"Hello, nice to meet you!"
Su Mo cupped his fist and greeted the guy and the two ladies as he came before them.
"Who are you? How can we help?"
The lady in a green dress asked as she tilted her head, looking baffled.
The guy and the lady in a white dress became wary and they started to size Su Mo up.
"My name is Duan Jingtian. I happened to hear your conversation and realized that you are from the Reincarnation Holy Court!" Su Mo said with a smile. He had changed his name as a safety precaution.
Duan Jingtian had been his arch-enemy when he was at Gale Island in the Firmament World.
"Yes. What's up?" The lady in a green dress curled her lips and asked with a proud look on her face.
She found that the youth who was standing before them did not look like a crook and he was only an Empty God. She was thus not afraid of him.
The youth in a yellow robe and the lady in a white dress did not respond and they merely stared at Su Mo.
The two of them were not as innocent as the lady in the green dress. They were wary of strangers who approached them out of the blue.
"I am thinking of going to the Reincarnation Holy Court to toughen myself up. I would like to make some inquiries since you are from the Reincarnation Holy Court!" Su Mo replied with a smile.
"What do you want to know?" The girl in a green dress asked.
"I would like to know the situation at the Reincarnation Holy Court. Is it chaotic? Is it safe to be there?" Su Mo asked.
"There's no cause for concern! The Six Great Palaces at the Reincarnation Holy Court are autonomous and they don't meddle with one another's affairs. Their power overwhelms the Holy Court, making it a safe place compared to Sky Pool Holy Court!" The lady in a green dress replied as she waved her hand.
"Oh? The Six Great Palaces? Which are the six?" Su Mo asked with a fixed expression although he was surprised.
He knew nothing about the Reincarnation Holy Court.
"Oh please! You are so ignorant. You don't even know about the Six Great Palaces!" When the lady in a green dress heard Su Mo's question, she pouted her lips.
The Six Great Palaces in the Reincarnation Holy Court are well-known in the Deity Plane but this youth knows nothing about it!
The youth in a yellow robe and the beautiful lady in a white dress were surprised as well.

This guy is ignorant! Or is he trying to dig information from them?
"Miss, can you enlighten me?" Su Mo asked sincerely as he cupped his fist at the lady in a green dress.
"After you reach the Reincarnation Holy Court, you will get to know about them!"
The youth in a yellow robe spoke. He then looked at the lady in a green dress and the lady in a white dress and said, "Qin'er, Luo Yu, there are six more days before Spatiotemporal City opens, let's come back later!"
The lady in a white dress nodded. The lady in a green dress smiled at Su Mo and said, "You have a low cultivation level. It is better for you to go to the Reincarnation Holy Court after you have become a deity!"
The three of them then turned away and left.
Su Mo was silent. The three of them have left!
Six Great Palaces?
Are there six palaces in the Reincarnation Holy Court that operate independently?
That means the Reincarnation Holy Court is not unified.
What about Di Yihun?
Has Di Yihun not unified the Reincarnation Holy Court? Is he not at the Reincarnation Holy Court? Or have the top powers from the Reincarnation Holy Court defied Di Yihun?
Su Mo knitted his brows. He realized that there might be an opportunity for him to turn the table around.
The situation at the Reincarnation Holy Court was not what he had expected!
When Su Mo saw that the guy and the two ladies had left, he followed them immediately.
He had to find out about the situation at the Reincarnation Holy Court or to be exact, about Di Yihun.
He had to know his enemy well in order for him to win the battle. He would not be able to turn the tables if he had no clue about his enemy!
"Brother Chu Yan, Sister Luo Yu, the guy seems to be following us!"
As the three of them were walking through the street, the lady in a green dress discovered Su Mo tailing them. She immediately reported to the youth in a yellow robe and the lady in a white dress.
Having said that, she asked, "Is he up to no good?"
The youth in a yellow robe glanced behind him and sneered, "This guy looks sneaky, and we have no idea where he comes from. If he is up to no good, I will kill him!"
"Let's ignore him. He has a low cultivation level and he will not be able to hurt us!" The lady in a white dress said as she shook her head.

