Wu Hei had knew his mother well enough and what her tactics were. All she had done now were plain old acts that she would do all the time. She was no simple lady and was not averse to schemes either. Being the wife of an aristocrat like Wu Xun was no easy thing.

Not to mention She herself was an aristocrat before she even married Wu Xun. If Wu Hei showed a reaction, she would only do more things to make it worse. Such was the way she teased him or rather punished him.

"Are you done, mother?" Wu Hei calmly asked.

~Sigh~

"What a son I have, doesn't even have time for his mother…" The madam said, shaking her head.

"Brother Mu Lin meet my mother, madam Zhen Sui." Wu Hei introduced.

Lin Wu clasped his hands in a formal greeting again and slightly bowed his head. This was the first time he was hearing the full name of the mayor's wife. He knew that her first name was Sui and that some people called her madam Sui.

"So mother what did you want from me?" Wu Hei questioned after they all had taken a seat.

The old Steward meanwhile went to get some refreshments for them and did not dare to listen in anymore. 

"Well, I need you to take care of the marital tournament to be precise. This was supposed to be done by your father, but now that he's unavailable you are the only one who can do it. I'll be handling the other tournaments but the Martial tournament is the prime jewel of the ceremonies. It needs to be perfect." Zhen Sui answered.

"What about Elder brother? Can't he do it?" Wu Hei asked with reluctance.

"You think he would really do it? All that happens in that thick skull of his is food, women, and fighting. He has no idea how to do things like this… I still don't know how he leads his battalion with his management skills." Zhen Sui replied.

Wu Hei nodded his head in agreement. He knew that his brother was rather ill suited to tasks such as this. But this didn't mean that he was willing to take the task of organizing the competition. This would mean that he would have to talk with other aristocrats and important people, which was a thing that he usually disliked.

He would much rather go back to his mansion and continue his research. But then after thinking for a while, he realized that this could actually work in his favor. It would make it easier for them to investigate the Gu Legion along with him being able to fulfill the challenge that Wu Xun had given him.

"Alright mother, I accept." Wu Hei stated.

~clap~

"Ah! That's good, finally you came to your sense and decided to become an obedient son." Zhen Sui teased again.

Wu Hei let out another sigh before shaking his head helplessly. Zhen Sui chuckled before looking at Lin Mu, who was calmly sitting there and looking around.

"Lord Mu Lin, I wonder how you met my son?" Zhen Sui curiously asked.

She knew that her son did not like to make many friends and even if he had met a lot of people during his journey, there weren't that could be said to be his friends. Perhaps only some of his subordinates could be considered to be his 'Friends'.

Lin Mu turned his neck upon hearing her speak and raised his brows.

"I met brother Mu Lin in the Fenlong kingdom when I visited the Mu clan there. He's one of the Young masters of the clan and seldom goes out in public." Wu Hei quickly answered.

"Oh, I see. Well then, you must be quite an intellectual for my son to find you worthy to be his friend. But what made you come here all the way to Wu Lim city? I mean, if my knowledge is correct then the Fenlong Kingdom is a few thousand kilometers away from the border of the Shuang Qian kingdom." Zhen Sui questioned.

Wu Hei wanted to answer again, but Lin Mu decided to interrupt. He knew that if Wu Hei continued answering everything for him, Zhen Sui might find it suspicious. Besides, he had the perfect answer for Zhen Sui that would work and was also legitimate.

"Oh madam, I'll be representing Brother Hei in the tournament." Lin Mu said with a smile.

This came as a rather big surprise to Zhen Sui as she had not expected this from Lin Mu. Looking at him, she could tell that he was rather young even if he seemed to look older. She had seen enough people to get a good estimate just from looking at them.

She had guessed that he would at least be twenty years old. But considering he came from a rather small kingdom like Fenlong kingdom, she reckoned that he wouldn't be that strong. From what she knew, even a few core condensation realm cultivators were going to participate in the tournament.

"Representing? Lord Mu Lin, you mean you'll be fighting?" Zhen Sui asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I will…" Lin Mu confirmed with a nod.

Zhen Sui still seemed unconvinced and decided to ask a few more things.

"Pardon my rudeness, Lord Mu Lin, but… how old are you?" Zhen Sui questioned.

"I'm sixteen." Lin Mu answered simply.

'Sixteen! How the hell is this boy sixteen? His cultivation must be even less than I thought then, but then why would Hei chose him?' Zhen Sui thought.

Wu Hei could see the faint changes in his mother's expression and guessed what she was thinking.

"Don't misunderstand Brother Mu Lin's age, mother. Despite his age, he is rather accomplished and talented." Wu Hei said.

"But…" Zhen Sui was about to speak again but was interrupted.

"Brother Mu Lin, would you care to demonstrate?" Wu Hei asked.

Wu Hei knew that the best way to shut up his mother was to shock her into submission. He knew about Lin Mu's skills and the things that he had done. Fighting against core condensation realm cultivators and beasts while being in the qi refining realm already made him extremely talented if he considered the circle of aristocrats.

While there would be others like him in the sects, they weren't really comparable. 

Lin Mu was a bit surprised that Wu Hei asked this of him and was hesitant.

"Lord Hei, are you sure?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Yes, I'm sure. I believe mother would be fine with it too, wouldn't you mother?" Wu Hei said.

"Yes, that would be fine. I don't mind, so do your best." Zhen Sui assured.

Now she was even more interested in knowing the capabilities of this boy in front of her. 

'Even if he's talented, it doesn't seem like he's in the core condensation realm, so what's the most he can do.' Zhen Sui thought.

"Alright then if both of you are fine with it." Lin Mu replied.

He thought for a bit and wondered what would be the best way to do this. He didn't want to go overboard and expose himself. There were still a lot of secrets that even Wu Hei didn't know and there was no way he wanted Zhen Sui to know them too.

Lin Mu thought of the things that Senior Xukong had said he could do in the tournament. He knew that he would be exposing a part of his capabilities in the tournament in front of hundreds of people and thus thought that it would be best to only show that part.

Lin Mu stood up and walked a bit behind the sofa. The room was sufficiently wide, thus it wasn't much of a problem for him, and even the roof was quite tall. Wu Hei looked on with a smile on his face, while Zhen Sui had an interested expression on her face.

Both of them were relaxed at first but then soon they became alert. 

Lin Mu flicked his hand and the short sword appeared in front of him. It was floating in the air which showed to Zhen Sui that he was proficient in Spirit sense and even had a mid grade spirit sword at the very least.

But then he extended his hand and grasped the short sword firmly in his hands. As soon as he held it though, his entire demeanor changed. Lin Mu had recently had good progress in the Thousand armament blade scripture and had learned something new.

'What was it that Old man Jing did back then… that feeling… that intent… that pressure…' Lin Mu recalled.

He focused on grasping that feeling and tried to emulate it. During this entire time his eyes were closed and not a hint of disturbance could be seen on his face. 

It was as if a long time had passed for him, but in reality, mere seconds had elapsed. 

But just from this, the pair of mother and son were shocked.

"What in the name of heavens…"
