C157 Goodbye (1/2)
”Now?”
The two of them walked out of the car and looked at each other, Chang Jing purposely pretended that she did not care that everything was broken down in front of her, and reluctantly asked, ”I wonder when we will meet again?”
Xi Yan smiled sweetly, ”If fate wills it, we can meet again! ”However, if you really want to meet me, you are welcome to come to the capital to find me. I will treat you to dinner.”
Chang Jing still wanted to say something, but Xi Yan's servants were already hurrying them, saying that they would delay their journey if they were to be late.
”Well, see you then,” he said helplessly. ”I hope I can see you there next time!”
”Of course!”
After saying her goodbyes, Chang Jing didn't even know when she got in the car. When he came back to her senses, his car was already three miles away.
”Well, where shall we go today?”
”The western suburbs of Boyu City. His absence yesterday had made her very unhappy.
”Oh, I heard that it's the slums. You should pray for them. Let me sleep first.”
Then, he ignored Huo Wu's widened eyes and just laid down to sleep …
Uzzi was located in the western suburbs of Boyu City. There were plenty of minerals here, but the pollution was very serious. It was so serious that no one wanted to live there — only the miners who sold their labor but couldn't get enough food and their families couldn't live there. Because of this, this place was truly a slum.
Under the guidance of the eight monsters, the car soon arrived at the destination, Uzzie. Chang Jing and the other two thought that they had walked into the wrong place after getting off the carriage. How could this be a slum?
The road was even larger and wider than the Boyu City's main road. The clean road had perfect greenery on it, and rows after rows of luxurious carriages were parked beside it. Just as they were astonished, well-dressed miners came up to welcome them with smiles on their faces.
The mine owners of Uzzi had already received a notice from the mayor yesterday saying that they would welcome the Blessed One. However, they were not interested in his actions at all — they were all poor people, so what good fortune was there for them! However, they still did not dare to be negligent. Firstly, the City Lord offending him was a great honor to them, so they naturally did not want to give up on it. As a result, they had been waiting here since early morning.
Facing their wild flattery, Chang Jing and the other three felt disgusted, but there was nothing they could do. This was their job, no matter how disgusting it was, they had to bear it.
Under the lead of the mine owners, the four of them walked through the neat and tidy streets and headed deeper into the mine. However, the scene before them was completely different – they saw rows of shabby wooden houses in front of them, while outside the house, there were piles of broken things, along with a cooking pot.
Regarding this, Huo Wu, Yin Feng, and Nian Tu, they didn't really feel much about it. Just based on their own words, this place was a little dirty, and the living standard was much better than when they were living in the forest back then.
But Chang Jing was different. Although he was not born and bred in a wealthy family, she had never experienced hardships. When he saw the toddlers with dark faces picking up food from the ground, he was stunned. What kind of scene was this? The children that society called the princesses the young emperors of the family were living in such dire straits? How could their parents be any better?
Could this be what you call a slum?!
The head of the mine saw that Chang Jing's expression changed, and immediately chased the children away, mumbling to himself that the poor wretch's child was a poor wretch his entire life!
Chang Jing could not help but snort coldly: ”Don't you think that their poverty is caused by the exploitation of you people?”
They had heard of the word ”exploitation” before, but they had never taken it to heart. However, it was different when it came out of Chang Jing's mouth now.
”Master Holy Envoy, this is none of our business. These people don't have Magic Cores s, so they can't do anything but work. And everything that we do is legal, the taxes that we pay to the City Lord every year have never fallen off! And if we didn't work for them, their lives wouldn't be secure. ”
Chang Jing thought about it, that was true, she had never broken the law, what's the use of saying it, so he could only follow the mine owner's footsteps and not speak anymore.
His heart was filled with grief as he watched the scenes playing out in front of his eyes.
He said to Yin Feng and the other two, ”Maybe we should really do something for them!”
The latter nodded her head vigorously. Although they did not have any mercy, their teacher's order was something that they were most willing to follow.