"Let's go back to the inn!" The lady in a green dress said. Although she was young and not well-traveled, she knew that it would be better to avoid getting into trouble.
"Alright!" The youth in a yellow robe and the lady in a white dress nodded. They ignored Su Mo and went into a majestic-looking inn.
"Void's Best Inn!"
Su Mo stood in front of the inn and saw that the name of the inn sounded impressive.
The inn lived up to its name. It occupied a large area, and it was as tall as a tower.
Jade stones were mounted in the entire inn, making it look grand.
"The three of them must be staying in this inn!" Su Mo sighed and walked into the inn.
He then put up in the inn for the time being.
He was glad that Dawn Stones were used in the Deity Plane for trades.
There were different grades of Dawn Stones, namely the lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, and the highest-grade.
Su Mo's Dawn Stones were from the Lower Plane. Although they were the best Dawn Stones from the Sky Tyrant Clan, they were not even comparable to the lower-grade Dawn Stones in the Deity Plane.
As Su Mo possessed a large number of Dawn Stones, he was able to make up the difference.
Su Mo was not in the mood to look at the luxurious room. After he had meditated for a while, he headed upstairs.
After he had entered the inn, he had been using his Spiritual consciousness to follow the guy and the two ladies, thus he knew where they were staying.
The three of them stayed at the fifth level and they were in three adjoining rooms.
Very quickly, Su Mo stood outside one of the rooms which belonged to the lady in a green dress.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The moment Su Mo was outside the room, the doors of the rooms beside it opened, and the youth in a yellow robe and the lady in a white dress darted out.
"What is your motive? If you don't tell us, I will not show you any mercy!" The youth in a yellow robe said sharply.
"I don't think you tail us merely for the sake of checking out the situation at the Reincarnation Holy Court!" The lady in a white dress said coldly.
Creak!
At that instant, the door of the middle room opened, and the lady in the green dress walked out.
"You are so rude! If you don't give us a good reason for tailing us, Brother Chu Yan and Sister Luo Yu will not let you off!" The lady in a green dress snorted.
"I mean no harm. I'm here only to make some inquiries!" Su Mo said as he cupped his fist.
"What is it?"
When the guy by the name of Chu Yan heard what Su Mo had said, he sneered, "You ask silly questions that are known to everyone. Why are you tailing us?"
"Simply because the three of you are from the Reincarnation Holy Court!" Su Mo's face darkened. However, he was not enraged by Chu Yan's sarcastic remarks.
"Leave now or I will not show mercy to you!" Chu Yan said coldly. He would have attacked Su Mo if he was not in the Spatiotemporal Region. He had refrained himself so as to avoid trouble.
If they were at the Reincarnation Holy Court, he would not have allowed a lowly person like Su Mo to tail him.
"I am truly sincere about getting information about the Reincarnation Holy Court and I am willing to pay you for that!" Su Mo said.
"How much are you willing to pay us?" Chu Yuan asked.
"3,000 Lower-grade Dawn Stones!" Su Mo replied. He did not have many Dawn Stones left and he had about 5,000. That was equivalent to 3,000 Lower-grade Dawn Stones in the Deity Plane."
"Hoho!"
When Chu Yan heard what Su Mo had said, he laughed disdainfully. He then said coldly, "Are you kidding us?"
3,000 Lower-grade Dawn Stones?
Chu Yan was speechless. The three of them are from the Human Palace at the Reincarnation Holy Court. 3,000 Lower-grade Dawn Stones are nothing to them. This guy is ridiculous!
"Alright, we will give you the chance to ask!"
The lady in a white dress, who had barely spoken, finally opened her mouth. She looked at Su Mo and said, "You may ask three questions. After you are done with the questions, leave. If not, you will have to bear the consequences!"
The lady in a white dress had no idea why Su Mo wanted to find out the situation at the Reincarnation Holy Court. However, if she could send him away by answering a few questions, she would not mind doing so.
Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what the lady had said. He was glad that he could obtain the information without getting into any conflict.
"Thank you, Miss!"
Su Mo cupped his fist at the lady in a white dress. After pondering for a while, he asked the first question.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
