"Jia Xiaoliu! Hurry up and let go! " Before the guard could swing his fist, he heard a roar coming from afar. Then, he was kicked away.
Jia Hongyong appeared in front of Xiao Chen angrily. He pointed at Jia Xiaoliu, who had been kicked to the ground, and scolded, "I think you're the one with the guts! Do you not want to work here anymore? How dare you offend my esteemed guest? If you don't want to work here, just tell me and I'll kick you out immediately! "
"I … this … Deputy Steward Jia, I'm here to supervise today, right? Just now, I saw him acting suspiciously … uh, wandering around here, so I stopped him. I didn't know he was your guest! Otherwise, why would I be disrespectful to him? "Jia Xiaoliu retorted with an aggrieved expression as he rubbed his butt that had been kicked.
"Cut the crap, get lost!" Jia Hongyong glared at Jia Xiaoliu, then turned to Xiao Chen and said respectfully, "Hero Xiao, I'm sorry, I didn't teach my men well. They're too insensible. Please don't lower yourself to their level!"
"It's fine. Actually, I was in the wrong too. After all, this is the place you are in charge of. I should have told you before entering the mine." Xiao Chen waved his hand, not minding it too much.
In fact, Jia Xiaoliu could not be said to have done anything wrong. He was just doing his duty. Otherwise, if anyone could come and go as they pleased, the spiritual jades would have been stolen long ago.
"Hero Xiao, you're so forgiving!" Jia Hongyong did not boast because of this. He still bowed humbly and said, "You're going to the mine, right? Do as you please, do as you please! I'll go and explain to the guard now, lest there be any more misunderstandings and delay Hero Xiao's business! "
After that, Jia Hongyong dragged Jia Xiaoliu, who had just gotten up, to a corner not far away. It seemed like he was going to lecture him.
Xiao Chen couldn't stop him in time. He smiled helplessly and blamed himself in his heart. After all, he was the one who acted recklessly and caused the loyal Jia Xiaoliu to be reprimanded. He was too embarrassed. It seemed that he would have to be more careful in the future.
Thinking of his own thoughts, Xiao Chen turned around and walked into the mine. On the other side of the forest, Xing's head popped out. She blinked her eyes and looked in his direction.
Seeing that Xiao Chen's figure had already disappeared into the mine, Little Miss Xing thought for a moment. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one guarding the entrance of the mine, she decisively chased after Xiao Chen. She wanted to see what exactly Xiao Chen was going to do.
Jia Hongyong was scolding Jia Xiaoliu, while Jia Xiaoliu's head was lowered. Neither of them noticed that a pretty figure flashed by and entered the mine.
"Deputy Manager, I really didn't do it on purpose! I know you said that a guest was coming, so I stopped him. I was afraid that he would sneak into the mine and disturb your guest! "Jia Xiaoliu said with a bitter expression.
"What guest are you talking about? How come I didn't know that a guest was coming? Did anyone enter the mine just now? "Jia Hongyong snorted and looked coldly at Jia Xiaoliu as he asked expressionlessly.
"Ah?! That man just now … "Jia Xiaoliu was startled. He wanted to argue, but he saw Jia Hongyong looking at him strangely. He immediately swallowed the second half of his sentence.
"Which man?" Jia Hongyong asked again slowly. If this brat still didn't understand, then he had to take some measures!
Jia Xiaoliu didn't know what suddenly happened, but he suddenly realized something and said, "Yes, yes, yes! No guest came, and no one entered the mine. I didn't sleep well last night, so my eyes were playing tricks on me! "
"En, you're smart. Remember, don't say things you shouldn't say, and don't look at things you shouldn't look at, or else …" Jia Hongyong didn't continue and gave him a "you know" look.
"I know, I know! That … Deputy Manager, if there's nothing else, I'll continue to guard the entrance of the mine. Don't worry, I won't say anything! " Jia Xiaoliu couldn't help but shiver. He immediately lowered his head and ran to the entrance of the high-grade mine. He stood there obediently and didn't move, just like when no one was around.
Jia Hongyong saw this and nodded in satisfaction. He looked into the depths of the mine, but it was dark and he couldn't see anything.
He didn't want to know why Xiao Chen ran into the mine, so he turned around and walked to his room, quickly disappearing.
Xiao Chen didn't know the conversation between the two people outside. He followed the dim light of the mine and walked straight into the depths of the mine.
The deeper he went, the narrower the tunnel became. There were also some places where water was seeping out. Xiao Chen guessed that this mine had been dug not long ago, so the walls had not been reinforced. From time to time, there would be dirt falling from above.
Although the mine was very simple, Xiao Chen felt that the surrounding spiritual energy was getting thicker and thicker. It was obvious that there was a lot of high-grade spiritual jades stored in this mine.
Moreover, he had specially used his divine sense to check. The load-bearing framework around the mine was very reasonable. Even if he dug for three to five years, it wouldn't collapse. The safety factor could be considered to be international standards.
After walking for a while, Xiao Chen finally found a relatively clean and suitable place. He sat down and planned to cultivate here.
Since it was already late at night, and with Jia Hongyong's greeting, there definitely wouldn't be any miners coming in to dig. Not far behind him was that little girl Xing, so Xiao Chen didn't have to worry about being seen by others.
After sitting down cross-legged, Xiao Chen began to circulate his mental cultivation method. Gradually, the spiritual jades embedded in the nearby rocks seemed to resonate and emitted a strange light. The light was strong but not dazzling. It was obvious that the spiritual jades were of much higher quality than the normal spiritual jades that Jia Hongyong had given him.
The energy of the Spirit Jade gradually turned into threads that were invisible to the naked eye, surrounding Xiao Chen. As the speed at which he circulated his mental cultivation method increased, those threads were like a silkworm cocoon, tightly wrapping around his body!
Little girl Xing, who was hiding nearby, was scared silly. She had never seen such a scene in her life.
Although she couldn't see any changes in Xiao Chen's body, she could see the continuous light emitting from the surrounding rocks. She could also feel the strong waves of energy continuously surging towards Xiao Chen's location!
Xiao Chen didn't care about the situation around him at all. He continued to crazily absorb the threads of energy around him. The seemingly inexhaustible energy continuously flowed into his body. He could feel the injuries in his body gradually recovering, and there was a feeling that he was about to break through!
After an unknown amount of time, the light emitted by the spiritual jades gradually weakened. It was obvious that the energy was about to be completely absorbed by Xiao Chen.
"Peng!"
Finally, a larger spiritual jade directly shattered due to the lack of spiritual energy. It became a useless piece of jade and fell from the cracks in the rocks. When it hit the ground, it turned into powder.
