After having a hearty breakfast, Shen Wan brought Ye Fan out of the Shen family and headed towards the east gate.
However, Shen Wan had changed Ye Fan into an even better carriage this time. Not only did it look luxurious, its interior was also much more high-end and expensive than the previous one.
When the two carriages passed through the city one after another, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people. Shen Wan was originally an influential figure, someone who had received much attention even in the Dragon City. Now that they had made such a high-profile trip, many people began to speculate about the people in the carriage following behind Shen Wan.
Then, people began to divulge that one of Shen Wan's distant nephew was in the carriage behind them. Today, he had come to take over two top grade spirit stone mines.
Actually, Shen Wan had purposely leaked out this information, in order to create an atmosphere for Ye Fan to come and lay the foundation for him to befriend those influential and powerful disciples in the future.
As expected, once this news was spread, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. Quite a few people in Dragon City were already interested in this young man who didn't even know his name.
After all, everyone knew that Shen Wan was as rich as a nation, but he had no offspring. Although Shen Wan was still young and strong, sooner or later he would have to leave.
After he left, it had always been a mystery as to who exactly the estate behind him would be left to.
Now that a distant nephew had appeared out of nowhere and took over two top grade spirit stone mines, it made people suspicious. Was Shen Ning going to raise this nephew of his as his successor?
However, there were also those who were deeply worried.
For example, in the Wang family of Shen Wan's legal wife, if Shen Wan was childless, then the person who was most likely to take over this estate would be Shen Wan's legal wife.
Even if the other wives objected, at least half of the legal wife would be given to him. If the Wang family had a child that Shen Wan had taken a fancy to, and passed it on to the Shen family, then the Wang family would have a rich foundation.
Therefore, even though Ye Fan appeared to be calm on the surface, he had already thrown a huge rock at the calm surface of the Shen family, causing a lot of ripples.
Shen Wan has a total of five wives, and every single one of them is a daughter of a prestigious family in Dragon City. These people have been monitoring every single movement in the Shen family for the past few years, and now that the Shen family made a move, it naturally involved the five noble families.
And these five clans were extremely influential in the Dragon City. If these five clans were to make a move, it would affect the entire Dragon Clan.
This was the logic behind everything that was happening.
In short, Ye Fan had already spread throughout the Dragon Capital before he had become famous. He had become the talk of many people after the tea break, and many rumors had already spread like wildfire.
However, this effect was exactly what Shen Wan wanted, and it could be said that Shen Wan was the one who started it. He was building up momentum for Ye Fan, so that Ye Fan could easily enter the circle of the Dragon Capital.
These two mines were not too far away from the dragon. Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh in admiration when he saw the two mines on the scene.
The two mines that Shen Wan had given him were even bigger than he had imagined. They were actually two newly discovered mines, and after only three days of mining, the total number of top grade spirit stones extracted was 400,000. As for the number of top grade spirit stones being used as fodder, that was even more.
All of this now belonged to Ye Fan.
Furthermore, Shen Wan had long prepared everything from the miners to the accounting staff. Ye Fan did not need to do anything, as he had hundreds of thousands of top grade spirit stones every day.
Ye Fan couldn't help rubbing his nose. He never thought that he would get rich overnight.
After a round of inspection, Ye Fan left the mining lode in satisfaction with hundreds of thousands of top grade spirit stones. From now on, as long as he was in need of money, he would be called over and someone would immediately send him the spirit stones.
Shen Wan brought Ye Fan back to the Dragon Capital when the sun was about to set, returning back to the Shen Mansion.
Upon reaching the Shen Manor, the butler immediately stepped forward to welcome him. He whispered something into Shen Wan's ear, and Shen Wan couldn't help chuckling.
"Uncle Shen, what happened?"
Ye Fan asked softly.
"Nothing, there's someone waiting for you in the living room. Let's go take a look."
Shen Wan said with a smile.
"Wait for me?"
Ye Fan couldn't help but be confused. He had just arrived at the Dragon Capital and didn't know many people here. Who would be waiting for him here?
Shen Wan was only smiling and did not answer. Instead, he brought Ye Fan to the living room.
The moment he entered the living room, Ye Fan saw a middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothing. His bearing was not ordinary and he obviously came from a rich and powerful family.
Upon seeing Shen Wan, this person hastily walked forward and bowed towards him, saying, "Qiu Wu greets Master Shen."
"So it's the housekeeper Qiu of the Hou clan. I wonder what business do you have here today?"
Shen Wan's demeanor also changed the moment he entered the living room. His body was emitting a dignified aura of someone in a superior position, causing Ye Fan to be stunned.
This state should be Shen Wan's usual state.
