"No one dares to mention it? Why?" Mo Jiuli asked curiously, looking at Wang Dagen.

"When the Wang family was exterminated, I was eight years old, and the rest of the brothers were the youngest at five, while the other three were seven. We were just children! Before the old patriarch fell, besides telling us to leave, go to Yuhai Academy, and leave the Cloud Underworld, he also gave each of us a ring, saying it was left for us by our parents on their deathbed!

Then, after the old patriarch fell, we were too scared and just followed his instructions, left the Wang family, and hid in the Yunhai Mountains! Years later, when we grew up and had some strength, naturally we wanted to find out the truth from back then. Therefore, we joined a mercenary group, the five of us forming a team, completing missions while coming to Huoling City. We didn’t dare to rashly ask about things from years ago, so we saved money to buy a small courtyard in Huoling City, and kept accepting missions from the Mercenary Guild there. To facilitate investigating the past events, we tried to take missions related to searching for medicinal materials for the Alchemy Alliance and materials for the Artifact Refining Alliance, just to get to know more people. The five of us endured and gradually became familiar with people from the main streets and alleys, people from the Pill Alliance and Artifact Alliance in the city, and then started to cautiously inquire about the extermination of the Wang family years ago. However, we found that no matter how well people usually got along with us, they were either too young to know, or would simply shut their mouths when they heard us ask. Many people who were not familiar with us would get up and leave instantly upon hearing our questions, and later never spoke to us again..." Wang Dagen said, looking at the sky.

He was no fool, it’s normal for one or two people to act like this, but when the entire city does, he knew something was wrong...

"So, it seems the extermination of the Wang family has some hidden story!" Mo Jiuli said directly.

"Yes, we finally heard from an older man who had a good relationship with us that the Wang family offended someone they shouldn’t have, and if the Wang family wasn’t exterminated, the entire Huoling City would have been destroyed, so the extermination of the Wang family is a taboo in Huoling City, no one can mention it, because it was the extermination of the Wang family that traded for the survival of the other Huoling City residents..." Wang Dagen said with sadness.

"After finding this out, we still didn’t give up. As mercenaries over the years, the five of us have traveled almost entirely across the Cloud Underworld, but still found no clues, so recently we decided to enroll in Yuhai Academy, thinking maybe after leaving Yuhai Academy, there will be new discoveries. It’s just our intuition, but we decided to follow it once..." Wang Dagen said firmly.

"In that case, perhaps we will meet at the Academy in the future! By then, when you arrive at the Academy, you can find us!" Mo Jiuli said, exchanging a glance with Di Minghan.

"Alright, when the four of us go to the Academy, we will definitely come to find you two!" Wang Dagen said with a smile.

"Okay, big brother Wang, take this for self-defense, it can be used to detoxify..." Mo Jiuli said, pondering as he handed Wang Dagen a porcelain bottle.

"How can I accept this, I haven’t helped you with anything, I can’t take it!" Wang Dagen said hurriedly, refusing.

"Big brother Wang, don’t be polite with us unless you think little of us!" Mo Jiuli said, pretending to be serious after hearing Wang Dagen.
