Chapter 638: Confusion And Clarification (1/2)

Jingming Shang watched on as the man in front of him lifted his mask and revealed his face. He had not been able to recognize the voice and hoped that the face would be somewhat of a clue.

”Huh? Who are you?” Jingming Shang questioned, still unable to recognize him.

Lin Mu raised his brows upon seeing Jingming Shang's reaction.

”Hmm… guess this is actually good. At least Gu Yao and the rest would not be able to recognize me easily if Jingming Shang can't do it.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

”Who are you and why did you kidnap me?” Jingming Shang asked, seeing that the kidnapper was mumbling to himself.

'Who is this guy? If I knew someone with a face as handsome and a demeanor like him, I would have definitely remembered him. Wait it minute… could it perhaps be the elder of someone I offended?' Jingming Shang wondered, getting even more nervous than before.

Seeing that Jingming Shang was clearly in the dark about who he was, Lin Mu decided to say it himself. ”It's me, Lin Mu.”

”Lin Mu?” Jingming Shang repeated the name and tried to match it in his memories.

The only names that came up that he knew about were a few small merchants, commoners and a boy wanted by every cultivation sect in the world. He was sure that the man in front of him was none of those.

”Old Man Jing Wei and Duan Ke… do you remember now?” Lin Mu stated.

As soon as Jingming Shang heard those two names, his eyes went wide.

”How do you… wait, you're that boy! That boy in that shop back then.” Jingming Shang finally recognized.

It was hard for him to match the features of that boy to the man in front of him, but once he considered the years that had passed since then, he understood. But then fear filled him after that.

”No… not just that boy… you're THE Lin Mu, aren't you? The most wanted person in the world.” Jingming Shang said.

”What? I'm the most wanted person? I don't think I really saw any posters about me recently.” Lin Mu said, feeling confused. ”Though yes, I am the same person you saw in the shop with Jing Wei and Duan Ke back then.”

Jingming Shang calmed down a bit after hearing that. Originally, he had been confused about the identity of Lin Mu but now that it had been established he truly was the one linked to Jing Wei and Duan Ke, he felt relieved.

~phew~

”So they really didn't exaggerate back then, you really are quite strong.” Jingming Shang said.

”What do you mean?” Lin Mu questioned, feeling a bit disconnected.
