Chapter 509: Chapter 381: The Opportunity to Regain the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit
Chu Mu was mindful not to keep others waiting and spoke up to say that he had finished strengthening his soul pet.
Jia Jing opened the door, and Ting Lan, along with another androgynous-dressed woman, entered the room.
A gentle smile appeared on Ting Lan’s face as she spoke with concern to Chu Mu, “Young Master Chu, you should rest more. Rus.h.i.+ng to cultivate like this can easily harm your body.”
Chu Mu nodded and then asked about the Wind-binding Spirits, “How are those two Wind-binding Spirits doing?”
The short-haired woman beside them glanced at Chu Mu and muttered, “How can this guy not get the mood? Ting Lan is just having a warm chat with you. Why did he bring up the soul pet matter without even a single word of conversation… ”
“The Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit was taken by the Holy Guard. When the Wind-binding Sanctuary reopens, they will release the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit. So…” Ting Lan said softly.
As expected, Chu Mu gave a bitter smile.
Chu Mu had been thinking before that the strict rules of the Soul Hall might rigidly consider the soul pet in the Soul Capture Ring as a captured soul pet, thus requiring the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit brought back by the Night Thunder Dream Beast to be released…
“Is there no room for negotiation?” Chu Mu asked. After all, he had gone through a life-and-death situation to obtain the soul pet, so he couldn’t just let it be released.
Ting Lan shook her head and explained, “We must abide by the rules…”
“Oh, I thought he was a witty handsome guy, but he’s actually so boring. You guys can chat slowly.” The androgynous-dressed woman looked uninterested and left without even saying goodbye, heading straight for the door.
As this woman left, she did not forget to take Chu Mu’s attendant Jia Jing out with her, making a very “thoughtful” move.
“That’s just how Sai Ren is, breaking norms without malicious intentions. Young Master Chu, don’t mind her.” Ting Lan apologized with a smile.
Chu Mu didn’t care about that woman; what he cared about was the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit that was about to be released. The Soul Capture Ring contained an Eighth Rank, advanced stage Wind-binding Spirit. The chance of signing a soul pact with it was remarkably low. On the other hand, the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit, which was worth several hundred million, was to be released, which made Chu Mu’s heart ache!
Ting Lan saw that Chu Mu’s expression was downcast, and she didn’t know what to say to him.
After a moment of silence, Ting Lan hesitated for a while before saying, “Thank you, Young Master Chu. If it weren’t for you risking your life to save me, Ting Lan wouldn’t have been able to survive and return here. Moreover, even after being injured, you didn’t forget to help me put the Wind-binding Spirit into the Soul Pet s.p.a.ce, although there were some deviations, I am still very grateful. Ting Lan originally intended to give the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit as a small thanking present to Young Master Chu if it didn’t have to be released. It’s a pity that the Soul Hall rules cannot be changed, and the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit can only be released… But regardless, Ting Lan will always remember the life-saving grace of Young Master Chu. In a few days, Ting Lan will also give a small gift, hoping Young Master Chu can accept it. After all, causing you to get injured together with me, if you don’t accept it, Ting Lan’s heart will be uneasy.”
It seemed that Ting Lan had brewed these words for a long time before saying them. After listening to them, Chu Mu didn’t know how to respond because the beautiful and gentle woman in front of him seemed to have a little misunderstanding about him…
“Well, then Ting Lan won’t disturb Young Master Chu’s rest.” Ting Lan felt that Chu Mu was a bit tired and knew that she should not stay too long, so she slowly got up, bowed, and left Chu Mu’s room, closing the door behind her.
After Ting Lan left, Chu Mu scratched his head awkwardly and muttered to himself, “If I wasn’t allowed to claim the soul pet as my own as a companion, I wouldn’t have taken the risk to catch the Wind-binding Spirit.”
Chu Mu and Li Hen entered the Wind-binding Sanctuary as companions, and only Ting Lan had the opportunity to capture a soul pet. No matter whose hand the ring was in, the soul pet in the ring belonged to Ting Lan.
Chu Mu didn’t understand this issue, but Ting Lan thought that Chu Mu knew it when he entered the Wind-binding Sanctuary.
So when Ting Lan heard from the old Spirit Master that Chu Mu not only saved her but also risked capturing two Wind-binding Spirits, her first reaction was: this man is selflessly helping me.
Even when he was covered in wounds, he still tried to help her capture the Wind-binding Spirit. After hearing this, Ting Lan was even more touched by Chu Mu’s spirit, so she visited him several times today to express her grat.i.tude…
If Ting Lan knew that Chu Mu’s original intention was not what she thought, she didn’t know what to think…
Not long after Ting Lan left, Chu Mu was planning to go to the Hunting a.s.sociation to hand in his other reward. As soon as he stepped out, he saw a middle-aged man with a grand aura approaching – it was the Palace Master of the Seven Great Halls!
“Young Master Chu really doesn’t know how to stay out of trouble.” Palace Master Yu looked at Chu Mu walking out, a simple smile appearing on his serious face.
Palace Master Yu had only met Chu Mu a few times; once when Chu Mu was being chased by Duan Xinhe, once when Chu Mu returned seriously injured from the Ancient Wasteland, and now Chu Mu had returned seriously injured from the Wind-binding Sanctuary…
Palace Master Yu didn’t know what to say about this young man who couldn’t be understood in a normal way. Fortunately, Honorable Lady Liu Binglan was not in the Soul Hall; if Chu Mu’s son kept returning seriously injured every three days, Liu Binglan, as a mother, would have a broken heart…
Chu Mu also understood the meaning behind Palace Master Yu’s words and laughed carelessly. Having already grown numb to the edge of death, serious injuries had become a common occurrence for Chu Mu.
