Ye Lanxun's handsome face seemed to appear in front of her eyes. Mu Hanyan shook her head violently, drove Ye Lanxun's shadow and these strange assumptions out of her mind, and went back to the house.

Back in her room, Mu Hanyan once again practiced the hand seals she'd learned from the Xinghuan Qianji Jue, integrating them with the Tianxin Gong method. After a while, she finally found her groove, warning herself, "Beauty can be deceptive, beauty can be deceptive." "Ye Lanxun, you're such a disaster! I'd better not look at you anymore."

…

As night fell, the bustling Black Stone City gradually quieted down, but the Third Elder's house was decorated with lights and a festive atmosphere.

A sumptuous banquet was laid out in the hall. At the main table, the Third Elder was holding an old man's hand and laughing heartily. "Counting on my fingers, it's been nearly ten years since we last met in Shanyang City. Master Qu is still as charming as ever, looking younger and younger. He is truly a master."

The old man whose hand was being held had a reserved smile on his face. If Mu Hanyan and Mu Nan were present, they would definitely be shocked. It turned out that the worldly master that the third elder had been thinking about for many days was actually the old charlatan Qu Shanlingqu.

"Third Elder, thank you so much," Qu Shengun said with a calm smile, stroking his long beard. He truly had the aura of a master. But inwardly, he was secretly complaining: I didn't even have time to dye my hair properly on the way to Blackrock City. My black hair is almost showing. How can I not look younger?

"Thanks to the help of our respected master, I was able to foresee the danger and escape from the disaster that day. I wanted to express my gratitude to our respected master, but was delayed due to busy work. Now that I have finally had some free time, I didn't expect that our respected master has passed away. It is really a pity." The third elder said with a look of regret.

More than ten years ago, he went to Longyan Mountains to travel and practice. When he passed by Shanyang City, he met Qu Shanling and his master. At that time, his master had not passed away yet. He said that he had a connection with the Third Elder and told him that he would face several dangers when he went to Longyan Mountains.

As an elder of the Mu family, ordinary astrologers would not be in the eyes of the third elder. Because Qu Shanling's master was a humble person with little fame, the third elder did not take him seriously at all.

Qu Shanling's master was not angry. He left three sachets and took Qu Shanling away.

Later events fully proved his words. The Third Elder suffered repeated disasters in the Longyan Mountains, relying on the three brocade bags to survive time and time again. Although he was seriously injured when he escaped from the Longyan Mountains, he knew that without the three brocade bags, he would have been killed without a burial place.

The third elder was amazed by Master Qu Shanling and his apprentice, but he was seriously injured and could not go to thank them in person. After he recovered from his injury, he took over the Mu family's various businesses in Black Stone City, and was even more unable to spare time. He could only send people to deliver letters and gifts to express his gratitude.

After that, the third elder often exchanged letters with Qu Shanling, and they could be considered to have been spiritual friends for many years.

Knowing Qu Shanling was coming to Blackrock City, the Third Elder was naturally overjoyed. With such a brilliant master, the disciple couldn't be much worse, right? Furthermore, he had met Qu Shanling once before, and thought his demeanor and presence seemed even more impressive than his master's. Perhaps he was surpassing his master?

Such a master, the opportunity to curry favor with him must not be missed. Therefore, the Third Elder began preparing for it several days in advance, and the banquet was much more grand than the average family banquet.

"Thank you, Third Elder, for your concern. If my master knew, he would be deeply pleased." Whenever Qu Shanling spoke of his master, his habitual charlatan expression dropped, his expression becoming solemn and dignified. This respect for the master who had personally raised him came from the bottom of his heart.

The two chatted about small things while waiting for the banquet to be served.

"Master Qu, while the dishes are not yet ready, I would like to ask for your help in two things." said the third elder.
