Chapter 271: First courtesy, then force
Facing Zhou Minhao's question, Xia Mo remained calm. She and Teacher Daye had already discussed a countermeasure before coming to Kunshan.

"I have been there." Xia Mo said
Zhou Minhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Xia Mo was an honest person with an open mind.

After a little thought, Zhou Minhao asked carefully.

"Then how did you discover the Bronze City?"

"Hunter website."

"Hunter website?"

"That's right." Xia Mo nodded, and said sharply, "Comrade Zhou Minhao, do you know why I joined Kassel College?"

"It's no secret that Kassel College often recruits talents from all over the world. Kassel College discovered you as a good talent before us, and it was expected that they would invite you to join. And you joined Kassel College, um, because the secret party offered a generous price?" Zhou Minhao tried to say.

According to intelligence, Xia Mo and Xia Mi had been living a very difficult life before.

"No, that's not right." Xia Mo said seriously, "I didn't join Kassel College for power and status, and certainly not for a scholarship."

"I do have an ambition to slay dragons. You can ask Principal Angers about this. As the most staunch dragon exterminationist, I don't think his position on dragon slaying will be doubted. And I, Xia Mo, have received his high recognition." Xia Mo puffed out her chest with pride.

Zhou Minhao was silent. He looked at Xia Mo's sincere face and it didn't look like she was lying at all.

After all, Xia Mo had told others about her lofty ideals more than once, and over time, she almost believed it herself.

"Therefore, I was not idle during the holidays. I looked for information about the Dragon King, and used the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill purchased from the Hunter website to reasonably and scientifically infer the whereabouts of the tomb of the Bronze and Fire King. If you don't believe it, I still have the invoice for the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill." Xia Mo said.

Zhou Minhao tilted his head. There were so many things to complain about that he didn't know where to start. He rubbed his brow and asked.

"Does your...school know about this?"

"I'm writing a report."

"Okay. Then how did you get into the Bronze City? It is buried dozens of meters underground."

"When I went there, the Bronze City had not sunk dozens of meters underground. If you could get the geographical survey report of Kuimen, you should know that there was a small-scale earthquake before, and the cracks at the bottom of the river might have shaken out the Bronze City."

"Later, I accidentally triggered some mechanism and fled from the Bronze City in a hurry. When I looked back, I saw the Bronze City sinking back into the cracks. You must have been able to feel the vibration in Baidi City," Xia Mo explained.

Zhou Minhao pondered. Xia Mo's explanation seemed to make sense, so he asked.

"What did you see in Bronze City? Did you take anything out? If the secret party asks for confidentiality, I won't force it."

"Don't worry, I haven't reported it to the academy yet. I can't describe the interior of the Bronze City in words. It's beyond my imagination. After all, it's a dragon civilization, and I can't understand it." Xia Mo said honestly.

"As for whether or not we brought anything with us, we didn't even have time to escape."

"I see." Zhou Minhao nodded.

As to whether Xia Mo's statement was true, Zhou Minhao could only guess. He couldn't force a body search, and surveillance wouldn't work either. With Xia Mo's skills, ordinary surveillance wouldn't be able to hide it from others, and that would arouse suspicion.

Zhou Minhao is very open-minded and he wants to express two points this time.

First, he and Xia Mo are not enemies, but comrades in the cause of slaying the dragon. Without excessive conspiracy theories and suspicions, they can work together.

Secondly, Zhou Minhao represents the Zhou family's attitude. The Dragon Lord matter is of great importance. It will make the aristocratic families who are good at fighting among themselves unite to face the outside world together and work as one. He hopes Xia Mo will not hide it.

Zhou Minhao is a young man with little influence. He just needs to do his job well and live up to his family's cultivation of him. Let Lord Wa and the others worry about what happens next.

Afterwards, Zhou Minhao and Xia Mo chatted for a while, and the topic shifted from business to the scenery of Kunshan. Since they were here, they should make the best of it. It wouldn't be too late to go back after a few days. Xia Mo agreed. She had two plans.

If Zhou Minhao is the typical villain and someone wants to capture her, Xia Mo is no pushover. With two top fighters, Eri, Genji and Chitose, it will be no problem for them to knock Zhou Minhao out.

Furthermore, since Xia Mo joined Kassel College, she should have used her connections to save others at a critical moment, otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste of time to join?
Xia Mo hoped it would be the second situation, just like now, although there was a faint threat, both the host and the guests were having a good time and chatting and laughing.

The matter of Bronze City came to an end for the time being. Xia Mo's intuition told her that Zhou Minhao was just a small figure, and she would meet the core members of the Zhou family in the future. After all, she had not revealed anything that would satisfy them.

Is this a case of using courtesy before force? Xia Mo thought, a person who is particular about others.

But by then the academy should have known about it and would have protected Xia Mo.

The reason why Xia Mo did not report to Angers immediately was also because of Constantine. The most important cocoon and the seven deadly sins in the Bronze City were obtained. It didn't matter if the academy knew about it, but it was not easy to hide Constantine, a living person.

Xia Mo and Xia Mi discussed and decided to let Constantine keep Fenrir company. Since one is a brother-con and the other is a sister-con, they will have common topics.

After leaving the teahouse, Xia Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be no trouble in the next few days. She would accept the kindness of others and stay in Kunshan for a few days and buy some local snacks for Teacher Daye to take home.

Eri has been to many places, including the capital, Baidi City and Kunshan.

Zhou Minhao's idea was similar to Xia Mo's. He reported his work to Lord Wa. Lord Wa disliked that Zhou Minhao only talked a lot and just listened to what he said, but did not make things difficult for Zhou Minhao.

It seems that it is up to her, the Lord Nuwa, to take action. I just don’t know if her sexy little tail will scare people.

In view of the temper of the elders in her family, Lord Wa decided that the matter of Bronze City should be known to only a few people for the time being, otherwise it would cause the mixed-blood families in the country to hold a conference for many days, and she would be forced to participate.

These people clearly had not entered and controlled the Bronze City, but they began bargaining and discussing how to divide the spoils.

Trouble, headache.

It’s better to play StarCraft.

This is what Lord Wa commented.

……

"Hello." Jiang Wanzhi waved his hand and greeted with a smile.

Huili glanced at Jiang Wanzhi, then turned to look at Xia Mo.

"Who is she?" There was something in Eri's eyes.

"Sister Jiang, a famous wealthy woman in Kunshan." Xia Mo introduced.

"The term 'rich woman' is usually used to describe single women, but I have a husband," said Jiang Wanzhi.

Upon hearing this, Eri walked forward and gently shook hands with Jiang Wanzhi to show her goodwill.

Sister Jiang, beautiful woman, cross out.

Sister Jiang, a beautiful woman, but she is married, has someone in her heart, and is safe, so it’s a good choice.

This is how Eri judges people.
