Chapter 114: An Opportunity for a Breakthrough
"By the way, Mu'er, I have one more thing here. Gao Yuanshan suddenly seemed to remember something, groped through the inner lining, took out a meticulously crafted letterhead, and handed it to Su Mu.
Su Mu took the letterhead, and he didn't even need to open it, and when he smelled the elegant fragrance of purple bamboo flowers on it, he knew that this was a letter from Aunt Lingxi to him.
"You happened to be in the library building when the letter was delivered in the morning, and the master happened to be in the back mountain to calm down at that time, and when he saw it, he took it down for you. Gao Yuanshan said.
When Su Mu took the letter, he glanced at it a little, fiddled with it, and knew that the letterhead had not been opened, and the master should not have spied on the contents of the letter.
Gao Yuanshan was not a fool, this small action did not escape his eyes, and Su Mu's precautionary behavior made his heart a little sad.
Master and apprentice, why not. Gao Yuanshan knew very well in his heart that although the master-apprentice friendship between him and Su Mu was still there, Su Mu still respected him as a relative and elder, but there was already a sense of alienation between the two.
Maybe it's because of the recent events that make Su Mu a little disapproving of his concept as the head of the house.
In fact, Gao Yuanshan misunderstood Su Mu a little this time, and the reason why Su Mu would check the letterhead was completely subconscious.
The reason why Su Mu thought of sending a letter to Aunt Lingxi was to thank Chen Wu for this.
When Chen Wu left Hanshan, he had agreed with Su Mu that when Su Mu grew up and came to Luojing, he would personally entertain Su Mu to have a good time in the bustling capital and feel the customs and customs of the center of Tunanguo. Su Mu has always kept this matter in mind.
Unexpectedly, after Chen Wu returned home, the head of the Chen family who learned about the destruction of the Drunken Immortal Residence, Chen Wuyue's father, Chen Wuyue, was furious, not only completely cut off Chen Wu's monthly reward money, but also ordered him to be claustrophobic at home for a year and reflect on it.
Chen Wu, who has always loved to eat and have fun, could stand such a boring life, and his life was really boring, so he had to write a letter to Su Mu to chat, and said to his father that he would meet friends with his words.
For most of the past six months, Chen Wu has maintained the habit of regularly communicating with Su Mu, in addition to telling how miserable his life in Luojing was and how happy he was in the past, he also introduced Su Mu to a lot of interesting facts about the Luojing area.
Letters have always been delivered by the Chen family's personal messenger.
Once Su Mu inadvertently mentioned in the letter that he also had an aunt who was connected with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, Chen Wu recalled that when Li Encheng escorted him back to Beijing before, he had said that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had asked the director to save Su Mu in the past, and he was keenly aware that there was a lot of work to be done.
What is the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the largest Chamber of Commerce in the entire Tunan, including the Chen family, countless merchant families have to find a way to exist, it stands to reason that a remote second-rate sect like the Hanshan Sword Sect will not necessarily meet the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce if they want to come to the door, how can it be so easy to meet the directors of the Chamber of Commerce?
He had long heard that the director of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was a very unsympathetic person.
Then the answer is obvious, Su Mu's aunt, the identity must be very simple.
Although he doesn't know how to learn, his upbringing experience in a businessman's house since he was a child makes Chen Wu not let go of any potential opportunities. He began to try to pry out things about Lingxi from Su Mu's mouth from time to time, and he also took the initiative to camp if-->>
If Su Mu wanted to contact her, the messenger of the Chen family could deliver the letterhead on her behalf.
Su Mu hesitated for a long time, after all, if he wanted to find his aunt, he had to use the jade pendant he carried with him as a token, and he was not completely at ease with Chen Wu to that extent.
Later, Otowa helped him think of a way, found some ink, and printed the pattern engraved on the jade pendant on the letterhead, wanting to see if it could pass the approval of the Chamber of Commerce.
To be on the safe side, Su Mu's first letter didn't contain any specific content, just some simple greetings to Lingxi.
Fortunately, this practice passed smoothly, Aunt Lingxi really received the letter, and quickly sent him a reply letter, along with a bamboo flute.
The content of the reply letter is also relatively general, in addition to asking Su Mu about the current situation, it is to inform Su Mu that the letter he sent in the past has traces of being opened, so that he will pay more attention in the future, and he can directly blow the bamboo flute in the future, and a special messenger will come to the door to pick up the letter.
Su Mu tried it at that time, and sure enough, the next day, a slender and immortal white crane came from the clouds and stopped on the back mountain. The white crane's slender feet are tied to a special purple bamboo tube, which must be the place where the letterhead is placed.
Since then, Su Mu has been able to communicate with Aunt Lingxi freely.
Su Mu would always write down his recent cultivation results and insights to Aunt Lingxi in letters, and Lingxi would often tell him some small stories about being with his mother Qing Jue back then.
For example, they fought against the aliens in the Western Regions together, rescued the captured civilians from their hands, or traveled together to play the piano and paint, and after Qing Jue was pregnant, the two often chatted sleeplessly all night until dawn.
At that time, Su Mu had not yet been born, but just reading the letter, Su Mu could probably imagine the image of his mother Qingjue.
This is the best sweet spring for Su Mu to comfort his soul.
In fact, in the past two months, Gao Yuanshan knew better than anyone that Su Mu couldn't stay in Hanshan anymore. The lack of opportunities for him to further broaden his horizons and seek a breakthrough in strength made Su Mu very depressed.
It's just that the current situation is really not suitable for him to go down the mountain at will, although the war is over, the situation is still very uncertain. Although the persecution of the disciples of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect has been somewhat restrained, Ruan Qishen in the dungeon has always refused to reveal who the black-robed man who connected with him that day was.
The shadow shrouded by the cold mountain still did not dissipate, and Gao Yuanshan really did not dare to take the risk.
I only hope that the correspondence between this child and his aunt will improve his dull mood a little. Gao Yuanshan thought helplessly.
Su Mu couldn't wait to open the letterhead to see the content of Lingxi's reply to him, and the things written on the letter did make Su Mu smile sincerely again after a long time.
Su Mu told Lingxi in the previous letter that his cultivation had fallen into a bottleneck and had been stagnant for a long time. also confided in this aunt that he had been feeling a lot of pressure because of the various matters of the clan conference three years later.
Lingxi comforted Su Mu in his reply, and warned Su Mu to calm down and endure loneliness in his cultivation, and not to be in a hurry, in addition to saying that he would let Wang Shi go to Hanshan in the near future to see if he could give Su Mu any help and guidance.
