Tan Shuangshuang knew Yan Xing because Liang Ziqian’s ntor took Liang Ziqian to et Yan Xing to broaden his horizons in their previous life. Tan Shuangshuang, as Liang Ziqian’s maid, followed along and t Yan Xing. At that ti, Yan Xing left the deepest impression on Tan Shuangshuang: cunning!

During casual conversations, he could easily suppress others’ interests to the limit and gain insight into people’s hearts. Such a formidable character appearing in the Bai Family made Tan Shuangshuang have so unpleasant guesses.

To be honest, although secret silver gold crystal is precious, to soone like Yan Xing, it doesn’t an much. Would he really be attracted here just for a Secret Silver Gold Crystal Mine? Tan Shuangshuang thought it was unlikely unless there were greater interests involved; otherwise, soone like Yan Xing would never personally take action!

A sense of unease arose in Tan Shuangshuang’s heart. With Yan Xing’s involvent, she did not know how many variables would arise in this matter. If Yan Xing forcibly got involved, even the City Lord might not dare to act rashly, given the powerful background of Wanyou Trading House.

No matter what, things had reached this point. Tan Shuangshuang had to first investigate the Bai Family’s situation before planning the next step.

Though her mind spun with thoughts, on the surface, Tan Shuangshuang appeared indifferent. She brushed past Yan Xing and headed to the Bai Family’s stables, rode a Chasing Wind Horse, and hurried towards the Bai Family’s mine with four guards, looking very calm.

The location of the Bai Family’s Secret Silver Mine was already inford to Tan Shuangshuang by Tan Yue when she went to Mang Mountain previously. Moreover, riding on the Chasing Wind Horse, which Bai Shuyao rode daily, the horse recognized the path itself after traveling that route frequently, carrying Tan Shuangshuang all the way to the destination without needing her to control it.

Right after arriving at the location, before Tan Shuangshuang could worry about the next step, a middle-aged man approached her, saluted her, and said, "Second Miss, you’ve arrived. The Family Head says there is an urgent demand for goods recently, so Second Miss should not leave the mine until this busy period is over. Only then can you go ho to rest."

Tan Shuangshuang mimicked Bai Shuyao’s deanor, gave a low "hmm," and silently followed the middle-aged man into the Secret Silver Mine.

The middle-aged man cautioned Tan Shuangshuang as they walked, "Second Miss, today you are responsible for supervising in the new mine tunnel. Although these martial artists have lost their combat effectiveness, you must remain vigilant to prevent any accidents. Also, although these martial artists have lowly lives and it doesn’t matter if they die, we still need people right now, so Second Miss should try not to deplete them excessively."

Tan Shuangshuang responded with a couple of "hmm hmms" in Bai Shuyao’s manner while secretly observing the surroundings. The Secret Silver Mine seed to be operating normally, with mbers of the Bai Family doing the work, but their efforts were lax, as working for half a day wouldn’t even yield two pieces of secret silver.

Following the middle-aged man, Tan Shuangshuang wound through the mine, continually advancing until there were no more traces of secret silver, and large rocks began to appear ahead.

The middle-aged man fiddled with a spot next to a rock, then pulled a latch from sowhere, and with a sound of chanisms turning, the huge rock rotated like a trapdoor, revealing another mine tunnel.

The middle-aged man, familiar with the route, led Tan Shuangshuang inside to continue moving forward. This tunnel was long and silent at first, but after following the middle-aged man for a stretch, sounds ahead beca noisy.

A mix of voices talking and digging echoed around, with the occasional whip crack slicing through the air, striking flesh, followed by suppressed cries of pain from the whipped individuals.

Turning a corner with the middle-aged man, Tan Shuangshuang finally saw the scene ahead. At just a glance, she almost couldn’t help but frown; the scene was too miserable!

Ragged martial artists, shackled hand and foot with lock chains, were driven to constantly mine by a group of people wearing luxurious clothing and holding whips. The miners were covered in whip marks, and almost none were uninjured.
