I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Li Linger saw the look Li Mu was giving her and nodded slightly. She then glanced at Li Wu who was still kneeling on the ground, indicating that they should solve the problem at hand first.

Li Mu understood and stepped forward to help the boy up: "Xiao Wu, right? Second brother doesn't have that kind of habit, don't worry. Have you finished your homework? Go back and do your homework."

The young man looked at the gentle smile on Li Mu's face and grinned: "I feel relieved if Second Brother doesn't blame me. Thank you, Second Brother."

After getting Li Mu's forgiveness, Li Wu hurriedly turned around to look at Li Ling'er. Seeing Li Ling'er nod, she turned around and ran out of the side hall, disappearing in an instant.

"Although Tiechui is a book boy, he and Xiaowu grew up together. Besides, he was afraid of hurting you, so he only dared to set fire to the empty woodshed at night. Don't take it to heart."

Hearing what Li Ling'er said, Li Mu didn't take it to heart at all. He had looked at the firewood room, which was all alone in an open space, so he could burn it for as long as he wanted.

If Li Linger hadn't suddenly run over, he would probably have thought that the place was just a ruin that had been burned by fire.

Li Mu naturally didn't care about the naughty kid's ruining the family, but asked, "What's going on with Manager Chang? And those chattering servants, have you figured out who they are?"

Li Ling'er looked at Li Mu with relief, thinking: "This pervert still has some brains, so he is not hopeless."

But he did not directly answer Li Mu's question, but asked: "Why didn't you eat breakfast? Didn't it suit your appetite?"

Li Mu felt a little conflicted when he heard this.

"Now that this violent girl already knows about the poisoned food, there's no need for me to reveal too many of my cards."

"Indeed, I prefer a lighter breakfast." Li Mu didn't want to dwell on this question, so he answered it casually and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Dead, they all died after breakfast. The poison has been checked by a trusted doctor in the mansion. It will take effect after a few moments of ingestion, and even gods cannot cure it."

Li Ling'er was obviously a little skeptical about what Li Mu said, but she did not pursue it too much. Instead, she answered Li Mu's questions.

But when Li Mu heard this, he frowned and asked anxiously:

"What are the symptoms of poisoning?"

Li Ling'er looked puzzled, not understanding why Li Mu cared about this, but she did not hide it, but said with a little impatience:

"I asked other people who were present at the time. Manager Chang only took two bites of food. Within ten breaths, he vomited black blood and died without even struggling."

Li Mu recalled the scene he saw in his mind.

"I clearly only saw the vomiting scene, not the vomiting of blood. Is it possible that I remembered it wrongly, or is the scene incomplete?"

Just as he was about to ask, he saw Li Linger stand up and wave her hand: "I will investigate this matter, you go back and continue reading."

He emphasized the word "read" very heavily and did not conceal the contempt in his eyes at all.

Li Mu knew that Li Ling'er didn't want him to get involved in this matter, but he also didn't want this opportunity to obtain intelligence to be wasted.

He quickly put on a flattering smile, stood up and took Li Ling'er's hand: "Lady, Ling'er, Ling'er sister, wait a moment, I have something else I want to ask you."

Li Linger pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, and glared at Li Mu fiercely, but she couldn't get angry either. She looked at Li Mu with gritted teeth, and after a long while, she only uttered one word:

"Say!"

When Li Mu saw Li Ling'er's reaction, he realized that his actions just now were inappropriate, but he didn't have time to dwell on them. He smiled and said to Li Ling'er:

"I want to ask some questions about martial arts."

"You want to practice martial arts? There's no need, and it's too late."

Li Ling'er didn't wait for Li Mu to finish speaking, she looked Li Mu up and down and interrupted him.

"Besides, even if you can, you can't find someone to teach you. The training in the palace is different from that of Taoism. You don't have a foundation in Taoism. It's better if you don't fight. If you fight, you will be exposed soon."

After saying this, Li Linger sighed silently, turned around and sat back in her chair, and continued in a heavy tone:

"People in the city are already talking about the assassination attempt on my way down the mountain and the killing of dozens of level three assassins. There must be someone behind this who is fanning the flames."

