Chapter 212 Going up the mountain

Feng Ting then calmed down a little and looked at the servant.

"I spent a lot of effort to find out from the Dugu family that the woman is going out with Dugu Xin tomorrow, but they don't know where they are going." said the servant.

A fierce light flashed in Feng Ting's eyes, "Really?"

"It's absolutely true. If it's false, my head would be chopped off." said the servant.

Feng Ting stood there, thinking for a moment, "Let someone follow that woman, and kill her if there's a chance!"

The servant was shocked, but he didn't dare to resist Feng Ting. He nodded and said, "I understand."

…

Lin Xi helped Dugu Xin get the warm jade in the identity of Madam Linglong, and Dugu Xin naturally gave Lin Xi the two hills outside the city as agreed.

Later, Lin Xi realized that for the Dugu family, these two mountains were not a big deal.

In the entire Yongcheng, no one is richer than the Dugu family, but they deliberately keep a low profile.

Dugu Xin handed the deed to Lin Xi and said, "Madam Linglong, the carriage for tomorrow has been arranged. Let's go and see the two mountains together. By the way, I will tell you the location of the mineral deposit."

Lin Xi nodded, "Thank you, Master Dugu."

"It's no trouble, no trouble. You helped me find Nuan Yu, so you are the great benefactor of my Dugu family. If you need anything in the future, just let me know." Dugu Xin was full of gratitude.

When he first found Madam Linglong, he himself was unsure and could only try his luck. However, he did not expect that Madam Linglong was so capable and actually found Nuanyu for him.

"I have a question I want to ask Madam." Dugu Xin said.

"What's the problem?"

"Madam has an extremely accurate vision, but it seems that she rarely appears at auctions." Dugu Xin asked. He dared to say that if other people had the same ability as Lin Xi, they would probably want to steal the spotlight and make a fortune.

"Master Dugu, the moon waxes and wanes. If I become too popular, I'm afraid I won't have peace." Lin Xi said.

Of course she knew that with the support of the system, there was nothing she couldn't do, but she also knew that once her reputation got out, she would face endless troubles.

Such a miraculous ability is completely challenging the bottom line.

Dugu Xin was stunned for a while before he said, "Madam is indeed smart. I was rude."

"Mr. Dugu, please keep this matter confidential and do not publicize it to anyone." Lin Xi said.

Madam Linglong could become famous in other ways, but not in this charlatan-like way.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I understand this." Dugu Xin said.

The next day, they set out early in the morning to check out the mountain.

As soon as the carriage drove out of the city gate, two people followed quietly from behind, but the people in the carriage were unaware of it.

This time when going out, Feng Miao followed Lin Xi closely.

About an hour later, the group finally arrived at their destination.

Lin Xi got off the carriage and unconsciously touched the bracelet on her hand. This was her detector, which had not been used for a long time.

She didn't want to waste this opportunity.

Climbing the mountain was not an easy task for Lin Xi. It took another half an hour before they finally arrived at the mine.

Dugu Xin called the person in charge of the mine over and said, "This lady will be the person in charge of your mine from now on. If you have any questions, just tell her."

The person in charge nodded and quickly greeted Lin Xi.

Lin Xi turned her bracelet and said, "System, help me turn on the detector."

[Received the host's request and is enabling the detection function for the host. 】

[The detection results have been marked, please pay attention. 】

In the blink of an eye, some light spots of different sizes appeared in front of Lin Xi's eyes. Wherever there were light spots, there was a kind of mineral.

What she didn't expect was that there was a coal mine in this place. She thought there would be nothing else, but the system detected a lot of things.

Feng Miao saw that Lin Xi had been in a daze and didn't say anything, so he reminded her, "Madam."

Lin Xi came back to his senses, "Besides the coal mine, do you have anything else here?"

The person in charge said, “No more.”

Dugu Xin said, "Madam, don't worry. The people in this place are all the elders of my Dugu family, and not many people know about it. In addition to the coal mine, there are other things that can be developed slowly."

Lin Xi nodded, "I know, but I still need to learn more about the specific environment. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go around."

"We should send someone to follow him. It's easy to get lost in the mountains." The person in charge was a little worried.

Lin Xi waved her hand to indicate that it was not necessary. "My maid grew up in the mountains and has never been lost. Don't worry."

After saying that, the two of them went out alone.

After walking about 200 meters, Lin Xi estimated that these people should not be able to hear them, so he said to Feng Miao, "Do you have any way to make a mark?"

Feng Miao nodded, "Madam, please speak."

Lin Xi pointed to the area under his feet and said, "There is a cave due east of this place. It's a bit far away and the road is not easy to walk on, but there should be crystals inside. Mark it."

Feng Miao had been trained since childhood, and knew one thing best: don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask. He nodded immediately and said, “I understand.”

Lin Xi led Feng Miao forward for a while, "Mark this place and find someone to dig down later. There might be something good there."

As for what it was, Lin Xi didn't explain it clearly.

At present, she still has some doubts. These minerals should not appear in this kind of landform, but she doesn't know why they appear together.

The system's markings shouldn't be wrong, but she just felt it was strange.

The two walked deep into the forest. Seeing that there seemed to be no road ahead, Lin Xi said, "Let's go back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Miao immediately became alert, "Young Madam, don't move, there are enemies around."

Lin Xi was stunned. It was a remote place surrounded by trees. Where did the enemy come from?

But Feng Miao's expression was extremely serious, and Lin Xi knew that Feng Miao would never joke about such a thing.

"Then what should I do?" Lin Xi asked quickly.

"Young Madam, don't worry. I can take care of it." Feng Miao said.

Lin Xi took out a dagger from her arms. This was the one Xiao Yongyan gave her for self-defense before she came out.

In the blink of an eye, Feng Miao's figure was like a nimble swallow, shuttling through the woods.

Not far away, two men in black appeared and started fighting with Feng Miao.

It was the first time that Lin Xi encountered such a situation. His heart was pounding and he clenched the small dagger in his hand.

If she died in a place like this, it would be a huge loss for her. She should have asked the people from the mine to follow her.

Feng Miao was fighting with two people. Lin Xi didn't understand what was happening and could only watch from afar and pray for Feng Miao to be safe.

However, it turned out that Feng Miao's ability was higher than Lin Xi had expected.

Not long after, the two men in black fell straight down in Feng Miao's hands, obviously dead.

There was no trace of blood on Feng Miao's body. He simply pushed the two bodies down the valley and cut down a tree to hide the bodies.
