"Brother Qing Feng, how is your progress in refining the inheritance of the Deathless Celestial Emperor?" Zhuge Yun asked directly after three rounds of wine.
The Holy Land of Divine Armament was interested in the inheritance of the Deathless Celestial Emperor. Both Zhuge Yun and the Holy Land of Divine Armament had shown interest in the inheritance of the Deathless Celestial Emperor more than once. The reason why Zhuge Yun treated Li Mu differently was not only because of Li Mu's relationship with the Taoist Palace and the Hidden Sword Sea, but also because Li Mu's attendant had obtained the Deathless Celestial Court.
Zhuge Yun was a gentleman, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly mentioned his interest.
Li Mu didn't hide it and said directly, "I've refined the seventh palace, but I don't know what to do with the other palaces."
Zhuge Yun was very surprised and said, "So there are other palaces after the sixth palace, the Deathless Celestial Gate. That's surprising. I have a favor to ask."
Li Mu said, "Brother, please say it."
Zhuge Yun said, "Our Holy Land of Divine Armament obtained a batch of Extraterrestrial Divine Metal sixty years ago, which can be used to forge sacred weapons. But because we don't have matching tools, we can't completely purify it. The Fire Pool and Forging Hall in the Deathless Celestial Court can do that, so I want to ask you to help me forge this batch of Extraterrestrial Divine Metal. If you succeed, I'm willing to give you 30% of it."
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I can agree on behalf of Qing Feng. Brother, you're too polite. It's just forging, how can I dare to give you 30%? It's already a blessing that I can get the right materials to practice, so I can't mention the matter of sharing again. Brother, please don't mention it again, lest we become estranged."
Zhuge Yun was slightly stunned and looked at Li Mu, "Okay, if that's the case, thank you, brother. I owe you a favor."
Li Mu said, "Brother, you've already helped me a lot in the Ziwei Star Area and the Military Ministry. You don't have to be so polite. Let me propose a toast to you, please!"
"Haha, please." Zhuge Yun was full of smiles.
This matter was entrusted to him by the seniors of the Hundred Refinements Holy Land, which was why the Gathering Virtuous Pavilion's wine party was held today.
Zhuge Yun was a gentleman, but he also felt that Li Mu was being too direct. Since it involved the inheritance of the Deathless Celestial Emperor, it was even more inappropriate for him to ask for it. Hence, he set up a banquet to entertain Li Mu. When he asked for Li Mu's help, he felt a little embarrassed. But to his surprise, Li Mu not only agreed readily, but also did not ask for a share. What's more, it made others feel that Qing Feng had taken advantage of him. In this way, Zhuge Yun's reputation and status in the Holy Land of Divine Armament Hundred Refining was more than enough. Instantly, he felt that Li Mu really regarded him as a friend.
The matter they wanted to discuss was settled smoothly, and both the host and the guest were happy.
Meanwhile.
The ten people in the outer room were also having a great time chatting with each other.
The five people under Zhuge Yun's command were all his trusted subordinates. Seeing that their master treated Li Mu so well, in front of Li Shang and other members of the Mingye Department, they also restrained their usual arrogance and were extremely polite.
And the members of the Mingye Department were used to being ridiculed and treated with disdain. Today, not only did they get to enter the Gathering Virtuous Pavilion, but they were also treated so warmly. So, they were also pleasantly surprised and even more polite.
While they were talking, a waiter came up to add more food and wine.
"Everyone, eat and drink well. This is your Drunken Immortal Brew. Shopkeeper Huang has personally gifted us a three-hundred-year-old Smile of the Immortal. Please kindly accept it. If there's anything else you need, please feel free to tell me …" The waiter said with a smile.
Li Shang casually said, "Thank you, little brother. Eh?"
A trace of surprise appeared on his face.
The waiter looked like a young man in his twenties. He had a fair and clean face, firm eyes, and sharp facial lines. Li Shang vaguely felt that he was a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
"Waiter, what's your name?" Li Shang asked.
The waiter was stunned. He looked a little hesitant, but still said, "My surname is Yun."
Li Shang's face suddenly changed.
…
…
Li Mu and Zhuge Yun were chatting happily.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Mu was about to take his leave. All of a sudden, there was a hubbub from outside, mixed with the sound of someone begging for mercy. Then, there was another bang, as if something heavy had hit the wall of the private room.
Zhuge Yun's eyes flashed a trace of haze. He got up and pushed the door open. He looked outside and said, "What happened?"
Li Mu also got up and went outside.
He saw Li Shang and five other people from the Mingye Department were protecting a young man dressed like a waiter. They were confronting a group of soldiers dressed in brocade clothes. The waiter's face was full of blood. There was a thumb sized wound on his forehead. The skin was torn and one of his arms was hanging limply. It seemed that the bones were broken.
"Your Excellency, it's the people from the Thunder and Fire Department. They injured this waiter. Your Excellency Li Shang seems to know this waiter. They had a conflict." Dong Da, Zhuge Yun's personal attendant, hurried over and whispered.
People from the Thunder and Fire Department?
Zhuge Yun slightly frowned.
