Zhang ngng's face turned awkward, and her heart felt slightly sour. Indeed, she had sent Tong Ling yesterday to see if Fu Shengjie would cause trouble for Lin Mo, but it wasn't because she was worried about Lin Mo. Rather, she feared that if Fu Shengjie angered Lin Mo, things would turn bad.
"He and I are really just ordinary classmates, and Lin Mo has a rather cold temperant. He usually doesn't joke around with girls. He wouldn't even bother with so of the school beauties, so he probably wouldn't take girls to a hotel, right?" As Zhang ngng spoke, she couldn't help but let out a sigh in her heart.
As a student at Tian Nan University and now even ranked among the school beauties, she had once taken the initiative to approach Lin Mo. However, he had shown no reaction to her, which had led her to doubt the power of her own charm at the ti.
"If you are really just ordinary classmates, then I'm relieved," said Tong Ling with a twisted mouth. "After all, that kind of guy doesn't seem like he will amount to much in the future. Why not co back to Jiangbei with this ti and I'll introduce you to so young masters who are much better than him."
Zhang ngng rely smiled faintly without further explanation. Lin Mo, despite his teenage years, was respected by many big shots in Imperial City. With his achievents, how many youths could truly surpass him?
...
Jiangbei, Linzhou Railway Station.
Lin Mo and Liao Wen took the bullet train, and after roughly four to five hours, they arrived at the border of Jiangbei. Linzhou was one of the most developed cities in Jiangbei, with a permanent population of three million. Finding soone from the Black Witch Sect in such a large city was undoubtedly as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack for ordinary people.
However, an organization like the Black Witch Sect wouldn't easily make a move, nor would they easily step into the mundane world. Their sudden presence in Jiangbei must have a purpose.
As soon as they got off the train, Lin Mo's Divine Sense spread out like a spiderweb. Even though Lin Mo had yet to reach the Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt or even the Innate Realm, he was practicing the most powerful Divine Sense Technique from ancient tis. With his current strength, covering half the city with his Divine Sense was not an issue.
As his Divine Sense spread out, in the dark void, a series of flas suddenly lit up.
These flas represented the fire of life; ordinary people's life fire was weak, while the flas of Martial Artists, Magic Users, and Superpower Users were significantly more vigorous, resembling candles floating in the air.
The more vibrantly burning flas represented each person's strength—the brighter the candle, the higher the strength.
Near the train station, there were unexpectedly two slightly glowing candles, and those two seed completely unaware they were covered by Lin Mo's Divine Sense.
Although Huaxia Land was vast and had a long history full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, the sudden appearance of so many Martial Artists and Magic Users in a single city suggested sothing unusual was afoot.
"Little girl, you've actually returned!"
Just as Lin Mo and Liao Wen were about to take a taxi into the city, an abrupt voice rang out.
Both Lin Mo and Liao Wen turned their heads and indeed saw two n dressed like ordinary people standing behind them. Both were Magic Users, and the aura they carried was quite familiar—it was indeed from the Black Witch Sect.
"You are people from the Black Witch Sect," Liao Wen said, wide-eyed, not expecting to be found by them just upon arriving in Jiangbei.
"Did you complete the task assigned by the protector?" one of the n asked.
Lin Mo looked at the two n with a cold expression, "Aren't you just looking for ? I'm standing right here, and yet you don't recognize ?"
Hearing Lin Mo's words, the two from the Black Witch Sect's faces suddenly changed.
Before either of the two could make a move, a flash of golden light flitted across Lin Mo's eyes, and their souls were erased by him; the light in their pupils dimd instantly.
Lin Mo wiped out the two n's souls, and at the sa ti extracted the mories from their minds. The two were ordinary disciples of the Black Witch Sect, and it seed that the old Sect Hierarch was not in Jiangbei—only a protector had co to Jiangbei.
This protector seed to have co to Jiangbei for an item that was to be auctioned off at Jia Auction House tonight.
"Again Jia Auction House, it seems that this auction house is no simple matter, involving items from both the Martial Arts World and the Magic World," Lin Mo murmured to himself.
In the evening, outside Jia Auction House in Linzhou.
Last ti, Lin Mo had t Miss Duanmu Xiang from the Jia Family, who had given him a card. He found the card in his Space Ring and handed it to the person in charge at the entrance, who imdiately invited him in with great respect.
"Sir, would you like to arrange VIP suite number one for you?" The attendant, bowing deeply, asked as he walked ahead of Lin Mo.
"No need, I'll just find a spot," Lin Mo said indifferently. With that, the attendant bowed respectfully and backed away, his heart filled with amazent. It was well-known that Jia Auction House had branches in every major city of Huaxia, and the VIP Card that Lin Mo had just presented was rumored to have been issued only ten tis in total. Moreover, every recipient was a big shot who could shake a region with a single stomp.
However, the attendant was also puzzled—how could this young man be such an imnse big shot? Could it be just sothing taken from his family for fun?
No matter what, the young man's status was surely beyond his imagination, and this matter had to be reported to the general manager.
"Eh, Lin Mo, what brings you here?" Suddenly, a voice of pleasant surprise ca from the side.
Lin Mo turned his head and saw Zhang ngng, Tong Ling, Fu Shengjie, and a few other young n and won sitting nearby. He hadn't expected to run into Zhang ngng in Jiangbei, but given that Jiangbei was her grandmother's ho, he guessed she had co for a visit during the holidays.
Tong Ling and Fu Shengjie both frowned slightly.
Why had Lin Mo also arrived in Jiangbei? Could it be that he had followed Zhang ngng here?
But then they saw Liao Wen following behind Lin Mo; perhaps she was from Jiangbei and that was the reason for his visit.
"I think I saw them going to book a hotel room last night," Tong Ling whispered with a slight frown to Zhang ngng. Nevertheless, Jia Auction House catered to society's elite; ordinary people had no access. How could he have gotten in? Perhaps the girl with him had an extraordinary identity? Tong Ling wondered inwardly.
eting Zhang ngng in Jiangbei was an unexpected coincidence for Lin Mo, who promptly sat down beside her group.
However, as soon as he sat down, he felt a sowhat chilling gaze from the side—Fu Shengjie humphed coldly.
It was obvious that the other man regarded him as a 'love rival' and thus harbored hostility towards him, a sentint Lin Mo did not take to heart.
"If I had known you were coming to Jiangbei, we could have co together," Zhang ngng said with a smile, though her expression turned sowhat somber as her gaze flitted stealthily towards Liao Wen.
Liao Wen was the kind of girl who was very delicate and simple, with an air of innocence. In terms of appearance, she wasn't quite on the sa level as Zhang ngng, who had not expected Lin Mo to favor such a girl, and felt sowhat disenchanted at his lack of interest in spending more ti with her.
The group of young n and won sitting with Zhang ngng were friends from a circle in Jiangbei, so of whom were Zhang ngng's childhood playmates. Perhaps after hearing Tong Ling's 'gossip', they all examined Lin Mo with curiosity.
