Qin Meng’er, the girl from the Qin family, immediately showed some change in her eyes as she deliberately looked over the handsome Chu Mu… “Are you willing to help the Chu family?” Qin Meng’er asked.
“Yes.” Chu Mu nodded.
“Miss, it is better not to blindly trust them,” Old Teng said.
“But how can we trust you?” Qin Meng’er asked.
Qin Meng’er really wanted to help the Chu family, but Old Teng was unwilling to take action. If someone was truly willing to help, it would be more than welcome.
“I am Chu Chen from the Great Chu family of Wogu Domain. I heard that the Chu family of Luo region is getting more and more deserted, so I came here to see during my travels…” Chu Mu quickly made up a lie.
Chu Mu was not deliberately hiding his true identity. In fact, he knew that his own death had become well-known to everyone, and four years had passed. Qin Meng’er and Old Teng hardly believed him now, so if he claimed to be Chu Mu, they would be even less likely to trust him. Therefore, Chu Mu immediately fabricated a legitimate identity.
“Ah? So, you are from the Great Chu family of Wogu Domain. It seems that the Chu family is saved this time.” Qin Meng’er, who seemed more innocent, immediately believed Chu Mu’s words.
“Miss, it is better to be cautious…” Old Teng immediately reminded her, still not trusting Chu Mu very much.
“Uncle Teng, we can’t help the Chu family ourselves, so we shouldn’t stop others from helping them,” Qin Meng’er said.
“Well…alright…” Old Teng showed a difficult expression, but seeing that the young lady had already made up her mind, he didn’t know what else to say.
“Why don’t you notify the Chu family members nearby?” Chu Mu asked curiously. He remembered that there should be Chu family businesses in the nearby cities, and Qin Meng’er should inform them in advance so they could be prepared.
“There is no Chu family around here. If we could inform them, we would have done so long ago,” Old Teng said.
“No?” Chu Mu was stunned and did not expect that his family had fallen to such a point where they no longer had any influence in these nearby cities…
“So where are they planning to take action, and where is the Chu family’s trading team now?” Chu Mu continued to ask.
“I have sent my subordinates to find out, and it might take a day to know for sure. However, I guess they might be planning to do it outside Manying City in Manying Forest. How about this, tomorrow you come with us to Manying City, and after we get the specific information, you can go ahead…” Qin Meng’er said.
“Miss…” Old Teng immediately whispered softly, seemingly trying to tell his young lady to be more careful and not reveal everything to these two strangers.
However, Qin Meng’er didn’t care and was very trusting of Chu Mu. After making arrangements with him, she returned to her room with a smile…
“Young Master Chu, do you remember this Miss from the Qin family?” Ting Yu asked as she saw the people from the Qin family had gone to rest in the guest rooms.
“Yes, I have an impression of her,” Chu Mu nodded, and the image of a little girl with an innocent and sweet smile surfaced in his mind.
At first, Chu Mu really did not recognize who the girl from the Qin family was, but after taking a closer look, he gradually confirmed that she seemed to be the younger sister from the Qin family who had a very good relationship with him. In his memory, this little sister would often run into his courtyard, and her silvery laughter would fill the whole courtyard…
Four years later, this little sister from the Qin family had become a beautiful woman exuding an elegant aura, making Chu Mu somewhat unrecognizable. If it were not for her pure temperament, Chu Mu would have had trouble connecting the stunning Miss with the little sister from his memories.
“This Miss is so beautiful.” Ting Yu praised with a meaningful look, glancing at Chu Mil.
Chu Mu agreed and nodded, saying, “Yes, indeed very beautiful. You are not bad either.”
Ting Yu originally only wanted to know more about Chu Mu’s past relationship with Qin Meng’er but didn’t expect Chu Mu to suddenly blurt out such a sentence, blushing immediately and hurriedly walking into the room. She nervously tidied the bed for Chu Mu.
As Chu Mu knew from before, Ting Yu had always deliberately disguised her appearance in the Nightmare Demon Palace. Only after leaving the Nightmare Demon Palace did she reveal her true self.
In the three years that had passed, Ting Yu had changed a lot, at least in Chu Mu’s eyes, she was now a beauty. She was much better than Xinxue, who had completely fallen from grace.
Still keeping the habit of not sleeping, Chu Mu fed 70% of his Soul Power to the White Nightmare Demon and then began meditating to restore his power as soon as possible.
Having reached the Seventh-Level Soul Master, Chu Mu only needed to feed the White Nightmare Demon 70% of his Soul Power.
However, summoning a soul pet required at least 10% of one’s soul power. If Chu Mu had only 30% of his soul power left, he would only be able to summon soul pets and not use any soul skills.
“Wu
Little MO Xie lay on Chu Mu’s shoulder, yawning cutely and looking sleepy.
“Go to sleep, there will be a battle soon,” Chu Mu said, stroking Little MO Xie’s head gently.
“Wuuu—” When it came to fighting, Little MO Xie was immediately excited. It had been almost a month since their last battle, and MO Xie had been listless recently, nibbling on its claws from time to time to keep them sharp.
