286: The King of Talking - Qin Zhe

Qin Zhe held the notebook signed by Li Mu tightly in his hand, his heart filled with excitement, and his face beaming with a brilliant smile.

However, just then, he heard Li Mu suddenly say that he had something to do and needed to leave first.

Qin Zhe's heart tightened; he still wanted to say a few more words to Li Mu, but he never expected the next scene to leave him dumbfounded—Li Mu disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye!

Although he knew Li Mu's strength was unfathomable, the scene before him still left Qin Zhe deeply shocked.

"This... this is simply too incredible!"

Qin Zhe's eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at the spot where Li Mu had just disappeared, muttering to himself, "This is much more amazing than a magic trick!

How great would it be if I could also possess this ability to instantly disappear."

Old Qin, standing by, silently glanced at Qin Zhe; he naturally understood Qin Zhe's inner thoughts.

So, Old Qin smiled slightly and softly said to Qin Zhe, "Don't worry, later on, you will naturally have it too. So, keep it up, young man!"

Qin Zhe was stunned when he heard this.

Qin Zhe turned his head, looking at Old Qin with a somewhat complex gaze.

Although he had already accepted the reality before him in his heart, every time he saw Old Qin, who looked exactly like himself, he still felt a bit awkward.

Seeing Old Qin's clear eyes, Qin Zhe knew that everyone had been chatting happily with Old Qin during this time, and only he had not actively interacted with Old Qin, simply because of the awkwardness in his heart.

But looking at Old Qin's expression, Qin Zhe suddenly realized that his long-standing awkwardness had actually been for nothing; why was he being awkward with himself?!

Qin Zhe scratched his head awkwardly, chuckling, "So that's how it is, then I won't be anxious, haha..."

When had Xin Mulan, who was beside Qin Zhe, ever seen Qin Zhe look so simple and honest?

After all, Qin Zhe had always been eloquent and could be said to be a true 'King of Eloquence.'

Seeing this situation, Xin Mulan couldn't help but tease, "Qin Zhe, oh Qin Zhe, what on earth is wrong with you? Where did your glib tongue go? Why have you suddenly lost the demeanor a King of Eloquence should have?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Xin Mulan, asking with puzzled expressions, "King of Eloquence? What is that?!"

Seeing this, Xin Mulan put her hands on her hips and explained triumphantly, "Heh heh! That's naturally a nickname this girl specially gave to Qin Zhe..."

At this moment, everyone was immersed in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, chatting happily and enjoying the beautiful moments brought by this brief tranquility.

"What do you all think, now that Li Mu knows about Old Qin's situation, what arrangements will he make next?" Lan Kun was the first to ask.

"Actually, according to what Old Qin said before, the plan Li Mu made was originally quite perfect, but unfortunately, a wrench was thrown into the works midway, disrupting the whole situation," Jin Meiting echoed.

At this point, Ke Ming's voice rang out: "In my opinion, why not just wipe out the Country of Sticks in one go? That would save a lot of trouble."

Zhao He immediately retorted: "If we really have to solve the problem by force, then it wouldn't be much of a challenge."

"Li Mu said he was going to find Senior Wu Ya; perhaps there will be an even more perfect plan than before," Old Qin said.

"Let's hope so, otherwise Li Mu will experience another loss this time, and I'm really worried that his mental state won't be able to withstand the blow," Jin Meiting echoed with concern.

"Have you noticed, Li Mu's 'disappearing act' is truly amazing! Unlike us who still need to use swords to perform Cultivation Techniques, he just instantly vanishes!" Hu Bingbing exclaimed in awe.

"Yes, that's how Li Mu infiltrated Old Qin's room this time, right!" Xiang Wenyan added.

"Exactly, Li Mu's strength is truly unfathomable; who would have thought that he has already stepped one foot into the Immortal Gate, and..."

Before Qin Zhe could finish his sentence, Xin Mulan cut him off and continued, "I wonder if he still poops like us mortals..."

"Xin Mulan, your focus is always different from others," Hu Bingbing said, laughing and teasing her.

Just as everyone was chatting, someone suddenly pushed open the door in a hurry.

After he entered, he looked around anxiously, as if searching for someone important.

However, after looking around, he did not see the person he was thinking of.

So, he asked in confusion, "Where's Li Mu? Is he not here?"

Everyone looked at each other, a bit bewildered for a moment.

They never dreamed that Wang Cao would come to the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, and even more so, to find Li Mu.

Jin Meiting shook her head helplessly and said, "You're too late; Li Mu already left a long time ago."

Wang Cao was extremely agitated, rushing forward in one stride, and asked eagerly, "How could that be... Didn't we agree that Li Mu would come here to find that fallen person? How could he leave so quickly?!"

Lan Kun also stepped forward, gently patted Wang Cao's shoulder, and comforted him, "He has indeed been gone for a while. What important matter do you have with Li Mu?"

Wang Cao's face was filled with disbelief, and his body involuntarily took a step back.

He originally thought that this time he would finally be able to successfully arrive at the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, but he never expected to still miss Li Mu by such a small margin... Wang Cao seemed to suddenly think of something and turned around without hesitation, ready to leave immediately.

Seeing this, Lan Kun quickly reached out and grabbed Wang Cao's shoulder, asking anxiously, "Are you planning to chase after Li Mu?"

Seeing Wang Cao nod, Lan Kun quickly continued to persuade him, "You can't catch up to him. After Li Mu finished explaining things to us, he instantly teleported in the room and then disappeared into thin air."

Wang Cao was stunned when he heard this, and asked in astonishment, "Instant teleportation? And he just disappeared?!"

Lan Kun nodded: "That's right, so you'd best give up the idea of trying to find Li Mu's whereabouts! You should know, given Li Mu's own strength, if he didn't want to see us himself, then in my opinion, nine times out of ten, we wouldn't be able to find Li Mu at all."

After hearing Lan Kun's words, Wang Cao became utterly dejected. He could be seen slumping his shoulders listlessly while muttering softly, "Sigh, in the end, I, the Heavenly Venerate, still came too late..."

Xin Mulan, standing by, nodded in agreement and said, "Exactly, exactly, you really came too late. We've already chatted with Li Mu for a long time; he left because he had something to do."

Hearing this, Wang Cao immediately clutched his chest, secretly lamenting his misfortune. He had originally thought he was only a little late, but he never expected to be so late!

Wang Cao stared at Xin Mulan with wide eyes and said helplessly, "Xin Mulan, I, the Heavenly Venerate, think you should just shut your mouth. Every time you open your mouth, there's never a single word that I find pleasant to hear..."

Xin Mulan mumbled in retort, "Hmph, why is your perspective so narrow...?"
