Chapter 458: Following Wu Hei (1/2)

”Someone you know?” One of the men that were sitting along with Wu Hei asked.

”No…” Wu Hei shook his head.

”Hmm… he is indeed quite strange. If I had not sensed his peak stage core condensation realm cultivation base, I would have just assumed it was some random cultivator taking advantage of their host.

Even his clothes look rather similar to those of the peasants.” Another man commented.

”He's at the peak stage? What?” A man who was wearing a Grey shirt spoke.

His body was relatively muscular than the others sitting here, and he had a hammer strapped to his back. He squinted his eyes as his spirit sense spread towards Lin Mu. He didn't directly probe him though, and merely sensed the faint fluctuation coming from his body.

His brows furrowed as he fiddled his fingers.

”Anything wrong?” His companion asked after seeing his reaction.

”While his spirit Qi is quite apparent… I cannot sense the vital energy within him.” The man with the hammer replied.

”That's normal though, if you have not directly probed his body, you wouldn't be able to check his vital energy, anyway.” The companion replied.

”I know that. But I am not speaking in that sense. There's this feeling… I can't explain it fully, but it's like his aura… it is that of a predator hiding in his den, ready to attack at the first sight of provocation.” The man with the hammer explained.

After hearing the words of the man, the rest of them couldn't help but take another look at Lin Mu, who had now finished the second round of dishes and was asking for the next round.

”We should finish up here, Master has ordered us to complete the check up quickly. The next shipment should not be delayed.” Wu Hei urged.

”Yes, we cannot waste master's time.” The others chimed in and returned to their previous discussion.

While Wu Hei's companions were busy in the discussion, Wu Hei secretly glanced at Lin Mu again.

'Is that…'