Li Linger frowned her beautiful eyebrows, looking at her toes, as if talking to herself: "That's why I spread the word in the mansion that you were injured. I don't know how long I can keep it a secret. If my father can."

Having said this, Li Linger paused, glanced at Li Mu, and did not continue speaking.

Li Mu was also anxious when he heard this.

"This girl's thinking is a little off the track. She doesn't understand the importance of teamwork at all. She's acting like she's going to take on everything. I don't know whether I should feel sorry for her or call her stupid."

Looking at the girl in front of him, who looked exhausted both physically and mentally, Li Mu didn't know what to do. He was unable to take care of himself at the moment, so it was not the time to act bravely.

"I just want to learn some common sense about martial arts. Otherwise, I don't know anything and it would be easy to be exposed if I don't fight with others."

After hearing Li Mu's words, Li Ling'er came back to her senses. Thinking about her performance just now, she felt annoyed.

After thinking for a moment, he felt that what Li Mu said made sense, so he started teaching Li Mu the basic martial arts courses.

This lecture lasted until late at night.

The maid came to remind them to have dinner, but was also sent away by Li Mu. Li Ling'er was so angry that she rolled her eyes at Li Mu.

"That's it, you can go back now."

Li Linger looked at Li Mu who was listening attentively in front of her and thought:

"This pervert is asking these questions because he wants to get closer to me. I'll test you tomorrow. If you don't remember anything, you're done."

Li Mu naturally didn't know about Li Ling'er's slander against him at the moment. He was concentrating on sorting out what he had heard today. He nodded and left the side hall.

Basically, most of the content is consistent with what I got from Xiao Zhao before.

However, Li Ling'er is a professional after all, so her narration is relatively more written.

Among them, what made Li Mu most happy was that he got some information about the first level of body refining.

Xiao Zhao was right. The first stage of body training is to train the internal organs.

Li Ling'er said that if one cultivates the body to the extreme, one can be immune to cold or heat, and all poisons.

However, when Li Mu asked why it was a legend, Li Ling'er looked at Li Mu as if he was a fool.

Li Mu still remembered her original words, "There are many people who are at the first level of body refining, but I have never seen anyone who is immune to all poisons. My father is at the first level, but he can drink more than others, nothing special."

Li Mu then realized that although body refining is the foundation, few people really take it as their main focus. King Yan is a very rare example.

It was just because Li Mu had made a mistake before. There were no so-called hexagonal warriors among the military men of the Xing Dynasty.

Usually, after martial artists have refined their bodies to the third level, they will focus on internal or external martial arts, and stick to one path from then on.

There are also very few geniuses who cultivate both internal and external skills, and can cultivate both internal and external skills to the first level at the same time.

In the past hundred years, many geniuses who practiced both arts emerged, but there was no one who could cultivate the body, internal and external arts to the first level at the same time.

Thinking about things in his mind, he soon walked back to the courtyard where he lived.

At the gate of the courtyard stood a graceful figure.

"Sir, you are back."

Xiao Zhao saw Li Mu walking alone and trotted over to meet him.

"Why don't you rest?"

Li Mu looked up at the moon in the sky, then looked at Xiao Zhao who was jogging towards him, and his heart felt slightly warmed.

"Xiao Zhao must wait for the young master to rest before Xiao Zhao can rest."

Xiao Zhao felt the concern in Li Mu's tone, her heart fluttering, and she answered softly.

Then, Li Mu took Xiao Zhao's tender little hand, and the two walked into the house side by side.

Back in the room, Li Mu yawned, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and began to think.

Xiao Zhao saw Li Mu return to the room and walked straight to the bed, his palms sweating from nervousness.

Before he could think of anything wild, he saw Li Mu leaning back with his head and eyes closed, completely ignoring him.

She didn't know whether she felt relieved or lost. After taking a long breath, she stamped her feet, turned off the lights, undressed, and walked towards the couch.

Li Mu, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes slightly, looked at the blurry figure of the girl, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

For some reason, when I saw the girl running towards me outside the courtyard just now, I felt a strange emotion in my heart.

"She is a girl who makes men want to protect her, and she can use an axe."

Li Mu shook his head violently and turned to face the wall.
