The group drove along the highway to the south of the Magic City. It was around three hundred kilometers away from Hangzhou. They happened to pass by a place called Wanggui Town. They were planning to spend the night there.
Wanggui Town was a relatively small and prosperous town. It was built on high ground. The rising sea level did not have much of an impact on the town, apart from the view of the sea.
The town was located on high ground. They would reach the desolate sea after driving for around twenty kilometers to the east. Wanggui Town did not rely on the sea. It had a freshwater lake behind it. The lake had nurtured the unique town.
"The scenery here is amazing. Why didn't I know there was such a town here? It's quite interesting to spend the night here," Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
Some small towns and villages would occasionally appear at the end of the highway. They would see the eaves of the houses painted with special colors and the clear water. It was as pure as a paradise outside of a big city or a huge factory. Wanggui Town was exactly the same. Being in the town was better than just taking a quick glance at it. It was surprisingly beautiful and peaceful.
The group drove into the town. As soon as they arrived at the checkpoint, they immediately saw a few Magicians in the uniform of the Magic Association and a few traffic police officers standing there …
"Gentlemen, Wanggui Town is temporarily closed. If you aren't a Magician, please go somewhere else," the traffic police officers saluted and signaled the group to continue their journey.
"We are Magicians, but did something happen in Wanggui Town?" Mofan asked.
"Why are you asking so many questions? We're just passing by. If we can't spend the night here, it's fine," Jiang Shaoxu sighed.
"The Enforcement Union is investigating. You can enter the town, but you have to register first," the member of the Magic Association said.
"The Enforcement Union?" Mofan was surprised.
If the Enforcement Union was willing to take responsibility for the incident, it meant the situation was rather serious.
"Let's go, Mofan, don't tell me you're trying to be a busybody again. Since the Enforcement Union is here, they'll take care of it," Zhao Manyan said.
"That's right. From the coast to the inland, which place isn't this tense?" Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Wanggui Town is pretty close to Dawn Island. If we don't rest here, we'll have to go to Long Heron City, which is around a hundred kilometers away," Ling Ling said as she took out a map.
"That far?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.
"Mmm, this area is all deserted. Wanggui Town is the only town here," Ling Ling said.
"Let's rest here then. We're Magicians, why should we be afraid of the fairies?" Mofan said.
"That's true. Let's spend the night here then."
…
After registering, the group decided to spend the night there. They happened to meet up with Mubai, who was on his way from Fanxue Mountain.
The town did not seem to be under attack when they went inside. The streets were still crowded, and the restaurants and shops were operating as usual.
As a matter of fact, Mofan was only hungry. He was too lazy to travel another hundred kilometers. The elegant town might not have much, but it definitely had a lot of delicious food. Mofan purposely found a fancy restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes. He had a great time eating!
"Speaking of which, which Enforcement Union is on duty here?" Zhao Manyan could not help but ask curiously.
"It looks like Nanxi Mountain, judging from the logo," Ling Ling said.
Lingling often interacted with the members of the Enforcement Union, so she could easily recognize some of the symbols.
Nanxi Mountain and Beiyu Mountain were located to the north and south of Lingyin Enforcement Union, respectively. Nanxi Mountain was responsible for the incidents south of Hangzhou, while Beiyu Mountain was responsible for the incidents north of Hangzhou.
"Nanxi Mountain … I remember someone telling me that she was transferred to Nanxi Mountain to be the Head Judge …" Mo Fan rubbed his chin as he tried to recall what had happened.
Just as he was thinking about this problem, a somewhat stern voice sounded from outside, probably reprimanding his subordinates.
The voice belonged to a woman. It was the mature and pleasant type, but her tone did not sound friendly. "Deputy Head Judge, it's only a matter of time before he retires.
After all, he hasn't been in the job for long. It's only normal for him to make mistakes. Let's go in and have dinner first. We've been busy all day, so we should at least eat something to fill our stomachs. Don't you agree? This restaurant is quite famous in Wanggui Town. Let's eat something and calm down, "a man in his thirties advised.
"I'm full from anger!" The mature woman stepped into the restaurant angrily. Her plump and round buttocks sat on the wooden bench. Her thin waist set off her seductive charm.
Zhao Manyan was an expert at reading women. He squinted and observed the woman. He kept clicking his tongue.
"Mo Fan, Mo Fan, she's a mature woman. Jiang Shaoxu is a little lacking compared to her," Zhao Manyan commented.
"Do you have a death wish!?" Jiang Shaoxu kicked Zhao Manyan.
Mo Fan was sitting on a bench. His eyes followed the woman from the moment she entered the restaurant. He was sulking when she sat down.
"Why would I take a student like you as my mentor? Please train yourself for a few years before being transferred to Nanxi Mountain Enforcement Union. You should be down-to-earth instead of relying on your connections," the woman said angrily.
"Elder Tang, isn't he learning humbly from you? If he can learn from you as soon as he graduates, he will improve a lot. Don't you agree, Zhu Min?" a man in his thirties said.
The young man called Zhu Min was sitting to the side. Even though he lowered his head and did not dare to talk back, his eyes were looking somewhere else. He did not seem to be sincere. He said half-heartedly after hearing his colleague's words, "Yes, yes, I still have a lot to learn from Deputy Elder Tang."
"I would have fired you if it wasn't for your father," Deputy Elder Tang said coldly.
Zhu Min's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't dare to show his displeasure. However, when he saw someone approaching, he vented his anger on the waiter. "What kind of shitty restaurant is this? We've been here for so long, yet you didn't greet us, serve us tea, or order our dishes?"
The waiter was startled. He pointed at the counter and said, "Order the food over there. Vent your anger outside."
"What do you mean by that!?" Zhu Min rose to his feet. He immediately unleashed the aura of a Mage at the waiter.
He did not mind being scolded by Elder Fu, but the waiter of the restaurant dared to talk to him like that. He was an Advanced Mage, after all. Even the leader of a town like this had to treat him with respect!
"Stop trying to show off your cultivation in front of me. Sit down!" the waiter said sternly.
Most shockingly, the waiter suddenly unleashed a stronger aura. Zhu Min lost his footing under the pressure. He followed the waiter's order and sat down on the bench. He almost fell to the ground!
"Mo Fan!" The mature female Judge glanced at the "waiter" and called out his name in surprise. Her tone was filled with unconcealable joy.
"Miss Tangyue, it's been a while. I've missed you," Mo Fan said with a harmless smile.
