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

I sorted out my thoughts again.

Li Mu had a rough idea in his mind.

After all, the situation that happened at Donglai Pass has never happened again.

Before, when I was rescuing Su Yuwei outside Yanshan City, I was too excited.

"But did I use divination at that time?"

Li Mu carefully recalled what happened that day.

At this moment, Li Mu's ears moved slightly, then he raised his head and shouted loudly: "Li Zicheng!"

At the end of the corridor, Li Wu had secretly hidden there at some point, with half of his head sticking out from behind the wall.

Hearing Li Mu's voice, he subconsciously shrank his neck, then ran to Li Mu with a smirk on his face and called out in a flattering tone:

"Second brother, we should set off. Many people in Qiuzhou City are waiting for you outside."

"wait for me?"

Li Mu was stunned and thought to himself, I don’t bully girls, right?

Then Li Wu said:

"My second brother's fights yesterday and the next few matches were a sensation. Now people say that a good father will have a good son."

Li Mu probably knew that his original plan had worked.

After Liu Minglan yesterday, Li Mu had several fights in succession.

I thought that someone like Liu Minglan, a weakling with only the third-level peak strength, was just an exception.

Unexpectedly, this is already considered the best in the competition.

Most of them are not even at the third level, and there are many fourth-level Confucian disciples who are known as geniuses.

Li Mu even felt a little embarrassed to take action.

But for the sake of the visual effect on the field, Li Mu still used an extremely slow speed at the end, together with a Confucian disciple who had just entered the third level.

After cautiously exchanging dozens of moves, he finally grabbed the man's collar and threw him out of the arena.

Li Mu finally understood why Mu Zhen was so confident.

He never even mentioned anything about the duel to Li Mu.

It seemed that as long as Li Mu stood here, the championship would definitely belong to Li Mu.

Now it seems.

I can only say that he is indeed a great scholar and has a far-sighted vision.

But Li Mu forgot that when he first met Su Yuwei, Su Yuwei was only at the peak of the third level.

You know, Su Yuwei is a peerless genius who is being trained to be the next generation successor of the Zongheng family.

Although Su Yuwei always modestly said that her qualifications were mediocre.

But at that time, Su Yuwei was already able to suppress Li Ling'er and Ying Yu, two second-level external masters.

What's more, after she met Li Mu and was promoted to the second level, even Su Yuwei's senior brother, Gongsun Guangda, who was nearly 40 years old, was no match for her.

That day outside Yanshan City, if Gongsun Guangda had not used the human wave tactic.

Dozens of third-level killers surrounded them, and Gongsun Guangda, a second-level killer, was standing by, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack at any time.

Su Yuwei would not fall into such a situation.

You know, Liu Minglan is a few years younger than Su Yuwei now.

She looked like she was going to win the championship, so she must have some confidence.

It's just that it's not good enough in Li Mu's eyes.

Li Mu smacked his lips.

Although this evaluation of "a good father will have a good son" is somewhat different from Li Mu's original plan.

Li Mu had indeed not expected that the Prince of Yan, that frivolous old man, would be so loved by all the people of Xingchao.

But this also made the name known.

What we need to do today is to establish a reputation for being trustworthy.

So that the Princess of Yan who stayed in the capital could take action.

This was also part of the plan he and Princess Yan had made.

...

"Then you guys go quickly, sister I want to go back and rest."

Seeing this, Ge Peining glanced at Li Mu, turned around and went back to her room.

"Sister Ge, a disciple of a medical family just asked me to tell you that no one in the Confucian school knows a woman named Caiwei, and the medical family has also asked around in the city, but there is no news."

At this time, Li Wu suddenly spoke out.

Ge Peining turned her head and glanced at Li Mu with a helpless expression, completely ignoring whether Li Mu could see it or not.

Li Mu frowned slightly, but said nothing.

At this time, saying thank you would seem inappropriate.

He didn't expect that Ge Peining would use her medical connections to help him find someone.

Li Mu knew that Ge Peining had a high seniority among the medical family.

When he went to the doctor's house before, Li Mu could also see that the disciples of the doctor's house also respected her very much.

