1634 Love At First Sigh Translated by XephiZ

Edited by Aelryinth

The incident calmed down quickly since there were no casualties. Xinxia called Mo Fan early in the morning the next day to ask about it. Mo Fan conveniently accused Tata of not treating his warning seriously.

“Brother Mo Fan, it’s a relief that you and your friends were there…” Xinxia was utterly clueless about Mo Fan’s attempt to warn her. She was currently in England, and due to the time difference, she was asleep by the time Mo Fan called her. Tata did not tell her about the call, either, so she only knew what had happened when she saw the news the following day. She was relieved that there were no injuries.

“You should get another phone, with only my number in it.” Mo Fan was extremely annoyed by Tata’s intervention.

“Sure, Brother Mo Fan, stay a few more days in Athens. I’ll be going back once I’m done with my stuff here. I’ll invite your friends to the Mountain of the Goddess to express my gratitude,” Xinxia agreed cheerfully.

“Oh, that won’t be necessary. Speaking of which, will someone dying in the incident affect you? I mean the election,” Mo Fan asked.

“Athens’ safety is indeed part of my responsibilities, but the problem is that the Hall of Knights doesn’t take orders from me directly, especially when it comes to protecting the city. Tata didn’t ignore your call on purpose, it’s just that she knew telling me wouldn’t make any difference. The Hall of Knights will only treat a matter seriously if there’s enough evidence to prove it is a threat… therefore, in a situation like this, I can only ask the people that are supporting me behind the scenes for help. As for the Hall of Knights…” Xinxia trailed off.

Mo Fan could easily sense how helpless Xinxia felt.

Xinxia was an outsider in the Parthenon Temple. She did not have many connections, nor a strong background. The authorities of the Parthenon Temple were currently doing things their own ways, and were hesitant to clarify which Candidate they were supporting.

As a result, the Candidates could only rely on their external influence to convince the internal authorities of the Parthenon Temple, hence why Xinxia and Izisha had been focusing on obtaining support from other countries recently.

“I’m sorry to hear that,” Mo Fan sighed.

Mo Fan was constantly worrying about Xinxia after he agreed to let her stay at the Parthenon Temple. It was extremely difficult for someone like Xinxia, who had grown up in China, to obtain support from the old cunning foxes in the Parthenon Temple. If the people had not been suspicious of Izisha’s resurrection and the chaos she had brought upon the Parthenon Temple recently, there was no chance Xinxia, who had appeared out of nowhere, would have stood a chance in the election. Izisha could have easily crushed her with her connections alone!

Mo Fan only knew that apart from Haylon, the Hall Master of the Hall of Knights, who had clearly indicated that he was supporting Xinxia, the others holding key positions in the Parthenon Temple were similar to a military clique, and could not afford to offend any of the Candidates.

The problem was that, even though Haylon was the Hall Master, the Hall of Knights had a very complicated structure, too. Different knights were appointed to different Muses and Servants. Meanwhile, the Blue Star Knights, Silver Moon Knights, and Golden Sun Knights had their own leaders. Haylon was in a situation similar to Xinxia. Not everyone in the Hall of Knights necessarily took orders from him, despite his position.

Haylon was now Xinxia’s trump card. She did not want Haylon to publicly declare his stance until the situation became clearer, thus allowing Haylon to observe and pull strings behind the scenes in Xinxia’s favor. Otherwise, knowing Izisha, once Haylon declared his stance, she would do everything she could to impeach him. There were many people in the Parthenon Temple waiting to replace him!

Mo Fan was not very familiar with the complicated situation of the Parthenon Temple, but he was sure about one thing: Xinxia would be held responsible if the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan had killed a lot of people in West Athens!

If a Candidate could not even guarantee the city’s safety, she would immediately lose a lot of support and become the object of derision from the other Candidates.

After chatting with Xinxia, Mo Fan began to wonder if the Tyrant Titan’s heart was another one of Izisha’s conspiracies.

However, after asking Tata about it, the old woman stated that even though Izisha was the kind of ruler that would use all kinds of tricks to guarantee her status, she was a true protector of Athens. She would not treat the blood of her people as a red carpet leading to her throne.

“Brother Mo Fan, let’s not assume Izisha is behind it. I don’t think she would do something like that. It would not help her. Asha’ruiya is also a Candidate, apart from us. She would be dooming herself if she did something like that!” Xinxia said.

“Fine, I guess I’m worrying too much about it,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan paid Zhao Manyan a visit that afternoon. Zhao Manyan’s injuries were a lot more serious than he had thought. A Servant of the Parthenon Temple had come to treat him, yet he still had not recovered.

