Let me know if you hav...The next day, as dawn broke, Jiang Wang had just finished his morning prayers when Zhuanzi came over to greet him.

It is said that the young master of the mine has returned and wants to summon all the esteemed cultivators who have diligently guarded the mine.

From Zhuan's eyes, Jiang Wang saw the extreme anxiety and fear he was desperately trying to hide.

He knew Hu Shaomeng was coming back last night, but he didn't expect him to be back so soon.

And from this posture, it seems like they didn't even go back to the family and went straight to the mine district.

Okay, I understand.

Jiang Wang didn't say much, letting the early maid Xia Xiao sweep the courtyard, and he went to where the miners were discussing matters.

The four extraordinary cultivators of the Hu family mine are: the uncle monk who is indifferent to life and love, Zhang Hai, who is obsessed with alchemy, Ge Heng, who has a narrow personality, and Jiang Wang.

Along with Hu Guan, he constituted the so-called high-level officials of the mining area.

Hu You was obese, more like a wealthy merchant than an official.

His son, Hu Shaomeng, is handsome and tall.

He, a large and imposing man, sat firmly in the main seat. Hu Guan, who usually boasted of being the uncle of Hu Shao Meng's lineage, stood respectfully beside him.

From Hu Shaomeng's posture and demeanor, he should be a rather conceited person.

Jiang Wang and others came in one after another, but he remained silent.

After waiting until all four extraordinary cultivators had arrived, he slowly said: "Fellow cultivators, you have worked hard in my Hu family's mine for so long. While I was at the Fishing Sea Tower, busy with cultivation, I couldn't come and see you often. It was truly rude of me."

He spoke disrespectfully, yet he paid no heed to anyone else.

But even Old Man Ge, with his narrow mind, wouldn't dare to make a fuss.

Because the Dilong Pavilion is the most powerful sect on the nearby islands. If one had to calculate the influence of sects near Qi Country, it would probably be comparable to that of Dongwanggu.

"Oh, it's nothing..."

Ge Heng was halfway through his polite words when Hu Shaomeng waved him off.

“Today, I’ve called everyone here because there’s an announcement to make,” Hu Shaomeng said calmly. “You all know about the depleted ore vein situation. The mine will be closing at the end of this month. We wanted to give you all a heads-up and ask that you find other employment.”

Jiang Wang was stunned.

What does it mean I just got in here, and I was fired already

Hu Guan was also full of surprise, obviously unaware of the matter beforehand.

The unshaven man yawned and said, "Fine, whatever. It doesn't really matter where I go anyway. Ah, that's just life."

Ge Heng glared at him fiercely, then turned to look at Hu Shaomeng, saying with confusion, “Isn’t there still half a year Why is it suddenly going to be closed”

"Yeah." Zhang Hai also said, "My furnace is at a critical point right now."

"That's decided then." Hu Shaomeng lazily said, waving his hand as if to dismiss them. "Go pack your things back home. You can leave now or at the end of the month. I have to go push open the Heavenly Gate soon, no time to chat with you all!"

Push open the heavens' gate...

Ge Heng tightly closed his mouth.

“Young Master Hu,” Jiang Wang said, “I just arrived at the mine a few days ago. When Manager Hu was recruiting people, he didn’t say it like this.”

“Payment is made on a monthly basis.” Hu Shaomeng looked at him, his aura of the Heavenly Ascension Realm deliberately or unintentionally revealed: “Well, do you still have any objections”

Ginger thought for a moment, then said, "Then there's nothing."

It wasn't that he gave up, but Hu Shaomeng's eagerness actually calmed him down.

Something must have happened.

He could have left first and come back after things changed, to see what was going on and then act accordingly.

Though Di Hai Lou is certainly strong, at the Tong Tian realm level, Jiang Wang is not truly afraid of anyone right now.

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Hu Shaomeng waved his hand: "Alright, you guys go settle the payment with the manager, I'm not going to stick around."

Only these extraordinary cultivators need him to personally appease and resolve. As for the rest of the ordinary martial artists and miners, just shut them down directly, no need to give advance notice.

Mr. Hu seemed to wilt all at once, still unable to believe that the mine would be finished at the end of the month. However, he absolutely dared not disobey Mr. Hu Shao-meng's wishes, so he had to force himself to cheer up and lead everyone away.

