Yanxiao expressionlessly looked at Du Lang and Uncle Jiu.

The two men could hear the disapproval in Shen Yanxiao's voice, yet they could only nod their heads.

We could only lay our heads down for now since we're just new in the place.

Shen Yanxiao sneered and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Perhaps you are right, but that isn't what I want. I didn't come here to be controlled nor to look at the faces of those several city lords. I came here to build my own city using my own power. Whether at the start or at the end, no one shall dare to oppress me. If I let them be just now, base on their attitudes, I can guarantee that my city will never be built."

Shen Yanxiao looked at Du Lang and Uncle Jiu and then continued, "A lot of people know and understand what you've said earlier . And I am sure that the people from Long Xuan Empire who previously came here also followed those exact words. But the result was that they were still unable to stay here."

Shen Yanxiao gazed at the dark clouds above their heads, "Whether I temporarily succumb to them or resist them, it doesn't matter. The forces of the other three countries will not allow the Long Xuan Empire to build cities in the Barren Land. They have become accustomed to using the resources of the eastern region for their own benefits. So would they really allow someone to own this area? That's why, no matter what my attitude is, they will still hinder me from building my city."

"In that case, rather than to suffer in silence, it's better to jump out now and warn them that I, Shen Yaxiao, will never tolerate anyone abusing me. If they wish to start a fight, they must weigh and measure their strength first." Shen Yanxiao's long speech astonished Du Lang and Uncle Jiu greatly.

Shen Yanxiao's thoughts were far more profound than theirs.

This was not something that would normally come out from a young kid!
