I am a living immortal.

Su Mu wouldn't worry about Siming's words. She knew her own strength best. Did Siming understand her? Perhaps, but not thoroughly. This kind of partial understanding was the most fatal.

So he was quite grateful for the news brought by Sima Ming, but he would not just sit there and do nothing.

When Siming left completely, Su Mu and the others also ended their journey for the day.

The time in Jiading Prefecture will not stop for a moment, and will continue to move forward.

In the days that followed, Su Mu and his companions stayed within Jiading Prefecture, and life there grew peaceful. Su Mu hadn't yet decided where to go. His strength had reached a bottleneck, and he hadn't yet figured out how to achieve the next step, the final realm of "Heavenly Immortal." Or rather, he had figured it out but didn't know how to achieve it.

So Su Mu put it on hold for the time being. It can only be said that the time has not come yet. If the time comes, he will naturally understand.

So there was another idle person on the streets of Jiading Prefecture.

The remaining two idle personnel were Mirage Dragon and Old Goat. Surprisingly, the only one of the four who had a proper job was Cao Chen, whose stall, Cao Banxian, was still running in full swing.

As for Blind Xu, Su Mu hadn't seen him causing trouble these past few days, so Cao Chen was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Although they were idle, the three of them weren't actually together. Ever since the Mirage Dragon hooked up with the Dream-Eating Tapir, he'd been hanging out with them; and the old goat had probably found a hilltop to practice martial arts or graze, as it had become his habit.

Su Mu was pleased that Old Goat had chosen martial arts; after all, he had finally found his own path. No matter how strong Old Goat had been before, he had only been imitating Su Mu. Now, they were similar, but not the same.

There hasn't been any big news in Jiading Prefecture recently.

Summer comes soon after spring plowing. The noisy chirping of cicadas makes people feel annoyed, and even cold tea and iced drinks cannot drive away the overwhelming heat.

Su Mu sat in front of the herbal tea stall.

This state of idleness hadn't occurred in a long time. He really enjoyed such a day. There was nothing wrong with it. When he arrived at the stall, the vendor greeted him with a smile: "Sir, you are here again? Is it the same as before?"

As he grew older, he lost his youthful innocence, though he may not have had much of it before. He became much more mature. The change in temperament was sometimes even more dramatic than the change in appearance.

Just like before, no matter how mature he was, he would still be called "young master", but now these people would naturally call him "sir".

Su Mu smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Since the beginning of summer, he'd come here every day to drink iced drinks. After a few days, the vendor got to know Su Mu. Ice drinks were precious in the summer, unaffordable for most people. Most people drank a bowl of cold or bitter tea to dispel the heat.

Su Mu didn't like the taste of herbal tea, nor did he need to relieve the heat. He drank ice tea for one reason only: it tasted good.

Various fresh fruit juices are added with rock sugar and refrigerated in cold water, and then some smoothies are shaved and put into them. It tastes sour, sweet, refreshing and heat-relief. For Su Mu, he likes this taste.

This stall in particular has the best food among all of them, so he comes here every day.

Every day is different.

Today's is Yangmei Keshui.

There are many people like Su Mu. Most of them are rich and have free time. After a long time, they get to know some people. Some people will greet him: "Mr. Su."

Su Mu nodded in response to each of them.

The atmosphere was pleasant, and we didn't encounter any bad guys. Since the martial arts tournament, Jiading Prefecture had increased patrols, and there had been quite a few fights. But after most of the martial artists left, the patrols had clearly increased in intensity, and those hooligans didn't dare to act recklessly.

The subsequent impact is real.

After finishing her ice cream, Su Mu wandered around and spotted Cao Banxian. Cao Banxian was a dedicated professional, having already set up his stall. However, there was no sign of Blind Xu, whom Old Shank had mentioned. Cao Chen wanted to take him on as his apprentice, but Blind Xu refused, and they never saw each other again.

And I heard that this person hasn't been seen in Chengnan for a long time.

Many people said that Blind Xu might have left Jiading Prefecture because with the existence of Cao Chen, his fortune-telling skills were no longer useful.

At this time, Blind Xu had already returned to his hometown and was not as afraid of Cao Chen as everyone thought. If he was afraid, he would not have gone to fight Cao Chen.

The reason he left was that he had finally kept his promise. He did not abandon his promise to his life-saving mentor because of the overwhelming temptation. If he had done so, it would have been a rejection of both his mentor and himself.

Once this matter had begun, no amount of self-consolation would have availed. He quietly left Jiading Prefecture, simply to keep the promise he had made. Promises were precious, but Cao Chen's invitation was also a deadly temptation, and precisely because of this, he was forced to leave. He was afraid he couldn't bear it, so he ended it all once and for all, which is called out of sight, out of mind.

How should I put it? It's quite heartbreaking. And it's precisely because of this that it's so precious. It's not uncommon to reject something that doesn't tempt you, no matter how precious it is; but to be able to reject something that is incredibly tempting is a testament to mental fortitude.

But no matter what, there is no Blind Xu in Jiading Prefecture, and there will never be another one in the future.

But life goes on as usual.

Blind Xu will not die because he is not in Jiading Prefecture, and Jiading Prefecture will not stop functioning because of the absence of Blind Xu.

Jiading Prefecture was peaceful and calm, and even the Yu Dynasty hadn't experienced any major incidents.

But Su Mu unexpectedly received a piece of letter.

They weren't his old friends, but his disciples. Ever since Su Mu left, these people had been cultivating like crazy, striving to keep up with their master's footsteps. Over the past few decades, Ruan Chengji, Qian Fu, Yun Yue, and Yun Tu had all left Floating Cloud Mountain, searching for their own master.

This letter recorded in detail what Yun Yue saw and heard.

Unexpectedly, the first person to contact him was Yun Yue. This kid was very talented, and the fact that he had Su Mu's contact information was naturally luck. While traveling down the mountain, he met Lin Yuan who was also traveling.

This is very interesting. When Yun Yue wrote this letter to Su Mu, they encountered a very fantastic thing, and had no choice but to write this letter to Su Mu.

Even Su Mu couldn't help but sigh at the content of this letter. The experiences of these two people were so fantastic, breathtaking, and very detailed.
