Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the Sea Fog Cave, Jiang Hao was still standing beneath the wall.
But Elder Baizhi had already left. After understanding what had happened here, she did not linger.
Zuo Cheng, on the other hand, stayed for a long time. He wanted to understand the situation in detail before going back to report.
Before Zuo Cheng left, Jiang Hao asked him about what would happen next.
The answer he got was to wait for information.
In other words, they should just continue mining here.
This was really good news, at least for him.
However, the appearance of Heaven Lock would definitely cause a series of changes, and he needed to be careful in how he handled them.
There weren’t many people who knew that Heaven Lock originated from here.
As long as Elder Baizhi and the others didn’t disclose the information, the people present here would be safe.
It’s just that he didn’t know how the people from the Saint Bandits would respond.
Jiang Hao was once again the manager here.
The others didn’t look at him mockingly anymore.
Especially under the light, they had seen Jiang Hao stand there like a hero and gazing at the wall.
“Let’s first repair the surroundings,” Jiang Hao said.
Many things here were broken by the light, and it wouldn’t be good to continue mining without fixing them.
After spending the whole night repairing the damage, everything was done.
All that was left was to mine.
Elder Baizhi had seen the ores, but she didn’t ask any questions, which meant they didn’t need to worry too much about mining secretly.
Junior Brother Jiang, are you going to mine?” Zheng Shijiu and the others were shocked.
Xin Yuyue hesitated. “Could it be that there’s a secret in the mine as well?”
Everyone was concerned about this. There was a secret on the wall, so did mining now mean that it also harbored unknown dangers? After all, no one wanted to go through what had happened yesterday.
The terrifying aura made everyone feel powerless.
“Not really.” Jiang Hao shook his head.
He just wanted to mine. There was no secret.
Others only half-believed him.
In the end, they could only let Jiang Hao go into the cave to mine, but many people observed him.
A day passed.
“Is everything okay?” Xiao Xiaohui asked in concern.
“At the moment, there’s no problem, but…” Zheng Shijiu was puzzled.
“But what?” Yue You curiously asked.
“Jiang Junior Brother seems unusually focused on it,” Zheng Shijiu said.
Much more focused than an ordinary person would be.
“Could it be that your Junior Brother is trying to find something good in the mine?” the bald Golden Core Realm cultivator asked.
Others thought this was the most likely possibility.
Two days passed, and they still didn’t see anything strange happen.
Five days passed, and everyone was now getting used to it.
There was just one question that puzzled everyone. Why wasn’t the manager taking a break?
If the manager didn’t rest, they didn’t dare to stop either.
For a while, everyone felt bitter.
In fact, Jiang Hao was also helpless. He found that mining here was far less comfortable than mining in the Corpse Realm.
The bubbles were not like the ores. He felt uneasy because he was in charge here, and every move he made would inadvertently lead to opinions from others.
They would look at him and judge him.
It was more convenient to be an ordinary disciple than a leader.
He sighed and took a break so that the others could rest too.
In five days, he had obtained two blue bubbles.
It was not as efficient as wiping the wall, but the progress was good.
He observed the situation in the sea fog. No one had approached him without permission.
He anticipated conflicts. Then, he remembered the matter of the Imperial City.
He asked Zheng Shijiu to help him inquire and see when the Imperial City’s marriage alliance ceremony would start.
Most people had heard about this, and Zheng Shijiu quickly got the answer after going out for a while.
It would start at the beginning of July. A little over a month was left for that.
“It seems that the changes are about to begin.”
He needed to prepare for it. There would probably be some waves in the sea fog
cave.
The gathering was about to start.
Senior Dan Yuan seemed to be paying a lot of attention to this matter, and they would surely exchange information before it started.
At the White Moon Lake, Zuo Cheng stood by the side.
“Tell me what you saw when you entered the Sea Fog Cave,” Baizhi asked softly.
She had been investigating the matter these past few days.
Only after roughly understanding everything would she proceed with her plan.
“I saw Junior Brother Jiang standing in front of the wall and looking at the contents on it. He seemed to… understand them,” said Zuo Cheng. “I asked
Junior Brother Jiang, and it seems he has learned about some other languages.” “What else?” Baizhi asked.
“Then, he made a strange move,” said Zuo Cheng. “After watching for a while, he suddenly turned his head and seemed to feel…l something. But I watched carefully, and there was nothing around him. After that, he was suppressed by the light from the wall.”
Baizhi lowered her head in thought. Zuo Cheng’s answer was exactly the same as Jiang Hao’s.
There was indeed a figure there at the beginning.
This was the second time Jiang Hao had seen this figure. As for what this figure represented, she could only speculate, but she could be sure that this figure prevented Jiang Hao from being affected by the wall. “What is Jiang Hao doing now?” Baizhi asked.
“He’s mining,” Zuo Cheng said.
Baizhi remained silent for a moment. “Has anyone tried to enter that area?”
“Three. One of them is extremely powerful and has been sent to the higher levels of the Lawless Tower,” Zuo Cheng said nervously.
After the light appeared, the people of the Lawless Tower gathered and collaborated with the Law Enforcement Hall and hid in the Sea Fog Cave.
They were lying in wait.
They knew that some people would always intervene in matters like these.
That was why they had instructed Jiang Hao and his group not to leave the mining area.
“Have you asked about it?”
“We did… briefly. It might be related to the Saint Bandits, but we don’t have much information about them.”
After asking for some more details, Baizhi asked Zuo Cheng to leave.
After that, she looked toward the highest peak in the sect.
She needed to go up there.
At the Imperial City, Bi Zhu sighed with her chin on her hands. “It’s been so long. Why hasn’t General Lin come yet?”
Given the opportunity, he turned out to be useless too.
“Maybe he thinks you aren’t suitable, so he found someone else.” Auntie Qiao helped pour a cup of tea.
“Why am I not suitable? I’m older in age and have a shorter lifespan. If he marries me and then wants to change his mind, he won’t have to wait long. The young princesses would seek to live together for hundreds of years!” Bi Zhu drank her tea.
“Maybe… it’s because of your age, ” said Aunt Qiao somewhat helplessly. “Princess, don’t worry. It won’t be long before he comes again. The grand event is about to start, and he, the Shangguan family’s heir, won’t find a suitable candidate. After all, to enter the ancestral land and receive the blessing of the earth, you need a member of the royal family to be with you.”
“Have some of my sisters visited recently?” Bi Zhu suddenly asked. “Yes… they all came to ask how old you were now.” Aunt Qiao nodded.
“Did you tell them?”
“I did, but I deliberately made you appear younger.”
“Did you say I’m fifteen years old?” “Three hundred and fifteen years old.”
Bi Zhu was speechless.
“Oh right… Prince Bi You visited and mentioned that in a couple of days, he will take you to meet Prince Bi Chen.”
“I have to go see my eldest brother?”
