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

Li Mu enjoyed it very much. He accepted the admiring gazes of the two girls and jumped off the carriage.

He looked up and saw the plaque on the city gate in front of him, with the three characters "Shiju City" written on it, and asked curiously:

"Xiao Wu, I heard you say this place is called Mo City?"

Li Wu was relieved to see that Li Mu finally stopped calling him "senior brother". He then saw the plaque on the city gate tower and quickly explained:

"Second brother, you may not know that the headquarters of Mohism, one of the two most prominent schools of thought today, is in Shiju City. That's why people prefer to call this place Mo City."

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile:

"It seems that the Mohists are more powerful than the Confucians. No one calls Jing'an City a Confucian City."

Although Li Mu said it casually, Li Wu broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly advised:

"Brother, please don't joke around. Jing'an City is the capital of our Xing Dynasty. Let's talk about this in private. No, don't talk about it in private anymore, lest others hear it and cause trouble."

As they were talking, the two walked to Mu Zhen's carriage. Li Mu shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he understood, and got on the carriage first.

"Teacher, what have you gained from your three days of meditation?"

Li Mu saw Mu Zhen kneeling in front of the low table, bowed and asked.

Mu Zhen waved his hand, motioning Li Mu to sit down and talk, and said lightly:

"It's just a sudden realization, but nothing special."

Li Mu couldn't stand this kneeling posture, so he just sat down cross-legged and asked:

"I wonder what the teacher wants from his disciple?"

Seeing Li Mu's carefree look, Mu Zhen smiled and shook his head:

"Now that we have arrived in Shiju City, I want to visit an old friend. Are you willing to go with me, Prince?"

When Li Mu heard Mu Zhen's words, he secretly complained.

"Now that you've said that, can I still say I don't want to?"

Then he said politely:

"Teacher, just call me by my name. Calling me Prince all the time makes it seem like we are a teacher and a disciple."

Hearing this, Mu Zhen raised his head and laughed twice, then pointed at Li Mu.

"Hahaha, you and Zicheng don't behave like my disciples at all. But when I think about it, they are more in line with my philosophy."

Mu Zhen stroked his beard, thought for a moment and asked:

"Do you have a courtesy name?"

"Bitch? Luo You? There was one, but she's dead!"

When Li Mu heard these two words, he was stunned. For some reason, a bunch of messy thoughts came to his mind, and then he shook his head.

Mu Zhen seemed a little puzzled and muttered quietly:

"At this age, you don't even have a courtesy name."

Then he seemed to remember something, nodded, and said:

"Then how about I give you a name? According to your generation, the first character in the human sect should be "Shan". What is your Taoist name?"

Hearing this, Li Mu roughly understood that Mu Zhenying wanted to refer to his Taoist name to choose a courtesy name for him.

But he didn’t have a Taoist name, so he waved his hand and said:

"Don't mention the past anymore. Just think of something nice for the students."

In fact, Li Mu also had some expectations in his heart. Think about those celebrities in history, whose courtesy names were so domineering, such as Meng De.

Mu Zhen nodded slightly, looked up at the ceiling, and said lightly:

"Li Wu, courtesy name Zicheng, you are his elder brother, so why not marry a son for you?"

Hearing this, Li Mu almost staggered and shook his head:

"Teacher, this word is unacceptable to students."

Mu Zhen thought Li Mu disliked him, so he called several more names that Li Mu was very familiar with.

Li Mu was so upset after hearing this that he started to wonder if this old man was also a time traveler and was deliberately trying to make fun of him.

Seeing that Li Mu was not satisfied with several courtesy names in a row, Mu Zhen's face also looked a little unhappy, and he said in a slightly angry tone:

"The courtesy name was originally given by the elders. You are so picky. You are acting like a disciple."

As he spoke, he glanced at the black robe Li Mu was wearing and waved his hand, saying:

"Qingyi, Li Qingyi, it's settled!"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Zhen waved his hand, and a gentle stream of true energy directly sent Li Mu out of the carriage.

