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

"How ridiculous! Senior, your preface doesn't make sense... huh?"

Li Mu's expression froze, he looked up at Qiu He, tried to force a smile on his face, and said shamelessly:

"The contributions that you have made to the human race are unprecedented. It's ridiculous that there are still people who misunderstand you."

Li Mu's look was extremely solemn, his expression more serious than ever before.

The corners of Qiu He's mouth twitched. He was silent for a long while before he sighed, "Fortunately, you are not my Confucian disciple."

Ge Peining was also behind Li Mu. She gently pulled Li Mu's sleeve and whispered, "Husband, husband."

Hearing Ge Peining's voice, Li Mu patted the back of Ge Peining's hand without turning his head, and said with a smile: "Sister Ning'er, you said what I said was right, right?"

Hearing this, Ge Peining closed her eyes and rested her head heavily on Li Mu's back, looking as if she had never been so embarrassed in her life and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Senior, you just said there is a way for us to get out?"

Li Mu asked with a smile and a flattering tone.

He completely ignored the contempt of the two people.

As a scholar, Qiu He obviously couldn't stand Li Mu's expression, so he waved his hand and said:

"Are you good at mathematics?"

"Why, you can go out just by doing a test paper?"

Li Mu complained in his heart, but thought that mathematics taught by the ancients should not be that difficult.

Things like putting chickens and rabbits in the same cage and drinking cups by the river are all child's play.

He patted his chest and assured: "I dare not say that I am proficient, I can only say... I was quite proficient at that time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ge Peining behind him burst into laughter, then quickly covered her mouth, her body trembling, making a "kukuku" sound.

"Boy, don't be so confident."

Qiu He glanced at Li Mu calmly, then turned and walked out the door.

"follow me."

Seeing this, Li Mu turned around and looked at Ge Peining: "Sister Ning'er, you are here..."

However, Ge Peining was seen pulling her sleeves, looking up, her eyes full of determination.

"I'm not used to you staying here. I can't even have a full meal without you by my side."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said."

Ge Peining's eyebrows curved. Although she said so, it was obvious that Li Mu's words were extremely useful to her.

Li Mu took Ge Peining's hand and walked out of the house.

Originally, with Qiu He around, Ge Peining would definitely not be able to accept such a bold move.

But Li Mu was too thick-skinned and he had no choice but to obey.

As soon as I arrived in the yard, I saw Qiu He slowly raise his right foot, and then stomped it heavily on the ground.

In an instant, the world twisted and rotated vertically ninety degrees.

The reflection of the pear trees on the stream outside the yard slowly merged with the pear trees in the yard, forming a path.

"Follow."

Qiu He raised his foot and the next moment he appeared on the pear tree, his figure slowly sinking into the stream.

When Li Mu saw Qiu He's reflection in the stream, he did not hesitate and pulled Ge Peining to follow.

"Senior, what is this?"

Li Mu looked around and saw a scene that was completely opposite to what he had just seen, so he asked.

"This was originally my residence. Since you and this girl are newly married, I will give it to you to live in."

Qiu He said without turning his head.

“I didn’t ask that…”

Li Mu was speechless. He always felt that Qiu He said it on purpose for him to hear.

Obviously, he was still brooding over the conflict between him and Li Mu before.

"Senior, you are so kind to me. I am so terrified."

Li Mu said while trying to suppress his nausea.

Hearing this, Qiu He chuckled and asked:

"Boy, do you know what Xun Meng is?"

Li Mu thought about it and said uncertainly: "Children's education?"

Qiu He nodded slightly: "Practice makes wisdom grow and the mind mature."

Li Mu frowned after hearing these confusing words and asked:

"Forgive my ignorance, I don't know what this means, and how does it relate to the method of getting out of here?"

"The mind is cultivated after birth, and education develops into maturity. I just sighed casually, and it has nothing to do with the method of getting out."

Qiu He raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of amusement and turned to glance at Li Mu.

“You’re…”

Li Mu was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he couldn't vent his anger. He suppressed his anger and followed Qiu He without asking any more questions.

"Sir, these two sentences are the views of Confucian enlightenment, and they should be related to this training."

At this time, Ge Peining, who had been following Li Mu silently, saw Li Mu being humiliated and spoke up to remind him.

"Sister Ning'er is really knowledgeable."

Hearing Li Mu's flattery, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across Ge Peining's face, and she forced herself not to say that this was common sense.

"The little girl does have some knowledge, but I was just exclaiming casually, and it has nothing to do with the method of getting out."

Qiu He raised his head and lowered his eyes, generously admitting that he was just teasing Li Mu, then pointed to the pear tree courtyard in the distance and said,

"arrive."

Li Mu saw the familiar courtyard at this time and was stunned for a moment, "How come I'm back here after going around in a circle?"

However, Qiu He was obviously not going to explain to Li Mu, and changed the subject:

"As long as you become the new master of this training, you can come and go freely here."

Qiu He raised his hand and pointed to the small courtyard in front:

"This Xunmeng was originally a scroll. After being enlightened by its previous owner, it has become a small world of its own. If it wants to choose a master, it must be approved by the current owner. Xunmeng will test itself. If it answers all the questions correctly, it will naturally become the new master of Xunmeng."

Li Mu could understand this, "But why is it a math test? If this is about copying poems, I would make this magic weapon kneel down and call me daddy."

Li Mu showed doubt in his eyes. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard Qiu He say:

"Don't doubt it. Once the direction of the assessment is set, it will not be changed unless someone passes it."

Li Mu understood the meaning of these words, and it was obvious that he was not the first person to come here.

Seeing this, Li Mu had nothing to hesitate about. He gave Ge Peining a reassuring look and walked towards the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Qiu He called Li Mu:

"Boy, I'm a little curious. You should know that you can enter here but not leave. You don't seek the great way, and you don't have any obsessions. Why do you come here?"

Li Mu glanced at Ge Peining from the corner of his eye, but did not answer directly. He smiled and said:

"I will come out and discuss these matters with you later."

After saying that, he walked towards the yard without looking back.

However, before Li Mu took two steps, he heard Qiu He's voice behind him again:

"and many more!"

"Is it possible that you, Senior, are reluctant to part with it again..."

Li Mu turned around and shrugged.

"Boy, I see that you are not a reckless person. If you knew that you couldn't get out of here, you must have kept a backup plan. Why not..."

"No need! I'm not afraid of being laughed at by my seniors. I originally thought this was just a maze of ruins. I won't mention my so-called backup plan."

Li Mu looked at Qiu He, and his heart moved. He opened his mouth to test,

"Is there any danger in this test?"

Qiu He pondered for a while, then sighed and said, "Actually, nine hundred years is not that long..."

"senior!"

"Once the assessment begins, it will not stop. Those who fail the assessment will become disciples of Xunmeng and stay here forever until their lifespan runs out."

Hearing this, Li Mu bowed to Qiu He and said, "Thank you for your reminder, senior."

Then he turned around and strode into the yard.

Ge Peining looked at Li Mu's back, opened her mouth, but said nothing.

...

In the small courtyard, Li Mu was already beaming with joy as he looked at the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage floating in the air.

He stretched his neck slightly and said with a smile: "I'll let you natives know how powerful my nine years of compulsory education is."

Li Mu answered more than a dozen questions correctly, from elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Although he spent some time reviewing the questions, he answered them effortlessly.

Even started to feel secretly happy,

"Wow, a space magic weapon..."

However, before Li Mu could finish his boasting, when he saw the next question, the smile on his face suddenly froze. He was stunned for a long while and cursed:

"I, I, I'm going to die!"
