1398 Xukong's Acquaintance?

Lin Mu watched as the officer did his work, not expressing anything to him. They stood like this for a minute before the man finally spoke.
“Alright, Mu Lin from the Eight Kingdom Alliance, First Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, met an accident while using a teleportation array and is going to the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts.” The officer narrated. “Is that all correct?” he asked.
“Yes.” Lin Mu agreed.
“Alright. You are cleared.” The officer plainly said before looking behind Lin Mu, “Next!”
Lin Mu kept a calm expression on his face, but knew that it was a little strange. ‘They really let us in without the need for any other identity token… that was easier than I thought.’
“With the amount of people that pass by, there isn’t much they need to do. Besides, if there was someone truly dangerous there are already checks in place to deal with it.” Xukong spoke in Lin Mu’s mind.
Lin Mu looked around and found that it was correct. There were several arrays and people watching over everything and most of the checks were actually automated.
If the arrays didn’t detect anything suspicious then there was little for them to worry about.
‘So the registration was just a formality… no wonder the man didn’t seem to care much.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
While it all seemed pretty minor it was actually a part of a larger section of the workings of the Rust Sky world. Lin Mu got to see how much more safety there was simply due to there being high leveled arrays around.
It also made Lin Mu a lot more aware about what he needed to pay attention too. There were arrays hidden all around in cities and he would have to be a lot more careful with them around.
“Let’s find a place to stay and also get some news. I’m lacking on that aspect too…” Lin Mu asked around and was quickly directed to one of the many streets that were filled with inns and taverns.
With the sheer number of people arriving everyday there was no lack of them and a lot of foot traffic could be seen around. Lin Mu randomly picked one of the establishments that was a bit calmer and walked in.
“Welcome customer, what would you like to have? Or do you wish for a room to stay in?” The clerk at the desk asked.
“Are there private rooms available?” Lin Mu asked.
“Of course. All our rooms are protected by isolating formations and also reinforced with Dark Iron Wood.” The clerk replied. “Or if sir prefers something even more private, we can currently offer you a private courtyard as well.” He added after taking a second look at Lin Mu.
“How much are the prices for both?” Lin Mu inquired.
“Our normal rooms are one mid grade immortal stone for each day while the private courtyard is about ten mid Grade immortal stones per day.” The clerk answered.
“I’ll take the private courtyard then. Just for a day now, though I might extend later.” Lin Mu said before handing out the immortal stones.
With the massive amount of immortal stones that Elder Niji and Lanbao had given him, Lin Mu could be said to be rather rich. And while he would be fine with a normal room too, Lin Mu didn’t think it would be appropriate with the Saintess there.
Plus Lin Mu wanted there to be an extra level or privacy since he had the twin snakes involved.
“Thank you sir, please come with me I’ll show you to the courtyard.” The clerk quickly brought him to the back of the building which opened up into a rather vast compound.
In the compound a garden could be seen and at the end of the garden there was the courtyard. It was decently large and actually looked a bit luxurious too.
“This courtyard is usually used by our owner or his guests but it just happened to be empty, thus you can use it. You can expect for find plenty of amenities inside and if you need anything you can simply call the servants through the formation inside.
Also let me know if you would like to have food or any drinks. We have a fine assortment of immortal wines that have freshly arrived.” The clerk explained.
Lin Mu simply nodded and didn’t ask for anything. All he wanted now was to talk to the Saintess and learn more about the snakes.
~CREAK~
~THUD~
The door opened up automatically and Lin Mu simply walked in before letting his immortal sense cover the entire place. He looked through the arrays and ensured that everything was fine before calling for the Saintess.
“Are you here Saintess?” Lin Mu asked openly.
~SHUA~
A few meters from him, he felt the air flicker before it parted, revealing the Saintess. Her methods were impressive to Lin Mu as he knew that she had managed to evade his sense with ease too.
“We should sit for this.” The Saintess said walking into the main building.
Lin Mu took a seat opposite to her and released the twins from his sleeves. They were still in a trance like state and seemed to be cultivating too.
“The Insignia will allow them to breakthrough quickly. It is best if they reach the immortal realm as soon as possible.” The Saintess said.
“How do you know all this Saintess? And why are you looking for them?” Lin Mu asked.
“I… am the Saintess of the Serpent Moon Sect. And I’m out looking for them since they are part of our Seven Ancestral Serpents. They are sacred to us and we have been waiting for their return for millions of years.” The Saintess replied.
Hearing this, Lin Mu found it to be unknown to him. But then he heard another voice in his head.
“The Serpent Moon Sect… so it’s her…” Xukong spoke in recognition.
“You know it senior?” Lin Mu was surprised.
“You can say that… the sect’s founder and I can be considered acquaintances.”
