Chapter 226 Ye Guyi's Curiosity, New Clues.
"The evil spirit masters aren't as rampant as they were three months ago. You think you can just run into one every time you step outside?" Wu Xuan said, taking out a slightly worn map from his storage soul tool.
"What's this?" Ye Guyi asked curiously, stepping forward.
"This is a map of the Holy Spirit Cult branch that one of the evil spirit masters I was chasing betrayed to me to save his life. See where it is in Mingdu. We'll go and wipe him out tonight," Wu Xuan said, shifting his position slightly.
"Good stuff! Let me see!" Ye Guyi said, taking the map and examining it closely.
"I can't figure it out either!" After a long while, Ye Guyi said with some disappointment.
"It's alright, we can ask around when we get to Mingdu," Wu Xuan said, not too disappointed, and put the map away.
"Okay!" Ye Guyi smiled.
Mingdu, as the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, was naturally very vast. Wu Xuan and Ye Guyi had only flown for less than half an hour when they could see the outline of Mingdu in the distance.
This vast city without walls possessed a unique charm even during the day.
"Let's go eat first!" Strolling along the wide streets of Mingdu, Wu Xuan couldn't help but recall the rich, dark sauce of his hometown's braised beef.
"Sure! Where to go? Mingdu has plenty of specialty restaurants," Ye Guyi smiled.
"More than any restaurant, I'd like to go somewhere else," Wu Xuan smiled faintly.
"What?" Ye Guyi looked at Wu Xuan in confusion.
"Just follow me," Wu Xuan nodded casually and led the way.
Ye Guyi followed Wu Xuan slowly, initially not realizing it, but as the road became increasingly familiar, Ye Guyi was stunned. This was the same braised beef restaurant again!
"Are you going to that braised beef restaurant again?" Ye Guyi asked, somewhat speechless.
"Hmm, that shop tastes a lot like my hometown. I'm about to leave the Sun Moon Empire, I should go try it again!" Wu Xuan said in a low voice without turning around.
"Are you planning to go back to Shrek Academy?" Ye Guyi asked in surprise.
"Yes, I've been away for more than half a year, I need to go back and see it. Besides, I have a lot of things stored in my Wind Element Martial Soul, if I don't clear them out, it will be too mentally taxing to use my Wind Element Martial Soul." Wu Xuan stretched out his right hand. "That's illegally obtained money. Your academy claims to be a model of righteousness, do you think it would accept things you stole?" Ye Guyi said with a half-smile.
"You're mistaken. Shrek has never been a model of righteousness, just an ordinary academy. As for maintaining peace on the continent, that's a pipe dream! We only act according to our own hearts. Take me for example, if I wanted to eliminate all evil Soul Masters in the world, I did it. Some senior students wanted to eradicate evil nobles, so they did it too. The academy will provide us with intelligence and cover for us." Wu Xuan said calmly.
"Really?! Do you still stand by what you said before?" Ye Guyi suddenly stepped in front of Wu Xuan.
"What did I say?" Wu Xuan was momentarily stunned, not remembering making any promise.
"You mean you invited me to visit Shrek Academy!" Ye Guyi gritted her teeth, but then quickly calmed down.
"Of course I do! Why do you want to go to Shrek Academy again?" Wu Xuan was a little surprised.
"What? With my strength, do you think I can't get into Shrek's inner academy?" Ye Guyi pouted.
"With my current strength, I can definitely get in, but before, who knows!" Wu Xuan said with a smile.
"Tsk tsk~! You're just envious. Let me tell you, you can't envy my talent." Ye Guyi said playfully.
"Tch~! With my talent, do I need to envy?" Wu Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
At this moment, the two had arrived at the entrance of the small shop, and Wu Xuan walked into the shop as if he knew it well.
"Young man, you're here again! Haven't seen you and that girl for months." The shop owner greeted him with a smile.
"Yeah, I went on a long trip. Same as always." Wu Xuan said, pulling out a gold soul coin and flicking it into the owner's hand.
"Alright, just a moment!" The owner took the gold soul coin and smiled.
The rich, savory beef entered his mouth, and Wu Xuan couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Ye Guyi shoveled some rice into his mouth and then looked at Wu Xuan, asking, "How do you plan to find that evil soul master's branch?"
"You'll find out soon enough." With that, Wu Xuan put down his chopsticks, took out a small token from his pocket, and then crushed it.
The one Wu Xuan crushed was naturally the same sensing soul tool he had given Huo Yuhao. It was currently the holiday for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so Huo Yuhao would have plenty of time to come out.
As expected, when Wu Xuan finished his thirteenth bowl of rice, Huo Yuhao and a girl appeared at the shop's entrance. The girl looked quite petite, only about 1.6 meters tall, much shorter than Ye Guyi.
"Huo Yuhao, over here!" Wu Xuan waved.
Huo Yuhao followed the girl into the shop, and Ye Guyi immediately stood up to make way for Wu Xuan, sitting down next to him.
"Huo Yuhao, who is this?" Wu Xuan looked the girl up and down.
"This is my teacher's student, kind of like my senior, Keke," Huo Yuhao introduced.
"Hello, my name is Yang Xuan, and this is my friend Ye Guyi!" Wu Xuan introduced casually.
"Hello!" Keke smiled and extended her hand; she was always very polite to handsome guys.
"Want some? It's delicious," Wu Xuan said politely.
"No, I just ate at the school cafeteria. Is there anything important you need me for?" Huo Yuhao went straight to the point.
"I'm planning to leave Mingdu in a couple of days. I wanted to ask you if you want to use the thing I promised you now," Wu Xuan said casually, swallowing a large piece of beef.
"You're leaving? So soon?" Huo Yuhao was momentarily surprised.
"Yes, I plan to travel to other cities!" Wu Xuan said.
"Give me some time to think about it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning, okay?" Huo Yuhao's expression was firm, as if he had made up his mind.
"Okay, give me an answer tomorrow morning." With that, Wu Xuan took out another soul-guiding device and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
"Okay, thank you!" Huo Yuhao thanked him.
"By the way, I have a question for you. Do you know the address on this map?" Wu Xuan took out the old map and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao took the map, examined it carefully for a moment, and finally shook his head. "I can't tell where this is either!"
"Never mind then!" Wu Xuan reached out to take the map, but Ke Ke exclaimed in surprise.
"You know where this is?" Ye Guyi asked.
"I have a vague impression. I need to take a closer look." Ke Ke took the map and examined it carefully, finally confirming after a moment, "Isn't this the church near the civilian area in the south of the city? Why are you asking about this? Let me tell you, that place is very strange. Countless people have disappeared there. Even the authorities don't dare to get involved."
