The night was quiet and clean. The haze produced by the local industries had dissipated among the mountains after the Kunlun Wind swept past. The Wangyang Station was like an oxygen bar located in the middle of the mountains. There was no sign of noise. The stars hanging in the night sky felt like they were about to fall to the ground, stirring up one dazzling ripple after another.
Mu Bai sat at the top of the mountain alone, staring into the sky.
The scene was a even more spectacular than the woman had described. He had visited a lot of places, yet he had never had the chance to relax while enjoying the dazzling sight of the night sky, or perhaps his eyes had been shrouded by sothing over the years.
Mu Bai sat on the mountain until the latter half of the night. He slowly rose to his feet while shaking his head.
He returned down the mountain to Wangyang Station. The place was quiet, apart from the bustling bar.
Mu Bai did not look into the bar when he walked past it. However, a drunk middle-aged man happened to be coming out of it while hugging a young slender woman with his right hand. To be precise, his hand was wantonly grabbing the woman’s bottom.
Despite being drunk, he was impatiently moving in the direction of an inn with the woman. The woman was whispering softly with a smile.
They bumped into Mu Bai as they happened to pass by. The young woman was stunned. She looked into the direction Mu Bai ca from.
Mu Bai halted in his tracks. He briefly glanced at the woman before withdrawing his gaze. He did not stop for more than a second. He kept walking as the moonlight shone upon his back.
“Do you know him? Or is he your old sweetheart? Let tell you, good-looking n like him are useless, it’s better to enlighten instead...” the middle-aged man grunted.
“He’s just an old custor,” the woman replied.

Since when was he feeling so lonely? He actually treated a hooker’s words so seriously, like the words of a family mber. He was eager to keep his promise after he survived the dangerous operation...
Is this the feeling of living a carefree life?

After recovering so energy, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Mu Bai, Lingling, Mui Zhuocheng, Dongfang Xifeng, and the others had no intention of staying any further. They all boarded a flight to the Magic City.
Zhao Manyan flirted with the stewardess on the plane, as usual. He was truly a flexible person; he did not mind visiting the pettiest brothel when he had the mood, but when it ca to a situation where he had to lift his standards to talk to soone, his topics imdiately revolved around fashion, films, and places across the world. Even the stewardess, who was used to working on international flights, was impressed by him. She could not wait to do so shaless things with him across the world!
“I’ve been working on dostic flights now after the decrease in international flights. However, dostic flights aren’t as interesting as international ones. It’s rare to et an interesting passenger like you.” The stewardess’ smile was no longer just professional as she continued to chat with them. Since she was the head stewardess, no one would complain about her.
“What happened to international flights?” Mo Fan asked.
“Many of the destinations for the routes are along the coastlines. The flights were impacted now that a huge portion of the coastlines were drowned by the ocean and invaded by sea monsters,” the stewardess told him.
“Oh, that’s true,” Mo Fan nodded.
“Why are you suddenly curious about international flights?” Zhao Manyan asked with a confused face.
“The Holy Judgnt Court has summoned . I’ll have to pay them a visit soon,” Mo Fan said helplessly.
The Holy Judgnt Court was finally going to co up with a ruling regarding Mo Fan’s actions at the Parthenon Temple. Even though his contribution of capturing the Cold Prince was greater than his offenses, they still had to adhere to official procedures. Mo Fan still had to respect the Holy Judgnt Court, since they were the highest court for Mages!
“Which country is the Holy Judgnt Court located in?” Mu Bai asked.
“I think it’s Switzerland,” Mo Fan said.
“Switzerland huh...” Mu Bai fell into deep thought.
“You have any close ones there?” Mo Fan asked.
“I have a sister who my mother adopted, I think she’s in Switzerland,” Mu Bai clarified, as if he was afraid that Mo Fan would relate his sister to Mu He. Mu Bai continued, “It happened before I moved to the Mu Clan in Bo City. A couple from Switzerland was fond of my sister when she was very young. They didn’t have any kids, so they wanted to bring her to Switzerland with them. My mother wasn’t capable of taking care of us both, so she agreed. We’ve stayed in contact through e-mails and calls, but I haven’t heard from her for a few years. If you’re going to Switzerland, bring along. I would like to pay her a visit.”
Mu Bai had already experienced how terrifying it was to live a carefree life. Even though he had not heard from his sister for so years, he still wanted to et her and know she was doing well. He could also let her know about their mother’s passing. He would soon move to Fanxue Mountain...
After all, Mu Zhuoyun was his uncle. The people from Bo City that used to live in the Ancient Capital had moved to the new Fanxue City, too. It was better for him to live with them.
“Sure, it’s too boring to go alone. Old Zhao, fancy a trip?” Mo Fan said.
“Based on the experiences I had lately, I strongly believe keeping my distance from you is the safest choice...” Zhao Manyan replied carefully.
“Great, that ans you’re going too. HAHA, another country waiting to be conquered by us!” Mo Fan burst out laughing.
“Hey, do you even understand the human tongue!?”
——
Mu Ningxue had been extrely busy lately. There was no point in going to Fanxue Mountain. Mo Fan paid a visit to the Mui Clan to tell them about Qi Shan’s betrayal, and spent the rest of his ti in the Magic City.
It was the city he was most familiar with; he could just hang around at the Pearl Institute, or visit the Clearsky Hunter Agency when he was bored. The biggest Magic Association in the country was in the Magic City, too! It had the latest information and the best resources. Nothing would go wrong staying in the Magic City!
It had been a while since Mo Fan last paid Dean Xiao a visit and drank so tea with him. He had spent a long ti cultivating in seclusion, and almost died of boredom at the Parthenon Temple, so he wanted to go to different places and catch up with the people he knew.
He also wanted to see if Dean Xiao had sothing impressive. He might take a dozen of them to protect himself. His equipnt was too simple; even his precious Black Snake Armor was struggling to keep up with his level. He mostly used it rely to defend himself from poison.

