Chapter 106, A Leisurely Move

"Horse! Horse! Stay here obediently, and I'll give you grass to eat in a bit."

Mu Yunsheng tied up the horse, a smile on his face, and said to the old horse pulling the carriage, before starting to walk into the courtyard.

Looking at Song Yunjun and Xue Ruirong in the courtyard, Song Yunjun gave a brief bow without saying much and walked towards the wooden house where they lived and rested.

"Why isn't Senior Sister Ruirong talking to me? Is she still angry with me?"

Song Yunjun stood with his head down for a long time, but still didn't hear Xue Ruirong speak to him. His initial joy and excitement turned into anxiety and uncertainty.

"That's right, I haven't bought Qianqing Fuyun Noodles and Grade B Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodles for Senior Sister Ruirong yet. She must think that Chef Muling and I are deceiving her."

"That's why you didn't forgive me or talk to me; it's all my fault."

Song Yunjun pondered to himself, then looked up and saw Xue Ruirong's icy face. He wanted to slap himself, so he quickly looked up at Mu Yunsheng and said anxiously.

"Shepherd Chef, quickly make me a B-grade Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodle and a Dry Green Cloud-Soothing Noodle."

At this point, Song Yunjun glanced out of the corner of his eye at Xue Ruirong, who still hadn't shown any smile.

To make up for the guilt of not being able to buy Xue Ruirong Qianqing Fuyun Noodles and Grade B Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodles during this period, and to express his sincerity.

Song Yunjun gritted his teeth inwardly, touched his storage bag which was now empty of spirit stones and had few spirit talismans, and continued speaking to Mu Yunsheng.

"Also, Chef Mu Ling, what other spiritual dishes can you make? Please bring one of each."

Xue Ruirong stood aside, and upon hearing Song Yunjun's words, a smile finally appeared on her icy face. She wasn't there to eat the other spiritual dishes prepared by Mu Yunsheng.

“Fellow Daoist Song, I have other important matters to attend to today, so I will not be preparing spiritual food for the time being. Fellow Daoist Song and Fellow Daoist Xue, please forgive me.”

Mu Yunsheng had already walked to the entrance of the wooden house, turned around, bowed, and said with a smile.

In the courtyard, they saw Song Yunjun, who had lost his mind, and Xue Ruirong, whose face was cold and frosty, but whose eyes held a smile.

Mu Yunsheng was already thinking about whether or not to give Xue Ruirong some commission.

"Why?" Song Yunjun asked in surprise. He had finally managed to see Xue Ruirong, and a smile appeared on her face, but now he heard Mu Yunsheng's refusal.

"Chef Mu Ling, what important matter do you have to attend to? I went to great lengths to invite Senior Sister Rui Rong over today. Can't you prepare a spiritual meal for her before you go about your business?"

With a face full of anger, Song Yunjun walked up to Mu Yunsheng and said angrily, his true essence fluctuating violently.

"Shh~shh~" The Heavenly Dragon silently twisted its body in Mu Yun Sheng's right sleeve, opening its sharp yellow insect legs.

"I have already resigned from my post as the manager of the Lingdan Liu family's spiritual field and will be leaving the Yuxu spiritual field today to go to the Mangshan spiritual land. I really don't have time to prepare spiritual meals for Fellow Daoist Song and Fellow Daoist Xue."

"Fellow Daoist Song and Fellow Daoist Xue, please forgive me. You may visit the sacred land of Mangshan at any time in the future. I will definitely apologize to you then."

Mu Yunsheng, his smile unchanged, bowed to Song Yunjun, then stood up, his gaze naturally turning to Xue Ruirong.

“The Mangshan Spiritual Land, isn’t that the Yun family’s spiritual land? Why would Mu Lingchu go to the Mangshan Spiritual Land? Could it be that Mu Lingchu obtained the spiritual contract of the Mangshan Spiritual Land from the Liu family of Lingdan?”

