In the small courtyard, under the osmanthus tree.
Hua Xiangrong, dressed in white, was quietly sitting on the stone chair under the tree.
She was so quiet and calm.
As if she was the host, and Li Mu, who pushed the door open, was a guest from afar.
Seeing Li Mu come in, she turned her head slightly and looked at him calmly.
"Again?"
Li Mu was really … impressed.
He raised his hand.
An invisible tactical deployment protected the entire courtyard.
Although the Heavenly Dao Alliance's Emperor was secretly protecting him, he had set up such a restriction to tell them that he did not want to be noticed at this moment. Thus, with Li Mu's new identity, the various experts would not really break open the formation to investigate until they were sure that Li Mu was safe.
"Didn't I tell you that it's dangerous in the city now? Don't come again."
Li Mu said.
Hua Xiangrong said, "There are so many people from the Tiandao Alliance. Are they here for you?"
Li Mu sat across the stone table, fixed his eyes on Hua Xiangrong's, and said, "Are you concerned about me?"
Hua Xiangrong said, "Did they invite you to Tiandao Mountain?"
Li Mu nodded.
Hua Xiangrong said, "You can't go."
"Why?"
Li Mu asked.
Hua Xiangrong said, "If you go, you will be in danger."
Li Mu said, "What if I say there will be no danger?"
Hua Xiangrong shook her head and said, "As long as you go, you will definitely be in danger."
She said so firmly.
Li Mu said, "You don't know … Don't worry, it will be fine."
"No, you don't know." Hua Xiangrong said, "If you really go to Tiandao Mountain, you will definitely die. Immortal Master Mu Yun will not let you go."
Li Mu looked at Hua Xiangrong and said, "Tell me the truth. These days, you have been coming to me. Is it because you want to come, or because someone in the Taoist Master Alliance asked you to come?"
Hua Xiangrong said, "It's because the Taoist Master Alliance needs me."
The light in Li Mu's eyes dimmed slightly.
Hua Xiangrong added, "It's also because I want to come."
Li Mu smiled.
"Thank you for the wine and the food. I'm very happy."
He looked at Hua Xiangrong's incomparably beautiful face and said, "I really, really want you to recover your memory and find back everything we once had, but now it seems that I can't do it. However, I'm not anxious. If one day you can never get your memory back, then I'll pursue you again. Because last time, you've always been with me. But now, God has played a joke on us. Maybe he wants me to pursue you again to make it up to you."
Li Mu said calmly.
There was a kind of feeling that was slowly flowing under the osmanthus tree.
In the depths of Hua Xiangrong's heart, something was gently stirred.
But at the end of the sentence, she still said, "You can't go to Tiandao Mountain."
Li Mu was not disappointed.
He smiled.
Li Mu's smile was very beautiful. Even under the moonlight, it was full of sunshine.
He said, "Because it involves something very important to me, I have to go to Tiandao Mountain. Even if I can only stay on the mountain for a few days, I have to go. So, Hua 'er, I'm sorry, I can't promise you that. "
A trace of helplessness flashed across Hua Xiangrong's eyes.
"Do you have to go?"
She asked again.
Li Mu nodded.
"You have to go."
Hua Xiangrong stared at Li Mu.
After a long time, she shook her head and said, "What a pity. I shouldn't have let you drink that jar of wine."
Without that jar of wine, Li Mu's strength would not have grown so fast.
Then, she had a certain degree of confidence that she could seal Li Mu and take him away by force without anyone knowing.
But now, Li Mu's cultivation grew too fast.
Coupled with the weird time power, it was almost impossible for Hua Xiangrong to take Li Mu away without alarming the ascenders' camp and the experts of the Tiandao Alliance in the city.
"I can deliberately alarm the people in the city now, and then announce that you are a member of our Taoist Alliance, so that you can't go to Tiandao Mountain. But if that's the case, maybe you will never want to see me again in the future, right?"
Hua Xiangrong looked at Li Mu and asked.
Li Mu shook his head and said, "You'd better not. Compared with that, I'm more worried about your safety. Once you expose your aura, you can never leave Ningping City. With a peerless expert like Sun Fei around, I'm afraid I can't protect you. "
Hua Xiangrong did not listen to Li Mu.
She carefully weighed the pros and cons in her mind.
After several slight fluctuations in her emotions, she sighed and gave up on this plan.
At a certain moment just now, she even made up her mind to expose herself and then die in the battle. In this way, she could deliberately use her death to provoke Li Mu and make him break with the Tiandao Alliance and go to the Taoist Alliance.
However, when she thought that without her, even if Li Mu returned to the Taoist Alliance, he would not know the truth, she changed her mind.
At least, she could not die now.
"Do you know why I had to take the risk to come to Ningping City to deliver that jar of Taiyi Fairy Wine and that box of mortal soup?"
Hua Xiangrong looked at Li Mu and asked word by word.
Li Mu heaved a sigh.
"You want to remind me of something, don't you?"
He said flatly.
