Feeling Gu Dong’s solemn intent, everyone from the Four Great Hidden Families became serious...
"Old Family Head, what do you want to say? Is it about Xiaobei?"
At this moment, upon such inquiry, they were particularly nervous.
Because Hu Xiaobei holds a very important place in their hearts, they are really worried about any possible issues with Hu Xiaobei...
Sensing their panic and confusion, Gu Dong smiled and quickly waved his hand.
Soon, Gu Dong softly said, "You don’t need to be so tense, what I’m about to talk about isn’t related to Xiaobei, but another relatively important matter."
Hearing it wasn’t about Hu Xiaobei, they quickly let out a sigh of relief.
After this, they looked at Gu Dong with great curiosity and asked, "Oh? What is it?"
They all understood that if it were not something particularly important, Gu Dong definitely wouldn’t have invited them here to discuss it together.
Sensing their curiosity, Gu Dong took a deep breath and quickly said, "Earlier, about the incident of digging up a whole box of Spirit Stones in my courtyard, you should all be aware by now!"
"Yes! We all know!"
Upon hearing this, they quickly nodded!
Simultaneously, they all showed a trace of envy...
Earlier, after hearing about this from others, they were truly envious to the extreme...
Because they all knew that Spirit Stones were truly something that one could encounter by chance and not by seeking.
Therefore, even a small piece of Spirit Stone is particularly precious, let alone a whole box of Spirit Stones.
Reading everyone’s envy, Gu Dong smiled and said, "We are not outsiders here, so you don’t need to be envious. Later, let’s divide those Spirit Stones evenly; everyone present today will have a share."
"Is... is this true?"
"Yes!"
"You wouldn’t be lying, right!"
Although aware that due to marriage alliances the relationships had eased considerably, they were still utterly stunned by such open generosity.
Because they truly understood the terrifying value of these Spirit Stones...
They knew if they had received such a tremendous unexpected fortune, they would be very reluctant to give it away to others.
Feeling their uneasiness, Gu Dong understood what was on their minds...
At that moment, Gu Dong lightly chuckled with calmness...
In fact, he was somewhat reluctant and a bit distressed to bring out these precious Spirit Stones.
But even with that distress, Gu Dong still brought them out.
Because having once faced death, he knew that many things were indeed more important than wealth.
Patting his hands lightly, Gu Dong once again solemnly said, "Rest assured, I definitely have no intention of deceiving you! These precious Spirit Stones are truly for everyone who sees them to have a share!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Hearing such a confirmed response, they truly laughed wildly with excitement.
They knew that with the help of these Spirit Stones, many in the family trapped at a bottleneck could genuinely have the chance to break through...
Therefore, this was truly a great opportunity to strengthen the family’s power.
Seeing their excited expression, Gu Dong squinted his eyes and suddenly opened, "Do you all want to obtain more Spirit Stones?"
Slightly taken aback for a second, they replied, "Of course, but... but is that possible?"
Nobody would think that too much wealth is a burden, and they were no exception.
But they knew it was impossible because Spirit Stones were incredibly precious; now, getting a few was already an absolute blessing...
With a smile, Gu Dong opened his mouth again.
"Originally, it was impossible, but now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; this is actually the main reason I called you all here!"
"Oh?"
Seeing everyone genuinely engrossed, Gu Dong took a deep breath and recounted the story of the family having a treasure map and his previous adventure.
Initially, they were not very surprised.
But gradually, they were utterly astonished, and by the end, they even directly widened their eyes in amazement...
"Their reaction was even more exaggerated than I had anticipated!"
Seeing their shocked expressions, the corners of Gu Dong’s mouth lifted into a faint smile.
"Exactly! Just tell us!"
With a light laugh, Gu Dong laid out the plan he had already devised, "I want to gather all our strengths and try again; you all know what Spirit Stones mean to us, so we can’t let this opportunity slip by, right?"
"That... that indeed!"
After thinking for a moment, they slowly and solemnly nodded!
They knew what Gu Dong had just said was truly sincere, so they genuinely didn’t want to miss it...
"But Old Family Head, even you can’t deal with those arrays, so maybe we can’t either!"
"Right!"
With a laugh, Gu Dong suddenly spoke mysteriously, "We might indeed not have a way, but there is someone who might!"
"Who?"
Hearing such a mysterious comment, they genuinely became intrigued.
"Hu Xiaobei!"
Upon hearing this name, their eyes suddenly shone...
Indeed!
We may not have a way, but Hu Xiaobei might truly have a solution...
Previously, they focused all their thoughts on that precious treasure and thus overlooked the presence of Hu Xiaobei. Now, hearing them mention Xiaobei, their eyes gleamed instantly.
They truly understood Hu Xiaobei’s mastery of Arrays and believed that if Xiaobei made a move, there might indeed be a great possibility of success.
Seeing their eyes light up, Gu Dong took a deep breath and said again, "Before, I thought of Hu Xiaobei, but I knew this matter couldn’t be decided by myself, so I came to discuss it with you all. Of course, we still need to discuss it well with Xiaobei! If he disagrees, then we’ll drop the matter!"
"Yes! Indeed that’s the case!"
Hearing Gu Dong’s words, they froze for a second and quickly nodded...
They knew that Hu Xiaobei’s opinion truly needed to be considered because Xiaobei was the key to success...
If they hastily made decisions for Xiaobei now, a small rift might form in his heart...
If such a situation occurred, it would indeed be a loss beyond compensation...
