The First Heir

Lord Ludo flipped his folding fan open, fanned himself, and cursed under his breath, “How ignorant.”

On the side, Fennel looked at Philip and whispered, “Did you offend him? Why is he always so sarcastic to you?”

Philip stroked his chin, laughed drily, and said, “I’m not sure either. Maybe I’m too handsome…”

Pfft!

Lord Ludo spat the tea he was drinking and stared daggers at Philip. Then, he said, “There are nine mines in Mystic City. Because of some incidents that modern society can’t explain, the locals call them Mystic Mines. A lot of jade and ancient weapons have been dug up in Mystic Mine Three in the past few days, so it’s in the limelight and has attracted many looters.”

Hearing this, Philip and the others nodded repeatedly.

According to Lord Ludo, it was nothing more than a mine that had unearthed jade and ancient weapons.

“What about Mystic Mine Seven?” Philip asked.

Lord Ludo glared at him vehemently and said, “A bloodstone was dug up in Mystic Mine Seven three years ago. The entire jade looked as if it was permeated with blood. It was red from the inside out. It was rumored that people who have seen this bloodstone have gotten into accidents one after another. They either committed suicide, were dying from illness, or went crazy. After that, Mystic Mine Seven was closed. It was only opened recently.”
