When he first stepped on the grass, Shen Wei could immediately feel the cold air have started to come, it was quite comfortable and the vast beautiful land untainted by human beings made one heart feel the wonder of nature in it.
They slowly walked down the path and got closer to where the site of the mines was. The tent is located far away from the construction site, very massive and elegant, whoever saw it first could know that whoever the owner is, is a really rich person and holds a powerful position. Before they arrived Shen Wei asked the man a question,
"I think your master knows the problem happening in this place, may I ask what is so important here that he is willing to risk it? Does he plan to continue this work?"
"Who wants to abandon fat resources like this? My master thought that the things happening here, some part of it was because of the lack of the equipment and resources, it is not a bad idea to give it a try", Shen Wei now could vaguely understand the line of thought of this master of his, even though he knows the danger behind it, he still dares to try,
'This person might be ambitious but also very careful, seems like this person has a lot of experience in life'
The butler politely guided them and waited for them outside, Lu Yu Xiao was hesitant a little before getting in, other people might not see it but Shen Wei clearly saw that Lu Yu Xiao felt uncomfortable but he didn't show it and quickly got inside.
Shen Wei also followed silently and when he got inside he could immediately smell a strong incense woody smell, whoever was inside certainly liked the aesthetic smell of nature, but for Shen Wei this smell was a little too much for him, making his nose kind of numb and he unconsciously rub his nose out of discomfort.
Lu Yu Xiao seems to notice it and just swept a glance at him and gives him a handkerchief, Shen Wei shakes his head slowly and whispers,
"Don't be so notable in other people's place", Lu Yu Xiao froze on his spot, feeling scolded like a child, and quietly put his handkerchief back into his inner pocket
This place could be said to be luxurious and big, the moment they get in they are great with a place that is for waiting, and after walking past a curtain they see a man in his sixties sitting at the innermost of the tent, he is looking at some document in his hands and when he saw a shadow approaching he put down the paper and look up,
"It has been a long time since I last saw you, you have grown, but I wish you just didn't grow on your body?", his words are sharp, perhaps he has heard some of his mischiefs and decided to mention it while he can and told him not to be reckless and used that brain of his to work. Lu Yu Xiao just stays silent but they can sense that his gaze has turned sharp and will explode at any second.
Shen Wei standing on the side feels like this old man is not that simple, perhaps him calling them here is for something that can't be told to others, or perhaps he just wanted to warn us and kick us out of this. He grabbed Lu Yu Xiao's hands to hold him back,
"You as someone older than us must have seen more worlds compared to us, why don't you be generous and not be so mean to us juniors", his voice was calm and steady, it didn't give off a vibe of disrespect or rude, the old man turns to look at him with amusement on his face,
"Your friend is much wiser compared to you", he half laughed and then he stopped, seeming to turn into a serious matter now,
"Since you are here, you must have heard what has been happening here", Lu Yu Xiao didn't nod and just looked at him with an uninterested expression, the old man didn't say anything and just looked at him like a child who throws a tantrum and continued
