Chapter 351: The Carriage Ride (1/2)

The carriage driver stepped down and opened the door for Lin Mu, which he was not expecting as he had already extended his hand and was now standing awkwardly.

”Umm, thank you…” Lin Mu stated before entering the carriage.

There he saw long seats placed in the front and back side of it. They were covered in high quality soft furs and were stuffed with springy beast feathers. There was also a table placed in the middle on which a few bottles of wine were kept.

”Greetings, Brother Lin Mu.” Wu Hei said as he scanned Lin Mu from top to bottom.

”Looks like the role of an aristocrat suits you much better than I thought.” Wu Hei praised.

”I guess, but I still prefer my usual robes better. These are just… not comfortable for some reason.” Lin Mu replied.

”I understand that, I have a similar position on that matter as well. I'd much rather prefer my own scholarly robes than these. Similarly, I do not like attending events such as these either, but considering the situation, I believe we do not have a choice in this matter.” Wu Hei explained.

Lin Mu nodded and reclined in the seat, finding it to be quite comfortable.

”So why did brother Lin Mu visit the alluring wisteria pavilion for?” Wu Hei questioned with interest.

Lin Mu had still not told him the reason behind it, as he didn't think it would be wise to pass it through a messenger. Besides, there were still a few things that he needed to hide such as the fact that he sneaked into the courtyard of the Tri cauldron peony sect.

”I discovered more clues about the Gu legion,” Lin Mu revealed.

The gaze of Wu Hei turned serious as he tapped the armrest.

”And what did you find?” He asked.

”It seems like Lord Cai was targeted by the Gu legion and they wanted to get control of the alluring wisteria pavilion. Even the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect have been ordered to kill or capture if anyone belonging to the Gu legion was discovered.” Lin Mu answered.

Wu Hei stroked his chin before asking, ”so we are going to meet some potential allies?”

”Yes… if things work out.” Lin Mu replied.

”And you are fine with this? Despite your… infraction with the Tri cauldron peony sect?” Wu Hei questioned.

”It can work, as long as the Junior Elder Fa Shiu never appears…” Lin Mu stated with a knowing look.

Wu Hei nodded his head and took out a scroll from his spatial storage treasure.