Hua Xiangrong nodded and said, "Yes, that wine used to be your favorite drink, and that dish used to be your favorite food. Do you know? You want me to recover my memory, and I also want you to recover your memory, don't you? "
Li Mu was shocked.
Although he had thought of the possibility, he did not think about it.
"Recover my memory? What kind of memory? "
Li Mu could not help asking.
Hua Xiangrong looked at Li Mu. After a moment of silence, she shook her head and said, "You will know in the future … Since you have decided to go to Tiandao Mountain, I will not stop you. You promise me one last thing, and I will let you go to Tiandao Mountain. What do you think?"
Li Mu said, "Okay, I promise. What is it?"
Hua Xiangrong's figure gradually became illusory like smoke and gradually dissipated.
"Wait for me in Ningping City for three days. Three days later, I will come to see you at night."
Her voice floated in the moonlight, and she had already disappeared.
…
In the next three days, Li Mu declined the request of Red Emperor, Dragon Emperor, and others to go to Tiandao Mountain immediately.
"I still have some unfinished business in this city. I will leave in three days."
He was very determined.
Although Dragon Emperor and others were all powerful figures in the Tiandao Alliance, they did not dare to force Li Mu, a "little childe" with a special identity, so they could only hold back their impatience and wait for another three days.
It happened that the ascendants were also selecting envoys to accompany Li Mu to Tiandao Mountain. They needed time to prepare and deal with it.
Li Mu's idea coincided with that of the ascendants.
During that time, Li Bai and others also talked to Li Mu.
"That Heavenly Secret Deduction Map is a thorn in our side.
Little brother, you must not be careless on this trip. "
Li Bai reminded him again and again.
Li Mu said with a smile, "Senior, please rest assured. I am not the kind of person who will be confused by power and status. This time, I am going to Tiandao Mountain to find out the mystery of my origin. Apart from that, there is no conclusion about other things. I have not really decided to join the Tiandao Alliance."
Li Bai nodded with relief.
Guigu 'zi, one of the 36 Pillar Gods, said with a faint smile, "It doesn't matter which camp you are in. What matters is that you have the heart to join the ascendants."
He was also one of the envoys selected by the ascendants.
There was only half a day left before Li Mu's three-day appointment.
The ascendants had also selected the envoys to accompany Li Mu to Tiandao Mountain. They were Li Bai, Zhang Xu, Qu Zi, Guigu 'zi, and Liu Bowen.
The five candidates had all been carefully considered.
Among them, Li Bai and Zhang Xu's swordsmanship and calligraphy complemented each other. When they joined hands, they were extremely powerful, and they were also the closest to Li Mu.
Guigu 'zi and Liu Bowen, on the other hand, were the two most outstanding among the 36 Divine Pillars in divination and the construction of tactical deployments. They could identify the authenticity of Li Mu's identity and provide them with help.
Qu Zi volunteered to accompany Li Mu.
After all the major matters were settled, they would set off the next day.
That night.
In the small yard, Hua Xiangrong appeared as promised.
Li Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that he had probably underestimated Hua Xiangrong's strength.
She could come and go freely in Ningping City today. Perhaps her cultivation was far higher than he imagined, or she could be on par with people like Sun Fei.
"Since you have to go to Tiandao Mountain, then take this with you."
As Hua Xiangrong said, she gently put a piece of yellow paper on the table.
On the yellow paper, there were strange figures drawn with a cinnabar pen.
It looked like a paper talisman used by Taoist priests in the mortal world.
There was no special energy fluctuation.
Li Mu held the yellow paper in his hand and gently rubbed it. There was nothing special on it. It was really like ordinary low-quality paper, but the patterns on it were quite familiar. He vaguely seemed to see the old faker's drawing, but they were not exactly the same.
"This is a Realm-breaking Talisman, which can break all the restrictions and tactical deployments in the Middle Three Heavens except those in the Upper Three Heavens. On this trip to Tiandao Mountain, if you encounter any threat, tear this talisman, and it can keep you safe."
Hua Xiangrong said directly.
Li Mu solemnly put away the Realm-breaking Talisman and said, "Thank you."
Hua Xiangrong said nothing more and directly left.
A moment later.
A thousand miles outside the city.
Hua Xiangrong came to the edge of the desert and entered the Vast Sea Forest. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and spat out a blood arrow. Her whole face gradually became weary. She found an ancient tree, sat on the crown, and began to run her Cultivation Method to regulate her breathing.
Soon, a very hidden power fluctuation quickly approached.
When it came close, it turned into a shadow.
Who else could it be but the Zhen Zu, one of the four masters of the Taoist Alliance?
He was beaten by Sun Fei, and only his Primordial Spirit was left.
At this time, he came to the tree in the state of Primordial Spirit.
"Hahaha, Revered Bai, for that little bastard, you didn't hesitate to reveal your Origin Blood, disregarded your injuries, and forced your way into Ningping City. Haha, now, how much strength do you have left?"
The Zhen Zu suppressed his voice and sneered.
His eyes were full of greed.

I'm sorry for missing the appointment yesterday. I will make it up.
