Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

"closed!"

Under the rain curtain, looking at the closed shop door, Xu Mu believed Chi Feiyan's words a little more.

These shops rarely closed before, but now they all close at the same time. Even a fool knows there is something wrong.

He originally wanted to buy a few defensive magic weapons, but now it seems that there is no chance.

"No wonder there were so few people when we first entered Fangshi!"

etc!

Xu Mu suddenly realized, if it was a strange situation, could it be that no one noticed the abnormality?

There is never a shortage of smart people in this world!

Xu Muxin raised his eyebrows.

He went to find Shopkeeper Tu, originally wanting to inquire about the situation and remind him, but as a result, the other party also closed down and disappeared.

"I guess I've got the news! Forget it!"

Xu Mu no longer cared much, and walked quickly towards home after leaving Fangshi.

Da da!

The sound of subtle footsteps, mixed with the sound of falling raindrops, reached Xu Mu's ears from behind.

He was only ten steps away!

Such a slight sound, coupled with the interference of the rain, would not be felt by ordinary cultivators, but Xu Mu, who had reached the Marrow Refining realm in body refining, could easily distinguish it.

"Two mid-Qi training masters blessed with invisibility! What do you mean? Do you want to sap me?"

Xu Mu frowned slightly, pretending not to know, and deliberately entered a nearby uninhabited alley.

The footsteps are getting closer.

Seven steps!

Five steps!

…

Three steps!

Two steps!

Clang!

Before the two of them took action, Xu Mu took action first.

The red gold sword appeared in the hand, and the fifteen sharp gold arrays were instantly activated, emitting dazzling light, heat waves steaming, and the rainwater within several feet was forcibly pushed away.

Before the two people who made the sneak attack could react, Xu Mu's figure had disappeared.

A red lightning flashed across the void!

Poof!

A headless corpse appeared out of thin air, spraying blood, stumbled for a few steps, and fell into the water with a plop.

Xu Mu held an umbrella in one hand and a long sword in the other, holding the long sword in the air.

A tall and thin man slowly appeared under his sword.

The man's cheekbones were bulging high, and his face was full of fear.

"Why are you targeting me?" Xu Mu said coldly.

"Sir, I, we are just passing by...ah!"

The sharp blade cuts into the flesh, and the hot breath makes the flesh sizzle, filling the air with the aroma of meat.

"explain!"

"I said it, I said it! We are just looking at you, your cultivation level is not high, we just think it is easy to attack!" The man explained hurriedly.

"Sir, this little guy is short-sighted, so just treat me like a fart! I'll give you everything!"

"Aren't you afraid of the patrols if we do it during the day?"

Although the management of shantytowns is relatively loose, it is impossible for hands-on patrols to ignore them in broad daylight, and if they are witnessed, it will be difficult to run away.

After all, the city is so big, unless you have been hiding in the mountains and forests.

"ah?"

The man probably didn't expect Xu Mu to ask this suddenly. He was stunned for a moment and then said uncertainly: "That's because someone said that the Qinghe Sword Sect was defeated and the Soul Refining Sect was about to attack. We don't know whether it is true or not, but The patrol team has not patrolled in the past two days, and someone has already succeeded, so we wanted to try it!"

Anyone who wants to try it will die!

The news was indeed leaked!

Xu Mu thought to himself.

I'm afraid many people in the city have received the news, but most people are still unable to fully confirm it.

Everyone is testing, just like these two robbery cultivators in front of them.

It's just a pity that the two of them hit the wall.

The strength of these two people was at the level of the Li brothers. Xu Mu could easily kill them when he was at the fourth level of Qi training, let alone now.

"Sir, please forgive me..."

Poof!

The long sword swept across!

The man's body was separated instantly!

Whether the two of them wanted to sneak attack him or they saw his red gold sword, they would definitely die.

Putting the two bodies into special storage bags, Xu Mu's figure quickly disappeared into the rain.

After returning home, he burned the body to ashes and scattered it into the sewer at the entrance of the alley. Xu Mu opened the two people's storage bags and checked.

Thirty-four low-grade spiritual stones!

Two first-level defensive weapons!

More than ten talismans!

Several bottles of elixirs!

Three offensive weapons!

Several magic secret books!

"Poor guy!"

They were all worthless things, and Xu Mu, who had long since changed, put them away after just one glance.

"Ying'er, let's go to Lan Daoyou's house!" Xu Mu said to Ye Yingying who was busy in the kitchen.

"Ms. sir, what's the matter?" Ye Yingying asked doubtfully.

"You'll know when we get there!"

"oh!"

Ye Yingying picked up Xiao Linger who was sleeping and followed Xu Mu out of the house.

Bang bang!

"Fellow Daoist Xu, what are you doing?"

Lan Shijin, who was wearing blue brocade clothes, looked at Xu Mu in surprise. This was the first time she saw Xu Mu and Ye Yingying coming over to visit.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, can you let me go in first? I have something important to tell you!"

"good!"

Seeing that Xu Mu didn't look like he was joking, Lan Shijin opened the door and let the two of them into the house.

Compared with Xu Mu's house, Lan Shijin's residence is not only cleaner and tidier, but also has various decorations, antique and full of charm.

