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

Li Ling'er was stunned at first, then she carefully considered Li Mu's words, and then burst out laughing.

"Not bad, it has more of the flavor of my Prince Yan's Mansion. Why not change its name to 'Reason'?"

Li Mu saw Li Ling'er's blooming smile, then looked down at the Shishui Mace in his hand, slightly absent-minded.

“Are they being too nice to me?”

Then he shook his head and said,

"Forget it, Shisui is a good name."

At this time, the maid's voice came from outside the house.

"Miss Third, the Fourth Master is outside the courtyard and wants to see you."

Li Linger frowned slightly and said solemnly,

"He is becoming more and more unruly. How can a man like him come to this inner courtyard?"

Then he instructed the maid outside the hall,

"Tell him to wait for me in the study."

The corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched, and he felt that what Li Ling'er said was strange.

"Does she think of herself as a sister?"

Li Linger saw the maid walking away, turned to look at Li Mu, a smile on her face again, her voice gentle,

"As for the name, you can call me whatever you like, brother."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, pointed at the bamboo slips in Li Mu's hand, hesitated for a moment, and his expression became a little embarrassed.

"This set of mace techniques is called 'Kang Long You Hui'. It focuses on defeating the enemy, not killing him."

While speaking, he kept his eyes on Li Mu's expression. Seeing that Li Mu did not show any abnormality, he continued to explain,

"I know this doesn't suit my second brother, but it's the best way I can find."

When Li Mu heard this name, he couldn't help but think of a TV series he had watched before traveling through time, and thought to himself,

"The name is indeed impressive, but it's a pity that there is no sound system, so it lacks some flavor."

Seeing Li Ling'er looking as if she was afraid that she would not like it, she hurriedly said,

"That's great. I was just worrying about how I always go too far when hitting people. I just felt sleepy and you sent me a pillow."

When Li Ling'er heard Li Mu's metaphor, she felt like he was hinting at something, but she was still very happy to hear Li Mu say that he liked the gift she gave him.

He ran to Li Mu and assured him with a little pride,

"I know that my second brother's major is the internal martial arts. Although the Prince of Yan's Mansion does not have it, I have already written to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother loves me the most."

As he spoke, he patted his chest.

"There are countless martial arts secret manuals hidden in the palace. I also know one called Qian Wu. I heard that it was practiced by the emperor of the previous dynasty. It must be very powerful. Don't worry, I will ask for it for my second brother when the time comes."

Li Mu's heart moved.

"I'm afraid this is the Qian Yuan Liu Wu."

He was just about to explain to Li Ling'er that he already knew how to do it and there was no need to bother him anymore.

Li Ling'er had already walked out of the hall and turned to Li Mu and said,

"Brother seldom comes to this inner courtyard, I'll go see what Xiao Wu is doing, you can just wander around here."

Li Mu felt that this girl seemed to have a bit of double standards, or she really didn't consider herself a man.

He simply didn't mention the fact that he knew "Qian Yuan Liu Wu".

It seems that this Kung Fu should have some origin. Zhao Chuyi taught it to him, so he naturally cannot teach it to others.

But if Li Ling'er could really get it from the Queen, she could let the girls in the mansion learn it. As the saying goes, it's always good to have many skills.

He then caught up with Li Ling'er, as the doctor from the city had not yet arrived.

Li Mu still wanted to see if he could find out Mu Zhen’s real purpose from Li Wu.

Although Li Mu said that he was just going out for a trip, even a fool would know that things would not be that simple.

Along the way, Li Ling'er asked Li Mu about what happened on his way to Donglai Pass.

Li Mu picked out some stories about his chivalrous deeds and punishing evildoers, and then added his own embellishments and told them to Li Ling'er in a vivid way.

Li Ling'er was so envious upon hearing this that stars appeared in her eyes and her gaze towards Li Mu gradually turned peach-colored.

Although the two of them deliberately slowed down their pace, they still quickly arrived at the study in the palace.

This is where Li Linger usually works.

Although it is said that this is Li Linger's office, in fact, it is Xu Youzhi who is here most of the time.

Li Ling'er came here probably just to pretend and show off to her subordinates.

The maid opened the door of the study for the two of them.

