Chapter 371: Confirmation (1/2)

”Now that… may be possible. Wait for a bit, I'll try something.” Wu Hei replied.

After everyone was done praying, Wu Hei went to one of the priests and spoke something in his ear. The priest shook his head for a bit but then Wu Hei said something again. This time the priest was a bit hesitant but then nodded.

Wu Hei walked back to Lin Mu and gestured for him to follow him.

They went to a separate hall away from the others with the priest. Lin Mu had seen this area with his spirit sense and knew that it was a scripture chamber.

”So he's the one that wants it to be done?” The priest questioned.

”Yes, and he would like it to be done in private.” Wu Hei answered much to Lin Mu's confusion.

”Wait here then and do not leave the room, I'll go call someone.” The priest said before leaving the room.

After the priest left the room, Lin Mu immediately asked, ”What did you tell him?”

”I told him that you would like to have your fortune read.” Wu Hei replied.

”Huh? My fortune?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Yes, you see some aristocrats come here and ask the priests to divine their fortune with the help of the ancestral spirits. But they don't do this that often and it is expensive to do. I was able to convince them and that priest just went to get his elder who can read fortunes.

We have three minutes at most before he returns, so do what you have to.” Wu Hei explained.

”I need to be alone for this. Having another person would disturb my concentration.” Lin Mu said, giving an excuse so as to not expose his skills.

”Alright,” Wu Hei replied and did not question his methods.

He went out of the room and extended his spirit sense all the way to the corner. This way when the priest came closer he would be able to sense him before he saw Wu Hei standing outside. Thankfully, the scripture hall was at a right angle and thus could not be seen directly.

~Phew~

”Now to get there and come back safely…” Lin Mu muttered to himself after Wu Hei was gone.

He checked the area below and then used Phase to sink into the floor. A second later he was at the first basement level, where the bedrooms were located. All of the bedrooms were empty at this moment as it was daytime and the priests were working.

Lin Mu went down another level and appeared in the working area of the priests. There were six priests here, and he had actually appeared right behind one of them. Thankfully, the priest was deep in mediation and did not notice him.

Lin Mu scanned for an empty room and blinked there. Now that he was in a safe place, he checked the depths again. He didn't want to go to the third basement level of the temple as there was a chance the head priest could detect him.
