Wu Mo Saves the Day?

"What? Is Treasure Pavilion planning to admit defeat before the competition even begins?"

Seeing how arrogant the people from Unique Treasure Pavilion were, the blacksmiths and security guards in Treasure Pavilion clenched their fists tightly. They wished that they could beat this group of people to the ground right now, but the strength that their opponent displayed far surpassed theirs.

Whether it was forging technique or spirit energy, Treasure Pavilion had been surpassed. It was already an indisputable fact.

Gao Yue's face was pale, and his expression was filled with disappointment. He could only place his hopes on Mr. Wu now. He hoped that Wu Mo could save the precious Treasure Pavilion from danger!

At that moment, Wu Mo, who had just walked out of the academy, felt an itch in his nose.

"Achoo..."

He could not help but sneeze, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

"The difference in temperature between day and night these two days has been quite big. Have I caught a cold?"

Touching his nose, Wu Mo muttered to himself.

He had left the academy to make a trip to Treasure Pavilion. He wanted to take on another job. He wanted to pay off his external debt first, and then earn the rest of the payment for the materials.

However, after he walked a dozen meters, he saw a few people running off into the distance together.

"Let's go! There's a good show to watch on Changxi Street!"

"I heard that the chamber of commerce near the academy, Treasure Pavilion, is going to compete with Unique Treasure Hall in forging techniques. It'll be too late by the time we get there!"

"Yeah, I also heard that Unique Treasure Hall is bringing out Premium-grade equipment to win the competition. Let's go and broaden our horizons!"

The few of them quickly passed by Wu Mo, and the sounds of their discussion drifted into Wu Mo's ears.

Wu Mo frowned slightly. He was a little surprised too.

Was Treasure Pavilion not the most famous chamber of commerce in Shanglin City? Why would they have a commercial competition with someone?

He did not quite understand, but he immediately quickened his pace. He wanted to see what was going on.

Ultimately, he would have to rely on Treasure Pavilion to buy materials in the future. Besides, he was also its special consultant, so he had to pay attention to the matter.

A few minutes later, Wu Mo arrived at Changxi Street. As soon as he turned into the street, he was shocked by the huge crowd there.

He could see that a lot of people were gathered around Treasure Pavilion to watch a show, and they almost blocked the main gate.

One could say that tens of thousands of people were on the scene.

If Wu Mo had not heard about it in advance, he would have thought that some big star had made an appearance.

Just as he was in a daze, the cell phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and saw that the caller ID showed it was Manager Gao, whom he was thinking about earlier!

"It looks like something has happened. I have to hurry over."

Seeing this, Wu Mo immediately understood that Treasure Pavilion must have encountered a problem. Moreover, it was so troublesome that even Gao Yue could not solve it. They had to call him to ask for help.

However, because the noise outside was too loud, Wu Mo did not pick up his phone. Instead, he directly squeezed through the crowd.

Half a minute later, he passed through the crowd of onlookers and arrived at the center of the incident.

Wu Mo saw several broadcasting vehicles and many reporters carrying cameras around. He could not help but feel puzzled.

It was likely that this Unique Treasure Hall had not come with good intentions. If it was just an ordinary friendly competition, they would not have made such a big scene.

At that moment, he saw dozens of people gathered at Treasure Pavilion's entrance. Moreover, nearly ten of them were blacksmiths. The atmosphere between the two sides was tense. It was apparent that they did not intend to be friendly.

Among the crowd of people from Unique Treasure Hall, Wu Mo also saw Wei Jiaming, who had an arrogant look on his face, as well as the leader of the group, who had five stars embroidered on his chest.

'A five-star blacksmith? There's actually such a strong person in Unique Treasure Hall!' Wu Mo subconsciously said in his heart.

Then, he immediately crawled out of the crowd and walked toward Gao Yue.

Gao Yue was currently as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. In the face of Unique Treasure Hall's provocation, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

However, this could not go on. After all, with more than ten cameras pointing at him, his every move would represent Treasure Pavilion's face and reputation.

If he made a move to avoid the fight, it would probably damage his chamber of commerce's reputation. Unfortunately, the other party had already brought out Premium-grade equipment, and his precious Treasure Pavilion could not defeat them.

Even his only hope, the call to Mr. Wu, had been rejected. At this point, Gao Yue's heart was about to turn cold.

Just as he was feeling dejected, he saw a young man in a gray robe walking quickly toward him out of the corner of his eye.

Gao Yue subconsciously turned his head to look. When he saw the person, the nervousness and anxiety in his heart immediately turned into joy and excitement!

"Mr. Wu, you're finally here!"

Gao Yue hurried toward Wu Mo, cupping his hands with an excited expression.

When the surrounding spectators and people of Unique Treasure Hall saw Manager Wu's sudden attitude change, they instantly turned their attention to Wu Mo. 

For a moment, the spectators in the periphery were puzzled. This person did not look outstanding. He was just a slightly younger four-star blacksmith. Why was Manager Wu so respectful toward him?

Most of the people in Treasure Pavilion were not familiar with Wu Mo. Right then, they began to guess the young man's identity.

"It's him!" Wei Jiaming, who was standing behind the crowd, shouted angrily.

He pointed in Wu Mo's direction as his expression surged with killing intent. It looked like he could not suppress the anger in his heart. He wanted to ask the two cultivators behind Uncle Wei to make a move right away!

"Young Master, don't be anxious. Our plan is already in motion. That person's death is only a matter of time. Please wait a little longer," the butler with gray hair said calmly as he stood beside him.

Wei Jiaming pursed his lips. He had no choice but to control his rage and stare at Wu Mo.

As far as everyone's eyes could see, Wu Mo seemed to be looking around.

"What exactly happened to Manager Gao?"

His voice was unusually calm, and he was not disturbed by the scene.

"Mr. Wu, the guy whom Treasure Pavilion blacklisted this morning is someone from Unique Treasure Hall. To exact revenge, Unique Treasure Hall gathered a group of people and even invited the media to force us into a forging competition. I didn't know about them in depth, so I agreed to it. 

"In the end, it turned out that the guy named Wei Ying had actually forged Premium-grade equipment ahead of time, and he's using it to compete with us. Sadly, none of the blacksmiths in our Treasure Pavilion have the same ability. I've run out of options..."

Gao Yue briefly explained the matter to Wu Mo, looking extremely ashamed.

After Wu Mo listened to him, he understood the whole story. He turned his head to look at Wei Ying and narrowed his eyes slightly. He found it difficult to figure out that guy's true strength.

"Hmph! Treasure Pavilion really has no one left. They're placing the safety of their chamber of commerce on a little kid. This is simply hilarious!"

Wei Ying's lips curled into a sneer and he stretched his hand out to point at Wu Mo.

"Kid, I advise you to reconsider your own ability. You're not qualified to stand up for Treasure Pavilion!"
