Walker Of The Worlds

The members of the Hei corps guided Lin Mu to the mansion. Along the way, he got to see the beauty of the garden and the decorations that had been placed around. Though the biggest part of the mansion's area was none other than the lake.

The lake had no specific name and was simply called as the Wu Lim City lake. All of the buildings that surrounded it were considered to be of high quality and belonged to the influential people of the city. Perhaps the only building better than these was the Mayor's manor.

There were a few small artificial islands made in the lake, and there were red wooden bridges extending from the banks of the lakes and joining them. The artificial islands had ornate pavilions constructed on them. Stone table and chairs were placed in the pavilions, which were exquisitely carved.

Lin Mu had thought that he was going to be taken into the Mansion but to his surprise, he was actually being taken towards the lake. Upon getting closer, he could soon see the back of a man that was sitting in the pavilion on the artificial island.

He was wearing a plain white robe and exuded a scholarly aura.

"My lord, senior Lin Mu is here." The member of the Hei corps introduced.

The scholarly looking man turned around and a plain smile appeared on his face. There was a small book in his left hand, while in his right hand there was a small wine cup. The man placed down the wine cup and closed the book before cupping his hands in a greeting.

"Welcome to my humble abode, brother Lin Mu." Wu Hei Spoke in a genial voice.

"I am honored to finally meet Lord Hei." Lin Mu reciprocated.

"Please sit," Wu Hei said as he gestured.

Lin Mu took a seat opposite to Wu Hei and the scholarly man poured him a cup of wine. But then Wu Hei saw the slight unwillingness on Lin Mu's face and knew that perhaps this was not right.
