Revelation of the Way of Heaven

"Were your two companions also from Wudang Mountain?" Qin Xiaochuan asked Guo Shiyi again.

Guo Shiyi nodded and said, "Yes, they are the real demon hunters. I'm usually only called on occasionally, while they are always on missions. Right now, they should be searching for Mo Yu's whereabouts."

"By the way, speaking of Mo Yu, how much do you know about him?"

Guo Shiyi looked at him curiously, "What's wrong? Is your adventure club interested in him too?"

"That's right. Although we didn't find the treasure in the church last time, based on the information we have, the treasure's whereabouts are likely related to Mo Yu and his father, so we need to find him to find out more about the situation."

Guo Shiyi frowned upon hearing his words: "Do you really have to find these treasures?"

"That's right." Qin Xiaochuan nodded and said, "Because there's something among these treasures that's very important to us."

"I didn't mean anything by it." Guo Shiyi didn't ask what it was. "I just wanted to remind you that the defector Mo Yu is very strong, so you'd better be careful when you look for him."

"We'll be careful," Qin Xiaochuan grinned.

"Actually, my understanding of Mo Yu's situation is limited. I only know that after his parents were killed by vampires ten years ago, Mo Yu went to Mount Emei to cultivate. Two years later, he became a demon hunter. After that, he hunted down vampires everywhere until three years ago when he was arrested for killing other demon hunters and imprisoned in Prison No. 7."

"Prison No. 7?" He looked at Guo Shiyi in confusion.

"That's a special prison, a prison specifically for people with superpowers."

He nodded to indicate that he understood, and Guo Shiyi continued, "Not long ago, Mo Yu suddenly escaped from Prison No. 7, and we received orders to arrest him." After saying that, she shrugged and said, "That's all the information I have."

"Yes, that's quite detailed." Qin Xiaochuan smiled at her. "If you get any news about Mo Yu, please let us know too."

"Mm." Guo Shiyi nodded.

"Could you please give me your phone number so we can keep in touch?" he said with a smile.

Guo Shiyi seemed a little embarrassed, but she still gave him her number in the end. After Qin Xiaochuan saved the number, she said, "Actually, if you really want to find Mo Yu's whereabouts quickly, you can go to a certain place to inquire."

Upon hearing that there was a clue, Qin Xiaochuan immediately asked excitedly, "Where?"

"Grey Bar," Guo Shiyi said seriously.

"What place is that?"

"That's where people with superpowers trade information. They can spend some money there to buy the information they want, and it's also a place to post and accept missions."

"Issue a mission?" He looked at Guo Shiyi curiously.

"You really are a newbie, you don't know anything at all." Guo Shiyi looked at him helplessly.

He could only laugh awkwardly and say, "I only learned about the existence of spiritual power after I went to university; otherwise, I was basically clueless."

Guo Shiyi didn't mind and patiently explained to him, "Because in recent years the country has been recruiting a group of people for pilot programs of spiritual power cultivation, more and more people with superpowers have begun to appear. It's just that there aren't many jobs suitable for these people with superpowers in today's society, so some people have to find part-time jobs to earn money."

Guo Shiyi paused for a moment, then continued, "The Gray Hotel is the intermediary for these part-time jobs, specializing in accepting special positions and tasks for these people with superpowers."

"I never imagined there was such an interesting place. Even if it weren't for finding information about Mo Yu, I would still want to go and see it." Qin Xiaochuan was full of curiosity.

"Yes, me too." Guo Shiyi nodded as well.

"Oh, you haven't been there either?"

"Yeah, because I'm not an adult yet, I can't go to bars. Every time Jiang Han and Su Lie go to investigate clues, they don't take me with them," Guo Shiyi said with dissatisfaction.

Qin Xiaochuan looked at her speechlessly. He had to admit that this little girl was really cute when she showed her dissatisfaction.

"How about we go check out a bar together?" Guo Shiyi suddenly suggested with a smile.

"Huh?" He looked at the other person in surprise. "But aren't you underage yet?"

"Are you an adult?" she asked instead of answering.

"Of course I'm an adult."

"That's fine then. We're not going in to drink, we're going in to gather intelligence," she said with a grin.

"That's not a good idea. After all, Jiang Han and the others didn't bring you into the bar. If they find out I brought you in, they'll definitely blame me."

"They won't take me in because they don't understand my curiosity. Don't you understand my curiosity either?"

He naturally understood, because he himself was also eager to go to the gray bar to find out what was going on.

But he felt it was inappropriate to bring a minor like her into a bar, yet he couldn't find a reason to refuse her.

"Alright, stop hesitating. I've already given you such a crucial clue, and now you won't even take me to a bar." Guo Shiyi's expression of dissatisfaction resurfaced.

Seeing her expression, Qin Xiaochuan was at a loss for words and quickly said, "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just..."

"Since you're willing, let's set off now." Guo Shiyi didn't even wait for him to finish speaking before cheerfully agreeing for him.

"Alright then." Qin Xiaochuan didn't insist, because his heart was also restless, so he was 'forced' to agree.

"But I'll have to put the book back in my dorm first," Guo Shiyi said with a smile, shaking the book in her hand.

He accompanied her to her dormitory building, and after she put her books back, the two of them took the school bus to the school gate, and then took a taxi to the Grey Bar.

About twenty minutes later, they arrived at the Gray Bar in Xuanwu District. The entire facade of the Gray Bar was painted gray, hidden among several restaurants, making it very low-key.

Stepping into the Grey Bar, the interior is also decorated entirely in cool colors. Unlike other noisy bars, the Grey Bar has a quiet and lazy atmosphere. There is no dance floor in the bar, only a few elegantly decorated seats and private rooms, where a few customers are sitting and slowly enjoying their drinks.

The bar counter was located on the right side near the door. Perhaps because there weren't many customers yet, there was only one server at the counter. Inside the counter, against the wall, there was a staircase with a sign that read: "Special Area, No Unauthorized Personnel Allowed." Qin Xiaochuan guessed that the upstairs area was where tasks were posted and accepted.

He wasn't sure if he should go straight upstairs. But he wasn't there to issue or receive a mission, so going up seemed inappropriate. He walked toward the only waiter at the bar, intending to ask him first.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" While he was still thinking about how to phrase his question to the waiter, the waiter spoke to him first, as if he were talking to an acquaintance, which immediately made his awkwardness disappear without a trace.

What a competent waiter, he thought. Seeing the waiter's slight smile, he said directly, "Actually, we're not here to drink. We're here to get some information from you."

"We don't just sell alcohol here," the waiter said with a smile. "What kind of information are you looking for?"

"Where is the defector Mo Yu?" Guo Shiyi stepped forward and asked.

Her voice wasn't loud, but in the quiet bar, quite a few people could still hear her. After she finished speaking, several people in the bar immediately looked up at them.

"We don't have that information either." The waiter shook his head apologetically. "Actually, we're trying to acquire that information right now, because someone has already offered a high price to post this task with us."
