Zhang Xu glanced at Qu Zi.
The latter's expression became more and more sorrowful, but the look in his eyes was very determined.
"Li Mu is not bad."
Qu Zi said slowly.
These four words were enunciated one by one, as if they were squeezed out from a crack in a stone.
Inexplicably, there was a calming power in them.
Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter.
He started his cultivation with cursive calligraphy, and was the most unrestrained.
In his early years, he was an extremely conceited person, and he believed in his own intuition. He could be said to be disdainful towards scheming and scheming. However, in order to manage the overall situation of the ascenders' camp, it was unavoidable for him to be immersed in all the details. As time passed, some of his temperament had been worn away.
On the other hand, Qu Zi, as everyone knew, was a person who had experienced great hardship. He was very strong-willed, and was very decisive.
If you couldn't make a decision, you could ask Qu Zi.
This was a saying that many of the 36 Pillar Gods believed in.
Today, when Qu Yuan said 'Li Mu is not bad', it was like a bolt of lightning that dispelled the haze in Zhang Xu's heart.
Li Bai, who was at the side, was also slightly stunned. He immediately put down the wine pot in his hand, and laughed out loud without saying a word.
The expressions of the Red Emperor and the Song Emperor changed slightly.
They were very meticulous, and from the expressions of Li Bai and the other two, they immediately understood the choice of the three.
The Red Emperor was furious.
These ascendants were really letting their emotions affect their decisions.
Wasn't it ridiculous for them to make such a big decision based on their personal feelings?
The divination skill of the Star Observing House was unparalleled in the world, and it could be said to be accurate.
For this divination, the Star Emperor and the Star Emperor, the two of the Six Sovereigns and Six Emperors, paid a huge price.
They finally came to a conclusion, and came to warn the ascendants out of goodwill, to avoid making a huge mistake.
Who knew that the three of them would have such a reaction?
Summer insects cannot talk about ice.
For an illusory Fourth Peerless Master, they were willing to gamble with the overall situation of the Middle Three Heavens.
It was really difficult to save a person who was seeking death.
"The three of you, this matter …"
The Red Emperor wanted to say something.
Emperor Song waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for him to continue speaking.
He was worried that the Scarlet Emperor was impatient and hot-tempered. He was afraid that if he said something harsh in a moment of anger, it would backfire on him.
"The three of you, I can only express my regret for your decision. However, this matter is not something that the three of you can decide. The Heavenly Dao Alliance will continue to stand by its position. When the time comes, we will discuss this matter with the other ascender camp's Pillar Gods." Song Emperor took a deep breath before speaking in a frank manner, "That is because this matter does not only concern the ascender camp, it also concerns our Heavenly Dao Alliance. This is our stance, and I hope that you can understand."
His words were very straightforward.
He was also very calm.
Li Bai and the other two naturally had no objection.
"Before the two factions make a decision, I hope the three of you don't alert them. This is the most basic respect for allies. What do the three of you think?"
Song Emperor added.
Li Bai and the other two looked at each other and said, "Sure."
Of course, there was nothing wrong with that.
Firstly, as Emperor Song had said, it was out of respect for their ally, the Heavenly Law Alliance.
Secondly, it was out of trust for their comrades.
The main reason why the ascender camp could struggle and survive in the Middle Three Heavens until now was because of their unity.
It was not just the ordinary ascender camp that was united.
The 36 Pillar Gods, as the core force that supported the ascender camp for a long period of time in the dark, were also extremely united.
They had never fought for power or plotted against each other.
At most, it was because of differences in ideology, but it was controlled within the scope of internal conflicts.
Li Bai and the other two were confident that they could convince the others to accept Li Mu.
"Alright."
Song Emperor cupped his hands and said, "Then, today's matter shall end here. I hope that you won't leak what we have discussed."
The last sentence was, of course, for Sun Fei to hear.
Li Bai and the other two had already promised to keep it a secret.
However, Sun Fei's attitude gave Song Emperor the biggest headache.
If this clown didn't play by the rules and leaked the news to Sun Fei, all the previous efforts would be wasted.
Therefore, when Song Emperor spoke, he bowed to Sun Fei solemnly.
Sun Fei was still lying on the recliner like a corpse. He casually raised his right hand as if he was driving away a fly.
Song Emperor was relieved seeing this, before he turned around and left with the Scarlet Emperor.
In the hall, the atmosphere was still calm, but there was a little more vitality, not as depressing as before.
For Li Bai and the other two, once they made a decision, they had no regrets.
The three of them had a clear mind, and the atmosphere became cheerful.
A series of snoring sounds came.
Sun Fei, who was lying on the recliner, seemed to have really fallen asleep this time.
The corner of his mouth was slightly raised.
That day, the Red Emperor led his troops and left Ningping City in a hurry.
As for Emperor Song, he stayed behind.
In the evening, when Sun Fei came to drink with Li Mu, he brought Li Bai and the other two with him.
Qu Zi didn't drink. He just looked at Li Mu quietly, like a loving father looking at his son. The wrinkles and gullies on his face seemed to have been smoothed out.
