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

Outside the Taoist temple.

Li Mu looked at the gradually decreasing rain, thinking deeply.

"Among the people I met these past two days, those who practice Qigong are obviously much more difficult to deal with. This is completely inconsistent with the saying 'there is no obvious difference between the strong and the weak among first-level masters'. Forget it, the Prince of Yan's Mansion is a big pit, and I'm afraid these are misleading me."

Thinking of this, Li Mu sighed deeply, closed his eyes and carefully felt his Qi Sea, then frowned.

"Why hasn't the Qi in my Qi Sea recovered at all? Is there something else I need to do?"

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly froze.

"I don't think I've ever practiced Qi. I just read the bamboo slips once before, and I felt a little bit of Qi in my body. Later."

"I am the best!"

"I felt the changes in my Qi three times, twice with Yu Wei, and the last time was when I knew the correct way to use it."

Li Mu slapped his head heavily.

"Oh my god, dual cultivation, this is what the second sentence of the bull nose belt means!"

Li Mu seemed to have suddenly opened the door to a new world, but then he thought of Su Yuwei and quickly hit himself twice.

"Then how do other people cultivate their true qi? Yu Wei said that true qi comes from heaven and earth, but she didn't say how to use it."

Li Mu tried hard to recall the contents of the bamboo slips, word by word, and after a while, he sighed.

"Is this the only way I have? What Taoist internal energy?"

At this time, Li Mu's ears moved slightly, he closed his eyes and listened carefully, muttering,

"Two, six, ten, sixteen, it's awful, they are from Prince Yan's Palace!"

Li Mu was very familiar with this movement. The organization of each team was sixteen people, and the neat pace they maintained during the movement, it was undoubtedly the group of female soldiers from the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

After confirming that the pursuers were coming, Li Mu didn't think any more and turned around and rushed into the temple.

It is easy to deal with these people now, but it will be troublesome if they are delayed. Perhaps Li Mu himself is unwilling to admit that he is actually unwilling to fight with the people from Prince Yan's Mansion.

However, just as Li Mu stepped into the Taoist temple.

A woman's scream was heard from the Taoist temple.

Li Mu frowned, rushed towards Zhao Chuyi, and covered her mouth with his hand.

Zhao Chuyi stared at Li Mu with tears in her eyes. Li Mu then realized that Zhao Chuyi was kneeling naked beside the fire.

"Oh my god, sis, you treat this place like your home."

At this time, Li Mu heard the sound of a fist tearing through the air from behind him. He turned his head to avoid Shan Shan's sandbag-sized fist and explained hurriedly:

"The pursuers are coming, stop!"

Shanshan was stunned for a moment, then dodged outside the Taoist temple and said:

"There are at least more than ten people!"

Li Mu looked into the eyes of the girl in front of him, trying hard to control himself from looking elsewhere. It must be said that just by looking at these eyes, Li Mu was sure that she must be a beauty.

Before Li Mu could think about it, he heard the people from Prince Yan's Mansion getting closer and closer, and spoke anxiously,

"That's too late."

He reached out and took off his clothes from the 'screen', wrapped the girl's delicate body, and then picked her up horizontally. He glanced at the heavy sword beside him and ignored it, shouting behind him:

"Shanshan, let's go!"

Before he finished speaking, his body jumped out of the side window of the Taoist temple.

The three of them shuttled through the forest for about an incense stick of time. Li Mu stopped and turned to look at Shan Shan behind him. He was stunned for a moment and asked:

"You're running for your life, why are you carrying it?"

Shanshan waved the heavy sword in her hand and said seriously:

"Don't give it to me, sir. I like it."

Li Mu was so angry that he laughed. He nodded and thought of what he had read in the book before, so he said:

"A heavy sword has no edge, and great skill is not perfect. This sword will be yours from now on. It suits you very well."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhao Chuyi in Li Mu's arms suddenly spoke,

"How does this work?"

Hearing this, the two of them looked at Zhao Chuyi at the same time. Zhao Chuyi knew that what she said was incoherent, so she stopped talking and lowered her head and curled up in Li Mu's arms.

