Chapter 334: Sneaking In-II (1/2)

”Please, I do not dare to display my mediocre skills and dishonor myself. I do not want to lose face for the sect in front of the other peers. Besides, I heard some skilled people have been invited by the mayor to entertain people with their chess skills.” Pei Lao spoke in a humble tone.

”Ha ha ha! Junior brother is shy, but do not worry about losing face. The elders wouldn't mind something like this. After all, this is merely a friendly competition and we are just participating for the wedding.” The disciple who seemed to be the senior brother replied.

'Oh? So there will be more elders coming here from the Tri cauldron peony sect.' Lin Mu thought after hearing their words.

”Wu Hei did not say that there were going to be more than one elder from the sect coming. Seems like even he did not know this.” Lin Mu internally noted.

He then scanned the area ahead and luckily found it to be empty. From what he had seen from the roof, the quarters of the disciples should be to the left of the current area, and the area in front of him was the main hall of the courtyard. This was where the meeting and dinner would be conducted.

Here was where Lin Mu's luck shined. He saw that the main hall was elevated from the ground by half a foot.

”Good, I can hide there.” Lin Mu said to himself.

He then looked at the three disciples and waited for their attention to shift a bit. The next area was out of his range of teleportation and he would have to move ahead a bit in the open. As long as he kept his head close to the ground, he shouldn't be easily noticed.

The three disciples continued their banter for a few minutes before focusing on the chess game again.

'Now!' Lin Mu internally shouted and shot ahead.

If someone looked at him right now, it looked as if a rock was moving fast. Because his head was covered with a black cloth and it was rather dimly lit, he appeared similar to a rock in appearance.

”Huh? What's there?” The disciple who was observing the chess game suddenly spoke up and looked around.

Pei Lao and the Senior disciple looked at the alert man and inquired.

”What's the matter, brother Tie Dan?” Pei Lao questioned.

Tie Dan looked around with sharp eyes for a bit and scanned the area with his spirit sense, only to find nothing.

~sigh~

”Nothing, brother Pei. I was mistaken.” Tie Dan spoke.

”No, no, your concern is valid brother Tie. Please do tell us what you felt was here.” Senior brother asked.

”I thought as if I saw a rock moving.” Tie Dan answered.

”A rock?” Pei Lao tilted his head.
