Chapter 723 - Gratefulness And Regrets
"Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, Adviser Chu. I am grateful to you and I believe the entire world will be grateful for you as well." Lin Mu spoke.
"Indeed, Adviser Chu. If it were not for you, perhaps our supreme elder would not have a chance either." Hua San added.
"And the Hong Lin kingdom might not have lived past this either." King Hong added.
"The work of our ancestors was saved due to you, Adviser Chu." Adviser Liu said with gratitude.
Hearing the kind words of his visitors, the old man felt pleased, but at the same time, he felt a bit regretful..
"Perhaps... perhaps my choice of entering seclusion was wrong. I should have been actively involved with the kingdom these years." Adviser Chu stated.
"No, don’t blame yourself, Adviser Chu. If you had not gone, perhaps we would not have had the pressure to reach the Nascent Soul realm. With you there, we would have just relied on you and forget to be prepared ourselves.
It was a very wise decision on your end." Adviser Liu spoke without hesitation.
~Sigh~
The old man sighed and shook his head.
"If only I had more time, I would have taken care of this. Breaking through at this juncture is also impossible for me. I simply don’t have any longevity left." Adviser Chu said with regret.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
"With the technique I used, you should still have at least a week left, adviser Chu. I’m sorry I can’t do anymore, I am helpless in that aspect." Lin Mu said, finding it to be a bit sorrowful as well.
But he knew this was the harsh truth of the world and perhaps only a miracle could save the old man now.
Lin Mu nodded his head and took the jade slip from his hands before storing it away. Having gotten the last item they needed, Lin Mu and the rest cupped their hands before leaving the underground hall.
They would give Adviser Chu some privacy in his last few days on the world, and let him pass on his own terms.
Back at the court, Lin Mu looked through the jade slip while the others sat around. The more Lin Mu read the more shocked he got. The information recorded in the jade slip was rather large and he didn’t even know if he could read it all soon.
~Sigh~
"Can’t believe so many things can be written about a single place." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
King Hong and the rest looked at Lin Mu, waiting for him to proceed. After looking through the jade slip, Lin Mu looked at the rest of the people in the court.
"Looks like we are in for a rather dangerous journey." Lin Mu spoke.
"Even if it is dangerous, we need to go through it. A lot of people are relying on us." Hua San affirmed.
"Plus if we go together, our chances of survival will be higher." Hua Wu stated.
"No!" Lin Mu rejected right away.
"Huh? What happened, senior?" Hua Wu was surprised and also a bit anxious at Lin Mu’s negative reaction.
"From all that I’ve heard and read about the Wandering sinkhole till now, I don’t think you all should go there." Lin Mu replied.
"What! But we have to do it." King Hong said anxiously.
"Yes we do indeed. That’s why I shall be heading there alone. I have confidence that I can escape it with my skills, but I don’t know if I would be able to do the same if I had other people with me.
Please understand my concern." Lin Mu expressed.
