This time, Lei Xu brought Ji Fengyan and the others along a long route. The night was falling and the dusk glow fell on the forest in the hill.
Finally, Lei Xu stopped in front of a huge ore cave. But a large pile of huge rocks completely blocked the entrance of that cave and it was impossible to see inside.
“This is Ji City’s better area, but... Fengyan, you have also seen it, your Uncle Lei did not deceive you, this cave has already collapsed due to the extreme weather previously. It is not because I am unwilling to bring you here, but even if you are here, you are also unable to enter,” Lei Xu sighed, as he also did not have a choice.
Ji Fengyan squinted her eyes and from the crevices between those rocks, she could already see the spiritual energy emitting from the various coloured rare ores. Lei Xu indeed did not lie—this mineral vein was really better than those before!
“Since it has collapsed for a period, why did you not let people open it up again?” Linghe said with a frown.
It seemed like Lei Xu did not lie, but everything happened too coincidentally. Previously, they did not hear any news of collapsed caves, but after Ji Fengyan requested the day before to look at the caves, all the better caves actually collapsed today. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Lei Xu said neither too fast nor slow. “How is it so easy to dig these mineral veins? It takes up so much manpower and equipment that you cannot imagine it.”
After he said that, Lei Xu looked at Ji Fengyan once again.
“Fengyan, you have also seen it. If you do not believe me, I can bring you to a few other caves.”
As Lei Xu was speaking, Lei Min, who was at the side, had already secretly smiled proudly. There were so many mineral veins in Ji City that common people could not imagine. How could Ji Fengyan, as an outsider, be able to find them? Ultimately, wasn’t it up to Lei Xu to bring them wherever he wanted?
At this point, Lei Min was already very reassured as he knew that his father had prepared a completely safe plan.
“No need.” Ji Fengyan waved her hands in the air.
Lei Xu was secretly pleased with himself.
“As the City Lord of Ji City, I think that I have the right to open these mineral veins for mining, right?” Ji Fengyan suddenly said.
Lei Xu shrugged his shoulders. “This is naturally the case, but judging from your words, Fengyan you are intending to reopen this collapsed cave?”
“Indeed,” Ji Fengyan nodded.
Lei Xu scoffed to himself, but his face seemed like he had no other alternative, “Then it is a pity, this collapsed cave is too dangerous, almost none of the miners in Ji City dare to begin work at such a dangerous place.”
After he finished his sentence, the miners that were led by Ah Qi all stood motionless behind Lei Xu, as if they completely did not hear the fact that Ji Fengyan was Ji City’s City Lord.
“You guys, aren’t you going to move?” Linghe saw that those miners did not act even after a long time and immediately hurried them.
However, Ah Qi and the others still did not move.
“Don’t tell me you guys don’t even listen to the commands of the City Lord?” Linghe scolded.
What he got in response was only silence and Lei Xu almost bursting out in laughter.
Ji Fengyan only brought along her guards, whereas the heads of the prestigious families in Ji City and the miners were all standing behind Lei Xu. It was clear that in their eyes, Lei Xu was the true Ji City’s City Lord.
Any word that Ji Fengyan said was completely like wind to them!
So long as Lei Xu did not order them to do so, none of them would follow Ji Fengyan this City Lord’s commands.
This was exactly what Lei Xu wanted Ji Fengyan to understand. Even if she was Ji Fengyan’s rightful City Lord, but so long as Lei Xu was around, no one would bow down to her title!
