Chapter 1440 1301 The Whereabouts of the World Tree

Chapter 1440: Chapter 1301: The Whereabouts of the World Tree Seed Chapter 1440: Chapter 1301: The Whereabouts of the World Tree Seed Pang Yue now had a considerable level of skill, healing the Four-winged Pegasus quite fast as she first removed the toxins from the Poison Fang Beast, then treated each of the Pegasus’s wounds one by one.

The Four-winged Pegasus recovered notably, and by Pang Yue’s estimation, it would be back to normal by early morning.

Seeing the Four-winged Pegasus peacefully asleep, Xiaoxiao finally heaved a long sigh of relief.

“You’re tired as well, come rest in my room,” Chu Mu said to the weary-faced Xiaoxiao.

A hint of strangeness flashed in Xiaoxiao’s eyes, and Chu Mu explained with a bitter smile, “I’m going to meditate, I usually don’t sleep at night…”

Xiaoxiao didn’t fuss and went to rest in Chu Mu’s original room.

After Xiaoxiao had left, Pang Yue immediately donned a meaningful smile, her beautiful big eyes brimming with a host of questions she, frustratingly, would not voice.

“…” Seeing Pang Yue’s expression, Chu Mu knew she was thinking wildly, and he explained, “Don’t overthink.”

“You bring back a woman who looks a bit like Qingzi, how can I not overthink?” Pang Yue smirked like a little devil.

“Alright, keep overthinking then,” Chu Mu said, then sat down next to the already asleep Four-winged Pegasus, closed his eyes, and began practicing Soul Sense meditation.

Pang Yue sulkily pouted, having wanted to tease Chu Mu a bit, but seeing him so upright and unbothered made it no fun at all.

Pang Yue gathered all the shiny objects in the room into her Space Ring, then climbed onto her bed to sleep.

Unlike Chu Mu, who still maintained the discipline to practice every night even after half a year of experience when returning to the city, she only wanted to have a good sleep now.

…

In the early morning, Chao Lengchuan was woken up by the sound of quarreling from the next room. Free from sleepiness, he got up, washed, and when he stepped out, he just saw a woman with slightly untidy clothes storming out of Ye Wansheng’s room.

Not long after, Ye Wansheng came out as well, glanced at the woman who strutted off, didn’t bother to follow her, but instead made idle chit-chat with Morning Crown Prince.

Chao Lengchuan, used to such sights, casually said, “Let’s gather all the Xuan Objects today, Chu Mu should have already exchanged those things for Xuan.”

“Yeah,” Ye Wansheng nodded and said, “Though, I wonder why Chu Mu got up later than us today.”

“Heh, maybe it’s like your situation,” Chao Lengchuan joked.

The two went to Chu Mu’s room and knocked on the door.

“Why isn’t there any response?” Ye Wansheng said.

Chao Lengchuan knocked harder, and after a while, the door finally opened.

“Chu Mu, I’ve already found a Xuan Master for us…” Chao Lengchuan had started saying reflexively when he saw the door open, but he swallowed his words midway when he realized the one opening the door was a beautiful woman with somewhat disheveled hair looking languid.

Beside him, Ye Wansheng’s eyes widened, and he exchanged a strange glance with Chao Lengchuan!

If it had been another man, seeing a woman opening the door would have been nothing unusual for seasoned men like Ye Wansheng and Chao Lengchuan, but it was Chu Mu, who was normally not interested in such matters…

Ah, men.

“Who are you?” Xiaoxiao, looking puzzled and still not quite awake, gazed at the two unfamiliar men.

“We’re Chu Mu’s friends,” Chao Lengchuan said.

Just as he was explaining, the door to Pang Yue’s room opened, and Chu Mu, along with Pang Yue, came out together.

“I’m here; she is just a friend I met last night…” Chu Mu explained as he came out.

However, Chu Mu coming out from Pang Yue’s room only made Chao Lengchuan and Ye Wansheng widen their eyes even more.

Because the relationship dynamics here were too messy, even for Ye Wansheng’s usually roguish mind to comprehend!

“Both of you, stop overthinking!” Pang Yue said, her cheeks flushing red.

…

After breakfast, Chu Mu finally managed to clear up the nonsensical misunderstanding.

By noon, the Four-winged Pegasus had completely recovered. To thank Chu Mu and the others, it specifically took Chu Mu to a Xuan Master she knew to refine Xuan Objects for them.

In the east district of Luan City, there were lavish courtyards where these famous Xuan Masters resided.

Xuan Masters hold a very high status and naturally, they are not like some shops that sit on the streets waiting for guests to come by. Often, to find a Xuan Master to refine Xuan Objects, one must first make an appointment well in advance, then personally visit with all the materials and gifts prepared. After handing over these items, one must wait a long time until the Xuan Master invites them to collect the objects and must show up respectfully again to retrieve them.

The residences of Xuan Masters could be described as bustling like markets, regardless of whether people seek favors from the masters or not; visitors would always arrive to maintain good relations, although the masters themselves might not meet these people often since they spend most of their time studying Xuan Techniques.

Xiaoxiao led Chu Mu and the others to one of the more elegant residences of the Xuan Masters. Compared to other masters’ residences, this place was much quieter, and the people coming and going seemed noticeably cautious for some reason.

