Chapter 575: 446: Twelve years, one statement breaks through



Teacher De’s healing ability was extremely strong. After this rest, Chu Mu even felt that his soul power had recovered quite a bit.

“You little fellow are truly famous now.” Chu Mu had just woken up and heard Teacher De’s words in his ears.

As Chu Mu gradually became more awake, he understood that Teacher De was referring to the World’s Chosen competition. It was a reputation that every Soul Pet Master wanted, and Chu Mu would never reject it.

Of course, Chu Mu had no reason to be complacent about this matter. For him, this small bit of glory and fame was just a small step towards his goal. His name on the first tier of the Glory Board was still ranked quite far back. Chu Mu needed to raise his ranking to first place in the future.

“Teacher De, I still need your help with something.” Chu Mu didn’t hesitate to ask Teacher De for help, taking out the things he had collected and hoping that Teacher De could find someone to help him appraise them.

“What are these things that you brought back?” Teacher De asked puzzledly.

“They are things from the soil, and they are important to me,” Chu Mu said.

“Although I, the old man, am not the highest spirit master, I’m good at appraising some miscellaneous things. Just hand them to me, and I’ll see if I can use the facilities in the Healing Hall to appraise them directly for you,” said Teacher De.

“Thank you very much.” Chu Mu quickly expressed his gratitude.

“There are a few people outside who have been waiting to see you. Go show them that you’re still alive. It shouldn’t take me long to appraise these things,” said Teacher De.

Chu Mu nodded, put on his coat, and walked towards the Healing Hall.

As expected, there were several people sitting in the Healing Hall, including Ye Qingzi, Ye Wansheng, Ting Lan, Shang Heng, his maidservant Jia Jing, and a man sitting next to Ting Lan.

Chu Mu had not seen this man before. He was whispering something to Ting Lan, and judging from her tone and demeanor, this man seemed to be someone Ting Lan respected.

Shang Heng sat next to the man, and from his expression, it was clear that the man’s position was above his.

Chu Mu was secretly curious. Shang Heng and Ting Lan were already considered high-ranking youths in Soul Hall’s young generation. What kind of person could make them unintentionally reveal such a lower-status subtle demeanor?

The man didn’t look much older than Chu Mu. He seemed to be of an age between the third and second tier. He was dressed modestly and looked no different from an ordinary Soul Hall youth. He had a handsome face, not as regal as many other nobles, but definitely attractive. As for his temperament, he didn’t display any overbearing arrogance. Although he wasn’t the gentle and humble type, he at least gave people the impression of being unrestrained. From his dark brown eyes, one could feel his confidence and his unique independent thinking…

After observing the man, Chu Mu soon discovered a faint scent coming from him. Chu Mu was already familiar with the scent: a delicate blend of light herbal and floral fragrances with a hint of a maiden’s unique aroma. Every time Chu Mu smelled it, he felt something stirring in his heart and couldn’t help wanting to embrace it and take a deep whiff.

Ye Qingzi was naturally the source of the fragrance. She stood in front of Chu Mu, looking as beautiful as a delicate flower one would admire without wanting to pick…

“Thank heaven and earth, you’ve come back alive!” Ye Wansheng’s tone and demeanor were the most exaggerated as he suddenly walked between Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi and hugged them like long-lost friends.

After hugging them, Ye Wansheng quickly pushed Chu Mu towards Ye Qingzi, so that Chu Mu could smell her scent even more clearly.

Chu Mu quickly understood Ye Wansheng’s intentions. He couldn’t be awkward at this moment, so he opened his arms and decisively embraced her soft and fragrant body.

This hug was different from the last one. This time, Chu Mu’s hands passed directly through Ye Qingzi’s slender waist, making the embrace even more intimate.

Ye Qingzi’s cheeks instantly turned red. Chu Mu’s embrace was even more presumptuous, almost like taking advantage of a situation. The feeling of heat surging throughout her body and the warmth of Chu Mu’s body were burning her. Although the heat was only slightly higher than normal body temperature, it felt like it was about to set her ablaze.

Ye Wansheng was stunned for a moment before laughing, “Ha ha, you’re pretty quick on the uptake.”

Shang Heng also stood by with a grin on his face, while Ting Lan just held a smile.

“Okay, let’s all just go about our business, knowing that he’s alive and not missing any limbs is good enough,” Ye Wansheng was very skilled at creating opportunities for Chu Mu and didn’t bother asking who the man was. He just helped Chu Mu clean up the environment.

