Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 651: Chapter 608: Reaching the Peak 17 (4,000 words)_3

The mine tunnel was pitch black, relying solely on lamps for illumination, making it impossible to tell day from night. Shuangshuang didn’t know how long she’d been there, likely three or four days!

As Shuangshuang hadn’t killed anyone all this time, the Bai family members had started looking at her oddly these past two days, and behind her back, they were gossiping that Bai Shuyao had somehow changed, not killing anyone anymore.

Some assumed Bai Shuyao had been warned by the Family Head and was merely holding back, but once she snapped, she might end up killing a few people.

On the surface, Shuangshuang remained calm, though she was indeed anxious inside. She wasn’t the psychopath Bai Shuyao was. Pretending for a few days was fine, but pretending for too long would definitely expose her, and then she’d be in trouble.

Luckily, Shuangshuang had a good mental fortitude. After holding on for a few days, the time finally came when she could leave. Being in the mine tunnel without seeing the sun for too long could cause issues, so the Bai family members would swap with those responsible for security on the surface every four or five days at most. Only Bai Shuyao, out of sheer willfulness, would go straight home instead of continuing to work during the exchange.

Shuangshuang planned to leave directly, following Bai Shuyao’s habit. After all, her purpose there was already fulfilled. In the past few days, she had stored a lot in the Memory Stone. As long as she got out, the Bai family’s secret would inevitably be exposed.

However, just as Shuangshuang was about to leave, the middle-aged man who had previously guided her blocked her path, claiming the Family Head had ordered Bai Shuyao to accompany the guard team, making it easier to protect the spirit stones excavated from the mine during the return to the main house, and she shouldn’t go alone.

Though Bai Shuyao was gloomy and twisted, she was a genius. At only fourteen, she had already reached the Warrior Level, a prodigy only slightly less talented than Shuangshuang. If not for this, the Bai family would not have tolerated Bai Shuyao’s abnormal behavior.

Shuangshuang, feeling helpless, had no choice but to agree since it just meant spending a little more time interacting, hardly enough to expose her.

This time, there were a lot of spirit stones. The Bai family, exceptionally wealthy, had purchased a storage bracelet, which was currently worn by the highest combat power person among the Bai family members on this trip. Accompanying them were several large carts full of secret silver, meant to mislead others.

Shuangshuang followed with her heart in her throat back to the Bai family, and thankfully nothing happened. She found a corner, performed the Transformation Technique, changed into an ordinary guard, and swaggered out of the Bai family.

The first thing Shuangshuang did upon returning to the Tan family was to make hundreds of copies of the Memory Stone and then gathered a group of kids, instructing them to sell the Memory Stones for one gold coin each.

Shuangshuang even taught them the pitch to shout while selling: ”Bai family mine insider info, the mystery of the missing martial artists’ whereabouts.”

The function of the Memory Stone is to truthfully record everything; it can’t be faked. Everyone knew the information in the Memory Stone was completely accurate, so when those who bought the Memory Stones saw the scenes inside the Bai family mine, the news quickly spread, and the entire Mangshui City erupted!

The news was too shocking. The Bai family was the mastermind behind capturing so many martial artists. Although shocking, what was even more astonishing was that the Bai family had discovered a spirit stone mine and planned to keep it all for themselves! This was simply challenging the authority of Baiyue Country, which was absolutely intolerable!

At this point, there was no need for Shuangshuang to intervene; the City Lord Mansion had already justifiably taken action. On the day the Memory Stone incident broke, the City Lord Mansion swiftly sealed off the Bai family and their mineral veins.

Because Shuangshuang and the City Lord Mansion acted so quickly, the Bai family didn’t even have time to hand over the negotiated spirit stones to Yan Xing before the City Lord Mansion had surrounded and confiscated their assets.

Wanyou Trading House has its rules, and even if Yan Xing was somewhat unconventional, he had essential rules to adhere to, such as deals not being considered successful or contracts not being established until money was in hand. Without a contract, Wanyou Trading House couldn’t interfere in others’ affairs.

Inside the Wanyou Trading House attic in Mangshui City, Yan Xing had just watched the images in the Memory Stone, a gentle smile forming on his face. No matter how one looked, he didn’t seem like a bad person.

But the man sitting opposite Yan Xing shuddered and complained, ”Could you not smile like that? It’s just a trifling spirit stone mine, not a top-grade spirit stone vein. Gone is gone. Why so concerned?”

Yan Xing tossed the Memory Stone in his hand, maintaining his smile, and said, ”Am I such a petty person? It’s just a substandard spirit stone vein. Good or bad, it doesn’t matter. I’m only curious about who masqueraded as Bai Shuyao. They really executed this move beautifully, instantly cutting off my path as Bai family’s backup. I really want to meet this person; they must be very interesting.”
