Chapter 2497: The Black Hand Behind Xiao Yue
Although the little girl was clearly hungry, she still ate very carefully and not too quickly.
When eating the fish meat, the little girl's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, looking very happy, with a taste of happiness.
Clearly she had come from a good family background before, having eaten Sea of Realms fish meat when she was young, and had a good upbringing, indicating that her family was not bad in the past.
There must have been cultivators in the family, and their realm must not have been too low. For things to become like this now, there must have been some changes.
Lin Moyu had no intention of prying, in this world, anything could happen.
After eating a few bites, the little girl put away the fish meat.
Lin Moyu asked curiously, "Why don't you eat a bit more?"
The little girl said, "It's enough to not be hungry, I'll save the rest for later."
She was afraid that once she finished eating, there would be nothing left to eat in the future.
Lin Moyu asked, "What's your name, and how old are you this year?"
The little girl said, "My name is Xiao Yue, I'm fifteen this year."
Lin Moyu was stunned for a moment, the little girl who looked like she was not even ten years old was actually fifteen.
He didn't believe he could have misjudged, suddenly reaching out to press on Xiao Yue's shoulder.
Xiao Yue was startled and instinctively wanted to dodge, but her speed was no match for Lin Moyu's.
Lin Moyu pressed down on her, "Don't be afraid, relax!"
Lin Moyu's words seemed to have infinite magic power, after Xiao Yue heard them, her whole body immediately relaxed.
Only Lin Moyu knew that he had used a bit of soul power to influence the other party's soul.
He scanned Xiao Yue's body, seeing clearly that Xiao Yue's bone age was indeed fifteen years old.
The reason she was fifteen years old but looked like a ten-year-old was mainly because she had been injured.
There was a force enveloping her body, constantly devouring her life force, which is why she looked so young and thin.
This force was extremely vicious, devouring silently without killing her.
Doing this was clearly intentional, but Lin Moyu didn't know who would do such a thing or what their purpose was.
Removing this force was not a problem, for Lin Moyu, it could be solved with a wave of his hand.
But he didn't do so, not knowing who was behind this, he didn't want to cause trouble for now.
Lin Moyu let go of his hand, "Now you can explain in detail, starting with these stars. If you explain well, there will be an extra reward."
Hearing there was an extra reward, Xiao Yue immediately happily began to explain, "These stars represent the power levels."
"The forces in the Origin Continent can be divided into nine levels. One star is the weakest, nine stars are the strongest."
"But... it seems there are no nine-star forces, no, it seems there aren't even eight-star forces."
Lin Moyu followed Xiao Yue's words and looked over, seeing that the Fishery Alliance in front of him had three stars, it was a three-star force.
The Alchemy Association had five stars, it was a five-star force.
The Forging Masters Association also had five stars, it was also a five-star force.
A five-star force was much stronger than the Fishery Alliance's three-star force, not at all on the same level.
Xiao Yue told Lin Moyu everything she knew.
But Lin Moyu could also see that what Xiao Yue knew was only superficial, very one-sided information.
The Alchemy Association was composed of alchemists, specializing in alchemy and medicine making. Most of the alchemists and medicine makers on the Origin Continent would join the Alchemy Association.
The Forging Masters Association was similar, it was a sect composed of many forging masters, but this sect had no binding force. Many of the forging masters inside actually had other identities, and might also be disciples or elders of other sects.
The Forging Masters Association was a relatively loose organization, gathering most of the forging masters to exchange with each other, and its power was not small.
In comparison, the Fishery Alliance was much weaker.
The Fishery Alliance was mainly composed of some sects on the Sea of Realms that specialized in fishing and selling fish. These sects were basically not strong, so the alliance they formed naturally couldn't be very strong.
Xiao Yue knew quite a bit, introducing things to Lin Moyu along the way.
Her voice was pleasant to listen to, although she was already fifteen years old, her voice, like her body shape, maintained the clear and tender sound of a ten-year-old. No matter how much one listened, it wouldn't feel annoying.
The two of them went around the west of the city, and Lin Moyu also had a general understanding of the various forces.
