Chapter 61 Hints That Qin Mu Intends to Become Independent?
Gently patting Hu Liena's back, Qin Mu teased her after Hu Liena calmed down a little.
"Okay, Nana, why are you crying?"
"Who's crying!"
Hu Liena released Qin Mu and, somewhat annoyed, smacked his shoulder.
"Do you know how worried we are because you never listen to us?"
"This time, your opponent is a Title Douluo! One wrong move and your life is over!"
Qin Mu did not refute her. He could hear the concern in Hu Liena's words, so he simply let her criticize him.
"Nana, we can't entirely blame Qin Mu for this. After all, it was those rats from the Clear Sky Sect who launched the sneak attack; no one could have predicted that..."
Ling Yuan defended Qin Mu, but was met with a sarcastic remark from Gui Mei.
"Come on, Ling Yuan, you didn't do a very good job on this mission!"
"If I hadn't intervened in time, you would probably be dead at Tang Xiao's hands."
"Luckily, Qin Mu is alright this time, otherwise you would definitely be in big trouble!"
At this moment, Yue Guan noticed the Snow Maiden following behind Qin Mu.
"Qin Mu, and who is this?"
"Grandpa Yue, this is my friend!"
Seeing that Yue Guan had noticed Xue Nu, Qin Mu quickly pulled Xue Nu out and introduced her to the three of them. However, Yue Guan and Gui Mei both frowned at the same time.
"A friend? Your friend's strength is quite extraordinary. I wonder what her title is? Perhaps I've heard of it."
You don't need to know!
The Snow Maiden felt extremely uncomfortable with Yue Guan's questioning tone and effeminate voice, and naturally didn't give Yue Guan any face.
Seeing that Xue Nu was so disrespectful, Yue Guan was taken aback at first, then looked at Xue Nu with a gloomy expression.
Since he joined the Spirit Hall, how many years has it been since anyone dared to speak to him like that?
Seeing Yue Guan's gloomy face, Qin Mu immediately stepped between the two before Yue Guan could lose his temper.
"Grandpa Yue, she is indeed my friend, and she's the one who saved me and Sister Ling Yuan in the far north!"
Qin Mu deliberately emphasized the word "save" so that Yue Guan would have no further opportunity to find fault.
"Hmph. Speaking of which, Ling Yuan, you've made quite a bit of progress lately!"
Seeing that Xue Nu was not giving him a friendly look, Yue Guan naturally did not want to talk to her anymore and turned his gaze to Ling Yuan beside him.
Yue Guan was quite surprised when he saw it.
After not seeing her for a while, Ling Yuan's strength had actually become equal to his!
This is something he simply cannot accept.
When Yue Guan asked about her strength, Ling Yuan couldn't help but panic a little, and then answered somewhat haltingly.
"Yes, uh, I... Qin Mu helped me!"
Ling Yuan wasn't very good at lying, so she simply passed the question directly to Qin Mu.
Anyway, he was the one who ruined her in the first place, so now it's time for him to make amends.
"Yes, this time, Sister Ling Yuan went deep into the far north to save me, and was seriously injured."
"At that time, I happened to find a fire-attribute medicinal herb that grew in the far north, which is how I cured Sister Ling Yuan."
"That's why Sister Ling Yuan was able to break through."
Qin Mu's vague words made it difficult for Yue Guan to find any major problems.
After all, what Qin Mu said made perfect sense.
As for medicinal herbs, there are indeed some medicinal herbs that grow in extremely cold places.
These medicinal herbs are all extremely precious, and it's not impossible that they could help Ling Yuan, who has already reached a bottleneck, break through.
But this is on the premise that what Qin Mu said is true.
Yue Guan frowned slightly, because all of this was indeed too much of a coincidence.
"Are you done talking, Qin Mu? Shouldn't we get down to business?"
The Snow Woman couldn't help but speak up to remind him.
Seeing this, Qin Mu immediately seized the opportunity and headed towards the northern city.
Before leaving, Qin Mu said something to Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Grandpa Yue, Grandpa Gui, and Sister Ling Yuan have always protected me. It's not too much for me to help her increase her strength, is it?"
"There are many more medicinal herbs like these in the far north."
"If given the opportunity, I would also be willing to help my two grandfathers increase their strength!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Qin Mu's pointed words, coupled with his meaningful look at the end, made both of their hearts skip a beat.
Qin Mu's words clearly implied that there were other herbs in the far north that could increase one's strength.
It might even be Qin Mu!
"Old Ghost, what do you think of this matter?"
After seeing Qin Mu and the other two walk away, Yue Guan asked Gui Mei for his opinion.
"It seems we failed to subdue the Clear Sky Sect nine years ago. This time, we must report to the Pope, find the Clear Sky Sect's location, and deliver a severe blow to them!"
The sharpness in Gui Mei's eyes remained undiminished, after all, he had also suffered considerable injuries while rescuing Ling Yuan.
"Yes, the Clear Sky Sect should be dealt with. But what I'd like to ask is, what do you think of that beautiful woman?"
Yue Guan crossed his arms and looked in the direction Qin Mu had left.
"That woman doesn't seem as simple as she appears. The aura she unintentionally released just now is something even I wouldn't dare to underestimate."
"I even have a feeling that if I were to face her, I would almost certainly die!"
Ghost pondered for a moment, then asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Could it be that Qin Mu meant for us to help him cover up this woman's affair?"
"It's hard to say." Yue Guan shook his head. "In any case, let's report the matter of Clear Sky Sect first."
"As for that woman..."
Yue Guan pondered for a moment, his eyes filled with struggle.
"Alright, let's not report that woman's matter for now."
As a partner of decades, how could Gui Mei not know Yue Guan's hobbies?
Upon seeing Yue Guan's appearance, Gui Mei immediately guessed that Yue Guan also wanted Qin Mu to give him a herb.
If it were just some slightly rare medicinal herbs that could enhance one's strength, that would be fine.
If it were the kind of Immortal Herb that Yue Guan hoped to see in his entire life, then he would have no regrets even if he died.
Yue Guan didn't speak, but only glanced at Gui Mei.
The two looked at each other in silence, yet their silence spoke volumes.
"Little Qin Mu, what if Yue Guan and Old Ghost sell us out?"
Even after being away for a long time, Ling Yuan still asked Qin Mu with some concern.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu shook his head.
"I don't know, but there's a high chance it won't happen."
"I made my final statement very clear: if they are willing to cooperate, it will naturally save them a lot of trouble, and I will also give them corresponding benefits in the future."
"If they are determined to side with the Pope, then there's nothing I can do."
Ling Yuan simply couldn't understand Qin Mu's words.
As Bibi Dong's disciple, Qin Mu should unconditionally stand on Bibi Dong's side.
But ever since Qin Mu went out to train, whether it was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes or his interactions with Yue Guan.
All signs indicate that Qin Mu does not share the same stance as Bibi Dong.
His actions all seemed to be for his own benefit, rather than on the side of the Pope or the Spirit Hall.
Whether it's due to being influenced by one's surroundings or Ling Yuan truly becoming enlightened, it's hard to say.
For the first time ever, Ling Yuan pondered for a long time and finally came to a terrifying conclusion.
Qin Mu may have to become independent!
