Chapter 353: Investment (1/2)

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.
