535: Chapter 125 New Moon Church_2 535: Chapter 125 New Moon Church_2 The boss stood up with a smile, greeting the black-haired Transcendent warmly and amiably, “Zhou, your timing is perfect…
please allow to introduce a noble from Ahakanda, Amir is also a follower of the New Moon Church…”
Gu Shen sighed lightly.
That word, “also,” he caught it.
The identity of a follower of the New Moon Church must not be a casual assignnt; this was probably one of the largest sects in Xiyin.
However, the guy’s na and appearance looked very much like those of East Continent people.
Zhou?
It didn’t sound like a na South Continent people would use.
The young black-haired Transcendent, who had been tense initially, scanned the area with his spiritual power upon entering the boss’s office.
After confirming there was nothing unusual, he finally relaxed.
After listening to the boss’s introduction, his expression even shifted to a smile.
It seed a “major client” had co to Holy Image today; she had heard about it too.
Could it be this person?
From the looks of it…
sohow, it resembled soone from the East Continent.
“Amir?” Zhou smiled, “Are you from Ahakanda?”
The mont she spoke.
Gu Shen was slightly surprised.
This voice…
was actually feminine?
Wrapped tightly in a white robe, with black hair and black eyes, it was impossible to discern her gender, revealing only a fair and handso face until she spoke, and Gu Shen realized her true gender.
This was a young woman.
“I am indeed a native of Ahakanda, just of mixed heritage.”
Gu Shen imdiately saw what she was thinking.
He touched his own cheek and explained with a smile, “South Continent people don’t deceive each other; my mother was born in Yinghai and married here twenty years ago.”
Zhou was amused by his remarks.
She nodded and smiled, “I believe you have no reason to deceive …
But I am not from the South Continent.”
The boss also laughed.
Zhou suddenly asked, “Are you sending those auction items to the East Continent?”
“For the past few years, my family has continuously traded with Da Du.
This ti, coming to Xiyin, I took the opportunity to pick a few pieces I fancied to send over as gifts for friends there,” Gu Shen replied with a calm smile: “For the rest of the work, I’ll have to trouble you.”
“No problem at all.”
The boss quickly responded.
Zhou softly laughed, “There are more good items in the auction house these days; perhaps there might be sothing else you like…”
“Definitely.”
Gu Shen smiled and prepared to stand up to leave.
“May the Moon God bring you peace,” Zhou took a step back, extended one hand, and placed it on her chest.
This was the greeting gesture of the New Moon Church.
Gu Shen did not hesitate to perform the gesture, responding solemnly and softly, “…May the Moon God also bring you tranquility.”
…
…
After Gu Shen left,
The smile on Zhou’s face slowly faded.
She looked at the boss and asked, “What did that person just tell you?”
The boss looked bewildered.
He thought for a mont, then faithfully relayed…
however, this was all content he had “imagined” under the influence of Blazing Fire Hypnosis.
“You suspect him?”
After speaking, the boss asked uncertainly.
“It’s a bit strange…
but I can’t say exactly what’s odd.
Bring his file.”
A mont later,
Zhou stood silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the figure of Gu Shen leaving the building.
There was no issue with this man’s file.
Born in Ahakanda, raised in the South Continent, a follower of the New Moon Church, and his response to the parting ritual had no flaws either, yet the Transcendent’s inner feelings were not calm; she always felt this young man was not as simple as she imagined.
Was it her…
overthinking?
…
…
Gu Shen did not hypnotize “Zhou.”
The reason was simple.
It was not because he feared the hypnosis would fail.
But because he worried about the impurity in this woman’s mind.
He had already confird…
“Zhou” was a mber of the New Moon Church.
In fact, the “Moon God” that this church worshipped was rely an empty shell; there was no such thing as a Moon God, and if there were, it would not be in the South Continent.
There is only one True God in the South Continent.
His revered na is “Storm.”
Unquestionably, the New Moon Church was many tis, even tens of tis larger than the Late Bell Church; it likely controlled the entirety of Xiyin City, and just the stationed mbers at the Holy Image group alone had already reached a sixth-level strength.
In the South Continent, the most terrifying thing is not the Heavenly Eye of the Deep Sea but the Spirit Power of the Storm God’s Throne.
If his existence were discovered…
it would certainly cause great trouble.
He simply wanted to investigate an “antique lamp” devoid of Extraordinary Power; there was no need for a significant commotion.
Gu Shen was still very confident in his hypnosis abilities.
With “Zhou’s” strength, it was unlikely she would notice anything unusual.
He returned to the hotel and began ditating.
However, before long, the doorbell rang.
“It’s ‘Zhou,’ she has co looking for you.”
Chu Ling laughed, “The doctrine of the New Moon Church demands a high moral standard from its believers, forbidding actions that breach these morals before official legal ceremonies…
Her actions seem rather inappropriate.”
Gu Shen sighed lightly.
The last thing he wanted was the scene now unfolding…
after a simple encounter, he was already being targeted by a Transcendent of the New Moon Church.
His file had no issues.
The content of the conversation was also correct.
Was it the departing gesture…
No, that shouldn’t be it; he had read their scripture thoroughly, and the final gesture should also be correct.
He chuckled bitterly: “If possible, I would have preferred if it were one of the other church strongn in the building who ca knocking.”
