"You don't need to go with me to the capital. Find a place, use your skills to help me develop influence and gather intelligence. The first task is to help me locate Azure Cloud Valley. This should be simple, right?"
Ling Mo Xie ignored Bai Yunfei's expression and instructed him.
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Bai Yunfei thought for a moment and replied, "No problem!"
However, he was secretly laughing: Haha! As long as I stay away from Ling Mo Xie, I will be free, right? I can do whatever I want, and besides, Ling Mo Xie didn't specify where I should go, so I can just run far away and never come back!
Ling Mo Xie noticed the gleeful look on Bai Yunfei's face but only smiled at him without saying anything. With the system's constraints in place, he wasn't worried about Bai Yunfei running away!
After chatting for a while, they each found a place to spend the night. The next morning, people in Refuge Camp had already started moving things to Skywind City.
After these days, the resentment in Skywind City had mostly dissipated, so some people began moving back to live there.
While these people were busy moving back, Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi also set off early on their journey to the capital.
Skywind City was still quite a distance from the capital. After traveling for over ten days, Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi finally arrived outside the capital.
The capital truly was the seat of a nation; its grandeur was far beyond what Skywind City could compare to.
Even from hundreds of meters away, one would be awed by the imposing presence of the City Wall.
Hong Chi was no exception. Upon seeing the towering City Wall and the bustling flow of people for the first time, he was momentarily stunned. But soon after, he dashed toward the city with excitement, shouting to Ling Mo Xie, "Boss, look at how magnificent this city is! There must be delicious food inside!"
Hearing Hong Chi's words, Ling Mo Xie shook his head helplessly and followed Hong Chi into the capital.
Once inside the city, Ling Mo Xie couldn't help but exclaim, "The capital truly lives up to its name; the cultivation levels of the pedestrians here are not something a city like Tianfeng can compare with!"
As Ling Mo Xie observed the crowd coming and going, he occasionally cast a Detection Skill on others. Among ten people, almost four or five were at Golden Core Stage, and there were even one or two at Nascent Soul Stage!
Ling Mo Xie wasn't probing those dressed in fine clothes; he was simply checking those who looked very ordinary!
As Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi happily walked through the bustling streets of the capital, looking around like Liu Laolao visiting the Grand View Garden, they were unaware that more than one group had their eyes on them.
In a small alley beside the busy street, a man dressed in plain clothes, serving as a Lad, quietly looked up at Ling Mo Xie while continuing his work.
Hmph! Ling Mo Xie? Finally, there’s some progress on what Third Young Master instructed. How dare he plot against someone from the Feng Family! He truly doesn’t know how to live!
Meanwhile, above a luxurious Restaurant on the street, a young man dressed in fine clothing sipped his drink while watching Ling Mo Xie. He snorted lightly through his nose.
“What a bumpkin! I can’t believe the princess has taken a liking to him and wants him to join her in searching for treasure?”
After saying this, the young man downed his drink and said to the Lad beside him, “Regardless, since he has caught the princess’s attention, he must have some value. Go and invite him up for me!”
“Understood!” The Lad respectfully replied and turned to head downstairs.
“Wait!” The young man called out to the Lad, hesitating for a moment before saying, “Since he is someone the princess values, be more respectful when you invite him!”
“Got it!” The Lad quickly bowed in response. Seeing that the young man had no further instructions, he turned and left.
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie was being dragged around by Hong Chi through the bustling streets of the capital. Watching as his Spirit Stone flowed out of his pocket like water, Ling Mo Xie couldn’t help but curse under his breath; no wonder it’s the capital—prices are so high!
Hong Chi, completely oblivious to Ling Mo Xie’s expression, continued to shop enthusiastically, various snacks piling into his Storage Ring.
“Excuse me, Young Master!” Just as Ling Mo Xie was being pulled along by Hong Chi, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.
Ling Mo Xie frowned, pulling at the restless Hong Chi, and looked at the person who called out to him. With a furrowed brow, he asked, “Who are you? I don’t think I know you.”
The man appeared honest and straightforward—a Middle-Aged Man. Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie’s words, he revealed a smooth smile that didn’t quite match his honest demeanor and said, “Well, everyone starts off as strangers before becoming acquaintances, right?”
Ling Mo Xie sized up the Middle-Aged Man, thinking that since he was new to the capital, he shouldn’t know anyone of importance. The only exception might be… Feng Yiqin. It was said that the Feng Family still held some power in the capital. Could this man be from the Feng Family?
Thinking of this, Ling Mo Xie shook off the man's hand and said, "Are you from the Feng Family? If you have something to say, just say it! I, Ling Mo Xie, am not afraid of you. Whatever tricks you have, feel free to use them."
The Middle-Aged Man was taken aback for a moment after hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, then smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm not from the Feng Family, but... I do know about your conflict with them."
"You’re just a young boy, yet you can use someone from the Feng Family as a pawn. You must be quite capable!" The Middle-Aged Man said with a smile, speaking slowly and calmly.
Ling Mo Xie was initially stunned by his response, thinking he was lying. After all, in the capital, aside from the princess, only the Feng Family would know about him since he had offended them.
This uncle in front of him clearly did not belong to the princess's circle, so he must be from the Feng Family.
However, after thinking it over, he chose to believe the man's words.
After all, the power of the Feng Family in the capital was not something he could compare to. If they wanted to deal with him, there would be no need to hide their identity!
Since this uncle said he wasn't from the Feng Family, it was highly likely that he truly wasn't!
But thinking this way made Ling Mo Xie even more confused. This uncle seemed to be coming for him; not only did he know who he was, but he also knew about his grievances with the Feng Family. What was his background?
Ling Mo Xie pondered for a moment. With so little information available and unable to figure things out clearly, he straightforwardly asked the uncle, "Since you're not from the Feng Family, then who are you with? I don’t seem to recognize you."
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's question, the uncle smiled slightly and said, "As for who I am with, there's no need for you to ask. I’m here on behalf of my master to invite you over for a gathering. Once you go, you'll naturally find out."
