After leaving the Medicine Hall, Xu Mu immediately rushed to Lonely Sword Peak. On the way, he happened to run into Shang YaoYao, who was coming back.
“Why are you here? How is Sister Luo?”
“Well, I don’t know.” Shang YaoYao spread his hands.
“You were the one who took her, how could you not know?” Xu Mu asked with a
frown.
“I initially intended to take her to the Medicine Hall, but she woke up halfway and insisted on going back to Lonely Sword Peak. When we got there, she went alone to the top, looking for Drunkard Shifu.” Shang YaoYao complained.
Xu Mu frowned and looked towards the distant mountain peak enveloped in mist, a variety of thoughts flickered in his mind.
Luo Qingchen’s unusual actions led him to believe that there was likely a secret hidden at Lonely Sword Peak.
However, Xu Mu had no intention of digging deeper.
His main reason for joining the Tianhe Sect was to secure the Heavenly Origin water, not to pry into other people’s secrets.
“If that’s the case, then all’s well! I believe Sister Luo has her reasons for doing
this!”
“I think so too!” Shang YaoYao said.
“Let’s go back!”
Xu Mu continued flying to Lonely Sword Peak.
“Aren’t you going to watch the competition?”
“Bunch of chumps pecking at each other, nothing worth watching!
“I didn’t expect your arrogance to grow!” Shang YaoYao said with a hint of
teasing.
“By the way, how did your competition go?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“Then I won’t accompany you back. I have to go collect my money!
Shang YaoYao’s eyes shone, and he rushed towards the mountain gate.
Returning to Lonely Sword Peak, Li Heng sat alone in the courtyard in desolation. Upon seeing that Li Heng did not respond when Xu Mu approached him, Xu Mu decided not to disturb him. Instead, he returned to his own courtyard to refine his spiritual power in preparation for a breakthrough in his Foundation Establishment.
He made up his mind to break through immediately after acquiring the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Given his current foundations, he could break through even without the Foundation Establishment Pill. However, with the Pill, he would have ample room to manoeuvre and solidify his foundations.
This was typical thinking for disciples who hold back their cultivation in order not to move up prematurely.
In the evening, Big Bull and Er Niu came to call him for dinner.
Luo Qingchen hadn’t returned, and neither had Shang YaoYao.
“Brother Three, Brother Four, your cooking skills are getting better and
better!”
Xu Mu complimented while eating.
“Hehehe!”
The two of them just laughed stupidly upon hearing Xu Mu’s praise, but their
joy was genuine.
Li Heng was eating with little appetite, seemingly distracted.
“Brother!”
“Brother, is there something?”
Xu Mu looked up at Li Heng.
“That… Sister Luo…”
Li Heng struggled to speak, and then finally, “Never mind, it’s nothing! Finish your meal and get some rest. You have a competition tomorrow!”
He ended up not saying what he had in mind. Xu Mu didn’t probe further, acknowledging with a hmph before going back to his room to rest after finishing dinner.
The next day, Luo Qingchen was still nowhere to be seen, and Li Heng showed no intention of going up the mountain to check. On his face, Xu Mu saw no worry, as if he was certain that nothing would happen to Luo Qingchen.
Xu Mu didn’t probe any further and went to the competition at Qingyun Palace alone.
As for Li Heng, he said he would wait for Luo Qingchen, thus he declined to go and only asked Xu Mu to be cautious.
“That’s the disciple from Lonely Sword Peak!”
“Really? Are you sure?”
“I think he’s going to be done today. None of those who have gotten to this round are weak!”
Xu Mu didn’t expect that as soon as he arrived, he would attract the attention of many, all of them discussing him.
