Walker Of The Worlds

Yuan Tu's loud exclamation was enough to surprise the workers all around him.

"You can't be Lin Mu!?" Yuan Tu shouted.

"It's been a while, Uncle Yuan Tu." Lin Mu said in response. "But it really is me. You remember my father, but forgot me?"

"How… how can this be?" Yuan Tu felt his world flipping.

'It's not possible… the boy should be dead…' Yuan Tu recalled the many soldiers that had come asking about Lin Mu in the past.

He had been questioned along with many others. They were then told that Lin Mu had done some great crime and was wanted dead or alive. It had stunned the peasants, but Yuan Tu was pleased.

And over the years, there was no news or information about Lin Mu either. The wanted notice also disappeared after a while and couldn't be seen in the town either, making Yuan Tu think that Lin Mu must have either been caught or killed by now.

But seeing him alive and not just well, but thriving, left him utterly astounded.

Lin Mu could roughly guess the man's thoughts, but couldn't care for them anymore.

Instead, he just ignored him for now and turned to the supervisor, who had not expected Yuan Tu to know a powerful lord like this. After all, he could tell that Lin Mu was at least a Nascent soul realm cultivator.

Experts with such a high cultivation base were often patriarchs of large clans, or in high positions such as that of a minister in the royal court.

"How much is the harvest in deficit this time? What of the peasants' wages?" Lin Mu questioned the supervisor.

"My lord, the deficit is nearly 50% this time. The yield turned out to be greatly lower, as we couldn't procure the right fertilizers. The supply of fertilizer has fallen greatly in the past two years and the number of merchants bringing it to the town had also reduced.

We tried asking Wu Lim City official too, but they didn't do much. And with the great tragedy there, I don't think they could do much, anyway. I sent a request to the royal capital but received no response.