Upon hearing Mu Yunsheng's words, Xue Ruirong's thoughts raced, and she looked at him, just in time to meet his gaze.

Upon seeing this scene, Xue Ruirong's heart tightened, then a look of joy appeared on her face. Feigning girlish innocence, she wrapped her hands around the black hair hanging down her shoulders and lowered her head under Mu Yunsheng's gaze.

"What Mangshan Spiritual Land? If it's not Mangshan Spiritual Land, why don't you, Chef Mu, prepare a good spiritual meal for Senior Sister Ruirong before going to your so-called Mangshan Spiritual Land?"

“I came to buy it every day for the past few days, but you were never there. Today, no matter what, Chef Mu Ling, you must prepare a good spiritual meal for Senior Sister Rui Rong before you can leave.”

Song Yunjun continued his angry and agitated speech, ignoring Mu Yunsheng's bow.

Mu Yunsheng's pupils contracted slightly. Upon hearing Song Yunjun's last words, the smile on his face almost vanished, and he looked at him with a slight frown.

Some people don't understand how Song Yunjun was able to cultivate in the cultivation world for so long.

"Is the cultivation environment at Qingmu Temple really that good?" Mu Yunsheng wondered to himself.

"Alright, Junior Brother Song, I know you come to Muling Kitchen every day to buy spiritual food for me out of gratitude for my guidance in cultivation."

When Xue Ruirong saw Mu Yunsheng frowning slightly, she quickly walked over and said to Song Yunjun, then glanced at Mu Yunsheng's expression and spoke softly.

"But in reality, all I hope for is that Junior Brother Song can cultivate diligently every day. Today, it was only after you begged me for a long time that I reluctantly agreed to come with you."

"Since Chef Mu Ling is busy and can't prepare spiritual dishes, we shouldn't disturb him, or Senior Sister will be angry with you."

“But Senior Sister Ruirong…” Song Yunjun turned to look at Xue Ruirong, wanting to say something.

"There are no 'buts,' otherwise Senior Sister will really get angry."

Xue Ruirong quickly interrupted Song Yunjun before he could say anything, and said with a sweet smile.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Junior brother will listen to Senior Sister Ruirong. Please don't be angry, Senior Sister Ruirong."

Song Yunjun had never heard Xue Ruirong speak to him so sweetly and coquettishly before. He was completely captivated and lost all sense of what he wanted to say. With a blissful smile on his face, he readily agreed.

"Chef Mu Ling, we won't disturb you any longer while you're busy with your business. After you're done, Rui Rong and Junior Brother Song will go to the Mangshan Spirit Land to pay our respects to you."

Seeing that Song Yunjun was no longer speaking, Xue Ruirong's smile deepened. She bowed to Mu Yunsheng and spoke in a sweet and charming voice.

"Alright, then I won't see you off any longer. I will definitely wait for you two at the sacred land of Mangshan in the future."

Mu Yunsheng returned the greeting, and after watching Xue Ruirong and Song Yunjun leave, he turned and entered the wooden house.

In the living room of the wooden house, Shui Lin'er and her three friends had already packed up their belongings and placed them in the living room, with large and small bags filling almost half of the room.

The four women were sitting idly in the living room and did not go out to greet Song Yunjun and his companion.

"Brother Yunsheng, have Song Yunjun and the other two left?"

After Mu Yunsheng entered the living room, the four women, including Shui Lin'er, exchanged glances. Shui Lin'er stood up to greet him and asked him questions.

"Yes, they've already left." Mu Yunsheng nodded in reply, the fake smile that had been on his face disappearing, and he sat down at the guest table where Shui Lin'er and the other three women were sitting idly.

"Here you are, Brother Yun Sheng." Bi Lingxing offered Mu Yun Sheng a cup of refreshing tea, her delicate and charming face full of smiles as she looked at him.

"Thank you, Sister Lingxing." Mu Yunsheng replied with a smile, picked up the perfectly warm tea and drank it. At this moment, a pair of slender jade hands were placed on his shoulders, massaging them.

