No hope for eternal life

"Yes." Yang Wuque nodded slightly. He could actually go to Nansha City in person, but he wanted to take the opportunity to let Mu Changsheng go out for some training, which could be regarded as another test.

"No problem for the student." Mu Changsheng agreed quickly. He grew up in Qingliu Town and had not even been to the county town a few times. Now it was a rare opportunity to go to the county town, and he was looking forward to it.

At the same time, Mu Changsheng also expressed his own difficulties: "It's just that my parents may not agree with me going out to the county town, so I would like to ask you to persuade them."

"Are you going to tell your parents about the spiritual mine?" Yang Wuque asked.

"I don't plan to tell anyone for now." Mu Changsheng said respectfully. It's not that he didn't trust his parents, but the matter of the spiritual mine was of great importance. The more people knew about it, the greater the risk of exposure. Once exposed, the consequences would be disastrous. Although there was Yang Wuque in the town and there was no danger, his parents would occasionally leave the town. He was not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of thieves thinking about it.

"It's good not to show off your wealth." Yang Wuque nodded in agreement and said, "In this case, I will lie with you."

"I'm sorry, sir." Mu Changsheng quickly bowed and apologized.

"It's okay. A person of integrity has nothing to fear." Yang Wuque said casually, not caring.

Afterwards, Yang Wuque took Mu Changsheng back to the town together, but this time Yang Wuque no longer flew, but walked back openly.

It was afternoon at this time. Yang Wuque was walking in front and Mu Changsheng was following behind. The two of them walked one after the other and returned to Qingliu Town.

"Hello, Mr. Yang." "Hello, Mr. Yang."

Along the way, every resident of the small town who passed by would take the initiative to greet Yang Wuque, and Yang Wuque would nod in response.

However, whenever people noticed Mu Changsheng following behind Yang Wuque, they would unconsciously reveal a hint of surprise, wondering in their hearts whether Yang Wuque treated this boy from the Mu family differently.

Mu Changsheng followed Yang Wuque all the way home, and naturally passed by their neighbor Mu Qunxian's sword-making shop on the way.

At this time, Mu Xun was helping Mu Qun to hammer and forge iron. For the sake of the spirit stone, he finally chose to compromise. Seeing Yang Wuque and Mu Changsheng walking so close, Mu Xun's face suddenly showed a look of disbelief.

"Hello, Mr. Yang." Mu Qun took the initiative to greet him.

“Thank you for your hard work in forging the sword.” Yang Wuque replied with a smile. He had a good impression of Mu Qunxian. Although the swords forged by Mu Qunxian were not of high grade, their quality was far above the average level of the same grade.

Moreover, in the years since Mu Qunxian moved to the town, he has been working from sunrise to sunset every day, and the sound of sword-forging has never stopped. Yang Wuque has heard it all, and naturally he admires this kind of persistence.

After saying that, Yang Wuque walked past the sword-making shop and knocked on Mu Changsheng's door.

In the sword-making shop, Mu Xun was still in a daze. Not only did he forget to swing the hammer, he even forgot to greet Yang Wuque.

"When swinging the hammer to forge a sword, not only your hands need to be steady, your mind must also be steady." Mu Qunxian at the side reminded calmly.

Mu Xun did not listen to the advice. Instead, he angrily threw the sledgehammer in his hand to the ground and hid in the backyard of the shop.

"This kid." Mu Qun shook his head first, but didn't pay any attention to him. He picked up the hammer on the ground and continued to forge his sword.

Next door, Mu Yanggu heard the door open. After opening it, he found that it was Yang Wuque standing outside. He quickly bowed and said, "Student greets you, sir."

When Mu Yanggu was young, he was also a student of Yang Wuque.

“No need to be so polite.” Yang Wuque personally helped Mu Yanggu up as he bowed. He had a deep impression of Mu Yanggu because among all the students he had taught over the years, Mu Yanggu was among the best in terms of sincerity in learning.

"I'm visiting you today to discuss something. May I come in and talk?" Yang Wuque asked with a smile.

"Of course, please come in, sir." Mu Yanggu quickly extended his hand to welcome him.

After Yang Wuque walked into the house, Chen Wanru in the yard also noticed Yang Wuque's arrival and hurried forward to salute respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Yang."

Unlike Mu Yanggu, Chen Wanru was originally from another place and moved to Qingliu Town. She had never been a student of Yang Wuque.

"Excuse me." Yang Wuque nodded slightly.

"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me. Mr. Yang's coming here really brings honor to our family." Chen Wanru said repeatedly.

Entering the main hall, Mu Yanggu welcomed Yang Wuque to the first seat, poured him a glass of wine, and said respectfully: "This is the muddy wine brewed by my student. If I am not a good host, please forgive me, sir."

Yang Wuque raised his glass and drank the wine. After tasting it carefully, he praised: "The wine is very good. It seems that you have put a lot of effort into brewing wine."

"I am a dull student. I know there is no hope for my cultivation, so I put my affection on external things. I am sorry to make you laugh at me, sir." Mu Yanggu said with some shame.

"I don't mean to blame you." Yang Wuque said slowly: "It has been difficult to achieve immortality since ancient times. It is already the best thing for a person to be able to do something he likes in his lifetime."

After finishing the casual conversation, Yang Wuque got down to business: "I came here this time to ask Mu Changsheng to help me go to Nansha City and deliver a letter. However, he is still young, so whether this is feasible depends on the opinions of your parents."

After hearing Yang Wuque's intention, Mu Yanggu and Chen Wanru looked at each other, and then said in unison: "No problem."

Mu Changsheng, who was standing by, immediately smiled happily. He knew that as long as Yang Wuque took action, his parents would definitely agree. However, Mu Changsheng was still a little surprised that his parents agreed without asking any more questions.

"That's great. Don't worry, I will give Mu Changsheng something to save his life so that he can travel back and forth safely." Yang Wuque said with a smile.

"Of course I trust you, sir." Mu Yanggu said quickly. This was also the reason why he agreed so readily. He believed in Yang Wuque's character from the bottom of his heart.

"Now that it has been agreed, Mu Changsheng, come to the school at three o'clock tonight. I will give you the letter and the life-saving item." Yang Wuque instructed Mu Changsheng.

"Student has made note of it." Mu Changsheng replied respectfully.

Yang Wuque nodded slightly when he saw this, and then turned to ask Mu Yanggu: "Do you have any extra wine? Can you give me a pot?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Mu Yanggu quickly took out two pots of wine from his storage bag and gave them to Yang Wuque.

Yang Wuque only took one of the pots and said with a smile: "One pot is enough."

Seeing this, Mu Yanggu took the opportunity to say: "If you like, I can send you a pot of wine every half a month."

"In that case, that would be troublesome." Yang Wuque did not refuse. It seemed that he really liked this wine.

"It's no trouble. Sir, you have protected the people of our town, which is the real hard work and great merit." Mu Yanggu said hurriedly. These words came from his heart. He knew very well that the Nine Realms are a place where the strong prey on the weak. If it weren't for Yang Wuque, who knows what Qingliu Town would be like.

"It is fate that brings us together here, but it cannot be called shelter." Yang Wuque said modestly, then stood up and said goodbye.
