Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

The noisy teahouse seemed to fall silent at this moment, staring at Bai Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes filled with admiration and cunning.

Mu An understood immediately.

This girl is definitely Bai Qingming's biological daughter. Look at her shameless appearance; she's exactly the same as the Bai Qingming he remembers.

Both father and daughter are highly skilled in the art of face-changing.

To ease the tension, Mu An took a sip of hot tea and pointed to the shopkeeper behind the counter.

"You're going to be my tour guide... and not his waitress anymore? The daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan came to this little teahouse to work as a waitress, probably hoping to find some opportunities."

Bai Xi nodded rapidly, her attitude undergoing a complete 360-degree turn.

She had no idea who the shopkeeper was.

With such a thick thigh right in front of you, only a fool wouldn't take it!

"Previously, Bai Xi was foolish and misjudged people, which is why he did something stupid. Now that he has seen Uncle Mu's face, his mind has become clear."

"My uncle said the shopkeeper is just an ordinary person, so naturally he is just an ordinary person. How could Bai Xi make the same mistake again?"

Mu An glanced at Bai Xi, then at the innkeeper, and then at the two tables of people who seemed ready to fight at any moment, and suddenly laughed.

"You certainly know how to build connections, but forget about 'uncle,' just call me 'senior.'"

"Tell me about your business, how did you manage to gain the trust of so many people in the martial arts world? It's quite interesting."

Seeing that Mu An seemed to be in a good mood, Bai Xi, who only wanted to get closer to him, immediately sat down opposite Mu An and respectfully poured him a cup of wine.

"So that you may know, senior, that the shopkeeper's name is Ye Lin. He is an extraordinary person with a somewhat eccentric personality."

Three years ago, Ye Lin first appeared in Gwangju and opened this teahouse on this official road.

Apart from the teahouse having a rather strange name, nothing unusual happened in the first year; it was mostly just ordinary little things.

People in the martial arts world have all sorts of personalities, and it's not uncommon for them to fight over trivial matters.

Generally speaking, those who open teahouses on major transportation routes either need to know some martial arts or have a wide network of connections, so that they can gain some respect from people in the martial arts world.

A teahouse can't survive without some serious skills.

A newly opened teahouse with somewhat strict rules and an unidentified owner inevitably leads to trouble.

Occasionally, some江湖客 (jianghu ke, people from the martial arts world) would cause trouble in the teahouse, but Ye Lin would "invite" them out in a rather direct way.

Although most of those asked to leave were just ordinary martial artists, over time, many rumors circulated, and news of the teahouse spread throughout the martial arts world of Gwangju.

Many people in Gwangju know that a teahouse has opened outside Baiguo City, and the owner of the teahouse is at least a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

The senior possesses extraordinary abilities and unparalleled cultivation, so he naturally considers a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm to be insignificant. However, in a place like Hundred Fruit City, a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm is undoubtedly a powerful figure capable of holding sway over a region, and is worthy of being courted by various forces...

Ye Lin's appearance inevitably affected the situation in Baiguo City.

"He's only a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm here. He might be considered a big shot in the small Hundred Fruit City, but to our Bai family, he's insignificant..."

Bai Xi spoke slowly, and while speaking, she kept a close eye on Mu An's expression, trying to describe Ye Lin in a way that would satisfy Mu An as much as possible.

But when talking about how she came to this teahouse, Bai Xi, who is only twenty years old this year, blushed and would occasionally glance at the counter.

Seeing that the shopkeeper hadn't reacted at all, she clenched her fists again without making a sound.

"The story begins a year and a half ago. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by my seniors, but back then, Bai Xi was young and impetuous, and somewhat ungrateful..."

Thanks to my father's love and care, Bai Xi grew up amidst the concern and praise of countless people.

Two years ago, under his father's dedicated tutelage, Bai Xi entered the Innate Realm at the age of eighteen, earning him the title of a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Southern Frontier...

"No, no... Compared to you, senior, Bai Xi's talent is nothing..."

When Bai Xi told Mu An that she was a genius, she felt her blood rush to her head and her usually cool face flushed red.

She instinctively wanted to take back what she had just said, and her words became somewhat incoherent.

Fortunately, Mu An didn't care about these things, and instead poured Bai Xi half a cup of spirit wine.

"No rush, let's have a drink and talk slowly. There's no fighting going to happen over there for now."

"A fight won't break out?" What does that mean?

Despite her confusion, Bai Xi immediately stood up and accepted the wine from Mu An with both hands.

The moment the drink touched her tongue, Bai Xi's eyes widened.

The sweet wine flowed into my throat, and a gentle warmth spread through my body.

Bai Xi could clearly see that the scars on her arm disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to their original delicate and pinkish appearance.

Bai Xi, who had received the benefit, wanted to kneel down on the spot, but Mu An stopped her by raising his hand.

"Go on, what happened a year and a half ago, and how did you get to know the owner of this teahouse?"

The girl, feeling a bit hot, swallowed hard and hurriedly drank a cup of tea to calm herself down before continuing her story.

Two years ago, I successfully broke through to the Innate Realm and had the idea of ​​leaving home and traveling all over the world.

At that time, I was a newcomer to the martial arts world, and I was confident in my extraordinary talent. I was somewhat arrogant and unwilling to be bound by rules.

After committing a series of foolish acts, the younger generation shook off the family guards and ventured into the martial world on their own.

After a bitter laugh, Bai Xi's voice became much more desolate, carrying a hint of barely perceptible annoyance.

"Reality and stories are always so different. Only after truly stepping into the world of martial arts did I realize how fortunate I was."

The life of roaming the world with a sword is not as wonderful as the younger generation imagined. Behind the fine clothes and spirited horses are countless times of eating in the wind and sleeping in the open, and countless nights of fear and embarrassment when alone.

Mortals are not immortals; they inevitably worry about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. A moment of divine intervention in public is often accompanied by months of trials and tribulations.

Through a series of unfortunate coincidences, I, the junior, have offended a protector of the Heavenly Evil Cult and have been relentlessly pursued until I finally escaped to this teahouse…

Perhaps she was thinking of something pleasant, Bai Xi's lips unconsciously curled up, she glanced in the direction of the counter, and her tone became much lighter.

"It was fortunate, really. The teahouse had a rule against fighting. At the time, the younger man, who was already seriously injured, acted impulsively and stumbled into the teahouse..."

I don't really know what happened. After rushing into the teahouse to ask the manager for help, I fainted.

All I know is that when the younger generation woke up again, they were already lying in bed, and their injuries had been given basic treatment…

As she said this, Bai Xi's cheeks turned completely pink, and she lowered her head, seemingly a little shy.

"I have no way to repay the life-saving grace. At that time, I did not know what Ye Lin's strength was. I only thought he was a young master."

With the intention of repaying a debt of gratitude and recruiting experts, the younger generation thought of staying at the teahouse for a while longer. However, since he had no money, he pawned the jade pendant that his mother had given him to Ye Lin.

……

As they spent more time together, the younger generation gradually discovered that Ye Lin was indeed a very thoughtful person, and that they felt very comfortable and at ease around him.

……

"That's roughly the situation. I personally witnessed Ye Lin suppress three Celestial Martial Saints, beating them so badly that they had no chance to fight back."

It was after that incident that I came to believe he was a celestial being roaming the mortal world, and hoping to find a chance to succeed, I stayed at the teahouse as a waiter…”
