“Miss, this mineral vein looks like…” Linghe said softly.
Ji Fengyan laughed softly. “Looks really old, isn’t it?”
Linghe nodded profusely. Even as an amateur, he could also tell that this mineral vein had been abandoned for some time.
After walking a long stretch, Ji Fengyan suddenly spoke, “all right, let’s head back.”
Ah Qi, who was walking at the most front, turned back and looked emotionless at Ji Fengyan. He said nothing and directly turned to walk in the reverse direction back.
Even if Linghe was a fool, he had also come to a realisation by now. He lowered his voice and said, “Miss, Lei Xu, that old bastard is obviously trying to trick us! There are so many mineral veins in Ji City, even though he had promised, he had still given us one that has been abandoned for so long and is so old. He is obviously just being perfunctory!”
Linghe’s tone was filled with rage and detest towards Lei Xu.
Ji Fengyan said calmly, “this seems like his style, if he had directly brought us to a mineral vein rich with ores, I will really doubt whether he had hidden a killer in the cave to silence me. Haha.”
“Miss, you can really still laugh,” Linghe was speechless. He did not know whether his Miss’s brain was missing a screw, or that she was really forgiving. Even after being tricked by Lei Xu, she could still laugh.
Ji Fengyan patted Linghe’s shoulders and said seriously, “Brother Ling, I have my own plans, you don’t have to worry.”
As she was speaking, the line of people had already walked out of the mineral cave. Lei Xu stood outside the cave and looked as Ji Fengyan reappeared in front of them after entering only for a short while. Their eyes flashed with coldness and understanding of the situation, but their hypocritical smiles were still on their faces.
“Fengyan, was it nice? I have already told you these mineral veins have nothing to look at. You are a young girl and coming to this dark and humid place is not safe for you. There is also nothing interesting.”
Lei Xu’s tone was as if he was pacifying a child.
“Master Lei, there can’t be only this mineral vein in Ji City, right?” Ji Fengyan completely did not bother about what Lei Xu said and asked straightforwardly.
Lei Xu said, “Obviously not. If Fengyan you are still interested, I can continue to bring you to look at a few more. As a kid, it is natural that you would be interested in these things, but after seeing many, it would also become boring.”
Lei Xu’s words were obviously treating Ji Fengyan as a young kid who had nothing else better to do and it made those heads of Ji City’s prestigious families laugh behind her back.
Linghe almost could tolerate any longer and wanted to go forward to slap Lei Xu.
“Then I shall trouble you,” Ji Fengyan said with a kind temper.
Lei Xu lifted his chin at Ah Qi and the group that stopped for only a short while started moving again.
Afterward, under Ah Qi’s lead, Ji Fengyan saw another seven or eight mineral veins. But every one of them was similar to the situation in the first one, either they were abandoned for a long period, or the ores were scarce. Not only were there no rare ores, the iron ores were also hard to find, causing Ji Fengyan unable to see any decent ores.
After viewing the entire journey and walking many steep roads, there was still no sign of the mineral vein that Ji Fengyan was looking for.
It was till the time that Ji Fengyan’s shoulders were covered with some dirt and she had just walked out of the eighth mineral vein that the smile in her eyes finally disappeared.
In the mineral vein just now, if not for Linghe’s fast reflexes to crush that rock, Ji Fengyan would have gotten hurt from the huge stone that had fallen from above.
But even so, Linghe and the other guards were already looking dishevelled.
