"May I have your name?"

Lu Li reached out and tried to pat his head.

The soldier didn't resist at all; instead, he replied with a grin, "Cangwu, big brother, my name is Cangwu!"

"Cangwu? From the blue sea in the morning to Cangwu in the evening! What a good name."

Lu Li slowly unlocked the chains of the iron cage, and Cangwu instantly leaped out of it.

Lu Li was startled. At that moment, Little Deer instantly shielded Lu Li and said, "Brother Lu, be careful!"

Seeing this scene, Lu Li couldn't help but feel moved. This little girl, it's clear that he hadn't spoiled her in vain.

But how could a grown man let a woman protect him? He gently pushed the little deer aside and said, "It's alright."

Cangwu did not attack Lu Li; instead, he stood in front of Lu Li, smiling at him.

"Big brother, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

Cangwu tilted his little head, looking at Lu Li with a slightly aggrieved expression.

Lu Li quickly took out two millet cakes from his pocket and handed them to Cangwu.

He took the pastry and began to wolf it down, his eating manners even less refined than Guiguzi's.

"Big brother, where shall we go to play?"

After Cangwu finished eating his dry rations, he quickly asked.

Lu Li patted his head again and said, "Your bracelets and shackles are still on."

Cangwu looked down and instantly broke free of the iron chain and shackles, which were as thick as his wrist, leaving Lu Li and Xiao Lu'er dumbfounded.

"Born with superhuman strength, terrifying beyond belief!!!"

"Hehe, that works now!"

Although Cangwu is already seventeen years old, he still has the mind of a child.

When Lu Li turned around, he found that Guiguzi was nowhere to be seen.

"Damn it! That old man!"

Lu Li cursed inwardly; this old guy was quick to run away.

Guiguzi led Cangwu out from the back mountain and was surprised to see Lu Li and the other two.

"Huh? He's not manic?"

Hearing Guiguzi's words, Lu Li felt even more displeased.

What's this old guy up to? Does he want Cangwu to go berserk?

"Master...aren't you a little...?"

"Isn't that a bit too disrespectful to elders?" Little Deer chimed in, asking angrily.

Seeing Lu Li and Xiao Lu'er's ashen faces, Guiguzi smiled awkwardly and said, "Since he didn't hurt you, it means this kid is destined to be with you!"

"Quick! Let's get going, or that old guy will regret it and we won't be able to leave."

After saying that, Guiguzi led Lu Li and the other two down the mountain at a fast pace.

Lu Li was still very curious. He especially wanted to know what kind of bet the two old guys had made. They actually used someone as envied by the heavens as a wager. You have to know that someone like Cangwu is a powerful weapon in this era, a war god-level figure.

Just think of Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba and you'll understand.

Seeing Guiguzi's flustered appearance, Lu Li didn't have time to ask any more questions and quickly descended Wangwu Mountain.

After Lu Li and his group descended the mountain, mournful cries echoed from Wangwu Mountain, but they could no longer hear them.

"You brat, you must treat this soldier well; he is a gift from your master to you."

Although Guiguzi's offering of a living person made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But Guiguzi was genuinely good to him, and a warm feeling welled up in Lu Li's heart.

But then he remembered how quickly the old guy had slipped away, and he got angry again.

“Master, he has a name, his name is Cangwu.”

Lu Li looked at Cangwu. Although he was not fully intelligent, the child was kind-hearted.

It can be said that, apart from Xiao Lu'er, Cangwu was the purest person Lu Li had ever met.

His irritability stems from his inability to control his power and his lack of knowledge on how to use it. By keeping him by my side and constantly teaching him, I can surely control the violent emotions within him.

"Cangwu... that old fellow certainly knows how to name things. Alright, let's go back to Yunmeng Mountain!"

After three years of traveling, Lu Li was finally returning to Yunmeng Mountain, and he felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Three years—not a long time, but not a short time either. Now it's finally time to go back!

Yunmeng Mountain is the Taoist temple of Guigu.

This mountain soars into the clouds, its peaks covered in snow, stretching endlessly. The mountain is rich in spiritual energy and teeming with life, truly a paradise on earth.

At the foot of the mountain, there is an ancient stone tablet with the two characters "Guigu" engraved on it. The characters are written in a vigorous and elegant style, making it particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the snow-white sky.

This was Lu Li's first time visiting Yunmeng Mountain. There were many households at the foot of the mountain, and according to Guiguzi, these people were all outer disciples.

Because in the Guigu School, each generation of direct disciples can have a maximum of only two people.

However, outer disciples can be accepted at will, because someone needs to guard the mountain gate, do chores, and so on.

Lu Li and the other two followed behind Guiguzi back to Guigu's dojo.

Guiguzi summoned everyone on the mountain and announced that Lu Li had become his only personal disciple.

All the outer disciples of Yunmeng Mountain looked at Lu Li in surprise. They were puzzled. Their master had not accepted any personal disciples for so many years, but now, after traveling for three years, he had brought back a personal disciple.

Among the crowd, the person standing at the head of the group had a look of shock and resentment in his eyes.

Lu Li noticed him at this moment; it was Yue Qi. The two looked at each other, and Lu Li saw a cold glint in his eyes.

So that's why he held such a high position among the outer disciples. No wonder he was so hostile towards Lu Li from the very beginning. If it weren't for Lu Li, he would have been the most likely successor to the Ghost Valley lineage.
