Chapter 89: Chapter 89: This was left to me by an elder couple.

Mu Xiao had lived in the Abyss for several years, yet she was still unable to clearly see where her cabin was located.

She could only guide Lu Chen on the path because she had grown familiar with the place.

As soon as they entered the valley, she didn’t have time to tell Lu Chen where to go, but Lu Chen walked over, which clearly showed that he had a certain night vision ability.

But since entering the Abyss, Lu Chen had shown no such capabilities, which was why Mu Xiao had said such a thing.

For Lu Chen, this was like a bolt from the blue!

He couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation.

Fortunately, what Mu Xiao said next gave Lu Chen a moment of relief!

"Chen Lu, everyone has their own cards to play; although I really want to know, I can’t!"

Lu Chen couldn’t help but say, "Sister Mu, you..."

As he spoke, he didn’t know what to say.

Mu Xiao smiled and said, "According to my nature, I would like to know. But remembering the one who betrayed me before, I think I’m easily deceived. If it were leaked, it would be harmful to you."

Lu Chen fell silent, now understanding why Mu Xiao had pointed out the fact that he could see.

After carrying Mu Xiao back into her cabin and gently placing her on the bed, he said softly, "Sister Mu, my name is Lu Chen, not Chen Lu."

"Lu...Lu Chen?"

In the dark, Mu Xiao’s eyes suddenly widened. Though she couldn’t see Lu Chen’s face clearly, her astonished reaction was fully seen by Lu Chen!

"Sister Mu, have you... heard of my name before?"

Mu Xiao said with a bitter smile, "How could I not have heard? If you are Lu Chen from Yuzhou City, you should be careful indeed!"

"Polar Treasure Meeting... are they looking for me?"

Lu Chen’s face changed, knowing it wouldn’t be about Zhu Dazhuang.

And Mu Xiao had also mentioned Yuzhou City. Without a doubt, the Polar Treasure Meeting must have guessed that whether it was Xu Yueru or the Martial Artists who died in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, it was all his doing!

Such power sometimes doesn’t need concrete evidence, just a conjecture, and they will strike to kill!

It seems that I must improve my strength as soon as possible!

"However, you don’t need to worry too much," Mu Xiao spoke up again, "Previously, you told the people from Heavenly Book Academy that you were Chen Lu, and even told me your name was Chen Lu. As far as I know, the people from Polar Treasure Meeting don’t yet know that you are in Heavenly Book Academy. As long as you don’t show your face too often, the Polar Treasure Meeting will not be able to find you for a while. Once some time has passed and the commotion dies down, you will be safe."

Lu Chen said with a wry smile, "Sister Mu, how do you know all this?"

Mu Xiao laughed, "Although I have always lived in the Abyss, I do go out occasionally! Previously, I unintentionally learned about your situation, which involved the third and fourth of the Xu Family. The relationship between the Xu Family and the Polar Treasure Meeting is quite complex; you just need to be very cautious in everything."

"Sister Mu, I’ll remember," Lu Chen said.

Lu Chen also had his own thoughts. Mu Xiao was currently incapacitated, and if she wanted to harm him, she likely wouldn’t have told him so much.

"Good that you remember," Mu Xiao nodded and said, "I still have some medicines here. You help me apply them. Although they won’t heal my injuries, they’ll prevent my legs from getting worse. You’ll have plenty of time to encounter that Lin family boy again!"

Lu Chen nodded. In the Abyss, where day and night were indistinguishable, he didn’t need to worry about the time to hunt demonic beasts to train his spear techniques; he’d better settle Mu Xiao first.

After being busy for a long time, Lu Chen had managed everything and also learned a lot of information from Mu Xiao.

Including the origins of that man!

The man was originally a Martial Artist from a family who had fled into the Abyss because of Heavenly Book Academy. The two shared a common enemy and due to Mu Xiao’s personality, they hadn’t truly seen through each other.

This had almost cost Lu Chen his life, so Mu Xiao felt guilty and had taken him to her hidden abode.

Lu Chen had also gained much, obtaining a more detailed map of the Abyss. According to Mu Xiao, this would come in extremely handy half a year later when the Abyssal Prohibition weakened.

"Sister Mu," Lu Chen said, his voice tinged with excitement, "then I will go out and have a look now and come back in a few hours!"

Mu Xiao laughed, "This Abyss is just right for you. Others need illumination, but you don’t, and even if you encounter danger, you can discover others first!"

Without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, Mu Xiao again said, "You go without worry. This valley is very safe; it was left to me by a couple who were my seniors!"

"A couple of seniors?"

Lu Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and the image of his parents immediately flashed through his mind.
