Chapter 1822 Crown Princess" Request

Being alone, Lin Mu took a look at the bookshop finding it to be old.

Its exterior was rather weathered, and it reminded him of Jing Wei"s Emporium. Old memories reappeared in Lin Mu"s mind, making him reminisce about them for a bit as he walked in.

There didn"t seem to be a shopkeep present inside the shop though. The inside was a lot better than the outside even if the furniture looked to be older.

After all, the furniture was made from immortal wood, that would be priceless in a mortal world like the Xiaofan world.

Here it was the basic wood to make things with and people didn"t care much about it.

Still, the books on the shelves were even more valuable with most being either written by various immortals as their experiences or having information about various items.

Lin Mu lightly scanned the store with his Immortal sense and discovered that most books were informative there. There were no cultivation techniques or Qi skills kept here.

At least not the obvious ones.

Lin Mu picked up on a few books that were travelogues on the outside, but actually contained incomplete Qi skills and more inside of them. Though figuring them out wasn"t easy and one needed to read the entire book and then comprehend them.

They were more like a clue than actual skills.

Lin Mu casually read a few when he heard a voice.

"Like anything?" Lin Mu looked at the counter where the shopkeeper would sit and saw a familiar person there.

"Crown prince," Lin Mu greeted the man with cupped hands.

The man had appeared out of nowhere and Lin Mu hadn"t sensed him either. And this was despite the fact that he had his Immortal sense extended in the area. There were no Spatial Fluctuations either, thus Lin Mu knew the man hadn"t teleported there at least.

"You were rather early." Crown Prince spoke while tapping on the counter. "Guess that"s a good trait to have." He said before walking out from the side.

"How could I be anything but early, since it was you calling?" Lin Mu replied, putting down the book.

"You can keep it if you want." The Crown prince said, looking towards the book.

"This? Don"t I need to pay?" Lin Mu asked.

"It"s fine. We own this shop anyways." The Crown Prince waved his hand.

"Ah… Royal property." Lin Mu now understood why the man had called him here.

"Most of it is out property… we just rent it out." The Crown Prince replied. "So you can take what you want here."

"I won"t be polite then." Lin Mu wasn"t one to give up on an offer like this and quickly gathered the books that he found interesting.

There were multiple books talking about various resources, plants, and best of all, different worlds.

Thus, Lin Mu knew they would all come in handy for him eventually. He liked to learn anyway, thus it was a treat for him.

Having stored the books away, Lin Mu looked at the Crown Prince before finally asking, "So why is it that you called me here?"

"Well, it isn"t me that wanted to meet you in particular." The Crown Prince replied.

"Oh? Then who?" Lin Mu was surprised.

"I did." Lin Mu heard another presence appearing behind him. "Crown Princess Shang…" he was once again surprised as to how she also managed to appear like this.

"They"re definitely using a tool." Lin Mu thought to himself. "Similar to Dugu Shanhe."

It also made Lin Mu think about the man"s spatial storage tool. Lin Mu desired to take it with him, but knew it wasn"t possible.

After all, if he took it in front of so many people it would be concerning. Plus it was a custom to return the remains of those that had died in the tournament back to the people that were related to them.

But in the case of Dugu Shanhe, it was even more dangerous as he was under investigation due to practicing the Six Faiths Soul Mystic Eye.

It was obvious that clues to that would be in his Spatial Storage tools, thus the temple had custody of all that. There was no way Lin Mu would be able to get his hands on them easily.

"You are up against Yao Changying tomorrow." Crown Princess Shang said in a tone tinged with glee.

"I am indeed. We did as you told and used the brackets… though we could only do it twice." Lin Mu replied.

"That is more than I had thought." Crown Princess Shang said before chuckling. "Besides you"ll be going against her too. So that will count as three." She added.

"These bracelets… how much will they weaken her though?" Lin Mu finally asked.

It had been bothering him for a while, and he hadn"t been able to see any obvious change on Yao Changying at least.

"If you"ve used it three times… she"ll be weakened by at least 50%." Crown Princess Shang answered. "Though adding your companion slap, the insult being to injury should disturb her mentally to perhaps." She said, while laughing a little.

It was clear that she was amazed and pleased by Lu Xu"s act too.

"Hmm, 50% should be quite good then." Lin Mu replied. "Considering the fact that the Temple thinks I can match up with her in strength."

"Indeed. You"ve shocked quite a lot of people." Crown Prince Feng joined in. "Even in the Royal Court, they"ve mentioned you."

"Oh? I hope it was in a positive aspect." Lin Mu inquired while raising his brow.

"Of course. They were pleased that you removed a problematic character like Dugu Shanhe." The Crown Prince Feng said before waving his finger in the air. "Among those that Dugu Shanhe defeated, there were quite a few n.o.bles too."

A few names appeared in the air that Lin Mu recognized.

"These n.o.bles at least have a positive image of you." Crown Prince stated.

"I see, that"s good to hear." Lin Mu replied before turning to the princess. "Was there anything particular you wished to talk?"

"Yes… in your fight against Yao Changying. Can you just… Kill her?"
