Walker Of The Worlds

Hearing the Crown Prince's words, Lin Mu knew his initial guess was right.

He had already felt the strangeness in the Crown Prince when he had translated the information on the Stele. Lin Mu wasn't as naive as to think that Crown Prince Feng Shun's interest in him had died that easily. If anything, it seemed like the man was just waiting for something.

'Is his wait over now?' Lin Mu wondered. 'Though… if he is interested in me, why would he call the others too? For something private it doesn't make sense.' He further thought, feeling a bit confused.

"What task might that be Crown Prince Feng Shun?" Lin Mu asked with a neutral expression, ensuring that he showed no bias so that the Crown Prince might catch on to it.

If Lin Mu showed fake interest, the man might change his attitude, and if he showed distaste, the prince might take it as an offense.

Of course, all this was just guesswork on Lin Mu's part, but he couldn't assume what one would act like after just one meeting. The best Lin Mu could do was to assume the worst and act accordingly.

No one knew about the hundred thoughts that sped through Lin Mu's mind in seconds, as he thought of all possible scenarios. Lin Mu was also relieved that he had taken a look at the Little Glory Palace's arrays before entering.

'If push comes to shove and I need to escape, I can always trigger a forceful teleportation.' Lin Mu reckoned.

But what Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke was not in any of his predictions.

"I want you to fight someone in the Tournament of the Four Guardian Beasts." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated.

"Huh?" Lin Mu's composure broke, as he showed true confusion on his face.

He wasn't the only one either, as the others seemed to be confused too. After all, what Crown Prince Feng Shun had asked seemed to be a little redundant. Lin Mu was going to participate in the Tournament, this was open knowledge and thus wasn't something the man was implying.
