Chapter 697: Talking With Jing Luo (1/2)

”Huh, it's already morning.” Lin Mu spoke as he saw the sky starting to redden.

”It is morning.” Little Shrubby replied.

All around them, one could see bones and utensils lying around. It was evident that they had eaten a lot and had spent a lot of time in that as well. But despite the large amount of food the two of them had eaten, neither of them looked to be stuffed.

Rather, they looked normal and could even eat more. But Lin Mu knew it was enough for today and that he should get back to work.

”Well, that was a great night. We'll do it again sometime later. But now we need to find more Hong Lin trees…” But just as Lin Mu said this, he felt the Jade slip hum in the ring. ”Or not…”

Lin Mu took out the jade slip and saw that it was Jing Luo who had messaged him.

”Where are you?” Jing Luo questioned.

”I'm in the forest.” Lin Mu answered.

”Why are you in the forest? Weren't you looking for the clues to the Hei corps?” Jing Luo asked feeling a bit confused.

”It's a long story…” Lin Mu said. ”It'll be better if I explain to you in person.” He added.

”Alright, I'll wait for you.” Jing Luo replied.

Lin Mu then looked at Little Shrubby and spoke, ”seems like I'm gonna have to pause this excursion for a bit.”

Little Shrubby nodded and spoke, ”I'll continue searching for more Hong Lin trees then.”

”Yes, that'll be good.” Lin Mu said before flying away in the direction of the Hong Lin capital.

In about an hour, he reached the city and directly went to the courtyard they had rented for the time being. Since they had not taken any servants for service, the courtyard was empty.

~Creak~

The door of the room Jing Luo was staying in opened, and Lin Mu walked in. In there, he could see Jing Luo sitting on a mat on the ground while meditating. It was evident that he was still comprehending the information that Lin Mu had passed on to him.

'I'll wait till he is done…' Lin Mu thought to himself and sat down as well.

While doing this, he spread his spirit sense around and checked the city for any changes or anything interesting that may have happened. An hour passed like this and Jing Luo Finally woke up, prompting Lin Mu to withdraw his spirit sense.

”Are you done?” Lin Mu asked.

”Not even close. Now that I got a better look at the knowledge, I understand just how vast it is. It'll take me months to fully even go through it not to mention comprehend it. The more I learn the more I feel that it gets complex and I feel like the path in front of me which was nearly completed, extends further.” Jing Luo replied.

”No wonders, Jing Wei and Duan Ke preferred going to the Ancestral ground.” Lin Mu replied.
