With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 38: Chaofeng Pavilion

"This..." Li Heu was slightly stunned.

At this moment, Li Mo’s expression had turned icy. He said, "The Li Family not only has blind eyes but also commits acts lacking virtue and integrity. It seems I don’t need to mention the matters between the Li Family and Xun Family to the Patriarch."

"The bridges I’ve built over the years are enough to repay the old favor."

"Young Master Jiang, it’s not worth staying here anymore. I will personally recommend you to enter Chaofeng Pavilion at the City Lord’s Mansion!"

Li Mo’s attitude had shifted by a hundred and eighty degrees.

Li Heu’s complexion also gradually became unpleasant.

But at this point, he could only watch them leave.

Li Mo wasn’t a member of the Li Family, just shared the same surname, barely considered a distant relative. Years ago, the Li Family saw that Li Mo had good potential and supported him with resources for a short period, considering it a casual move.

Unexpectedly, after heading to Mingwu City, Li Mo emerged as a Hidden Dragon, becoming a Martial Arts Hall Master, and even becoming Xun Family’s Honored Guest Elder.

Being a Martial Arts Hall Master is manageable; the Li Family isn’t lacking. But being Xun Family’s Honored Guest Elder is exceptional.

And now Li Mo, without hesitation, severed ties with the Li Family because of this young man, making the situation instantly troublesome.

Meanwhile, Li Heu also picked up some hints in Li Mo’s words.

Li Heu slapped the face of Li Tan behind him.

Then he gathered his emotions and calmly said, "Someone, tell me what happened in detail."

Li Heu looked disdainfully at the headless corpse, thinking that if Li Ru weren’t dead, he might kill him again to atone.

On the other side, Jiang Ming thanked Li Mo: "Thank you, senior, for resolving the crisis today."

Li Mo waved his hand and said, "It’s nothing."

"The Li Family is just blind. This time, I’ve merely saved the Li Family’s life. If that senior had acted, the entire Li Family might have been wiped out."

Li Mo lamented.

Jiang Ming didn’t speak; he knew Li Mo’s words carried some probing.

Indeed, if Jiang Ming wasn’t able to fight his way out after entering the Simulation Space, he would likely have to use the Character Card.

Honestly, Jiang Ming was reluctant to use the opportunity to summon Li Jin in such a place.

Seeing Jiang Ming not taking the bait, Li Mo didn’t continue probing, instead, he led Jiang Ming directly to the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Why does Young Master Jiang want to join Chaofeng Pavilion?"

"Just to slay some evils in the city and practice."

Initially, Li Mo thought Jiang Ming would say something about going to the Main City; instead, this was the answer.

"I don’t think Young Master Jiang is very familiar with Chaofeng Pavilion?"

After a few simple Q&As, Li Mo realized Jiang Ming didn’t have a deep understanding of Chaofeng Pavilion.

"Yes, I just know they like to wear masks."

"Chaofeng Pavilion is an institution set by the Great Lii Imperial Court in various cities. The Imperial Court sends City Lords to manage the secular affairs along with families, while Chaofeng Pavilion, alongside the City Lord’s Mansion, is an organization that handles matters related to evils."

"Most members of Chaofeng Pavilion are cultivated by the Imperial Court from a young age, while a small portion are recruited geniuses from outside."

"For outsiders to enter Chaofeng Pavilion, there are only three channels: first is the exchange of interests between family sects and the Imperial Court; second is that every Martial Arts Hall Master and Immortal Master has a quota of recommendations; third is an invitation directly from Chaofeng Pavilion."

"Every city’s Chaofeng Pavilion differs, but they can directly obtain resources from the Imperial Court, and if they accomplish deeds, they might even head to the Main City."

"The Main City, that’s a place completely different from other cities!"

Li Mo spoke with a flicker of yearning in his eyes.

Jiang Ming had little concept of the Main City; instead, he thought of Chaofeng Pavilion’s various "black technologies."

These things might just be the exclusive technologies of the Imperial Court.

"I have a quota every ten years. I originally hailed from Evergreen City, but I’ve been cultivating in Mingwu City, and I can recommend someone from Evergreen City."

"It’s just... each city’s Chaofeng Pavilion is different, and I can recommend someone from Mingwu City."

"However... since I’m an Honored Guest Elder in Mingwu City at the Xun Family, I wonder whether Young Master Jiang is willing to meet Xun Family."

Jiang Ming pondered briefly but shook his head.

His disguise was pieced together by the others’ assumptions, and could hardly withstand scrutiny.

Currently, in Evergreen City, only the Xun Family is aware.

But if he went to Mingwu City, the Xun Family might investigate, and his secrets could be exposed.

Moreover, Mingwu City and Evergreen City are much the same. Jiang Ming planned to develop quietly first.

Li Mo seemed to have anticipated Jiang Ming’s response, nodding.

"The specifics within Chaofeng Pavilion are confidential, unknown to me."

"What I know is Chaofeng Pavilion’s duty is to eradicate evils, and becoming a member means not being addressed by original name but rather by a code name, and wearing a mask."

"Young Master Jiang, once you enter Chaofeng Pavilion, you’ll know the specifics."

Jiang Ming cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Elder Mo."

Before long, they arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.

Li Mo’s aura rippled slightly, and someone immediately approached for inquiries.

Li Mo stated his purpose and revealed his identity.

Soon, a middle-aged man with cultivation approaching that of a Martial Arts Hall Master came out.

He glanced at Li Mo, then at Jiang Ming, as though puzzled why he wouldn’t recommend him to Mingwu City but opted for Evergreen City, a small town.

"Hmm, both meet the criteria."

"Li Mo, former Evergreen City resident."

"Jiang Ming, hailing from Jiang Family Village under Evergreen City. Okay, Jiang Ming, follow me."

The middle-aged man nodded, gesturing to Jiang Ming.

"Since that’s the case, then please."

"Young Master Jiang, you might visit Mingwu City if you have a chance."

Li Mo cupped his hands and then departed.

"Elder Mo, why didn’t Jiang Ming choose to go to Mingwu City?" On the way, Uncle Xun couldn’t help but ask.

Having such a friend would positively impact his position in the family.

Li Mo shook his head and said, "Do you believe Jiang Ming is ordinarily from Jiang Family Village?"

Uncle Xun shook his head immediately.

Having such cultivation at a young age, paired with that Immortal Master who could annihilate the powerful demons of Demon Transformation Alliance, how could he merely be a village dweller?

"Though the Li Family pales compared to the Xun Family, they’re still a local power in Evergreen City. Yet, both the Li Family and City Lord’s Mansion have only found that Jiang Ming is from Jiang Family Village."

"This indicates Jiang Ming’s backing simply wants him to train in Evergreen City. If we forcefully take him to Mingwu City, we might offend them."

Uncle Xun, upon hearing this, nodded as if understanding.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming had already followed the middle-aged man into a basement.
