Early the next morning, Chen Xiuhua asked Li Mu to get up and have breakfast. Li Mu smiled bitterly and had to get up and sit at the dining table.
"By the way, Mu'er, aren't you going to visit Ji Ming today? Find out what happened to him and solve it for him. Ji Ming is actually a good kid. He helped us a lot during the years when you were not around! It's not easy for Sister Liu to raise him alone. We can't let him become decadent like this." Chen Xiuhua instructed Li Mu while drinking porridge.
"Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely handle Ji Ming's problem properly." Li Mu smiled. After all, Ji Ming had a good relationship with him back then. Back then, Li Mu was often bullied by some hooligans around him. It was Ji Ming who stood up and scared the hooligans away with his life. They never dared to bother Li Mu again.
"Well, eat quickly and then get it done!" Chen Xiuhua urged.
"It's never too late to just eat a meal. You make sure the child eats well, but you're still worried about him doing things?" Li Mingxuan complained.
Li Mu also smiled bitterly. His mother was too anxious. Li Mu had to finish his meal in no time and then walked towards Ji Ming's house. As their family had a prior agreement this time, they would live like ordinary people when they returned to the old house and no one was allowed to use magic or cultivation unless it was something urgent. So Li Mu had to walk there. Fortunately, Ji Ming's house was not far from here. They used to live in Qingshui Street. Although their house was not demolished later, it had been requisitioned before that. Therefore, they received every cent of compensation and were given several houses, all in a resettlement community not far from Qingshui Street.
It didn't take long for Li Mu to arrive at the community. At the address provided by Sister Zhang, Li Mu knocked on the door of Ji Ming's house. Sister Zhang opened the door and saw that it was Li Mu. She was very happy: "Haha, Li Mu, it's so early? Come in first, I'll go wake Ji Ming up!"
"Aunt Zhang, I didn't bring any gifts with me, so I'll just give you one of these pills!" Li Mu said as he took out a bottle of Dingyan Pills, poured out one and handed it to Aunt Zhang. Since he was visiting someone's home, he had to give a gift, and ordinary things were naturally not within Li Mu's capacity. Since she had been thinking about the Dingyan Pills yesterday, he might as well give her one!
“What is this...?” Sister Zhang asked puzzledly.
"This is the Dingyuan Pill. Take it quickly. Without a customized container to store it, the medicinal effect will be lost." Li Mu instructed.
"Li Mu, are you kidding me?" Sister Liu looked incredulous. After all, the meat stall owner, Lao Zhang, said that Dingyuan Dan could not be bought even for 10 billion yuan. How could he just give it away as a gift like Li Mu did, and to her?
"Haha, you'll know if you try it?" Li Mu said with a smile.
Seeing that Li Mu didn't seem to be joking, Sister Liu was a little shaken, but she was still a little hesitant. If this was really the Dingyan Pill, then its value would be too huge. She couldn't accept such a valuable gift from Li Mu.
Seeing Sister Liu's expression, Li Mu said with a smile: "Haha, Aunt Liu, I'm just kidding you. These are just ordinary candy beans. Try them. They're delicious."
"You kid, you scared me to death!" Aunt Liu felt relieved and casually put the Dingyan Pill into her mouth.
Then he came to Ji Ming's room and knocked on the door: "Ji Ming, get up quickly and see who is here to see you!"
After Sister Liu finished shouting, she pursed her lips, only to find that her mouth was already empty.
"How come such a big candy bean melted before I could even taste it?" Sister Liu was puzzled, but soon realized something was wrong. She felt a warm current rushing through her body, which made her feel extremely comfortable.
"Li Mu, what exactly did you give me?" Aunt Liu asked Li Mu anxiously. She had been seriously ill once before and had taken Dingyuan Pills. She had the same feeling, but it was far worse than what she felt now.
"Aunt Liu, don't worry, it's the Dingyan Pill. Go back to your room and digest it well. You will become younger in less than a day!" Li Mu comforted her.
"Li Mu, you...ah~" Sister Liu knew it was too late to say anything now. She felt a little guilty for accepting such a big gift from Li Mu. Moreover, if she really had to accept it, she would rather let her son take it. After all, Dingyan Pill can not only restore one's appearance, but also increase one's lifespan by 100 years.
"Mom, who's here?" At this moment, Ji Ming opened the door, rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked.
"Ji Ming, long time no see?" Li Mu said to Ji Ming.
"Li...Li Mu?" Ji Ming had a look of disbelief on his face, and all his sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
"Aunt Liu, please go back to your room and digest the pills. I will talk to Ji Ming." Li Mu said to Sister Liu.
"Well, you guys have a good chat, then I'll go back to my room!" Aunt Liu had to say, and then she entered the room and closed the door.
"Haha, Ji Ming, I was busy before and didn't come to see you. You won't blame me, right?" Li Mu said with a smile. However, Li Mu did come to see Ji Ming, but Ji Ming was not at home at that time.
"How could that be? Didn't you come to see me when you just came back? But I was not at home at that time. Li Mu, wait a minute, I'll change my clothes, and then we'll go out and find a place to have a good chat!" Ji Ming said with a smile, and then went back to the room.
Not long after, Ji Ming came out after changing his clothes. Looking at Ji Ming's outfit, Li Mu frowned and joked: "Weren't you a trendy person before? Why are you dressed like an old man now?" Ji Ming's outfit made him, a young man, look like an old man. Moreover, his clothes were very old and had turned white from being washed. They were completely different styles from the impression Li Mu had of Ji Ming.
"Haha, I was ignorant before, but it's good this way. I feel mature and steady!" Ji Ming said with a smile.
Li Mu smiled bitterly and said nothing more. The two of them walked out of the room together and sat down in a teahouse not far from the community.
"Tell me about it. How come you came back to live in a big villa after being missing for five years? How did you make a fortune outside?" Ji Ming asked Li Mu.
"Why do you care about these? I heard from Aunt Liu that you don't care about money, right?" Li Mu said with a smile.
“As for material possessions, it’s enough as long as they are enough for you to spend!” Ji Ming said.
"I heard that you used to work in Haidu and were a middle-level leader in a listed company. That was quite a glorious time!" Li Mu said with a smile.
"Haha, Li Mu, are you trying to trick me?" Ji Ming said with a smile.
"Just think of it as a casual chat! I don't actually think anything of your attitude towards life, but I can see that you have something on your mind, something very serious!" Li Mu said solemnly.
When Ji Ming heard what Li Mu said, the smile on his face froze for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, "Well, let's just think of it as finding someone to talk to. It's really hard to keep it in my heart for all these years!"
