"Young Master Li Mu, who is excellent in both poetry and martial arts, likes you. You will leave here sooner or later. I'm happy for you, and I won't stop you. But my sister, I've spent a lot of time, energy, and money on you these years. I originally hoped that you could stabilize the position of Top Beauty in Chang 'an City and reverse the declining situation of our Holy House in the past two years. In a few dozen days, the annual Top Beauty Competition in Chang' an City will be held. I beg you to participate in this competition and win some fame for my Holy House, which is also a favor to me. What do you think?"
Mom Bai Xuan didn't hide anything and directly spoke her mind.
"Well …" Hua Xiangrong hesitated for a moment.
Of course, she was willing to return the favor to Mom Bai Xuan. After all, thanks to Mom Bai's care, she didn't really fall into the fire pit. But the problem was that her heart now belonged to someone else, and she was already half Li Mu's woman. What if Li Mu didn't like her and competed for the Top Beauty? After all, she would have to show her face in public.
She was a little embarrassed.
Bai Xuan was smart. At first glance, she understood Hua Xiangrong's mind, so she said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry. I won't embarrass you on this matter. I think Young Master Li is not a rigid scholar, and I'm willing to accommodate you. You can try to ask him. If Young Master Li Mu doesn't agree, I will never force you, and I won't joke with your lifelong happiness."
…
…
When Li Mu came to the hall on the first floor of the Holy House, many people surrounded him with flattering smiles.
"After ten years of hard work, no one asks about you, but you become famous overnight."
That saying couldn't be more appropriate for Li Mu at that moment.
Previously, he composed three poems and possessed the strength of a Great Master, which had already caused a sensation in Chang 'an City. But today, he instantly killed the Heaven-Sword Celestial Being in the Natural Realm, which could be said to have driven the entire Chang' an City into a frenzy.
When Heaven-Sword Celestial Being became a Natural Expert, it would break the long-standing power pattern in Chang 'an City and break the original balance. Li Mu showed the Natural Expert strength, which also had the same effect.
For all the big shots, they preferred the person who entered the Natural Realm to be Li Mu.
Because he was not a member of any big faction in Chang 'an City.
That also meant that he was a target that could be won over. No matter who it was, if they could win over such a young Natural Expert with infinite potential to their side, it would almost mean that they could secure the position of a feudal lord in Chang 'an.
Therefore, no matter how hot they were and how cold they were, there were still many people who wanted to get along with him.
Fortunately, Zheng Cunjian was already waiting in the hall. As soon as Li Mu came out, he immediately separated the crowd and led Li Mu out of the Holy House.
Riding the chrysanthemum leopard, Li Mu attracted a lot.
It was an hour when they arrived at the chrysanthemum leopard..
"Master" Li and Li and Li Li Mu's mother had already prepared the dishes and wine. She warmed them again and again. Finally, when Li Mu came back, she smiled and half-blamed him.
The Master, "Master" and "and" Li. "Master" Mu and're Master Have and ", Li", "Master and of the Master Master, and Than" and and Mu, had of of of
At the dinner table, Li Mu's mother drank a few glasses of wine and couldn't help but tactfully criticize Li Mu.
In Li Du's mother's opinion, young people still needed to control themselves. It was fine to go to places like brothels occasionally, but they must not be greedy for beauty, lest they lose themselves in it and lose their mind. Moreover, it would also ruin their reputation and easily harm their health. Lust was like a bone scraper.
Li Mu originally wanted to explain that he had been to the Musical House twice, but in fact, he was just drinking and practicing martial arts, so he was still a real virgin. But then he felt that there was no point in explaining, so he just smiled and agreed.
This was truly the heart of a parent in the world.
Grassy and Xia Ju covered their mouths and laughed.
In the afternoon, Dong Xue and Ning Jing also came to congratulate Li Mu on his victory over the Heaven-Sword Celestial Being. They also brought some congratulatory gifts from the Ning Mansion. But Li Mu was not there, so they went back after staying for a while.
During the meal, Qiu Yi's soul also appeared for a while.
After being nourished by the Taoist instrument "Ghost Coffin", especially the "Yin Mountain Ghost Raising Painting", Qiu Yi's soul had become stronger. He could already talk to living people, but he still couldn't pick up heavy objects. There were still a lot of inconveniences, but it was enough to make Li Mu's mother and the other two very happy.
Li Mu had always kept the matter of resurrecting Qiu Yi in mind.
But it was too complicated. He might have to go out of this planet and enter the interstellar space to find the real immortal method or ask the old faker for help.
After the meal, Li Mu's mother went back to her room to rest.
Grassy and Xia Ju took out the gift list and wanted to report to Li Mu about the people who sent gifts today.
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Just accept the gifts. As for who sent them, you don't need to know."