The Thunder Fire Department was a department controlled by the Thunder Path Ancestral Mountain, one of the Ten Great Holy Lands. It was mainly responsible for supervising the manufacture of explosives, firearms, and artillery shells for the military. It could be considered a lucrative job, and the various military regions had always flattered and flattered the people of the Thunder Fire Department. This caused the people of the Thunder Fire Department to be arrogant, arrogant, and condescending. In particular, the person in charge of the Thunder Fire Department was one of the nine successors of the Thunder Ancestor of the Thunder Path Ancestral Mountain. He was extremely protective of his people and had a bad temper.
What worried Zhuge Yun even more was that Li Mu had never been on good terms with the Thunder Path Ancestral Mountain. In the Ziwei Star Zone, Li Mu's mysterious and terrifying master had killed a Heavenly Master powerhouse from the Thunder Path Ancestral Mountain.
This was really the case of 'enemies will not meet unless they are enemies'.
"Hahaha, the Mingye Department? It's just a group of rats who have no regard for human life. It has been stopped for a hundred years. Even a rat can still enter the Virtuous Gathering Pavilion. Haha, what a country bumpkin. How dare they meddle in our business. " There were more than ten people from the Thunder and Fire Department at the door. The leader had a white face, a hooked nose, triangular eyes, thin figure, and squinted eyes. At first glance, one could tell that he was a vicious person. He laughed loudly.
"Haha, that's right. A group of rats from the Mingye Department dare to protect people here?"
"Hand over the waiter who offended our Commander Xing."
"Haha, a few country bumpkins. How dare you act like a big boss here? You should take a look at yourself. You overestimate yourself. Hahahaha!"
The people from the Thunder and Fire Department directly rushed outside and blocked Li Shang and the others. They were very arrogant.
Li Mu suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Damn it. They are making trouble."
"What's going on?" He looked at Li Shang.
Li Shang hurried over and said, "Your Honor, it's them. They humiliated Brother Yun on purpose. We couldn't stand it, so we took action …" The one who was hit against the wall was one of the four Commanders of the Mingye Department. He was also injured.
"Brother Yun?" Li Mu was confused.
Li Shang came over and whispered, "His name is Yun Shuangyan. He is the waiter. I didn't know until today that he is the descendant of the tenth head of the department, Lord Yun Zhongyue. He is now serving tea in the Virtuous Gathering Pavilion."
Li Mu was speechless when he heard that.
What did he do before?
He was the descendant of the head of the Mingye Department. How could he not know that he was in such a situation?
Could there be anything more humiliating than this?
"Haha, hand him over. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude. "
"And the one who just attacked me …" Commander Xing of the Thunder and Fire Clan had already seen Li Mu, but he didn't take him seriously at all. He deliberately sneered and pointed at the junior commander of the Bright Night Clan who had just been sent flying and said, "He, he actually dared to fight back and attack me. He offended his superior. Call him out too. Otherwise, hehe, don't blame me for being rude."
"You … I didn't fight back at all." The injured Commander of the Mingye Department said angrily.
Li Mu's face darkened. He walked over and shouted, "Did you or didn't you?"
The Commander was startled and said, "Your Honor, I really didn't fight back. It was them. " The Mingye Department had been used to swallowing insults. Especially in such a place, they were afraid of bringing trouble to the new head of the department. Therefore, they just held their noses and endured it.
"Bastard." Li Mu cursed.
The junior commander's face fell, and his face filled with humiliation. He looked at Li Mu and slowly lowered his head.
The other three Commanders of the Mingye Department were surprised at first, but then they looked disappointed.
Li Shang was also very surprised.
He had thought that Li Mu would at least say a few words to defend them. But he didn't expect that Li Mu would directly scold them. He was completely different from the Master Li in the Ziwei Star Zone.
Did he disregard the little people who worked hard under him for the sake of his position after he came to the Military Department and took power? If that was the case, then … the revival of the Mingye Department was just a dream.
Zhuge Yunlai's followers couldn't help but look down on Li Mu when they heard those words. What kind of future could a superior who didn't dare to back up his subordinates and speak up for his subordinates have? "Our Honor thought so highly of Li Mu. But now it seems that he was wrong."
The people of the Thunder and Fire Department also burst into laughter when they heard the conversation.
The white-faced and beardless leader, the sinister Commander Xing, revealed a mocking and disdainful smile.
But Li Mu said directly, "Why didn't you do it?"
"Ah?" The junior commander, whose face was filled with humiliation, suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Mu with incomparable shock.
Li Shang and the other three also trembled.
Li Mu pointed at the people of the Thunder and Fire Department and said to Li Shang and the others in a disappointed tone, "How dare these pieces of trash ride on the head of the Mingye Department? They didn't fight back when they were beaten by these bastards. How can they be my soldiers? They really disgraced me. I can't f * cking lead this kind of cowardly soldier. "
His voice was agitated.
The Commander, Li Shang, and the five subordinates of Zhuge Yunlai all looked at Li Mu in astonishment.
No one expected that Li Mu just taught his subordinates a lesson for this reason.
Only Zhuge Yunlai seemed to have thought of it. He was smiling.
Who was Li Mu? He even dared to fight the Heavenly Master from the Thunder Ancestor Mountain. How could he take a Commander of the Thunder and Fire Department seriously? In the battle in the sky outside Earth, Li Mu's master had killed five Heavenly Masters from the Thunder Ancestral Mountain in one breath.
Opposite.
The smile on Commander Xing's face froze, and his expression darkened. He stared at Li Mu and said, "What did you say? Little thing, who are you? "
