"Get up. If you really want to repay my kindness, then hurry up and practice, and strive to enter my Lingxiao Palace as soon as possible to expand the territory of the Lingxiao Universe." Li Mu said lightly.
"My husband and I will definitely live up to the Palace Master's trust." Zhang Jingxuan and Han Menglu looked determined.
Then he stood up from the ground and stood aside somewhat stiffly.
Li Mu found this a bit boring. As he became stronger, the gap between him and the people he knew before became larger and larger, and they became more and more distant. Even Zhang Jingxuan, who used to have a thicker skin than a city wall, now became restrained in front of him.
Admittedly, a big part of the reason why Zhang Jingxuan and the other two were like this was because they had made mistakes before, but the gap in identity and time was the main reason.
However, this is human nature, and Li Mu can understand it. Although he really hopes that those ancient people can be less restrained in front of him, and get along with each other the same way as before, from the other party's perspective, the pressure of getting along with him cannot be ignored.
Even his grandfather and grandparents no longer speak and act as familiarly in front of him as before, let alone other people.
It is for this reason that Li Mu wants to improve the overall cultivation of his relatives. Only when everyone's cultivation is high and they have enough confidence can they stay confident when getting along with him, so that he will not feel that he is alone.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Han Menglu coughed lightly and said, "Ahem~ Palace Master, how about going into the house to have some tea? I have nothing to do all day since I came to Wuyang Valley, so I cultivated some new tea varieties."
Li Mu was originally preparing to say goodbye to the two and continue traveling around the New Earth, but after hearing what Han Menglu said, he felt a little reluctant to refuse Han Menglu's kindness. After all, Han Menglu was different from the previous Lord of Wuyang City. He had some friendship with her in the past, and since Han Menglu said it was a new variety of tea, he became interested.
Li Mu opened his mouth slightly, and just when he was about to agree to Han Menglu, Zhang Jingxuan scolded Han Menglu: "You stupid woman, what is the status of the Palace Master? Are you going to entertain the Palace with those junks in our house?"
After Zhang Jingxuan said this, Li Mu didn't know how to respond for a moment. He didn't know whether to agree or not.
Han Menglu was also stunned for a moment, secretly cursing Zhang Jingxuan as an idiot, saying if you can't speak, then don't speak!
At this moment, a hurried voice sounded outside the courtyard: "Old Han, what's going on between you and your wife? It's such a rare opportunity for the Palace Master to come to our Wuyang City. All the monks in the city have gone out to welcome him, but you two are staying at home! Do you know that I almost had a fight with someone to save a seat for you!"
"It's okay that I almost got beaten, but the key is that you didn't go out to greet the Palace Master. What kind of behavior is this? This is disrespectful to the Palace Master! This is... ugh... Palace... Palace Master?"
Old Deng's heart was pounding and he even felt like he was hallucinating.
"Haha, it's me." Li Mu said with a kind smile.
Hearing Li Mu admit his identity, Old Deng collapsed to the ground with a plop. He quickly adjusted his posture and kowtowed to Li Mu in fear and trepidation: "Greetings, Lord Palace Master! Good luck to you, Lord Palace Master!"
At the same time, Old Deng couldn't help but have a bad guess in his mind: "It must be that Zhang Jingxuan and his wife didn't go out to greet the Lord Palace Master, which made the Lord Palace Master angry, and now they are here to find them to blame! Alas~! Old Zhang, Old Zhang, you two are so smart on weekdays, how come you are so confused at this critical moment!"
Of course, Lao Deng's thoughts could not be hidden from Li Mu's discerning eyes. He could not help but smile bitterly and said, "You think too much. I am not that narrow-minded."
"Ah~? Lord Palace Master, I..."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Get up. There are not so many rules here. Since you are a friend of Zhang Jingxuan and Lulu, you don't have to be so restrained."
As soon as these words came out, Old Deng's eyes widened, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. What exactly did Li Mu mean by this? What did he mean by "Since you are Zhang Jingxuan and Lulu's friend, you don't have to be so restrained"?
"The Palace Master has known us for a long time." Lulu explained to Lao Deng in a low voice.
"What? How is it possible? Aren't you... aren't you... just Daluo Jinxian? How is it possible that you know the Palace Master?" Old Deng was puzzled.
"Haha, then you guys chat, I'll take my leave first." Li Mu said with a smile.
"Farewell to the Lord of the Palace."
"Go back to Miancheng to practice. The immortal energy there is more intense. If you encounter problems in practice, you can discuss them with others." Li Mu reminded again, and then his figure flashed and disappeared.
Seeing Li Mu leaving, Han Menglu slapped Zhang Jingxuan hard on the arm and cursed: "You idiot! I told you not to talk too much!"
"What did I say? What's wrong with you?" Zhang Jingxuan looked innocent.
"Pa~" Zhang Jingxuan was slapped again.
"Tsk tsk tsk~! Old Zhang and Old Han, oh, no, Senior Zhang, Senior Han, I didn't expect that you are related to the Palace Master. You really are a hidden talent!" Old Deng said with envy.
"Old Deng, are you teasing us? What's the point of being senior or not? We are still old friends, just keep calling each other the same way we used to." Zhang Jingxuan said in a deep voice.
Old Deng's real name is Deng Yucheng. He is a Daluo Jinxian, a Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal cultivator. He has no sect or school, and is a casual cultivator. He has been running for cultivation resources all his life. Now that his energy is almost exhausted, he has become more open-minded and resolutely gave up the pursuit of the great way. He took the remaining money in his hands and continued to come to Wuyang City to buy an ordinary house, becoming neighbors with Zhang Jingxuan and his wife. Before today, Zhang Jingxuan and his wife had always shown that they were Daluo Jinxian, but he was more free and easy by nature, so he treated them as equals.
