Chapter Ninety-Six: Scholarly Anger, Coercion and Temptation
On the second floor of the Dengxian Building, in the quiet room.
Agarwood curled, Li Mu frowned and pondered. Opposite him, Li Tianting's eyes were sparkling, his hands were folded on his laps, his white clothes were like snow, and his beauty was like jade, and he was looking at Li Mu with slightly expectant eyes at this time.
Everyone has a love for beauty. This Li dumping thing is also related to what he wants to do, and helping her is equivalent to helping himself, Li Mu naturally wants to plan for him.
After a moment of silence, Li Mu said, "This person is not in the building now, right?"
Li tilted his head.
"When will this person come to sit in the Immortal Tower?"
Li poured out: "He came here at night last night and returned at the end of the night. ”
Li Mu felt a little troublesome, how could there be such a master in this ordinary Qinglou in Quanzhou City, but he had come here, and he was unwilling to give up easily, and cooperating with this woman was not without a chance to defeat the late stage of Nahuafan.
Li Mu asked again: "Miss Li's feeling is clear, the aura on this person's body is really unstable, sometimes weak and sometimes strong?"
Li Tiantian nodded heavily, she still wouldn't be sloppy in this kind of thing.
"The breath is unstable, this person is very likely to be seriously injured, a seriously injured late stage of Huafan, or a loose cultivator, it is not difficult to deal with. Li Mu said these words directly, and then said: "But this matter is not in a hurry, when this person comes to this building, I will approach him to have a look, and then we will discuss how to do it." ”
Li Mu's words were quite firm, and Li Tiantian felt a lot more confidence. The disciples of the Falling Moon Palace not only have to work their own cultivation, but also treating people and things is also a skill they learn the most in the sect, she is extremely beautiful, but her temperament is a little cold. Seeing that Li Mu was so enthusiastic about wanting to help him, he only thought it was because of his beauty.
For Li Mu's cultivation realm, she has never been able to see through it. The technique of looking at qi taught by the Falling Moon Palace is the best at sensing the spiritual pressure on the cultivator's body and knowing its general realm. Since she learned this technique, cultivators within the mortal stage, whether in the before, during, or later stages, can be clearly perceived by her. However, the spiritual pressure on Li Mu's body was extremely weak, as if it did not exist at all, which made her very puzzled.
Moreover, Li Tiantian felt a strange and dangerous aura on Li Mu's body, as if Li Mu sitting in front of her was not a cultivator, but a fierce demon beast - she also recognized the token that Li Mu took out, and it was clearly a formal disciple token that only a disciple of the Xuanming Sect could have. Although she couldn't clearly perceive Li Mu's specific cultivation realm, he must be a cultivator in the mortal stage, but it seemed a little unfathomable.
Li Mu proposed to observe the reality of the later stage of the transformation first, and she didn't feel inappropriate, so she nodded in agreement.
As for Li Mu, his things about the various sects in the Xuanying Realm were all from the collection of the Xuanming Sect, and since there was a disciple of the Falling Moon Palace sitting next to him at this time, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to ask him about the Falling Moon Palace.
Li Mu's questions are very exquisite, he will not ask some things that involve the secrets of the door, and Li Tiantian basically answers all questions. The two talked happily, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
Li Mu remembered something and asked, "Miss Li came to this building alone, so the bustard is not suspicious?"
Li Qian smiled proudly: "I told Brother Li just now, this sect is good at alchemy." ”
Li Mu suddenly asked, "Could it be that Miss Li used the power of the elixir to restrain this old bustard?"
"I threatened her with the 'Scorpion Heart Pill' made by my own sect, saying that no one can solve this medicine unless I do, and this old bustard is afraid of death, and he doesn't dare to tell the truth. And I also explained that I was only looking for people on this trip, and I didn't want to kill, so she was naturally trembling and could only follow my orders. ”
Li Mu was puzzled: "In that case, why didn't Miss Li ask her to find someone for you?
Li Tiantian showed a look of hatred on his face, and snorted lightly: "The middle-aged man in the late stage of Huafan has bad intentions, and it seems that these girls are used as furnaces and supplements, and the girl I want to find is one of them." ”
She paused, and then said: "I heard your voice upstairs, and when I saw your expression, I felt that Brother Li should have other plans for coming here, so I came uninvited to see if you could join forces with me, and Brother Li really didn't disappoint me." ”
Li Mu said silently, a gentleman should take it as his responsibility to uphold justice and clarify the universe. He is also a person who is familiar with the Confucian classics, and for this kind of thing, it is just that he has not seen it or his own ability is insufficient, but since he has encountered it, there is absolutely no reason to ignore it.
Thousands of years ago, the reason why that strange woman founded the Falling Moon Palace was to support the weak female cultivators, so that they would not be poisoned by the evil people, Li Tiantian had this heart, it was normal, and he Li Mu thought that his strength was acceptable, so he wanted to help.
