After bidding farewell to the Ye brothers and sisters, Su Jinyue and his group boarded a beast cart and headed towards Haiman City.
As soon as the four of them left the city, the middle-aged man received a message from his subordinates, "They are leaving the city?" Are they going to Haiman City?
"Yes, we just left the city gate." The subordinate said respectfully.
"Do you know where they are going?" asked the middle-aged man.
"I've already called the Ye brothers and sisters over; they're waiting outside," the subordinate said. He knew the city lord would definitely ask, so he summoned the Ye brothers and sisters. No one knew more about Su Jinyue and the others than they did.
"Let them in." said the middle-aged man.
The subordinate responded and walked out. After a while, he brought the Ye brothers and sisters in.
"Greetings, City Lord!" Ye Ling and Ye Xiaorou saluted stiffly. This was their first time meeting the City Lord.
The middle-aged man smiled and said to the two, "Don't be afraid. Just think of me as your friend. I asked you to come this time because I'm friends with the four people living in your house. I heard that they had left Demon Sea City, so I wanted to ask them where they went."
Ye Ling and Ye Xiaorou looked at each other, with a hint of vigilance in their eyes.
"City Lord, we don't know where they went. They didn't tell us when they left," Ye Ling said. He was worried that the City Lord had contact with the Man family. If the City Lord knew that Senior Su and his companions had gone to the Man family, he might notify the Man family and ask them to prepare early. Then Senior Su and his companions would be in danger.
"Actually, I know even without you telling me that they went to Haiman City, right?" the middle-aged man said with a smile. He had only asked them to confirm, and now their expressions had told him that his guess was correct.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Ling's eyes, "City Lord, we really don't know." Anyway, he would never tell it.
The middle-aged man pointed to a chair nearby and said, "Please sit down and have a chat." He wanted to ask how Man Batian had been defeated by Su Jinyue and the others the last time he came. As for the Man family, even if he hadn't informed them, they must have known that Su Jinyue and the others were going to Haiman City.
Ye Ling and Ye Xiaorou exchanged another glance, a hint of nervousness in their eyes. They had heard much about the City Lord's deeds; he was undoubtedly a ruthless character. However, no matter what he asked, they had already decided: even if it meant death, they would never reveal a single word about Senior Su and his men. Their lives had been saved by Senior Su and his men, so they should consider it their return.
As soon as Su Jinyue and her group left the city gate, they summoned the airship they had obtained from the Man Family's Great Elder and quickly headed towards Haiman City. Haiman City wasn't far from Mohai City; a beast cart ride would only take half a month at most. Taking an airship would be even faster, arriving in a day or two.
When passing through Mo'e City, Su Jinyue and others saw Xia Moli, who was being besieged by a group of people.
"Isn't Xia Moli the young master of the Xia family? Why is he being besieged?" Tian Fengxun asked in surprise.
"Let's go down and take a look," Su Jinyue said. Although they didn't have much of a relationship with Xia Moli, he had at least helped them bargain and even treated them to a meal, so it was only natural for them to help him.
Xia Moli fought furiously with the besiegers, his body already covered in wounds. He had just meddled in the affairs of a foreign cultivator today, and that foreign cultivator had gathered a group of people and attacked him without a care in the world.
"So what if you're the young master of the Xia family? If you meddle in my business, I'll beat you up." The foreign cultivator kicked Xia Moli hard again. The Xia family was one of the three major families in Mo'e City, but they were not afraid of the Xia family because they also had backers.
Xia Moli's penchant for meddling in other people's affairs, whether he had something to do or not, had already caused a lot of dissatisfaction. It wasn't just the cultivators setting up stalls on the street who wanted to deal with him; the people from the two major families had also long wanted to teach him a lesson. While they were ostensibly outsiders, they were actually members of the two major families.
"Just wait, our Xia family won't let you go." Xia Moli said as he hid. He was no match for so many people, so he could only wait for his family members to come.
"You're still being stubborn now. Brothers, it seems we didn't go easy on you." The outsider monk said to the dozen monks with him. This was only the first time, and they wouldn't get another chance later. They might as well give Xia Moli a good beating.
Just as everyone was about to attack Xia Moli again, a powerful force suddenly appeared and pushed everyone away.
The outsider monk stood firm and looked around. Could it be that someone from the Xia family had arrived? Why didn't the sentry brothers notify them?
Xia Moli was waiting for the next wave of punches and kicks when he saw those who were about to hit him were pushed away by a strong force. He knew he was safe. It must be someone from his family coming.
The foreign cultivator thought for a moment and waved to his companions, "Let's go!" Regardless of whether the people coming were from the Xia family or not, they could not take the risk. As long as they were not caught by the Xia family, even if the Xia family guessed that they were from the other two families, they would not dare to do anything.
Su Jinyue and the others walked over to Xia Moli's side, and Tian Fengxun stepped forward to help Xia Moli up. "Are you okay?"
Xia Moli shook his head. "Thank you!" He had already recognized Su Jinyue and the others. He had seen them at the auction in Mohai City. They were the people in box number six. When they walked out of the box, he scanned them with his spiritual sense.
Tian Fengxun shook his head, took out a jade bottle and handed it to Xia Moli, "See you later." This time they didn't owe Xia Moli anything.
Xia Moli watched Su Jinyue and her group leave. After a long moment, he looked back at the jade bottle in his hand. These people were truly strange. Not only did they help him, they even gave him elixirs.
Just as he was about to open the jade bottle to see what the elixir was, he heard the voice of Third Elder Xia behind him, "Young Master, are you okay?" After receiving the news that the young master had been beaten, he was about to bring people here immediately. The head of the family asked him to come a little later, saying that if the young master didn't learn a lesson, his habit of meddling in other people's affairs would not change.
Xia Moli looked at Third Elder Xia and said, "I'm fine. Let's go back." When he was being beaten just now, people on the street just watched with indifference. He even heard someone say that the beating was good, which made him feel really bad. He was meddling in other people's business just to help them. He really didn't understand where he had gone wrong.
"Young Master, what are you holding in your hand?" Third Elder Xia asked after noticing the jade bottle in Xia Moli's hand.
"It should be a healing pill." Xia Moli had already opened the jade bottle while speaking. When he saw the pill inside, he was stunned. It turned out to be the Magic Dust Pill that could allow people to upgrade one level after taking one pill.
