Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 458 - Following Wu Hei

"Someone you know?" One of the men that were sitting along with Wu Hei asked.

"No..." Wu Hei shook his head.

"Hmm... he is indeed quite strange. If I had not sensed his peak stage core condensation realm cultivation base, I would have just assumed it was some random cultivator taking advantage of their host.

Even his clothes look rather similar to those of the peasants." Another man commented.

"He’s at the peak stage? What?" A man who was wearing a Grey shirt spoke.

His body was relatively muscular than the others sitting here, and he had a hammer strapped to his back. He squinted his eyes as his spirit sense spread towards Lin Mu. He didn’t directly probe him though, and merely sensed the faint fluctuation coming from his body.

His brows furrowed as he fiddled his fingers.

"Anything wrong?" His companion asked after seeing his reaction.

"While his spirit Qi is quite apparent... I cannot sense the vital energy within him." The man with the hammer replied.

"That’s normal though, if you have not directly probed his body, you wouldn’t be able to check his vital energy, anyway." The companion replied.

"I know that. But I am not speaking in that sense. There’s this feeling... I can’t explain it fully, but it’s like his aura... it is that of a predator hiding in his den, ready to attack at the first sight of provocation." The man with the hammer explained.

After hearing the words of the man, the rest of them couldn’t help but take another look at Lin Mu, who had now finished the second round of dishes and was asking for the next round.

"We should finish up here, Master has ordered us to complete the check up quickly. The next shipment should not be delayed." Wu Hei urged.

"Yes, we cannot waste master’s time." The others chimed in and returned to their previous discussion.

While Wu Hei’s companions were busy in the discussion, Wu Hei secretly glanced at Lin Mu again.

’Is that...’

***

Lin Mu was now on his fourth round of dishes, and the people in the restaurant had gotten used to it. They just put him as an anomaly. It wasn’t as if there were no cultivators who ate that much, it was just that they were quite rare and they thus ended up considering him as one of them.

As long as Lin Mu was paying the cost of his meal and not bothering them, they had no right to speak about it, anyway.

Tongguo Bing had also gotten numb to Lin Mu’s appetite after the third round and was now eating her own food little by little. Unlike Lin Mu, who was looking to just stuff his mouth, she wanted to enjoy and savor the flavor of the dish she had ordered.

The dish was actually quite filling and all of the dishes they had ordered contained some low grade spirit herbs and meat of spirit beasts. This could not be found on the lower floors and was exclusive to the fourth floor and above.

Those on the third and second floor could only enjoy some food with low grade spirit herbs but no spirit beast meat, while those on the first floor could only eat normal vegetables with body tempering realm beast meat.

Lin Mu ate a total of five rounds of dishes and only stopped because he noticed Wu Hei and his group were about to leave. He quickly wiped his face with a napkin and stood up.

"You’re going senior?" Tongguo Bing questioned.

"Yes, you can continue eating and if you want to order more." Lin Mu said before looking towards the waiter. "There’s still more money left in the tab right?" he asked.

"Ah, yes sir. She can order more food if she wants." The waiter hurriedly responded.

"See, now you can enjoy more. I have a few tasks to do so I’ll be heading off." Lin Mu said before leaving the restaurant.

Lin Mu had ensured that Wu Hei and his companions were a bit ahead of him, so that they wouldn’t find him to be suspicious of following them. Lin Mu’s spirit sense was extended fully as he kept an eye on them all.

He had known when the companions of Wu Hei and him were looking at him back at the restaurant. He had done this intentionality as he wanted to see if they would be bothered by him, or if Wu Hei would recognize him. Lin Mu got the idea that while the rest of them were a bit interested in him, due to how he was eating, Wu Hei himself had only taken a couple of glances.

Spying on people was now quite easy for Lin Mu as he simply sank into the ground using Phase while his spirit sense kept observing them. With his increased cultivation base, it was no problem for him to hide for days on end using phase if he needed to. He simply had a lot of spirit Qi.

Wu Hei and his companions soon split up and went on their own ways after a short distance and Lin Mu continued after Wu Hei. He didn’t want to give up on him right now and knew from the way they were conversing at the restaurant, he was the one leading them.

If he could get Wu Hei, it wouldn’t be a problem for Lin Mu to get the rest of his companions either. Lin Mu followed after him for about fifteen minutes, after which he had reached a rather empty area. They were currently near the city wall of the southwestern part.

This area was a bit less developed than the other parts of the city, but it was still quite better than the northern town. Lin Mu’s spirit sense checked the area but above the ground and below it but did not find anyone here.

"This makes it a bit easy for me." Lin Mu muttered and decided to act.
