Lin Mu's companions had heard about the events of the Xiaofan World before. They knew the general outline. A great conflict. A powerful enemy that had invaded his world. A struggle that had shaped Lin Mu into who he was.
But hearing it now…
From someone who had been there…
It felt different.
More real.
More tangible.
"No wonder," Daoist Chu said slowly. "You handled things so well in the Rust Sky World and the Silent Lotus World."
He looked at Lin Mu with newfound understanding.
"You already had experience in war," he continued. "And in managing alliances."
Jing Wei nodded firmly.
"Of course he did," he said.
Lin Mu gave a small, somewhat embarrassed smile.
"I just did what needed to be done," he said.
But he did not deny it.
There was no need.
After a brief pause, Lin Mu's expression shifted.
The excitement returned.
There was something he had wanted to ask from the very beginning.
"Jing Wei," he said.
The man looked at him.
"How did you end up here?"
