Chapter 2068: Chapter 2068: Near the Royal Mansion! Mu Jinyu’s Frustration! Wanting to Leave!
"Buzz Buzz!!"
A blaze of light flickered intensely, and then, the figures of Mu Jinyu and his party appeared in a similarly sized small building.
If not for noticing the change in the clerk’s appearance, Mu Jinyu would have thought they hadn’t moved at all.
"Let’s go, let’s go..."
Upon arriving here, Uncle Dong and the others didn’t forcefully push Mu Jinyu off the teleportation array with them because they’ve reached their destination.
Mu Jinyu had nowhere else to run.
Even if he intended to use the teleportation array to escape, he would have to pay with source stones first!
No matter the amount of source stones he had, their numbers were enough to capture him if he tried to flee.
So they confidently got down from the teleportation array.
"Hmm?"
Seeing them descend, even Wang Qingxue, Mu Jinyu was momentarily stunned.
As Wang Qingxue and the others alighted, they noticed Mu Jinyu hadn’t followed and felt puzzled.
Uncle Dong and the others frowned slightly, speculating if Mu Jinyu truly intended to seize a chance to escape?
With a bit of thought, Wang Qingxue suddenly smiled, understanding why Mu Jinyu hadn’t left.
She explained, "Jinyu, you can come down now. We’ve reached our destination; there’s no need to continue riding!"
Wang Qingxue recalled the first time she met Mu Jinyu.
They had ridden the Eastern Region’s teleportation arrays together, crossing through over twenty state domains before finally reaching West Sea State.
After all, Mu Jinyu hailed from the Eastern Region, and naturally, the teleportation arrays he rode were relatively inferior.
Unable to arrive at the destination in one go, requiring multiple rides through various teleportation arrays.
And she had just mentioned to Mu Jinyu that their last site on the coastal border was quite a distance from their intended destination, comparable to crossing two state domains.
Thus, Mu Jinyu, unfamiliar with the Central Domain’s teleportation arrays, assumed they needed at least two rides to reach the destination.
How could he have known that the Central Domain’s teleportation arrays didn’t work like that, even if the distance was dozens of state domains away?
Here, the Central Domain’s teleportation arrays could directly shift them to the destination in one go.
No repeated teleportation rides needed!
"Hmm? We are here? No need for another teleportation ride?"
Indeed, Wang Qingxue anticipated Mu Jinyu’s thoughts, leading him to ask in surprise after hearing her words.
"Yes, we’re here. The Central Domain’s teleportation arrays don’t require repeated transfers!" Wang Qingxue explained.
Upon hearing this, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Mu Jinyu’s eyes.
His dissatisfaction wasn’t directed at Wang Qingxue, but towards the Red Garment Tower.
The Red Garment Tower truly seemed despicable.
The Central Domain possesses superior teleportation technology.
Yet they don’t allow it available to the Eastern Region, opting instead for the lowest-quality arrays.
He had even considered the Red Garment Tower quite decent before.
At least it opened a convenient passage for the Human Race.
As long as one has sufficient source stones, travel to other places was much faster.
Little did he know, the Red Garment Tower looked down on the Eastern Region’s human race this much!
"Hmm!"
Despite his discontent towards the Red Garment Tower, Mu Jinyu said nothing, nor did he intend to make a scene.
His cultivation was only at the First Layer of the Life-and-Death Realm, while here in the Central Domain, one could easily find Nirvana Realm and Casting Platform Realm powerhouses everywhere.
If he dared to cause trouble, there was only one outcome: a guaranteed dead end!
So, Mu Jinyu had to endure and bide his time.
Hold back for now.
Once he obtains the Divine Essence, mends the flaws in his foundation, and advances rapidly in cultivation,
that’s when he planned to stir trouble in the Central Domain...
Uh, wait!
Better not get too arrogant.
After all, the Central Domain still had many Kings and Emperors.
If he acted too recklessly, he would provoke suppression from the Kings and Emperors!
So, he mustn’t cause excessive chaos.
Instead, the focus should be on subduing the Red Garment Tower.
With such thoughts,
Mu Jinyu calmly stepped down from the teleportation array platform.
Uncle Dong and Uncle Ding, who had been initially frowning while watching Mu Jinyu,
understood why Mu Jinyu had remained on the platform after overhearing the conversation between Wang Qingxue and Mu Jinyu.
A hint of contempt flashed in their eyes as they looked at Mu Jinyu.
What a bumpkin.
Bringing his Eastern Region knowledge to the Central Domain.
Thinking he still needed continuous teleportation rides here?
How pitiful and laughable...
The clerk at the Red Garment Tower found amusement in their conversation and glanced at Mu Jinyu a few more times.
Evidently, as a Red Garment Tower clerk, he had escorted many guests coming and going.
But encountering stowaways from other regions was relatively rare to him.
"Let’s go, let’s go!"
Noticing Mu Jinyu’s embarrassment, Wang Qingxue timely spoke up, urging everyone to leave.
Resolving Mu Jinyu’s awkward situation.
Soon, their group left the Red Garment Tower.
And walked onto the outside street.
On these streets, although there were still many foreign race figures, compared to the ancient city they were in earlier, there were noticeably fewer foreign races within immeasurable numbers of the Half-Human Tribe.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu asked Wang Qingxue, "Is this your home?"
"No, it isn’t!"
Wang Qingxue shook her head and explained, "My home is near this ancient city, a little further ahead we’ll arrive!"
"You should know my father’s status, right? How could the Red Garment Tower establish a branch within his territory?"
"So, we can only come to the closest ancient city to the Royal Mansion, and then head back!"
After listening to Wang Qingxue, Mu Jinyu understood and said, "So that’s how it is!"
Uncle Dong also laughed, saying, "But now that we’re here, you can rest assured. Although this isn’t our territory, we are now quite close to it, so even if formidable races came, they wouldn’t act recklessly. We don’t need to be as cautious and restrained!"
"Hmm!" Mu Jinyu nodded gently.
He recalled their behavior back at the ancient city they had just parted from, too cautious as they dared not draw attention.
But now, being so near to Wang Qingxue’s family’s location, even if these foreigners didn’t care much about them, knowing Wang Qingxue’s identity would still inspire some apprehension.
Making them more cautious in their actions.
"Let’s go, let’s leave the city!"
Uncle Ding eagerly urged.
He couldn’t wait to return to the Royal Mansion.
Mu Jinyu observed their expression changes, realizing they were closing in on their destination, and deduced they might reveal their true intentions soon.
Feeling an ominous foreboding in his heart, he spoke up, "Since it is much safer here, why don’t we part ways here..."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Wang Qingxue was taken aback, not expecting Mu Jinyu to not accompany them to her home at this point.
Meanwhile, Uncle Dong and Uncle Ding guessed that Mu Jinyu sensed their ill intentions and was attempting to leave?
But how could they allow Mu Jinyu to leave now?
Damn it, they just paid a hefty thousand jin of source stones for his passage, and he wants to flee now?
No way!
"Why in such a hurry to leave? We’ve made it to near the Royal Mansion; why not come and visit first!"
"Yeah, yeah, I’ve already informed the mistress; she’s sent someone to receive us, so you don’t have to rush off!"
"Exactly, I’ve heard you’re also the young lady’s savior. The mistress expressly instructed us to entertain you well, not allowing departure; otherwise, she’ll severely punish us!"
"Brother, please don’t make things difficult for us!"
Uncle Ding and Uncle Dong said to Mu Jinyu with a forced smile.