“Eat a soul core and go to sleep; don’t get too excited.” Chu Mu took out a Level 6 Fire dual attribute soul nucleus and fed it to Little MO Xie.
After finishing its meal, Little MO Xie curled up and jumped into Chu Mu’s arms. It found a comfortable position to sleep in, adjusting its beautiful six tails.
Chu Mu continued to sit on the bed and meditate, not putting Little MO Xie down to sleep until it was nearly daylight.
The next morning, when Chu Mu and Ting Yu woke up, the Qin family had already prepared the carriage to leave for Manying City.
“Where are your people?” Old Teng looked at Chu Mu and Ting Yu and asked.
“What people?” Chu Mu asked, puzzled.
“Of course, I mean the person who will fight! You don’t expect two greenhorns like you to deal with the Yang family’s experts, do you?” Old Teng said grumpily.
“Uncle Teng, don’t be so harsh.” Qin Meng’er immediately persuaded Old Teng and turned her gaze to Chu Mu. Softly, she said, “Young Master Chu Chen, didn’t you bring a servant to protect you on your travels?”
Chu Mu looked at Qin Meng’er and shook his head, “No, I’m the one who will take action.”
“You? Kid, are you just playing with us? Even I would have trouble dealing with Li Nan from the Yang family. There’s no difference between you going and seeking death!” Old Teng’s temper immediately flared up!
It wasn’t that Old Teng looked down on Chu Mu, but the fact was there weren’t many young experts in Luo domain who could reach the Soul Master level before the age of twenty. Even if they were Soul Masters, Li Nan from the Yang family had two Commander-level Soul Pets with high stages. How could they be his opponents without some experience?
Old Teng never thought from the beginning that this young man was the one who would help the Chu family. He had always thought it was the young man’s servant, but who would have thought the young man had no servants and actually claimed he would act himself.
“Old man, control your temper! Do you know who my young master is? If you really anger my young master, your Qin family in Gangluo city will be wiped out from Luo domain!” Ting Yu said angrily.
Old Teng’s rudeness and disdain had already upset Ting Yu. Now, who in the entire Nightmare Demon Palace didn’t know the name of Henghai Young Master Yan – Chu Mu? It was probably hard to find a young expert in the Luo domain who could compete with Chu Mu. What did this old servant of the Qin family think he was?
“You!!” Old Teng was infuriated by Ting Yu’s harsh words. His face trembled, and it looked like he was about to explode.
“Uncle Teng, don’t get angry. We are the ones who were wrong first. I’ll apologize to you on his behalf.” Qin Meng’er slightly bowed as a sign of apology.
“The Chu family’s matter is important. Let’s not waste time on this pointless quarrel.” Chu Mu told Ting Yu to step back.
Ting Yu was truly upset on Chu Mu’s behalf. The current identity of the Prison Island King was highly respected— even the domain master of Luo region would politely address Chu Mu as Young Master Chu Yan. Yet, these people dared to look down on Chu Mu.
“Since that’s the case, let’s go. If you don’t have a mount, you can ride on our carriage.” Qin Meng’er had a good temper and did not hold a grudge against Ting Yu for her previous words.
“No need, we have our mounts.”
Quarter of an hour later, Chu Mu and Ting Yu appeared on their Wind Demon Steeds in front of the Qin family’s carriages.
The Wind Demon Steed was not an ordinary Servant Ranked Spirit Beast like those pulling the Qin family’s carriages. When they appeared, the Servant
Ranked Spirit Beasts immediately showed fear, almost tipping the carriages!
“Commander… Commander-level Wind Demon Steed!”
“Wind Attribute, a Commander-level Wind Demon Steed with the highest endurance talent! So the two people who were said to have Wind Demon Steeds were them!”
The Qin family’s servants were all wide-eyed, their gazes fixed on the incredibly impressive Wind Demon Steed!
Old Teng was also dumbfounded, his mouth agape, unable to speak for a long time.
Old Teng could see that this young master Chu had an unusual identity, but he never thought it would be so unusual that he would use a Commander-level Soul Pet as a mount. Only the heads of the major families had such an honor!
Qin Meng’er was also astonished. Her gaze swept over Old Teng with a clear blaming look.
Old Teng realized he had indeed underestimated the two and reddened with embarrassment. He awkwardly said to Chu Mu, “Young Master Chu is so generous, using the Wind Demon Steed as a mount. Could it be you are the young master of the Great Chu Family from the Wogu Domain?”
The Great Chu Family of Wogu Domain was the ruler of the entire Wogu Domain, not on the same level as these big city families. Recalling the maid’s arrogant words, Old Teng realized that he had indeed encountered a person of great status this time. If he offended Chu Mu, it could indeed cause considerable trouble for the Qin family.
“Hmph, how can the young master of the Great Chu Family compare with my young master?” Ting Yu snorted coldly.
Ting Yu’s words made Qin Meng’er and Old Teng even more surprised. Could it be that the rank of this young master Chu was even higher than that of the young master of the Great Chu Family? Then, who on earth was this young master Chu?
