1597 The Saintess Brings A Booklet

While Niu Juo went on the search for nonexistent targets, the true person behind it had just finished a massive meal.

Lin Mu was unaware that there were now people looking for the Eleventh Prince, though it was going to be impossible. After all, the prince had long since turned to ashes and his traces were sent into the void.

With that done, perhaps only divination might tell what had happened here.

Though it also helped that the prince himself had been hiding his traces from others too. One could even say, the prince had made it easier for Lin Mu to avoid being found out.

“That was a good meal.” Lin Mu said as he patted his belly.

The twins finally got to try some of Little Shrubby’s food properly and it was safe to say they were pleased.

They were now all coiled up, digesting all that they had eaten. Though it wasn’t going to take them more than a few hours to digest it all. Lin Mu was the same after all.

Having finished his meal though, Lin Mu was reminded of the Saintess.

‘She hasn’t come for a while…’ Lin Mu thought before recalling that she had said she’d be observing. ‘Did she see me obtain the ring too?’ he wondered.

While Lin Mu knew the rings were invisible, he didn’t know if it was the same when it was not on his hand. That was the first time it had left his hand after all, thus he didn’t know if the invisibility still applied.

On top of it all, Lin Mu felt a little nervous about meeting the Saintess again.

After all, since their last conversation, a lot of things had changed and he had done some concerning things too. Lin Mu deliberated over it for a while before deciding to deal with it directly.

‘Best to just talk to her, rather than think about it too much…’ Lin Mu concluded.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu called out. “Saintess, are you there?”

He then waited with bated breath, wondering how long it’ll take for the Saintess to respond.

Minute after minute passed by, but there was still no response.

Ten minutes later, Lin Mu spoke again.

“Saintess?” But even then there was no response. “Did she leave the plane?” Lin Mu couldn’t help but wonder.

An hour had passed by, but the Saintess had still not appeared, making Lin Mu a bit worried.

“Can you sense her Senior?” Lin Mu finally decided to ask Xukong.

“Rather than me, I think the Twins might have a better chance at finding her.” Xukong suggested. “I can’t do much from here after all.”

“That’s true.” Lin Mu nodded his head before talking to the twins. “Can you call the Saintess?” he asked.

~HISS~

The twins looked at him with tilted heads before finally nodding in understanding.

They then closed their eyes and seemed to be doing something. Lin Mu couldn’t tell what, but knew that it must be something the Saintess had put on them.

~SHUA~

Finally, a faint trace of energy rose from their body and disappeared into the air. Lin Mu saw the Taiji Symbol appear on the heads of the twins too. It was the same mark that the Saintess had put on them.

Lin Mu couldn’t tell where the energy went as it was too fast for his perception too. But after a few seconds, he sensed the space tremble a bit.

~HUALA~

Then finally, the air near them flickered and the figure of the Saintess appeared. Though looking at her, Lin Mu found something different. This time she wasn’t barehanded. She actually brought something back with her.

“Did you leave the plane, Saintess?” Lin Mu asked, feeling confused.

The Saintess though, didn’t answer him right away. First, she confirmed that the twins were fine and then responded.

“Yes… I was outside.” The Saintess said, feeling relieved that the twins were fine.

pAn,D a-n0ve1,c-o-m “I was calling for an hour, but you didn’t respond. So I was worried. I’m glad that you’re fine.” Lin Mu replied.

“You concerned for me?” The Saintess was surprised. “What’s going to happen to me? In this world?” she found it a bit strange too.

After all, she was a celestial, and there wasn’t really anything that could threaten her in this world. Sure, her cultivation base might be restricted due to the limits of the world, but if there was really something that would threaten her, it was not an issue to release all her restrains.

Upon hearing the Saintess, Lin Mu thought over his words and realized that he was being silly.

“Ah, of course…” Lin Mu smiled wryly. “It’s just that you always responded quick enough. That’s why…”

“It’s fine.” The Saintess waved her free hand. “I was going to return soon anyways.” She said before extending her other hand that held an object.

“A book?” Lin Mu looked at her hand. “What is it?” he asked.

“Take it. I think you’ll want to know.” She said before handing him the book.

Lin Mu read through the book and discovered that it was actually an information manual. And not just any information manual, but one about the upcoming Tournament of the Guardian beast temple!

It had information about who was going to participate as well as which powers were going to arrive in the Rust Sky world to observe it. There were even sections that showed the current ongoing bets.

People had wasted no time to start betting, even if the tournament was still a few months away.

“They already have something like this ready? Isn’t the registration of the participants open until the very end?” Lin Mu said after reading it.

“These booklets are selling everywhere now. People are getting ready for the tournament, it seems.” The Saintess replied. “As for the participants in the booklet, they seem to be the ones that have already registered or are well known.” She added.

“I see…” Lin Mu said, feeling a bit surprised.

“Are you thinking of participating in it?” The Saintess asked, feeling curious.

“I did intend to, but I have another task to do before that.” Lin Mu answered.
