That night, Li Mu tossed and turned in bed, with complex emotions of annoyance and regret intertwined, so much so that when he got up in the morning, he had a pair of big dark circles under his eyes.
"Master, you got up so early, and I'm still doing morning classes. What's wrong with your eyes?"
Pushing open the door, Li Mu saw Zhen Ni sitting in a horse stance in the yard. Xiao Nizi had a high ponytail and was staring at him curiously with her panda eyes.
Since joining Li Mu's disciples, the first thing Zhen Ni did after waking up every day was morning classes. Whether it was to train the body or absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, early morning was the most suitable time of the day. This was also the time for Li Mu's early training.
Habits developed.
"You practice hard, I'll go out for a while."
Li Mu, who had something on his mind, did not bother to give advice on Zhen Ni's practice. After giving a few simple instructions, he hurried out of the yard.
"Master, do you want me to come with you? Don't you have breakfast too? Then I can finish it by myself?"
Zhen Ni, who was maintaining a horse stance, stretched her neck and shouted a few words to Li Mu who was walking away. Then she looked at the exquisite breakfast that the maid had brought over early in the morning. She couldn't help but shake her head. It seemed that even a peerless genius like the master could not hide.
Not a word of love.
At this time, Li Mu had no intention to explore the little girl's thoughts, so he anxiously came to Ruolan's residence, which was the exquisite courtyard where the other party received him for the first time.
But when he stood at the door and stretched out his hand to knock, he hesitated again. He tried to muster up the courage several times, but still couldn't take a step.
"Will Sister Ruolan forgive me? Can she understand my decision? If I ask her to wait for me, will it be too unfair to her?"
A series of questions came to Li Mu, and his feelings for Ruolan became an obstacle in front of him. He was afraid that his decision, which could be called selfish, would hurt Ruolan again.
"Squeak"
Just when Li Mu raised his hand for the unknown number of times, the wooden door of the small courtyard suddenly opened on its own, and a woman in green clothes slowly walked out, but it was not the face that haunted her.
"Master Li, please come back. The lady doesn't want to see you."
The maid only said this, then she bowed her knees and saluted Li Mu, and then retreated into the courtyard.
Li Mu wanted to say something, but was stopped by the gate that closed with a creak. He looked up at the weeping willow on the wall. He obviously had thousands of words to say to the people in the yard, but he had no chance.
"Sister Ruolan..."
Sighing deeply, Li Mu had no choice but to turn around and leave. But what he didn't know was that at the window of the small building in the courtyard, there was a gaze watching his retreating back, and the beauty had already been wet with tears.
skirt.
Time flies by so fast, and before they know it, it is already the twentieth day since Li Mu and Zhen Ni came to Huiyue City.
After learning in detail about his little apprentice's physical condition, personal preferences and other details, Li Mu combined the vast amount of knowledge in his mind and the various martial arts and martial arts in the store system, and selected the short blade as Zhen Ni's exclusive
arms.
At the same time, combined with the Xuan-level skill called Siam Reincarnation Technique, plus a variety of suitable combat martial arts, the integrated training plan has covered everything that Zhen Ni needs from her first journey to immortality to the realm of infant transformation.
Under Li Mu's careful guidance, Xiao Nizi's progress can be described as astonishing. In just twenty days, she was able to skillfully absorb and circulate the vitality of heaven and earth. She even had fighting skills that she had no knowledge of before.
Considerable progress.
According to this speed, Li Mu believes that Zhen Ni will have a chance to reach the threshold of forming a core within half a year at most, which is much faster than his own speed back then.
I have to say that this made Li Mu, who was a little worried about whether he was right to accept a disciple, feel that he had just found a treasure. This young apprentice brought from the restaurant is definitely a good gem in cultivation. As long as he is guided correctly, he will be able to succeed in the future.
It will become a great thing.
While teaching Zhen Ni how to practice, Li Mu also insisted on going to the small courtyard where Ruo Lan lived every day. He still wanted to see her and speak out what was in her heart, so that no matter what the outcome, at least she would not let Ruo Lan live.
Both of them were in pain.
But no matter how Li Mu asked to see him, he couldn't get any response from Ruolan. Even once he tried to break through the wall, but was directly stopped by the maid in green.
Li Mu never dreamed that this maid, who looked non-threatening, was actually a master of the Infinite Realm, and could knock him off the wall with one palm.
Li Mu had no choice but to ask Uncle Fu to intercede, but obviously this method didn't work. Ruolan seemed determined to avoid her this time, and no one could change her mind.
As time passes day by day, the merchant ships heading to the South China Sea area have also been prepared at the port of Huiyue City. Since this route is extremely remote and dangerous, only such a fleet can go there every year.
Li Mu knew that if he missed the ship, it would be even more difficult for him to go to the South China Sea to find clues to the sacred objects of the three tribes, so he was anxious, but Ruolan's determination was also beyond his imagination.
Until the day before departure, he was still rejected by the other party. When Li Mu returned to his yard, he was dejected. Zhen Ni couldn't bear to see it, so she suggested that she go to Ruolan to intercede.
"That's all. When I come back from Nanhai, I can apologize to Sister Ruolan. You girl, give me a good practice. You will stay at Jinfuxuan during my absence, you know? Don't cause trouble. I hope that when I come back,
I can see that you have formed a pill."
Seeing her master's majestic demeanor, Zhen Ni responded with an "obey orders" expression, and then jumped up and down to help Li Mu pack up and bow.
"I feel that other people's apprentices are afraid of the master, but this little girl doesn't look like she's afraid of me. Alas, I guess I'm not old enough. No, I have to show off as a master in the future.
come out."
This last night passed in Li Mu's messy thoughts. When the sun shone in from the window, he understood that it was finally time to leave.
Although Huiyue City is not a seaside city, due to its special geographical location, it can radiate all trade routes in the east and west of the Cangyun Empire.
Therefore, in order to open up water routes throughout the empire, a Grand Canal was built from west to east, and Huiyue City was the largest port city along the canal.
Li Mu stood on the deck of the giant sailing ship, bathing in the sunshine of Huiyue City, while Zhen Ni standing on the shore was desperately waving goodbye to him. With the main sail lowered, this huge fleet finally set off.
time.
"Mr. Li, this is a letter from the young lady to you."
Li Mu, who had just turned around with regret and melancholy, was stopped by a sudden voice. He turned around and saw that it was the woman in green who was guarding Ruolan's courtyard. She was standing in the air in the infinite state, and what she handed over was a shallow letter.
