"No one in the room?"
"Really, no one. The blankets on the bed haven't even been touched. Where did that kid go?"
"Don't tell me he earned enough Spirit Stones and left for Jade Emperor Valley?"
Their surprised and suspicious voices echoed in the darkness as the two men looked at each other.
They obviously never considered the possibility of a hole under the shack.
After all, everyone living out here in these barren mountains was just trying to earn Spirit Stones at the mines to start on their Immortal Path. With a monthly stipend of eight Broken Spirits, it would only take a few months at most.
For a stay of just a few months, who would be bored enough to dig a cellar to live in?
Mundane thinking has its limits. The two men just stared at each other in silence.
"Let's go back first. We don't want to alert him."
One of the men said through gritted teeth.
"Alright."
