Chapter 369: Chapter 338: Inborn Deficiency _1
The sea was stormy, but when it reached Xu Mu, it naturally calmed down, and there was not even a ripple, becoming as clear as a mirror.
Xu Mu stared off into the distant sky, watching the approaching Escape Light.
Whoosh!
The Escape Light landed in front of Xu Mu, transforming into two girls dressed in blue and pink palace outfits. One was tall and quiet, and the other was petite and cute, exuding quirkiness and spirit.
Upon seeing Xu Mu, the two girls’ eyes involuntarily flashed with a trace of fear, but they forced smiles onto their faces.
“Daddy!”
These two girls were none other than Xu Tianmei, Xu Yiren’s daughter, and Xu Tianlei, Zhang Tianluo’s daughter.
“You two are really daring, running to wherever danger is!” Xu Mu said calmly, looking at the two.
He had noticed the two of them when he first arrived at Blood Shadow City, but he had not made contact with them because he didn’t want to attract the attention of the people from the Blood Demon Sect during the auction.
Now that all matters have been taken care of, naturally, them staying in such a dangerous place is out of the question.
“Daddy, we…”
The two unconsciously shivered, wanting to explain.
“No need to explain, aren’t you two insisting on exploring the Cang Ming Ocean Territory? Coincidentally, I’m heading there as well, let’s go together!”
“What?”
The two showed a bitter expression.
With their father Xu Mu accompanying them, there would hardly be freedom for them. Their once rare chance to venture outside for experience given by their mothers would probably ruin now.
“What? You don’t want to?”
“No! No, we do! It’s just…”
The two nodded repeatedly.
Although Xu Mu had never hit or scolded them, they felt inexplicably scared whenever they saw him.
Xu Mu didn’t say much else. He let out a Flying Boat and ordered the two to go on board. He took control of the Flying Boat while dividing his attention to enter the God Refining Tripod, checking on Ming Lingchun’s condition.
“Teacher! What are you doing here?”
Ming Lingchun, who was idly lazing around, heard the sound and quickly turned his head, only to see a young man from the Snake Clan standing behind him. Recognizing his features, Ming Lingchun couldn’t help but express surprise and delight.
This Snake Clan’s young man was the second reincarnation of Xu Mu, although now very different from before. This second reincarnation was now an empty shell with just a hint of Xu Mu’s Divine Intent.
However, given Ming Lingchun’s current state, he couldn’t even tell the difference.
“Never mind how I got here, so you got captured by humans again?” Xu Mu frowned.
“A few years ago, I sensed that your soul plate became faint. I thought you were in danger, so I sneaked out to save you. Then, I ran into humans and got caught!” Ming Lingchun scratched his head with a naive expression as he laughed.
Due to innate deficiencies, Ming Lingchun’s personality was extremely simple, so much so that even after being tortured to a state where he was unrecognizable, he still remained the same. Some might call him a fool.
His ability to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage was all due to Xu Mu’s support, coupled with his own bloodline, otherwise, he would struggle to even reach the beginning stages of Qi Cultivation.
“To find me?”
Xu Mu furrowed his brows.
A few years ago was when he had been at a crucial juncture, withdrawing all his reincarnations, so naturally, his soul plate had weakened.
But given Ming Lingchun’s position, he should have been prevented from leaving by the Sea Race’s Imperial Clan.
“Wasn’t there anyone to stop you when you left?”
“No! I used an Invisibility Technique and fooled everyone!” Ming Lingchun said with a bit of self-satisfaction.
“…”
Xu Mu was somewhat speechless.
This wasn’t fooling anyone, this was clearly being abandoned!
Was it Ming Ling Yulan who did this, or was it someone else in the Imperial Clan?
Xu Mu wasn’t too sure, not that he needed to be.
