Master Ge said casually, "How many Dao Origin Stones do you get every month?"
Jiang Wang was born in a Daoist school in an orthodox Daoist country, so he hadn't seen the lives of cultivators at the bottom.
However, the filthy thoughts of humans were nothing new at any level.
Jiang Wang raised his head and glanced at him, but he didn't say anything.
Being called "Master" here and there, he really thought he was a master.
The old cultivator surnamed Ge stayed for a while. When he saw that Jiang Wang didn't respond, his expression turned ugly, and he left with a wave of his hand.
When he spoke, he didn't avoid Shuanzi, who was guarding the door. Shuanzi also nodded and bowed to him as he left, as if he was already used to this kind of status.
Jiang Wang closed his eyes and meditated for a while. Then, Manager Hu trotted back.
Perhaps because he was too excited, he shouted "Ah 'an" too quickly. The two words merged into one, and he shouted "An".
"I've asked someone to make the bed for you. Is it okay for you?"
Looking at his wrinkled face, Jiang Wang had goosebumps all over his body, and it took him a long time to calm down.
He responded, "Yes."
The environment of the mine naturally couldn't be too good, but the Hu Family's Mine still specially prepared a small courtyard for the cultivators stationed here.
As for why there were four cultivators but six small courtyards, those who knew would naturally understand.
As long as Junggenjia didn't come to check seriously, these six small courtyards would never be full.
The cultivators ate and lived separately from the miners, and they rarely interacted with each other.
When he walked to the entrance of the small courtyard, a middle-aged man with drooping eyes and an unshaven beard walked over.
"Master Xiang!" Manager Hu greeted him.
The middle-aged man called "Master Xiang" only raised his hand as a response. He didn't look sideways and walked away, minding his own business.
Manager Hu had long been accustomed to his character. As he pushed the door open, he explained, "Master Xiang is like this. He doesn't have a problem with anyone. He's just muddling along. "
Jiang Wang nodded.
The layout of the small courtyard was very ordinary, but it was considered pretty good in a place like the mine.
Because it had just been tidied up, it looked clean, bright, and bright.
Jiang Wang casually looked around and expressed his satisfaction.
Manager Hu, on the other hand, was somewhat bashful as he said, "Ah An, I've just arrived and there aren't any maids in the courtyard. Well, she had asked Lord Zhang's maidservant to help her clean the courtyard. Only when I return to town at the end of the month will I be able to recruit new maids for you. "
Caretaker Hu looked at Jiang Wang and seemed to be too embarrassed to open his mouth, "Why don't we make do with the suppository for the next few days?"
"Lord Zhang" should be the third Transcendent cultivator of the Hu Mine. From Manager Hu's words, he should be someone who was easy to talk to.
As for the maids …
Jiang Wang silently glanced at the honest-looking Shuan Zi.
Shuan Zi also laughed enthusiastically.
"…"
Jiang Wang purposely asked, "Why is it that Caretaker Hu has such a high position and is also from the same family as Police Constable Hu, yet you don't have a maid to serve you?"
"Yes, yes. Can I transfer it over for you?" As Caretaker Hu spoke, he leaned close to Jiang Wang's ear and added in a low voice, "Well, that old woman comes to see you once a month. That guy has very sharp nails."
Jiang Wang laughed, "Alright, alright, Caretaker Hu. I'm not that precious and don't need people to serve me at all times. You guys just have to prepare the meals on time. "
Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, Caretaker Hu smiled until his old face twisted together. No matter how he looked at him, he found him pleasing to the eye.
But he still said in a very formal manner, "At the end of the month, uh, I'll definitely pick a clever and pleasant one for you!"
At this moment, Master Ge's voice came from outside the door, "I heard that Zhang Hai's maidservant was asked to help clean this courtyard. How can this be? Wouldn't this be neglecting our little brother? "
He walked into the small courtyard with a fake smile, followed by a woman who lowered her head and followed his footsteps.
He looked at Jiang Wang with a playful gaze, "Previously, there weren't enough maids in my courtyard, so I borrowed some from here. Since you're here, I'll return them to you. You won't have any objections, right? "
Without waiting for Jiang Wang to speak, he turned to Caretaker Hu and said, "If you're hiring a new maidservant at the end of the month, it just so happens that my courtyard's maidservant is tired of looking at them. Get me a new one."