The two maids covered their mouths and laughed. They were also amused by their Master's "shameless" face.
However, in the afternoon, the big shots they only heard about but never met all showed up at the door with flattering smiles and called Li Mu "sister". That kind of feeling was really satisfying.
"Young Master, Zhou Dedao of the Dafeng Chamber of Commerce also came this afternoon. He sent the gold notes of the World Chamber of Commerce. The total amount is 1.2 million. He said that he will raise another 300,000 taels of silver in three days. Please give him three days." Grassy took out a handful of gold notes.
This lass looked dizzy.
She had never seen such a huge amount of money.
Li Mu nodded and took the gold notes. He did not count them and just put them away. Then, he gave one to Grassy and said, "You can support the family first."
When Li Mu returned to the training room, Grassy was dazzled by the 100,000 taels of gold notes.
It felt so good to be rich.
…
…
The night was long.
The bustling city of Chang 'an gradually quietened down after midnight.
A shadow dashed out of the Pig-Herding Alley like a wisp of smoke under the moonlight. It moved at an extremely high speed and darted between different buildings. With a single leap, it crossed thousands of meters and soon melted into the boundless night.
About an hour later.
At the gate of the manor of the Bloody-moon faction.
That smoke-like figure directly landed on the ten-meter-high towering gate. Under the moonlight, the slender figure with short hair and a heroic face could be seen. It was Li Mu.
"It's midnight."
He overlooked the entire manor and spread out his spiritual force. Suddenly, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
"Ah?"
"There is no one in the entire manor?"
Li Mu thought his perception was wrong.
He ran his spiritual force and directly opened the Third Eye to look at the entire manor. Wherever he passed, he only saw the life energy of some small animals such as mosquitoes, snakes, rats, and so on. There was no smell of human beings. The huge manor had been completely emptied.
"Bloody-moon Evil Master actually ran away?"
Li Mu really did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He never expected that he just used Taoist magic arts to scare him, but this ruthless man actually ran away with his subordinates.
"So cowardly?"
Li Mu flashed into the manor and searched around under the moonlight.
The Bloody-moon faction had painstakingly built such a large manor for a long time. It was impossible to completely empty it in just half an afternoon without leaving any trace. There should be some clues. Li Mu was actually a little curious about the Bloody-moon faction.
However, it took Li Mu more than half an hour to search the entire manor. He even found some extremely hidden basements and some secret rooms, but he found nothing.
"This Bloody-moon Evil Master is really meticulous. The Bloody-moon faction acts mysteriously and should not be underestimated."
Li Mu also felt a little emotional.
Judging from the layout and architecture of the entire manor, the Bloody-moon faction also spent a lot of energy on it.
A headquarters that had been painstakingly built for so long was abandoned and moved so well. It was not something that ordinary people could do, which made Li Mu a little vigilant.
Finally, he left the manor of the Bloody-moon faction.
Chang 'an City in the moonlight was quiet and peaceful, with a different kind of beauty.
Li Mu shuttled between the high-rise buildings, but he was not in a hurry to go back. It was rare to experience this kind of scenery in the dark. Finally, he unconsciously followed the lights and came to the vicinity of the Musical House on Liufang Street. In the vast Chang 'an City, only this area was full of music day and night. Even in the middle of the night, it was still very lively.
Li Mu stood at the top of a high tower hundreds of meters away from Liufang Street, overlooking the earth.
In the brightly lit Musical House, people could smell, the fragrance of wine, and the smell of rouge dyed most of the sky.
Li Mu looked in the direction of the Holy House. In the room belonging to Hua Xiangrong, the light had been extinguished. That girl must have fallen asleep. After all, she had danced several times in a row during the day, so she should be very tired.
A smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Li Mu was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, a sound of clothes flapping in the air suddenly came from the depths of Liufang Street.
Under the moonlight, several figures were as fast as lightning, chasing one after another, coming in the direction of the stone tower where Li Mu was.
"Eh? Are there experts fighting? "Li Mu immediately saw it.
His heart stirred, and he secretly observed.
Soon, he recognized that the figure running in the front turned out to be an acquaintance — the woman in white whom he met in Peace Town.
The woman's figure and temperament were too stunning. Especially at that time, when she was eating noodles, she revealed her unparalleled noble face, which left a deep impression on Li Mu. At this time, even if she was masked, with his sharp eyes, Li Mu naturally recognized her at a glance from a long distance.
However, at this time, the woman in white was the one being chased.
As for the people following her, except for the three people who were in black robes, the other dozens were wearing uniform dark armors. Obviously, they belonged to a certain force, and their strength was not weak. Every one of them was not inferior to Wang Chen, who was in the Master Realm. In particular, the three black-robed figures in the front turned out to be in the Great Master Realm.
