Today is the first time that Qiao Lian'er has called Dansuo to Uncle Yin's place to have him translate.

Because she could understand the adjutant's words, but the adjutant did not understand the Chinese language, she sometimes needed someone to act as a bridge to convey certain meanings.

She had hesitated about whether to involve Dante, but here, Dante was the person she trusted most, and he was also the one who could absolutely keep a secret.

They walked a long way, but Suo didn't say a word.

He had too many questions in his mind, but he didn't know where to begin or whether he should ask them at all.

He now realized that he knew far too little about the Water Maiden. Her strength was unfathomable, and the mysterious aura surrounding her was like something out of the heavens, something he could only look up to.

But he believed that Shui was genuinely good to him, and that was enough. Moreover, she had invited him to Uncle Yin's stilted house out of trust.

But a belief arose in Solo's heart: no matter how terrifying the Water Maiden was, no matter what she did, he would simply follow her.

Under the dim moonlight, Qiao Lian'er stopped.

"Don't you have anything you want to ask?"

If Danso asks, she will answer some of the questions, but of course, she will keep the most crucial secret to herself.

It was because of Uncle's death.

"No." Dansuo straightened his body, his gaze firm: "I will do whatever Miss Shui asks me to do, without asking a single question."

"I believe that all of Shui-nü's decisions were correct."

This young boy has such awareness; he's suitable to work alongside her.

Qiao Lian'er was very satisfied with this answer. She said, "You just need to know that all of Uncle Yin's mining areas are currently under my control."

Having received a definite answer, Danso opened his eyes wide and almost asked, "What about Uncle In?"

But then I thought about it again. What kind of person is Uncle Yin? Cruel, bloodthirsty, and blinded by greed. He certainly wouldn't obediently listen to Miss Shui. He must be controlled by her, or something else entirely—

But Sue felt a surge of excitement. No matter what happened to Uncle Yin, he would no longer be able to cause trouble, which was exactly the situation he had always wanted to see.

No wonder things have been calm lately.

But Suo's eyes were filled with admiration and motivation; working with the Water Girl was such a promising future.

Moreover, with Shui-guniang's strength, she was even able to bring down Uncle Yin. With her making arrangements for Xida, what else could Xida possibly worry about in his life?

He gave a deep, resounding "hmm," his heart filled with hope for the future; he truly felt the power of belief.

In the days that followed, more and more caravans came to trade in Qiaolian'er's mining area. Although she maintained the original cooperative relationship with Uncle Yin's mining areas, she was also attracting those powerful caravans to her own mining area.

Although she effectively controls Uncle Yin's mining area, it lacks permits, and his family is intricately intertwined, with two sons and two daughters controlling mining areas in other regions. They are both powerful and intelligent, which is something she must be wary of.

After Qiao Lian'er finished appraising a batch of stones, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned around to see Adjutant Ya'ang standing behind her.

"What's up?"

Ya'ang can now understand some Chinese. He said, "Uncle Yin's eldest son, Sangkun, is coming to see Uncle Yin. He's already on his way."

But the shuttle came running over.

Qiao Lian'er asked, "How often did you come before?"