“I was planning to meet him and get acquainted, but since he has more important things to do, maybe next time.” The man didn’t mind and could clearly see that Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were at a crucial stage in establishing their relationship. He left on his own after summoning Ting Lan and Shang Heng.

Ting Lan and Shang Heng didn’t say much, and when Ye Wansheng spoke, they casually said a few words and left the hall.

Soon, the hall was left with only Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi. Although Chu Mu had already released Ye Qingzi, his big hand was still dishonestly placed on Ye Qingzi’s soft waist.

Not only did Ye Qingzi have a pair of enchanting legs, but her waist was so slender that Chu Mu’s hand could almost cover it. When his hand accidentally slid down a little, he couldn’t help but marvel at the wonderful curves of Ye Qingzi’s waist and hips, which were both irresistible and beguiling.

Ye Qingzi’s cheeks were red with embarrassment, and she stood there shyly, at a loss for words.

As Ye Wansheng had said, it was a rare sight to see this block of ice melt, and the charming beauty she revealed in her bashfulness was even more captivating, leaving Chu Mu with a silly grin on his face, unsure of what to do next.

“Have… have there been… any developments?” Ye Qingzi finally whispered so softly that only she could hear herself.

Chu Mu, with his good ears, could hear her clearly, so he took her hand and sat down beside her, describing to her the two theories, bloodlines, and motives he had about the defecting girl.

Ye Qingzi’s ability to analyze was also quite strong. Chu Mu often consulted with her about things he had difficulty understanding, and she was always able to enlighten him.

“Are you sure it happened twelve years ago? You’re 21 now?” Ye Qingzi asked softly.

“To be precise, I was a few months short of ten years old, and I’ll be 22 in a few months. Before the World Decree, they tested my Spirit Ring. That should be my most accurate age,” Chu Mu explained.

The so-called Spirit Ring, is like the rings on a tree, which can determine how old a person is. All participants in the World Decree underwent a soul age test to determine their age. This method was to prevent people older than 30 years old from mixing in with the prestigious competitions for the younger generation by taking some life Spirit Liquids to make themselves look younger, thus disrupting the balance of the competition.

Chu Mu was about 15 years old when he was on Nightmare Demon Island, and in just over half a year, he entered Prison Island. Three years later, he arrived at Nightmare Demon City and settled the family matters when he was almost 19 years old.

Liu Binglan originally intended to take Chu Mu away when he was 18, but the incident with Chu Tianmang led to another wave of unrest, prompting Liu Binglan to delay her entry to the West Region by a year.

Chu Mu didn’t intentionally calculate his own age, and his previous estimate was about 21. He didn’t expect that he would be almost 22 years old now.

People under 24 years old are considered third-tier. In fact, 21-year-old Chu Mu is one of the younger ones in the third tier. Those who are below 20 years old are mostly just here to join in the excitement, and they have little chance of competing for glory.

“Push the time back twelve years,” Ye Qingzi suggested.

“Go back twelve years?” Chu Mu didn’t understand the meaning of Ye Qingzi’s words.

However, when Ye Qingzi stared at him coyly, Chu Mu suddenly understood and excitedly squeezed Ye Qingzi’s tender, white palm even tighter.

“It’s the World Decree!” Chu Mu exclaimed.

Ye Qingzi nodded seriously, “According to the timeline, you arrived at the Di Sheng Domain between nine and ten years old. It’s very likely that it was not long after the World Decree. I don’t know if it’s because I’m too sensitive to time, but this timing seems a bit suspicious.”

“Suspicious or not, the Holy Guards have precise records of the time everyone enters the Holy Land. We can find out the exact time by asking the Holy Guard Leader,” Chu Mu said excitedly.

Ye Qingzi’s words had been an epiphany for Chu Mu. Seeing that he was still holding her small hand, he didn’t hesitate to lean over, forcefully kiss the cute, red cheeks of Ye Qingzi, and say, “Qingzi, you are amazing.”

With the red haze spreading across her face again, Ye Qingzi pouted, “We don’t even know if it’s a coincidence yet, you rascal.”

“At least we have a clue!” Chu Mu said.

Regardless of whether the analysis was correct or not, Chu Mu directly took Ye Qingzi and ran to the Di Sheng Holy Temple, first determining the exact time he had entered the Di Sheng Domain. At least this would make the clues clearer.

It could also confirm whether the time he entered the Di Sheng Domain was during the World’s Chosen Competition period or not.

(Regarding Chu Mu’s age issue, a careful calculation and clear statement of the timeline can prove that Chu Mu is indeed over 21 years old. From Li City to the World Decree, it had been more than a year. The lack of clarity in the timeline was Little Fish’s mistake.)
