26: I'm a gold miner!
After a fit of wild laughter, Teng Nuo began planning for tomorrow.
Two Personal Disciples of Xuanjian Sect, and disciples with important connections at that.
Teng Nuo had never fought such a prosperous and easy battle in his life!
“Could it be... my good fortune has truly arrived?”
A thought like this drifted through his mind, and the more Teng Nuo thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
However, what Teng Nuo didn't know was that his good fortune was a bit too much...
“Another day full of vitality. After a night of hard work, I didn't expect to still be this strong!”
At Wangshi Dam, in a certain restaurant, after leaving his bed, Xu Xi stretched and let out a sigh of emotion.
He had fought non-stop last night, and although it was one against two, Xu Xi had never been at a disadvantage.
“Indeed, Senior Brother Xu’s riding skills are still outstanding. Yaqian admits defeat.”
After Xu Xi sobered up, Zhao Yaqian naturally didn't fall behind.
She looked at Xu Xi with alluring eyes, praising him profusely, as Xu Xi’s performance last night had indeed satisfied her.
Zhao Yaqian and Ye Xueqing together couldn't defeat Xu Xi.
“Let's hurry and set off. It's getting late. If we miss the opportunity, it will be bad.”
Ye Xueqing's voice came. When not in battle, Ye Xueqing was not so wild.
Her clear and rational words, as she put on the clothes Xu Xi had long since taken off, her graceful figure gave Xu Xi the urge to take up his spear and fight again.
But fortunately, even while suppressing his younger brother, Xu Xi understood what was most important at the moment.
After sobering up, he was the first to leave, then disguised himself as he had been yesterday, and led the other Xuanjian Sect disciples to the Spirit Stone Mine.
Of course, along the way, Zhao Yaqian didn't stop seducing Xu Xi. Perhaps it was because Xu Xi hadn't launched an attack that morning, which made Zhao Yaqian a bit dissatisfied.
“I’ll deal with you properly tonight. Let you be arrogant for a while.”
His burning passion was aroused, but Xu Xi, in front of everyone, naturally couldn't unleash his beastly nature and start a battle directly. He could only take up his spear and rush to the battlefield at night.
This night, Xu Xi would make the other party understand what it meant for the long spear to move and the white dragon to roar!
...“Alright, we've arrived. Everyone, go over in batches. Don't be too obvious. Senior Sister Ye and I will go first.”
“You all should pretend to have been lured over and enter after half an incense stick of time.”
As they were about to reach the location, Xu Xi stopped, confirmed his disguise was flawless, then looked towards Ye Xueqing, signaling her to go ahead with him to scout.
“Hmm, Junior Brother Xu and I will go first. You all listen to Junior Brother Xu’s arrangements and go over after half an incense stick of time.”
Understanding Xu Xi's idea, Ye Xueqing didn't hesitate and went directly with Xu Xi to the Spirit Stone Mine.
“Who goes there!”
Before Xu Xi could even see the outline of the Spirit Stone Mine, he and Ye Xueqing were discovered by the patrolling disciples of Xiaoyao Sect.
Of course, this was also intentional on Xu Xi’s part. If he wasn't discovered by them, how could he blend in?
When the Xiaoyao Sect disciple, holding a large spear, stared at Xu Xi as if facing a formidable enemy and pressed closer step by step, Xu Xi's actions, however, left the other party somewhat dumbfounded.
“Hello, big brother!”
“I heard that the Spirit Stone Mine here is recruiting miners?”
“I am a golden miner, the best at mining. I hit the mark every time, no need for a hard hat!”
Bending down from time to time, Xu Xi's words were mixed with memes from Blue Star, a personal bad habit of his.
“You're here to mine?”
“You look quite shabby, and not like someone looking for trouble, so follow me.”
He looked at Xu Xi with a mix of suspicion and a hint of disdain in his eyes.
What the patrolling disciple never expected was that he had encountered a fool.
“Is this person from Xuanjian Sect?”
“That shouldn't be, right?”
“Perhaps it’s a fool Liu Haizhu lured over before?”
While leading Xu Xi forward, the patrolling disciple couldn't help but ponder whether this man and woman were truly Personal Disciples of Xuanjian Sect.
If it weren't for Teng Nuo's instructions last night, the patrolling disciple would never have associated this big fool with the Personal Disciples of Xuanjian Sect.
“Forget it, just take them over. Even if they're not from Xuanjian Sect, they were going to be dealt with after being used anyway.”
Quickly casting aside those distracting thoughts, the patrolling disciple was quite efficient, knowing what he should do at the moment.
Walking along, after a moment, he led Xu Xi and Ye Xueqing to an open area, where a large group of people had also gathered.
Dressed plainly, each person held specialized equipment for mining spirit stones. Clearly, this was the mining team of the Spirit Stone Mine.
“Please register first. Although our requirements are not high, we still need to understand your origins and strength.”
“Otherwise, if hostile elements come to cause trouble, we will have a headache.”
Even though Xiaoyao Sect was already very irregular here, Xu Xi didn't expect their procedures to be so complete, even requiring registration.
“Zhang San.”
“Ye Yu.”
Xu Xi and Ye Xueqing quickly filled in some information, preparing some details to hide their identities, ensuring no flaws that would allow them to be seen through at a glance.
“Alright, go and queue up.”
After collecting the information, the registration staff told Xu Xi and Ye Xueqing to wait aside.
“Something's not right... Shouldn't they just make us mine immediately...?”
“We're essentially expendable labor. Once used, we'll have no value. There's no reason for them to make us wait...”
Standing aside with the other miners, Xu Xi sensed something was off.
Xiaoyao Sect wasn't so kind as to let the fat meat in its mouth be chewed for a while longer before spitting it out.
“Senior Sister Ye, if the situation seems wrong, leave immediately. They might have other plans.”
Not believing his disguise was flawed, Xu Xi attributed all the abnormalities to the Xiaoyao Sect people having an additional plan.
He warned Ye Xueqing to pay attention to the situation, but Xu Xi himself wasn't too worried.
At the peak of the fifth-stage Spirit Refinement, and with various trump cards, Xu Xi's strength was not weak. At least, according to intelligence, Teng Nuo, who guarded this place, was not a match for Xu Xi in a single move.
“Hmm, I know, Junior Brother, don't worry.”
Ye Xueqing responded to Xu Xi's words without a change in expression, though for a moment, a hint of worry flickered in her heart.
But thinking of Xu Xi's strength, she immediately felt at ease again.
Her gaze swept around, Ye Xueqing tried to glean the truth from the actions of others, but it was all in vain.
Xu Xi and their acting skills were not bad, but Xiaoyao Sect was no different.
The reason they had led Xu Xi here but hadn't acted yet was that not everyone had arrived.
Only when the other Xuanjian Sect members also came in would it be time for Teng Nuo to cast his net.
“Xu Xi... Ye Xueqing...”
“Neither of these two matches. Could it be that these two aren't them yet?”
