Liu Yu nodded lightly, and then found that only Sun Ju arrived on time. The time was already up. He frowned slightly and said:
"Where are Senior Brother Su and several other Junior Brothers? Haven't they arrived yet?"
Sun Ju shook her head and said she didn't see many people coming.
Thinking of the maid arranged by Chai Wenzheng last night, Liu Yuxin was like a mirror. She understood why the few people hadn't arrived yet, but it was difficult to tell Sun Juming.
It's normal for people to have sex with each other, and it's not good for him to interfere in other people's private lives. But today is the day when the task is handed over, and a few people are neglecting their official duties for personal reasons, which makes him a little angry.
"Junior Sister Sun, you did a good job of arriving on time according to the time. Since several of my classmates haven't arrived yet, I'd like to trouble you to go over and call them one by one."
Liu Yu's face darkened slightly, and her voice had a hint of chill.
"Yes, senior brother!"
Although Sun Ju was not very willing to go, looking at Liu Yu's face, she didn't want to cause him any displeasure. After all, this senior brother was very powerful and had sophisticated magic weapons. He would stay under him for five years. It would be bad if he offended senior brother Liu.
.
At that moment, Sun Ju followed Liu Yu's instructions and called several people one by one.
A quarter of an hour later.
Wu Chang, Zhou Guibo, and Xie Huaxiong stood in the hall with their heads lowered. Liu Yu looked at the people with a cold face. Sun Ju sat on a chair on one side and looked down at her arms. It seemed that there was something attractive on her arms, and she turned a blind eye to the scene in front of her.
.
"Originally, this was your private matter and Liu didn't want to take care of it, but when you delayed the mission due to personal matters, Liu was forced to take care of it because of private matters."
"Liu is the person in charge of this mission. I don't want the same thing to happen again. If anyone commits another crime in the next five years, he will be reported to the sect for severe punishment, or he will be sent back to the sect to participate in the war!"
"As long as you perform the task well, Liu doesn't care how you have fun in the future, but you must complete the task for me and don't make any mistakes. Okay, sit down!"
Liu Yu spoke slowly and slowly. He glanced around and no one dared to raise his head to look at him. With his superb cultivation and good reason, he took this opportunity to hit a few people to establish his prestige.
Zhou Guibo, Wu Chang, and Xie Huaxiong did not dare to refute. After hearing this, they immediately nodded in agreement and found a chair to sit down.
A large sect like the Yuanyang Sect that has been passed down for a long time attaches great importance to etiquette and respect. Liu Yu's status is already a few ranks higher than others. Coupled with the gap in strength, several people are wronged first. Although they are unhappy, they can only act honestly.
Accept the admonishment and don't dare to talk back.
After a few people sat down, Su Ding walked in not long after, cupped his hands and said loudly:
"I'm really ashamed that I kept Junior Brother Liu waiting for so long."
His eyes were slightly dark, his skin was pale and he looked like he had experienced a lot of weather. He was excluded from the Cold Moon City because of his lack of qualifications. After the war in the Lingshi Mine began, he had to return to his sect to participate in the war. He knew that there was little hope of survival, and he was already frustrated.
I gave up on cultivation and started to enjoy myself in time.
"Don't worry about it, it's just a little time. It's no longer a matter of delay. Since Senior Brother Su has arrived, I'll set off right away!"
They are both inner disciples and have the same status. Liu Yu doesn't have much to say. After today, they may never see each other again. As long as he doesn't leave any hidden pits for him during the mission, his tolerance for him is still the same.
The higher-level ones just urged to complete the handover quickly.
"Okay, since junior brother is concerned about the sect's affairs, let's leave now."
Seeing that the junior disciples didn't want to chat, Su Ding didn't want to make trouble for himself, so he walked out the door after speaking.
Liu Yu turned around and winked at a few people to tell them to act accordingly, then led the four of them out of the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
A group of six people came outside the hall, each took out their magic weapons and flew towards the east and north direction of Hanyue City.
