Lei Yinyin was extremely nervous.
When Li Mu stood in front of her, her mind went blank and she even forgot to breathe.
"Ah?" She reacted and quickly handed back the clothes in her hand. She had wanted to say something, but she forgot it.
Li Mu smiled and patted her on the shoulder, joking, "How about it? I didn't let you down, did I?"
Lei Yinyin exclaimed again and subconsciously looked at Li Mu's warm smiling eyes. She didn't know why she was suddenly not nervous and blurted out, "So-so, not bad." After saying that, she regretted it. Why did she say such arrogant words unconsciously?
Several classmates around her were also anxious.
"Yinyin is crazy. How dare she talk to this lord like that?"
People above the Natural Realm could be called lords.
Li Mu burst into laughter.
"Well, next time, I will do well." He smiled and said, "If you have any trouble in the future, you can come to me."
Lei Yinyin was stunned again when she heard that.
Other people around her looked at the girl with envy and jealousy.
Just because they had waved the flag and shouted a few words during the battle, they had gained the friendship of a peerless powerhouse who could instantly kill a Natural Expert. Moreover, he had directly promised to help them. This was simply heaven-defying luck. If they had known this earlier, they would have also cheered for Li Mu during the battle. Now, maybe they could have gained Li Mu's friendship too.
However, on second thought, did they dare to do that?
Heaven-Sword Celestial Being had entered the Natural Realm, and everyone thought that he would be the final winner. Under such a premise, how could they dare to cheer for Li Mu, who was "doomed" to die? There were interests entanglements in it. Only Lei Yinyin, such a heartless fan, dared to shout loudly without asking for anything.
This was what she deserved.
A word from a matchless master in the Natural Realm could make a small family flourish and protect a person for a lifetime.
How lucky she was to get the promise of such a person.
Many people had already secretly calculated that if they could not make friends with such a big shot as Li Mu, it was also a good choice to make friends with this little girl from the Fengming Academy, which was equivalent to having an indirect connection with Li Mu.
Li Mu looked at Lei Yinyin's other companions and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."
The youngsters were all excited.
After saying that, Li Mu put on his robe and walked toward the viewing platform.
At this time, the people on the viewing platform did not dare to be negligent. They all came down from the platform and greeted Li Mu respectfully.
Magistrate Li Gang had already left in advance. The rest of the people, unless they were Natural Experts, did not dare to be arrogant in front of Li Mu at this time. As for the real Natural Experts, of course, they were not interested in the battle between two Great Masters, so they would not show up on the fighting ring today. Among these big shots, there were at most a few Great Masters. At this time, facing Li Mu, they all lowered their heads.
"County Magistrate Li, congratulations." Cai Zhijie walked over with his strong and tower-like body.
Li Mu said, "It's just a basic operation. There's nothing to be happy about."
Cai Zhijie, Zhou Yiling, and the others were stunned and then laughed.
Everyone hated arrogant people, but if a truly capable person was arrogant, they would feel that it was reasonable.
Li Mu was undoubtedly the one who could make any kind of arrogance reasonable.
"Young Master." Zheng Cunjian also saluted.
Li Mu nodded.
Some other people, whether he knew them or not, all came up to say hello. Basically, they were some big shots in Chang 'an City, military, political, and business. Zheng Cunjian introduced them to Li Mu one by one. Li Mu had no interest in making friends with these people, so he reluctantly gave them a perfunctory greeting.
Only when he introduced Ning Rushan, the Wuwei General, did Li Mu see Ning Jing and Dong Xue behind him, so he took the initiative to say hello to them with a smile.
At first glance, Ning Rushan knew that it was the right decision to bring this son of a concubine to watch the battle today, and the harvest was absolutely huge. He originally expected that Li Mu was only a Great Master, but he did not expect that Li Mu could even kill a Natural Expert, which was completely a surprise.
Zheng Cunjian seized the opportunity to tell Li Mu about the conflict between Ning Rushan and Zhang Chengfeng in the process of the fighting ring and put in a few good words for Ning Rushan.
"Greetings, General Ning." Li Mu also said hello.
Ning Rushan smiled and said, "Heroes come from the young."
In the end, Li Mu's eyes fell on Zhang Chengfeng, the Heaven-breaking Legend Sword.
At this time, Zhang Chengfeng no longer had the previous high-spirited and arrogant attitude. Like a frosted eggplant, he was dejected. He knew that the Heaven Sword Martial Club was doomed after this battle, but he did not dare to run away, because he could not. With the fame and status Li Mu gained in this battle, as long as Li Mu wanted to find him, even the government would help him.
"County Magistrate Li, our Heaven Sword Martial Club … lost." Zhang Chengfeng said with a gloomy face, "From now on, our Zhang family … dare not to be the enemy of the county magistrate. Wherever the county magistrate goes, our Zhang family is willing to stay away. County Magistrate Li, please show mercy and don't kill us."
Li Mu sneered inwardly.
"Now you come to pretend to be pitiful?"
"Just now, you refused to give up and wanted to kill Grassy and Xia Ju. Such a vicious person can't be let go."
Li Mu directly punched Zhang Chengfeng, which sent him flying and broke the internal qi he had cultivated so hard.
"You … are so cruel." Zhang Chengfeng spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Li Mu with vicious and resentful eyes.
