"What has happened? Don't tell me you have met with danger?" Looking at Linghe's dishevelled state, Lei Xu approached them and asked hypocritically with a remorseful face, "Fengyan, it's not that I want to nag at you, but seeing you act so wilfully, I really could not bear it any longer as your elder. The mineral vein itself is originally full of danger, with the possible threat of collapse at any moment. Even though you are curious, you should also not play with your life. Even if you do not care about the lives of these guards, you should also keep yourself safe." Lei Xu said earnestly.

But from what Linghe heard, this bastard was obviously spouting sarcastic words, and even wanted to sow discord between their Miss and them.

Linghe was utterly enraged. After walking into these mineral veins, there were none that were not abandoned caves.

Even if he was dead, he would not believe that this was a coincidence!

"Master Lei! This is the matter you settled? Are Ji City's mineral veins really this unbearable?" As Linghe spoke, his hands were already holding onto the handle of his sword. His slightly bloodshot eyes revealed the fury that was burning in him.

They were all warriors who had gone onto battlefields with the terminator. All of them had experienced uncountable bloodshed and survived near death situations. They had restrained their murderous aura previously because they did not want to bring any trouble to Ji Fengyan, but Lei Xu's multiple tricks had already made Linghe unable to tolerate any longer.

This time, even if Miss stopped them, they would still fix Lei Xu's wagon!

Lei Xu was also not stupid. Seeing Linghe and those guards emitting with murderous aura, their eyes becoming smaller and their smiles fading, he said as if he was at a loss, "I'm afraid this brother here has misunderstood me. Even though there are indeed quite a few mineral veins around Ji City, the weather during the past period has been undesirable. The strong winds and heavy rains resulted in the collapse of many ore caves. As of now, there are only these remaining mineral veins around Ji City and the rest have already been buried. It was not my intent to bring Fengyan to these caves."

After he said that, he turned towards the heads of the prestigious families standing behind and continued, "Everyone here has a high status in Ji City, you should also have heard about this, may I trouble everyone to please testify for me."

Those family heads all nodded and all of them attested to Lei Xu's words.

Linghe's face became even more unpleasant. At this point, he then realised this sly old fox Lei Xu's intent in inviting all these people.

These people all held certain power in Ji City. If he had really done anything to Lei Xu here, he would be accused with the offence of going against his superior. By then these family heads would be the witnesses, and if he was blamed for this, even Ji Fengyan's reputation would be tarnished.

This was obviously a scheme Lei Xu had plotted against them!

Linghe bristled with anger. Those family heads were clearly standing on Lei Xu's side and continuously pressured them.

At this moment, Linghe wished that he did not have to return to the battlefield and care about any stupid rules, and directly kill Lei Xu with one swing of his sword!

"Oh? Many places have collapsed? I'm not sure where these collapsed mineral veins are, may I trouble Master Lei to bring us there?" Ji Fengyan suddenly said, and there was still no smile on her face.

Lei Xu glanced at Ji Fengyan and laughed to himself, even though his face was still pretending to smile and be kind. He said, "No problem. I shall bring you there now."

"Thanks for your help." Ji Fengyan smiled. The lowering of her eyes hid the sharp look that flashed across her eyes.

No matter how Lei Xu had messed around, she did not care, but… Linghe and the rest were all brought by her. Lei Xu actually had the nerve to tamper with the cave, causing them to almost sustain injuries… Did he really think that she was a good-for-nothing without a temper?!
