Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Mao Xin took Zhou Yiqiao and two others to the residence built near the cave, and met five Phoenix Pavilion disciples who had advanced in foundation building.

When the five people saw Princess Fengxiao behind Mao Xin, their eyes lit up and they walked forward quickly. Although they all saluted Mao Xin, their eyes were constantly looking at Princess Fengxiao.

"I met the elder, but I didn't know he was coming. I didn't come out to greet you. Please forgive me!"

Mao Xin chuckled lightly, with a look of disdain on his face without any restraint, and turned sideways to Zhou Yiqiao and said bluntly.

"These five people are the supervisors of this spirit stone mine. You just need to recognize them clearly. If you can deal with them less, you will have less dealings with them in the future."

Then he turned back and looked at the five people in front of him with contempt.

"Where are Elder Sun and Elder Li?"

Even though the five of them were publicly humiliated by Mao Xin, they still answered with smiles on their faces, nodding and bowing.

"The two elders Sun and Li sympathized with us for guarding such a bitter cold place, so they went to the nearby mountains and forests to hunt spiritual beasts and prepare daily meals for us."

"Do you feel sorry for you?"

Mao Xin seemed to have heard a big joke, and the anger on his face was constantly aroused by it.

"Those two old guys, Sun and Li, are people who have eaten their last meal without finishing their meal. How can they show sympathy to you scoundrels? Are they going to have some leisure time again?"

Mao Xin curled her lips disdainfully and said with a cold snort.

When the five people heard this, their expressions changed slightly. They did not dare to lower their heads and remained silent, which seemed to acquiesce to Mao Xin's guess.

Mao Xin saw this and said sternly.

"I don't care what you did before, elder. I will be in charge of this spirit stone mine for the next five years. I advise you to take care of yourself!"

"Now, no matter what method you use, I will invite the two elders Sun and Li here immediately. I need to discuss the handover!"

After hearing this, the five people retreated towards the door as if they had been granted amnesty.

After the figures of several people disappeared completely, Mao Xin's face returned to its former kindness. She looked at Zhou Yiqiao and the two of them with a smile, and spoke out all their doubts without waiting for them to ask questions.

"Are you curious why this elder is so strong towards these people?"

Although Zhou Yiqiao has developed the habit of not asking about other people's past in order to avoid causing trouble over the years, it was not easy to offend the elder at this moment, touched his nose, pretended to be seen through, and spoke.

"Please ask Elder Mao Xin for advice!"

Elder Mao Xin laughed and explained.

"Actually, it's very simple. They are a bunch of villains who rely on their advanced cultivation. They bully men and dominate women all day long in the sect and do all kinds of bad things."

"Even the two elders Sun and Li, their style in the sect is to be sneaky and sneaky, and they are hated by everyone."

"It can be said that everyone who can be demoted and punished by the sect is a person abandoned by the sect."

The speaker was unintentional but the listener was intentional. When Princess Fengxiao heard the words, her face turned pale again and she hurriedly looked away to hide her embarrassment.

"You two are different. If you practice here in the future, remember to pay attention to your identity and be careful not to have too much contact with these people."

"These people have been hanging out here for a long time, and the mining workers under their control are all Zoroastrian monsters. They have lost their compassion for a long time. If you don't know how to restrain yourself here, no one will deal with the aftermath for you anymore. "

Zhou Yiqiao and Zhou Yiqiao said yes again and again, and each bowed to thank him.

"Thank you for the elder's reminder. I will definitely follow the elder's instructions."

Mao Xin saw that the two of them didn't seem to be perfunctory, so she nodded with satisfaction, and then gave her a date with a stick.

"Of course, if you encounter a troublesome person, you can come to me."

The two were about to say thank you again when the flattering voice of one of the five people, a fellow Foundation Builder, came in again.

"Elder Mao, the disciples have brought some refreshments, please taste them."

When Mao Xin heard the words, he responded lightly. After the five people heard his affirmative reply, they each held a plate of food and pushed the door open.

After placing various exquisitely crafted snacks on the table next to Mao Xin, the middle-aged man who was the leader of the five people spoke.

"Elders Sun and Li are on their way back now, please ask Elder Mao to wait a moment."

Mao Xin picked up a piece of pastry on the table, waved her sleeves and said without even looking at the five people.

"I know, you go down."

When the five people heard this, their expressions froze, and then the leader waved his hand, and then they realized what was going on and retreated.

Mao Xin was a glutton, and Zhou Yiqiao and Zhou Yiqiao didn't look at each other. For a while, the only sound in the room was Mao Xin's chewing.

The three of them were silent for a while, until noisy yelling came from outside the house. Mao Xin put down the food in his hand, frowned at the door, looked a little embarrassed, and spoke impatiently.

"Who had the conflict again?"

"Elder Mao, please calm down. Elders Sun and Li have returned and are currently punishing a demon slave in the mine."

The fellow disciple who had been guarding the door heard this and reported to Mao Xin inside the house.

After hearing this, Mao Xin's face brightened slightly, and then she spoke.

"In that case, I will go over and take a look."

After saying that, Zhou Yiqiao and the two felt a lightness on their bodies, and they were carried by Mao Xin and flew into the cave.

In the cave, two monks who were in the early stages of the Golden Core were interrogating a young demon slave in front of them with gloomy faces.

I saw the young man half hanging in the air, his hands and feet bound by iron chains. Under his feet was a giant green brick with blood stains all over it.

Surrounding this slave, there were hundreds of people from the demon clan whose cultivation was no more than the first or second level of Qi Refining. They were watching with fear on their faces as this fellow member suffered inhuman punishment.

Seeing Mao Xin and the others coming, the elder with the whip waved his whip at the young slave again, and then saluted Mao Xin with his hand.

"This beast has failed to hand over the full amount of spiritual stone mines for three consecutive days because of the disability of a member of his clan. I am imposing a small punishment to serve as a warning to others."

"If Elder Mao can't stand this bloody scene, you can avoid it for a while. After we handle the matter, we will go to visit you."

Mao Xin could see such a clumsy display of power at a glance.

He asked casually.

"Since you know that the share of the spirit stone mine that this person handed over is insufficient, why did you delay it until three days later? Could it be that the two elders were absent from their posts without authorization and have not been in the mine for the past three days?"

The two elders seemed to have been prepared, and another short middle-aged man spoke.

"Elder Mao doesn't know. These monsters are only at the first or second level of Qi refining. They are also suffering from birth, old age, illness and death. If we can make up for the shortfall within two days, we will be lenient."

"After all, I, the Phoenix Pavilion, are from a well-known and decent family. Even if the demon clan is destined to die, we must treat them as labor force rather than consumables."

"Elder Mao, are you right?"
