Chapter 990: Shi Caihe’s Investigation

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Shi Caihe? Mo Wuji's heart was filled with doubts. Who was this Shi Caihe? He had never heard of such a person.

When Xi Lingru heard the name, a look of astonishment instantly emerged on his face. When he turned to look at Mo Wuji, he immediately knew that Mo Wuji didn't know of Shi Caihe. He hurriedly explained, ”Wuji, Shi Caihe is one of the top God Pill Kings in Nirvana Learning Academy with a cultivation at God King Level 7. He is a renowned figure throughout the entire God Continent.”

”But I've never heard of this man. Why has he come to find me? How does he know that my surname is Mo?” Mo Wuji was truly confused. Back in the Pill Dao Honour Tower, he was only verified as a Tier 4 God Pill Master. He still wasn't a God Pill King.

Moreover, few knew that his name was Mo Wuji. Even fewer would know after he came to Nirvana Dao City. He didn't really believe that Shi Caihe would have investigated him. How long has it been since he left the Duel Competition? Shi Caihe definitely couldn't have done an in-depth investigation on him during that short time.

Xi Lingru seemed to recall something. Immediately, he said to Mo Wuji apologetically, ”It should be because of me.”

Mo Wuji immediately came to an understanding. He said to Xi Lingru, ”It's not your fault. Moreover, his words have revealed plenty of information. I will release the seal and invite him in. Let's see what he's here for.”

Mo Wuji realised that it should be because of their meeting at Nirvana Dao City's Affairs Guild . Shi Caihe should have heard his name when Xi Lingru greeted him. Xi Lingru only used a sound-inhibiting seal afterwards.

It could be seen that Shi Caihe had been following him. Otherwise, Shi Caihe wouldn't have paid attention to the conversation between Xi Lingru and him. It could then be further deduced that Shi Caihe had seen his performance during the Duel Competition and had followed him to the Affairs Guild.

After Mo Wuji deduced all this, he suddenly felt a cold sensation on his back. He didn't manage to pass the Tier 5 God Pill King assessment. However, it was clear that Shi Caihe had been following him since the Pill Dao Honour Tower.

This fella was a late-stage God King and was even a peak-grade Tier 5 God Pill King. Such a person actually tailed a mere Nascent God like him for an entire day. Mo Wuji could not help but feel worried.

However, when an expert like Shi Caihe came to visit, Mo Wuji would naturally have to welcome him. As a show of respect, he also couldn't use his spiritual will to scan Shi Caihe.

After Mo Wuji released the seals, he discovered that it was a young man standing at the door. What shocked Mo Wuji was that this young man didn't have a right arm.

A late-stage God King and a peak-grade Tier 5 God Pill King was actually missing an arm. This was indeed rather peculiar.

”Pill Master Mo. Nirvana Learning Academy Pill Sea's Shi Caihe has presumptuously come to visit you. I hope that I have not interrupted anything.” Shi Caihe came in with a smile. His tone was extremely warm and cordial.

Mo Wuji thought: Your visit is presumptuous? You have been following me the whole day. However, Mo Wuji knew that the other party shouldn't have any malicious intent. If not, he would have noticed something a long time ago.

”Of course not. To be visited by Senior Shi is junior's honour. In front of Senior Shi, this junior does not dare to be called a 'Pill Master'. Senior can address me as Junior or directly call me by the name of Mo Wuji.” Now that Shi Caihe had reported his name twice, Mo Wuji naturally had to reveal his own name.

Xi Lingru also clasped his fists and said, ”Minor High Firmament Sect's Xi Lingru greets Dao Friend Shi.”

Shi Caihe also clasped his fists in return, ”I have long heard of Sect Head Xi's illustrious name. Now that I finally meet you, it seems like the legends were true.”

After a few words of courtesy, he followed Mo Wuji into the room.

Mo Wuji was sure that Chi Bing knew of Shi Caihe's visit. Since Chi Bing didn't come out, Mo Wuji wasn't going to call her.

After Mo Wuji served a few cups of tea, Shi Caihe smiled and said, ”Wuji, I actually helped you out today.”

Shi Caihe truly wasn't acting overly courteous. He actually addressed Mo Wuji with Mo Wuji's real name.

Seeing Mo Wuji look at him in doubt, Shi Caihe continued, ”One of the God King enforcers actually wanted to take you away. However, I transmitted a message to him and he decided to show me some face.”

Mo Wuji's heart sunk. He thought that it was his crystal ball which solved the problem. From the looks of it, the problem was far more serious than he had imagined. Even if Shi Caihe didn't explain any further, Mo Wuji knew that the God King that wanted to take him away should be in cahoots with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.

If he was taken away, then one could only imagine how miserable his outcome would be. So what if he had a crystal ball? Those people could even use his bones as soup.

Mo Wuji stood up and bowed to Shi Caihe, ”Senior, many thanks for your saving grace.”
