137 Prying for Information (2/2)

Thinking of that, he put down an array around his room, making sure that it was visible from the outside so nobody would assume he was open to having a chat right now. Then, he checked his weapon and anything else he might need for the journey before he finally sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate. Anyway, there was still quite some time. He might as well make use of it.

At the same time, Ao Jing had returned to Yang Wu Huang and confessed his failure.

Yang Wu Huang gritted his teeth, not looking happy at all. This wasn't how it should have turned out. It was hard to say if Song Mu had done this on purpose or if he was really busy though. They first had to find out about that.

He turned to Di Huan Bo and gave a light smile. ”How about you go over there in a bit and try to see what he is doing? Maybe he will already have finished preparing things and will be open to another chat. We definitely need more information.”

Di Huan Bo nodded and went over a while later. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. He was met with the array on the ground that made it impossible for him to approach the door any further. He couldn't even knock and just calling out when the other person was obviously busy didn't seem to be in good taste. He cursed under his breath and then went back to meet with Yang Wu Huang and Ao Jing, relaying what he had seen to them.

Yang Wu Huang went into deep thought. ”Cultivating right now … It's hard to say if he's doing that on purpose so he won't have to deal with us or if this is actually in preparation for the journey.”

The other two exchanged a glance. ”Would he really do that? I mean he shouldn't have a reason to not meet us, should he?”

Ao Jing shook his head at that. ”He shouldn't unless … he has really made up with Mei Chao Bing. Then what could we do to find out?”

Yang Wu Huang narrowed his eyes and then got up, pacing up and down inside of the room. The plan that they had come up with relied heavily on knowing what Mei Chao Bing's group was doing. That was something that would be difficult to accomplish without someone's help.

Ao Jing finally cleared his throat, trying to attract his attention again. ”Actually … We don't just have Song Mu that we can use, right? What about that Kui Min? Since the Elders put her in our group, we might as well make use of her.”

Yang Wu Huang turned around to him and raised his brows. ”Ao Jing, that idea is pretty good. Why don't you go and tell her that Mei Chao Bing and the others haven't left yet? I'm sure she would like to go and talk with them for a while.”

Ao Jing nodded and got up with a smile, hurrying over to where Kui Min was staying. Anyway, they were a group now. It wouldn't be too strange if he went to give her some information, right? And as long as it didn't come from Yang Wu Huang, she might not even be suspicious.
