"Do you think that the process of this Gongsun Qi's breakthrough to the Yuanying Realm is very similar to that of a person?"

Li Mu sat at the tavern closest to the street, the teacup in his hand turned around again and again, he had always had such a guess in his heart, and after listening to the description of Gongsun Qi by the owner of the pill shop, he determined a few more points.

"Brother Mu, I also think of someone when you say this, you must have seen this person Fang Yan. ”

Lin Qingzhu followed Li Mu's prompt, and a figure of a person soon appeared in his mind, the same bottleneck that could not be booked, the same disappeared and closed the dead pass, and then the same weirdly successfully broke through.

"Nangong is ruthless!"

Li Mu and Lin Qingzhu looked at each other and said the name in their hearts in unison.

That's right, it was in the class competition of Qinglan Academy that the great elder of the Nangong family who shamelessly attacked Li Mu, this ruthless old man almost made Li Mu's life come to an early conclusion, if it wasn't for Li Yue's action, I'm afraid that with the scene at that time, Li Mu would definitely be dead.

"Nangong ...... Ruthless, I don't have deep contact with this person, I only know that he is the former star of hope of the Nangong family, but later I heard that he was arranged by the family to break through to a mysterious place. ”

After Fang Yan heard Nangong Ruthless's name, his brows also tightened, and he tried hard to dig out clues about this Great Elder from his memory, but when he was brought back to the Nangong family, this Nangong Ruthless had already been sent away, so in the past ten years, the two had not had much intersection.

"I heard from the eldest brother that in the past few years of the Nangong family, there have been mysterious disappearances of the older generation of monks who have not been able to break through for decades before, and then their strength has improved by leaps and bounds after returning, and the same is true for this Gongsun Qi, coupled with all the weirdness of this Lishui City, I have a very bad premonition. ”

Since the time crossing, whether it is the academy life at the beginning or the training journey after leaving Qinglan City, Li Mu has always been accompanied by strange things, the force hidden in the depths of darkness has always appeared by Li Mu's side, if it weren't for Fang Yan's joining, he wouldn't even know anything about this force.

"In the fantasy novels I read in my previous life, the protagonist will always have a lifelong enemy, and this force should be my lifelong enemy. ”

Li Mu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he really wanted to reveal the true face of those mysterious black-robed people, but his cultivation was too low, not to mention the purple pupil leader that Fang Yan said, the three-person team who came to the infant realm casually only had a hiccup.

"Hiss......"

Suddenly, a loud horse neighed out of the street, followed by a flurry of footsteps and scolding, Several thin figures ran past the window where Li Mu and the three of them were, and they were so panicked that they knocked over several stalls placed on the side of the road one after another.

After three or five breaths, the sound of heavy horses' hooves followed, and a chaser in gorgeous red armor appeared in Li Mu's sight, a fully organized personal guard, and the standard iron swords at their waists showed their power.

"What are these guards doing? The three people who ran in front of them should be ordinary beggars, and a whole team of guards would be dispatched to capture such civilians?"

What happened in front of him made Li Mu full of doubts again, these beggars had noticed it when he was in the commercial street before, it was hard to imagine that there would be so many beggars in such a rich city, and they were almost all hiding in the narrow alleys of the city, not daring to set foot on the street for half a step.

The three who were being chased were soon caught by the guards, and the soldiers escorted the two stunned teenagers past Li Mu and the three again.

The two beggars who were caught were only in their teens, and their faces were as dead as ashes, and their eyes were full of despair.

According to the passers-by who pointed around, only one of the three children, who looked like four or five years old, had escaped arrest by the guards because he was thin and had gone through an abandoned pipe.

"Brother Mu, why are these soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion so arrogant, beggars must also be arrested, and scattered cultivation must also be arrested, you see those people on the side of the road, everyone is in danger, what a fear it should be, a city's personal guards, let their people be so afraid, this Gongsun Qi is really not a good thing. ”

Lin Qingzhu is mainly responsible for the management of the affairs in Qinglan City, his father taught him to be kind to the people since he was a child, to manage such a large city, it is not enough to rely on strong strength alone, the will of the people is the key.

The figure of the pro-guard team soon disappeared at the end of the road, and Li Mu and the three of them also finished their lunch and prepared to return to Deyue Tower to continue their cultivation.

But as soon as he walked out of the door of the tavern, a thin figure crashed straight into Li Mu's arms, and when he looked at it, wasn't this the only child who escaped among the three beggars who were captured by the pro-guards before?

The child looked malnourished, skinny and bones, his clothes were so tattered that he could barely cover his body, and his face was covered with mud.

The little beggar who crawled out of the abandoned pipe, seeing that his companion was captured by the guards, tears fell uncontrollably, and the rumbling stomach was unbearable for him, so he had to sneak into the tavern and want to steal something to eat in the back kitchen.

Unexpectedly, he just wanted to flow into the tavern while people were not paying attention, but he happened to collide with Li Mu who came out, looking at the three noblely dressed people in front of him, the little beggar panicked all of a sudden, and subconsciously wanted to escape, but was grabbed by Fang Yan's big hand.

"Little brother, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, come, ask this brother to bring you food. ”

Lin Qingzhu saw that the little beggar was so frightened that he almost turned his back on Fang Yan's hands, so he quickly took it, comforted him with a smile, and by the way, he also signaled Li Mu to hurry up and get food.

"It's delicious, thank you brother and sister, you are good people, it's just that this brother looks a little scary. ”

After the little beggar ate five white-flour steamed buns in front of Li Mu and the three of them, he patted his bulging little belly and stopped, after all, he was a four or five-year-old child, and a full meal made him let down his guard, in addition to still being afraid of Fang Yan, looking at Lin Qingzhu and Li Mu's eyes was no longer afraid.

"Little brother, brother, you have eaten so many steamed buns from your brother, is it okay for your brother to ask you a question. ”

Li Mu looked at the little beggar in front of him and felt a little heartache, in his previous life he was a soft-hearted person, when he saw the grandmother selling flowers on the side of the road and the little beggar begging, he would find out some money for them, although he himself was also a poor person, but this did not prevent him from helping others.

"Hmm...... , if my brother can buy me ten more steamed buns, I will answer your question. ”

The little beggar thought about this question very seriously in front of Li Mu, and then looked at Li Mu very firmly and said.

"Do you want ten, do you have that little belly?"

Li Mu wanted to scold a little in his heart, this little rabbit cub even started to blackmail himself, but thinking about the hundreds of thousands of Cangyun coins he got from selling pills just now, just ten steamed buns, he should do a good deed.

"Brother, don't be angry, it's because I want to bring back to my parents at home, and they haven't eaten for a long time, so today I went out with my two big brothers to find food, but those uncles are so bad that they took the big brothers away, woo woo......"

Seeing that the little beggar was made to cry by Li Mu, Lin Qingzhu directly threw over a complaining look, urging Li Mu to hurry up and buy steamed buns, while he patted the little beggar on the back and kept comforting him.

In the end, Li Mu also waved his hand and directly bought two large bags of all kinds of food, and then the three of them decided to follow the little beggar back to his home in the slums south of the city, first, to ensure that the little beggar could return to his parents safely, and secondly, to inquire about some information about this Lishui City by the way.

Sometimes, just looking on your own or confined to a fixed area will blind you, and these beggars all over Lishui City may really tell you some new clues.

The little beggar was overjoyed to see that the three brothers and sisters not only did not blame themselves, but also bought so much food, knowing that they had never seen so much food when they were so big.

So he readily agreed to Li Mu's request to see his parents, carried two large bags of food in both hands, and led Li Mu and them to the south of the city in a jumping manner.