The Hantie Mine is about a hundred miles away from Hanyue City. It only took Liu Yu and the others a little more than half an hour to get here. If it weren't for the fact that the four of them, Wu Chang, had lower cultivation levels and were a bit slower, they would only be here.
Half an hour is enough.
Liu Yu and the others used their magic weapons to stop above the cold iron veins and looked down.
The cold iron produced by the cold iron veins is only a material for refining low-grade magic weapons, and the profit is not very high. Of course, it is impossible to use monks to mine it. All the people who mine it are mortals.
Although the mining speed of mortals is slow, as long as the number of people uses their lives to fill it, the monthly output is still considerable.
It was just noon at this time, and many miners on the flat ground below were handing over the ore they dug to receive food.
Most of these mortals were in rags, their clothes were as tattered as a few tattered strips of cloth wrapped around their bodies, their hair was unkempt and their bodies were filthy with black dirt, and they were no different from beggars.
Some people were skinny, but they couldn't dig enough ore and were beaten with blood by the supervisors with whips. They screamed and had very little food. There were also people who were strong and muscular and easily dug enough ore and received the full amount.
He looked at the former with disdain and strode aside to enjoy it; the overseer smiled wildly and glanced at every miner in line, waiting for the lucky one who didn't hand over enough ore to whip him, and listened to their misery.
Call.
According to what Hanyue City said to the outside world, these people who were demoted as miners were all criminals with heinous crimes, and everyone was not a good person. But of course Liu Yu knew the real situation, but as long as Chai Wenzheng provided enough miners every month, the mines would
As long as he has enough cold iron ore, he doesn't care about these things.
This world is so cruel. I can easily decide the fate of mortals, and high-level monks can easily control my life and death.
After all, Liu Yu spoke out in a peaceful world in his previous life. Seeing the scene below, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes. He knew that this situation could not be changed by a small Qi-refining monk. What does the life and death of these mortals have to do with him? If every month
If you cannot hand over enough cold iron ore, you will be punished by the sect.
Recalling the records in the Essentials of Demonic Cultivation and what he had seen and heard over the years, the ripples in his heart quickly disappeared, and the dark pupils under Liu Yu's eyelashes quickly returned to calm, looking at everything indifferently.
Su Ding, Wu Chang and others showed no signs of change. They had long been accustomed to the condescension of immortal cultivators and regarded the lives of mortals as nothing. Only Sun Ju had a hint of unbearability in her eyes. She opened her mouth but finally did not speak.
Liu Yu and the others fell from the sky and dropped the light-escaped magic weapon in front of a wooden house outside the mine.
Many people in the mine saw the immortal master who suddenly arrived, and there were several of them, which immediately caused a commotion.
After the overseer used his whip to quell the commotion, an old man with a mustache came forward. His attire was different from that of the surrounding overseers and guards, and he seemed to be in charge.
The old man with a mustache came up and paid homage with a flattering smile on his face. He obviously knew Su Ding's identity and said respectfully to Su Ding:
"See the Immortal Master Su. What does the Immortal Master have to say? Just give the order and I will go and do it right away!"
Su Ding chuckled, turned sideways to Liu Yu and the others, and said:
"Okay, get up. My mission has expired and I will leave Hanyue City and return to the sect soon. These are my fellow disciples who are responsible for replacing me in the mine. Go down and inform the junior brothers in the mine to come over immediately."
The old man with a mustache stood up after hearing this, bending slightly and not daring to stand up straight, he smiled flatteringly at Liu Yu and the others:
"As ordered, I will immediately go and inform the Immortal Master inside, Xiao Lin Dayong, if any of the Immortal Masters have any instructions, I will do my best to handle it!"
After Lin Dayong finished speaking, he slowly retreated and took a few big men to inform the four outer disciples who had been stationed here.
