Chapter 988

Granny Meng and Gui Huanyin

“This is how you welcome guests?” Mu Yu snarked.

“A guest, you say? Why did I never hear anything about having a guest?” questioned Gui Huanyin.

“Where are you from?” Granny Meng pressed a shaky hand on the wall, flicking on the ghost flames to provide lightning and casting her gaze onto the emblem at his chest. “Celestial Star Sect?”

Mu Yu saluted the duo with a palm and fist salute. “This one is Tian Xingzhou. He is here to discuss the elemental demon attack on Leisure River City. Due to the abruptness and urgency of the situation, Gui Sunai assigned a disciple to escort me here.”

“Huanyin, have you met Tian Xingzhou before?”

“Hehehe, Senior Sister, Elder Tian Xingzhou has been busy indulging in his deluxe abode for the last thirty years, and his cultivation has already reached unimaginable levels. How would I have had the honour of meeting him?”

“If my junior is correct, then I have no means of confirming your identity,” asserted Granny Meng, carefully pulling back the walking stick’s hand as she continued studying Mu Yu.

“Greetings, Elders. I am Gui Yuehu, a disciple of the thirty-sixth division.” Gui Yuehu came in on Mu Yu’s orders.

Granny Meng screened Gui Yuehu to confirm there were no abnormalities, then asked, “What brings Elder Tian Xingzhou here?”

Gui Yuehu relayed, “I do not know. Lord Gui Sunai, who is stationed at Leisure River City, instructed me to escort Elder Tian here for a discussion.”

Granny Meng quickly analysed the situation and conveyed, “Elder Tian, all foreigners visiting must pass my Narakade Bridge, but I must confirm your identity, so please do pardon my confrontation. Huanyin, take him to His Eminence.”

“Understood, Senior Sister. Elder Tian, please follow me.” Gui Huanyin led from the front while Granny Meng followed behind them, clearly still wary of hm,

Ah, crap, he’d see through my disguise straight away. If he’s now an Apotheosis Realm cultivator, I’m screwed. I was supposed to go stir the twins dumped with Elder Meng. Time for the alternative plan, Mu Yu bemoaned in his mind.

Upon crossing the passage and reaching Narakade Bridge, Gui Huanyin stopped. “Elder Tian, please wait here for a moment.”

When Granny Meng fetched her red soup from the basin on the right to her onto the bridge, Mu Yu sped up and, sporting an anxious expression, voiced, “We must make haste, or the city will face a crisis!”

“Wait, you cannot cross yet!” Gui Huanyin warned too late for Mu Yu had already crossed to the other side by the time the words rolled off her tongue. “What do we do now, Senior Sister?”

“Looks like someone really has come for you, kekeke.” As a green glow came to her eyes, Granny Meng scrunched her face up.

“What’s taking Brother Mu Yu so long?” lamented Tian Ran, staring at the greenwood in her hand.”

“Relax. He’s an expert in fighting ghosties,” assuaged Xiaoshuai, snacking on a drumstick whilst sitting on Tian Ran’s thigh.

Tian Ran turned her attention to the small spring originating from the top of the neighbouring mountain. “Xiaoshuai, what… is the water user, Qiao Xue, like?”

“Why do you care? Do you not trust MuYu?”

Tian Ran curled her lips. “I haven’t seen him in years. Do you reckon he liked her because she’s pretty?”

“Mm… I don’t know who’s prettier between you two. You’re both pretty. I like you both.”

“You’re the same as Mu Yu.”

“No. I like you the most.”

“Lies. You’ll tell Qiao Xue the same thing, I bet.” Tian Ran gently tugged Xiaoshuai’s ear. “Tell me what sort of girl she is.”

“Hehe, why do you care so much about her?”

“Well… Well… I want to know what Mu Yu likes about her. Everyone says I’m innocent, so I’m worried I’m too innocent for Brother Mu Yu… I’m wondering if I need to change.”

“Nah, Mu Yu likes you the way you are now. You should’ve seen him when you died at Pure Peace City. You’re really important to him.”

“Yeah? Hehehe.” Tian Ran, then pouted. “Why does he like Qiao Xue, then?”

“I don’t know. Maybe because they are hosts for spirit lords? Ju Mang and Xuan Ming are made for each other, after all. At least that’s what Mu Yu told me. He doesn’t know how he feels about Qiao Xue. What happened that day was just an accident…”

“What happened?”

Xiaoshuai covered his mouth and shook his head. Suddenly, Tian Ran jumped to her feet, prompting Xiaoshuai to anxiously cry, “I really can’t tell you even if you give me drumsticks. I can only talk about it when Mu Yu is present. If I tell you now, it’s going to spell trouble.”

“Someone’s nearby.” Tian Ran grabbed Xiaoshuai and started going backwards, making sure to survey the surroundings.

“Secular World Sect’s members do have senses as keen as the rumours claim.”
