“Why are you here?” Ye Mo went to the meeting room and saw Han Yan sitting there anxiously. She was at the black level stage and should be with her sect. Although he didn’t know why she had come, he realized she must have something important to say.

Seeing Ye Mo walk in, Han Yan immediately got up. Her expression uneasy, she said, “Brother Ye, my grandpa sent me to ask if you need help. If you do, just call him. Whether it’s military or financial support, he can help you handle things in the country.”

Although he knew Elder Han meant weapons, not armies, Ye Mo was still grateful. The offer of help meant he truly considered him a friend. Even with Elder Han’s important status in the Chinese military, it was still a lot of pressure for him to say this.

Ye Mo told Han Yan to sit down and said, “Thank Elder Han for me. I don’t need any help now, but if I do, I won’t hesitate to ask. But why are you so uneasy? I haven’t asked Elder Han for help yet.”

Han Yan waved her hand. “It’s not that. That was just my grandpa’s message. I want you to help me with something else.”

Then, Han Yan said hesitantly, “My sect no longer has the conditions to train due to pollution. My master is very troubled. It’s very hard to relocate, especially among hidden sects.”

“Pollution?” Ye Mo found it odd. He’d been to many hidden sects, such as Serenity or Dian Cang, and those places were very hidden and far away. Pollution shouldn’t reach them.

Han Yan nodded. “En. There’s a silver mine near us, being dug up now, and the pollution is flowing upstream. A foreign paper-making factory is releasing large amounts of waste and cutting down many trees nearby. Because of that, our environment is getting worse.”

Han Yan looked up. “Brother Ye, this place is yours now, and it’s so pretty. Can we move here?”

“You want to move to Luo Yue?” Ye Mo looked surprised. Hidden sects usually needed to remain hidden. Although Luo Yue had a nice natural environment, more people would come over time. Then it wouldn’t be hidden anymore.

“En.” Han Yan nodded. “I haven’t told my master, but seeing his worries, I came to ask you first. If you agree, I’ll tell him. He just wants a quiet place; he doesn’t really care if it’s hidden. I fell in love with this place, and I think he will too.”

Ye Mo smiled. “Luo Yue has a small population but a lot of land. Of course, I welcome you. I’ll find someone to show you around. If you like it, find a quiet place and settle. I’ll ask Sister Yuehua to help.”

Han Yan excitedly stood up. “Thank you, Brother Ye! I still have money from the tournament. I can build our own place with it. I’ll discuss this with my master and then talk to you again.

By the way, Brother Ye, my grandpa also found the rest of the Space Flower blueprints. They’re supposedly at a base in Taiwan. The Americans also know and are trying to get them,” Han Yan said.

“Did your grandpa send people to get them?” Ye Mo asked, frowning.

Han Yan shook her head. “Not yet, but he will soon. My grandpa said if you’re interested, you can go together, but if you’re too busy, never mind.”

Ye Mo got up, looked at Han Yan, and said, “Han Yan, I won’t lie. If your grandpa trusts me, tell him not to look for that blueprint. Even if he finds it, it would be useless. Moreover, it can’t be found easily. People would only get hurt; there’s no need.”

“Why?” Han Yan asked in confusion. Ye Mo had seemed willing to help find the blueprint before.

Ye Mo shook his head and didn’t answer.

Han Yan was a bit disappointed, but she knew that if Ye Mo could answer, he would. Since he didn’t, it meant he had his concerns. She would just take his words back.

Although he couldn’t answer that, Ye Mo found Sancai and told him to accompany Han Yan. Sancai had been Lang Ji’s man and followed Li Sandao after Lang Ji died.

…

After Han Yan left, Ye Mo contemplated. Since Han Yan’s sect was willing to come to Luo Yue, what about other hidden sects? Luo Yue had plenty of land, and more people would be better. Ye Mo wouldn’t reject sects wanting to come.

Ye Mo was grateful for Elder Han’s goodwill. He’d surely heard the news about Luo Yue recently and still offered help.

Ye Mo wasn’t going to intervene with the blueprint anymore. Ye Xing had designed it and was already there. If he had enough time, he could design it again. Furthermore, the critical flaw of the blueprint was the need for an Extreme Energy Stone. Without it, it couldn’t be operated.

No matter how advanced, if it couldn’t be operated, it would be a waste of time. Even with Han Zaixin, telling him Ye Xing had designed the Space Flower and was in Luo Yue would harm both Ye Xing and Luo Yue.

He’d already warned Han Zaixin. If he didn’t believe him, there was nothing he could do.

…

With Sancai’s guidance, Han Yan found a place she liked after a few days and named it Guang Han Mountain after her sect, the Guang Han sect.

As soon as she left, new people arrived. This time it was the Blue Ray Corporation from South Africa, a renowned mercenary company.

Ye Mo saw two people entering the guest hall. One was a white-faced man under 40, well-dressed, but his eyes made Ye Mo uncomfortable—they were shifty. The second was a young woman in her 20s with blonde hair, blue eyes, and good skin.

“Mr. Ye, hello. I’m Dongfang Tang, and this is my assistant, Shana. I’ve heard of you and your power, but I didn’t expect you to be so young. It’s my honor to meet you,” the man said in fluent Chinese. Ye Mo could tell he was Chinese.

Dongfang Tang? Ye Mo immediately thought of Dongfang Xi; he felt the two men had something in common.

“Mr. Ye, greetings. I’m Shana. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” her Chinese wasn’t fluent and had a Western accent.

“Please have a seat.” Ye Mo pointed at a chair but didn’t shake hands.

Dongfang Tang’s face went stiff, but he quickly recovered and sat down as if nothing had happened. Shana was momentarily dazed. She thought Ye Mo was impolite, but she wasn’t in charge of negotiations, so she said nothing.

Ye Mo had seen the change in Dongfang Tang’s expression. It was brief, but it didn’t escape his spirit sense. Ye Mo wasn’t sure if he was related to Dongfang Xi, but he was sure he wasn’t someone easy to deal with.

Seeing Ye Mo sit down without saying anything, Dongfang Tang grinned and said, “Mr. Ye, I represent Blue Ray Corporation to discuss business with you.”

Ye Mo said plainly, “Blue Ray Corporation? Never heard of it.”