“My elder here has a bit of a quirky temper. Those people are all well-known figures from Luan City. The one who just passed us is the clan leader with the largest territory in Luan City; he can strut around anywhere in Luan City, but here, he has to be just as cautious as anyone else,” Xiaoxiao explained, pointing to a middle-aged man who had just walked past Chu Mu and the others.

Chu Mu looked back at the middle-aged man and could feel that his Soul Sense was much stronger than his own.

It appeared that the Xuan Master Xiaoxiao was introducing him to must be quite exceptional indeed.

Upon entering the main hall, a group of stewards and servants immediately came forward to receive them. Recognizing Xiaoxiao, the steward led them directly toward the elegant courtyard of the Xuan Master.

The master’s own courtyard was separate from those used to receive guests and family, as each Xuan Master could hardly tolerate any disturbances.

“Is Uncle Sun busy?” Xiaoxiao asked a Medicine Child before entering.

Had it been someone else, the Medicine Child would definitely have said that the master was refining Xuan Objects for the lords. But since it was Xiaoxiao, a familiar face, the Medicine Child honestly replied, “Master is drinking in the small forest.”

With that, the Medicine Child led Xiaoxiao and Chu Mu’s party through to the small forest behind the courtyard.

Walking into the forest, there was a stone table and a few wicker chairs, simple yet elegant.

A young-looking man, whose actual age was hard to determine, was reclining on one of the wicker chairs.

Next to the man was a graceful female attendant, bending over to pour wine into his empty glass. She seemed to hear something funny and giggled charmingly.

“How interesting this Master Sun Xuan is. There’s a whole bunch of high-status people waiting to see him in the main hall, and here he is, drinking and flirting with a maid,” Leng Chuan muttered softly.

“Master, Miss Xiaoxiao is here,” announced the Medicine Child.

Master Sun Xuan turned his head, glanced over Xiaoxiao, and smiled, “Xiaoxiao’s here! What brings you to see your uncle so suddenly?”

“I’ve brought a few friends who would like Uncle Sun’s help in refining some Xuan Objects,” Xiaoxiao stated directly.

“Oh, Xiaoxiao’s friends are my friends too. Please, have a seat. Tell me what you need refined and any special requirements while we drink,” Master Sun Xuan said in a friendly manner.

Xiaoxiao was not so impressed; he knew this fellow’s main interests were Xuan Techniques and beautiful women. Surely, with a woman like Pang Yue present, this fellow would not want to expose his rude temperament towards strangers.

Among the four’s Soul Pets, many had already reached a training rate of over seventy percent.

Many would train their Soul Pets to a hundred percent before daring to strengthen them, but Chu Mu and his companions were not poor. If it failed, they would just find another Xuan Object. If it succeeded, they could rapidly boost the strength of their Soul Pets.

After informing Master Sun Xuan of the needed Xuan Objects, Master Sun Xuan quite forthrightly accepted the 140,000 Xuan from Chu Mu.

“Ying Zi, hand these Xuan to Tang Dong and let him refine them as these friends just requested,” Master Sun Xuan instructed the attendant Medicine Child at his side.

“Okay,” nodded the Medicine Child respectfully, and then turned to leave.

“Uncle Sun, these friends saved my life, you must personally help them refine!” Xiaoxiao puffed up her cheeks, somewhat displeased.

Master Sun Xuan’s Xuan Technique was much superior to Master Tang’s, and he could definitely produce perfect quality Xuan Objects with the same materials. If Master Sun Xuan were truly busy, Xiaoxiao would have let it be. Still, knowing he was at leisure drinking, why couldn’t he simply help them refine it? Plus, 140,000 Xuan was quite a substantial sum, even Xiaoxiao herself hadn’t expected Chu Mu’s group to be so wealthy!

“Xiaoxiao, you don’t understand. There are many steps in refining Xuan Objects. If I were to personally undertake all the basic processes myself, it would truly tire me to death. Don’t worry, this 140,000 Xuan transaction isn’t something I’d dare entrust to that foolish lad, Tang Dong. If the refining fails, it would tarnish my reputation. I will personally handle the crucial and refining furnace steps,” explained Master Sun Xuan.

“That’s more like it!” Xiaoxiao’s expression softened a bit.

“Eh? What did you just say? These people saved your life, what happened? Did someone try to harm you?!” Master Sun Xuan suddenly realized, and immediately his face turned furious.

“It’s that big case. I finally found a clue and was following them, but those two villains discovered me and set a trap. I was alone against five of them. Thankfully, Young Master Chu appeared just in time to save me, otherwise the next time you saw me, Uncle Sun, I’d be a pile of ashes,” Xiaoxiao recounted, still somewhat shaken by the events of last night.

“That’s ridiculous!” Master Sun Xuan immediately frowned.

His rebuke startled Xiaoxiao, causing her to step back.

It took a while for Master Sun Xuan to calm his emotions after seeing Xiaoxiao’s frightened look.

“You should not get involved in this matter,” Master Sun Xuan said very seriously.

“But why? Shouldn’t those people be punished accordingly?” Xiaoxiao defiantly asked.

“Punishment? You’re not a child, so stop using such ridiculous words. Even the Divine Sect has only issued a symbolic rebuke. You people from the Monster Beast Palace shouldn’t pretend to be morally upright. I’d stake my reputation that those appointing you to investigate this case aren’t seeking to punish those criminals but to locate the whereabouts of the World Tree Seed.”
