Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu did not say anything and simply listened on. He didn't want to interfere and wanted to see how Wu Hei would react to this. He looked at Wu Hei from the corner of his eyes and saw that there was no change in his expression.

But when he felt his aura, he could sense the disturbance. Lin Mu also got a peek into his cultivation base for the first time properly. But it didn't look like others felt it, only Lin Mu's sensitive spirit sense did.

'Didn't expect that he would be in the core condensation realm as well… but what stage is he in?' Lin Mu wondered.

While he could perceive the fluctuations of a core condensation realm cultivator from him, he couldn't tell the exact stage as they were not strong enough. But if he estimated it from Hei Yingjie's cultivation as a mid stage core condensation realm expert, Wu Hei must be at least equal or higher to him.

"Ha ha! I've been intending to do the same, but I've been busy with some research. But do not worry, I'm free now and we can meet soon. Just send a message to my mansion whenever the peak master is free, I'll be sure to visit." Wu Hei said with a smile.

"He's good… but still needs more practice in hiding his true intentions. Though it may be enough for these people." Xukong analyzed.

Lin Mu didn't say anything and kept on observing.

"Of course, of course! I will inform the peak master." Quan Hong replied with a smile as well.

"Please gentlemen, let's sit," Lord Cai said.

Everyone sat down and the servants started serving them all wine.

"I propose a toast! To all the men here and to our glorious future relationship!" Lord Cai raised his cup.

"To a glorious future relationship!" Everyone joined in, but Lin Mu was a bit slow in responding.

He was not used to things like this and was not expecting it. Seeing as how everyone picked up the cups, he looked at the one that was kept in front of him.

"Go ahead, pick it up, you have to join in certain etiquettes," Xukong said.

Lin Mu picked up the cup and brought it to his lips before swallowing the wine in one go. At first, he didn't feel anything. But a second later the strong burning taste of the wine spread in his mouth. The wine flowed to his stomach and a warmth filled it.

He would have gagged if it were not for him forcibly holding his expression.

'Ugh! That's gonna take a while to get used to…' Lin Mu thought.

Everyone placed their cups down and the servant poured them all another serving. Lin Mu looked at it with a slight aversion.

"Ah, Brother Mu Lin here prefers tea," Wu Hei interrupted.

"Oh! Is that so? Please get some of our finest tea for lord Mu Lin." Lord Cai ordered.

A minute later a fresh pot of fragrant tea was brought and poured for Lin Mu. He nodded his head to the servant girl who giggled in response.

~Sip~

"Good tea…" Lin Mu muttered.

Seeing that Lin Mu was satisfied, Lord Cai nodded his head in approval.

"Now then, I believe you already know the cooperation between my Establishment and the peak master. And since lord Wu Hei is also here, I wonder if you would be interested in this venture too?" Lord Cai finally asked what he really wanted to.

A slight smirk appeared on Wu Hei's face as he had expected this to happen.

"Why not, I think it could be beneficial to us all? Besides, Lord Mu Lin and I have a few things of our own to discuss with you." Wu Hei stated.

A big toothy smile appeared on the old man's face after hearing his reply. He had truly not expected him to say this straightway and had a lot of plans ready in his mind to convince him. Lord Cai had even thought of a few ways to threaten Wu Hei but it seems like his preparations were wasted.

'Hah! What waste? This is simply good luck. If I was going to waste my effort like this every time, I would do it without regret.' Lord Cai said in his mind.

"Hahaha! Good, good, Lord Wu Hei has a good eye for business. I promise you it will be one of the best decisions you make." Lord Cai said.

"I'm fine with it… but what of the peak master?" Wu Hei questioned, taking a sip of the wine.

"We are fine with it… actually we would be happy seeing another good party investing together. Besides the peak master wouldn't mind it, you are gonna be family after all." Fa Lao replied.

"Well then, this all works out." Lord Cai affirmed with a clap and then looked at Lin Mu.

"Lord Wu Hei said that you and Lord Mu Lin have something to discuss with me, may I know what it is?" Lord Cai questioned.

Lin Mu calmly turned to see how Wu Hei would make this work.

"Well, you see brother Mu Lin here has a bit of a trouble. A certain group of people have offended him, and the last he heard of their traces was here in this region." Wu Hei answered.

Lord Cai raised his brows while the disciples continued to listen with interest.

"And who would be so unfortunate so as to offend Lord Mu Lin?" Lord Cai asked.

While he did not know the background of Lin Mu, he knew that he must not be someone simple if Wu Hei was friends with him. And with Lin Mu's strength, he wondered even more about his background. But this also meant that the people who offended him must not be weak either.

"I don't know if Lord Cai has heard of the 'Gu Legion'." Wu Hei revealed.

Upon hearing the two words, the faces of everyone turned serious while the servants tensed up due to the change in the room.

"What…" Yue muttered under her breath.