"You are not in the academy at this time. What do you want from me?"

As soon as Li Ling'er saw Li Wu, she changed into her usual cold and aloof look and asked in a serious tone.

Li Wu lowered his head, stole a glance at Li Ling'er, clenched his fist hidden in his sleeve, and stammered,

"Actually, I'm looking for my second brother. My teacher asked me to talk to him about going to Saint Residence."

Hearing this, Li Linger took a step sideways and blocked Li Mu behind her, speaking in a slightly angry tone.

"I told you, your second brother isn't going anywhere."

Hearing this, Li Mu patted Li Ling'er on the shoulder and signaled her to stay calm.

"Xiao Wu, what exactly is this Saint Residence for?"

Without waiting for Li Wu to answer, Li Linger crossed her arms and said angrily, not caring about pretending in front of Li Wu.

"What else can I do? That old man Mu insisted on accepting you as his disciple at this time. He definitely wants you to support him at the Fengxue Yaji."

As if getting angrier the more she thought about it, Li Linger couldn't help stamping her feet and cursing,

"That old man Mu is really good at calculating. He hasn't accepted any disciples in all these years. Now he not only accepted Xiao Wu, but also set his sights on my second brother."

Li Wu, who was standing by, almost dropped his jaw when he saw Li Ling'er like this.

In his eyes, the third sister has always been the cold and aloof female warrior who has the final say. He has never seen Li Ling'er behave like a girl.

Then he slowly turned his gaze towards Li Mu, with undisguised admiration in his eyes, and thought to himself,

"Second brother is truly a god. Even third sister is completely subdued by him."

"A Gathering of Wind and Snow? What is that?"

After hearing Li Mu's question, Li Wu came back to his senses and hurriedly explained before Li Ling'er.

"Every year, as the end of the year approaches, Confucian scholars scattered across the country will go to the Sage's Residence, gather together, recite poems, and discuss knowledge. Gradually, this gathering has become a tradition, and it is called the Fengxue Yaji."

Hearing this, Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"Does Old Man Mu want me to write a poem?"

Thinking of this, Li Mu's face gradually turned ugly.

"I'm fine with copying poems, but if I have to write poems on a real topic, I'm afraid my ink won't be enough."

Immediately, I thought of

"Anyway, I only agreed to go, but I didn't agree to perform well. Even if I'm embarrassed, Old Man Mu can't blame me."

Thinking of this, Li Mu looked at Li Ling'er and asked in confusion,

"It's just a poetry reading, just treat it as a trip, there's no need to react so strongly."

Li Linger frowned her pretty little eyebrows, her cheeks puffed up slightly, tears welled up in her eyes, as if she had been cheated by a scumbag. Her voice was soft and aggrieved,

"You clearly promised me before, so now it doesn't count?"

Li Mu saw Li Ling'er's expression and heard these words, and immediately frowned. Thinking that Li Wu was still beside him, he quickly asked,

"What did I promise you that won't count?"

Seeing that Li Mu had really forgotten, Li Ling'er was so angry that she clenched her fist and punched Li Mu's chest, saying as she hit him,

"You just promised not to fight anyone casually, let alone use your true energy, but you forgot about it in the blink of an eye. Forget it, I don't care what you do, you'd better go crazy right now, and I won't care about you anymore."

Although Li Mu understood what Li Ling'er said, he couldn't connect it with this matter.

Feeling the pain in his chest from being hit by Li Linger, he subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath to block it, but after he came to his senses, he quickly suppressed the impulse.

Seeing that Li Ling'er had no intention of stopping and was getting more and more excited, Li Mu raised his hand and held Li Ling'er's wrist with one hand.

However, Li Ling'er was still not obedient, so Li Mu simply put his other hand through her waist and pulled her back into his arms.

When Li Ling'er was hugged by Li Mu, she hummed softly and stopped struggling. She just let Li Mu hold her, collapsing in his arms without saying a word.

Li Mu then looked at the stunned Li Wu and signaled with his eyes, "What's going on? Explain it."

Li Wu saw Li Mu looking at him, and quickly came back to his senses. He coughed twice, then felt something was wrong, turned his head to the side, and said seriously,

"The teacher is looking for my second brother, actually he is going to compete in martial arts."