Li Mu looked around, then turned his gaze to Shanshan, and asked tentatively with some embarrassment:

"Do you know the way?"

Before Shanshan could answer, she heard Zhao Chuyi in her arms burst out laughing.

Li Mu was angry and reached out to pinch her leg. Zhao Chuyi was about to scream, but she subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands. Her big eyes in the night stared at Li Mu angrily.

Then he noticed that his arms and shoulders were exposed, so he quickly pulled them back into his clothes. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He turned around and bit Li Mu on the chest.

Li Mu felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then he hit Zhao Chuyi's leg again, and then he pretended to be angry and cursed:

"Okay, one for each, we're even."

Li Mu's one on one was obviously not the same as what Zhao Chuyi had imagined. Thinking of what happened during the day, her cheeks turned red again.

"Sir, it's so dark, who can find the way?"

At this time, Shanshan on the side couldn't bear it anymore and quickly interrupted the two of them.

Li Mu frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he looked at Shanshan.

"Lucky star, lead the way."

Shanshan didn't understand what Li Mu meant and was about to ask, but Li Mu continued:

"Just think of yourself as Mondo and go wherever you want."

Although Shanshan didn't know who Mondo was, she nodded, then ran in one direction.

Prince Yan's Mansion.

Xu Youzhi leaned in the bathtub, her jade-like shoulders exposed to the air. Her delicate hands gently fiddled with the petals on the water surface, and she scolded:

"Xiao Zhao, we used to take baths together when we were little. How come you start to dislike me now that your son is here?"

Xiao Zhao stood behind the screen, holding her hands tightly in front of her chest, with only half of her head exposed, her cheeks flushed as she lowered her head and said:

"No, that's not the case."

"Come here quickly. You'll get sick if you don't take a hot bath after getting caught in the rain."

Xu Youzhi stared at Xiao Zhao with a smile on her face. When she saw Xiao Zhao walk out of the screen, she showed admiration in her eyes and said:

"That guy got a great bargain. Our Xiao Zhao is so pretty."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao's face turned red from her neck to her ears. With a splash, she dived into the water, leaving only a pair of eyes visible as she floated on the surface, blinking.

Seeing this, Xu Youzhi reached out to Xiao Zhao's chest and exclaimed,

"Xiao Zhao has grown so big."

Feeling someone attacking his chest, Xiao Zhao screamed and emerged from the water.

Xu Youzhi hugged Xiao Zhao's waist and pushed him back, teasing:

"Let me guess, your son's favorite thing is Xiao Zhao's slim waist, or..."

As he spoke, his hand slowly moved upwards.

Frightened, Xiao Zhao held Xu Youzhi's hand and said anxiously:

"No, Master didn't do anything to Xiao Zhao."

Xu Youzhi looked at Xiao Zhao's eyes in confusion. Seeing that Xiao Zhao didn't seem to be lying, she curled her lips and asked:

"Xiao Zhao, do you want your son to come back?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao nodded first, then shook his head desperately, saying:

"The young master is not a bad person. He has saved many people in the palace. Miss Youzhi, can you please ask the master for help?"

"Silly girl."

Xu Youzhi let go of Xiao Zhao and turned around to lie down beside the bathtub.

Slowly told Xiao Zhao about all these misunderstandings.

He also blamed all the affairs of his predecessor Li Mu on the gossips in the palace.

Xiao Zhao didn't believe it at first, but after Xu Youzhi's repeated assurances, she nodded doubtfully.

"What Miss Youzhi said must be true! I knew that the young master is not that kind of person. The master is really something. Even if he wanted to vent Miss Su's anger, he wouldn't do this."

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhao's eyes instantly turned red.

"Young Master thought Miss Su was gone, and he must be heartbroken now."

At this time, Xu Youzhi's voice sounded in Xiao Zhao's ears, interrupting her thoughts.

"So, Xiao Zhao, you have to take good care of your master's yard, otherwise he will teach you a lesson when he comes back."

As she spoke, Xu Youzhi's hand reached out to Xiao Zhao again. Xiao Zhao was in a much better mood at this time. The two of them talked and laughed, and started playing around. The room suddenly became lively.
