Chapter 1868 - Who’s The Target? (2/2)

He went back to his place and was about to take a shower to get rid of the stench of blood on him when he saw a man in a dark red coat standing in the garden. The man had white hair and a pale face. His collars were slightly covering his face, and made his chin look pointier.

“Are you looking for me?” Mu Bai glanced at the European man with a puzzled face.

“There was an unclean presence in your house. I came to check it out,” the man replied.

“Unclean presence?” Mu Bai repeated.

“I can’t tell exactly what it is. Anyway, just be careful.” Bola did not stay for long. He brushed past Mu Bai.

Mu Bai frowned while staring at Bola’s back.

Mu Bai knew who Bola was. The vampire was like a secret guardian of Fanxue Mountain. He could usually see through any evil magic that was cast on Mu Ningxue or Fanxue Mountain.

Bola rarely showed himself, spending most of the time in deep slumber inside a hidden chamber to extend his lifespan. The fact that he had shown up in person meant something was serious enough to get his attention.

“Bola, was it some kind of Undead Magic?” Mu Bai stopped Bola and asked in a stern voice.

Bola halted in his tracks. He turned and glanced at Mu Bai’s house, “It’s like a phantom. It tried to enter Fanxue Mountain, but it fled in fear when it noticed the presence of Liu Ru and myself. Your house is fine. There’s nothing to worry about, but I have a feeling that thing is after you.”

“Bola, I did encounter something not long ago,” Mu Bai began.

“Tell Liu Ru about it, I’ve been out for too long. This place is perfect in every way, except for the fact that it’s too exposed to the sun. I can still smell sunlight at night…” Bola sighed.

Mo Fan had sent Bola to escort Lingling and the others back from Wanggui Town. Bola had trouble staying out for too long, especially during the season when the days were longer. He was only doing a routine checkup on Fanxue Mountain. The rest was no longer his concern. He was already being kind by warning Mu Bai about the potential danger.

“Alright, thank you,” Mu Bai conceded.

Bola waved his hand and straightened his collar before leaving in a hurry, as if he did not want anyone to see his face.

Mu Bai quickly sought out Liu Ru. She also had a sharp sense of smell. She walked around Mu Bai in a circle, as if she was sensing that Mu Bai had encountered something unclean.

Mu Bai explained the incident that befell Mu Xumian to Liu Ru. She replied after giving it some thought, “I think the thing is most likely after you, but Mu Xumian happened to be staying at your place, so she became the target instead. If you were the one who was Possessed, I don’t think it would have ended well.”

Mu Bai nodded. If he was the victim, it meant no one could possibly have figured out it was Undead Magic, nor would anyone have cast the Sacred Chant on him in time. He would have died in front of the panicking young graduate. Even the old Healer would not have been able to save his life.

Mu Bai was extremely worried on his way back, because he was suspicious that Mu Xumian had fallen victim to the Curse because she was staying at his place. If it wasn’t Mu Xumian’s enemy, it meant the corrupted existence was supposed to come after him!

“Did you tell Mo Fan about it?” Liu Ru asked.

Mu Bai shook his head. He was unsure what was going on. He knew both Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were focusing on their cultivation, so he did not want to disturb them.

Besides, he could not think of anyone who would want him dead. When did he ever offend such a powerful Undead Mage?