Li Mu was not moved at all and said, "What happened today is your own fault. Let's not talk about using living people and living things to practice swordsmanship. On that day, I killed Zhang Chuixue because he killed my mother's adopted daughter Qiu Yi. A life for a life, so I don't want to blame your Heaven Sword Martial Club anymore. But you don't think about your mistakes, you encouraged the Heaven-Sword Celestial Being to fight with me, and you even wanted to kill Grassy and Xia Ju. Think about it, if I am defeated today, what will happen to my friends and relatives? In terms of cruelty, I am not as good as you. If you don't accept it, I have killed people. "
Zhang Chengfeng lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
He was afraid of death.
Once he died, he would have nothing.
Li Mu reached out and said, "Heaven-sword Sixteen Styles, take it out."
Previously, the Heaven-Sword Celestial Being was smashed into pieces by a punch, and his sword manual also disappeared, so he could only ask Zhang Chengfeng for it.
Zhang Chengfeng took out a secret manual from his bosom and handed it to Li Mu.
Li Mu read it casually and found it was indeed Heaven-sword Sixteen Styles, so he nodded and accepted it.
At this time, Zhou Dedao, the owner of the Dafeng Chamber of Commerce, came up to him with a flattering smile and said, "County Magistrate Li, I have prepared one million gold, and I will immediately order someone to send it to the Pig-Herding Alley. County Magistrate Li, my son …"
Li Mu interrupted him expressionlessly and said, "One million gold? Chairman Zhou, I think you got it wrong. Why do I remember it is one million and five hundred thousand gold? "
"Ah?" Zhou Dedao was stunned, and then said anxiously, "County Magistrate, but it is clearly one million gold, and you promised me that you could postpone it, I …"
"Humph, do you think I don't know your little plan?" Li Mu said, "I promised you that I could postpone it, but it is not without a price. Do you want your son's life or money? Make your choice."
Li Mu did not want to waste his breath on such a villain.
"County Magistrate Li, you are young and heroic, which is admirable." A wretched old man with sparse hair and yellow teeth came up to him and said with a smile, "I am Ye Jiuge, the dean of the Fengming Academy. A few days ago, Jia Zuoren, a guider of our academy, was punished by County Magistrate Li for swindling people outside, which made me feel ashamed. I heard that County Magistrate Li is interested in the Fengming Scripture Library of our academy, and I am very welcome. Haha, from now on, the Fengming Scripture Library will always be open to County Magistrate Li, and you can come at any time."
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling face. Seeing that the dean of the Fengming Academy had said so, Li Mu did not say anything more, so he said, "Thank you, Dean Ye."
"Haha, you are welcome." Ye Jiuge grinned and showed his yellow teeth.
Others looked at his wretched appearance and shook their heads inwardly. Ye Jiuge used to be a handsome man in Chang 'an, but what on earth happened to make him become like this?
Tie Zhan, the dean of the Hanshan Academy, looked embarrassed.
He also wanted to follow Ye Jiuge's example and turn hostility into friendship with Li Mu. But he had issued the Hanshan Alumni Token with great fanfare and clamored for a head-on confrontation with Li Mu several times. How could he swallow his pride at this time?
Moreover, he didn't know how the so-called Hanshan Alumni Association would end this time.
If Li Mu was only a Great Master, the Hanshan Academy could barely fight against him, but now Li Mu was a monster who could kill a Natural Expert in seconds, and the Hanshan Academy had no capital to fight against him. What he had done before was destined to end badly, and he would become a joke in Chang 'an City.
Li Mu did not notice Tie Zhan at all.
When he got the secret book, he was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, so he cupped his hands to the crowd and said, "Everyone, I have a favor to ask you. If someone can do it, I can thank him with generous gifts, or I am willing to fight for him once. What do you think?"
When everyone heard that, they all became spirited.
This was an opportunity.
"County Magistrate Li, please say it."
"Haha, it's our honor to serve you, county magistrate."
"Please tell me, county magistrate. I will do my best."
The big shots were very enthusiastic.
Li Mu said, "It's not a big deal. I have a maid named Ming Yue. A few days ago, she was abducted by an old beggar who claimed to be Zuo Luyi. I've been tracking her for more than a month, but I can't find her. If you can help me find this maid, I will reward you generously."
"Find someone?"
"That's easy."
"County magistrate, rest assured. We will do our best to find her."
"Haha, our Whale-riding Faction is well-informed. It's easy to find someone. As long as she is still in the Chang 'an Mansion, we will find her."
When everyone heard this, they felt that it wasn't a difficult matter. Finding a person was too easy for them, and they hurriedly agreed. Being able to obtain the friendship and promise of a peerless Xiantian Realm expert so easily was truly an opportunity that came once in a blue moon.
Li Mu described the appearance of Ming Yue and the old beggar, and then added, "By the way, the old beggar also has a big yellow and white fat dog with him, which is very tough."
After that, he waved goodbye.
Out of the Heaven Sword Martial Club, Li Mu rode on a horse, followed by Zheng Cunjian.
Zheng Cunjian had no idea how to ease the relationship between Li Mu and Li Gang, so he was still thinking about ways.
"I've sent someone to the Pig-Herding Alley to inform the old lady," said Zheng Cunjian.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Fine. In that case, let's not go back. Let's go straight to the Musical House."
