Xu Qi carefully made his way into a courtyard in the Xu Clan, where his Chief Housekeeper Xu Pingfan's room was. Seeing as the latter had been putting on a grave expression and was silent as the grave, Xu Qi said, "Don't act so stern, Uncle Mang. I'm already here; speak whatever is on your mind."
Xu Pingfan was having mixed feelings at this moment. He didn't know whether he should inform his young master about that matter or not, and sighed, "Young Master, I'm sure you've already discovered the presence of numerous experts in Rivulet City when you were making your way back. Do you perhaps know the reason why they're gathered here in Rivulet City so suddenly? Furthermore, the biggest headache are the powers each of them represent!"
Xu Qi smiled, "Who cares about the powers supporting them? As long as they're here in Rivulet City, I'll have them keep to themselves silently. Otherwise, don't blame this young master for being ruthless."
"Young Master, your rash nature is exactly what's worrying me. If you were to jump into the fray, I'm afraid you'll find yourself in endless troubles," Xu Pingfan exclaimed even more worriedly as he heard his young master's words.
"Alright, Uncle Mang. You're getting a little too worried there. You've yet to state their purpose for congregating in Rivulet City. Perhaps I won't even be interested in their goals," Xu Qi said, acting indifferent.
"Young Master, the current situation in the city is quite complicated. Even after investigating for a few days, all I've gathered is some insignificant information. The powers gathered in Rivulet City don't belong only to our nation of Mirrorlink. There are even forces from other nations, and not from only one or two of them," Xu Pingfan declared.
"Oh? Even forces from other nations were sent here, to this remote and desolate Rivulet City? Could it be that there will be something worth their attention happening here?" Xu Qi inquired.
"I'm ashamed, Young Master. Since my advancement to fifth stage Spirit Swordsman, I thought no one would be able to discover my tracks. However, my past attempts at investigating the matter were discovered just as I entered their range of perception. I had no choice but to give up in order to prevent unnecessary troubles," Xu Pingfan explained.
"Although I haven't managed to gather any key information, I overheard the general idea of their purpose in Rivulet City from another place. It seems that something important is about to born into this world near the eastern part of the city. That is why these experts have gathered in droves in Rivulet City. That was all I found out," Xu Pingfan reported.
"East of the city? Something important to be born into this world? So that was why an incredible expert was situated there," Xu Qi muttered.
Xu Qi pondered for a while, then instructed Xu Pingfan, "Uncle Mang, don't go scouting for information anymore. Stay put in the mansion instead, even if the sky starts to fall on us. I'll head over to Mo Dingtian's place now; perhaps he'll have information on the situation."
Seeing as Xu Qi gave him such a stern warning, Xu Pingfan nodded lightly, indicating that he understood.
After bidding his farewell to Xu Pingfan, Xu Qi stealthily crept over to Mosuo Auction House and found Mo Dingtian, who was tending to Mo Yan.
"Young Master Xu, you truly come and go like a shadow; disappearing for such a long time on a whim, without any news of you. Now that you've suddenly come to visit this one surnamed Mo, there must be something up?" Mo Dingtian said in reproof.
