Led by Chen Siqi, the two of them came to Li Mu's courtyard in high spirits.

"Siqi, what's wrong?" Li Mu asked.

"It's nothing. They both wanted to meet you, so I just brought them here. Don't think too much about it. I haven't forgiven you yet!" Chen Siqi explained quickly.

"Haha, okay." Li Mu said with a smile.

"Hello, Brother Li Mu, I am Zhou Peining, and this is Sun Yating. We are both Siqi's good sisters." Zhou Peining said.

"Hello!" Li Mu nodded.

"Hehe, Brother Li Mu, you were so awesome at the dinner that day. You even dared to hug Fairy Yin in public. Don't you know that you made my brother so angry? If grandpa hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to go over and teach you a lesson! Later, he couldn't eat for several days when he returned home." Zhou Peining looked admiring.

"Why do you seem so happy seeing your brother getting humiliated?" Sun Yating said.

"Of course, he's just a playboy who hangs out outside all day. No one at home can take care of him except my grandfather. He also cheated me of a lot of pocket money!" Zhou Peining looked indignant.

"Zhou Mingyu is quite kind, right? I didn't think he was that kind of person!" Chen Siqi interrupted.

"It's all superficial. Our Zhou family is just a third-rate family in Kyoto. Naturally, he wouldn't dare to act rude in front of you. Besides, you're a beauty. He once wanted me to introduce you to him!" Zhou Peining said.

"In that case, do you want me to help you teach him a lesson?" Chen Siqi rubbed his hands.

"That's not necessary. He is my brother after all." Zhou Peining waved his hands repeatedly.

"By the way, Brother Li Mu, tomorrow night is my birthday dinner, do you want to come? You don't know how famous you are in our circle. If you can come, it will definitely cause a sensation, hehe!" Zhou Peining looked expectant.

"Why are you calling him? He doesn't know those people!" Chen Siqi looked panicked.

"What's the big deal? Just for fun!" Zhou Peining said.

"Okay, I'll go!" Li Mu looked at Chen Siqi meaningfully and agreed.

"Haha, that's great, then it's settled. You and Siqi can come here together then!" Zhou Peining said excitedly.

Afterwards, Zhou Peining and Sun Yating left the Chen Mansion.

"Why are you so nervous about me attending your best friend's birthday party? Is there someone special you don't want me to meet?" Li Mu asked Chen Siqi.

"I...I didn't, you're talking nonsense!" Chen Siqi's face suddenly turned red.

"You did quite well this time. You actually made it to the ninth level before your grandparents." Li Mu did not continue asking questions and changed the subject.

"Hmph~ It's all your fault for trapping me in the tower. If it weren't for my extraordinary talent, I don't know how long I would have been trapped!" Chen Siqi said angrily.

"It's really not easy to pass the trial tower in such a short time!" said Li Mu.

"Hehe, of course, brother, you don't know how dangerous I was in the tower..." Chen Siqi suddenly became energetic and talked non-stop, completely forgetting that she was still angry with Li Mu the moment before.

"Okay, when you have nothing to do, take the time to practice. With your current level of control over spiritual energy, it will be no problem for you to break through to the Golden Core state in one go." After saying this, Li Mu gave Chen Siqi some spirit stones.

"Really? That's great, I can surpass grandpa again!" Chen Siqi was very happy after hearing this, and she skipped back to her room to practice with the spirit stone in her hand.

Li Mu shook his head and continued reading the novel. Perhaps this might seem boring to others, but Li Mu had lived for tens of thousands of years and had experienced everything. He had long been accustomed to such an ordinary life, and sometimes he even doubted the meaning of such longevity.

After Li Mu became the first Immortal Emperor, he enjoyed the feeling of standing at the top of the Immortal Realm, but after only a few thousand years, he felt bored. He began to travel around the universe and experienced various civilizations, but after a few thousand years, he felt bored again.

Later, he simply returned to the fairyland to meditate in seclusion to seek a breakthrough, and this seclusion lasted for ten thousand years.

It was early autumn now. Li Mu was sitting in the courtyard. The leaves rustled and fell from time to time. After a while, it began to drizzle. However, Li Mu was unmoved. The raindrops automatically avoided him before falling on him.

The next day, the old servant of the Chen Mansion came to Li Mu's yard to sweep up the fallen leaves. Looking at Li Mu sitting in the yard, he said with a smile: "Master Li Mu, you got up so early?"

"Well, I can't sleep!" Li Mu said.

"Haha, the air after the rain is especially fresh. Sitting in the yard is such a pleasure." The old servant said as he began to sweep up the fallen leaves.

"Every year at this time, these leaves fall all over the place, and it's really hard to clean them up. Haha, maybe this is my last year cleaning up the fallen leaves here. No matter how tall the trees are, their fallen leaves will return to the roots and feed the trunks. I'm so old now, it's time for me to return to my hometown and enjoy a peaceful life." The old servant murmured to himself.

Li Mu was lost in thought. Wasn't he also a leaf on that high branch? Wait, was it because the tree trunk itself couldn't reach that height that he could not break through? Could it be that the leaves also need to return to their roots and feed the tree trunk? Of course, he couldn't let himself feed the tree trunk. Would he kill other immortal emperors and let them feed the tree trunk?

As soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Li Mu. After all, he was not that kind of big devil and could not do such a thing. He shook his head and thought that he had to think of other ways.

"Haha, Master Li Mu, I may be a little too talkative, please don't be offended!" said the old servant to Li Mu.

"It's okay, what you said does make sense. You should spend more time with your family. I will ask Butler Qi to prepare a pension for you, and you can go to him to collect it later. It can be regarded as my personal support to you!" Li Mu came to his senses and said. The old servant's casual words could actually give him some insights. Although he rejected it, Li Mu still decided to give him some rewards.

"Thank you, Young Master Li Mu!" The old servant hurriedly expressed his gratitude and cleaned even harder.

After the old servant left, Li Mu called Butler Qi and told him about the old servant, asking Butler Qi to prepare 10 million for him and put it into Li Mu's account.

Butler Qi agreed repeatedly, and at the same time he was a little envious. Ten million! As the butler of the Chen family, he could not earn several tens of millions in his life. This old servant was actually appreciated by Li Mu and was rewarded with ten million at will! However, he was just sighing. The Chen family treated him well. He was also very old and had no children. Money was not of much use to him.

Ten million is nothing to Li Mu, but for ordinary people, it is enough to spend a lifetime. The weight of the reward does not lie in the rewarder, but in the rewarded person.
