Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Chapter 640 - Jing Luo In Trouble?

Having heard Lin Mu, Jingming Shang deliberated over his words for a few minutes before nodding his head.

"I guess I can do the part you were telling me about, but what’s the other thing you want from me?" Jingming Shang questioned.

"I think it would be better if I talk to you about it along with another ally of ours." Lin Mu replied.

"Another ally? Who?" Jingming Shang asked feeling curious.

"Grandson of old man Jing Wei," Lin Mu said with a smile.

Jingming Shang was surprised to say the least upon hearing that the man had another grandchild.

"Let’s go meet up with him and then we can talk further about the plans." Lin Mu added.

"Alright... but where is he?" Jingming Shang questioned.

"Hmm, let me check." Lin Mu said and took out the communication jade slip before contacting Jing Luo.

After a few seconds, Lin Mu put away the jade slip and had a wry smile on his face before he looked at the city.

"He’s waiting for us at a certain restaurant at the south of the city." Lin Mu stated.

"Why do you look like that? Did something happen?" Jingming Shang asked.

"Yes... a little trouble. We’ll see it once we get there." Lin Mu said.

Jingming Shang nodded his head and then the two men went to the restaurant where Jing Luo was previously. Since the two of them were already out of the city, they could directly fly around the outer area of the city and speed their way to the southern part.

Having reached there, Lin Mu and Jingming Shang got down at one of the smaller hills and then walked to the city gate. Upon seeing Jingming Shang the guards simply cupped their hands and let the two men in.

They didn’t even question who they were, which showed that Jingming Shang was quite a bit influential and famous in the city.

"Just some perks of being in the merchant council." Jingming Shang chuckled.

The two of them then went to the street where the restaurant was located and spotted it rather easily. It was the biggest building on that street and seemed to be far more luxurious than the other restaurants Lin Mu had seen.

Lin Mu spread his spirit sense and soon spotted Jing Luo inside the restaurant. He was at the top floor of the building and was currently standing over five men and a collapsed table. There were empty plates laying around in fragments and food platters bent.

~Sigh~

"What did he do..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

The two of them climbed to the top floor and saw Jing Luo arguing with a man.

"You dare make trouble in my restaurant!" The man who seemed to be the owner of the place shouted.

"You are the ones who offended me first! How dare you say the spirit stones I have are fake!" Jing Luo shouted back.

As soon as Lin Mu head this, he instantly understood what must have happened.

"Is that him?" Jingming Shang asked.

"Yup. That’s him alright." Lin Mu replied.

Currently there were barely any spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the body of Jing Luo and it was evident that he was hiding his cultivation base. This was decided by Lin Mu and him beforehand so as to hide their identities and avoid trouble.

"I’ll take care of this. Best we leave this place soon..." Jingming Shang whispered to Lin Mu. "What’s going on here?" he then asked out loud.

Jingming Shang’s voice attracted the attention of everyone in the room and they looked at him. The owner of the restaurant who spotted him felt like he had found a companion and his eyes lit up.

Jing Luo saw Lin Mu as well and kept his expression intact.

"Senior Shang! You came at the right time. This person is a fraud that dares to cheat me. He first ate a lot of food, all of them being the most expensive dishes of my place. Then when it cames time to pay the bill, he didn’t have any coins!

He did say that he had spirit stones instead and then I got suspicious. You know there have been accounts of stammers using fake spirit stones to cheat people and he is the same. Look at this!" the owner shot out a series of sentences without stopping.

The owner held out a spirit stone that was the size of a index finger in front of him.

"Look at the size, it’s not even close to that of a spirit stone. Does he really believe that he can fool us by showing such a big spirit stones? Everyone knows spirit stones are the size of fingernails, despite their grade." The owner said smugly.

Lin Mu and Jingming Shang couldn’t help but face palm upon hearing this.

"You hearing this man? Look how ridiculous he sounds. Can’t one just probe a spirit stone and check if its real?" Jing Luo stated.

"Humph! You think I don’t know the fraudsters tricks? You guys make fake stones and inject a certain amount of spirit Qi into them to make them seem authentic. But then they deteriorate automatically after a while.

You don’t even know how to cheat people correctly and made a wrong sized spirit stone." The owner accused.

The other customers in the room looked on in interest. To them this was free entertainment that was a lot more interesting than what they got to see at the drama houses. Lin Mu didn’t know what to do and shook his head.

He looked at Jing Luo’s face and the anger that was suppressed beneath it.

"You better take care of this soon, or this restaurant will be flattened soon." Lin Mu whispered to Jingming Shang. "He is no less powerful than me." He added.

~gulp~

Jingming Shang instantly straighted his back upon hearing this and walked to the owner.

~SLAP~

"YOU FOOL!" Jingming Shang yelled at the man.

The owner who didn’t have a good cultivation base being at the mid stage of the Qi refining realm was knocked all the way to the wall.
