Chapter 727 Keep a Low Profile
The light and shadow flickered, dazzling.
Wow!
The five Condensation Stage cultivators immediately surrounded Lin Mu, ready to attack.
Lin Mu was smiling, floating in the air, not even using the Heart Sword, and not even using the Sword Domain. He looked very relaxed.
The five Condensation Stage cultivators of the Xu family did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
They all saw that Lin Mu's cultivation was already in the late stage of Condensation, stronger than them. If he had a powerful trump card, he would suffer a great loss if he rushed forward.
It would be better to test it first.
Xu Jiao was very anxious, scolding the five people, urging, "Hurry up and kill him!"
In Lin Mu's eyes, this anxious look was not majestic at all, but rather cute.
It was indeed a young girl who had not experienced much of the world. She was arrogant and unscrupulous, but she was not bad at heart. Hua Jin would be a good choice to follow her.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Mu decided to listen to Hua Jin.
Jinxiu Realm was prosperous, with many schools of thought and forces. He had just arrived, so it was not appropriate for him to rush in. It would be better to find a place to settle down first.
The Xu family was the first immortal cultivation family in Qianjin City, with a strong foundation, which was just right.
"I think you may have misunderstood." Lin Mu made a decision, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. He looked at the five cultivators in the Condensation Stage and Xu Jiao, and said gently, "I am not a bad person."
The faces of the five cultivators in the Condensation Stage were all stunned, and then they were all secretly happy.
Lin Mu did not take action, nor did he show his power, but they all felt a sense of fear in their hearts. If they could turn hostility into friendship without taking action, it would naturally be the best.
But they were secretly happy in their hearts, but some people did not think so.
"You said you are not a bad person, so you are not a bad person?" Xu Jiao glared at Lin Mu, "Why should I believe you?"
Then, without distinguishing right from wrong, she ordered the five Condensation Stage cultivators again, "No matter whether he is a good person, a bad person, or whoever he is, catch him first, don't let him run away!"
It is really difficult.
Lin Mu smiled bitterly, then patiently pointed at the three Yuanying late stage cultivators who fell on the ground, and said kindly: "I just besieged the three of you, and I have killed them."
"Who can know if you are the mantis catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind?" Xu Jiao still didn't believe it, "I don't care, I must catch you first today."
I will never give up until I achieve my goal.
Lin Mu had a headache, so he had to pull Hua Jin over and said with a smile: "I am Brother Hua Jin. I happened to meet her here this time, so I helped her."
"Who are you kidding? I'm not a three-year-old child." Xu Jiaoqiong wrinkled her nose and refused to listen. "Hua Jin told me that she came from a small world, Tianxiao World. Are you his brother? You ran from Tianxiao World to Jinxiu World to save her? Even if you have this intention, can you make it?"
"What you said really makes sense. It seems that you are not stupid." Lin Mu smiled and muttered in a low voice.
Encountering such a difficult girl really tested his patience.
"Who are you calling stupid?" Xu Jiao's hearing was quite sharp, and her face immediately showed murderous intent. She ordered the five Condensation Stage cultivators, "Hurry up and do it!"
"Miss, what if he is really a good person?" A Condensation Stage cultivator kindly advised, "What if we kill him by mistake?"
"Who told you to kill him? I told you to catch him. I want to interrogate this person. He suddenly appeared here and killed the three people who attacked us before. He must want to kill and silence them, with some ulterior motives." Xu Jiao looked at Lin Mu, as if she saw through Lin Mu's ill intentions at once.
It is true that those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black. This little girl is in the first cultivation family in Qianjin City. She must have seen too much intrigue, right?
If she really had this awareness, why did she run out alone?
"I said we met by chance, it's clearly a coincidence." Lin Mu patiently explained, "Fate is hard to predict, not to mention me, even if your grandfather came, he couldn't explain it. Don't make random guesses, I really don't mean any harm."
"My grandfather is omnipotent, he will definitely explain it clearly." Xu Jiao said arrogantly, "If you are open-minded, why can't you explain it clearly?"
Lin Mu suddenly felt a headache.
"It was me who saved you, I did a good deed, didn't I?" Lin Mu looked helpless, "In the end, you interrogated me like this, making me look like a heinous criminal. I didn't offend you, did I?"
Hua Jin smiled and sent a message to Lin Mu: "Now you have seen it, right?"
No longer embarrassing Lin Mu, Hua Jin quickly stood up and said to Xu Jiao: "This is indeed my senior brother. I almost died here just now. Fortunately, my senior brother showed up in time and saved me."
"He is really your senior brother?" Xu Jiao was surprised, "How could there be such a coincidence?"
"Fortunately, there is this coincidence, otherwise I would have died." Hua Jin knew Xu Jiao's temper well and did not entangle with her on this coincidence.
"You are Hua Jin's senior brother, so you have a close relationship with me." Xu Jiao immediately said to Lin Mu, "Come back with us, I will reward you handsomely."
She said it as if it was a matter of course, as if Lin Mu had already agreed.
"I'm very busy and don't have time to go now." Lin Mu was secretly happy in his heart, but he deliberately shirked and teased Xu Jiao, returning all the previous frustration.
"No, you must go today!" Xu Jiao said hurriedly.
Lin Mu deliberately said with a stern face: "Do you have such a reward?"
