Lv Wen and his entourage were immaculately dressed, a stark contrast to the miners who were carefully walking along the cave walls.
If one looked closely, they would notice that the miners, upon seeing the officials, hid a sense of disgust and aversion beneath their fearful expressions.
"Lord Chu, please walk this way."
After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, more than ten intersections appeared ahead.
Inside each intersection was a mine pit.
"This path leads to the A Pit," Lv Wen continued to explain.
Compared to the main passage earlier, the mine tunnel was narrower, with shelves fixed on the cave walls, seemingly to prevent collapses.
As they proceeded, the clanging sounds grew louder and louder.
After walking for another half-quarter of an hour, their view suddenly opened up.
A spacious cave appeared, filled with miners excavating, and a few overseers.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work," Zhou Xun said amiably, walking up to one miner.
