After Xiang Shaoyun and Mo Mo left the Cloud Margin Forging Pavilion, they started strolling around the city. Since Xiang Shaoyun no longer had to worry about someone recognizing him, he could have as much fun as he liked without worrying about his pursuers.

”Mo Mo, I need you to build a spy network for me. Will you be able to do that?” Xiang Shaoyun asked as they walked. Mo Mo blanked out.

She then answered honestly, ”I don't have any relevant experience, so I'm not sure if I will end up disappointing you, young master.”

”You are still too weak. I will give you a year to grow and reach the King Realm. Then, use Cloud Margin City as your base and build a spy network that can penetrate any place. As for the support you will need for the task, I will provide everything,” Xiang Shaoyun said.

Xiang Shaoyun felt that the task would be too demanding for Mo Mo with her current strength. She was still too weak. It wouldn't be easy for her to build a spy network with her current cultivation level.

But after hearing Xiang Shaoyun's words, Mo Mo became excited, and she said, ”If the young master trusts me, I will definitely be able to do it!”

”Um. We'll first buy a residence at Cloud Margin City. You can get started once you learn more about the city,” Xiang Shaoyun said.

Thus, they started looking for a residence for sale. Suddenly, Xiang Shaoyun had a feeling that someone was tailing him.

Is it someone from the Cloud Margin Forging Pavilion? Xiang Shaoyun wondered. At that thought, he brought Mo Mo and dove into the crowd as he tried to break free of the surveillance.

Mo Mo noticed Xiang Shaoyun was suddenly behaving differently, and she asked nervously, ”Young master, what happened?”

”Someone might be tailing us. We'll talk back at the restaurant,” Xiang Shaoyun whispered.

But when the person tailing them noticed that he had been discovered, he decided to increase his speed and move directly into the open. When Xiang Shaoyun noticed that he couldn't shake away his follower, he turned around and stood still, waiting for his tail to arrive.

Not long after, an ordinary looking man approached him and laughed dryly, ”Greetings. I am Wen Hong.”

”Do you need anything?” Xiang Shaoyun frowned.

”I come from a blacksmithing clan, the Wen Clan. I wonder if you have heard of us before?” Wen Hong introduced himself.

Xiang Shaoyun and Mo Mo exchanged glances as they both knew that this blacksmith clan was the organization second only to the Cloud Margin Forging Pavilion in terms of blacksmithing in the city.

”And why are you tailing us?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”I accidentally overheard that you are selling top-quality goldsteel stone, so I am here to discuss it with you. Will it be possible for you to sell it to our Wen Clan instead? As for the price, do not worry. We are offering 10 percent more than what the Cloud Margin Pavilion is offering,” Wen Hong said, going straight to the point.

”Can you speak on behalf of your clan, though?” Xiang Shaoyun asked with a faint smile.

If someone was willing to offer him a better price, he would not mind considering it.

”Um, I am not sure about that, that was why I had decided to tail you first. After figuring out where you stay, I could then return and inform my clan about this,” Wen Hong gave his reasoning for tailing Xiang Shaoyun.
