Chapter 530: Lin Mus Act (1/2)

A big question still stood for Shaoyan Qianyu; if a disciple was intending on harming another fellow disciple, she had to take an action for it.

But just to know the rest of the story, she decided to hold back.

”Tell me more.” She said.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and recited the story that he had prepared all this time. He had practiced this many times in his heart so that it was believable.

Overall, the story went like this:

He was Wu Lian, who came from a small village. His parents were killed by a disciple of the Tri Cauldron peony sect casually just because they offended him by not knowing his identity. After that the disciple humiliated him and stepped on him, telling him that trash like him who can never cultivate should know his place. Time passed and Wu Lian took an oath that he would definitely take revenge on that disciple and had been diligently cultivating all this time.

If one were to hear it, they would find it to be quite generic and they would have heard it from a lot of storytellers that roamed the settlements. Shaoyan Qianyu also found all of it to be a bit too much and doubted it.

”So when is it that you will let your name be known?” She asked, just to entertain him a bit.

”When I reach the Nascent Soul realm.” Lin Mu stated without hesitation.

Shaoyan Qianyu had a strange look in her eyes, which Lin Mu noticed quickly. Knowing what she was thinking, he closed his eyes for a moment before releasing his aura.

Suddenly the peak master's eyes went wide as she felt the full extent of his cultivation base.

”Absolute peak of the Core condensation realm…?” She muttered.

Lin Mu gently nodded his head and said, ”I have been hiding my capabilities all this time so that my enemy does not notice me and try to kill me beforehand. He and his background are quite strong and I cannot go against them yet.

I hope the peak master understands and keeps my identity hidden.” Lin Mu added.

Shaoyan Qianyu narrowed her eyes and asked, ”this enemy of yours… is he related to some elder?”

”Indeed, peak master… he is… quite strong and his background even stronger.” Lin Mu answered.

Shaoyan Qianyu almost face-palmed but managed to stop her to keep her appearance as the superior. Now she could honestly believe Lin Mu, as she knew of the people of the sect. She had been part of the sect for long enough to know how the elders behaved and how bad their offspring could be.

They were entitled and would act without a care in the world, when they went out of the sect. For them, commoners were less than dirt. Before she couldn't do much, even if she wanted to and thus could only ignore it.

She could understand Lin Mu's pain on a certain level, as she too was once a commoner.

~Sigh~
