Chapter 220: Chapter 189: Forceful Taking_i

“Xu Da! Xu Da!”

Shang YaoYao hurried out of the room, running into Xu Mu’s courtyard, and found that Xu Mu was packing his things. She sighed in relief.

“You’re awake! Much earlier than I expected!

Xu Mu stopped his actions, laughing.

Although this incarnation of his isn’t that powerful, his original body was still a master of the Golden Core Stage, and not an ordinary one at that. There was no way Shang YaoYao’s little tricks could fool him.

“Hmph!”

Seeing Xu Mu’s smile, Shang YaoYao’s original worry turned into annoyance.

“Did you use something last night?”

“What are you talking about! I don’t understand, I didn’t take any hangover-free pills in advance.”

Knowing she had lost the argument, Shang YaoYao could only grit her teeth and skip this topic.

“Where did Sister Lu go? You didn’t do anything bad, did you?”

“What bad thing?”

Shang YaoYao was left speechless by his question.

Upon careful thought, Xu Mu was taken to the mountain when he was eleven and he had never left Lonely Sword Peak in ten years. It was normal for him not to know about men and women.

This left Shang YaoYao nowhere to vent her anger.

“First, tell me where Sister went?”

“I don’t know! She was gone when I woke up!”

Xu Mu shook his head, not planning to tell Shang YaoYao that Luo Qingchen had sneakily taken two jars of Spiritual Wine up the mountain in the morning.

“Gone?”

Shang YaoYao was a bit puzzled, but didn’t ask further.

In the end, she was not that worried about Luo Qingchen, her main concern was Xu Mu.

“This is our Shang family’s new offer, if you have no objections, then leave your mana imprint!”

Shang YaoYao handed a beast skin contract to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu took the contract but did not immediately open it to check. Instead, he looked at Shang YaoYao and laughed, “Before discussing about this, shouldn’t you give me the Spirit Stones first?”

“Stingy!”

Shang YaoYao muttered and threw a storage bag at Xu Mu.

Xu Mu took it, refined it, and checked inside – there were only a few hundred Medium-grade Spirit Stones.

“Isn’t this a little less?” Xu Mu weighed the storage bag and asked.

“What do you mean ‘less’? There’s nothing less! Do you think I’m filthy rich? Actually, I’m not rich at all! After looking after you for so many years, my Spirit

Stones have all been spent!”

Xu Mu only asked once, and Shang YaoYao explained a bunch in a fluster. It was clear she was acting guilty.

Xu Mu didn’t quibble with her, just put away the storage bag, considering it her getting away with it.

As he opened the beast skin to check, a surge of mighty Golden Pill Divine

Intent swept over his body.

“Who?”

Xu Mu stopped in his tracks, looking around cautiously.

The sect had rules which forbade anyone from recklessly using their Divine

Intent.

Shang YaoYao also looked around cautiously.

Just then, a white ray of Escape Light shot out from the mountaintop, flying toward the two of them.

The mountaintop?

The two glanced at each other. They simultaneously realized what was happening.

“Master?”

“The Person on Gu Feng?”

At this moment, the Escape Light reached them and plop, it fell down.

As the light dispersed, it revealed a person planted head first into the ground.

The two stared at each other. This was the first time they’d seen such an entrance, especially from a Golden Core Stage master.

“*Burp!*”

After taking a huge gulp of wine and belching, he managed to stagger to his feet. That was when the two men could finally get a glance at him.

His hair was disheveled, his sleep-blurred eyes were hooded, grime covered his face in patches, and a disorderly beard hid most of his features. He was filthy, his once white robe now a dirty grey. It was hard to believe that this man, who looked like a beggar, was indeed a powerhouse in the Golden Core Stage.

He rubbed his eyes and swayed as he scrutinized the two men. He then turned his attention to Xu Mu.

“So you won first place in the competition?”

“Yes!”

Xu Mu honestly responded.

Even though he was not sure what the man wanted, there was no denying the man’s power. It was best not to anger him.

“Very good! Very good! Your Master is very pleased! Ha ha!”

The man laughed like a madman, his raucous laughter infused with Mana, causing Xu Mu’s eyebrows to twitch.

Being a Golden Core Stage cultivator, living at the top of the mountain, and referring to himself as a Master, there was no doubt that he was the Person on

Gu Feng.

The Person on Gu Feng laughed for a while then suddenly looked at Xu Mu, excitement in his eyes. Xu Mu had a vague premonition that something bad was about to happen.

“To celebrate your first place victory, we should have a celebration with some wine. However, your Master is a bit short of cash. So, you will have to lend me some for the time being. Rest assured! I’ll pay you back tenfold in the future!

After he finished speaking, the Person on Gu Feng took Xu Mu’s storage bag, thoroughly scavenged every valuable item from it, leaving Xu Mu motionless except for a slight twitching at the corner of his mouth.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to resist, but that he couldn’t.

Shang YaoYao could only watch helplessly as the Person on Gu Feng took everything.

Once he obtained the storage bag, the Person on Gu Feng had no qualms about going through it in front of them and listing out all the items.

“Not bad! Not bad! There should be enough here for at least ten jars of Thousand-Year Drunk!”

Assessing the loot, the Person on Gu Feng took out a piece of white paper and scribbled a few words with his spiritual power, then tossed it to Xu Mu. Next, he turned into a streak of light and flew off.

“That damn bastard!!!”

Shang YaoYao, released from the binding spell, cursed loudly and immediately set off in pursuit using a magic artifact.

Xu Mu didn’t start a pursuit because he knew he couldn’t catch up. Even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to reclaim his belongings. He, a Qi Cultivation Stage practitioner, was not a match for a Golden Core Stage practitioner.

Picking up the note on the ground with a stem expression, Xu Mu almost spat blood when he read the content.

“I, your master, owe you ten jars of Thousand-Year Drunk!

What kind of shitty IOU was this?!

Xu Mu, suppressing his anger, carefully put away the IOU, deciding to take the matter to the Enforcement Hall.

With what little strength he had, there was no chance of him reclaiming his things. His only hope was to seek help from the Sect.

Just as he was preparing to lodge a complaint, Luo Qingchen hurriedly flew over from the top of the mountain.

“Junior brother, wait up!”

Xu Mu stopped, his face stormy, without uttering a single word.

As he had anticipated, Luo Qingchen must have told the Person on Gu Feng about his victory, which led to him getting robbed. It was unreasonable to expect him to keep his cool under such circumstances.

Seeing Xu Mu’s face, Luo Qingchen also had an ominous feeling.

“Junior brother, did Master do something to you just now?” “Thanks to Sister Luo’s generous blessing, Master **borrowed** all the rewards bestowed upon me by the Sect and all of my savings!

Xu Mu emphasized the word ‘borrow.’

He hadn’t come across something this infuriating in years.

“What?!!”

Luo Qingchen gasped in shock.

Even though she had a hunch that the Person on Gu Feng might do such a thing, she never thought that he would actually go ahead and do it.

“If Sister Luo has no further business, I’ll be on my way!”

Even though seeking help from the Sect might not guarantee the return of his things, he at least had a sliver of hope. Moreover, once the Sect came to know about it, even if they couldn’t recover his things, they might offer him some form of compensation out of sympathy.

“Junior brother, wait!”

Luo Qingchen stopped Xu Mu once again.

“What else do you need, Sister Luo?”

Xu Mu’s tone was turning impatient. He would have already exploded if not for Luo Qingchen’s kindness to him over the years.

“Could you…could you possibly not ask Master for the things back?frёeωebɳovel.com
