Chapter 208 - 177: Secret_l



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.

It seemed his competition yesterday had made quite an impact, and only that could have caused so much attention.

Another reason was, in this round, there were only a few remaining competitors, each of whom was quite famous. Xu Mu, who was previously unknown, naturally drew more attention.

Xu Mu didn’t mind. He found a corner to stand in, both observing the surroundings and waiting for the competition to start.

Compared to yesterday, the number of spectators had increased again, especially the number of Foundation Establishment disciples – – they were almost doubled.

A few Golden Core Stage elders sat high above on the clouds.

“You’ve come quite quickly. I thought I would have to wait a bit!”

Not long after, an excited Shang YaoYao also hurried over, locating Xu Mu in the comer.

“I came early since I had nothing better to do! What about you, how many Spirit Stones did you earn over these rounds?”

“Not much! Not much!”

“How much exactly?” Xu Mu asked persistently.

He was entitled to a part of it.

“Let’s not talk about this first, what happened yesterday? Your odds fell quite a bit!” Shang YaoYao counter-asked.

This woman was clearly trying to fleece him of his Spirit Stones, but luckily, he had anticipated this.

“Perhaps I was too harsh yesterday! But I had no choice, the ones who made it this far aren’t weak, and even if I won by trickery, no one would believe me!”

“I know that, but anyway, try to hold back, and prolong the time, these are Spirit Stones we’re talking about!”

“I know!”

As if he’d get any!

Xu Mu grumbled inwardly.

He had long decided that after this competition, he would part ways with Shang YaoYao. The Spirit Stones would serve as the return on her investment.

The reason for doing so was not due to Shang YaoYao’s nature. Although Shang YaoYao was greedy for wealth, she wasn’t miserly. She always chatted incessantly but never really held back on providing resources.

The main reason was that Shang YaoYao could no longer provide for him.

Initially, Xu Mu thought that Shang YaoYao’s agreement with him was on behalf of her family, but later he found out it was Shang YaoYao’s personal decision.

Which means that the resources Xu Mu had consumed in these years of cultivation were provided by Shang YaoYao, not her family.

Sustaining him through the Qi Cultivation Stage was still manageable, but during the Foundation Establishment Stage, Shang YaoYao was already starting to struggle.

Of course, Xu Mu could let Shang YaoYao facilitate a formal association with her family’s business, but clearly, there was no need. As long as he could come in first, he would have many better options.

While the two were talking, a light screen appeared in the air, displaying the names of the contenders.

“Qian ZhengYang? Why does he seem familiar?”

Upon seeing the name of Xu Mu’s opponent, Shang YaoYao voiced her confusion.

“He’s the one who injured Brother Li, you forgot.” Xu Mu’s eyes shone, a trace of a smile on his lips.

Indeed, enemies often cross each other’s path!

At first, it was just a casual comment, who would’ve thought they’d actually meet.

“What! It’s that bastard! You must teach him a lesson, take revenge for Li Heng! Speaking of which, where is Li Heng?”

Shang YaoYao finally caught on, she looked around but didn’t see Li Heng. “Brother Li couldn’t come due to an issue! Don’t worry, I’ll make this guy understand the capabilities of the Lonely Sword Peak!” Xu Mu chuckled.

It wasn’t that he was petty and vengeful, he just found the incident rather interesting.

“Good… no, no! You have to conceal your strength!”

Shang YaoYao suddenly remembered she still had to earn Spirit Stones.

About the revenge-

Maybe leave it for next time!

“Don’t worry, it wouldn’t take much strength to deal with him.”

After a while, Qi Yue came over to greet them, and the two chatted for a bit. They only said their farewells and parted when the competition was about to start.

The first to take the arena were still the prideful Lu Baiyu and Qu Qingdream. They both unsurprisingly defeated their opponents. Bai Yingwu and Qi Yue were victorious as well, but their battles weren’t as effortless as Lu Baiyu and Qu Qingdream’s.

“I didn’t expect that kid to be this strong,”

Watching Qi Yue’s match, Shang YaoYao couldn’t help but give him a compliment.

“His talent was ranked within the top ten back then, so this level of strength isn’t surprising,” Xu Mu responded with a smile.

“But compared to you, he’s still far behind!” Shang YaoYao added disdainfully.

“It’s not the same!”

Xu Mu shook his head.

The other guy had real talent, while he had an external advantage.

“What’s not the same?”

“Let’s not talk about that, it’s my turn now!”
