Chapter 293: Chapter 262: Soul Stabilization_1
This guy!
Upon seeing that Xu Mu didn’t respond, Qiao Qianqian couldn’t help but grumble internally.
The words she had prepared went unsaid.
She had tried to show goodwill, but it was like casting amorous glances at a blind man.
This was a misunderstanding on Qiao Qianqian’s part. Xu Mu didn’t respond not because he didn’t want to, but because he didn’t know how to. Even though she showed clear hostility, Xu Mu still didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.
It’s best not to provoke opponents that can’t be dealt with directly.
After Wang Yongan took his seat, the banquet continued. Li Youlan, sitting at the main seat, held a jade cup, her expression focused on the song and dance in the middle of the banquet.
Time passed unnoticed until the banquet finally neared its end. Li Youlan dismissed the dancers and musicians, stood up, and asked, “Is everyone enjoying themselves?”
“Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness! We’re having a great time!” the crowd responded as they stood up.
“In that case, let’s call it a night! Everyone, go back and rest!”
Having said that, Li Youlan left her seat, seemingly about to bring this banquet to an anticlimactic close.
“Wait a moment, Your Highness!”
At this moment, Lu Kui stood up.
“Friend Lu, what else could you need?”
“I heard that Friend Xu has profound Divine Skills and am quite curious. I wonder if Your Highness would allow Xu to give us a demonstration and allow us to broaden our horizons!”
“What do you think, Friend Xu?”
Li Youlan didn’t follow Lu Kui’s remark but instead asked Xu Mu’s opinion.
“All the skills I practice are for combat, so it might not be suitable for demonstration,” Xu Mu tried to decline.
Who would want to be made a spectacle of?
However, it was clear that Lu Kui, after mulling over for a long time, did not intend to let him off so easily.
“If Friend Xu doesn’t mind, I can be a sparring partner and have a friendly match with him, which could facilitate your demonstration,” Lu Kui, with narrowed eyes, suggested in a friendly manner.
It looked as if he was thoughtfully providing Xu Mu with an opportunity to perform.
“What if I accidentally hurt you?” Xu Mu continued to decline.
“Friendly competition can inevitably lead to injuries. There’s no need to worry about it,” Lu Kui persisted.
“In that case, the two of you can spar. It will add to the liveliness of this banquet!” Li Youlan made a final decision bluntly.
“As you command!”
Xu Mu responded with a bow.
“Let’s stop at the indicative point. Instead of going to the practice field, why don’t we have a simple spar in the air?” Lu Kui proposed.
“Alright!”
Xu Mu nodded.
All the Golden Pill Cultivators quickly flew up into the sky, leaving only maids and servants on the ground.
“Will Sir be alright?” Rou’er looked up at the sky with a worried look on her face.
She had just been assigned to Xu Mu and didn’t want anything bad to happen to him so soon.
“I don’t know!”
Xin’er shook her head, revealing a trace of nervousness in her expression.
The other maids and servants also looked up, but the people flew too high, further obscured by the night, making it impossible for them to see clearly. They could only see a few black spots.
…
High above in the sky, against the fierce wind and the moonlight shining on their shoulders, several people appeared like Immortals freely wandering among the clouds.
“His Lifebound weapon is the Soul Chasing Spike that can directly attack the soul. Be careful!”
Qiao Qianqian transmitted her Divine Intent to Xu Mu, once again showing her goodwill.
Xu Mu didn’t understand why she was helping him, but he thanked her anyway.
“Thank you!”
Hearing Xu Mu’s words of thanks, a smile spread across Qiao Qianqian’s face.
Xu Mu and Lu Kui stood facing each other a good distance apart, with others dispersed around them.
“Are you ready, Friend Xu?” Lu Kui asked amicably.
