Chapter 85 This Sect Leader Please Calm Down!
Hearing Qin Mu's words of comfort, Zhu Zhuqing felt even more apologetic.
He clearly cares about me so much, but I don't tell him the truth.
"It's okay, we can keep looking."
Qin Mu comforted Zhu Zhuqing while looking around as if searching for someone.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing assumed that Qin Mu was still helping her find someone, and her gratitude towards Qin Mu grew even stronger.
Just as she was about to explain to Qin Mu, Ling Yuan suddenly descended from the sky and landed beside Qin Mu.
"How about it?"
Qin Mu looked at Ling Yuan with hopeful eyes, hoping that Ling Yuan could bring good news directly.
However, to Qin Mu's disappointment, Ling Yuan simply shook her head at him.
"Little Qin Mu, I've searched all the dozen or so villages around here, and there's none of the kind you're talking about."
"Is that so..." Qin Mu was somewhat disappointed, but fortunately, he had placed most of his hopes on Zhu Zhuqing.
As long as Zhu Zhuqing can be found, that's all that matters.
"Um, Qin Mu."
Just as Qin Mu was about to comfort Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing spoke first.
"I'm sorry, Qin Mu, I didn't tell you the truth."
"The person I'm looking for is actually my fiancé."
"Furthermore, I only know his whereabouts from one or two years ago; I don't know exactly where he's been during this period..."
Qin Mu didn't care about the first half of Zhu Zhuqing's words, but after hearing the whole thing, his expression instantly turned ugly.
What do you mean by "you don't know exactly where it is"?
She was about to question him, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that if Zhu Zhuqing really knew Dai Mubai's position, then Dai Mubai's older brother would definitely have known it earlier than Zhu Zhuqing.
In that case, they would have sent someone to kill Dai Mubai long ago, and wouldn't have let him live this long.
Seeing the unpleasant look on Qin Mu's face, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, her knuckles turning pale from clenching her fists too tightly.
"I'm sorry, Qin Mu, I'll have to find someone myself from now on."
"I am very grateful for your help on both occasions!"
After speaking, Zhu Zhuqing bowed deeply to Qin Mu.
"Sigh. Oh well, let's leave it at that."
Qin Mu sighed softly and didn't say anything more to Zhu Zhuqing.
In the original story, Shrek Academy is located by starting from the south gate of Soto City, heading south, and finding a village.
But neither when the three of them arrived nor in the vicinity where Zhu Zhuqing led them could they find any trace of Shrek Academy.
Qin Mu had even sent Ling Yuan to scout out the surrounding villages, but they found nothing.
If I can't find it here, then there's no need for me to keep wasting my time like this.
After all, the most urgent task right now is to obtain the fifth spirit ring, and the current nobody is only a Grand Spirit Master with less than three spirit rings.
Qin Mu was confident that if the two met, he would be absolutely certain that he could kill Tang San on the spot.
Coming here was just a side trip, but perhaps due to my excessive interference, the plot deviated from its intended course.
In that case, it's better to continue strengthening our own capabilities; that's the only right approach.
Thinking of this, Qin Mu had no intention of staying and turned to say goodbye to Zhu Zhuqing.
However, Zhu Zhuqing saw it as a different story.
From Zhu Zhuqing's perspective, Qin Mu's expression turned ugly as soon as she finished confessing to him.
I initially wanted to scold myself, but I ultimately held back.
This made Zhu Zhuqing, who had developed a slight crush on Qin Mu, feel extremely uncomfortable.
Rather than taking advantage of Qin Mu and making him resentful, it's better to be sensible and leave on your own.
"In that case, I wish you find your fiancé soon."
"Take care on your journey, and see you again someday!"
After Qin Mu finished speaking, he strode away.
Seeing this, Ling Yuan and the other two didn't say anything more and turned to follow.
Zhu Zhuqing was left alone, staring blankly at the backs of Qin Mu and the other two until they completely disappeared from sight.
"Little Qin Mu, I'm a little confused."
"You were clearly very attentive to that girl, so why did you ask me to find Shrek Academy?"
"Or is there some connection between Shrek Academy and this girl?"
On the way, Ling Yuan couldn't resist her curiosity and asked Qin Mu a question.
However, Qin Mu remained vague and did not tell Ling Yuan the truth.
"Hey, but don't be too sad. I don't think this girl is any better than Nana."
Ling Yuan's words caused Qin Mu to stumble, and he then looked at Ling Yuan with a strange expression.
"What heartbreak am I talking about! If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense!"
Seeing Qin Mu's attitude, Ling Yuan was even more confused.
What is Qin Mu really thinking?
This time, Qin Mu and his two companions did not take a detour.
They traveled north and arrived at the city closest to the far north, Northern Land City.
Looking at the city before them, Qin Mu and Ling Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
Three years ago, they were forced to flee everywhere by the Clear Sky Sect, and finally escaped death in Northern Land City.
"Hmph, Clear Sky Sect!"
Ling Yuan couldn't help but let out a soft hum, clearly sharing the same thoughts as Qin Mu.
"Don't worry, those days will never come again!"
Qin Mu smiled and spoke to Ling Yuan, instantly enlivening the slightly tense atmosphere.
"Let's go, let's go find the Snow Woman directly."
As they spoke, Qin Mu and the other two were about to leave.
However, just as Qin Mu turned to leave, he suddenly sensed a somewhat familiar aura.
Looking towards the city of Northern Land, one could see a group of people gathered together.
"Hu Yanzhen, aren't you going too far in bullying us?"
In the crowd, a beautiful woman stood in the center, glaring fiercely at the middle-aged man who was at least two and a half meters tall.
Hu Yanzhen chuckled, then said in a somewhat lewd tone.
"Shui Yu'er, I have now joined the Spirit Hall, and our Elephant Armored Sect has become one of the Seven Sects."
"If you ask me, we should merge our two sides as soon as possible. Who knows, we might even become one of the three upper sects in our lifetime!"
"Alright then, I'll reluctantly agree to this and take the loss, and make you my concubine, how about that?!"
The beautiful woman known as Shui Yu'er was blushing with anger, and her chest heaved with rage, giving Hu Yanzhen, who was staring intently at Shui Yu'er, a feast for the eyes.
"You fat pig, don't even think about it! Even if our Shui family line ends in extinction, we will never join your Elephant Armored Sect!"
After being scolded by Shui Yu'er, Hu Yanzhen was not displeased at all; on the contrary, he showed a very satisfied expression.
"Still has such a bad temper..."
"But it's okay, I didn't come here today expecting you to see things clearly all at once."
"Just let Bing'er marry my grandson first."
Hu Yanzhen's gaze fell on the beautiful young woman beside Shui Yu'er.
"Bing'er, you don't want your Shui family to be wiped out like this, do you?"
