Looking at his face and noticing the absence of murderous intent emanating from him, Mu Run felt slightly reassured, her expression becoming even more composed and calm. "Who are you?"
"My name is Yong Li, and I am Fu Yunchen's junior brother."
“…Junior brother?” Mu Run was speechless. Since he was her junior brother, was it necessary for him to sneak over like an assassin in the middle of the night, and even choose the bathhouse where she was taking a bath?
How can you prove it?
Yong Li took out his Kunlun Sect waist token, which had the words "Yong Li" written on it, along with a miniature map of the Kunlun Sect's mountains.
After Mu Run looked at it, he nodded, confirming his identity. Fu Yunchen also had the same waist tag.
"I'm looking for my senior brother, where is he?"
"What...what do you want with him?" Mu Run asked.
Yongli replied, "My junior sister is getting married and wants to invite him back to the mountain to attend the wedding."
Mu Run thought of Meng Zhi, who was both proud and somewhat naive, and said, "That's great news! Congratulations to her! When is the ceremony?"
"The tenth day of the ninth month."
"It's still early. Fu Yunchen isn't in the palace. I'll tell him when he returns."
“Alright, Your Majesty…” Yongli reached into his pocket, but his expression changed again as he did so. “Where’s the invitation?”
Then, in front of Mu Run, he took off his outer clothes, along with some odds and ends: a silver bag, a map, a fan, a fake leather mask, a Kunlun Sect waist token... In the end, wearing only his inner garment, he still couldn't find what he was looking for.
Mu Run: ...Are the disciples of the Kunlun Sect really this unrestrained and unconventional?
"Looks like it's lost. I'll go look for it now." Without waiting for Mu Run's reaction, she put on her clothes and went out the window.
Mu Run: "..."
After drinking another cup of calming water, his gaze suddenly fell on the ground.
The mysterious and elusive Yongli left behind something—a small jade pendant no bigger than a fingertip.
She picked up the small jade pendant, her eyes widening in surprise, for the jade on the pendant was no ordinary piece; it was made of spiritual jade.
Spirit jade is also a type of spirit stone, just like jadeite is to stones.
Mu Run walked to the window, looking at the deep night outside where Yong Li could no longer be seen or heard. He stroked the jade tablet, feeling the spiritual energy emanating from the jade itself. Are there still spirit stones on the Yiyi Continent?
However, if even a mountain god exists, then having spirit stones is nothing special.
...
The next morning, Mu Run was reviewing memorials in his study.
Hongmi came over with an invitation, her expression somewhat strange. "Sister-in-law, take a look at this invitation."
Mu Run looked up from the memorial, squinted slightly, and glanced at Hong Mi with a few points of thought, "What invitation?"
"It looks like it was sent to the boss by the Kunlun Sect." Hongmi handed the invitation to Murun.
Mu Run then remembered the uninvited guest from last night—Yong Li.
He opened the invitation and glanced at it. "Meng Zhi is getting married. I'm sending an invitation to your leader so he can return to the sect to attend the wedding."
"Is your sister-in-law going?"
"They didn't invite me."
"But it didn't say that my sister-in-law couldn't go. She can go with the eldest brother to Kunlun Sect, and take Huanhuan, Tuantuan, and Zhuangzhuang with her. It's like a trip incognito."
"It's not that easy to just leave like that. Who would read these memorials?" Mu Run shook his head; it was impossible.
Hongmi said, "It's alright. Every time the eldest brother goes to see his wife, he can't handle official business for a while. We can worry about these things when you come back."
Mu Run was somewhat tempted. "Then I'll ask your boss when he gets back."
Hongmi nodded, "As long as sister-in-law brings it up, the eldest brother won't refuse."
