Chapter Twenty: Injured! Can't Find Uncle

The broken and bruised corner of his mouth oozed crimson blood. His wrinkled black clothes seemed to be soaked in water, and fresh blood continuously dripped down, forming a pool of glaring red on the...His gaze fell on the shovel resting on the girl's shoulder. Ye Fei Bai's expression faltered slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do with a shovel"

"I'm going to mine jade."

Mu Xing finished speaking and turned to run. Uze Shan was still far away, so he had to make haste.

Ye Fei's purpose in coming here was to get close to Mu Xing. Since he hadn't achieved his goal yet, there was no way he would give up now.

He quickly started the supercar, gunning it and chasing after her, "Where to I'll take you."

"No need, thank you."

The memory of being sold still lingers, as fresh as the day it happened. She wouldn't go back even if she could.

"When are you going to run yourself out I might as well just give you a ride, it's nothing."

Yèfēi opened the car and persistently followed Mùxīng, which made Mùxīng even more vigilant.

To offer help without a reason is either a thief or a villain. This person must have ulterior motives.

Mu Xing stopped her steps, planted the shovel into the ground, and looked at the man with a fierce gaze. "Do you see this shovel If you follow me again, I'll use it to mash you into meat paste!"

It's clear that this little girl is really angry, she looks quite fierce.

Quite cute.

Ye Fei smiled patiently, and agreed: "Alright alright, I won't argue with you."

"We'll see each other again."

Leaving behind an enigmatic smile, Ye Fei raised his car window and pressed the accelerator. The deeply recessed supercar quickly vanished from view at the end of the road.

Mu Xing curled her lips, she wouldn't want to see such an annoying person again.

Upon arriving at the foot of Wu Ze Mountain, Mu Xing discovered that there was only one narrow and steep mountain path leading up. It was even more difficult than the paths on Qingyun Mountain, but for Mu Xing who had lived in the mountains since childhood, it was a piece of cake.

"Hetian jade! I'm here!"

Mu Xing carried a shovel and plunged headlong into the overgrown mountain path. Her petite figure instantly vanished into the lush forest...

Tracking in the forest is extremely difficult. Even Shen Lue, a professional tracker with over twenty years of experience, lost Mu Xing's trail after following her for a distance.

Once again faced with the shadow of being tracked and his career hitting a standstill, Shen Yue slumped his face, quickly took out his phone to edit a message, and sent it out.

……

The Fu Group Building, located in the heart of the Imperial Capital, soars straight into the clouds.

The top conference room.

The man seated at the head of the table had a stern face, his imposing aura sweeping over the entire conference room.

Suddenly, the phone screen on the conference table lit up, displaying a WeChat message.

Fu Lingxiao opened it and glanced, it was from Shen Yue: "Lord Fu, I followed Mu Xing to Wuzhe Mountain. Now I haven't disappointed you, I've lost her."

Mount Uzen

Fu Lingxiao's brows furrowed slightly: "What did she go to Wuze Mountain for"

Soon, Shen Lue's reply came: "It seems like digging for jade."

What else do you need to do to dig for jade

As soon as the question popped into my head, another message came: “I just met Young Master Ye Fei Bai on the road a while ago. It seemed like he was deliberately getting close to Mu Xing.”

Fu Lingxiao lowered his eyes to look at the message, a dark light flashing in those deep eyes. After a moment, he sent a message back asking, "What did they say"

Shen Lue said: "The distance was too far, I didn't hear anything. But looking at Mu Xing's expression, he didn't want to pay any attention to him. After a while, Ye Feibai left."

His thin lips curled up slightly, and the man sent a message: "It's unsafe on the mountain, find her as soon as possible."

Receiving the message, Shen Yue's face remained expressionless as he let out a low chuckle.

Grandfather Fu, you're worrying too much. With Little Star's skills, the dangerous ones would be the wild beasts on the mountain.

The valley deep within Mount Uzes.

Mu Xing had already found a cliff with digging marks. She took off her backpack and put it aside, rolled up her sleeves and started digging.

Unknowingly, three hours had passed, and Mu Xing had already dug up a large pile of stones, which formed a small hill there.

