Lingzhou, Yongning County.

"Your Highness, Commander Shangzhang of the Dark Feather Guard has sent word that a large-scale landslide occurred in Huiyin Mountain due to the heavy rains of the past few days."

With the blessing of Heaven, a meteorite fell on Crimson Cloud Peak, where the Blood Robe Cult's headquarters was located. The entire Crimson Cloud Peak was crushed by the meteorite, and the explosion covered an area of ​​dozens of miles.

The Blood Robe Cult has suffered heavy losses and should not be able to cause any trouble in the short term.

The joyous news did not resonate; a weak, listless voice echoed from the deepest part of the house.

"If they're dead, they're dead. Don't worry about them, Lin Li, I'm in so much pain..."

Jun Yunxin, lying on the hospital bed, slightly opened her eyes. Her lips, which should have been rosy, turned pale, and she let out meaningless groans.

After failing to get up several times, Jun Yunxin, feeling dizzy, gave up struggling. She waved her weak little hand, looking at Lin Li pitifully like a wounded little animal.

"thirsty……"

What's with all this talk about the Blood Robe Cult? It's so noisy! She's a patient, can't you just be quiet?

If I weren't too weak to move, I would have bitten Lin Li a couple of times to show her what I'm capable of!

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Li didn't have time to marvel at her princess's "power." Seeing the little one shivering from the fever, she immediately grabbed Jun Yunxin's little hand, held her in her arms, and gently comforted her.

While feeding him water and gently coaxing him, she completely ignored the Dark Feather Guard commander who was waiting outside.

"It's okay, it's okay, you'll get better soon."

Lin Li only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard even breathing beside her.

In a hazy, dreamlike state, images from the past flashed through her mind.

Many years ago, when the princess was still young, a similar thing happened. At that time, the princess also had a high fever for no reason, and none of the royal physicians in the entire palace could find out the cause.

Later, that unfortunate land deity was imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower.

Thinking about it, Lin Li narrowed her eyes and looked at the little figure on the bed in silence.

……

As summer faded into autumn, from the cicadas chirping in May to the maple leaves rustling in September, Mu An's life returned to its former tranquility.

I study ancient books and meditate daily.

With the help of the spiritual object, his cultivation, which had been progressing slowly, advanced by leaps and bounds.

In his spare time, Mu An would enjoy music, occasionally burn incense and sip tea, and exchange skills with beautiful women who each had their own unique talents. He lived a very comfortable life.

The days of "spending money" are always especially cherished. In just four months, Mu An's spiritual power increased several times over, and his understanding of the five elements of heaven and earth also greatly improved.

The world he saw had changed dramatically; the entire world seemed to have gained a new radiance.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was originally as stubborn as a rock, has also changed. Although it still ignores him, it is much better than before when he could not be mobilized at all.

As long as one does not overexert oneself in a short period of time and draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fight, one can completely achieve a balance with the spiritual energy within the body, thus achieving continuous vitality.

The Five Elements magic, which originally only existed in the imagination, has become a reality, although it is similar to the "awesome" rainmaking magic.

But this also filled Mu An with joy, as he believed he had taken a solid step on the path to immortality.

For four whole months, apart from the occasional nagging from old man Lin, there were no major worries.

The location of the Anshan Patrol and Inspection Office.

A rattan chair was placed under an ancient tree at the edge of the training ground, and a person dressed in ordinary clothes was flipping through a Taoist book in his hands.

Golden leaves fall with the autumn wind, swirling in the air like golden butterflies, adding to the picturesque scene.

For some reason, the person in the wicker chair had one hand dangling to the ground, and the book in their hand slipped from their fingers and fell to the ground, where it remained motionless for a long time.

Only the rustling of autumn leaves in the wind echoed beneath the trees.

The soldiers in the drill ground had completed their not-so-complicated training and, during their break, huddled together and whispered among themselves.

"Have you heard? Last night, the boss went to Chunxiang Pavilion with Lord Wang from Linggang. Madam Wang led her servants to ambush them in the middle of the night!"

"Indeed, not only Madam Wang, but Miss Wang also went. I heard from a friend of my second aunt's husband's nephew's aunt's brother that Chunxiang Restaurant was incredibly lively last night!"

"Did they fight? Who won? Madam Wang's maternal family is a prominent clan in the county; they won't suffer a loss."

"Stop talking nonsense. It was Lord Wang who was arrested, it has nothing to do with our Lord Mu. Lord Mu's cultivation is extraordinary, and he's unmarried. Who can control him?"

"Tsk tsk tsk!!!"

Where did this sycophant come from! ×N

On the outskirts of the crowd, Mu An, who had been woken up, curled his lips into a strange smile and shook his head at Lin Ping, who had already noticed him.

Good, good, good! It seems he's been too kind to these people; they've even started gossiping about him!

Drill! They absolutely must drill hard!

"You wouldn't believe it, but there are quite a few young ladies in the county who admire our Lord Mu! Not just the Wang family's daughter, but also the Qin family's eldest daughter, the Li family's talented young lady..."

"Li Yunxi? She's a very sensible little girl, but she's only about ten years old, isn't she?"

"Don't interrupt, what do you know! Which man isn't lustful? Our Lord Mu... Lord Mu is wise and brave, resourceful and intelligent, with unparalleled cultivation, a young hero. Every woman in the county admires him..."

Upon suddenly seeing Mu An's ambiguous smile, Wang Le, who had just been spouting nonsense, broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as if he were still dreaming.

Despite his not-so-bright mind, he performed exceptionally well, coming up with a brilliant idea in a moment of inspiration, and managed to integrate all the knowledge he had acquired in his life, managing to sing for a full quarter of an hour.

"Wang Le, right? You seem to know quite a lot. What other gossip do you have? Tell me about it."

"Lord Mu, please understand! I'm so sorry..." Wang Le tried to save him.

Mu An ignored him.

"Run twenty laps around the training ground!"

"yes!"

"What are you all standing there for! Didn't you hear the order? Run with me!"

After casually dismissing a few gossipy soldiers, Mu An did not leave immediately, but instead looked at Corporal Lin Ping standing to the side.

"How is that child named Mu Ling'er doing? Is she adapting well to life in the Patrol Division?"

Upon hearing Mu An's question, Lin Ping's expression immediately changed, but he managed to force a smile in the next instant.

"Rest assured, sir, I will certainly handle the matter well."

Mu An noticed the change in his subordinate's expression; he frowned slightly, thinking of something unpleasant.

"Were the other children bullying her?"

The scrutinizing gaze made Lin Ping stand up straight, his head slightly lowered, and he remained silent for a long time.

"What exactly happened?! Tell me now!"

Mu An's voice suddenly rose, carrying a hint of anger, which made Lin Ping dare not hide anything, and he immediately explained in a low voice.

"Sir, recently, many children in the city have caught colds, and four of the children we take in have also fallen ill, including Mu Ling'er."

As you know, that child is only two years old and has gone through such a cruel ordeal. Living with other children is already difficult for him, and now he's caught a cold.

Lin Ping paused halfway through his sentence, and continued speaking after a few seconds.

"I also thought about finding someone to adopt the child, but the brothers in the patrol office are not having an easy time either. It's not easy for any family to support another mouth to feed."

"But don't worry, if all else fails, I'll discuss it with my wife and we'll adopt that child as our goddaughter. We'll make things easy for you, sir..."

After a short silence, Mu An realized that things seemed to be slightly different from what she had thought.

It's a cold...

He sighed softly, feeling like he had a lot of energy but nowhere to use it.

Sure enough, his life was always ordinary, and he rarely encountered anything like showing off or getting slapped in the face.