A few older professors were inside Dean Xiao’s office when he arrived. They almost blurted out in surprise and scolded the young impolite student for barging in, teacups in their hands. However, when they realized it was Mo Fan, they quickly put on friendly smiles and kept ntioning they had beautiful granddaughters who were single still...
“Mo Fan, my granddaughter is a very nice girl, she’s definitely bigger than Old Zheng’s granddaughter. Don’t young n like you prefer big nowadays? You can co and visit my granddaughter,” the professor with the surna Li said.
Cough cough! “How shaless are you guys? I’m already taken, but if you don’t mind giving your granddaughters to warm my bed, you can just send them to my place,” Mo Fan said.
“That’s a little too much; second wife, a second wife will do...”
A female director could not bear it any longer. “...Professor Li, can’t you be more mindful of your words!?”
Dean Xiao quickly interrupted the inappropriate topic between the old professors. He said, “Mo Fan, I heard that the Holy Judgnt Court has sent you a letter?”
“Yeah, hence I’ve co to ask if you have any nice magic equipnt here. They said they aren’t going to be fussy about what I did at the Parthenon Temple since I caught the Cold Prince, but I’ve offended so many Clergyn and Holy Court Mages at the Parthenon Temple. Wouldn’t I be in trouble if they are planning to set up behind the scenes?” Mo Fan answered.
“I’m afraid I don’t really have anything impressive here. Besides, shouldn’t you leave so of them to your juniors instead? This magic equipnt that is useless to you is very precious to them,” Dean Xiao said.
“You’re right. Why don’t you assign an expert to escort instead? I don’t really trust the people of the Holy Judgnt Court,” Mo Fan countered.
“Professor Li, didn’t you want Mo Fan to be your grandson-in-law? Why don’t you go to the Holy Judgnt Court with him... bring your granddaughter along, too. They are still young, they might have principles, but who knows what’s going to happen when they are in foreign countries?” Dean Xiao said.
“Dean Xiao!” The female director was on the verge of losing her mind. She left, as she could not bear to listen to these people any longer.
Everyone simply ignored her. Professor Li waved his hand and said, “I’m not going to the Holy Court Mages. Those people in the Holy Court are nothing but monsters. If I was thirty years younger, I might be interested in going there and crushing so of their egos, but now... huh, Old Zheng, I rember that you always visited one of the institutes there in the past. Wouldn’t that an you’re familiar with the place? Why don’t you organize a trip and bring so students along, too?”
“Old Li, how shaless can you be? Aren’t you in charge of the exchange students every year? You should be familiar with so of the institutes, too!” Old Zheng grunted.
“No way, it’s been so many years since I last visited them,” Professor Li refuted.
“That’s enough, you two; it’s not like you have anything better to do lately. Just go with Mo Fan, will you? Think of it as a vacation. You can visit their institutes and have a friendly exchange or sothing. If anything happens, you must stand your ground. Show them the spirit of our Pearl Institute!” Dean Xiao said.
“See? Why do we always end up with either the fish dying or the net splitting? Old Zheng, why do you always have to be like this?” Professor Li complained.
“Hehe!” Professor Zheng responded with a cold grin.
“Old Zheng, so are you bringing your granddaughter along, too?” Professor Li inquired.
“Of course, why wouldn’t I? It’s a great chance for her to learn, and I believe the institute will be paying the fees, right?” Professor Zheng said.
“Well... I’ll have to ask. I believe we haven’t been using the budget we’ve allocated for exchange programs with institutes of foreign countries...” Dean Xiao mused.
“Very well. Mo Fan, you should know that we’re not entirely free in the institute. If we really want to go with you, we will have to bring so of our students along to visit those reputable institutes.”
“Not a problem, you’ll still be escorting . Besides, I’m an honorable ntor too!” Mo Fan agreed promptly.
