I Can See the Lines of Fortune - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Peak of Cerulean

“Leader!”

The night spirit’s lady’s eyes were shimmering brightly like red rubies. She was staring at Mo Xiaobai, and her body was all tensed up. She was in the best state to launch an attack.

It seemed as though she would act immediately the moment Mo Xiaobai made a move.

“Qianqian, don’t be so nervous.”

The middle-aged barbarian man waved his hand slightly, and looked intently at Mo Xiaobai. The night sky cast a shadow on his stern and resolute face with a beard.

His brown eyes were fixed on Mo Xiaobai as he opened his mouth, and slowly said, “Young man, who are you?”

Mo Xiaobai felt the gazes of four powerful warriors who were at least at two force points of their cultivation on him. His heart dropped. He felt a huge pressure.

However, the lines of light surrounding these four people were all white. They bore no harm to him.

Mo Xiaobai heaved a sigh of relief and thought for a moment. Then, he replied, “My name is Mo Xiaobai. I’m from Moonlight Secondary School, year three.”

“You’re still a year three student?”

From their expression, you could tell that they didn’t expect Mo Xiaobai’s reply. They were stunned for a moment. They didn’t think that Mo Xiaobai would be so young.

They looked at Mo Xiaobai’s young face, and chose to believe him.

After all, it was hard to hide your age. They would find out everything after some simple investigation.

Mo Xiaobai could feel their bodies relaxing a little.

Mo Xiaobai raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, “Who are you, then?”

The barbarian man slowly opened his mouth, and replied, “We are the Peak of Cerulean.”

“Peak of Cerulean?!”

Mo Xiaobai’s eyes turned wide open. He looked at the four people with astonishment in his gaze.

Peak of Cerulean was the law enforcers of the Cerulean Empire. They specialized in dealing with devils, evil gods, and demonic cults.

They were a level higher than the guards of the empire.

The people in this team were all elites!

Most people had heard of the Peak of Cerulean before, but not many saw them.

After all, devils, evil gods, and demonic cults rarely appeared in public.

Once any of them did, it meant that something huge was going to happen.

Thinking about this, Mo Xiaobai glanced at the corpse of the shadow dog devil beside him and felt enlightened.

They probably came for the shadow dog devil, right?

Maybe they were the ones who published the mission about the killer at the expedition association.

As expected, the middle-aged barbarian looked at Mo Xiaobai, and gently asked, “Mo Xiaobai, did you see who killed this shadow dog devil?”

“…”

“…”

Mo Xiaobai’s expression turned a little strange when he heard this.

He pointed at himself. “I killed it.”

“???”

The four members of the Peak of Cerulean were stunned. They looked at Mo Xiaobai weirdly.

The merman with long blue hair falling below his shoulders looked as though he heard a joke. He laughed, and said, “You? Are you kidding? How’s that possible?”

The human lady looked at Mo Xiaobai and smiled too. “Little brother, this isn’t something to joke about.”

“…”

“…”

“I’m not joking. Besides these two people and me, do you see anyone else around?” Mo Xiaobai replied without any expression on his face.

Mo Xiaobai pointed at the fat rabbit-man and the skinny elf, who were shivering in fright and didn’t dare to speak.

The four people were speechless. They exchanged glances with a strange look in their eyes.

They were still suspicious of Mo Xiaobai.

The shadow dog devil had the power of invisibility. It had the ability to sneak an attack on a two force point Force Warrior. What about Mo Xiaobai?

He was just at one force point!

That wasn’t all. He was just a year three student, so his cultivation was probably quite low.

Even if they fought face to face, he shouldn’t be the shadow dog devil’s match!

Yet, Mo Xiaobai was saying that he killed the shadow dog devil. No one in the right mind would believe him.

The barbarian asked, “Mo Xiaobai, how did you kill the shadow dog devil? This shadow dog devil can turn invisible.”

Mo Xiaobai kicked the shadow dog devil’s corpse and smiled shyly. “This fellow’s evil intention towards me was too strong. I sneak attacked it when it was trying to ambush me.”

“…” The four people from the Peak of Cerulean.

Do you think I will believe you!?

These few words were clearly written on their faces.

If it was really so easy, how was the shadow dog devil supposed to sneak an attack on other people?

The night spirit lady, Qianqian, glanced at the corpse of the shadow dog devil, and then looked at Mo Xiaobai again. “Normally, people who just became Force Warriors don’t have the ability to sneak attack a shadow dog devil.”

Mo Xiaobai looked at Qianqian curiously. “Who says that I just became a Force Warrior? I’m already at one force point fourth-rank.”

“What?!”

The four of them were shocked. They opened their eyes wide and stared at Mo Xiaobai in disbelief.

For a year three student in secondary school to break through to one force point, he could already be considered a top-class genius.

Yet, this Mo Xiaobai said that he was actually at one force point fourth-rank?!

How was that possible?

“Have you really reached one force point fourth-rank?” the merman asked suspiciously.

Mo Xiaobai rolled his eyes and released his aura.

In an instant, the four people stopped breathing and looked at Mo Xiaobai with a flabbergasted expression.

“He was speaking the truth!”

The middle-aged barbarian man’s gaze turned gentle as he looked at Mo Xiaobai again.

The human lady smiled, and said, “It has been a few hundred years since a genius like this appeared in Pingxi Town. Little brother, you have a lot of potential.”

“You’re indeed very strong.”

Even the merman, who was suspicious of Mo Xiaobai at the start, had to admit that Mo Xiaobai’s talent was amazing.

Mo Xiaobai smiled shyly. “You’re thinking too highly of me.”

“However, even if you’ve reached one force point fourth-rank, by right, you shouldn’t be able to ambush a shadow dog devil…”

Mo Xiaobai smiled, and replied, “I have an uncommon grade force technique.”

“…”

“…”

The four of them stopped breathing again.

An uncommon grade force technique…

Even they only had one or two uncommon force techniques.

This year three student said that he already had one now?

Mo Xiaobai thought of something, and took out the elite grade devil dog’s claws. “Oh right, these are the ingredients separated out from the shadow dog devil corpse. I was planning to keep the shadow dog devil’s corpse and bring it to the expedition association to complete a mission.”

He looked at the four law enforcers from the Peak of Cerulean. “Were you the ones who published the mission about the killer?”

The four law enforcers looked at the claws in Mo Xiaobai’s hand, and instantly confirmed what he said.

They were indeed the claws of the shadow dog devil.

They glanced at the corpse of the shadow dog devil. Its claws were missing, and there were other parts missing too.

However, they didn’t probe further.

After they confirmed that Mo Xiaobai killed the shadow dog devil, they felt even more dumbfounded.

This was a shadow dog devil!

It was actually killed by a year three student!

It was really hard to believe.

The middle-aged barbarian man nodded when he heard Mo Xiaobai mentioning the mission. “Yes, the Peak of Cerulean published the mission. Qianqian, see if that is the killer.”

The night spirit lady walked beside Mo Xiaobai and smiled kindly at him. Then, she squatted in front of the corpse and took out a device. She started fiddling with it.

Very soon, she smiled happily and stood up. She nodded at the middle-aged barbarian man. “Leader, it’s indeed this shadow dog devil.”

Mo Xiaobai was elated.

It looked like he could get his rewards!