Caretaker Hu agreed, "Understood, Master Ge."
Jiang Wang now understood why Caretaker Hu was so coy before. It turned out that this courtyard originally had a maidservant, but the one surnamed Ge took her away. He didn't dare to offend Master Ge, so he could only vaguely let it go.
He didn't have any objections to Caretaker Hu because of this. He just felt that this old man surnamed Ge was really narrow-minded and disgusting.
Jiang Wang didn't care whether the maidservant who took this courtyard would return or not. However, Old Man Ge deliberately delivered himself to his doorstep, making it clear that he wanted to disgust him.
However, Jiang Wang always remembered the purpose of his trip. Before he obtained enough information, he wouldn't expose himself.
Therefore, he only smiled, "Master Ge is old and needs to be served. I can completely understand. You can also bring this maidservant back. I'm not a cripple, so I have no problem taking care of myself. "
His expression was gentle, but there were thorns in his softness.
"You'd better stay." Master Ge said half-gloomily, "It's the intersection of spring and summer. Be careful not to catch a cold at night."
"That's not necessary." Jiang Wang subconsciously refused again, but stopped himself.
Because at this moment, he saw the woman behind Master Ge raise her head.
It wasn't that she was an outstanding beauty.
Instead, there was a trace of … silent pleading in her bruised eyes.
That glimmer of bitterness and hope mixed together was really hard to be ruthless enough to extinguish.
No wonder she kept her head down, because there were injuries on her face.
"Then stay." Jiang Wang corrected himself.
"Did you hear that? Still not getting over? "Master Ge frowned.
That maidservant took two light steps.
"You can't do anything well! You're walking so slowly! "Master Ge picked her up and threw her at Jiang Wang.
Even though she was suddenly lifted and thrown out like a weapon, that maidservant didn't dare to scream loudly. She just tightly shut her eyes.
However, she didn't feel the pain she expected. Only a gentle force wrapped around her. She seemed to have fallen into cotton.
She opened her eyes and saw a young man's face. In addition to his original delicate appearance, there was a trace of determination that was rarely seen at this age.
Jiang Wang casually put her down.
Then he took a step forward and looked straight at Master Ge. "Surnamed Ge, you're too presumptuous!"
Although he came here for other purposes, he couldn't let others bully him. That kind of forbearance would easily arouse suspicion.
"Not necessary, not necessary. Come, come, come, Master Ge. " Seeing that the situation had escalated, Manager Hu hurriedly came up to smooth things over. "Uh, there's a new bottle of good quality tiger bone wine over there. Do you want to taste it?"
Master Ge was just angry and deliberately came over to disgust Jiang Wang and show off his seniority. It wasn't that he really wanted to fight to the death with him.
The older a person was, the more they cherished their life. The gains wouldn't make up for the losses if things got out of hand.
Hearing this, he only snorted. "Then let's go and try it."
Manager Hu was smooth and slick. While leading the way, he even turned around and said to Jiang Wang, "This one is going to rest first. Uh, later on, I'll also send this one a jar."
Even after they walked far away, Manager Hu's flattering voice still faintly sounded. "This one is a cultivator lord. How should I put it? There's no need to quarrel over us mortals, is there?"
In a short time, the people in the courtyard had all left. Only Jiang Wang and the maid remained.
"What's your name?" Jiang Wang asked.
The maid bowed before replying, "This one's name is Xiaoxiao."
Her voice was a bit young and slightly hoarse.
She probably wasn't very old, but she'd suffered a lot.
"Okay, go and tidy up your room."
Jiang Wang casually ordered, then turned around and walked towards the bedroom he'd chosen.
After walking a few steps, he turned around again.
"I told you to tidy up your own room. Why are you following me?"
Although Jiang Wang's voice was already very gentle, Xiaoxiao was still startled. She didn't know where to put her hands. She was particularly terrified and didn't know what to do.
Under her messy long hair was a still young face. Right now, one of her eyes was bruised and swollen, while the other was filled with flustered tears.
She looked particularly pitiful.
Jiang Wang sighed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He only pointed to the room on the left. "That's your room."
