At this time, an uninvited guest came to Li Mu's house.
An old man with white hair stood in front of Li Mu and said to him, "Are you Li Mu? Haha, you look a bit like Mingxuan back then."
Seeing Li Mu's puzzled look, the old man added: "Li Mingxuan, that is, your father Li Zhiguo, hehe~"
"Oh~? It seems that you can't help it after all!" Li Mu said lightly. This was the first time he heard that his father's original name was Li Mingxuan.
"Li Mu, you are too high-profile. The Great Elder is very worried. You established Jishige Pavilion as soon as you came back after disappearing for five years. I admit that Dingyuan Pills are indeed magical, but you are just an ordinary person who is powerless. Where do you get the confidence to challenge our Wuji Sect?" said the old man.
"It seems that my parents' affairs are closely related to your great elder." Li Mu said lightly.
"Haha, do you think that you can fight against the Great Elder just by relying on Yin Zhilong?" the old man laughed.
"I'm also very curious. How can you, a loser who barely raised his strength to the Heavenly Man Realm with the help of drugs, have the confidence to talk to me like this?" Li Mu teased.
"How do you know?" The old man was shocked. He had been trapped in the late stage of the innate realm for too long. If his life span was not about to end, he would never have used drugs to improve his cultivation. After all, they were still external objects. Moreover, there were no alchemists in this era. The pills were very precious and they were becoming less and less.
"Haha, of course it's based on my strength!" Li Mu's momentum suddenly increased, and the old man was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe. Sweat as big as beans kept flowing down, soaking the old man's clothes.
"I won't kill you today, go away!" Seeing that the old man couldn't hold on any longer, Li Mu withdrew his momentum and said to the old man. Originally, Li Mu's plan was to lure out the people from Wuji Sect and then let them take him to Wuji Sect, but now that his parents had gone there in person, there was no need for him to intervene, and he left the man in front of him to his parents to deal with.
The old man was a little surprised to see that Li Mu let him go so easily, but he did not stop and ran away without looking back.
The old man felt a little regretful at this time. The Chen family was not stupid. Since they chose to be high-profile, they must have the confidence to confront the Wuji Sect. Before he left, the elder personally told him to be cautious and not to take action without absolute certainty. However, he had just been promoted to the Heavenly Man Realm, so how could he take a mere secular person seriously? As soon as he came down the mountain, he ignored the dissuasion of others and went directly to Li Mu. He didn't expect that Li Mu hadn't made a move yet, and just relying on his momentum, he almost lost his life here!
At this moment, the old man only wanted to return to Wuji Sect as soon as possible and report the matter to the Great Elder. It was impossible for anyone in the mortal world to have a cultivation level higher than the Heavenly Man Realm. Even if Li Mu was at the peak of the Heavenly Man Realm, the Great Elder could still handle it with his means and connections.
After sending the old man away, Li Mu became a little curious. What was his father's identity? What happened back then? Although he could have searched the old man's soul directly, since his parents didn't tell him, he had no choice but to give up. When his parents wanted to tell him, everything would become clear.
Just as Li Mu was thinking, the phone rang. He saw that the caller ID was Yin Zhilong. Li Mu knew that Yin Zhilong must have no good news when he was looking for him, so he answered the call reluctantly.
"Haha, Li Mu, have you had lunch?" Yin Zhilong asked on the other end of the phone.
"No." Li Mu said truthfully, even though it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. But he didn't need to eat, and he only ate occasionally to accompany the people around him.
Yin Zhilong was silent, not knowing how to respond.
"Mr. Yin, just tell me what you want to say!" Li Mu said.
"Haha, it's like this. Recently, a troublesome person appeared in Haidu. Although he is relatively well-behaved now and hasn't caused any big trouble, we don't know his background after all, so someone needs to investigate him thoroughly. I immediately thought of Ruolan, but isn't Ruolan in seclusion? I heard that before she went into seclusion, you told her that if there is anything on her team that she can just come to you directly, so... hehe~" Yin Zhilong said.
Li Mu smiled bitterly. Wouldn't it be better to just ask him to help investigate a person? He went around in circles for so long. However, since Li Mu had promised Yin Ruolan, it was not easy to refuse at this time. He said, "Okay, send me the details of that person."
"Haha, you are worthy of being the grandson-in-law I have chosen. It is really straightforward. I have asked someone to send you the information." Yin Zhilong said with a smile, then exchanged a few words with Li Mu and hung up the phone.
Not long after hanging up the phone, the doorbell rang. Li Mu opened the door and saw a middle-aged man. Li Mu had met him once before when he went to the Dragon Soul headquarters to get his identity token.
"Hello, Mr. Li, my name is Cao Peng. I'm from the Dragon Soul Headquarters. We met not long ago." The man said to Li Mu with reverence.
"Yeah." Li Mu nodded slightly.
"Haha, yes, this is the information that Mr. Yin asked me to give you. Please take your time to read it, I won't disturb you anymore." The man took out a file bag and handed it to Li Mu, then left.
Yin Zhilong had really been planning this for a long time. He told him only after everything was ready, knowing that Li Mu would definitely not refuse if Yin Ruolan was moved out.
"Haha, an ordinary college student possessed remarkable strength overnight. Even a middle-stage innate warrior sent by the Soul Department was helpless against him. Quite interesting!" Li Mu murmured after looking through the information.
The college student's name was Su Qing. In addition to some introductions about him, the file also provided two plans for this mission: one was for Li Mu to pretend to be a transfer student and directly contact Su Qing; the other was to enter Su Qing's school as a counselor. Even Li Mu's two identity documents and the plane ticket to Haidu were prepared.
Li Mu naturally did not choose any plan. It was too easy for him to investigate someone with his means.
Li Mu can make an ordinary person have extraordinary strength directly through initiation. However, according to the information, there are no masters around Su Qing. Moreover, in order for an ordinary person to reach the innate level or even above through initiation, his own strength must at least reach the Nascent Soul level, otherwise it will harm his own cultivation.
In this world where there is not even the Jindan stage, the possibility of that college student being initiated by someone is very small, but if he practiced normally, it would be unlikely to reach such a high level overnight.
From the methods used by Su Qing, Li Mu knew that Su Qing was also a cultivator. Looking at the time when Su Qing became active, Li Mu had some guesses in his mind that this matter might be related to him.