"Let's go into the city first and find an inn to stay in. Later, you two can go with me to visit the old friend's house."

Li Mu listened to the voice coming from the carriage and felt a little annoyed. He thought to himself, Zifang is actually not a bad person.

"Brother, what did the teacher say to you? Why do you feel a little angry?"

Li Mu glared at Li Wu who suddenly asked the question, and walked towards his carriage:

"Don't ask about adults' affairs."

. . . . . .

Shortly after.

The largest inn in Shiju City.

From the guest room, a woman's laughter as sweet as a silver bell was heard.

Li Mu held his forehead with his hand and looked at the two girls in front of him, one blue and one red. They were as beautiful as flowers, but their faces looked bitter.

"My husband didn't even frown when facing the siege of the noble families and the Ran slaves, but he actually sighed like this because of a courtesy name."

Su Yuwei helped Xiao Zhao pack her luggage, walked to Li Mu's side, put her elbows on Li Mu's shoulders, leaned over and teased.

Li Mu was still a little angry and said depressedly:

"This old man Mu, this is something that concerns my whole life, and he is so careless. No, I have to go talk to him again."

Seeing Li Mu being so childish, Su Yuwei couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and pushed Li Mu back to his seat, and her delicate hands took the opportunity to hold Li Mu's shoulders.

"Li Qingyi, I think it sounds nice and is a perfect match for you, young master."

Xiao Zhao, who was standing by, stared at the other person's big round eyes and said sincerely.

Hearing this, Li Mu felt a little better. He simply lay down on the table and seriously enjoyed Su Yuwei's massage.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, followed by Li Wu's childish voice.

"Brother, the teacher said we can set off now."

Li Mu responded and turned his head to look at the wooden box containing Zhishui on the table. He hesitated for a moment but still did not reach out to take it.

I wondered if it would be inappropriate to go to someone else's house as a guest carrying weapons.

But when Su Yuwei saw that Li Mu was about to leave, she picked up the wooden box and forced it onto Li Mu's back despite Li Mu's objection. She then helped Li Mu straighten his collar before speaking:

"You'd better be careful when you go out. We'll wait for you to come back."

Xiao Zhao, who was standing by, also nodded and said "hmm".

Li Muxin said,

"It's a good thing you didn't say 'Me too'."

Then he remembered Ying Yu who insisted on living alone, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Go call Ying Yu over. The three of you will stay together tonight."

After saying that, he pushed the door and left the room.

Su Yuwei covered her mouth and chuckled: "My husband is quite considerate."

Outside the door, Li Wu saw the wooden box behind Li Mu and asked in confusion:

"Does Second Brother need to carry weapons when he goes out?"

Li Muxin said,

"This is all love, you little kid, you don't understand shit!"

He ignored her and went downstairs.

"The teacher is already in the carriage downstairs. Hey, second brother, wait for me."

Seeing that he had been turned down, Li Wu hurriedly caught up with Li Mu, shouting.

----

About half an hour passed.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of a government building.

However, this short hour once again opened Li Mu's eyes.

It turned out that Mu Zhen's carriage could actually be controlled by Qi.

Master Mu was able to control the carriage from inside. Li Mu observed for a whole hour but could not figure out the trick.

During this period, I wanted to try it myself several times, but when I remembered Li Linger's instructions, I gave up the idea.

When the carriage stopped, Li Mu and Li Wu got off one after another.

Then the carriage trembled slightly, and a wheelchair covered with silk flew down from the top of the carriage and stopped at the front.

At this time, two young men dressed as warriors ran out of the mansion.

He glanced at the wheelchair in front of the carriage, and was obviously shocked. He saluted respectfully and said:

"Junior, I am honored to meet the great scholar Mu Zhen. The great scholar has been waiting for you in the mansion for a long time."
