69: You are really good at judging people!

Huling Fu, Nanfu County City, Mu Family Manor.

Two figures, swords in hand and wearing bamboo hats, arrived at the entrance of the Mu Family Manor. One of them said, “Senior Brother, this is it. We’ve arrived.”

The person beside him also lifted his bamboo hat, revealing a refined face. He looked at the luxurious Mu Family Manor and smiled faintly, “A good place.”

The guards at the gate also saw the two and exclaimed, “Young Master, you’ve returned!”

The two guards hurriedly walked over, greeted Mu Xingyu, and then took his luggage. When they saw Mu Xingyu’s unusually respectful attitude towards Li Qi, they knew that this person’s identity must be extraordinary, so they also bowed to Li Qi.

“Alright, Senior Brother, let’s go in.”

“Mm.”

The two walked into the manor. A servant had already gone in to announce their arrival, and soon a large group of people rushed over from various parts of the manor.

An old man in luxurious robes scurried over, “Xingyu! You’re back?”

“Yes, Father.”

Not only this old man, but also many of Mu Xingyu’s family members rushed over. These people were elegantly dressed and appeared to be of noble status.

Mu Xingyu then introduced the two parties to each other. When everyone learned that Li Qi was a True Essence Realm expert, they were all shocked and quickly greeted Li Qi.

Mu Xingyu was a Disciple of the Pine Crane Longevity Sect. How could his family not know what a True Essence Realm Martial Artist meant?

No matter where, a True Essence Realm expert was an existence that could not be ignored!

In this Nanfu County, if a True Essence Realm expert stamped his foot, the entire county city would tremble.

As the head of the Mu Family, Mu Zhuolin, Mu Xingyu’s father, quickly greeted, “Sir, please forgive this humble dwelling. The hospitality is lacking. Please come inside the manor.”

Surrounded by a group of people, Li Qi and Mu Xingyu took their seats. Immediately, servants brought out refreshments and tea.

“With Senior Brother protecting us, this journey to Fu City will surely be safe. Come.”

“Senior Brother, I’ll use tea instead of wine to toast you.”

After drinking a cup together, Li Qi also discussed the matters of traveling to Fu City with the people of the Mu Manor.

“Senior Brother, this is the route map for our team. Please take a look.”

Li Qi took the map handed to him by Mu Xingyu. A winding path was already drawn on it, and Mu Xingyu continued to explain beside him.

“On this trip, we will pass through three villages and four towns. If all goes well, we can reach Fu City in four days.”

Saying this, Mu Xingyu pointed out several marked locations on the map and said, “These places are relatively dangerous. We might be attacked here.”

Li Qi nodded, then looked around.

There were only a few high-ranking members of the Mu Family in the room, and no idlers were present, so Li Qi spoke.

“Since all these troubles were caused by the Zhu Family… if I go and kill them all now, will the problem be solved?”

“I remember you said that the Zhu Family are also people from this county city.”

As he spoke, a faint killing intent emerged from Li Qi’s body, and Li Qi’s smile gained a hint of coldness.

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone looked at Li Qi with shock.

Just from Li Qi’s words and his calm demeanor, one could tell that Li Qi was a decisive person. Combined with Li Qi’s current Martial Arts Realm, he absolutely had the ability to do this.

Mu Xingyu also widened his eyes, then smiled wryly and shook his head, “I also thought of this method, but it’s no longer possible.”

“The Zhu Family were indeed people from Nanfu County City many years ago, but they lost when competing with us in business, and then they withdrew from here.”

“Although they still have some marginalized small businesses in the county city, their core members are not here. Now they are probably all hiding… so this method won’t work for now.”

Li Qi shrugged and said indifferently, “Fine, then let’s go with your plan.”

Today, everyone was making the final preparations. Early tomorrow morning, the Mu Family’s team would depart for Fu City.

After finalizing the travel plan for the next few days, Li Qi was also arranged by the Mu Family to rest.

In a beautiful courtyard of the Mu Manor.

Li Qi lay down on a lounge chair by the pond. Beside him, several servants were preparing tea and refreshments, carefully attending to Li Qi.

Li Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. It was quite delicious, and the slight fatigue from the long journey quickly dissipated.

At this moment, a delicate figure appeared at the courtyard entrance and walked gracefully towards him.

Several servants stepped forward to greet her, “Young Miss.”

“You may withdraw.”

“Yes.”

After dismissing the servants, the woman came to Li Qi’s side and bowed gracefully.

“This servant greets Young Master.”

“You are?”

“This servant’s name is Mu Qianling, and I am Xingyu’s older sister.”

“Oh.”

Li Qi carefully observed Mu Qianling and found that she was actually a Body Tempering Realm Peak Martial Artist. She would probably be able to advance to the True Qi Realm in no time.

Most Martial Artists are men; very few women practice martial arts, and even fewer women can achieve something notable.

Mu Qianling leaned down, revealing a deep cleavage, and fiddled with the tea set on the table: “The servants are clumsy. Let Qianling serve Young Master instead.”

“Alright.”

Mu Qianling’s hands were very nimble, she had clearly studied tea ceremony. Not only were her tea-making movements beautiful, but a rich tea aroma also wafted over.

“Young Master, the tea is ready. Please try this servant’s craftsmanship.”

“Mm.”

Taking the tea handed to him by the woman, Li Qi took a sip. It was indeed much better: “Not bad, it’s very delicious.”

“As long as Young Master likes it.”

Saying this, Mu Qianling sat down close to Li Qi, chatting idly with him and discussing some interesting anecdotes from Nanfu County. A pleasant feminine scent wafted from Mu Qianling’s body.

Li Qi came to the Mu Manor, but it wasn't Mu Xingyu who came to entertain him; it was his older sister, Mu Qianling, who came to accompany him. Li Qi also guessed her intention.

It was probably to use her beauty to strengthen his relationship with the Mu Family…

If he were to make some slightly excessive requests now… perhaps Mu Qianling would even agree.

Mu Qianling could be considered a lady from a prominent family. The Mu Family arranged for her to be by Li Qi’s side, enticing him with her beauty…

A playful look appeared at the corner of Li Qi’s mouth.

To this, he only wanted to say… they really know how to pick people!

Having a beautiful woman accompany him and serve him attentively was, in any case, very enjoyable. Li Qi also enjoyed it greatly; it was certainly more interesting than drinking plain tea by himself.

Mu Qianling’s performance was excellent. Not only was she beautiful and graceful, but she also had a gentle temperament that easily made people feel good about her.

Of course, she wasn't without flaws.

That was, Mu Qianling was still a bit too reserved.

Li Qi’s girlfriends in his previous life, each of them was incredibly skilled. To say nothing else… they were all Saintesses of the Joyous Union Sect, without a doubt.

Compared to them, Mu Qianling was still a bit lacking.

“Young Master, what are you thinking about? You seemed a bit distracted just now…”

“Nothing, just recalling some past events.”

“Let’s continue chatting…”
