Shen Yanchuan was silent for a moment. "Can you bear to?"
Ye Chutang knew what he meant: after coming all this way from Qingzhou, how could she bear not to go inside and see for herself? Still, the question sounded strange when she first heard it.
After a moment's thought, she answered honestly, "I can't."
Otherwise, all her days of travel and preparation would have been for nothing.
The corner of Shen Yanchuan's lips curved ever so slightly, as if in a smile.
Ye Chutang peered through the main gate. She could vaguely make out a mine pit dug in the center of the site and a few furnaces, but nothing else.
Under the circumstances, there was no choice but to go inside and look.
She couldn't help but sigh. "If I had known, I would have contacted you sooner."
'Why did I have to make this extra trip?'
Shen Yanchuan raised an eyebrow. "You trust me that much?"
Ye Chutang nodded. "Of course."
