855 Dragon City Free Trade Zone (1/2)
A day before this, he and Guo Mengqiao had investigated the woman. They even tested her ability from afar. They decided to do nothing after finding out that the extent of Yao Yu's power was unfathomable. That was why no one would engage her in battle after she had been stirring up a commotion in Dragon City for so many days.
”Mo Wen is very young after all. It is inevitable that he is arrogant because he has such a high level of achievement at such a young age. Thankfully, we can still stop him from becoming involved in this matter. Since he is a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, we can't sit idly by and do nothing about it. When the time comes, we should try our best to stop him. The ten day promise is just a verbal response,” Guo Mengqiao said.
According to what he knew, although Mo Wen had the combat ability of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, his actual cultivation was not yet at that level. It could only be said that he was exceptionally talented and had extremely powerful combat ability. However, against Yao Yu, relying just on this was somewhat insufficient.
”Rumor has it that this Mo Wen has been practicing alone all this while. He has had limited interaction with the outside world, so he is not very familiar with this world. He has joined the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, but that only happened recently. Perhaps in his opinion, no one among his age is a match for him, hence he acts so recklessly. In short, he lacks experience,” the handsome youth exclaimed. If he was in Mo Wen's position, he most likely would have behaved in the same way. However, this world was too vast and was far more complicated than Mo Wen imagined.
”Chou Tong, we can't do much about Mo Wen. I guess the old fellows of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall will find an opportunity to test him. Right now, the most pressing matter is our investigation into Yao Yu. I fear that this woman's personal information is of the highest rank in the Demon Gods Alliance, the SSSSS rank. It will be very difficult even for the Huatian Palace to investigate her exact identity.”
A look of suspicion flashed in Guo Mengqiao's eyes. The Demon Gods Alliance was the pinnacle of the western world and was naturally a major concern for the Huatian Palace. Even in the Demon Gods Alliance, few could reach the highest level of confidentiality. Moreover, this woman was still so young. The Huatian Palace had to keep an eye on her.
”SSSSS rank! It is rather impossible,” Chou Tong exclaimed in surprise. In the Demon Gods Alliance, the level of confidentiality for the ordinary Divine Way strong practitioners was only S rank. What kind of concept was SSSSS rank?
”Based on our investigation so far, it is highly likely to the case.” Guo Mengqiao slowly looked at the enchanting woman in the square.

Mo Wen and Gong Biluo toured Dragon City. After they found out that it was similar to the cities of ancient times, they returned to the inn.
Mo Wen once again dismissed Tang Zhizhi. She had never seen an employer like this. He had hired her as a guide, yet he stayed in the inn every day. She had many suggestions and many places that she wanted to take Mo Wen to visit, but all her ideas seemed to be useless. This made Tang Zhizhi feel that she couldn't demonstrate her worth. Thankfully, Mo Wen did not fire her.
Tang Zhizhi didn't realize that with the beauty Gong Biluo around, Mo Wen had no spare time to go on visits.
In a quaint teahouse, two maidens sat beside the window, staring at the crowd passing to and fro on the street. The two maidens were Su Wan'er and Wang Qian from the Five Tigers Sect.
One of the maidens was resting her chin on one hand while staring blankly through the window. There was a letter in her hand.
”Wan'er, are you still thinking about Mo Wen?” Wang Qian asked helplessly as she stared at Wan'er, who was spaced out.
Since Mo Wen had left without bidding farewell, Wan'er was frequently in a daze like this. Wang Qian could not understand why Wan'er would prioritize this guy so much.
”Sister Wang Qian, in your opinion, why did Big Brother Mo leave without saying goodbye? Was he not used to the life in the Five Tigers Sect?” Wan'er asked with a frown.
Big Brother Mo left her a farewell letter. Then, he disappeared, leaving the small wooden house empty.
”He was not someone from the Taihang Mountains to begin with. He was also not a member of the Five Tigers Sect. Of course, he would leave,” Wang Qian replied. She did not feel strange about Mo Wen leaving. After all, Mo Wen was not a member of the Five Tigers Sect. It would be illogical for an outsider to stay in their sect permanently.
”But he had not fully recovered from his injuries. I am sure he had something to attend to, and that was why he left so abruptly.” Wan'er frowned and looked thoughtful.
”Then, you should just assume he has some matters to attend to. Everyone has their own business.”
”But what matter does he have?”
”Wan'er, when do you think the Sect Leader and the other elders will be back?” Wang Qian had no intention of continuing to discuss Mo Wen with Wan'er, so she changed the subject.
”I don't know. They might not be back until late. I don't know whether Sect Leader and the rest can make it back safely today. The Desolate Dragon World is too dangerous.”
