Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting dressed up as mine slaves and went to the entrance.

The door was broken. At this moment, more than ten mine slaves who knew carpentry were repairing the door.

The two of them exchanged glances and ran in the direction they came from!

“Stop right there!”

A mining slave supervisor stopped them.

The two of them turned.

Wei Ting used his superb acting skills to block Su Xiaoxiao behind him. He pointed at the grass not far away guiltily and fearfully. “There’s… something there.”

The sergeant looked into the grass.

Good lord, an ingot of silver!

No wonder these two rushed over to pick up the silver!

There was another supervisor here to supervise.

He did not want to split the silver with the other party.

He cleared his throat and scolded in a low voice, “Hurry up and work. If you dare to say another word…”

Wei Ting hurriedly said, “No, no!”

He held Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and brought her to the entrance. Someone pushed a cart to transport the wooden boards.

“Leave it to us.”

Wei Ting volunteered to take the car.

This was a laborious job.

That person looked at Wei Ting strangely. Since someone was willing to push, he could not ask for more.

Wei Ting pushed the cart while Su Xiaoxiao pretended to help him.

The two of them cooperated well and walked into the mine.

Along the way, the two of them encountered many mine slaves. Most of them were dressed in rags and were thin.

“They’re not having a good time.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I heard from Uncle Quan that when Old Master Qiancheng was alive, there were no mining slaves in the mine. There were only long-term and short-term jobs. They relied on their strength to earn money. Later on, after the mine was controlled by the Xue, Feng, and Mu families, they gradually switched to using mining slaves.”

Wei Ting pushed the cart. “Switched?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes, if you want to continue working in the mine, you have to sign a slave status and sell yourself for money. Those who didn’t want to be slaves were sent away by the mine for various reasons. Later on, they simply bought mine slaves from outside.”

Wei Ting was vigilant of the movements around him and asked calmly, “Did they buy from the human broker or the prison?”

“You know quite a lot.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him in a different light. “Half, half. Most of the prisoners on death row in the cell have been exiled here to be mine slaves.”

Wei Ting glanced at her. “Is this why you insisted on taking back the mineral vein?”

Su Xiaoxiao paused. “Not all. The mineral vein belongs to the Cheng family to begin with. It’s understandable for me to take it back for my grandmother.”

She was not a Bodhisattva or a savior.

She just felt that a gentleman loved money.

Wei Ting did not say anything else.

She always said that he was stubborn, but wasn’t she the same?

The world was too big. She was only doing her best to protect the small sense of justice in her heart.

She didn’t think she was anything special.

However, it was unknown how many people were saved.

Pushing the empty cart was a little eye-catching. Wei Ting placed some wooden boards and stones inside.

The two of them tried their best to avoid the patrolling guards and gradually walked towards the route shown on the map.

When they turned into a ravine, Wei Ting threw the cart there.

The mine was still a little far. Only Cheng Sang was smart enough to remember the winding route.

After walking further and further away, the two of them began to use their qinggong.

If she didn’t encounter the patrolling guards, Su Xiaoxiao would do it herself.

If she encountered them, Wei Ting would bring her along.

After traveling like this for 15 minutes, Wei Ting was surprised to discover that her qinggong had improved a lot compared to when she was at Broken North Pass.

“Have you been practicing qinggong in the Cheng family recently?” Wei Ting asked.

“No.” Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Why are you suddenly asking?”

Wei Ting said coldly, “Nothing.”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Ah, do you think my qinggong is better than before?” Wei Ting did not admit or deny it.

Su Xiaoxiao said strangely, “Looks like it’s not my imagination. I thought I had lost weight again and become lighter. Speaking of which, it’s strange. Ever since I was hit by the Holy Maiden’s internal force last time, all the meridians in my body seem to have been opened.”

The corners of Wei Ting’s mouth twitched.

Su Li was slapped by the Saintess and was half-dead.

If he knew that Su Xiaoxiao had her meridians opened, Su Li would definitely vomit blood.

“Someone’s coming!”

Wei Ting restrained his thoughts in time and jumped onto a big tree with Su Xiaoxiao.

A team of patrolling guards walked past under the tree.

One of them was holding a food box.

Su Xiaoxiao sniffed.

There was the smell of ghee and osmanthus cake.

The most important thing now was to find out the secret of the abandoned mine. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t take it to heart..
