Lin Qing considered for a while, they definitely could not retreat, she brought Wu Tian along with her and traced Wu Zemin.
He watched them curiously as they made their way into his office; it was rare for Lin Qing to take the initiative to seek him out at work. Seeing the solemn expression on her face he asked gravely "is there something wrong?"
Lin Qing nodded and explained, "Tianer said he felt a dangerous enemy approaching us. It could be cultivators."
Wu Zemin was startled. What were cultivators doing attacking his mansion? He hadn't offended any cultivators recently had he?
While Wu Tian's family was trying to figure out the reason the cultivators were attacking, the old man who had been referred to as uncle Xie was wondering about the feeling he had just had.
He had felt as if a lofty being had been observing him from the sky. This feeling could only come from the spiritual sense of a cultivator with higher strength than him. Could they have been followed, Or was there a higher rank cultivator in this mansion?
He felt some misgivings, thus he cautioned the young man "young master, we need to be cautious, someone may be spying on us .I felt a gaze on us but I couldn't track it. There could even be a cultivator in this mansion. We need to be very careful. "
The young man nodded solemnly, as a potential heir to the bright pearl pavilion, he had to have some abilities. He knew better than to disregard his guardian's warning.
However, that didn't mean he was ready to go back. He walked steadily towards the mansion. As he neared the mansion entrance, invisible ripples spread out from him. They seemed to affect the surrounding people.
The people around seemed to unconsciously avoid him as they walked past, this was a spiritual sense technique that cultivators who had reached a certain realm could employ on mortals.
The two people simply strolled to the front of the county lord's mansion and strolled inside as if they were entering their own home. The guards stationed at the entrance were vigilantly keeping watch but the two passed through unobstructed as if they weren't there, just a specter. They strolled around the mansion, their spiritual sense activating as they scanned the mansion.
"Uncle Xie, let's search and see if there are any clues here, after that we will capture those who arrested Qing Mu and interrogate them. This is a remote county region anyway the sky cloud sect won't care about it."
However just as he said that, he was shocked to find three people appear before him, they seemed to be a couple and their child and they were looking right at them. This meant that they weren't affected by the spiritual sense technique he had deployed, leaving him wary.
Wu Zemin had a neutral expression as he addressed the two intruders, "Hello guests, May I know how I can help you."
The two were startled, and they carefully scanned Wu Zemin, Wu Tian and Lin Qing. They found that only Lin Qing had vague spirit energy fluctuations, while Wu Zemin and Wu Tian appeared to be mere mortals.
The young master and Uncle Xie exchanged glances, the young man stepped forward. "My name is Huan Ming, a scion for of the bright pearl pavilion. We apologize for intruding; we didn't know that there was a cultivator in the mansion."
Wu Zemin nodded evenly, "It's all right. We could overlook your mistake. We are a peaceful family. Just be careful on your way out." The invitation to leave was very apparent.
Huan Ming hesitated, he remembered uncle Xie's warning about being observed, a person who could do that to uncle Xie could be really strong, and there may be one in this mansion, but he really wasn't reconciled with leaving with empty hands.
His hesitation lasted only for a moment before a resolute expression appeared on his face; he looked at Wu Zemin keenly and asked, "I heard that you arrested a cultivator called Qing Mu, could I please know what happened to her."
Wu Zemin cursed internally; they had hoped that Huan Ming would retreat because of the uncertainty of finding potential cultivators in the mansion. He put on a cold expression and said frigidly, "There is a cultivator by that name wanted by the county government; she attacked people from my mansion. Could you be her companions?"
Huan Ming contemplated for a while then said, "This is really important information for us. My bright pearl pavilion will surely remember this favor."
"That cultivator escaped after attacking my people. We are still searching for her. she killed two of my people and injured many others. If I should catch her she definitely won't have a good end, " Wu Zemin's face was full of righteous fury.
Huan Ming plastered on an apologetic expression, "I apologize for her behavior. We will definitely look for her and give you an explanation. But could she have left anything behind." He knew it was unlikely that Wu Zemin would admit if anything was left behind but he still had to try.
"No, I think you should leave now." Wu Zemin had an unwelcoming expression which infuriated Huan Ming, he really wished he could fling a fireball at Wu Zemin but his caution held him back.
While he was inwardly fuming, he received a voice transmission from uncle Xie, "Young master, I scanned the mansion with my spirit sense. I discovered a several children's items in a courtyard. There is also a place that's concealed from my spiritual sense. They could be the immortal seeds Qin Mu was talking about hidden there. There isn't any other cultivator around. It's only that female cultivator. Although I can't determine her cultivation, she doesn't have the spiritual pressure of a foundation establishment cultivator. "
Huan Ming's breath caught in his throat and the way he looked at Wu Zemin and his family changed. He had a sinister expression on his face as he exclaimed
"ha! who would have thought you were just a mortal wearing the skin of a tiger. You really dared to attack a cultivator of our bright pearl manor. How bold." Saying that he immediately moved to attack, a fireball rose from his hand and sped towards Wu Zemin.
