Chapter 81: Who would specifically pursue enjoyment? March 7th: We

"Join the Divination Commission?"

Hearing Hearing Xue Yi's words, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Is it that easy to join?

He remembered just how much power the Divination Commission held within the Xianzhou.

However, considering the abilities he had displayed, it was actually quite normal.

He had roughly guessed Hearing Xue Yi's invitation beforehand.

Unfortunately, the Divination Commission was not a retirement home; it was an institution that monitored life and death.

The workload must be immense, and he had no desire to become a wage slave.

Especially since he knew the power he had revealed.

Once he joined the Divination Commission, whenever someone fell into Mara-struck, they would inevitably be summoned by the Judges, and he would absolutely have to follow along—it would be very troublesome.

For him, it would be better to drink a few more cups of tea at the Starskiff Haven and listen to stories than to spend that effort working.

"I am very grateful for the Divination Commission's good intentions."

Under Hearing Xue Yi's expectant gaze, Lin Mo shook his head gently and said, "But I do not wish to join you."

Joining the Divination Commission might be prestigious, but it was also exhausting.

Once joined, if a command came down from above, it wouldn't be good to refuse.

Refusing once or twice might be fine, but doing it again and again—that would be a different story.

He didn't have the energy for that.

"Why?"

Hearing Lin Mo's refusal, Hearing Xue Yi frowned slightly, leaving no trace of her frustration: "With your abilities, Guest, joining our Divination Commission is your most suitable choice. The Divination Commission will grant you sufficient freedom and development, provided you are willing to cooperate with us. If you have any concerns..."

At this point, Hearing Xue Yi paused, a glimmer of expectation flashing in her eyes, "We can talk it over properly."

Was it because of the Minghuoshang Society? In Hearing Xue Yi's view, using Lin Mo's abilities at the Minghuoshang Society was like using a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken.

"It is not a matter of concerns."

Lin Mo shook his head: "I only wish to live according to my own will, without being bound or interfered with by anyone."

If he could join the Divination Commission just like he did the Minghuoshang Society, that would be no problem.

But the Divination Commission was not the same as the Minghuoshang Society.

Especially since the reason Hearing Xue Yi invited him was that she had taken a fancy to the defensive capabilities of his Jade Abacus Shield, which could prevent many losses.

This also meant that in the future, if they were capturing Mara-struck or something similar, how could he possibly stay out of it?

It was better to refuse right from the start and cut off all consequences.

Could the Divination Commission really force him to join?

With the abilities he had shown, and since he wasn't a Xianzhou native, the Divination Commission treated him with courtesy.

Especially with him possessing such power, they would absolutely not provoke him lightly.

"Bound and interfered with?"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Hearing Xue Yi was stunned.

She had wondered what the reason was; it turned out to be this.

Hearing Xue Yi immediately said hurriedly: "Guest, I can understand your thoughts, but you must also understand the position of our Divination Commission."

"Our Divination Commission does not want to force you to do anything; we just want you to see a broader world and a more meaningful future while you help us."

"Our Divination Commission will not restrict your freedom or development. As long as you can cooperate with us, we will respect your opinions and choices. Guest, you might as well reconsider; perhaps you will find that our Divination Commission is not what you imagine."

"I hate trouble."

Lin Mo shook his head: "The Divination Commission itself is an institution that monitors life and death—according to the Divination Commission's laws, anyone who falls into Mara-struck will be summoned by the Judges and sent to the Ghost Prison for judgment."

"If I join the Divination Commission, I will definitely have to go on missions from time to time. I do not want to go on missions; it is too troublesome."

"I only want to enjoy life properly, play with my birds, listen to stories, drink tea, and watch operas every day."

"Joining the Divination Commission would affect all of this, so it is better not to join."

Hearing Xue Yi: ".........."

"You only want to enjoy yourself?"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Hearing Xue Yi's entire expression was one of astonishment.

She had thought of many reasons why Lin Mo might refuse, but she never expected it to be this.

What was there to enjoy? Wouldn't these things just be a waste of time?

Especially with the abilities Lin Mo possessed, doing such things was a complete waste of his talent.

"That is correct."

Lin Mo nodded gently: "I only want to enjoy myself."

Hearing Xue Yi: "........."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Hearing Xue Yi fell silent.

Lin Mo's reason was simply absurd.

In this life, isn't everyone pursuing an increase in strength, status, or something else?

Who would specifically pursue enjoyment?

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Mo showed no sign of perfunctoriness when he spoke, she would have suspected he was lying to her.

For a moment, Hearing Xue Yi wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

To this, Lin Mo smiled faintly.

Joining the Divination Commission would be fine, but unfortunately, the Divination Commission's own stance could never be the same as a merchant society.

Unless the Divination Commission was willing to lower its requirements, such as inviting him to be a guest.

But as a prestigious monitoring institution on the Xianzhou, how could that be possible?

While Lin Mo was thinking this.

On the other side.

Jarilo.

On the streets of Belobog.

Stelle and the others, led by Pela, arrived at the best hotel in Belobog.

Stelle and the others did not go in; Pela went inside to handle the procedures for them.

Stelle turned her head to look at the alley not far from the hotel, her expression surprised: "That must be the alley Gepard mentioned, the one polluted by the Rift, right? It's actually so close to the city center."

Stelle's gaze followed, and beside the alley, there were several Silvermane Guards stationed.

"If left unchecked, the shops and hotels nearby will be out of business before long."

Dan Heng shook his head: "And this is just the first one; more will appear in the future. The influence of the Rift will expand as time passes."

"So that is why there are so many Silvermane Guards there."

Stelle said softly: "There are many soldiers in that alleyway; they are prepared to face the monsters rushing out of the Rift at any moment."

"Step back!"

At this moment, a shout came from afar.

The voice was so loud that Stelle and the others heard it clearly.

They saw a Silvermane Guard with a grave expression forbidding a man in simple robes from approaching.

It looked like he was a citizen of Belobog.

"This is your final warning, leave immediately!"

"But, but, my proof of property is all inside."

The Belobog citizen looked panicked: "I have nothing..."

"The Rift has already eroded the district; no one is allowed to approach here."

A Silvermane Guard said in a deep voice: "You can submit a material recovery application to the Architects, but non-Guard members are forbidden from entering!"

"This world is truly full of disasters."

Looking at the panicked citizen, Stelle said in a low voice: "But can these soldiers really stop the Rift's invasion? Don't forget that even the most ordinary monsters in the Rift are very powerful."

"Isn't that the truth."

March 7th pouted: "It's a good thing we're here. After we seal the Stellaron, they won't have to suffer so much."

"It's just that this Supreme Guardian doesn't seem to appreciate kindness."