“Brother Yunsheng, that Senior Sister Ruirong of Song Yunjun is not a good woman. You should spend less time with her in the future.”

Shui Lin'er said as she massaged Mu Yunsheng's shoulders.

"Haha~ Little Lin'er isn't even married yet, and she's already starting to boss around Brother Yun Sheng." Mu Yun Sheng laughed, putting down his empty teacup and teasing Shui Lin'er. "No way." Shui Lin'er blushed and looked at Zhao Meiyu and the other two women in the living room, who were all laughing and joking, before saying sweetly.

"Anyway, Brother Yun Sheng is not allowed to spend too much time with Senior Sister Rui Rong of Song Yun Jun in the future. Brother Yun Sheng can marry Senior Sister Lian Yue, and the Ling Xings are all fine with it."

"It's just that I can't spend too much time with Senior Sister Ruirong, Song Yunjun, otherwise Xiaolin'er will... she'll..."

As Shui Lin'er spoke, looking at Mu Yunsheng's shoulders under her hands, she ultimately couldn't bear to hurt him and said earnestly.

"Xiao Lin'er, together with Senior Sister Meiyu and Senior Sister Lianyue, will kill that Senior Sister Ruirong. She will ruin Brother Yunsheng and the Mu family."

After saying that, Shui Lin'er's crescent-shaped eyes were filled with determination, clearly indicating that she was not joking.

“Yes, Brother Yunsheng, Xiaolin’er is right. That Senior Sister Ruirong is not a good match. If Brother Yunsheng likes beautiful women, my Bi family has many beautiful singers.”

"At that time, Brother Yunsheng can choose whatever he wants."

Bi Lianyue nodded and said, her elegant and beautiful face blushing slightly because of Shui Lin'er's earlier words about Mu Yunsheng marrying her, but she did not back down at all.

“Yes, yes, Brother Yunsheng’s Senior Sister Ruirong is not a good person. We should not associate with her.” Bi Lingxing and Zhao Meiyu nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then Brother Yunsheng won't spend much time with her anymore." Mu Yunsheng said casually with a smile, listening to the heartfelt advice from Shui Lin'er and the other three women, who were concerned for him and worried about him.

He didn't continue to tease Shui Lin'er and the other three girls about this matter, nor did he send Xue Ruirong and Song Yunjun to the Spirit Land. It was just a casual move he made.

Whether it succeeds or fails is still up in the air.

"Have you packed up all the items you're taking? Let's go." Mu Yunsheng said with a smile, standing up to carry the bundles that Shui Lin'er and the other three women had packed in the living room to the carriage outside.

"Everything has been packed up. We've also packed Brother Yunsheng's books and the remaining Qingyun Spirit Rice and other spiritual materials into wooden boxes."

Shui Lin'er and the other three girls replied with laughter, and also helped to move the various packed packages in the living room onto the carriage outside.

More than a quarter of an hour later.

"Giddy up!"

Mu Yunsheng inspected the outside and inside of the house, and after confirming that he had not forgotten anything he needed to take, he glanced at the empty wooden house.

They drove away in a carriage to the Jade Void Spirit Field, where they had stayed for more than five years.

………………

Mangshan is a sacred place.

Under the midday sun, the sacred land of Mangshan, which had been silent for more than a month, finally welcomed visitors on this day.

"Whoa!" "Whoa!"

Two carriages stopped at the foot of Mangshan Mountain, where the Yun family's memorial archway had collapsed.

"Brother Yun Sheng, is this the former sacred land of the Yun family, the sacred land of Mang Mountain? How come it's so desolate?"

Bi Lingxing sat in the carriage, looking at the desolate and uninhabited Mangshan Spirit Land under the midday sun, and asked Mu Yunsheng a question.