But she always described herself as an unwelcome sinner in the medical field.

I won't ask any more questions about this.

Just like Ge Peining, when she heard about the strange martial arts that Li Mu was practicing, she didn't ask any questions at all.

However, just as Li Mu turned around and walked downstairs with Li Wu.

Ge Peining, who had just opened the door, stood at the door without going in. She seemed to be talking to Li Mu, or to herself:

"My parents once served in the army of King Yan. When I did something wrong, it was King Yan who came forward to protect me. I am helping you because of King Yan's face."

Li Mu listened to this incoherent sentence, and his steps paused slightly. Then he pulled a smile on the corner of his mouth and said as he walked:

"I only know that Sister Ning'er treats me well, and that's enough. As for why and for whom, it doesn't matter."

Li Mu didn't know why Ge Peining suddenly said such a thing, but his words were sincere.

"Second brother, you should tell this to Sister Ge in person."

When Li Wu heard what Li Mu said, he made an expression that said, "Don't look at me because I'm young, I know everything," and said seriously.

"You understand now? Did you go to Yiyefang last night?"

Li Mu smiled and said teasingly,

"You are still young, just take a look, but don't do anything!"

Hearing this, Li Wu's face immediately turned red like an apple. After holding it in for a long while, he finally spoke:

"That's a brothel, not a whorehouse! Miss Ruifang only sells her art, not her body, so please don't comment on it, second brother!"

"hehe!"

"What do you know, little brat? Back then, Luo You was..."

However, before Li Mu could finish his mocking words, his head seemed to be hit by a huge hammer weighing thousands of pounds.

He paused just as he was about to step out of the inn's door and almost stumbled.

"Oh my god! It's not the emperor! It's the King of Yan!"

Li Mu suddenly reacted to what Ge Peining had just said.

Not to mention, whether the wrong thing Ge Peining mentioned was the same as what Xia He said, "poisoning her husband's entire family."

But the one who saved Ge Peining was not the emperor, but the Prince of Yan!

"Yes! Yes! No one ever said it was the emperor. I inferred it myself."

Li Mu thought about it in his heart and was stunned again.

"No wonder she suddenly said that. She was trying to distance herself from me."

Although Li Mu determined from the beginning that Ge Peining was the emperor's concubine kept outside.

Although he said he wanted to keep a distance from her to avoid trouble.

But from beginning to end, Li Mu never really feared the so-called imperial power.

This may be related to his identity as a time traveler, but more importantly, his growing strength gives him confidence.

Such a seductive and beautiful mature woman, who is always by my side, caring about my well-being.

As long as you are a man, it is inevitable that you will have some thoughts.

But now this...

Ge Peining's initiative to draw a line between herself and Li Mu would of course make Li Mu a little unhappy.

But it's just unpleasant.

Although he was interested in it, Li Mu really didn't want to have any substantial development with Ge Peining.

But suddenly he found out that Ge Peining was also his "little stepmother".

Li Mu always felt a little weird.

"No, maybe the old man is just doing this for the sake of Sister Ning'er's parents."

Thinking in his mind, Li Mu wanted to get to the bottom of this matter more and more.

So, under the gaze of everyone, he walked slowly towards the saint's former residence, his expression changing from time to time.

Suddenly, Li Mu's thoughts were awakened by a name he had been thinking about day and night.

My body suddenly froze in place, and I carefully searched for the sound of this name in this noisy street.

On the street, two middle-aged men dressed as farmers were whispering:

"Your Highness will definitely win the championship this time."

"Why would you fart like that? Your Highness, the Crown Prince is the son of the King of Yan!"

"I mean, the only person in the Confucian school who could fight against the prince, I heard he entered the third floor yesterday."

"Third floor?"

"Yes, the third floor! I heard that it contains the inheritance left by hundreds of sages. Those who pass the test can realize any wish."

"I remember now. Yesterday at the Saint's Residence, I heard that a girl also went in. Her name was... something like Caiwei."

"..."

"Tell me again, what's that girl's name?"

In the middle of the street, Li Mu's figure suddenly disappeared.
