1397 Docking
The Saintess looked at Lin Mu with a still gaze before letting out a breath.
“For that I’ll first need to know how exactly did you find them?” The Saintess questioned.
“I hatched them.” Lin Mu answered.
“You hatched them?” The Saintess raised a brow. “You mean to say you found an egg?”
“Not just that, I knew their parents too. It was a Fire Fang Snake and a Black Water Serpent.” Lin Mu answered.
“A Fire Fang Snake and a Black Water Serpent… it shouldn’t happen… can such a pairing even give rise to the Yin Yang Twin Serpents?” The Saintess muttered to herself.
“If you tell me more about the twins, maybe I’ll be able to explain more. I don’t know much about them either, other than the fact that they are of the Yin and Yang Element.” Lin Mu stated.
“Very well, since you know that, I can just tell you the rest.” The Saintess spoke before looking around. “Though it’ll be best if we do it somewhere else, once the ship is docked.”
Lin Mu saw the noise and the movement and knew that it wasn’t the right place for a conversation like this.
“You’re right, we should get off the ship first.” Lin Mu said before turning to find the vice captain in the distance. “I’ll just tell him, we’ll fly off. I don’t think they’ll mind.” He got the twins to return to his sleeve for now.
“Mmm… do that.” The Saintess said letting Lin Mu leave.
Lin Mu quickly spotted Zhu Hading and flew over to him.
“Zhu Hading, I think this is enough for me. I can go out on my own now. Thank you for your help.” Lin Mu said directly.
“Ah, Immortal Mu Lin! You are going to leave? This quick?” Zhu Hading replied.
“Yes, I think its best I leave on my journey. I’ve been delayed already, so I would like to head off at the earliest. I can just fly off from here now.” Lin Mu replied to the man.
“Mm… you will need to register at the port first though and also need to add which ship you came from.” Zhu Hading informed. “But I’ll make it a bit easier for you.” The man said before taking out a small wooden plate.
“You can use this to show the ship’s identity as well as that of our merchant group. It will allow you to leave in advance.” Zhu Hading handed the plate to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu glanced at the wooden plate that read ‘Long Leaves Merchant association.’
“Thank you for this,” Lin Mu expressed his gratitude before taking a leave.
The Saintess also followed after him, the others not noticing her at all. At her level, there was no need for others to even sense her presence.
Lin Mu’s departure was noticed by the noblewoman and her people though. All of them had come out of the cabin to see how the docking process was going and saw him flying off.
“He’s leaving already? How will he do that without registering?” The Guards wondered.
“He talked with the vice captain earlier, they probably talked something out.” The Guard named Feiyu said.
“Hmm… he must be in some hurry.” The servant girls said.
“Whatever it may be, we just need to do our jobs.” Feiyu said before turning to his fellow guards. “You two go and ensure that the cargo is safe. We have to deliver it safely or the young miss’s reputation will fall.”
“At once!” The guards replied before going to the deck below.
The noblewoman stared at Lin Mu who was flying farther and father away, a hint of curiosity on her face.
‘He left just as he arrived… swiftly and with little notice.’ She thought.
Lin Mu didn’t mind anyone else on the ship and simply flew off to find the registration office. It was relatively prominent and was thus easy for him to find.
‘That’s a lot of people for sure…’ Lin Mu saw several lines of people waiting to get registered.
It was a normal procedure and Lin Mu had seen it back in the Xiaofan world as well. Thus he didn’t mind going through a little paperwork.
“Once you’re done, just find a place where we can talk. I’ll appear there.” Lin Mu heard the saintess’s voice in his ears making him a little surprised.
‘How did she do that?’ Lin Mu wondered but soon figured it out. “So one can use wind like this too? I see… furthering the reach of your voice by directing the winds… smart.” He muttered.
Lin Mu felt like the more stayed with the Saintess the more he was getting to learn. And this wasn’t even intentional. It was merely a normal action and it was already helping him learn new concepts.
Lin Mu stood in the line for a bit and it was soon his turn.
‘At least they are rather efficient.’ Lin Mu thought to himself as he came to stand in front of the desk.
There were tens of similar desks lined up, with people working on them to register the travelers.
“Name, origin, destination and transportation details.” The officer at the desk said in a monotone voice
“Mu Lin, from Eight Kingdom Alliance, Destination Temple of the Four Guardians, and I arrived on the Long Leaves Merchant Association’s ship.” Lin Mu replied while handing over the wooden plate that he had been given.
The officer raised a brow at this though, finding it strange.
“As far as I know the Long Leaves Merchant Association does not operate between the Huiqing continent and the Eight Kingdom alliance. This identity plate also shows that their origin was from the Dao Wind Empire.” The officer questioned. “Care to explain why?”
“It wasn’t my original mode of transportation. It was actually a Teleportation array but I met an accident and was kicked out in the middle of the ocean.” Lin Mu said repeating his original excuse.
“Is that so?” the officer didn’t show any expression on his face simply writing down a few things in a register.
