Old Man Mu emerged from behind the shrubs. He had grown and in the dark night, looked more like a moving bamboo pole.
After looking at the figure for a while, Gu Shenwei realized that Old Man Mu was standing on the Blessed Child's shoulders, his legs clamped around the youth's head.
Old Man Mu did not weigh much and even youths would be able to handle his weight. However, the Blessed Child was visibly frightened and tried hard to keep his body from trembling, occasionally letting out a sob. With his arms at his sides, he dared not move a single muscle.
It was as though he was being possessed by a demon.
Old Man Mu was very pleased. He opened his arms as though he had wings, looking like a proud master showing off his residence to visitors, "Welcome, Dragon King! Everybody is here except for you!"
There was no sign of Shangguan Ru or Maid Lotus.
