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

Hearing this, Li Mu looked anxious and asked:

"Then what's their strength?"

"At least they are all top-notch in their respective fields. For example, I heard that the inner strength of the great scholar Mu Zhen had reached the first level more than ten years ago."

As he spoke, he spread his hands in front of Li Mu, his cheeks puffed up slightly.

"You also took someone else's experience. I almost forgot about it. Let me see it."

Li Mu was annoyed and hit Li Linger's palm.

"I'll ask Xiao Zhao to copy a copy for you later. I gave the original copy to Xiao Zhao."

Li Ling'er pulled back her hand as if she had been electrocuted. She rolled her beautiful eyes at Li Mu, but she felt a little jealous, thinking that Li Mu was willing to give such a precious thing to a maid. Then she snorted.

"Hmph, who cares?"

Then, as if he had thought of something, he said in an uncertain tone:

“Oh, by the way, I seem to remember that my aunt said that a long time ago, there was a strong man who cultivated both inside and outside, and finally entered the rank by three means.”

As she spoke, Li Linger pursed her lips, her eyes unconsciously looking at the table, her brows tightly knitted together.

"I can't remember, anyway, I have reached the first level, I don't know if it's true or not."

As she spoke, Li Ling'er relaxed her frown and looked at Li Mu with a smile.

"How can there be such a powerful person? I think he must be lying."

Hearing this, Li Mu seemed to have grasped something and asked in confusion:

"Enter the grade? What do you mean by enter the grade?"

Li Mu was certain that there was absolutely no such record in the bamboo slips he had read before, and he had never heard Li Ling'er and the others mention it before.

"Ninth rank, entering the ninth rank, I don't know exactly, but it means very powerful anyway."

"If you cultivate all of them to the first level, you will reach the ninth level."

Thinking of this, Li Mu spoke hurriedly.

"What about the eighth and seventh rank?"

"It's the ninth rank. I've never heard of the eighth rank or the seventh rank. You're so annoying. You just ask weird questions."

As she spoke, Li Linger looked at Li Mu impatiently.

"Can you please not be so ambitious? This kind of legend is just for fun, why are you so excited?"

As he spoke, he prepared to get up and leave.

It has now been confirmed that Li Mu at least has a certain talent in body training, and he is not going to waste any more time.

Seeing this, Li Mu pushed Li Ling'er back to the chair.

"I haven't heard of anything after the Ninth Rank. No, or should I say, there is no record of anything. But it is called the Ninth Rank. This itself is irrational."

"The history books of this country only record the past two hundred years. The period before that is completely blank. This is even more unreasonable."

"The martial arts classification that we know of so far is like, it's like it was originally just level one, but it was forcibly classified and named, so the different stages are so difficult to distinguish. If they were originally the same level, this would make sense."

"Are you okay?"

At this time, Li Linger opened it with disgust. Li Mu put his hand on her shoulder and stared at Li Mu with unfriendly eyes.

Li Mu was interrupted and froze for a moment before quickly putting on a smile.

"Let's get down to business."

Li Mu rubbed his slightly red hands that were slapped by Li Ling'er, and said seriously:

"How was your exploration on the roof just now?"

Li Linger looked at Li Mu with an unpleasant expression, as if to say, "You continue to act."

"How dare you say that? You're taking me for a fool just for a vixen!"

Then, Li Mu frowned and thought

"Did I really hear it wrong?"

"No trace at all? Maybe he ran away."

"I may make mistakes, but Xiaoyu will definitely not. If someone has been there before, Xiaoyu will definitely find out."

Li Linger had an expression that said, "Don't treat me like a fool."

"And Xiaoyu has been outside the house. How could she not see someone on the roof? Put away your little tricks. Do you really think I'm so easy to fool?"

Hearing this, Li Mu no longer dwelled on the matter. He thought that maybe he really was wrong. It was not uncommon for him to have the feeling that there was someone behind the scenes. It was most likely a psychological effect.

Li Mu comforted himself in his heart and then got down to business:

"What do you think of the Lin family's plan?"

When Li Mu suddenly mentioned this topic, Li Ling'er's face flashed with panic, but she concealed it well, raised her chin, and said arrogantly:

"I have my own plans, but now is not the time to tell you."

Li Mu's mouth twitched, thinking

"Miss, what time is it? Can't our little female cat's temper flare up at another time?"

But he said seriously:

"What I mean is that Su Yuwei's words may be true, but the authenticity of the information she received is still uncertain. What is certain is that the Lin family has a big plan. Tell us what plan you have, and let's sit down and discuss it."

Hearing this, Li Linger stood up, turned around and walked out the door, her tone calm,

"Okay, I will tell you the plan later. Aren't you worried about your little lover? I don't have time to deal with her now. Are you satisfied?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ling'er had already left the study.

Li Mu looked at Li Ling'er who left in a hurry, feeling disdainful.

"This girl is unreliable no matter how you look at it. It's better to take Xiao Zhao and leave the Northland. Her family is in a hurry, but she is not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry?"

Then he stood up and walked towards the woodshed.

Jing'an City, the Imperial Palace, a magnificent palace.

"Hahahahahaha, good, good, good. I will issue an edict right away to confer a title on this boy. I wonder what those old guys will have to say."

The middle-aged man wearing a black dragon robe and with a heroic appearance laughed.

"Your Majesty, what about the Lin family?"

The old eunuch at the side spoke with a hoarse voice and a tentative tone.

"Let Zou Pu personally lead another team of Ice Guards to Yanshan. Keep the spies informed. As long as the evidence is complete, there is no need to report."

The emperor spoke in a low voice, touched the jade ring on his hand, and said to himself:

"I hope there won't be any trouble."

Hearing this, the old eunuch beside him hurriedly lowered his head, looked at his nose and his heart, and walked quickly out of the hall.

Yanshan City, Royal Palace,

In the pavilion in the lake of the inner house.

"Stop laughing! I'm getting so anxious."

Li Linger looked at the girl in front of her with displeasure.

The girl was wearing an emerald green silk dress and a simple jade hairpin on her head. She had a pretty face and a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, which danced along with her laughter.

"Don't you usually dress well? That icy look makes me shiver when I see it."

As she spoke, the girl winked at Li Ling'er and said teasingly:

"Why do I lose my power as soon as I see my second brother?"

Hearing this, Li Linger blushed and begged for mercy.

"Okay, okay, just laugh. I'm just a laborer anyway. I'm helpless now. I'll bring that pervert here in a bit, and you can laugh in front of him."

"It's okay if Youzhi is wrong."

Xu Youzhi put on an expression of admitting her fault and looked at Li Linger pitifully.

"He's right. No matter what the Lin family's intentions are, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

As she spoke, Xu Youzhi looked towards the west.

"Su Yuwei's words should have reached your majesty's ears word for word by now. We need an opportunity right now."

Xu Youzhi turned around and looked at Li Linger sharply.

"An opportunity for the Lin family to make mistakes on their own initiative."

Then, he smiled and raised his eyebrows at Li Linger.

"I, a little girl who never leaves the house, can't understand this kind of thing. You can go find him."

"he?"

"He's so stupid, what else can he do besides teasing the maids?"

Hearing this, Li Linger stared at Xu Youzhi in disbelief, not understanding why she said that.

Seeing this, Xu Youzhi playfully stuck out her tongue at Li Linger, then stood up and pushed her out of the pavilion.

"My silly sister, he is not silly!"
