I am a living immortal.

In the abandoned house, there are vendors, wanderers, and ordinary people on the road.

The rain hit the roof with a loud noise.

Along with the sound of rain, there are also sounds of conversation, which are clearly distinguished. There are different layers under the same roof, as if they are not in the same world.

The wanderers chatted about the affairs of the martial world, which sect had produced a genius, who had made a breakthrough during their travels, the ups and downs of the martial world, grudges and love, while the merchants talked about where business was easy or difficult, which position was crowded, and how many new competitors there were. They boasted about their offspring and compared their families, trying to be neither too rich nor too lonely.

Some pedestrians who were simply on their way chatted about family matters, daily necessities, livelihood and life.

Because of a sudden downpour, we were able to gather together for a brief encounter, and we might go our separate ways when the rain stopped. Chatting at this moment is really chatting, without calculations or interests. You may not even know each other's names, and the topics you talk about are basically the same...

As for why there are no rich people, the rich people's carriages will not stop because of heavy rain, and the young masters and young ladies will not get their clothes wet because of the rain.

Su Mu used a branch to stir the fire in front of her, her eyes fixed on the burning flames and her ears listening to the conversation.

The rain curtain seems to be a curtain that temporarily isolates the world, and the abandoned house is a window that tells of sleepiness.

Now the abandoned houses are not crowded.

But it seems that the rain will not stop for a while, it may take a day at most, or an hour or two at least, and then it may be too crowded to squeeze in.

As I was thinking this, someone came to the door again.

This time, a young man came, wearing brocade clothes and holding a paper fan in his hand. He walked in leisurely. Although there was rain on his feet, his clothes were not stained at all. This time was different from when Su Mu came.

When Su Mu came, everyone was busy drying clothes. Now most of the clothes have been dried by the flames, and the house has become much warmer because of the several fires. It is a moment of boredom, and those pairs of eyes wish they could see through the young man.

Walking in so carelessly and strangely, it was inevitable that people would notice something unusual, and the eyes of those martial artists changed. In their worldview, anyone who could withstand the rain without getting on his clothes was a well-known figure in the martial arts world.

These beings could use their inner qi to block the rain out, or use their inner qi to instantly evaporate the rain on their clothes. Either way, it was enough to make them awed.

As for thinking that it is a monster or immortal, please, no one would think in that direction for no reason. Of course, they are just making up a reasonable explanation within their own worldview.

The young man paid no attention to these looks.

He found a place to sit down. Because of the young man's arrival, the noise in the room became quiet for a while. Then, seeing that the young man did not behave abnormally, he returned to his normal state. The young man looked at everyone in the room with interest, including Su Mu.

Su Mu ignored the look and continued to look at the flames calmly, but in fact she was listening to other people's gossip.

Which rich man has taken in his new concubine? Which young man got into a fight in the street for his beloved and was beaten half-paralyzed. In the end, it was discovered that the man was the useless younger brother of the rich man's new favorite concubine, and he couldn't afford to offend him, and so on.

Just as he was enjoying the show, he could not afford to offend his family but could not let this go unnoticed, so he prepared to unite many victims and secretly contact the greedy county magistrate and others, preparing to fight against the local tyrants and divide the land.

Interspersed among these were the infighting among the many concubines in the compound, as well as the disputes over the family property between the concubines and their children. The combined efforts of both inside and outside forces made the rich man exhausted and tired of dealing with it, and at the same time, many forces relaxed their vigilance.

Who knew that this local rich man was not a pushover either. When he was about to make a huge reversal... he was abruptly interrupted by a shout of "Brother".

The person who was just gossiping stopped talking abruptly and looked over. Su Mu, who was just listening to gossip, became the gossip herself.

The young man had just said two words when he was interrupted by Su Mu's displeased look.

This made the young man confused for a moment about where his displeasure came from. He hadn't even spoken yet, but he was thick-skinned and even though the atmosphere was awkward, he still spoke out: "Brother, can you lend me some firewood?"

Su Mu looked at the branches under his feet. He had come early and picked up some for backup. Now he saw that all the branches in the house had been picked up early, so he put away his displeased expression, nodded, and gave some to the young man.

Seeing this, the young man hurriedly thanked him, "My name is Li Peng. Thank you, brother. I didn't realize before that it's getting dark and there's really a hint of chill."

"By the way, brother, where are you from? You don't look like a local."

"I just happened to be passing by." Su Mu answered casually.

Li Peng's intention to borrow firewood was fake, but his real intention was to test Su Mu. When he came, he observed everyone in the house. No matter if they were wanderers or merchants, they all behaved normally. Only Su Mu squatted in the corner without saying a word, with a blank look in his eyes. And there was also the goat next to him. There was only a limited amount of weeds in the house, just that one patch, but from the time he came in to borrow firewood, he could not finish eating it all.

It wasn't a big deal, but when he looked at the goat for a long time, he got an eye roll... A goat rolled its eyes at him.

This is totally unlike what a normal goat would behave.

He knew that there was a kind of evil magic called animal transformation.

Even though Su Mu appeared harmless, he still felt it necessary to test her. One must be careful when walking in the underworld. Moreover, the people he offended would not talk to him about underworld ethics and would do whatever they wanted.

Su Mu didn't want to pay attention to Li Peng because he smelled trouble from him. But the more Su Mu didn't want to get in touch with him, the more excited Li Peng was to get close to him.

If it weren't for the rule of not hitting someone who smiles at you, Su Mu really wanted to slap him in the face and make him shut his mouth.

Then the performance is...

Li Peng said a lot, and Su Mu replied with a "hmm".

After this happened so many times, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he would no longer embarrass himself.

However, he was also certain of one thing, that is, he was overthinking it all. Su Mu might be a little weird, but it had nothing to do with those who were chasing him.

Just because Su Mu looked like she wanted to hit herself but was forcing herself to hold back, he ruled out those people.

After all, this opportunity is right in front of me, can I bear it?

It must be unbearable.

So Li Peng is quite self-aware.

Fortunately, Su Mu did not count on her fingers to figure out what Li Peng was thinking, otherwise she might have really slapped him in the face, and even slapped him to death.

Without that chatterbox, Li Peng turned back into a modest gentleman, but unfortunately this appearance did not last long.
