Chapter 19 – Nie Zhan

“Second Uncle, don’t worry. Although that chick Nie Li isn’t in, but Uncle Nie still accepts you. He promised me to help you mine previously.”

Fatty comforted Lin Hao upon seeing the uneasiness on his face.

“What, what! You asked him to help me mine?!”

Lin Hao, who was nonchalant at first, was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

“Yeah, didn’t Uncle Nie go there?”

Fatty stared blankly for a moment. In his eyes, Uncle Nie was someone who would do exactly what he said he would do, and wouldn’t renege on his promise.

“No, he did come…”

Lin Hao let out a sigh. A middle-aged man appeared in his mind.

No wonder his gaze on me felt weird.

Lin Hao felt uneasy thinking about what Fatty had said to the middle-age man.

Initially he had perceived the middle-age man as an eccentric person. But now that he thought about it, maybe he himself was a scoundrel in the middle-age man’s eyes.

Wait…

Seemingly thinking of something, Lin Hao trembled.

“Not good!”

“What happened?”

“Uncle Nie may still be inside the mine. The mine has collapsed, he …”

Speaking up till here, Lin Hao’s heart sank.

He had thought that something didn’t feel quite right when he first saw the courtyard but couldn’t point out what was wrong. But he understood it now; it was too lifeless.

Such a big courtyard, yet there wasn’t a single light lit. Moreover, it was too quiet, quite to the point that it was too scary!

Nie Li had gone to the Heavenly Eagle Tribe, leaving such a big courtyard behind with Nie Zhan as the only person residing within. If Nie Zhan didn’t live here, it would naturally become lifeless.

“What!”

Fatty was surprised as well, but reacted immediately and said to Lin Hao, “Second Uncle, don’t be worried. Uncle Nie was once a hunting squad warrior with the strength of fifth layer of Condensed Fighter Blood stage. Even if the mine collapsed, he should be fine. I reckon he should be just trapped inside.”

Hearing such words, Lin Hao finally calmed down.

If Nie Zhan were to get hurt due to helping him, that would be a big problem. Nie Li would definitely not let him live peacefully.

“What should we do now?” He knitted his brows.

“You hide here first, I will go look for help!” Fatty replied.
