Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 349 - Letter For Mu Lin?

Chapter 349 - Letter For Mu Lin?

Apparently, the lock down had been called off after the guards offended a few influential cultivators. They had still been unable to find any culprit and even the mayor's wife had given her approval to stop the check. Then there was the news about the attack at Lord Cai's house.

But the strangest thing was the culprit they thought was the thief that came to Lord Cai's house was none other than the servant who went missing from the Tri cauldron peony sect's courtyard.

'Huh? How the h.e.l.l did they come to this conclusion?' Lin Mu wondered, but showed no expression on his face.

Apparently, since the servant disappeared without a trace around the same time, the attempted robbery happened, they put the blame on the servant. People had thought that this would mean that there would now be a conflict between Lord Cai and the Tri cauldron peony sect, but it was not so.

Rather, the news of a collaboration was spread by them officially. The Tri cauldron peony sect would be investing in the Alluring Wisteria pavilion. The people were all shocked by this and wondered if Lord Cai had taken advantage of the robber and taken compensation in this form from the Tri cauldron peony sect.

"That's rather smart, I must say…" Xukong suddenly spoke.

"What do you mean senior?" Lin Mu questioned.

"We know that the old man was threatened by the Gu legion and was under watch by them. By taking advantage of their current situation and twisting a few facts, they made it seem as if it was now a collaboration under forced conditions.

This would also make the Gu legion think twice about attacking him and would perhaps even make the people think well of the Tri cauldron peony sect by showing the people that they are not unreasonable. This way they kill two birds with one arrow." Xukong answered.

Lin Mu thought over it and realized that it indeed seemed to be likely. This way a few future problems of theirs could be solved. Then another thing was that due to the new investment, Lord Cai would be organizing a celebratory banquet tomorrow night.

A lot of influential people were going to be invited, and the alluring wisteria pavilion was already getting ready for it. Lin Mu also heard that Lord Hei was invited as well, along with a lot of people that lived in this neighborhood. Which was obvious considering all the high cla.s.s people who lived here.

"Oh and master, this letter came for you too. You were cultivating before, so I did not dare disturb you." The servant said before pa.s.sing a letter to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu looked at the letter and found there to be a seal on it too.

"Who would send me a letter, though? No one knows me here, except for Wu Hei. But if it were him, he would simply send someone from the Hei corps." Lin Mu questioned.

"I do not know either master, the messenger simply said it was addressed to a certain Young lord Mu Lin. Which I believe is the name you gave." The servant said.

The servant was also a part of the Hei Corps and thus knew who Lin Mu was. They had already been informed of Lin Mu's fake ident.i.ty.

"Mu Lin? Huh…" Lin Mu muttered as he broke the seal on the letter and unfolded it.

"To Young Lord Mu Lin,

I am Lord Cai, the owner of the Alluring Wisteria pavilion. I was informed that my people made a few mistakes when you visited my establishment and for that I am incredibly sorry.

I'm sending you this letter as an invitation to the banquet celebrating the new collaboration between my Establishment and the Tri cauldron peony sect.

I hope the young lord would give us another chance to serve him. We guarantee that you will be fully satisfied, so please do grace us with your presence tomorrow night."

"What the… how did he find this out?" Lin Mu said, feeling a bit surprised.

The servant simply shook his head, showing that he did not know.

"Well, it wouldn't have been that hard to figure it out with their connections I suppose. The name on this courtyard is set as Mu Lin, right? Then, considering that and your status as a cultivator, this Lord Cai must have found it out somehow." Xukong hypothesized.

Lin Mu didn't know what to do except nod his head at this.

~Sigh~

"Clean this up," Lin Mu said to the servant to take away the empty dishes.

"Now the question remains… do we go there?" Lin Mu stated.

"Hmm, the choice is up to you. But think of it this way, since we know that this Lord Cai is enemies with the Gu legion along with the Tri cauldron peony sect, perhaps you can take advantage of this." Xukong suggested.

Lin Mu stroked his chin as he thought over it for a few minutes.

"I guess we can attend the banquet. Perhaps we will get some more information there too, seeing as there are gonna be all the influential people of the city there." Lin Mu decided.

Lin Mu then called the servant again and told him to inform Lord Hei about it. The servant accepted it and immediately went to inform him about it. Thirty minutes later, the servant returned with Wu Hei's reply.

"Master, the lord has said that he will attend the banquet too since you are going to attend it. He will also be sending some things tomorrow that he said you should take a look over before going to the banquet." The servant reported.

"Alright, I understand." Lin Mu said and dismissed the servant.

~Poof~

Lin Mu's head hit the pillow as he laid down on the bed with his hands behind the head.

"So we have our plan for tomorrow cut out." Lin Mu spoke.

"Indeed, now you should just think of anything that may be necessary be for going there." Xukong replied.

"Yes, senior…" Lin Mu said before falling asleep and appearing in the Sleepscape.
