Chapter 184 - The Old Man Whose Cultivation Was Lost (2/2)

The old man’s bragging made Wei Huo and Su Xiaoyu stop watching.

Wei Huo asked, “Is this person bragging?”

Su Xiaoyu shook her head. “This is my first time meeting this person.”

The old man blushed when he saw an adult coming over. He said, “Wait here at the same time tomorrow. I’ll pass the law to you. Let’s see who has outstanding talent and will inherit my legacy. Remember to bring a bowl of white noodles each.”

Wei Huo was speechless. They were already there, yet he was still bragging. Besides, his last sentence should be the main point.

A child was about to kneel down and acknowledge him as his teacher, but the old man quickly stopped him. “You’re not my disciple yet. You have to pass my test tomorrow. Don’t forget to bring a bowl of white noodles and a vegetable tomorrow.”

Su Xiaoyu said, “They are all people who followed City Lord Ma Tengyun in the early years, so they can stay here forever without spending a single cent. If the people outside the city do not have special abilities and are not mutants, they have to pay 30,000 silver coins to become residents of the Soaring Cloud City.”

Wei Huo nodded. “That’s right. This is an incentive.”

Su Xiaoyu added, “However, the atmosphere in the Soaring Cloud City is really different from the other camps outside. Due to the protection of the armored walls, people are living very safely in the Soaring Cloud City. Every time I enter the Soaring Cloud City, my heart relaxes. That’s why many people want to enter this place.”

Wei Huo said, “But you still chose to stay in the Maple Leaf Camp.”

Su Xiaoyu smiled and did not speak. The Maple Leaf Camp was very kind to her. If she left, the caravan of the Maple Leaf Camp would not be able to continue moving.

She continued leading Wei Huo to the administrative center. After 30 minutes, they arrived at the high walls of Area B and Area C. There was only a two-story building under the high walls that occupied a huge area. There were four guards at the door.

The four guards were not wearing any combat uniforms. They were only wearing guard uniforms and holding police submachine guns. They walked forward immediately when they saw Wei Huo and the others.

“Who are you? This is an administrative area. Unless there is an important reason, no outsider can enter.”

Su Xiaoyu took out a black pass. The four guards immediately made way for her.

Wei Huo was curious. “What is this black card?” he asked.

Su Xiaoyu explained, “This is a mutant’s pass. You can go to places ordinary people can’t visit, but not everywhere.”

The Soaring Cloud City took special care of mutants. This was a way to rope them in.

The two of them walked into the administrative center. There were three buildings inside. The person in the innermost building had the greatest authority. He was in charge of relaying the orders of the higher-ups in Area B. The person in the middle building had medium power. He was in charge of adjusting and receiving documents. His office was similar to a comprehensive office and was a central place.

The building outside was in charge of managing the affairs of Area C7. As soon as he entered the building, Wei Huo heard a person’s voice coming from a meeting room. “We’re in charge of administrative management. We have to act like an umbrella. Only if we shield people from the rain will they lift us up.”

Wei Huo, who was a little surprised, said, “Well said.”

If an executive had such a realization, Area C7 would be governed well and the people there would live in peace.

Before long, Wei Huo heard a woman’s cry. “My son is pitiful! He followed City Lord Ma for five years without complaining at all. Now, he’s dead. I don’t want compensation. I only want justice.”
