Chapter 2002 Action Of The Celestial Bloodline
Lin Mu's words made the Princess a bit unsettled at first, but he then assured her that there wasn't much of a threat.
"Besides, now that Meihua will have a Celestial master, there shouldn't be any issues in making Fluff-fluff an official tamed beast." Lin Mu stated.
"Of course!" Princess Feng Lan's worried immediately melted away upon hearing that.
~ang~
The fox tilted its head in confusion, not understanding what they were talking about.
The two continued to talk, while the two beasts flew alongside them until they finally arrived at the barrier.
~shua~
There, tens of formation masters were busy at work. "So this is the garden where Meihua was before." Lin Mu muttered and scanned the area with his immortal sense.
There were clear signs of destruction caused by the sudden intrusion of the Branch Horn Wolves as there were many plants and trees that had been uprooted or simply ruined. The ground also had their paw prints everywhere along with scratch marks and more. Lin Mu's attention finally went to the spot in the invisible barrier that had a rather large hole. It was about five meters tall and six meters wide. "No wonder they got in." Lin Mu said as he observed it closely.
He checked the formation layer that had the breach and soon realized that it had broken in a rather smooth manner.
"This is rather peculiar… the hole is quite 'natural'." Lin Mu spoke. "If it was forcefully broken, the layer would have been destabilized." He added.
"Indeed. This is what I thought too." Feng Lan replied. "The formation masters have been unable to figure out the reason as well." "Let me take a closer look…" Lin Mu said and closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again.
~SHUA~
His Spatial perception activated and he looked through the details of the formation. He saw the things that would stay hidden and observed the flow of Qi itself. The Princess stayed silent and didn't disturb Lin Mu, letting him do his work.
After watching it for a minute or so, Lin Mu narrowed his eyes. "Did you find something?" Princess Feng Lan asked.
"I did… and it is rather straightforward." Lin Mu replied.
"What's the cause?" The Princess questioned.
"The barrier wasn't actually broken. It was simply… rewritten." Lin Mu answered.
"Rewritten?" Feng Lan repeated in doubt. "How's that possible?" "Meihua is registered in the clan's arrays, right?" Lin Mu asked first.
"Of course she is." Feng Lan nodded.
"That's the reason why the barrier was 'rewritten' instead of being broken outright." Lin Mu replied, confusing the princess. "This seems like a mix of her bloodline's effect as well as her having authority over the barrier." "What? But she isn't a formation master to modify it." Feng Lan stated, having doubts.
"Of course. But she doesn't have to be. Due to the way your clan's barrier was made… the higher details with good modularity means it can be modified in smaller sections. Just like what Clan Head Guang San did earlier in the main hall, Meihua did something similar here.
Or either, it was her bloodline that did it. It was probably subconsciously done, but she probably willed the garden to be 'bigger' or something like that." Lin Mu explained the best he could.
"That… seems…" Feng Lan didn't know what to make of it.
"It is indeed unconventional and I don't understand it fully either. But I guess that is what makes a Celestial Bloodline so special." Lin Mu stated.
~Sigh~
"I guess so." Feng Lan shook her head, feeling a bit tired and relieved at the same time. "So what should we do now?" "Just fix it like you normally would. There are no other issues." Lin Mu answered.
"That's good." Princess Feng Lan smiled. "At least we don't have to be wary about our 'neighbors' now." She added.
"Who are those, exactly?" Lin Mu asked the question that had been in the back of his mind.
"Travelers of some kind. They arrived a few months ago and have been staying here since then." Princess Feng Lan replied. "They don't seem to belong to any particular organization or clan, either."
"Why are they here, though?" Lin Mu questioned, finding it strange.
"They said they're searching for resources and their next stop is the Evergreen Pillars Forest. We have indeed seen their people enter and exit the forest from time to time, so it seems like they're looking for resources inside." Princess Feng Lan answered.
"I see… Guess they're just some wandering cultivators." Lin Mu replied.
"Hopefully." Feng Lan nodded as they started to make their way back to the main hall.
"Have you told the Emperor about Meihua?" Lin Mu asked, knowing how big of a deal this was.
"Not yet… my husband said that it is best we wait until Celestial Ever Spring Mistress arrives. We'll act according to her guidance after that." Princess Feng Lan replied. "I know if I tell father now, he'll either summon us to the palace or directly head over himself." "Hmm… I don't think he would." Lin Mu said, knowing what kind of pressure the emperor was under these days. After all, the source of it all was ultimately Lin Mu. But Feng Lan got a different idea from Lin Mu's words.
"Baxing… of course." Feng Lan shook her head in disappointment. "I knew he was always discontent, but to go to that extent. I apologize for my younger brother's actions, Daoist Mu Lin." She said truthfully.
"It's all in the past." Lin Mu waved his hands. "I don't care about it. It's all been dealt with now." In the state that Feng Baxing was in now, there wasn't much one could ask for in terms of punishment now.
The man was a comatose cripple who didn't have any future left. Plus, the Dao Wind Empire had also lost face to the Temple. Lin Mu and Feng Lan soon returned to the Main hall, which soon got decked in elaborate decorations.