Mo Fan received a call from Mui Nuxin when the sky was about to darken. He had nothing better to do, so he gladly accepted her invitation.

“Mu Bai, are you sure you don’t want to go? Mui Nuxin is a great beauty, I can introduce her to you…” Mo Fan urged him.

“That only works on Zhao Manyan. If you tell him that, he would go with you even if he was limping. I’m planning to go to the auctions or look around at the marketplace to see if I can find anything useful for my breakthrough,” Mu Bai answered.

“You shouldn’t rush it. We’ll figure out a way together. I’ll try and ask around to see if there are any suitable resources for you,” Mo Fan said.

“I doubt it’s going to be easy looking for them?” Mu Bai said.

“It’s not going to be easy if you look for them yourself. Don’t forget that you still have Fanxue Mountain behind you,” Mo Fan reminded him.

“Well… it’s my own cultivation, I shouldn’t rely on Fanxue Mountain’s resources, it’s still growing…” Mu Bai said.

“You are now a member of Fanxue Mountain. Once you achieve the Super Level, you are going to play an important role. Don’t be shy; that Mui Nuxin is the Mui Clan’s treasurer! She’s also an important business partner of our Fanxue Mountain. It won’t be a waste of your time. Perhaps we might even ask her for help to look for the resources you need,” Mo Fan suggested.

“Alright,” Mu Bai finally nodded.

Mu Bai also knew how difficult it would be for him to attempt the breakthrough on his own. He had already had a few goes at it, but it felt like he was only getting himself badly bruised. He had to rest up for a long time before the next attempt.

He had nothing useful to use for now. Any artifacts or springs that could help him recover a bit quicker would definitely speed the process up!

He was fortunate to have even probed the Super Level. If he did not take hold of the opportunity, he would lose it soon! The chance only occurred once in a blue moon. He had to seize the opportunity while he could!

Mo Fan invited Heidi along, too. Brianca was still recovering from her injuries, and did not come along.

They arrived at the highest floor of the building, which had a spectacular view from the window. They could easily enjoy the night view of Athens. Mo Fan had noticed that wealthy people like Mui Nuxin and Zhao Manyan were quite fussy about the environment of restaurants. Mo Fan always felt like his eyes widened on their own when seeing the places they invited him to. If he had to make the decision, he would most likely have ended up in a pizza shop at the corner of a street!

The waiter ushered the group of four to a table with an excellent view. Mo Fan glanced at the table and saw a glamorous woman seated beside Mui Nuxin.

The woman was listening attentively to Mui Nuxin. Her eyebrows were long and elegant. Mo Fan could see her tender, pale skin through the curtain of water. She was wearing a black dress, her collar bones slightly revealed from her posture. Her smooth shoulders were exceedingly alluring…

Mo Fan kept staring at the woman as he approached the table. It was his first time being so attracted to a woman’s shoulders. Normally, he would be staring at their bust, but not this time. Most people would have some moles or blackheads on their skin, but the woman’s skin was in perfect condition!

“What did I tell you? You can’t regret coming with me. The girl sitting beside Mui Nuxin is pretty hot!” Mo Fan said.

“She looks a little familiar,” Mu Bai said.

“Yeah, I find every good-looking girl familiar too,” Mo Fan laughed. He was obviously in a good mood.

The group went over to the table that Mui Nuxin had reserved. Mui Nuxin received them with a smile and invited them to take their seats with a polite gesture.

“Aren’t you going to introduce this gorgeous lady to us first…” Mo Fan said mischievously looked at the woman he found interesting.

Mui Nuxin was stunned.

The woman in a black dress slowly turned around, revealing her face. Her eyes were like a pair of black gems, looking at Mo Fan.

Her long hair was tied up with a red headscarf. Mo Fan only then noticed that her hair was as silver-white as snow!

When Mo Fan saw her face, he opened his mouth so wide that it could hold an entire plate in it.

Mui Nuxin giggled when she saw Mo Fan’s reaction. She inquired after a moment, “Do I still need to introduce her to you?”

“Well…(cough cough!), I was wondering why I felt like I was shot by Cupid when I saw you. Xuexue, when did you come to Athens? Mui Nuxin, why didn’t you tell me she was here? Ah, allow me to introduce you, this is Mu Bai,” it was impossible to describe Mo Fan’s expression in a word or two.

“I know him,” Mu Ningxue said expressionlessly.

“Ah, this, this is…” Mo Fan pointed at Apas, who was very close to him.

Apas and Mo Fan were standing closer than normal acquaintances. Mo Fan could already sense Mu Ningxue’s icy gaze. He was suddenly lost for words when he tried to explain who Apas was.

Would Mu Ningxue believe him if he told her Apas was his Contracted Beast?