Lin Moyu asked, "Do you know about the Blue Family of Coastal City?"
Xiao Yue nodded, "Yes, I do."
"What level of force is the Blue Family?"
"Three stars."
Xiao Yue answered very quickly, without any hesitation, then she continued, "Sir, if you go to the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, you'll know. There are three stars painted under the plaque there."
Lin Moyu laughed, "So that's how it is. Then how exactly are these one to nine stars divided?"
This seemed to stump Xiao Yue a bit, Xiao Yue frowned her little face, "I know the difference between three stars and four stars, to become a four-star force, you must have a Dao Lord, but I don't know about the levels above that."
Lin Moyu asked curiously, "Doesn't the City Lord's family have a Dao Lord?"
Xiao Yue first nodded, then shook her head, "They probably don't, if they had a Dao Lord, they should be a four-star force. But Xiao Yue isn't very sure, maybe Xiao Yue is mistaken."
Lin Moyu said, "Where did Xiao Yue learn so much from?"
Xiao Yue said, "Grandpa told me, but Grandpa is no longer here now, only Xiao Yue is left alone."
As she spoke, Xiao Yue revealed a hint of sadness.
Lin Moyu didn't ask further, from Xiao Yue's words he could already hear that she was the only one left, meaning her parents were also gone.
Xiao Yue's bright eyes were a bit moist, she tried hard not to let herself cry.
Lin Moyu said, "Your grandpa must have been a very knowledgeable person."
Xiao Yue nodded, "Yes, Grandpa knew everything, he often told Xiao Yue stories, telling Xiao Yue many things about the Origin Continent."
Lin Moyu said, "It seems Xiao Yue's grandpa was a very powerful cultivator, how did he pass away?"
Xiao Yue said, "Grandpa said he had something to do, he was going to a place, and then he never came back."
So that's how it was, Lin Moyu had thought Xiao Yue's grandpa was no longer in this world, but it turned out he was missing.
That being the case, it's not certain that he's dead.
Suddenly, Lin Moyu's eyelid twitched, and he looked to the side.
In an alley, Lin Moyu saw a pair of slightly dark eyes.
These eyes made eye contact with Lin Moyu for a moment, then disappeared.
Lin Moyu saw clearly that the owner of the eyes was not human, but an eyeball-shaped magical treasure.
This magical treasure was very well hidden, but unfortunately it couldn't escape his notice.
"It's not aimed at me, but at Xiao Yue."
"Is this the black hand behind Xiao Yue? What is this guy's purpose?"
"I hope you don't come to provoke me!"
After knowing that there was likely no Dao Lord in Coastal City, Lin Moyu felt much more at ease.
With his trump cards, as long as no Dao Lord appeared, he really didn't need to be afraid.
Lin Moyu casually asked, "How long has Xiao Yue's grandpa been gone?"
Xiao Yue calculated the time, "Grandpa has been gone for six years."
Six years, six years ago Xiao Yue was only nine years old.
That is to say, within a year after her grandpa left, that guy made his move.
From this, it can be deduced that the target they wanted to deal with was Xiao Yue, not Xiao Yue's grandpa.
But what could be gained from dealing with a little girl who didn't even know how to cultivate?
Lin Moyu always believed that most cultivators don't act without benefit, without a purpose for profit, they wouldn't easily make a move.
Lin Moyu asked, "Why doesn't Xiao Yue cultivate?"
Xiao Yue said, "Grandpa did teach Xiao Yue cultivation, but said formal cultivation could only start after twelve years old. Xiao Yue has tried, but it had no effect."
Lin Moyu had examined Xiao Yue's body earlier and knew why she couldn't cultivate.
It was that force in Xiao Yue's body that caused Xiao Yue to be unable to cultivate.
Lin Moyu's gaze shifted slightly, and he took out another piece of roasted fish meat to give to Xiao Yue, "This is your extra reward. Now I want to go to the market in the north of the city to take a look, do you want to earn another portion of fish meat?"
Xiao Yue took the fish meat and happily called out, "Thank you sir, thank you sir!"
