Chapter 306: Farewell And Parting Gifts (1/2)

Lin Mu looked on at the two and thought of what to say until he eventually decided on something.

”Looks like both of us will be going away soon, ha ha!” Lin Mu said.

Jing Wei raised his brows but understood that this was a good way to change the good situation and thus decided to go with it.

”Oh, really? Where are you going?” Jing Wei asked.

”I'll be going into seclusion for about a year soon… well after a wedding.” Lin Mu replied.

”A wedding, whose wedding?” Duan Ke questioned, feeling curious.

”The son of the mayor, Lieutenant Wu Teng is getting married to the daughter of one of the elders of the Tri cauldron peony sect.” Lin Mu answered.

”What? When did that happen?” Jing Wei asked, feeling confused now.

The two of them had been inside the courtyard for a while now and did not have much contact with the outside world for the past two weeks. The only contact they had was with the servants of Jingming Shang, who had sent them the materials that they needed.

But after that, they did not hear any news from the town and were thus in the blind about everything. Understanding this, Lin Mu began to tell them of all that had happened these past few days and how he was now going to represent the Lord of the Hei corps in a competition of some kind.

”Be careful Lin Mu, those people will try to use you,” Jing Wei said in a concerned tone. ”I've seen these contests and while they are common and are a means to demonstrate your strength, you will also draw plenty of eyes to yourself.”

Lin Mu listened to his words and found them to be fair. He was inexperienced in these matters, and there was no one better than Jing Wei to give him advice in this aspect.

”I won't tell you what to do, but you can decide yourself if it is worth or not.” Jing Wei added.

”Thank you for your advice, old man Jing. I'll think over it,” Lin Mu said in a respectful tone.

Then suddenly a question came to Lin Mu's mind.

”You said you were going to leave, right? Then what's going to happen to the shop and the courtyard?” Lin Mu questioned.

”The shop itself will be here, as it had always been a part of the twin. But the Myriad armament canopy abode, it can go wherever we want it to as it. I can anchor it to any place and will be able to enter into it. That is the reason why this was the backup plan of my clan.” Jing Wei said.

”Oh, I see.” Lin Mu nodded in understanding.

He then realized that he should probably hurry and get back to his tasks. The first thing he needed to do was to place the illusory formation array in his house to protect it while he was gone.

”Goodbye, then. I hope we meet again soon and you accomplish what you are setting out to do.” Lin Mu said.

”You too, take care. You have a great duty on your head and you need to fulfill it. Be careful and don't let the schemes of others harm you. I hope that by the time we meet again, the situation will be one of peace and not conflict.” Jing Wei replied.

Duan Ke meanwhile looked at Lin Mu with a complex expression and felt a bit confused about what to say.

~Sigh~

”Goodbye then,” Duan Ke simply said with a small smile on her lips.

Seeing this, a big smile bloomed on Lin Mu's face as this was the first time he was seeing Duan Ke like this. He didn't mind that her farewell was rather short, but was happy with it.

Lin Mu was about to turn around when Jing Wei stopped him.
