Chapter 369: Entering The Ancestral Temple (1/2)

A couple of guards blocked Lin Mu when he got closer, but then a voice called out.

”Let Lord Mu Lin pass!” Wu Hei ordered.

Hearing that the person in front of him was a lord suddenly made the guards anxious. They wondered if they had accidentally offended an aristocrat and were bracing for the punishment, but surprisingly the person in front of them had no reaction to it.

They moved aside and let Lin Mu pass, still feeling a bit speechless.

”Have you ever seen an aristocrat act like that?” one of the guards asked the other.

”Very few… but they are in the minority… seems like we were lucky.” The other guard muttered.

Lin Mu was observed by the other people that were wanting to enter the Ancestral Temple. All of them were either Aristocrats, or officials of the nearby sects. Lin Mu particularly paid attention to the sect officials and tried to recognize which sect they were from.

Lin Mu secretly took a breath of relief, seeing that they were actually from small sects that were not that powerful.

”Makes sense, a cultivator wouldn't particularly come to visit an ancestral temple once they have severed their mortal ties,” Xukong spoke.

Lin Mu nodded his head, ignoring the curious gazes of the people. The sect officials looked away rather quickly, but the aristocrats were still wondering about his identity. They were from different places, but could still tell that the person in front of them was not normal.

No normal aristocrat would walk around that casually in clothes like that.

”Who is he?” One of the younger aristocrats questioned another.

”I heard Lord Wu Hei call him, Mu Lin. Do you know the clan he's from?” The other one replied.

”Hmm, I know of a couple of Mu clans but they are not aristocrats.” Another person added.

”Greeting brother Mu Lin.” Wu Hei spoke out loud intentionally with a smile.

Seeing their host greeting the person who had just come personally, made them confirm his identity. Wu Hei took a quick glance around and was satisfied by the result. This was another one of his methods that he was using to softly introducing Lin Mu to the others.

If Lin Mu directly turned up at the tournament, it would be a bit problematic and others could be suspicious. Wu Hei had thought of this method after seeing Lin Mu's demonstration last night. If Lin Mu truly ended up doing something on that level in the tournament, the others would question his motives.

Someone like Lin Mu would rightfully be worthy of cultivation sect and they would wonder if Wu Hei was cheating or something.

”Greetings lord Hei, I hope I was not late.” Lin Mu replied seeing the door of the temple was still closed.
