Chapter 49 Howling Sky Blocks the Way
"My spiritual strength has improved quite a bit this time, so I was able to sense your arrival."
Qin Mu smiled and shrugged.
After taking the Star Anise Ice Grass, it is almost impossible for anyone of his age to have a higher level of spiritual strength than him.
Therefore, Hu Liena's little tricks naturally had no effect on Qin Mu.
"Yeah?"
Hu Liena seemed somewhat unconvinced, staring intently into Qin Mu's eyes.
The moment Qin Mu met her gaze, Hu Liena's eyes turned slightly purple, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Faced with Hu Liena's sudden use of charm, Qin Mu simply blinked and broke through her spell.
"How is this possible!"
Hu Liena stood up instantly, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
This is her most prized allure, which almost no one can resist.
Even Qin Mu in the past would have been momentarily distracted after making eye contact with Hu Liena; he could never have resolved the situation so easily as he has now!
Hu Liena seemed somewhat unwilling to believe it, and released her charm at Qin Mu again. After being countered once more, she sat back down in her seat with a mournful face.
"Sister Nana, you don't need to be too discouraged."
"I've learned a lot this time, which is why I've made such great progress."
"And if you completely let go, I definitely won't be able to resist your charm."
Hearing Qin Mu's words of comfort, Hu Liena's complexion gradually improved.
Damn it! How did he improve so fast!
If he keeps progressing like this, how will I be able to charm him when he grows up, and then...
No! I must work twice as hard when I get back!
Having made up her mind, Hu Liena ate the delicious food on the table in a huff.
"Sister Nana, don't be angry. Which elder accompanied you this time?"
"What elder? No one came with me, I came by myself!"
Although she was still sulking with Qin Mu, Hu Liena still answered Qin Mu's questions truthfully.
"Sister Nana, don't tease me. Sister Ling Yuan spotted you at the city gate yesterday."
Hu Liena looked puzzled, sensing something amiss in Qin Mu's words.
"What city gate? What are you talking about? I sneaked over here on my own!"
"I was indeed training nearby, but when I heard you were here, I immediately found an opportunity to come and find you."
"I entered the city under cover of darkness yesterday, afraid of being discovered."
As Hu Liena spoke, she pointed to the black robe beside her.
"Otherwise, why do you think I'm wearing such an ugly black robe? It's because I'm afraid of being discovered and taken back!"
Hu Liena pouted. She thought she had gained a lot this time and could show off to Qin Mu, but she ended up getting a big disappointment.
"But why are you being so high-profile? It's like you're afraid people won't know you're here."
Qin Mu and Ling Yuan exchanged a glance, and their expressions both turned serious.
"Sister Nana, you might think I'm too high-profile, but is it possible that I'm being high-profile just to attract attention?"
"This way, those who want to harm me will have some reservations."
"After all, my high profile means I'm not only paying attention to other forces, but also to the Spirit Hall members in various regions."
Qin Mu glanced out the window and saw a Soul Douluo expert from the Spirit Hall sitting in the teahouse opposite the restaurant they were in.
Ever since Qin Mu and his companion entered Silvis City, he had been following them nearby, and Ling Yuan had noticed him early on.
Qin Mu caused quite a stir at the Heaven Dou City auction house. At first, no one paid much attention, but when they investigated Qin Mu's identity, they were all terrified.
Who wants this little tyrant to get into trouble on their own turf!
However, right now, Qin Mu and the others need to be careful not to be among the Spirit Hall's own people, but rather to be wary of the two mysterious individuals Ling Yuan mentioned.
"The good news is that neither of them seems to have realized that Sister Ling Yuan noticed them first."
"This shows that their strength is not that great, at least not as strong as Sister Ling Yuan's in terms of spiritual power."
Hearing Qin Mu say this, Ling Yuan couldn't help but raise her chin slightly with a hint of pride.
Since reaching level 95, Ling Yuan's control over her spiritual power has improved even further.
If someone is Qin Mu's bodyguard and doesn't even have this much skill, then it would be really embarrassing.
"So here's the question: who were those two people who appeared yesterday? Were they friends or foes? Or were they just passing by?"
Qin Mu immediately ruled out the last possibility.
"How about we keep a low profile for a while?" Ling Yuan suggested hesitantly.
It wasn't that she was afraid of trouble, but Qin Mu's strength was still too low compared to theirs.
Despite his exceptional talent, he was ultimately just a three-ring Soul Elder.
They were no match for these Title Douluos.
"Don't treat others like fools. No matter how discreet you are, others will always notice something is amiss."
"In that case, it will actually give others a chance."
Qin Mu shook his head. "Let's eat first. Things will work themselves out!"
After a hearty meal, Qin Mu refused Ling Yuan's suggestion to leave that evening, insisting on taking advantage of the midday heat and traveling along the main road.
The Soul Douluo from the Spirit Hall, who had been watching Qin Mu and his companions' carriage leave the city, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, what no one noticed was that a figure was standing on the city wall of Silvis, staring intently at Qin Mu and his companions.
Only after Qin Mu and the other two's carriage disappeared from sight did the figure leap down from the city wall.
"Little Qin Mu, are we still going to Hanhai City? I have a feeling something's off..."
Ling Yuan sat in the carriage, almost pressed against Qin Mu, but she still felt a little uneasy.
"Sister Ling Yuan, have you noticed the presence of other people around us?"
"No."
Upon hearing Ling Yuan's reply, Qin Mu sighed softly, his expression slightly grave.
The biggest problem is that we didn't even notice it!
After traveling for about three hours, Qin Mu and the others still did not encounter any unexpected situations.
As the outline of the next city came into view, even Ling Yuan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Could it be that she's overthinking things?
Just when everyone thought they could enter the city smoothly, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Sigh, it really happened!"
Qin Mu's helpless voice rang out, and Ling Yuan immediately rushed out of the carriage, her eyes immediately meeting those of a black-robed figure standing in the middle of the road.
As night fell, there was no one else on the road except for the man in the black robe.
"Your aura is familiar. Are you someone I know?"
Ling Yuan slowly stepped forward, looking at the other person with unfriendly eyes.
Upon hearing this, the man in black robes didn't try to hide anything and simply took off his robe.
He was a burly, middle-aged man with broad shoulders and a thick waist.

Upon seeing who it was, Ling Yuan and Qin Mu's expressions immediately turned rather unpleasant.
Because they both recognized that person; it was none other than Tang Xiao, the current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect and the Howling Sky Douluo!