“Young Master Chu is also a man of pa.s.sion, taking risks to save Miss Ting Lan and capture the Wind-binding Spirit, and even brought back two Wind-binding Spirits…” Palace Master Yu didn’t ask about Chu Mu’s injuries but simply smiled and spoke.
Chu Mu was embarra.s.sed; how could everyone put such a glorious hat on him? He only decided to save Ting Lan after he was sure he could handle the situation…
“Capturing the Wind-binding Spirit was actually my own idea. I lack a Wind Soul Pet in my lineup, and when I saw the fighting power of the Wind-binding Spirit, I thought it was suitable. At that time, I didn’t realize that accompanying members were not allowed to have Soul Pets.” Facing Palace Master Yu, Chu Mu didn’t conceal his intentions.
Palace Master Yu was stunned for a moment and then burst into refres.h.i.+ng laughter. Palace Master Yu’s laughter was not just because of the misunderstanding, but also because Chu Mu had actually said it straightforwardly. Suddenly, he felt that Young Master Chu was unique; if it were someone else in this situation, they would definitely continue to make the most of this heroic act that could win Ting Lan’s heart.
“Anyway, Young Master Chu did save Ting Lan’s life. Ting Lan is considered a princess-level lady in our Soul Hall, and she may be of some help to you in the future. Besides, there’s actually no need for Young Master Chu to feel sorry for letting the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit go free. As long as Ting Lan is willing to give up the Wind-binding Spirit, Young Master Chu can still obtain it.” Palace Master Yu said.
“Soul Hall’s rules are strict, with no room for compromise. The Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit still has to be released, so how can I obtain it?” Chu Mu asked.
“In fact, our Soul Hall is not that rigid. This kind of situation has happened before, and the Holy Guards know that the Juvenile Soul Pets are hard-earned by Soul Pet Masters. Simply letting them go free seems too cruel and ruthless. So, usually, when this happens, the Holy Guard Leader will have someone release the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit to the place where it was originally captured. Young Master Chu now has a Seventh Level ident.i.ty, which gives you one chance to enter the Wind-binding Temple to capture. If you enter there and find the original place, your chances of regaining the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit are quite high.” Palace Master Yu explained.
Chu Mu’s eyes brightened, so there were hidden rules like this in the Soul Hall. If Palace Master Yu hadn’t mentioned it, Chu Mu would have never thought of it. It turns out that Chu Mu actually still has a chance to obtain the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit.
“Thank you for telling me, Palace Master Yu.” Chu Mu said with a salute.
“No need to thank me. Even if I didn’t tell you, those old fellows would secretly inform the concerned member. Now, I also have one more thing to discuss with Young Master Chu.” Palace Master Yu finally got to the main topic.
“Oh?” Chu Mu raised an eyebrow. He didn’t think he had reached the level where he could discuss matters with Palace Master Yu.
“My son Yu Lang’s matter, Young Master Chu, is already well understood. Yu He is just a p.a.w.n, with someone else manipulating him behind the scenes…” Palace Master Yu went on to tell Chu Mu about someone deliberately instigating some young generation members with more powerful methods to stir up trouble.
Chu Mu wasn’t very concerned about the disputes between forces and wasn’t interested in getting entangled in them. However, one of the things Palace Master Yu mentioned caught Chu Mu’s attention, which was the person behind the Fox Spirit Item trap…
Shen Yicheng was a young expert of the Business a.s.sociation, and the appearance of the Fox Spirit Item trap directly indicated that this young man had colluded with Xia Guanghan.
Xia Guanghan was a major hidden danger for Chu Mu. While Xia Guanghan hadn’t yet publicly revealed the secret of Mo Ye, Chu Mu must deal with him first and not sit idly by waiting for death.
“I haven’t been with Young Master Chu for long, but I can see that he is a resourceful, courageous, and composed person. Having chosen him, I believe that only Young Master Chu is up to the task. I always feel that this matter is not a small one and will have a great impact on the entire Soul Hall if left unchecked. It must be strangled early. However, we can hardly intervene in the matters concerning the younger generation. Therefore, I hope Young Master Chu can give me a helping hand.” Palace Master Yu said.
“Who is Shen Yicheng?” Chu Mu inquired.
“He’s a second-tier expert from the Business a.s.sociation. He appears to be upright but is actually cunning and treacherous, having connections with many ambitious people from various forces. Young Master Chu doesn’t have to confront him head-on for now, just limit him when the time is right.” Palace Master Yu replied.
“Young Master Chu also wants to increase his t.i.tle level as soon as possible, right? You know how strict the Soul Hall system is, so I can’t promote your t.i.tle without any reason. If Young Master Chu helps me this time, I will be able to nominate you to the Elders, confirming your contribution to the Soul Hall, thus making it easier for you to reach Level 8 t.i.tle.” Palace Master Yu said.
With Palace Master Yu as a backer, Chu Mu could boldly investigate Xia Guanghan’s weaknesses. Chu Mu had already planned to take on the task, and Palace Master Yu said that he could also help Chu Mu increase his t.i.tle level, which made Chu Mu more tempted.
To enter Di Sheng Domain, Chu Mu needed to reach the Ninth Level t.i.tle. Achieving that was one of Chu Mu’s goals, so there was no reason for Chu Mu to refuse this win-win situation.
