1625 The Insider with Information on the Deer GodTranslated by XephiZ

Headmistress Perry had clearly offended the Casas by protecting the traitor.
She had still had a chance to alleviate the conflict between them and the Casas if she had handed the culprit over. However, Mo Fan could not help but think that Headmistress Perry totally deserved his respect whenever he recalled her words.
Even if the girl had betrayed the Alps Institute and brought so much trouble to the school, as long as she was still a student of the Alps Institute, Headmistress Perry would still make sure that she was judged fairly, instead of letting the Casas torture her.
It was rare to witness such integrity in the current day. Only the Alps Institute,which had remained true to their principles and values by secluding itself from the world, could do so!
Mo Fan believed the Alps Institute should not be blamed for what had happened. They were using their resources to help orphanages across the world. He believed Headmistress Perry and the others were working hard to secure the funds needed.
The Parthenon Temple was resourceful, and their businesses were all over the place. The reflexology center that Zhao Manyan brought him to was a huge money-making machine, not to mention the lands, ore veins, and herb gardens they owned, and the donations from their believers…
Xinxia might not be the Treasurer, but she was a Candidate. She had to have a certain say in the finances. If Xinxia could help the Parthenon Temple and the Alps Institute bury the hatchet and break the barrier between the two factions, Headmistress Perry would no longer have to worry about funds. She might even get more money for the orphanages. After all, the Parthenon Temple obviously had a greater influence. In addition to that, many factions that were worried about provoking the Parthenon Temple could finally work closely with the Alps Institute!
“Mo Fan, it’s not that easy to bury the hatchet. I think you should let Xinxia talk to the Alps Institute in person… Brianca and Heidi are definitely the Alps Institute’s successors. You can settle them first. Invite them out for dinner, and have a pleasant conversation with the women. As long as you don’t leave a bad impression and try to play some mind games, it’s easy to become good friends with them. Don’t mention a word about your plan to work together with them. Just be friends first. When they notice how pure and kind Xinxia is, you can then spill the beans. It’s a lot easier that way!” Zhao Manyan said.
“You’re right, one step at a time,” Mo Fan nodded.
Brianca and Heidi were biased against the Parthenon Temple. They did not even want to come to Athens in the first place. If he told them a Candidate was interested in working with them, they might assume the Candidate had an ulterior motive!
“Then I guess we’ll stay in Athens for a while. I like this city, HAHA!” Zhao Manyan laughed.
“Mm, it’s not a bad place.”
“Mo Fan, I’ve provided you with so many insights. Can’t you sneak me into the Hall of the Goddess? I heard it’s the paradise every man is looking for. The whole place is full of beauties; the Servants, the Muses, the Saintess, and female knights… man, I’m already getting excited from the thought of it,” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
“The knights are all men.”
“Damn, I want to be a knight, then! Are they recruiting?…”
——
Mo Fan still paid a visit to the Mountain of the Goddess. Zhao Manyan did not sneak in with Mo Fan as he had hoped. The Mountain of the Goddess was heavily guarded, and no one could set foot on it without permission. Zhao Manyan had no choice but to wander around in other areas.
Mo Fan went straight to the mountain allocated to people who were convalescing in the Parthenon Temple.
The Mountain of the Goddess was pretty huge, with a complicated layout. One would see a new utopia after crossing every rise. They might be residences of the Servants, the Muses, or even just gardens where some special plants were nurtured.
A Probationary Servant was guiding Mo Fan. She was very chatty, and kept asking Mo Fan about his relationship with Xinxia. Mo Fan had no idea what to say to her.
They finally arrived at a little residence covered in greenery. When Mo Fan went inside, he saw a skinny woman standing below a tree, holding a little bird that had been knocked to the ground by the strong wind. She seemed to be searching for the little guy’s nest, to put it back.
“Senior Sister Leng Qing, I’ll do it!” Mo Fan went up and took the little bird before leaping up into the tree.
Mo Fan placed the bird back into its nest in just a few seconds, then nimbly jumped back down from the tree like a monkey.
“Mo Fan, when did you arrive?” Leng Qing smiled. Mo Fan was the only person that could visit her while she was recovering here.
“I just got here. How are you?” Mo Fan asked.
“Not bad, just a little weak… I feel like the wind could easily knock me down,” Leng Qing sighed.
Leng Qing had slimmed down a lot. Even though Xinxia managed to drag her back from the depths of Hell, she would need a long time to recover from her injuries, especially her cultivation.
He could no longer feel the powerful aura of a Super Mage from Leng Qing. In fact, she looked weaker than a normal person. He wondered how long it would take for her to reclaim the imposing bearing of an Elder of the Magic Court!
“Take your time,” Mo Fan said softly.
“Mm, it doesn’t feel too bad to be like this.” Leng Qing went indoors.
“Lingling contacted me not long ago. She sounded like there was something urgent, but she didn’t want to tell me on the phone. Do you know what it was?” Mo Fan asked.
Leng Qing lifted her gaze. “She also sounded like she wanted to tell me something the last time we were on the phone,” Leng Qing admitted.
“Oh, she might have found something,” Mo Fan mused.
“Why are you in Athens? I thought Xinxia wasn’t here,” Leng Qing asked curiously, changing the topic.
“I just came to take a look at the auctions. Nothing much.” Mo Fan did not tell her about the Pyramid. It would be too complicated to explain it all again.
“Did you find anything interesting? The auctions in Athens are pretty famous,” Leng Qing asked, interested.
“I only bought an artifact. It might be related to a Totem Beast. It’s called the Horn of the Deer God or something…” Mo Fan said.
“The Horn of the Deer God?” Leng Qing was astounded.
“Did you know about it?” Mo Fan was surprised.
“Do you remember the Enforcement Union’s Oath Tree? An ancient Deer God once lived under it. I heard Tang Zhong and a senior talking about it. You should ask Tang Zhong for some of the details…” Leng Qing said.
Mo Fan was overjoyed. It turned out that someone from his homeland knew the information he was looking for, and it was someone he was familiar with, too!
That old man Tang Zhong, why didn’t he tell me he had information on another Totem Beast?
