“Xuexue, why are you here too?” Mo Fan asked.

“I’m worried Tianshan Mountain might be too tough for you guys. Also, I was able to achieve the Advanced Level because of the presence of the Ice Magic here. It’s useful for me,” Mu Ningxue answered.

She finally spoke normally to Mo Fan the next day. Mo Fan let out a relieved sigh.

Mu Ningxue was well aware of Mo Fan’s personality, so she was not too bothered by it…

“Tianshan Mountain is your place of blessings,” Mo Fan nodded.

Mo Fan remembered Mu Ningxue had come here alone to train herself when she was disqualified from the national team.

Mu Ningxue had never slacked off her cultivating while at Fanxue Mountain, but she still needed experience too. She had decided to tag along when she heard Mo Fan was planning to visit Tianshan Mountain.

There were not many streets in Lhasa, and they finished touring them after a while. The ancient slabs were full of markings left by the believers when they knelt and pressed their heads to the ground. The faith and dedication of the believers in Lhasa were not necessarily inferior to the believers of the Parthenon Temple.

The rain started falling out of nowhere when Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue while walking on the streets.

Known as a daylight city, Lhasa usually had sunlight for more than eight hours every day. It was rare to see a downpour start out of nowhere. The locals on the streets seemed quite pleased with it, but the vendors doing business with the tourists were annoyed.

“What’s going on? Is this daylight city turning into a downpour city instead? It’s been raining a lot more these last few days,” a vendor grumbled.

Mo Fan was buying a cup of juice for Mu Ningxue from the man. He chuckled when he heard the vendor’s complaint, “I thought the people always prayed for rain here. Shouldn’t you be happy now that it’s raining?”

“You only pray for rain when there’s a drought. The weather here is balanced. Having too much rain isn’t necessarily a good thing, do you understand? Besides, it’s very strange, since this is already the fifth rain in the last month. It’s rare for it to rain even once during this season in the past,” the vendor said sourly, glancing at Mu Ningxue, who was waiting on the street. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Lad, quite a beautiful girlfriend you got there. She looks like a fairy out of a drawing.”

“Mister, how sweet of you. How much do two of these cost?” Mo Fan asked.

“Fifty.”

“Holy c.r.a.p, why don’t you rob people instead?”

“Are you buying or leaving?”

“Watch your words, are you seriously a businessman!?”

Mo Fan bought an umbrella. He and Mu Ningxue did not want to grab too much attention by using their magic to keep the rain away. It was a rare chance for Mo Fan to walk under the rain in a beautiful foreign land with Mu Ningxue, so Mo Fan was not bothered about the umbrella, which the vendor sold him for sixty yuan.

The rain poured down heavily, and the pedestrians quickly ran to seek shelter. Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue walked along on the huge slabs. They saw a skinny figure in a monk’s robe after turning a corner. The man was on his knees praying in a certain direction, like he was expressing his grat.i.tude to the Heavens for blessing them with the rain.

He remained unmoved as the raindrops fell on him, and was not bothered by the tourists running past him.

The rain grew heavier, but the man did not rise to his feet. It felt like he had turned into a statue after he knelt on the ground and pressed his head to the ground, like time had frozen in his view.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Ningxue asked when she saw Mo Fan stopping in his tracks.

Mo Fan fixed his eyes on the man for a long time. A puddle gradually formed under his feet. The puddle was covered by a layer of darkness, but Mo Fan was actually its source.

“I don’t know, I have a strange feeling.” Mo Fan shook his head.

Mo Fan purposely took a closer look at the man as they walked past him. The man happened to turn his head around too…

The man did not lift his head after he was done praying, and was in a very strange stance. He only turned his face to the side and looked at Mo Fan from the corner of his left eye.

When Mo Fan saw the man’s face and eyes, the Dark Vein in his body started flowing rapidly. A strong chill spread inside his body before it was released from his pores.

The man stayed in the strange posture for some time while Mo Fan was staring at him. Their gazes were fixed on one another’s eyes.

Mo Fan felt his hair standing on end!

The man also seemed uneasy a few seconds later. He put his head down and returned to his initial posture.

Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue reached the end of the street, and quickly made their way to the middle sector of the main street.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Ningxue asked when she noticed Mo Fan had still not recovered from the encounter.

“I have a Dark Vein in my body. It’s something the Dark Moon Crystal gave to me. It has integrated my Dark Material and made my Shadow Element stronger. It also granted me some special abilities. One of them is the ability to predict danger,” Mo Fan told Mu Ningxue as she held his arm.

“Predict danger? That’s a great ability, what did you notice back there?” Mu Ningxue persisted.

“That man in a monk’s robe. I don’t know why, but the Dark Vein sensed a great danger from him… and he seemed to be aware of my ability to sense his aura too,” Mo Fan told her quickly.

“I didn’t sense any hostility from him toward you. Why did you think he was dangerous?” Mu Ningxue was confused.

Mo Fan and the man in a monk’s robe were acting strangely on the street, like two arch-rivals had stumbled into one another in public. The atmosphere between them was so cold that even the rain was freezing.

Yet they clearly did not know one another!

“Yeah, it’s why I’m puzzled. He wasn’t hostile toward me, but my Dark Vein kept warning me. The man seemed like he was worried that I might see through him too…” Mo Fan went.

“Is there a chance you two have met before?” Mu Ningxue asked.

“No, he’s obviously not after me. My Dark Vein is just telling me that he’s an extremely dangerous person. It’s urging me to stay away from him,” Mo Fan answered quickly.

“An extremely dangerous person…” Mu Ningxue repeated the words.

Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue continued on their way. They did not mention the man again.

Mu Ningxue wanted to visit the Sacred Palace, but it had been closed to the public recently, and the two could only walk around its perimeter. However, several wings with a sacred light suddenly appeared from the Potala Palace. The wings looked like heavenly spirits descending from the sky when they were extended fully.

Mo Fan took a closer look and saw a few Sacred Palace Mages were flying out of the Potala Palace, like there was an emergency!
