Chapter 342 - Entering The Alluring Wisteria Pavillion
Lin Mu didn’t have a hard time listening to the conversation of Lord Cai and the disciples of Tri cauldron peony sect. Though he was a bit anxious about being found out.
"Seniors, please come in and we’ll discuss more about the situation. I hope my Establishment and its people will serve you well." Lord Cai said before taking the three disciples inside.
As soon as Lin Mu heard this, he knew he had to listen to what they were going to talk about.
’I stole the seal from the Tri cauldron peony sect and also killed one of their disciples, I need to know what they are going to discuss.’ Lin Mu thought.
Lin Mu waited for them to enter the building before moving away. He had tried to go in directly using phase but found it to be impossible.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
"They got barrier formations here too... Hmm considering it belongs to that lord Cai it makes sense." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
Lin Mu was a bit reluctant to go in but knew that it would be necessary as he wanted to know what kind of a risk he was in. He went to an alley to the side and came out of the ground. He straightened his clothes and ensured that he looked fine. He didn’t want to give away that he was the ’thief’ in any way.
"Ah! It’s that Young Lord!" Suddenly someone shouted when Lin Mu got near the building.
Then he felt his arm being squished between something soft and felt it to be a bit familiar.
"Looks like Young Lord finally made up his mind," said the woman who had caught Lin Mu before.
~Gulp~
Lin Mu looked at the lascivious looking woman and gulped his saliva. The voice of his mother appeared in his mind once again, but he was able to reassure him that he was here for a proper investigation.
"Oh ho? Why doesn’t the young Lord say anything? Do you not want to play with this little sister?" Spoke the woman.
~huu~huu~huu~
Yue’s breathing became a bit labored as she reeled in from the fear that she had just felt.
’This boy... he’s not simple.’ Yue thought.
"Damn, I almost got drugged!" Lin Mu uttered in his mind.
"Indeed, that incense that is burning in the entire building has some kind of a drug mixed in. It dulls your sense and thinking, making you prone to reckless decisions. This is something that’s used quite a lot in establishments like these." Xukong explained.
"But isn’t this too strong? Won’t the other people notice and be bothered by it?" Lin Mu asked.
"This is your first time coming in contact with it, that’s why you felt the impact to be this strong. Most of the people here are habituated to it and would barely feel any effects." Xukong answered.
’Good, that I used severing heart sutra fast enough...’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
"That’s not all, your physique that has nearly become Xiantian also helped you. Once it completely becomes a Xiantian physique, your resistance to poisons and drugs like this should rise." Xukong added.
Lin Mu internally nodded this and took note of this point. He looked at the woman who was clinging to him and realized for the first time that she actually was a person with seventh stage body tempering realm cultivation.
"That’s a bit unexpected..." Lin Mu muttered.
"What’s unexpected, Young lord?" Yue asked upon hearing his words.
Since she was stuck so close to him, it was easy to hear whatever that he spoke. In fact, she had heard him chant the severing heart sutra too, but due to the fear she felt at that moment, her mind had not registered that.
Lin Mu thought for a moment before deciding to speak.
"You being at the seventh stage body tempering realm." Lin Mu replied.
