Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 107 Searching All the Time

On the flight to Song City, Xia Lu sits beside Gao Ge, watching the cloud outside through the small window.

“After we arrive at Song City, do you need to go home?” Gao Ge asks carefully.

“No need.” Xia Lu shakes her head.

Seeing that Xia Lu is so determined, Gao Ge doesn’t keep meddling with that question anymore.

After the plane lands, Gao Ge and his squad mates check in to the hotel. Then he is totally at a loss.

They know so little about the target of the task. Even the Dragon Court doesn’t have much information.

Just as Tang Jiusi said, if they want to find the target, they must wait for him to show up.

Therefore, they cannot take any proactive action.

“So we can only keep waiting!” Gao Ge cries out, sitting on the chair in the room.

It happens that at the moment someone knocks on the door. Gao Ge stands up to open the door only to find it is Shen Mo.

Shen Mo enters the room, passing a cigarette to Gao Ge. Gao Ge waves his hand to reject the offer. Hence, Shen Mo lights up a cigarette for himself and asks, “Aren’t you a smoker?”

“Yes, I am, except that I fear your cigarette is poisonous.” Gao Ge says frankly.

Shen Mo smirks, “You are so good at talking with others. A lot of people must like you for that.”

“Yeah, I agree with you. Those who dislike me must not be human.” Gao Ge says with an innocent face.

Shen Mo’s hand, which is holding the cigarette, is slightly trembling.

He really wants to slap himself in the face.

“Why do you come to my room? Don’t you have an ashtray in your room?” Gao Ge asks.

“As I can remember, for every task, the leader will take the fund for the task, which is quite a lot.” Shen Mo says, “So didn’t Brother Tang give you the fund?”

“Yes, he did.”

“Then why did you let us live in such a small hotel?” Shen Mo is so angry with tremble. Every time he executes the task, he always lives in a 5-star hotel.

“We shall save as much as we can! After all I can’t let you live the guest house.”

Shen Mo wants to leave here.

What an asshole!

He even wants to embezzle the money of the Dragon Court!

“Okay. Tell me, what’s the occasion?” Gao Ge says bluntly while opening the window.

Shen Mo is angry again.

Does he even fear that the smoke is poisonous?

“Even though you are the leader for this action, you haven’t executed any task of the Dragon Court yet, right?” Looking at Gao Ge, Shen Mo says slowly.

Gao Ge nods his head.

“Hence, I hope that you don’t randomly give orders.” Shen Mo says smilingly.

Gao Ge blinks his eyes, “I thought you came here to ask me to let you be the commander.”

“I am not Wang Zhe. If it were not that I reacted fast, he would be killed by Tang Jiusi.” Shen Mo says with a sneer, “The Dragon Court’s decision is unquestionable to us.”

Gao Ge wipes the sweat on his forehead.

No wonder Shen Mo’s reaction was so fierce in the office.

It turns out that he feared death!

Gao Ge thought Shen Mo was so brave before...

At the moment, Gao Ge suddenly feels being tricked.

“This is not the first time I have executed the task. Thus, compared with you, I can manage this with ease.” Shen Mo says smilingly, “Metaphorically speaking, you are like a landlubber while I am a like agile swimmer. Do you understand what I mean?”

Gao Ge remains silent for quite a while and then asks softly, “Are you trying to tell me that those who are drowned all can swim?”

Shen Mo puts out the cigarette and stands up, glimpsing at Gao Ge and saying, “Decayed wood cannot be carved.” Then he turns away.

Gao Ge really wants to stop Shen Mo and discusses with him about the issue–whether the decayed wood wants to be carved. However, he finds it too silly to talk about that so he chooses to let it go.

Not for a while after Shen Mo left, Xia Lu comes by.

They live just next to each other.

“Why did Shen Mo come here just now?” Xia Lu asks after having a seat.

Gao Ge thinks about it carefully and shakes his head, “I don’t know either.”

Xia Lu’s look becomes a bit weird.

Gao Ge waves his hand, “After he came here, he kept hinting to me. However, I just can’t take his hint.”

Xia Lu doesn’t say anything.

“Yet, I really wonder why you don’t go home.”

Xia Lu puts on a long face, “This is not the first time you have asked me the question.”

“But you never answer me!” Gao Ge says.

“Since I don’t answer, why do you keep asking?”

Gao Ge can only keep silent.

“If there is nothing else you want to do, let’s start off.” Xia Lu says.

Feeling a bit surprised, Gao Ge asks, “Where are we going?”

“To find our target.” After saying that, Xia Lu pulls the door open and walks out.

Without hesitation, Gao Ge hastens to follow behind her.

After they walk out of the hotel, he asks, “Do you know where the target is?”

“I have got some clues.” Xia Lu says calmly.

In Gao Ge’s view, Xia Lu is quite reliable.

Apart from that, Song City is Xia Lu’s place, where she may have her own information network.

When they get in a taxi, Xia Lu tells the driver a place, which sounds like a bar’s name. It makes Gao Ge even more perplexed.

Is the girl in such a bad mood that she wants to have a good time in the bar? Yet, it is not necessary anyhow. They were in the hotel before...

Of course, he can only think about that but never dares to say it to her.

After all, he is not that brave.

When they arrive at the destination, Gao Ge stands at the door to look around for a while. He doesn’t feel anything special about the place named Great Wave Bar.

He follows Xia Lu into the bar. Probably because it’s not about time and the bar is just opened, not many customers are in there.

The Great Wave Bar is actually a pub. It’s not the first time that Gao Ge has been to a bar, so he is quite familiar with such a place. He asks for a booth and then sits down with Xia Lu.

“Tell me. Why do you take me here?” Gao Ge says, “If it’s because you are in a bad mood, I can have drinks with you.”

Xia Lu stares at him with a complex look, asking, “Do you think I am that bored?”

Gao Ge doesn’t feel embarrassed for his asking for a snub.

After all, he is unbelievably cheeky.

“It is said that our target used to work here and make a mess right here.” Xia Lu says.

Gao Ge takes a tumble and identifies his previous thoughts.

“The D-grade target is named Mo Ran, who is 22 years old. He used to work here as a waiter and had a girlfriend.” Xia Lu says.

“These are all the information you have got?”

“Yes.”

“When did you get it?” Gao Ge asks.

“It’s none of your business. Yet, I don’t know much about Mo Ran. We are on our own if we want to find out more about him.” Xia Lu says with a confused look, “Moreover, since he stays in Song City all the time, he must not be hiding from something, but searching for something...”

“Has he been searching for his beloved?” Gao Ge asks.

Xia Lu is speechless for a moment and then says with a sigh, “If you don’t want to be disturbed by the commercial while watching videos online, just buy a membership package. You are seriously poisoned by the commercials now.”