In the room, Leng Yuening, who was wearing white brocade clothes, was sitting on a chair, still practicing the ice cone technique. When she saw Xu Mu and Ye Yingying come in, she immediately released the spell, her pretty face thawed, and she habitually hugged Xiao Ling'er.

At this time, Xiao Ling'er had already rubbed her dazed eyes and woke up.

"Ling'er! Come let me give you a hug!"

Leng Yuening's voice was clear and sweet, like wind chimes surrounding her ears. It was completely different from the cold appearance and sounded very comfortable.

After long-term contact with the other party, Xu Mu discovered that Leng Yuening was actually a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

It's just that he usually comes into contact with too few people, so in order to protect himself, he behaves coldly and arrogantly.

It's a pity that this kind of enthusiasm is usually only for Xiao Ling'er.

"Dad...Dad..."

As soon as Ye Yingying put Xiao Ling'er on the ground, she stumbled towards Xu Mu and hugged his thigh tightly.

Instead, he ignored Leng Yuening.

Ever since she was able to walk, she began to act uncharacteristically and suddenly pestered Xu Mu. Whenever Xu Mu was free, she would hang on him and would not let go during meals.

Xu Mu, who was originally a little depressed because his daughter didn't get close to him, now doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Come on! Come on! I'll give you some candy!"

Leng Yuening pulled Xiao Ling'er twice, and seeing that she refused to let go, she took out a piece of maltose from her pocket and started teasing her.

Xiao Ling'er looked at her father's thigh, and then at the maltose in Leng Yuening's hand. Her big dark eyes turned back and forth, and she began to hesitate and struggle on her fair little face.

Xu Mu ignored the two people's banter and said, "Fellow Daoist Lan, I just went to Fangshi..."

Xu Mu told Lan Shijin all the news he heard from Chi Feiyan, as well as his own speculations.

"how so!"

After listening, Lan Shijin's face was full of shock. She sat blankly in her chair and was speechless for a long time.

Obviously she hadn't been to Fangshi for a while, so it was hard to accept the sudden news of such a change.

Originally, she was thinking of taking her daughter back to her parents' home after the war was over, but now it seems that her parents' home is in danger.

Compared to Xu Mu, it was even more difficult for her to accept it.

It took a while to calm down!

Leng Yuening and Ye Yingying were equally shocked.

Only Xiao Ling'er was holding the maltose and chewing it, carefree, her saliva was sticky everywhere, and her braid was dangling.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, I have decided to leave with the Chi family tomorrow. I wonder what your plans are next?"

Although there are many dangers in leaving with the Chi family, Xu Mu is really unwilling to put his life in the hands of others and prays that the people of the Soul Refining Sect are not as cruel as the legend says.

At the same time, it is also for future development!

After the Soul Refining Sect's sweep, Baishifang City may have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to return to its current glory.

And he is not young anymore and does not have so much time to wait.

The sooner he reaches the ninth level of Qi training, the greater the chance of breaking through the foundation building. If he really has to wait until he is eighty or ninety years old, even with the help of the system, he doesn't have much confidence.

Lan Shijin hesitated for a long time, but in the end she still didn't make up her mind to go with them.

She still didn't believe that the Qinghe Sword Sect could be defeated so easily.

"In that case, I'll take my leave! If fellow Taoist Lan changes his mind, you can come to me at any time before setting off tomorrow!" Xu Mu said with some regret.

He still hopes that the other party can follow, at least there is someone he knows who can look after each other, and Lan Shijin's strength is not too bad, and he is also proficient in formations, so he can play a lot of roles on the road.

As for the Chi family, he is not familiar with it at all!

If he hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have been able to follow him.

Even if they go together, he will be careful to watch out for each other on the road.

After leaving Lan Shijin's house, she happened to meet Li Moqing in the alley, who was coming back from outside.

Now she is wearing a robe, heavy makeup, and looks elegant and luxurious.

I don't know if it's because I've gotten along with some big shot or because my business has been so good recently. Not only has my dress and appearance skyrocketed, but my cultivation has also reached the third level of Qi training.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, sister Yingying, it's been so long!"

Seeing the two of them, Li Moqing immediately smiled like a flower.

He turned to look at Xiao Ling'er who was being held by Xu Mu, with a happy face on his face.

"Isn't this Xiao Ling'er? Come let Auntie give her a hug!"

Li Moqing reached out to hug her, but Xu Mu reached out to stop her.

Without even looking at Li Moqing, he turned around and entered the house with his wife and daughter.

"snort!"

Seeing Xu Mu's reaction, Li Moqing's face suddenly fell. She snorted coldly and returned to her yard angrily.

Xu Mu returned to his residence and immediately started packing his things.

"Ms. sir, do we really want to leave?"

Ye Yingying looked depressed and still didn't believe it.

Their family's life had just improved, and she had just adapted to the current life. Now it was really hard to accept that she was suddenly going to an unfamiliar place with a group of strangers.

"Don't be sad, everything will be fine as long as I'm here!"

Xu Mu held him in his arms and comforted him.

"My...my..."

Xiao Ling'er tried her best to pull her mother away, her father was hers.

It’s night time in a blink of an eye!

Xu Mu and his family had dinner, played with Xiao Ling'er for a while, and were about to go inside to rest when a shrill scream suddenly came from the direction of Fangshi.