Because Jiang Wang was new, his accounts were the clearest, so Hu Guan made him enter the accounting room first.

Hu Guanshi handed over a box: "A'an, take a look, if there's no problem, just press your handprint."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Jiang Wang casually took it and glanced at it, smiling softly: "You gave me half a one extra."

There were two hundred-dollar stones in the box, both full and unused. Their originally agreed upon reward was half a stone per month.

“Didn't we Because we couldn't find anyone, remember what we said back then, two a month”

Hu Guan said, and winked at Jiang Wang.

At least there was a hint of life in his pale face.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but say, "Why take such good care of me"

“This young man!” Hu Guan sighed with a blush, “Take it if you’re given it.”

Jiang Wang had no choice but to put the box away. Regardless, it was this old man's kindness.

As he turned to leave, Hu Guan came over and said in a low, dejected voice: "Of all these extraordinary masters, only you truly treat us as people."

Half a Dao Yuan Stone was the largest amount of support within his capabilities.

> Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment.

He walked out of the accounting room, and Zhang Hai who was waiting outside was about to go in.

Suddenly, a shout came from afar.

He stumbled this way, panting and shouting: "Dead! Dead!"

Deaths in the mining area are usually related to ferocious beasts.

Everyone became alert.

"Slow down," Hu Shaomeng said, his voice a low command.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As soon as he heard Hu Shaomeng's voice, Chuanzi immediately shivered, calmed his breath, and tried his best to speak calmly: "Xiaocui, Xiaocui jumped into the well!"

Who is Xiao Cui Jiang looked around, finding that everyone else was looking at Ge Heng.

And Ge Heng's face suddenly changed.

Xiao Cui was just a maid in his courtyard.

Hu Shaomeng got up: "Let's go take a look."

The courtyard of four extraordinary cultivators were independent residences, scattered within the mining district.

The communal quarters where the miners lived were vastly different from the spacious, well-lit rooms of the managers.

Among them, Ge Heng's and Zhang Hai's courtyards were close to each other, and Jiang Wang's was close to Xiang Qian's, so Jiang Wang always encountered the wandering, decadent old man.

When everyone arrived, Ge Heng's courtyard was already surrounded by a group of miners.

“Young Master Hu! Young Master Hu, you must make a decision for this young woman!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Poor Xiao Cui, how unfortunate she is! Young Master Hu!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The matter was actually quite simple. Due to Ge Heng's prolonged torment, the maid named Xiao Cui finally couldn't bear it anymore. After Ge Heng left, she jumped into a well and committed suicide.

From their words, a rough outline of Xiao Cui emerged.

Including the wounds on her body, she would suddenly burst into tears. She ran away several times but was always brought back...

The miners chatted amongst themselves, but none dared to speak Ge Heng's name directly.

Even his gaze I didn't dare meet.

The might of the extraordinary cultivators had long been deeply ingrained in their hearts.

Facing the evil deeds of a transcendent cultivator, they could only hope for the intervention of another transcendent cultivator.

Ge Heng's face was grim. He swept his gaze over the miners, stopping each one with a look that silenced their annoying chatter.

But besides Hu Shaomeng, there were four other extraordinary cultivators present.

He didn't know how these people would react.

Even beating and bullying maidservants isn't a big deal, these things are easily smoothed over. Even the government wouldn't give transcendent cultivators too hard of a time.

Here is the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

But just the death of a person. Even if it's just an ordinary person, that's not a small matter.

Because any extraordinary cultivator originated from an ordinary person.

>

Through the tireless efforts of countless enlightened individuals, the sanctity of human life has become a universally recognized principle in any civilized nation or organization.

But.

There is one however.

This consensus cannot be completely solidified into rules.

Just like powerful mortals, they also dare to kill slaves at will.

Although such acts are crimes, they are often only punished when those in power bring charges.

This is the truth of the world today.

It's 2:17 AM now, and this chapter was supposed to be updated on time, but it didn't happen. The whole province of Hubei is under lockdown, and I'm completely mentally drained. But as I toss and turn until now, I suddenly thought, what if, what if something really unexpected happens to me What can I leave behind

I hope my work will leave a mark.

I will spend time with my family well and write novels well.)n the courtyard, perhaps lost in thought, or simply gazing at the moon. Suddenly, a hazy light drifted down from the moon.He grasped the ball of light and then entered the Illusory Realm of Emptiness....
