Chapter 65 (2/2)

Lei Xu's tone sounded as if he was trying to cajole a child.

”Sir Lei, Ji City shouldn't only have this one mineral vein, right?” Ji Fengyan directly asked, essentially ignoring Lei Xu's words.

”Of course not. If Fengyan is still interested though, I can continue to bring you to see a few others. While it's difficult to become interested in this stuff, but looking too much can also be really boring.”

These words of Lei Xu were clearly making Ji Fengyan out to be a little kid who had no problems but went looking for some, causing those family leaders of the several large eminent families of Ji City to secretly laugh.

Ling He almost couldn't restrain himself from stepping up and slapping Lei Xu in the face.

”Then I'll have to trouble you.” Ji Fengyan responded calmly.

Lei Xu signalled Qi and thus, the group that hadn't stopped there for long once again continued on.

Later on, under the guidance of Qi, Ji Fengyan looked over seven to eight other mineral veins. However, the situation of each and every single mineral vein was the exact same as the first one. If it hadn't been abandoned for a long time, then it was lacking in ores. Not to mention rare ores, Ji Fengyan could barely find even the most common iron ones.

Ji Fengyan had been observing this entire trip and travelled over quite a few rugged mountain slopes, but there wasn't even the slightest sign of the mineral veins that she was looking for.

Directly until Ji Fengyan exited the eighth mineral vein, her shoulders covered in quite a bit of dirt, the smile in the depths of her eyes completely disappeared.

Just a while ago in that tunnel, a stone half the size of a man had fallen. If it wasn't because Ling He and the others reacted fast enough and shattered that stone, then it was like that Ji Fengyan would have already been injured by now.

Even so, Ling He and the other several guards still appeared rather dishevelled at the moment.