And her palms were also rubbed raw with several large blisters.

Ouch—that really hurts.

Mu Xing blew on her palms and sat down, looking at the pile of stones. Suddenly, she thought of a very serious problem. Her master had only taught her how to identify jade, but not how to look at stones.

These stones all look the same. Which one actually contains jade

She furrowed her brow in thought for a moment, and then came up with a good idea.

If you don't recognize it, just take it all back and cut it piece by piece!

Mu Xing took out two foldable snakeskin bags from her small backpack. When she shook them open, it turned out to be two extra-large snakeskin bags.

She got into the habit of carrying snakeskin bags with her because of her first time going hunting in the mountains. She saw a lot of wild vegetables and medicinal herbs, things she really wanted to take back, but unfortunately, there was nothing to put them in. It distressed her greatly. From then on, whenever she went up the mountain, she would keep two snakeskin bags in her small backpack, just in case.

Mu Xing hummed a tune as she put the stones into the snakeskin bag. Soon, both snakeskin bags were full. She stuffed the remaining stones into her small backpack and finally, satisfied, put on the backpack.

Carrying a snakeskin bag in one hand, he slung it onto his thin shoulders and walked happily down the mountain.

At that moment, a wild rabbit suddenly darted out from the grass, bringing with it several small pebbles, which rolled at Mu Xing's feet.

Mu Xing wasn't paying attention and stepped on a round little stone. Her foot slipped, and her whole body went tumbling down to the ground. She just let out an "ouch!" when suddenly the two large bags of stones in her hands dragged her rolling downhill.

Wild grass and branches scraped across her tender skin, leaving bloody scratches.

She gritted her teeth, clutching the snakeskin bag with all her might, not daring to loosen her grip for a moment. After all, it could be filled with top-quality Hetian jade!

After a dizzying spin, the body rolling downwards gradually came to a stop.

Mu Xing lay in the grass for a while, then sat up and checked her snakeskin bag. Thankfully, her snakeskin bag was sturdy enough and didn't show any signs of damage.

She let out a long sigh and as she stood up from the ground, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her ankle.

Only then did she notice that her ankle was visibly swollen.

More than just her ankle, her back ached from the stones in her backpack.

If a mirror were placed before her now, she would see that her face was covered in scratches made by branches.

Mu Xing took out her phone from her pocket and checked it. It wasn't broken. She thought about calling her uncle, but the idea was instantly suppressed by her.

If her uncle found out, he would definitely ask her why she was here. She wouldn't lie, and she would immediately be exposed.

Well, I guess I'll just have to figure out how to get down the mountain myself.

However, she didn't know that there was no signal on the mountain at all.

Mu Xing put away her phone, looked around, and found a thick branch. She held it in her hand and gestured with it, luckily it could be used as a cane.

She dragged two snakeskin bags with one hand and leaned on a tree branch with the other, slowly making her way down the mountain. Along the way, she picked some medicinal herbs for scrapes and bruises, crushing them with a stone and applying them to her ankle.

The sky gradually darkened.

Fu Lingxiao returned home and didn't see that lively figure, he couldn't help but frown and asked Wu Butler: "Is Mu Xing back yet"

Wu Guanjia was taken aback. How did the young master know that Mu Xing had gone out

No matter how the young master knew, anyway he wanted to do what he promised Mu Xing, to keep her secret.

She went out to play, she should be back soon.

Second time lying to the young master, Wu Butler said, "How should I do My conscience is really troubled."

In order not to let the young master discover his abnormality, Wu Butler went to the kitchen after he finished speaking.

Fu Lingxiao took out his phone to call Shen Yue, but it went straight to voicemail. He quickly flipped through his contacts and dialed Mu Xing's number, but it was also unreachable.

He frowned, turned and left, ordering Yun Tuo, “Prepare the carriage! Bring men and lighting tools to Wuze Mountain!”s in the other villa to rest. He stayed here, ready to notify everyone if anything happened.Mrs. Fu was old and her body could no longer hold up. She was persuaded by Liu the steward to go to rest.She...
