After checking that no one was in the surrounding area, Zheng-Fu immediately opened his dimensional space, covering the entire mine, in other words, all the areas that should have the ore. Using his senses, Zheng-Fu examined and perceived the ore there.

Crackle!!!!!!!!

There was a violent tremble that even Dan-Chun-Gu's procession that went several tens li away still perceived. Not only that, the big and small monster beasts all ran in panic, but luckily, they were all low-level monster beasts, so they did not cause any trouble for their procession.

"What happened?"

"That's the direction of the mine, isn't it?"

"Or is it the work of Y... Young Master?"

The guards at the entrance of the camp were talking about what was going on. From what they thought, the direction the tremble happened most likely came from the mine they had just left. Thus, they could not think of anything other than the boy they teased was the one who did it.

However, some people still did not understand what was going on, even though they knew it happened in the direction of the mine. Since many of them did not know who Zheng-Fu was, other than the three guards and a few other highly skilled men whom Dan-Chun-Gu ordered not to tell anyone about this if they wanted to live, that made them unable to speak, even though their mouths were very itchy.

"Alright, let's continue our journey before it gets dark. We have to go back to the clan in time this evening, or we'll surely starve for dinner." Dan-Chun-Gu hurriedly called to all the workers and his skilled men in the procession to be conscious and continue their journey.

Returning to Zheng-Fu, his dimensional space had now covered the entire area of the mine and was slowly sucking it into the dimension. Sucking such a large object caused Zheng-Fu to lose a lot of his spiritual energy, for he had to use a lot of concentration to control it.

If he lost his concentration, not only would the rest of the objects and places he was sucking in stop, but he might also be injured, so Zheng-Fu had to concentrate so much.

Yaaaaa!!!

Whirrrl!!!

Cough, cough, cough!!!

In the blink of an eye, the huge mining mountain disappeared from their sight as Zheng-Fu's gasp and cough rang out. He sank to the ground, exhausted from wasting his spiritual energy while sucking it in. Dong-Kuang did not say anything, just had a stunning look since he had never seen anything like this before.

"Are you alright, Young Master?" When he came to his senses, Dong-Kuang walked up to Zheng-Fu and asked in a concerned tone.

"I'm fine, Brother Dong. Just a little rest would be better." After saying that, Zheng-Fu immediately sat cross-legged on the ground while circulating the Qi energy within his body.

Fifteen minutes had passed...

Phew!!!

After about fifteen minutes, Zheng-Fu finally recovered. He opened his eyes with a long breath before standing up and stretching a few times, then speaking up, "Alright, let's go back." He turned towards Dong-Kuang.

"Yes, sir!!!"

Whoosh!!!

"Young Master!" As soon as Dan-Chun-Gu saw Zheng-Fu coming, he exclaimed with a broad smile of relief that nothing had happened to his young master.

Thump!!!

Zheng-Fu's presence made many people wonder and want to know who he was. Because before that, when they were at the mine, they had only seen him briefly. And throughout the journey, there were no guards or anyone who knew him or talked about him. So, this made them very eager to find out who this child, who made both Dong-Kuang and Dan-Chun-Gu so humble, was.

Anyway, after Zheng-Fu and Dong-Kuang arrived at the procession and joined the journey, they did not speak a word to each other except to travel in silence. It created an awkward atmosphere among the people in the procession because no one dared to say anything until they arrived at the clan in the early evening.

"That's Master Dan-Chun-Gu and those who had been sent to the mine. Why did they come back?"

"Ah! That's Master Dong-Kuang and Young... um... also there."

The guards at the entrance of the clan had met Zheng-Fu before and knew who he was. But they were still forbidden from talking about him or telling anyone. So, they stopped all conversations related to Zheng-Fu and talked about the others instead.

News of the return of the people who were sent to escort the mine had quickly reported to the meeting hall, where the elders and other important people were meeting.

Thump, thump, thump!!!

"There's a report, sir! Now, all the troops and Master Dan-Chun-Gu, in charge of the mine, have returned with the miners."

"Huh!?! What did you say!? Tell me again?" As soon as the reporter informed them of the return of Dan-Chun-Gu and the miners, the Sixth and Seventh Elders suddenly shouted in unison.

"What did you say? Did Dan-Chun-Gu and the others return to the clan?" At the end of the voices of the two elders, Kong-Shi immediately asked with a tight frown.

"Yes, sir, Supreme Elder…"

"Respect, all Elders. I'm Dan-Chun-Gu. I'm back!" But before the reporter could say any name, a sudden noise rang out as Dan-Chun-Gu walked in with two other people behind him. And those two were Zheng-Fu and Dong-Kuang.

