In the Lingxiao Palace, Li Mu sat at the top of the hall, while Wu Zhengshan and others sat on both sides below. A variety of delicacies were placed in front of them.
Li Mu raised his glass and said to Wu Zhengshan, "Mayor Wu, how about you try my wine?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhengshan raised his glass with both hands and said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, you are too kind to me. It is all thanks to you that I can become a local official. I toast to you!"
After saying this, Wu Zhengshan raised his glass and drank it all.
"What...what kind of wine is this?" Wu Zhengshan was shocked. He had never tasted such delicious wine in his entire life. The moment it took a sip, he felt his soul was cleansed. This was simply a wine that only gods could enjoy!
Seeing Wu Zhengshan's intoxicated look, Zhao Ling and her sister were a little speechless. When did their husbands (brother-in-law) learn to flatter? But it must be said that his acting skills are really good.
"Haha, you guys try it too!" Li Mu said to the Zhao Ling sisters.
The two nodded slightly when they heard this. They usually didn't drink at all, so they just took a small sip. But soon, their eyes lit up, and then they drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then they looked at the aftertaste.
"This... Mr. Li, Lingling and the others used to get drunk after drinking a little bit of wine, but why today...?" Wu Zhengshan asked in surprise. He felt that the alcohol content of the wine was not low!
"Haha, this wine is called 'Soul Cleansing', and it has the effect of cleansing the soul. The alcohol content varies from person to person. For those who can drink a lot, the alcohol content will be high, and for those who can drink less, the alcohol content will be low." Li Mu explained that this Soul Cleansing was something he had tinkered with a few days ago, and this was the first time he had shown it to other people to try, and it seemed to be working quite well.
Then Li Mu invited a few people to eat. The three of them were amazed again. They thought they had broadened their horizons today. They had really lived in vain before!
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Li Mu said, "We will leave in a while!"
"Mr. Li, are you saying that you and Xixi are going to leave Miancheng?" Wu Zhengshan was a little surprised.
Li Mu smiled and said, "I guess so! Let's leave Miancheng!"
"That's a pity. Our Junjun will definitely be sad then." Zhao Ling sighed.
Wu Zhengshan was somewhat speechless. Who was Li Mu? What did it have to do with him whether our Junjun was sad or not? But he didn't say anything.
"Haha, this is what I want to talk about today. Yun Xi hopes to bring Jun Jun along!" Li Mu said.
"This...Mr. Li, this..." Wu Zhengshan hesitated to speak, looking embarrassed, and the same was true for Zhao Ling.
"Don't rush to refuse. If Junjun goes with us, it will be an opportunity for her." Li Mu said calmly.
Wu Zhengshan and his wife hesitated for a moment, looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they said to Li Mu: "It is her honor to be with Mr. Li. We have no reason to refuse."
Li Mu is a cultivator, and not just an ordinary one. Since Li Mu said that it was an opportunity for Junjun, it meant that Junjun would also be very likely to become a cultivator in the future. For the sake of their daughter's future, they naturally knew how to make choices. What was a short separation from their daughter? Besides, transportation was so convenient now, they could visit Junjun at any time, and they could even video chat with her every day!
"Mr. Li, we can still visit Junjun when we miss her, right?" Wu Zhengshan asked uncertainly.
Li Mu shook his head and said, "We are going very far away."
Wu Zhengshan and his wife were startled and asked, "How far is it?"
Li Mu stretched out his hand and pointed toward the sky.
Several people were puzzled, and Li Mu explained: "With the current technology on Earth, it is impossible to reach this place even in billions of years!"
If several people were petrified, wouldn't that mean they would never see Junjun again in their lifetime? Wait, how could Li Mu reach a place that he couldn't reach in billions of years?
Wu Zhengshan shook his head and asked solemnly, "How long will it take?"
"A few years, or even hundreds of years." Li Mu said, the same thing he said to Li Yunxi.
But then he explained: "But for the earth, it is only a matter of a moment. You will still have a chance to meet Junjun in the future."
Wu Zhengshan and his wife looked bitter. If it really took hundreds of years, would Junjun still be their daughter after she came back? Junjun was only three years old now. Maybe she would have forgotten them by then? Even if she still remembered them, she would probably treat them like strangers, right?
"Haha, you guys discuss it among yourselves. I'll go check on Yun Xi and the others." Li Mu said with a smile, and then he disappeared in the hall in an instant.
Mr. and Mrs. Wu Zhengshan were silent for a long time, and Zhao Ying didn't know what to say. She couldn't get a say in such matters.
Zhao Ling spoke first: "Zhengshan, what do you think we should do?"
"On one side is Junjun's future, and on the other side is our relationship with Junjun!" Wu Zhengshan murmured.
Then, Wu Zhengshan's eyes were firm, and he said, "We can't delay Junjun for our own selfish reasons!"
Zhao Ling closed her eyes slightly, tears streaming down her face unconsciously, and then she nodded.
Looking at Wu Zhengshan and the other man, Zhao Ying clenched her hands and secretly made up her mind.
After they made the decision, Li Mu took Li Yunxi and Wu Junjun back to the hall.
"Haha, since you have made your choice, spend some time with Junjun. The most important thing is that you have to get Junjun's consent! You can also regret it at any time before we leave." Li Mu said with a smile.
Wu Zhengshan and the other man nodded.
At this moment, Zhao Ying suddenly stood up from her seat, walked to the center of the hall, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said, "Mr. Li, I am willing to be with you, even if I can just stay by your side and be a maid!"
Li Mu helped Zhao Ying up from a distance and said with a smile, "Okay!"
"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Zhao Ying said excitedly.
"Xiaoying, you..." Zhao Ling said in surprise. "Sister, it's okay. Junjun and I will go together. Junjun won't make a fuss. Besides, this may be an opportunity for me."
Zhao Ling had a bitter look on her face. Li Mu said that he would give Jun Jun a chance, but he did not say anything about giving Zhao Ying a chance. Cultivation depends on aptitude. Even though they went together, if they could not cultivate, wouldn't they have become a pile of bones by the time they came back?
"Then you go back first, and I'll notify you when I'm about to leave!" Li Mu said and waved his hand, and Wu Zhengshan and others instantly disappeared in the hall. They reappeared in the underground parking lot of their community, and the car that Wu Zhengshan drove when he came was also parked quietly in the parking space.
Several people were surprised. They had never heard of such a method. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was done by an immortal. They then became more determined in their previous choice. Only Junjun was still excited at this time, not knowing that he was about to part with his parents.
