“It's no trouble at all,” the shopkeeper said. Mo Wen found it amusing; if it weren't for having a 'master,' he would have found it difficult to gather any information.
“The location of the Mo Family is now a forbidden area in the Empire, so it's naturally impossible for you to inquire about the Mo Family from outside.” The young man was asking about something quite simple, something that anyone with a certain level of cultivation in the Realm would know, which also proved that he was not a local.
“A forbidden area?” No wonder he couldn't find out anything; it had been renamed. But why change the name in the first place? Could it be that something truly unexpected had happened?
“Yes, this is also why the information I mentioned earlier may not be useful to you. A few years ago, the Empire issued a notice stating that they discovered what appeared to be the residence of the Mo Family, a renowned family of weapon refiners, but it had already been abandoned. You should know that although the Mo Family is a family of weapon refiners, very few people walk among the living, let alone find their residence. Thus, the Empire named this place the forbidden area, and no one is allowed to approach it. Given your cultivation level, unless you have a special pass from the Empire, entering the forbidden area would be impossible. Initially, everyone merely speculated until those who entered began discovering forged weapons and other items, further confirming that the forbidden area was indeed the residence of the Mo Family. Even so, those items rarely made it into circulation; this Cangyue blade was acquired by my shop after much effort.” Although Shopkeeper Gao was just a shopkeeper at Extreme Goods Pavilion, she did not know as much as the actual owner.
“Thank you, Shopkeeper Gao. Please take a look at this.” Mo Wen took out a bag and placed it on the table. He had already gathered enough information and saw no reason to linger.
“Very well. If you truly wish to seek out the Mo Family, you might try your luck in the imperial capital.” She put away the bag and handed the blade back to Mo Wen.
“Thank you!” Knowing this much was sufficient; he wasn't genuinely looking for the Mo Family. He only needed to investigate that forbidden area. Ah! What an abandonment; it seemed there was a significant connection between the Shu Cang Empire and the disappearance of the Mo Family.
By the time he exited Extreme Goods Pavilion, night had fallen. The nights in Snow City were not as lively as those in Yinzhou City; the desolate streets made an already cold night feel even chillier. Wandering along the street and observing the shops on either side, he chose one bustling with people and walked inside. When he came out again, he had changed into fur clothing commonly worn by people from Shu Cang, and his appearance transformed into that of a middle-aged man resembling Ran Xu. This was to prevent anyone from following him; upon leaving Extreme Goods Pavilion, he noticed several individuals glancing at him repeatedly. He didn't suspect anyone from Extreme Goods Pavilion but thought these people were likely participants in an auction.
“The forbidden area... where have I heard about this place before?” In an inn, Mo Wen pondered over Shopkeeper Gao's words; he was not unfamiliar with the term 'forbidden area' and felt like he had heard it somewhere.
“Boss, those three idiots from Lava Sea have their treasure site in the forbidden area,” Xiao Hei reminded him.
“No wonder! I thought it sounded so familiar; it's actually Gong Gan's treasure site.” This was something Xiao Hei had read using his skills; Gong Gan had intended to use it to bribe him before his demise. Remembering this, Mo Wen hurriedly searched through Gong Gan's belongings. When he initially sorted through his gains, he had only discarded Gong Gan's Gong Family token but recalled there being another token that he didn't know its purpose at that time; now it seemed like it could be very useful.
Inside Extreme Goods Pavilion, Gao Xue'e finished counting today's earnings when a worker walked in. “Shopkeeper Gao, Young Master Di is here asking about that blade...”
