Walker Of The Worlds

Zhu Zhu almost fell when he heard the voice behind him.

"DON'T KILL ME ELDERS!!!!" Zhu Zhu cried out on instinct.

Lin Mu observed the startled man, who seemed to be hiding his head in his knees. He simply stood there and waited for the man to come to his senses. Thankfully, it didn't take long and Zhu Zhu felt something was wrong when he didn't get the wind knocked out of him in five seconds.

Lifting the fingers off his head, he tilted it and sneaked a look at the person standing in front of him. At first, he only saw the legs and they were draped in robes that were not recognizable to him.

'That doesn't seem like any elder's robes…' Zhu Zhu thought.

Finally, building up a little courage, he wholly lifted his head and looked at the young handsome man standing there. There were spirit Qi fluctuation coming from him that were no weaker than most elders.

But poor Zhu Zhu didn't know that this was only because Lin Mu was holding them in. He didn't want to alert the sect and make things more tiresome for himself. At least not when there was a chance that there was something sinister happening here.

"W-who… Who are you?" Zhu Zhu questioned.

"That does not matter… what matters is what I can offer you." Lin Mu stated plainly.

Tens of thoughts ran through Zhu Zhu's mind as he tried to wrap it around this situation. He couldn't understand how someone could appear here in the room he had made in the ground.

Especially since it was closed off entirely and even he would need to dig his way out. There were only some small openings that would bring in air and some sound from the outside.
