Chapter 3453: Only In, Never Out

Little Mei also saw Maple Leaf Elder. "I didn't expect to encounter him here."

In Nine Heavens Peak, although Little Mei was in the Rule World, Lin Moyu had let her see everything happening outside, so she naturally knew about Maple Leaf Elder.

Little Mei muttered, "His expression doesn't look too good."

Lin Moyu scanned him with a glance and already knew why. "He should be entangled in misfortune now, so his mood naturally wouldn't be too good."

He was close to Gale Elder. When Gale Elder was affected by the Misfortune Skull, he was also influenced.

At that time, part of his fortune also turned into misfortune, but fortunately, the misfortune wasn't too deep and was slowly receding.

Barring any unexpected events, he would be fine after a period of bad luck.

Little Mei asked curiously, "What is he doing here? There seem to be quite a few Dao Venerables in Wind One City. Isn't this number a bit too many?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Want to know? It's simple!"

Saying this, he took Little Mei to the most luxurious restaurant in Wind City.

The Wu family made money from almost everything. Within the range of Rift Wind Cliff, many businesses were monopolized by the Wu family.

Fine cuisine was one of the major items. The restaurant operated by the Wu family was called Heavenly Dance Food Manor. Naturally, they didn't sell ordinary food. They sold delicacies made from spirit beasts and spirit materials, which were not only delicious but also helpful for cultivation. Apart from being expensive, there were no flaws.

After Lin Moyu brought Little Mei into the Heavenly Dance Food Manor, he asked for a private room and ordered several particularly expensive dishes.

The private room had dedicated service staff. The environment was serene. The one serving Lin Moyu and Little Mei was a young girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, with True God realm cultivation, just a beginner.

While serving the dishes, Lin Moyu suddenly tossed her a fifth-grade Origin crystal. "Are you from the Wu family?"

The young girl caught the Origin crystal, her face immediately showing joy. Many customers would give Origin crystals, but those who directly gave fifth-grade Origin crystals like Lin Moyu were almost non-existent.

The best Origin crystal she had ever received was only a third-grade premium one.

She hurriedly said, "This servant is not from the Wu family."

Lin Moyu nodded. "I see there are many Dao Venerables in Wind One City these days. Do you know why?"

As he spoke, he tossed her another fifth-grade Origin crystal.

The young girl caught the Origin crystal and immediately answered, "Something happened in Wind City these days, that's why so many Dao Venerables came."

Lin Moyu tossed her a third Origin crystal, then took out a handful and placed them on the table. "Tell me in detail, and all these will be yours."

Dozens of Origin crystals piled on the table, all fifth-grade. For the young girl, this was an enormous fortune.

The young girl's eyes shone. "A few days ago, treasure light suddenly burst out from Rift Wind Cliff. There were many treasures in the light. Those treasures were flying around inside Rift Wind Cliff, and then many Dao Venerables came, all preparing to seek treasures."

The reason why so many people were flocking to Wind City was partly because of Rift Wind Cliff.

Rift Wind Cliff was very large. Except for the core area firmly guarded by the Wu family, the marginal areas were open to the public.

However, people who wanted to enter had to pay an entrance fee, and the fee wasn't cheap.

In Rift Wind Cliff, one could better comprehend wind-related Great Daos, and at the same time discover some rare materials. Sometimes, one could even obtain powerful treasures.

This was why so many people wanted to go to Rift Wind Cliff.

Lin Moyu asked, "Has this kind of thing happened before?"

The young girl immediately replied, "It has happened before, every once in a while. But this time there were especially many treasures. I heard there were several hundred, and even the worst ones were Dao Venerable realm treasures."

As she said these words, the young girl's eyes sparkled, full of anticipation.

Dao Venerable realm treasures! If she could have one, it would be an immense fortune.

Lin Moyu questioned the young girl, and she answered honestly, telling everything she knew.

After all, the young girl's realm was still not high enough. She only knew one side of many things, not the other. Lin Moyu knew he couldn't ask much more, so he gestured for her to leave.

Little Mei looked at Lin Moyu's thoughtful expression. "Teacher, do you think there's any problem?"

Lin Moyu said, "If I'm not mistaken, Rift Wind Cliff should also be one of the battlefields of the Origin Catastrophe."

Little Mei blinked her eyes. "During the Origin Catastrophe, there should have been many battlefields. It's not strange if Rift Wind Cliff was one of them."

Lin Moyu smiled slightly. "Indeed, it's not strange. I'm just curious about the Wu family. The Wu family rose to power from Rift Wind Cliff. I'm curious about what they obtained inside."

"And for so many years, the Wu family has been guarding the core area of Rift Wind Cliff. What exactly is still in the core area?"

"The Heaven-Seeking Seal is in the core area. The Hell fragment I'm looking for this time should also be inside. Besides these, guess what else might be in the core area?"

Little Mei looked like a curious baby, full of interest. "Teacher, just tell me directly!"

Lin Moyu chuckled lightly. "It's normal that you can't guess, because your teacher can't guess either."

Little Mei's eyes widened, unable to imagine such an answer. "Teacher, you're fooling me again. It's not funny at all."

Saying this, she stuffed a large piece of meat into her mouth, eating while shouting: I'll bite you to death!

Little Mei had memories of her previous life. Sometimes she was mature, sometimes like a child, very interesting.

Lin Moyu was amused by Little Mei's behavior. "Sometimes joking around is quite fun, isn't it!"

Little Mei shook her head. "Not fun, not fun at all."

Lin Moyu said, "Actually, there's no need to guess. We'll know when we go there. The Three Ancestors' people should have arrived in Wind City. We'll know when we get there."

After teasing Little Mei, Lin Moyu looked down through the window, seeing the people coming and going in Wind One City.

There were indeed quite a few Dao Venerables.

In the distance, a warship flew over, bringing a batch of people and taking away another batch, heading towards Wind City.

The Wu family's warships made several round trips every day, bringing one batch of people out and taking another batch back.

In Wind City, if you didn't pay enough fees, you couldn't stay for a long time.

Everything was about money. The Wu family valued money highly.

Although the Wu family was large in scale and needed a lot of resources to maintain their family and cultivation, no other family was as greedy for money to this extent. Even businessmen like the Three Ancestors weren't like this.

"Why is the Wu family so greedy for money?"

"And for so many years, the Wu family seems to only take in and never give out. They've obtained so many Origin crystals, but it seems they've never spent them. Where did all this money go?"

Lin Moyu felt that the Wu family must have secrets.

Little Mei muttered beside him, "Teacher, why don't you just ask those three guys?"

Lin Moyu chuckled lightly, "Then let's ask."

With a thought, Wu Xingguang, Wu Bingchuan, and Wu Jiuyuan appeared beside him.

Lin Moyu asked straightforwardly, "Do you know the reason why the Wu family is so greedy for money?"