Li Bai and Zhang Xu were both famous for being bold and unrestrained. After drinking a few jars of fairy wine, they became more and more unrestrained. Li Bai danced with the sword and wrote poems, and Zhang Xu waved the brush. They complemented each other. (The author really can't write a poem of Li Bai's level, and he can't let Li Bai recite old poems. Let's pretend that this immortal poet has a new work.)
Sun Fei didn't care about anything else. He just kept drinking with Li Mu.
This guy made his own wine. No one knew what he added to it, but the wine was so strong.
Soon, one peerless master, two immortals, and Li Mu, a quasi-peerless master, were drunk.
Qu Zi didn't touch a drop of wine. He sat in the pavilion.
He saw Li Bai, Li Mu, Zhang Xu, and Sun Fei all lying on the stones, snoring thunderously. He didn't intend to send the four back to their rooms. He just sat on the stone chairs in the pavilion and watched them quietly.
The moonlight was cold, like silver.
Qu Zi sat quietly. No one knew when, but a smile appeared on his face. It was very gentle and calm. In the night, under the moonlight, his thin face seemed to be several years younger.
The night passed quickly.
The next day, after Li Bai and Zhang Xu sobered up, they said goodbye to Li Mu and left Ningping City.
Qu Zi stayed behind.
Li and Zhang wanted to go to the Ascender Camp's headquarters to pass on the details of this matter to the rest of the Thirty-six Pillar Gods. It was better than letting the Heaven Dao Alliance's Scarlet Thearch and company do it. At the same time, they wanted to obtain more support.
Qu Zi was a man of few words, so he stayed in Ningping City.
After Sun Fei sobered up, he disappeared in a flash. No one knew where he went.
Thus, Li Mu's life in Ningping City became quiet.
He met his parents every day and had dinner. Then, he cultivated in his small yard to improve his strength.
Several times, Li Mu wanted to ask Sun Fei if there was any way to restore Hua Xiangrong's memory. But he didn't have a good chance. Besides, Sun Fei didn't look reliable, so Li Mu didn't have the mood to ask.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, at night.
Li Mu was cultivating in the small yard. Suddenly, he sensed something and opened his eyes.
In the yard, under the osmanthus tree, a beautiful woman in white stood against the screen. Her face was beautiful and unparalleled. Who else could it be but Hua Xiangrong?
Li Mu was delighted, but then he was shocked.
"Why are you here?"
He stood up.
This city was guarded by Qu Zi and Sun Fei.
Hua Xiangrong sneaked into the city. Once she was discovered, Sun Fei, one of the three peerless masters, was extremely difficult to deal with. With Hua Xiangrong's strength, she might not be a match for him.
Hua Xiangrong stood under the tree, quiet and beautiful.
Not only her appearance, but also her cultivation and aura were exactly the same as when she was in the Immortal Realm.
But her temperament was quite different from the past.
She looked at Li Mu with a somewhat complicated look.
Li Mu raised his hand, and the invisible tactical deployment rippled out and covered the whole small yard, blocking all peeping and aura.
"Why don't you speak?"
Li Mu asked with a wry smile, "So, are you here to assassinate me?"
The Taoist Alliance had suffered heavy losses.
Did she want to use Hua Xiangrong to assassinate him?
Hua Xiangrong shook her head gently and said, "Come with me."
"Huh?"
Li Mu was stunned and did not understand.
Hua Xiangrong said, "You said that we used to be husband and wife."
Li Mu nodded.
Hua Xiangrong continued, "Then you come with me. I'm willing to be your wife."
Li Mu was delighted and said, "Really?"
Hua Xiangrong nodded calmly and said, "I never lie."
Li Mu's expression suddenly calmed down.
Because he could see that Hua Xiangrong had not recovered her memory.
"Where to?"
Li Mu asked.
Hua Xiangrong said, "To Taoist Mountain."
"Do you want me to join the Taoist Alliance?"
Li Mu understood.
Hua Xiangrong said, "Husband and wife are one. I am a member of the Taoist Alliance. Shouldn't you be with me?"
"So, are you here to persuade me to surrender?"
Li Mu said.
Hua Xiangrong thought about it seriously and said, "You can understand it this way."
Li Mu rubbed the spot between his eyebrows and said, "You should know that because of me, the Taoist Master Alliance has suffered heavy losses. Three lords died in battle, and one of their ancestors was seriously injured. They spent so much energy and paid such a heavy price to assassinate me. If I go to the Taoist Master Alliance, won't I be a lamb walking into a tiger's den? You can't protect me, can you?"
After saying that, he smiled and said, "Husband and wife are one. Therefore, you can also join the Ascender Faction. I will think of a way to help you recover your memories of the past. I can also guarantee your safety."
Hua Xiangrong said, "The Taoist Master Alliance will let bygones be bygones. As long as you go back with me, your status will be above that of the four ancestors and the ten lords."
Li Mu was stunned.
Such a high standard?
Previously, he wanted nothing more than to tear himself into pieces.
Now that they had lost an ancestor and three kings and suffered heavy losses, not only did they not seek revenge, they were even promoted to a high position?
Above the Four Ancestors and Ten Kings, this position was really too high.
At this time, Hua Xiangrong added, "Above me, too."
