Chapter 144 The Unusual Changes in the Angel's Decree, First Encounter with Qian Renxue!
After bidding farewell to the Snow Maiden, Qin Mu and his companions immediately set off towards the far north.
"What's wrong, Qin Mu? What happened?"
Qin Mu's sudden change left Ling Yuan and Yue Guan quite puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu immediately raised his head and then took out a token from his storage ring. It was none other than the Angel Token that Qian Daoliu had given to Qin Mu earlier.
However, at this moment, the angel's token was faintly shimmering with light.
"I don't know when, but this angel token started to be like this."
"Moreover, I have a vague feeling that it is guiding me to some place outside."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan and Yue Guan's expressions gradually became serious.
No wonder Qin Mu was in such a hurry; after all, the flashing of the Angel's Token likely meant that the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall were nearby.
Qin Mu and his two companions were naturally not afraid, but if they found the Snow Maiden and other soul beasts, things would be a bit hard to say.
As for why the angel's token was flashing, Ling Yuan and Yue Guan didn't know either.
After all, this was their first time making contact, even in their current capacity.
Unable to obtain any useful information, Qin Mu had no choice but to follow the guidance of the angel's decree and head towards the far north.
The closer one gets to the edge of the far north, the stronger the light emitted by the angel's command becomes.
Finally, following the guidance of the angel's decree, Qin Mu and his two companions arrived at Northern City.
"Isn't this Northern City? How come there are high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall here?"
With this question in mind, the three of them gradually entered the northern city.
To think that one could find someone in Northern City whose name and appearance were unknown would be a joke.
However, Qin Mu was not entirely without clues; after all, he recognized the most prestigious family in Northern City—the Shui family.
By learning through the Shui family who has recently entered Northern City, we can naturally narrow down the search area.
The three of them had lived in Northern City for a period of time, so they were not unfamiliar with it.
Arriving at the Shui family mansion in the center of Northern City with ease, they found the mansion's gates wide open, with a group of servants dressed in the attire of nobles from the Heaven Dou Empire waiting outside.
Seeing this, Qin Mu was about to lead his men into the Shui family without thinking, but they were stopped by the people from the Heaven Dou Empire on the way.
"Excuse me! There are important people discussing confidential matters inside the room. Please wait outside."
Because it was a special operation, Qin Mu and his two companions did not wear the uniforms of the Spirit Hall.
In the servant's eyes, Qin Mu was most likely a junior from a family in a nearby city, so he didn't speak to him with much politeness.
However, Qin Mu didn't care about the servant's attitude; he was just a bit impulsive in his speech, but it wasn't a capital offense.
He wasn't like some people who would casually tell anyone they met that they were courting death.
Sensing the intense reaction from the Angel's Decree, Qin Mu frowned and, after much deliberation, decided to force his way in.
After all, he knew very well that the Shui family members were definitely Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe.
As for why Qian Renxue came here, he didn't know.
He gave Ling Yuan a wink, and Ling Yuan immediately understood. She reached out and took out the Spirit Hall elder's token, intending to force her way through.
Upon seeing the Elder Order of the Spirit Hall, whether he didn't recognize him or was simply stubborn, the servant still chose to stand in front of Qin Mu.
This time, Qin Mu didn't hold back.
He reached out, grabbed the servant's arm, and with a gentle twist, dislocated the servant's arm.
Then, with a slight push, he pushed him aside.
The others wanted to step forward, but they were all frightened by the soul power released by Yue Guan and dared not stop them anymore.
Qin Mu strode into the Shui family home and headed straight for the reception room, with Ling Yuan and Yue Guan following closely behind.
From afar, Qin Mu could see many figures in someone's living room.
The footsteps coming from outside naturally attracted the attention of the people in the reception room. Before long, Qin Mu walked in with Ling Yuan and Yue Guan.
Inside the Shui family's reception room, the main seat was empty, while to the right were Shui Yu'er and Shui Bing'er, whom Qin Mu knew well, along with some other elders of the Shui family.
On the left, a refined young man sat at the head of the table. The others sitting below him, though their names were unknown, were clearly no ordinary people, judging from their aura.
Shui Yu'er and Shui Bing'er were both surprised to see Qin Mu barge in.
They weren't surprised by Qin Mu's sudden and rude intrusion, but rather by why Qin Mu would come to their Shui family at this time.
"Qin Mu, what brings you here?"
Shui Yu'er didn't even invite Qin Mu to sit down; instead, she looked at the young man beside her, somewhat at a loss.
"I was passing by the Shui family's house when I saw a group of unfamiliar people outside. I thought you had gotten into trouble, so I came in to take a look."
Qin Mu responded to Shui Yu'er, while also scrutinizing the young man.
Before Shui Yu'er could say anything more, the young man beside her suddenly stood up and smiled and nodded at Qin Mu.
"This must be Qin Mu, the captain of the champion team in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, right?"
"I had the privilege of witnessing your brilliance during the competition; you truly are a young hero!"
The young man's manners were impeccable, leaving no room for criticism.
Shui Yu'er was about to introduce the young man to Qin Mu when Qin Mu's gaze had already fallen upon him, and he spoke first.
"This must be His Highness Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire! Meeting him today, he certainly has an extraordinary bearing!"
Although he had never seen Xue Qinghe transformed by Qian Renxue, the aura emanating from her and the extremely strong reaction emanating from the Angel Token were enough to show that the person in front of him was indeed Qian Renxue!
Seeing that she hadn't said a word, Shui Yu'er felt a little awkward as the two of them started exchanging compliments.
After all, the positions of the two sides seem somewhat irreconcilable in the current situation.
In Shui Yu'er's eyes, Qian Renxue's disguise as Xue Qinghe was flawless, and it was a foregone conclusion that she would become the future emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.
On the other side, Qin Mu was equally promising and was a leading figure among the younger generation of the Spirit Hall.
Although she didn't know much about the Spirit Hall, Shui Yu'er believed that with Qin Mu's abilities, he would definitely become the future Pope of the Spirit Hall!
"Gentlemen, please sit down and talk."
Shui Yu'er forced a smile and led her people away from their seats, letting Qin Mu sit in the first seat on her right.
She then reluctantly sat down in the main seat of the hall.
Both parties are of very high status and are people she cannot afford to offend.
However, the Shui family was caught in the middle, which put them in a difficult position.
One must treat everyone equally. Neither group should be of lower status, so it is reasonable for her, as the host, to sit in the main seat.
"What brings Prince Xue Qinghe to the Shui family? Would it be convenient for me to be present?"
As soon as he sat down, Qin Mu smiled and asked Qian Renxue a question.
