"It seems you've been ignoring my instructions," said Hong Yuye. Her aura surged. It was vast and massive, like the Yangtze River.
"S-Senior…" stammered Jiang Hao. "I didn't really mean to do that intentionally. I was, in fact, trying to find that blend of tea when I was called to work in the mines. I cannot disobey the order from the sect. I couldn't uproot the flower and bring it here with me. I thought the environment would be unsuitable for its growth."
Hong Yuye's gaze pushed him against the wall with a force. However, she let him go.
She picked up the hoe. "You like mining?"
"I-I have begun to…"
Hong Yuye turned to him. Jiang Hao got nervous. "Yes, I like it!"
She threw the hoe back to him. Then, she walked out of the mine as though she was there for a leisurely stroll. "Follow me."
Jiang Hao picked up his hoe and didn't dare hesitate a second longer. Hong Yuye stopped at the edge of the mine.
