Li Mu, a cultivator undergoing tribulation, suddenly transmigrated.
After waking up, Li Mu had no interest in money; only becoming stronger mattered to him. For those who wanted to kill him, ...
When Wang Yue learned that Li Mu said his name was Mu Zi Li, she was still very happy, but she also felt that Li Mu's parents were too casual.
"Then what should I call you, Xiao Mu! Oh no, you should be a bit older than me, so how about I call you Mu Mu from now on?" Wang Yue said thoughtfully, then smiled and looked at Li Mu, as if to see if Li Mu had any objections.
"Sure! Just don't call me Little Li." When Li Mu heard Wang Yue say she would call him Mu Mu from now on, he instantly felt that the distance between them had narrowed a bit. He had already given her a fake name, and this girl was actually calling him by his real name. Wasn't that too much of a coincidence?
"Mumu, Mumu, let's go eat! Big Mumu!" Hearing that she was allowed to call him Mumu, Wang Yue was very happy. Then she started to be mischievous again, calling out "Big Mumu" and skipping away.
Perhaps influenced by Wang Yue's outgoing personality, Li Mu felt quite pleased watching Wang Yue chatting and laughing in front of him.
In the medical school's cafeteria, Wang Yue generously served Li Mu a large portion of food, even taking some from her own plate in case he didn't have enough. Li Mu wanted to say something, but then decided against it and just focused on eating.
While eating, Wang Yue asked, "Mu Mu, do you know that Shi Hao? I saw him talking to you before."
Li Mu: "Shi Hao? I don't know him. You mean that boy with glasses?"
Wang Yue: "Oh! I thought you two knew each other. Let me tell you, he's a very popular figure at our school!"
Li Mu: "Really?"
.
Li Mu noticed that the group of people kept glancing at them, and he just wanted to finish eating and leave quickly. But since Wang Yue wanted to talk, he had no choice but to agree, and he even had to listen to her gossip about the bespectacled man.
Wang Yue started gossiping about Shi Hao. Shi Hao was a senior at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with fairly good grades. This guy liked reading online novels and had started writing fantasy cultivation novels himself, and had become somewhat famous in the online literature circle.
Writing novels wasn't Wang Yue's main point. The reason Shi Hao became a prominent figure was because he included numerous traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions in his online novels. It's unclear what he was thinking, but he personally prepared herbal packets based on these prescriptions, and even brewed them into decoctions and pills.
Initially, Shi Hao wanted to give the medicinal soup and pills to his roommates, but no one paid attention. So, he had the wild idea of selling them online. Surprisingly, some people actually dared to buy them and even eat them. As a result, most people were fine after eating them, but a small number of people experienced mild poisoning. The matter became a big deal and the whole school knew about it. In the end, the school had to step in to resolve the issue, and he and his family also had to pay some compensation.
After some time had passed since the pill incident, Shi Hao began to publish the cultivation techniques from his novels online and called on some fans to practice them together. He also frequently posted videos of himself practicing online, and this matter, after spreading, naturally became known throughout the entire school.
After listening, Li Mu first thought Shi Hao was ignorant and audacious, then thought that this person was really talented. If he could guide him and give him some prescriptions, he might actually be able to achieve something. However, this seemed unrealistic.
When Wang Yue talked about Shi Hao, Li Mu couldn't help but think of a joke he saw online, and he burst out laughing.
The joke is about a man named Yang Yixiao whose epitaph was short and concise, summarizing his life in just a few words.
"He first studied literature, but failed the imperial examinations for three years; then he learned martial arts, but in the training ground, he fired an arrow that hit the drummer, and was expelled; so he studied medicine and became quite proficient. He wrote a good prescription, took it, and died."
"Hey! Isn't it hilarious?" After Wang Yue finished speaking, she saw Li Mu burst out laughing and realized that Li Mu had gotten the joke.
"It's alright, sorry." Li Mu touched the corner of his mouth, feeling somewhat impolite, and replied.
.
The meal lasted for more than half an hour, mostly with Wang Yue doing all the talking. Li Mu learned that Wang Yue originally studied clinical surgery, but couldn't stand experimenting on small animals, so she switched to the pharmacy department.
After finishing their meal, Wang Yue went back to her dorm room, took the book Li Mu had given her, and the two of them went to the library together.
At Wang Yue's request, the two were reading together in the reading room, but after only ten minutes, they attracted a lot of attention. Li Mu was flipping through the book too fast, disturbing others.
Under Wang Yue's somewhat helpless gaze, Li Mu went to the bookshelf to read. In one afternoon, with the help of his divine sense, he read over a hundred books.
After politely declining Wang Yue's dinner invitation, Li Mu left the school gate and headed back.
Halfway there, as he passed a bathhouse, Li Mu sensed a hint of danger coming from behind him, so he turned around warily.
Two people ran out of the bathhouse, one in front of the other. The one in front was tall and imposing, seemingly fleeing, while the one behind, though not as tall, exuded a menacing aura.
"Phew!" Li Mu exhaled, sensing that the two had already run far away, and the danger was over. Just as Li Mu was about to withdraw his divine sense, the person behind caught up with the burly man in front, knocked him unconscious with a single palm strike, and shouted:
"Wang Jun, you beast, you think you can escape? Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will not let you go."
"Wang Jun?" Upon hearing the name Wang Jun, Li Mu thought of the fourth leader of the Four Triads, who was also named Wang Jun. He wondered if it was this guy. So, he followed him.
.
"Friend! What do you want by following me here? Even if the King of Heaven himself came, I would still take this person away. If you want him, then make your move and see if I, Shu Tiancheng, can kill you." Shu Tiancheng stared at Li Mu with a cold expression and said.
“Friend, you’ve misunderstood. I just heard you call this person Wang Jun. I just wanted to confirm something. I wonder if this person is the Wang Jun from the Four Triads. I have some grudges against that Wang Jun.”
Although Li Mu was somewhat dissatisfied with Shu Tiancheng's words, seeing that the man looked upright and didn't seem like a bad person, he stopped worrying about the details of his words. Besides, Wang Jun was never a good person to begin with.
"Oh! I'm sorry to offend you. This man is the Wang Jun you mentioned. He harmed my family some time ago, and I want to take him back to hear the truth. If it's just a minor grudge, you can rest assured that he won't live past tonight. If you have any questions, you can come with me. I'll ask him first, and then you can ask him your questions."
Li Mu: "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Shu Tiancheng: "Please come in!"
Li Mu had already realized that Shu Tiancheng was a martial artist, and he could also sense a trace of a sect in Shu Tiancheng's methodical speech. Originally, Shu Tiancheng said that he wouldn't let Wang Jun live past tonight, so he didn't need to go. However, he wanted to see how Shu Tiancheng would treat Wang Jun, and he was even more curious to see what methods these martial artists would use to kill people, and how they would dispose of the bodies afterward.
.
Shu Tiancheng quickly carried Wang Jun to an SUV, threw him into the back of the car like a dead dog, and after the two got in and exchanged names, they stopped talking.
Lijingyuan is an old residential area, mostly consisting of six- or seven-story buildings.
Li Mu followed Shu Tiancheng to the third floor of a building. The apartment was small, with two bedrooms. In one of the bedrooms, a woman was half-lying on the bed. She was pale and looked sick, and she was holding a shivering girl in her arms.
As soon as Shu Tiancheng entered, he slapped Wang Jun awake and forced him to kneel beside the bed. He threatened, "You beast, apologize to my sister right now and name everyone who harmed her. Otherwise, you're dead."