"Then when are you free?" Xu Jiao wanted to get angry, but after looking at Hua Jin, she had to force herself to hold back, "What are you going to do? I can help you."
She looked like a landlord, as if there was nothing she couldn't do in the brocade world.
"I want to relax." Lin Mu said seriously.
Xu Jiao was stunned, then reacted, pointed at Lin Mu, and said angrily: "Are you kidding me?"
"Just a joke." Lin Mu smiled again, "Why are you so serious?"
Xu Jiao stomped her feet, turned her face away in anger, and ignored Lin Mu.
Lin Mu couldn't help laughing at her frustrated look.
Hua Jin hurried forward to comfort Xu Jiao.
She knew Xu Jiao's temper very well. If she went crazy, the situation would be really difficult to deal with.
With Hua Jin's comfort, Xu Jiao recovered quickly, but still did not speak to Lin Mu.
"I think there are some spiritual stones and resources in the storage bags of these three people. You can take them." Lin Mu said to Hua Jin with a smile.
Hua Jin did not refuse, and immediately stepped forward to take the storage bags and flying swords of the three late Nascent Soul cultivators.
Just as he was leaving, a Condensation Stage cultivator was suddenly surprised to find that although these three Nascent Soul cultivators had fallen, their Nascent Souls were intact. It seemed that they killed these three people with their spiritual consciousness.
Looking at Lin Mu's eyes, he was immediately surprised.
The spiritual consciousness of the Condensation Stage cultivators is certainly better than that of the Nascent Soul cultivators, but it is extremely difficult to kill with spiritual consciousness, and it is even more difficult to kill three in succession.
This person is not simple!
Afterwards, he collected the bodies of the three Nascent Soul cultivators and took them back to feed the beasts. The Nascent Souls of the three were intact, which was of great benefit to the beasts.
The group officially set off.
After flying for five consecutive days, they did not see the shadow of Qianjin City.
Lin Mu realized how bold Xu Jiao was. With the Nascent Soul cultivation, she was wandering around in Jinxiu Realm and was so far away from home. It was normal for her to be targeted.
However, this also reflects the powerful strength of the Xu family from the side. So far away from home, Xu Jiao found five Condensation Stage cultivators after leaving the battle place for a while.
In this way, the Xu family is not a bad place to live.
After flying for eighteen days, they finally saw a vast city in front of them, shining and magnificent.
It was Qianjin City!
What surprised Lin Mu was that as the first immortal cultivation family in Qianjin City, the Xu family could only rank fifth among the major forces in Qianjin City.
If, as Hua Jin said, Grandpa Xu Jiao really entered the Fusion Stage, Qianjin City would have at least five Fusion Stage cultivators!
This was much stronger than Lin Mu expected.
He was no match for one Fusion Stage cultivator. If there were five Fusion Stage cultivators in one city of Qianjin City, he would have to be extremely covert and careful in the future.
He had already thought deeply about the wonderful idea of the Five Elements Magic Mirror. This was the only shortcut to quickly improve his strength and help him survive the Thunder Tribulation of the Return to Void Stage.
If this idea was obstructed and destroyed by someone, resulting in failure, the road ahead would become extremely rugged and bumpy, and it would take an unknown amount of time to break free from the shackles.
You must keep a low profile!
The Xu family is indeed the top power in Qianjin City. The mansion is vast and has many courtyards. The cultivators entering and leaving are generally those in the Condensation Stage and Return to Void Stage, and they can often be seen.
Xu Jiao is Xu Hong's only daughter. She is the apple of her eye and is loved by everyone. She has a courtyard deep in the mansion, with dozens of large and small courtyards.
Qianjin City, especially the inner city, is a place where every inch of land is fought for. Only the top power like the Xu family is so rich and powerful that there are many vacant courtyards in the mansion.
Tianjiao Courtyard!
This is the courtyard where Xu Jiao is located. Entering it is like being in a fairyland. Various precious and rare spiritual herbs are scattered throughout the courtyard. The spiritual energy is rich and substantial. All kinds of furnishings in the courtyard are extremely precious. There are many treasures that Lin Mu has never seen before.
Xu Jiao led Lin Mu to Tianjiao Courtyard, an exquisite courtyard, quiet and secluded, with only two quiet rooms.
"You will stay here temporarily." Xu Jiao arranged, "When you leave, every flower and grass here must be intact. If they are damaged, you must pay me double compensation."
"What if I want to live here for a long time?" Lin Mu looked at the small courtyard and smiled with satisfaction.
"Do you still want to stay here?" Xu Jiao spoke without mercy.
Lin Mu knew her temper and did not care about her. He smiled and said, "I have just come to Jinxiu Realm. I am unfamiliar with the place and it is difficult for me to gain a foothold. How about you arrange a job for me in the mansion to help me through the difficulties?"
"Since you saved us, I will reluctantly take you in." Xu Jiao finally smiled and said proudly.
Lin Mu could not help but secretly criticize the villain's smug look.
After all, he was a top expert. In the entire Xu family, only Grandpa Xu Jiao might be better than him, but that was just a rumor.
He even reluctantly took me in?
"What kind of job are you going to assign me?" Lin Mu asked with a forced smile.
"You can be a servant in Tianjiao Courtyard, watering the flowers and sweeping the floor for me." Xu Jiao said in high spirits, "Do a good job, and I will reward you handsomely if you do a good job!"