"Huh...?"

All of the people in the meeting hall turned to look at Dan-Chun-Gu at the same time. But all of a sudden, everyone's eyes landed on a child walking with Dong-Kuang. The faces of the sixth and seventh elders began to tremble.

"Tha... that... that's Nephew Zheng-Fu!!!" But before anyone could say anything, Hai-Gu was the first to call out Zheng-Fu's name and stood up with a delighted expression.

"Really... That's Brother Zheng-Fu. Did he come back from the trials?" Hai-Gang immediately stood up after his father. Then there were Tong-Lang and Tong-Tieng, who stood up with happy expressions on their faces.

"Respect, Clan Leader," Zheng-Fu came to a stop in front of Mo-Zi, clasped his hands up, and bowed to greet the clan's leader. With Dong-Kuang and Dan-Chun-Gu standing on either side of him, saluting as well.

"Ah... You passed the test back, is that so...? Heaven's favorite! Oh heavens, you finally have a heart for our clan!!!" Mo-Zi could not hold back the feeling of joy until he had to let go of the strange utterance with his hands raised over his head and looked up above.

"Yes, sir. I passed the test and came back," Zheng-Fu replied with a calm expression but also turned to look at the Sixth and Seventh Elders because he remembered that the two of them were always stabbing his father all the time, and they were also selfish.

Gulp!!!

Both of them secretly swallowed big gulps of saliva along with the cold sweat that started to seep down their foreheads. But they both continued to smile at Zheng-Fu, even though they felt bad about the gaze Zheng-Fu gave them.

"As for the mine, I ordered everyone to come out myself because it doesn't have to be there anymore." Zheng-Fu stopped talking before taking out something from his dimensional ring, then he sent it floating to Mo-Zi.

And what Zheng-Fu took out was a not-very-large treasure chest. When he had already delivered it over to Mo-Zi, he continued, "There were five hundred cash cards in the chest, and within one of them were one million monster crystal coins. I hope this amount will be enough to help the funds of the clan that are in need," Zheng-Fu said with a solemn expression on his face.

"Huh!?! One million per card!?"

"If there are five hundred cards in it, is that equal to five hundred million monster crystal coins?"

"Five hundred million monster crystal coins!!!"

Everyone inside the meeting hall stood up, their eyes widening in shock at such a large amount of money. Because during this time, the clan had spent a lot of money supporting the clan's mission, the monthly income they received was barely enough to put into the fund. However, the amount Zheng-Fu gave was comparable to the profits of the clan for many decades.

Zheng-Fu stood amongst the elders who were stunned and puzzled and felt the need to tease a little more, so he said, "If it's not enough, I can give you more!!!"

Ah!!!

Zheng-Fu's words that teased the others just now made everyone in shock and almost had their souls leave their bodies because this amount was already enough, but he also said that he had more to offer. Who could stand still? Even Mo-Zi could not hold it back and had a shocked expression like everyone else.

"Tha... that... that's more than enough!!" When he regained his consciousness, Mo-Zi spoke up in a stuttering voice.

"Yes, sir!! But if you want more, just tell me. I'll be happy to give it if it's related to the clan. If it's not for personal use, I'm always willing to help!" At first, Zheng-Fu said in a soft voice, but in the last sentence, his voice became more intense as he looked at the sixth and seventh elders.

Ah... ah... ah!!!

"Well, excuse me. I have to go now. I still have a few things to do, so I don't have time to tell everyone about it right now. And I also have something to ask you and all the elders here; don't tell anyone that I'm back. But if this matter has slipped out, then it's... no...

never mind!!!"

"Of course, we won't tell anyone."

"Yes, yes, yes, you can trust us!!!"

And as always, the sixth and seventh elders were the ones who gave the first answers because they seemed to know what Zheng-Fu was referring to by his gaze staring at them. Even a child could get what that kind of sight was.

"You can trust, disci...um… Zheng-Fu!!"

"Master Tong-Lang, please call me disciple as always. You are my teacher anyway, even after a few days of teaching me." Zheng-Fu saw a chance to tease Tong-Lang, who wanted to call him 'disciple' like before, but Zheng-Fu's strength was greater than his, so he changed the word that he used to call him to only his name.

Ha ha ha!!!

"You haven't changed at all. As for your help, it would help our clan move on with ease. And not only that, in the next few months of clan maneuvers, you'll definitely be the winner." Tong-Tieng laughed pleasantly before speaking in admiration of Zheng-Fu, feeling proud that he could be called the boy's teacher. No, it must be said that he used to be, Tong-Tieng thought.
