Chapter 346 - Lord Cai Is Threatened?
Lin Mu was moving Yue to the inner room and left her on the bed. He understood from her previous reaction that what had happened was perhaps not her fault entirely and it was most likely the servants acting on their own so as to convince him to bed them.
Lin Mu could understand their intentions behind this a bit and knew that this was just a method for them to elevate their status a little bit.
~Sigh~
Another sigh escaped Lin Mu’s lips as he felt a headache approaching him.
"Let’s just get this over with, I’ve already wasted quite a bit of time." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
His spirit sense extended out of his body and wandered out in the area. Since his room was adjacent to the eastern wing, Lin Mu was able to reach around half of the length of the wing. Still, he was unable to peek into the rooms due to the barriers that had been set up.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
But Lin Mu was not looking to peek inside to verify their identity. Rather, he was looking at other signs. A few seconds later he determined the room in which the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect and Lord Cai were sitting in.
And how he found them? Shoes.
Lin Mu spotted the shoes that they had removed outside the room and could recognize them to match with the uniform of the disciples.
"There they are..." Lin Mu said as he sank into the ground with phase.
He was able to move rather easily as there was no bottom barrier restricting him. Lin Mu soon reached the room and it was as he had expected.
"So they really didn’t bother to put a barrier to protect them from the ground." Lin Mu saw.
"Of course, just them setting up these many barriers must have been expensive. Besides, they probably would not have expected that someone would come through the ground, anyway." Xukong explained.
"It could be another peak master. Usually, in sects there are multiple departments that may be assigned to different peaks. It’s likely for this elder to be the peak master of another peak." Xukong explained.
"I understand Senior," Lin Mu replied as he continued hearing their conversation.
But just as he was doing this, he realized something.
"Oh no! The formation that he activated, trapped me in here too! I can’t go out unless the formation is deactivated." Lin Mu said in his mind.
"Just hide well, and you should be able to get away easily," Xukong said, calming Lin Mu down.
Lin Mu silently nodded and contained listening.
"I wonder if Seniors have heard of a certain group of people that have been causing a few incidents lately?" Lord Cai questioned.
"Hmm, which specific group are you talking about... perhaps you mean by the disappearance of the mercenaries and some people?" The senior brother replied.
"Yes, seniors are indeed well informed. You see, this particular group has had a couple of interactions with me..." Lord Cai revealed.
The expressions of the three disciples went serious, and so did Lin Mu’s.
’Is he part of the Gu legion too?’ Lin Mu wondered.
"And what is your involvement with this particular... group? And before you say it, know that we already have orders from the sect to capture or exterminate if anyone from that particular group is found." The senior brother threatened.
These words of the Senior brother confused Lin Mu as he had thought that they were involved with the Gu legion too.
~Gulp~
"O-of course not. My involvement with them is of a victim, Seniors. They... have been threatening me, you see." Lord Cai explained.
