Zhao Xu seemed not to mind Xiao Mu's request for leave and politely asked, "Xiao Xiao, if it's convenient, could you tell me what you plan to do?"
Xiao Mu fell into hesitation. After pondering, he firmly declined, "Grand Elder Zhao, it involves personal privacy, so please forgive me for not being able to tell you where I'm going. However, please trust that I would never do anything harmful to the Alliance."
Zhao Xu laughed, "Xiao Xiao, of course, I believe you won't do anything harmful to the Alliance, but requesting a week's leave during the Great War, you must give some explanation, don't you think?"
"How about this, Xiao Xiao, you quietly tell me, is your departure this time to look for fragments of Divine Treasures and resources like Divine Spirits' treasures?"

Xiao Mu's eyes widened. This Grand Elder really dared to assume – he was merely exploring the 'Netherworld'; what did that have to do with searching for resources?
