Insanely Pampered Wife: Divine Doctor Fifth Young Miss

"What commotion?" Sima You Yue pretended as if she didn't know.

"Do you not know about it?" Old Man Li asked puzzledly.

Sima You Yue shook her head, "We couldn't find the place, so we left after heading a little deeper. I sensed that chill you told me about so we returned. In order to avoid running into those people, we had to walk via a more deserted place."

"It's lucky that that's the case. Otherwise, you might have been discovered." Old Man Li said.

"Just what is going on?"

"I don't know what happened there either. However, there have been many people rushing in there over the past two days. Although they did not wear soldier uniforms, they should belong to the commander." Old Man Li said, "There were suddenly so many people, so I thought of asking, did something happen over there?"

Of course Sima You Yue knew what happened over there. They probably found out that Envoy You had died, so they sent men to investigate.

"I see. Since there are so many people, we will have to hurry."

"Alright."

Although she really wanted to stay behind and see their reactions when they found out that there was nothing left in the mines, in order to avoid getting involved in this entire situation, they could not appear here. Even her scarlet bees could not be left behind.

The three of them dispersed stealthily and did not encounter the people who kept on coming in. It was a good thing that Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu had particularly strong divine senses and were able to hide before they were discovered.

However, it was because of this that she felt like her initial guess was wrong. If it was really just because Envoy You had died, it shouldn't have caused such a huge commotion. It was normal for people to die on this mountain. He would not comb through the entire mountain to seek revenge because he died. Would that just end up sending more people to death along with him?

That was why these people had definitely entered because they had discovered that something was wrong with this mountain. Perhaps, they had already discovered that they were able to enter it, which was why they notified those above to send this number of people down.

Old Man Li looked at those people rushing over with puzzlement, "Why do these people look so anxious and excited? It couldn't be that the situation over at the mine has already been dealt with, right? Or could it be that they have already figured out a way to enter?"

"Who knows?" Sima You Yue shrugged and pretended as if she really didn't know, "Even if that really is the case, it has nothing to do with us. It's not like we can participate in this."

The excitement on Old Man Li's face immediately disappeared. It seemed like he had been defeated by her words.

"You're right. This really has nothing to do with us. We're unable to go back and snatch it from them now. To lone cultivators like us, it's incredibly difficult to encounter such a good opportunity. It's a pity that it's been stolen by the Commander." He sighed deeply.

Sima You Yue smiled, as if she was agreeing with him. Actually, she was laughing about what she had done.

Those people were running over so excitedly, but once they found out that it was just an empty mountain,she wondered how brilliant their expressions would be.

"Let's continue one. We still have a few days before we'll reach Great Bridge City!"

Just as Sima You Yue had guessed, those people who recently rushed over were those who had just obtained the news.

"Envoy Zuo." The soldier who was standing guard bowed to the man in front.

"How are things going here?" Envoy Zuo asked.

"The chill started to lessen here two days ago, so we hurriedly reported the news." The guard said.

"What about Envoy You?"

"Envoy You left ten days ago with Great Master Liu. He has yet to emerge." The guard replied.

Those who were with Envoy Zuo guessed, "Envoy Zuo, could it be that Envoy You and Great Master Liu managed to solve the situation here together?"

"It is possible." Envoy Zuo said, "However, they have not sent back any news yet. We do not know the situation for now."

"Since the situation here accompanied the chill, now that the chill has dissipated, it proves that the situation has also stabilised."

"Envoy Zuo, since Envoy Han has said this, why don't we let Envoy Han go in to check out the situation before continuing?" Someone suggested.

This person, Envoy Han, ordinarily didn't have much of a relationship with the others. Since someone suggested this, the others agreed successively.

Envoy Zuo naturally knew what they were thinking, but it was not outside of his line of duty, so he was not able to reprimand them for it either.

"Envoy Han, I will have to trouble you to take this one." He instructed Envoy Han as he ignored the constipated look on his face.

"Envoy Han, Envoy Zuo has already spoken, so you should hurry up. We'll wait here for you to return." The one who first suggested this spoke up again.

Envoy Han's expression was extremely dark, but he dared not disobey Envoy Zuo. He could only toughen his heart and lead his subordinates inside.

He hoped that his earlier guess was right, and that the mountain valley was now safe.

When they saw Envoy Han enter, those on the outside smiled. This guy wasn't strong, and only knew how to kiss ass all day. This would be a good lesson for him. If he was able to survive, then that would just be his good luck. If he was unable to return, then it would fulfil everyone's wishes.

Actually, everyone honestly wished that the second outcome would happen.

However, the outcome disappointed everyone greatly. Once two days passed, he came back without any man missing.

"How is the situation inside?" Envoy Zuo asked.

"In response to Envoy Zuo, we walked all the way to the top of the mine, but nothing out of the ordinary occurred." Envoy Han replied, "I think that the danger inside has already been dealt with."

"Then, did you meet Envoy You or anyone else?"

"No. There was not a single person inside."

"That is strange. Could it be that they have already gone inside the mountain?"

"Earlier on, the seeker spirit master guessed that that force was making mischief. If his guess was right, then it is very likely that Great master Liu managed to excavate the area. It also explains why this place is safe now."

Envoy You felt like his guess was logical, "Since the place is already safe, then send my orders that we will enter the mountain now."

"Yes, Envoy Zuo!" Everyone there was excited. It was such a huge mine, which meant that there would definitely be many ores. Those of a higher position would definitely receive a share of it. That was why every single person was in a good mood and couldn't wait to charge into the mine. At the same time, they were imagining just how much treasure they would be able to find.

However, while they were all full of smiles, the moment they saw the empty shell of a mountain, they were crestfallen. Everyone was filled with disbelief. They rubbed their eyes with all their might, but there was absolutely nothing left on the mountain.

"What- what is going on?" Envoy Zuo's voice trembled, "Why is there nothing in this mountain?"

"Envoy Zuo, it's not that there's no mountain, but that the mine in this mountain is empty." It was unknown whose small voice pointed it out, but the atmosphere at the foot of the mountain immediately intensified.

"Hurry, hurry and report this to Commander!" Envoy Zuo came back to his senses and cried out anxiously.
