Chapter 1065: The Senior from Two Thousand and Three Hundred Years Ago

When the people of Yingyun City heard that, they eyed him dubiously. As expected, this young man had ulterior motives. There was no way he would help them without expecting anything in return.

“What is it you need?” Huai Hongxiu asked carefully.

There was no such thing as a free lunch. If this young man would just get straight to it, that would really set everyone at ease. If it was a deal that Yingyun City could afford to make and this young man could really help them tide through this crisis, then that would undoubtedly be the most ideal outcome for all parties.

“Wise Man Huai Guang once obtained a sachet 2,300 years ago. All I need is that sachet,” Mo Wen said after thinking. That was what he had been instructed.

“A sachet?”

Everyone was taken aback. This young man had come all this way here just for a sachet? What was the sachet—could it be some mysterious treasure?

Everyone was trying to guess what that sachet could be. Just what was it about the sachet that would propel this young man to put his all into protecting them? It was probably no ordinary object.

“2,300 years ago… A sachet…”

Huai Hongxiu frowned as she thought carefully. Then, her eyes lit up. She looked at Mo Wen in shock as she said, “You’re that person that senior called over?”

Huai Hongxiu was overwhelmed with a rising surge of emotions. What her father had told her back then was finally coming true.

As the current mayor of Yingyun City, it went without saying that she had taken over every aspect of governing Yingyun City, and this included the treasures in their clan’s treasure trove. There was a sachet in the treasure trove that her father had long cherished and treated like a treasure.

Initially, she had not known what that sachet was, but she found out after. On a fateful journey 2,300 years ago, providence had led to her father to save a senior. Legend had it that that senior’s cultivation was unfathomable, and even her father could not compare. That sachet was something given to her father by that senior, and with it, her father could seek the senior out for help if he ever ran into any unresolvable crises.

Huai Hongxiu had known about this, but her father’s sudden passing had taken her by surprise, and she had no knowledge of how to contact that senior since. And as such, the thought of using this sachet to seek help had never crossed her mind. She never expected the owner of the sachet, that senior, to take the initiative to offer them support.

That senior? Mo Wen stroked his chin, declining to comment.

Judging by Huai Hongxiu’s expression, he could tell she more or less knew who the person who had given him this assignment was, and that sachet was likely to have some sort of connection to their relationship. But what did that have anything to do with him? That old lady was pulling strings and using her professional links to solve her own private issues. Mo Wen wanted to curse her.

But then, he thought about it. He had to complete a mission either way and if he changed it for another one, he might actually end up being stuck with a tougher one. At least this mission was not impossible for him.

The preliminary mission was assigned to an individual based on their own abilities. This was done to allow for everyone to be sufficiently tested, so such a mission would not be easy for anybody, whether they were at the preliminary stage of Tide Changing Realm or the great attainment of the Tide Changing Realm.

That old lady from the Sorcerer Clan was an ancient being at the Divine Illusionary Realm, so it was likely that she could tell, with just a glance, that Mo Wen was no ordinary cultivator. Even if he switched out for another mission, it might not necessarily be any easier than this one.

“Were you really sent by that senior? Will that senior come?” Huai Hongxiu said with glee.