"Yes, Lingxing, this is the sacred land of Mangshan, and it will also be the sacred land of my Mu family in the future." Mu Yunsheng looked at the sacred land of Mangshan and replied to Bi Lingxing with a smile. Then he turned to Zhao Meiyu, who was driving another carriage behind him, and said.

“Meiyu, follow me, we’ll go up the mountain from the other side.”

"Drive~"

After saying that, Mu Yunsheng drove the carriage and headed towards the other side of Mangshan Spiritual Land.

There isn't just one mountain path leading up Mangshan Spiritual Land. There's also an official road that can be used by horse-drawn carriages, which leads directly to the area where the Yun family members and cultivators reside within Mangshan Spiritual Land.

Last night, Mu Yunsheng, along with Mu Kehua and the others, explored the sacred land of Mangshan and had already thoroughly investigated it.

"Yes, Brother Yun Sheng!" Bi Lian Yue replied with a laugh, getting ahead of Zhao Mei Yu. Although she didn't seem to have a very good relationship with Zhao Mei Yu, in fact, the four of them got along quite well with each other.

Bi Lianyue was currently sitting in the carriage driven by Zhao Meiyu, who, in her words, was her driver.

"Yes, Brother Yun Sheng, let's go!" Zhao Meiyu replied, her spirited eyes giving Bi Lianyue a disapproving look as she brandished her riding whip.

He drove the carriage to catch up with Mu Yunsheng.

"Clatter, clatter," the crisp sound of hooves and wheels echoed on the bluestone slabs. Before long, two carriages were being driven by Mu Yunsheng and Zhao Meiyu.

They then drove into the area where the Yun family members and cultivators lived on Mangshan Spirit Land, and stopped in front of a relatively well-preserved courtyard.

"For the time being, we will stay here until my uncle and father bring the mortal craftsmen from my Mu family to repair the pavilions and courtyards on the sacred land of Mangshan."

"Xiao Lin'er, Mei Yu, Lian Yue, Ling Xing, each of you can choose your favorite courtyard to live in."

Mu Yunsheng jumped down from the carriage and smiled at the four women, Shui Lin'er and Bi Lingxing, who were sitting in his carriage.

"Okay, Brother Yunsheng, we're fine with staying anywhere, we'll follow Brother Yunsheng's arrangements."

Shui Lin'er and the other three women replied. After getting off the carriage, they looked around at the courtyard that Mu Yunsheng had chosen. After a while, Shui Lin'er said to Mu Yunsheng.

"Brother Yunsheng, you go ahead and do what you need to do. We'll disturb this courtyard a bit first, and then we'll move the items we brought inside."

“Okay.” Mu Yunsheng looked up at the midday sun and nodded in reply. He did have something to do, so he took out a crane-beak hoe from the items he had brought from the carriage, which was used to cultivate spirit fields and plant spirit rice.

"On the sacred land of Mangshan, there are five sacred fields cultivated by the Yun family. I'm going to tidy them up. They're over there. If you need anything, Xiaolin'er, just come find me."

"Tianlong".

Mu Yunsheng spoke to Shui Lin'er and the other three women, then with a flick of his wrist, he summoned the Heavenly Dragon from his sleeve to protect them. He then took the Crane Beak hoe and headed toward the five spiritual fields cultivated by the Yun family.

The midday sun is blazing, making it the perfect time to clear the weeds from the spirit field.

"Understood, Brother Yun Sheng." Shui Lin'er and the other three girls replied, and after watching Mu Yun Sheng leave, they began to clean the courtyard where they would be staying.

With hand seals forming and true energy circulating within his body, he used cleansing or water-condensing techniques, his figure moving freely throughout the courtyard.

Stains, debris, and dead leaves were gradually removed from the courtyard.

During the cleaning process, Shui Lin'er and the other three women found some bloodstains that Mu Yunsheng and his group had not cleaned up, or the remains of Yun family members that they had not found.

The four of them were not afraid at all. They simply gathered the remains together and buried them in the soil of the sacred land of Daomang Mountain.
