285: Meeting with the crowd

Three days passed in a flash.

Amidst everyone's excited anticipation, Li Mu finally arrived at the Special Affairs Handling Bureau.

At this moment, Qin Zhe—or Old Qin, as everyone called him—was about to lie down for a short nap.

However, after only a moment, he found it uncomfortable to maintain the same sleeping position for too long, so he decided to shift positions and continue resting.

Just then, a dark shadow suddenly appeared at the foot of his bed, and Old Qin couldn't help but frown, slowly opening his eyes.

Immediately after, something unexpected happened: Old Qin let out a shriek as sharp and ear-piercing as an old sister-in-law.

In an instant, his entire being became invigorated.

Li Mu, hearing this sudden shriek, was also taken aback.

Li Mu had never expected that someone with Old Qin's personality would be so startled and lose his composure, his courage even smaller than a mouse's.

Old Qin's shriek was so jarring that it displeased Li Mu, so Li Mu spoke, "Stop yelling…"

Hearing this, Old Qin immediately shut his mouth, then looked closely and realized that the person standing before him was none other than Li Mu.

When Old Qin saw Li Mu, his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Old Qin was so excited that he immediately jumped off the bed, tried to calm himself down, and then bowed slightly to Li Mu, saying, "Senior, I'm so sorry! I lost my composure just now; please don't laugh at me."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head, indicating he didn't mind, and then asked, "You must be the person who fell from the sky that day, right?"

Old Qin quickly nodded in response, "That would be me."

Li Mu nodded, then deliberately feigned curiosity and asked, "What exactly happened that day? I seem to have heard my voice.

Please tell me in detail what happened that day."

Old Qin nodded repeatedly and began to recall the scene at the time.

Old Qin described in detail how he fell, including the various arrangements made by the future Li Mu, and the appearance of a traitor, fortunately being rescued and treated by the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, and a series of other experiences...

"That's everything I have to say."

After Old Qin finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

Li Mu listened, feigning surprise and showing a hint of anger, but soon fell silent.

After a while, Li Mu slowly nodded and said, "I understand. I will go find Senior Wu Ya later and explain this matter to him."

On the other side.

Jin Meiting and the others heard Old Qin's shriek and all put down what they were doing, rushing one after another to Old Qin's room.

Subsequently, Jin Meiting and the others were dumbfounded, watching Old Qin and Li Mu chatting happily in the room.

The moment Xin Mulan saw Li Mu, her eyes lit up.

So, Xin Mulan was the first to enter the room and said, "Li Mu? You really came!"

After speaking, Xin Mulan looked at Old Qin suspiciously again, "Old Qin, why are you screaming like an old sister-in-law? Did Li Mu molest you?"

Hearing Xin Mulan's astonishing words, the others also reacted one after another.

Jin Meiting curiously observed Li Mu. This was, in fact, the second time she had seen the true face of this Li Mu.

The last time they met, she was stunned by Li Mu's power, and coupled with the darkness of the night, she hadn't observed him too carefully.

Li Mu appeared very young, with a handsome face and an extraordinary, ethereal temperament and aura.

What felt most incongruous was Li Mu's profound eyes, which did not match his age, like a dried-up well, without a ripple.

Jin Meiting gracefully walked up to Li Mu, smiling as she greeted him, "Li Mu, long time no see!"

Then Jin Meiting turned to Xin Mulan beside her and teased, "Mulan, don't talk nonsense, or be careful Li Mu might just 'snip' you!"

"After all, when the spiritual energy tide arrived, Li Mu just snapped his fingers, and all the Yao Beasts present turned into dust…"

Li Mu's lips curved slightly, revealing a faint smile in response.

Jin Meiting looked around, her gaze sweeping over everyone, then, like a social butterfly, she enthusiastically began to introduce everyone present to Li Mu one by one.

"Li Mu, come, let me introduce you. This is Lan Kun, that is Hu Bingbing, and there's Qin Zhe, Zhao He…"

Li Mu actually knew Lan Kun and the others, but he deliberately pretended not to know them, a friendly smile on his face, listening attentively as Jin Meiting introduced everyone.

After Jin Meiting finished the introductions, Li Mu smiled and greeted everyone, "Hello everyone! You all seem to be in great spirits!"

Li Mu's voice revealed a sense of warmth and friendliness, making people feel as comfortable as if bathed in a spring breeze.

Lan Kun and Qin Zhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his easygoing tone, as they had originally thought Li Mu might put on some airs as a Senior, but the reality was completely the opposite.

Li Mu was not only gentle but also very approachable.

Qin Zhe was so excited at this moment, as if he had seen his idol, and eagerly picked up a notebook from the nearby desk, pleading with Li Mu for an autograph.

Lan Kun was equally excited; after all, Li Mu had sacrificed too much for everyone, making immense contributions.

From every perspective, Li Mu was absolutely a respectable figure.

Seeing that Li Mu actually signed for Qin Zhe, everyone gathered around, asking all sorts of questions at once.

Li Mu, however, maintained a smile, patiently answering everyone's questions, and occasionally cracking a joke, making everyone burst into laughter.

At this moment, Xin Mulan curiously asked, "Li Mu, how is Linglong doing now?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and replied, "Linglong is doing very well."

Lan Kun: "Previously, Ji Jiangxue left Mount Tai in the form of a Clone and also said she ate a ball of green light. What was that?"

Li Mu was startled, seemingly not expecting that Ji Jiangxue had actually left Mount Tai in the form of a Clone.

After some thought, "Ji Jiangxue's words are probably due to the last spiritual energy tide, which caused Mount Tai to absorb a vast amount of Spiritual Qi, thus activating some aspect of Ji Jiangxue's abilities."

"As for the ball of green light you just mentioned, if I'm not mistaken, it should be formed by incense."

Lan Kun wondered, "Incense?"

Li Mu nodded, "Yes, when people have reverence for something and also offer sacrifices to it, over time, a specific kind of incense will form."

Lan Kun hesitated, saying, "But Ji Jiangxue didn't stay in Mount Tai for very long…"

Li Mu explained, "Mount Tai has held a very high status since ancient times, and ancient emperors would also choose to perform the Fengshan sacrifice there. This led to a strong presence of incense Qi in Mount Tai. Perhaps due to this spiritual energy tide, Ji Jiangxue had this Opportunity."

After speaking, Li Mu looked at the sky outside, "I have something else to do later. Let's meet again at the Cultivation Academy next time!"

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, in a moment, Li Mu disappeared before everyone's eyes.
