Chapter 291 Taking a Trip

Tianjin Guard Headquarters.

Upon learning that her sworn brother, who had been missing for nearly a month, had suddenly reappeared, Li Yuanling immediately rushed over on horseback.

"See Your Highness the Princess."

When the guards at the gate saw Li Yuanling dressed in red and bustling about, they immediately bowed in unison.

In the days immediately following Li Musheng's departure from the capital, Li Yuanling frequently visited the Tianjin Guard headquarters to see him.

However, at that time, the plan for the Tianjin Guard to wipe out Luoshen Peak was still a secret, and Fu Qiwen did not tell her the truth, only saying that Emperor Yuanwu had temporarily assigned her a secret mission.

It wasn't until news of Li Musheng leading the Tianjin Guard to annihilate Luoshen Peak reached the capital that Li Yuanling learned that her seemingly unreliable sworn brother had actually secretly accomplished such a major feat.

Li Yuanling, her face pale and taut, waved her hand to signal everyone to dispense with formalities, and then strode directly to the courtyard where Li Musheng was.

Upon seeing Li Musheng sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard drinking tea, she narrowed her eyes, then glanced at Shen Anran, who sat beside him with a graceful figure and wore a light purple dress, and said:

"My sworn brother, you're really something! Not only did you destroy that Fallen God Peak, but you also managed to bring back such a beautiful girl."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng glanced at the other person and immediately raised an eyebrow.

He thought to himself that his adopted sister had underestimated his looks. How could Shen Anran be the only one who was so captivated by his handsome face?
"Come, come, sit here, and tell me properly, have you heard of my great name in the capital these days?"

Li Musheng waved and teased, while Li Yuanling pouted, her face tense, and walked to the stone bench in the pavilion to sit down, seemingly reluctant.

In the entire Shangyang City, she was the first person to know that Li Musheng was hiding his strength.

But she really didn't expect that her sworn brother would be so powerful, even the top expert of Luoshen Peak, one of the four major sects in the martial arts world, had died at his hands.

"You're such a good liar. You even hide things from your adopted sister, and you can't be honest with me. I trusted you so much."

Li Yuanling took the tea that Li Musheng handed her and gulped it down, saying with a hint of complaint.

Seeing that she was walking in a hurry, Li Musheng poured her another cup and said:
"What do you mean I can hide? It's clearly your hearing that's not very good."

"I've already told you that my martial arts cultivation is more than ten stories high, and you still aren't mentally prepared?"

Li Yuanling was rebuffed, but rolled her eyes.
"Who knows how tall that ten-story building you're talking about is?"

Immediately, she quickly changed the subject, looking at Shen Anran sitting opposite her, and said:

"Brother, aren't you going to introduce this lady to me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng didn't press the matter further and immediately revealed Shen Anran's identity.

Through their conversation, Shen Anran naturally learned of Li Yuanling's identity and rose to greet Princess Huarong of Dali.

But just then, the big black cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere, jumped up and sat on the stone bench opposite Li Musheng, meowing a few times.

Li Yuanling's eyes widened as she looked at the large cat, about the size of a mongrel, that had suddenly appeared, a look of surprise and doubt on her face.

Immediately, she turned to Li Musheng and asked:
"Brother, this... is this cat yours?"

"Just take it as such."

Li Musheng glanced at the big black cat, whose bright green eyes were fixed on him.

"What's wrong with it?"

Shen Anran was puzzled when she saw the big black cat suddenly acting like this.

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng waved his hand, speechless, and said:

"Never mind it. It's just that I introduced you but left it out, so it wants me to introduce it too." Upon hearing this, the big black cat immediately nodded gently. Seeing this, Li Yuanling exclaimed in surprise:
"Where did such a big cat come from? It's so intelligent."

Then, she looked at Li Musheng and asked with a solicitous expression:

"Could I keep it for a while?"

Li Musheng raised his eyebrows and said:
“That won’t do. This cat is no ordinary cat. It has a divine backer, and it is currently in some danger.”

"A divine being? What is that?"

Li Yuanling's expression grew increasingly puzzled, but Li Musheng showed no intention of explaining for the time being, simply shaking his head and saying:
"I'll talk to you when I have time. Now, tell me about the fire unicorn I asked you to find last time. Has there been any progress lately?"

When they went to the underground floating city before, the other party accidentally found the Qilin blood. In Li Musheng's opinion, his sworn sister was quite lucky.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanling glanced at the big black cat, then helplessly looked away.

Even someone as powerful as Li Musheng said that this cat is dangerous now, so she definitely wouldn't dare to touch it.

At this moment, the big black cat could also sense Li Yuanling's eager gaze towards it. Moreover, although Li Musheng did not describe it in detail, he did mention it briefly.

It immediately meowed contentedly, then jumped off the stone bench, wagging its tail as it walked to the side.

At this moment, Li Yuanling glanced at Li Musheng, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat strange, and said:

“My good friend returned to the capital a few days ago, and I have already told her about the search for the Fire Qilin, but there is still no news.”

She seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking:

"However, there is something that she told me not to tell you, but I thought about it and felt I should tell you."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng's expression shifted, and he asked:

"what's up?"

“My sister told me that the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion ordered an attack on you some time ago. Of course, since you destroyed Fallen God Peak, this order has been revoked.”

Li Yuanling truthfully recounted what she knew, then waved her hand and said:

"Don't worry, my sister has already complained to the Heavenly Mystery Elder about the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master, so this matter probably won't happen in the future."

"Therefore, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion can still help us find the Fire Qilin in the future."

Li Musheng raised an eyebrow, unaware that he had offended the Tianji Pavilion.

He seemed to only remember having that old storyteller send a message to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in the small town of Lanzhou, and that was after the news of his destruction of Fallen God Peak had spread.

However, Li Musheng was too lazy to think about it further.

Nowadays, there are many people in the world who want to mess with him, and even the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has to wait in line.

Thinking of this, Li Musheng shook his head, then glanced at Li Yuanling in front of him and said:
"We'll talk about this later, but it's a bit unreasonable that I'm returning in triumph without even bringing a decent gift from my sworn sister."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanling pursed her lips and tilted her snow-white neck back, saying:

"I'm already grateful that I even showed up!"

She also took the teapot from Li Musheng's hand and poured herself a cup of tea.

Li Musheng glanced at her but stopped teasing her, since his sworn sister was actually quite reliable when it came to finding the Fire Qilin.

However, at this moment, Li Musheng's expression changed, and he said:
"Come with me to the Second Prince's residence later; I have some business to attend to."
