Chapter 1706 - 1701: Regret?

Five minutes later, she had a preliminary understanding of this Jade Vein.

She could confirm one thing: the jade deposits in this vein should be particularly abundant.

"This collaboration is absolutely a surefire win!"

Saying this excitedly to herself, Shangguan Xue was about to say something when she heard a gentle voice speak.

"Xue’er, do you want to take a look inside the mine now? Sometimes things outside aren’t very clear. There are many branch paths in this vein, which might mean there are more jade deposits."

"Are there branch paths in this Jade Vein?"

Originally, Shangguan Xue didn’t plan to go in, but hearing Lv Xinxin’s words, her eyes lit up.

Knowing well that Shangguan Xue would be interested, Lv Xinxin smiled openly and spoke again, "Yes, there’s more than one. I’ve been inside before! Xiaobei was with me, you can ask him!"

"Master Xiaobei, really?"

"Yes, there are many branch paths, some are very deep."

"Then I have to go in and take a look."

Seeing her curiosity being piqued, a hint of pride flashed in Lv Xinxin’s eyes!

She quickly spoke again, "It’s still unexplored inside, so it’s very dark. Better have Xiaobei accompany you inside!"

"This..."

Listening to Lv Xinxin’s suggestion, Shangguan Xue hesitated as she looked at Lv Xinxin...

She was planning to go in with Lv Xinxin because she was more familiar with her.

But now Lv Xinxin directly recommended Hu Xiaobei...

Seeing Shangguan Xue looking at her, Lv Xinxin understood her thoughts, sighed slightly, and spoke with a hint of regret, "Actually, I want to go in with you too, but there’s no way. I accidentally twisted my ankle before. Although it’s not a big issue now, it’s still not great! So it’s really impossible."

"You twisted your ankle?"

"Yes, and Xiaobei can vouch for me on that!"

Hearing her mentioning him again, Hu Xiaobei’s lips curled into a slight smile, he said softly, "Yes, I can vouch for her; she really twisted her ankle before."

"Is that so!"

Feeling a bit of regret, she glanced at her delicate feet, then looked at Hu Xiaobei, speaking with some apprehension, "Master Xiaobei, could... could you accompany me?"

She was very nervous at this moment!

Because she was worried Hu Xiaobei might refuse her.

"Of course, but I really don’t recommend going in because it’s really dark inside, and there are all sorts of sharp rocks!"

Hu Xiaobei had been inside before and knew the conditions, so he really didn’t suggest Shangguan Xue go in.

"You don’t understand me, I love adventure!"

Rejected Shangguan Xue’s eyes flashed with excitement...

Although she was a girl, she loved activities like bungee jumping.

So now, knowing it’s dangerous inside, she wanted to go even more.

Seeing her excited expression, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose, knowing there was no point in further persuasion now.

"Since you want to go in, I will naturally accompany you, but once we’re inside, you have to listen to me, understood?"

Recalling the previous incident where Lv Xinxin almost fell and got disfigured, he needed to set conditions now.

If she could agree, Hu Xiaobei was willing to go down with her.

But if she couldn’t promise, Hu Xiaobei certainly wouldn’t take her down.

"This... alright!"

She hesitated for a bit, then agreed...

She knew having Hu Xiaobei willing to accompany her was already great, so she couldn’t act willfully.

"Then prepare a bit, we’ll set off soon!"

"My shoes are not quite appropriate!"

Saying this, she looked at Lv Xinxin, "Xinxin, give me your shoes. My shoes are too high. Wearing them in will definitely not work."

Hearing such blunt request, Lv Xinxin glanced at her, noticing she was wearing dark purple high heels.

Technically, the heels weren’t very high, but because they were going down the mine, the heels became particularly tall.

Looking at her own shoes, Lv Xinxin spoke with slight embarrassment, "I’ve worn my shoes!"

"We’re practically family! I won’t mind!"

"You really got me!"

Sighing, Lv Xinxin sat down.

Then, she shyly lifted her small foot wrapped in pink sneakers and took them off.

"Here you go!"

"You can’t just give me the shoes, I need the socks too!"

"Honestly!"

Grumbling, Lv Xinxin also took off the fitted pink nylon ankle socks.

Quickly taking them, she kicked off her thousand-yuan high heels and quickly put them on.

After wearing them, she walked back and forth a bit, "They fit well!"

Saying this, she looked at Hu Xiaobei, "Master Xiaobei, I’m ready now, we can leave anytime."

"Then let’s go!"

"Sure!"

...

"Xiaobei, I’m giving you a great opportunity here, if you don’t seize it, don’t blame me!"

Watching Hu Xiaobei and Shangguan Xue head towards the deep Jade Vein, the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

Afterwards, she cheerfully turned to sit on the side, quietly waiting...

"Sis, what’s going on!"

Just sitting down, she heard an urgent inquiry...

Turning her head, she saw her brother Lv Beibei looking at her curiously.

"Shangguan Xue is here, she wanted to see inside the vein, so I let Xiaobei accompany her."

"Sis, you’re not trying to make Master Xiaobei..."

Saying this, Lv Beibei paused!

But Lv Xinxin understood his meaning, smiling softly, she said, "I am hoping Xiaobei will chase her, does it seem unreliable to you?"

"This... it’s not bad, but if it really happens, wouldn’t you and her have to share everything equally?"

"Sharing is fine! Actually, as long as I can get a tenth, I’m satisfied! Alright, we don’t know how things will turn out, so let’s not worry about these! Sit with me and wait!"

"Okay!"

Lv Beibei nodded, sat by her side, quietly waiting together.

...

"Wow, this place is much darker than I imagined!"

Walking into the mine, Shangguan Xue looked around a few times, speaking in astonishment.

Due to her love for adventure, she had been cave exploring before.

She thought the cave environment was similar to here, only now knowing it’s much more terrifying than the caves she explored.

"Regret is still an option!"

Hearing her slightly astonished remark, Hu Xiaobei smiled faintly...

"Regret? Impossible!"

Originally thinking of retreating, hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, she shook her head vigorously.

"The stubbornness kicks in!"

Muttering this, Hu Xiaobei handed her the flashlight, laughing softly, "Since you don’t regret, let’s proceed!"

"Let’s go then!"

Saying this, Shangguan Xue stubbornly turned on the flashlight quickly...

But soon, she felt a bit awkward because she realized even with the flashlight, it was hard to see where to go.

Because it was truly as dark as it could be.

"Better follow me!"

Gently smiling, Hu Xiaobei took the initiative to lead the way.

She glanced at Hu Xiaobei’s figure, shyly followed behind.
