Chapter 456: Scatterbrain? (1/2)

All the way across the floor Lin Mu saw a man sitting. The man was dressed in some blue and gold luxurious robes and had a sword at his waist. He was sitting along with a few other people, some of which were disciples of sects.

This man was none other than Wu Hei himself. Although he looked much different from before. He did not have the same scholarly aura that he used to have and even his clothes did not seem to suit him that much.

Lin Mu quickly withdrew his gaze from them so as to not arouse any suspicion but his spirit sense was still trained on them.

”Is there a problem, senior?” The female clerk asked seeing him suddenly stop.

”No, nothing. I was just looking around, this place is nice.” Lin Mu said making up an excuse.

”I know right! This is my first time coming up here, I've only heard of how good the food is here. Back when the union was still populated by everyone, I used to hear the senior mercenaries talk about how the food here was good.” The female clerk replied.

”I see…” Lin Mu said before walking to the table that the waiter had picked for them.

The table was located quite far from where Wu Hei and the others were sitting and there was even a wide window behind them, from where they could see the view of the city. Though the most prominent part was the royal palace and the beautiful garden that surrounded it.

The entire place could be seen from here, which had made this a prime spot for people. They only got the table here, since another pair of customers had just finished up their meal and stood up, vacations for them.

Lin Mu and the female clerk sat down while the waiter gave them a menu.

”What would you like sir?” The waiter asked.

Lin Mu pretended to look at the menu, but his attention was focused on Wu Hei and the rest. It was now that he found something strange. Usually even at this distance if Lin Mu focused on something he would be able to hear them, but right now he was unable to.

'This is unusual…' Lin Mu thought.

He extended his spirit sense closer and then sensed something.

'A formation…' Lin Mu recognized.

”Hmm… seems like a sound isolating talisman which can create a temporary formation that isolates sounds. Very useful to hide your conversation when you are in a public space.” Xukong informed.

”Can I find a way through it?” Lin Mu questioned.

”At your level no… if you try and fail, it will alarm them.” Xukong answered.

~Sigh~

”I can't take that risk… at least not now. I'll just wait and watch then.” Lin Mu replied before actually looking at the menu.

”Have you decided what to get senior? I'm gonna get the braised treasure duck.” The female clerk spoke.