After hearing about this, Li Mu said solemnly: "After testing the truth of the middle-aged man tonight, let's join forces to get rid of this person and rescue those innocent women." ”
Li Tian heard Li Mu say this, and had a very good impression of him, and nodded again and again: "How about I let that old bustard take the lead tonight, and let Brother Li go to see that person?" This woman's mind is simpler, if it is an ordinary mortal disciple, how dare she easily test the reality of a late-stage cultivator. It's just that she said it so bluntly, Li Mu didn't feel unhappy.
Li Mu relied on his strong physical defense and would not be easily attacked, and the man in the late stage of transformation was not so easy to see his cultivation. Originally, he was only a mid-congenital stage of cultivation, and he didn't have the spiritual pressure on his body that would only exist after the mortal stage, so how could others see his reality clearly? As for the sense of danger that emanated from his body, it was the beginning of the power of the Yuan Demon, and he was not good at hiding it.
Only a person with a keen perception like Li Tiantian would faintly perceive the Yuan Demon aura that emanates from his body from time to time. Even a master like He Qiu in the foundation building period can't be detected.
What's more, Li Mu moves extremely fast, in a place like Dengxian Tower, where there are many people and mouths, even if the other party moves, he should have some scruples, can't he run if he can't beat it?
Li Mu and Li Tiantian agreed on this matter, and said to her: "The reason why Li is here is to investigate the affairs of several clansmen of the Jin family and the Xue family in Quanzhou. Miss Li, can you summon her and let me ask a question or two?"
Li Tiantian was curious about the news that he had investigated the Jin family and the Xue family, this woman stepped out of the sect for the first time, and she was extremely guarded, but if she was trusted by her, she seemed a little simple, and at this time she had doubts in her heart, so she asked directly: "Brother Li is here specifically for these two families?
Li Mu looked at her with wide eyes, looking extremely curious, and couldn't help but be a little funny, but his real purpose was indeed difficult to explain to her, after all, the two had just met. He smiled faintly and said: "Li was entrusted to come to investigate, as for what happened, it is inconvenient to tell the girl." ”
Li Tiantian only asked casually, not expecting him to answer herself, so she smiled slightly, and walked out of the room to ask the old bustard to come to see Li Mu.
After dozens of breaths, Li Leaned in front and the old bustard in the back, and came to the room where Li Mu was.
Li Tiantian smiled at Li Muyanran, and did not leave, just sat aside and listened to his questioning.
Li Mu had nothing to avoid, and asked bluntly: "How does your Dengxian Mansion know about the Jin family and the Xue family? Do you have a special intelligence department?" Many Qinglou will collect intelligence and sell it to those who need it, and even some of the founders of Qinglou are just to collect intelligence.
This old bustard knows that Li Mu is the same as this god-damn Li Tiantian, who is a cultivator on the top, because her own landlord is also a cultivator, so she is not very afraid of Li Mu, hearing Li Mu's question, she didn't dare to hide it, and said bluntly: "Yu Gongzi, this door does have an intelligence department, which collects all kinds of information for the landlord." I also know a lot about the Jin family and the Xue family, what kind of information does the son need?"
"I asked you to collect information about the Jin and Xue families, and you don't seem to be very afraid? These two families are the actual masters of this Quanzhou City, aren't you afraid of setting yourself on fire?" Li Mu had to make sure that this old bustard was not a violation of the yang and the yin, so he asked this question.
The old bustard shook his head: "The Jin and Xue clans are confident in their strong force, and they are not afraid of ordinary forces to find out about them, as long as it is not something that endangers their clan, these two clans do not care. Moreover, the two families are guarding against each other, and I don't know how many spies are probing and monitoring each other, and where will they care about the investigation of our small forces. ”
Li Mu nodded in agreement, and then reassured: "Don't worry, the person I asked you to investigate is not an important person in these two families, and it will not attract their attention, you take a note, one of these two is named Xue Chucai, and the other is called Jin Yueyi, they should be a pair of lovers, but they both disappeared a few years ago." I want you to find out what happened before they disappeared, and then come back and report it to me. If you do this well, I will detoxify you with Miss Yang Li, and you will be rewarded. ”
Suppressing it with force, luring it with profit, is the right way, dealing with this kind of old bustard who is greedy for life and afraid of death and greedy for money like life, two-pronged, I don't believe that she can't do things well.
Li Mu casually took out a few silver tickets, handed them to the old bustard, and said with a smile: "As long as you do your job well, after this matter is settled, I will have another reward." ”
The old bustard's eyes lit up when he saw the silver ticket, and when he heard Li Mu's promise, he was the only one who said yes, and the last trace of dissent disappeared, and his heart was still this son's generosity, which was often a few thousand taels of silver, not as stingy as his own landlord-
During the conversation between Li Mu and the old bustard, Li Tiantian kept watching coldly, without saying a word, and did not feel strange when he saw that he coerced and enticed the old bustard and easily surrendered the old bustard. However, Li Mu asked him to check on a couple who had been missing for a long time, which made her a little concerned.
