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

The journey from Qing'an Prefecture to Wangxing City was inherently tedious and boring; even an old man like him would find it tedious, let alone a young man like Qing Han.

Butler Qin Bo could understand Qing Han's anxiety, but the old man didn't have any good solutions and could only repeat some meaningless words.

Fortunately, Qinghan was not the only one traveling with the caravan this time.

Just as the butler, Uncle Qin, was feeling somewhat awkward, a girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old came out and cheerfully covered Qing Han's eyes.

"Brother, why the rush? The sooner we arrive, the sooner we'll have to start dealing with work and scheming against those people... Isn't it nice to just drink tea and listen to Mr. Mu tell stories of the martial arts world every day?"

Qinghan shivered as his eyes were covered by his younger sister's cold little hands. Helplessly, he pried open the slender, fair wrist covering his eyes and turned to look at his younger sister, Qinghe.

The next second, Qinghan took off his fox fur coat and draped it over his younger sister.

"You silly girl, how many times have I told you? You're naturally prone to feeling cold, you can't dress so lightly, but you just won't listen!"

While gently reprimanding her, Qinghan took the opportunity to grasp Qinghe's cold hands, staring at her with a look that said, "You'll regret this if I don't give you an explanation."

After being scolded by her brother, Qinghe seemed a little aggrieved and whispered.

"It's not cold."

"How could you not be cold! If you get sick, aren't you the one who's suffering?" Qinghan's voice suddenly rose three octaves, clearly dissatisfied with her sister's attitude.

At that moment, a man dressed in blue came out of the room.

"It's alright, Young Master Han, please don't blame Miss He. I gave her a Fire Spirit Essence, which caused her to be dressed a little too lightly due to the rising heat."

"Fire Spirit Essence! The Five Elements Sect can only produce one Fire Spirit Essence every five years? Mr. Mu, how can I possibly accept such a precious gift?"

Upon seeing Mu An emerge from the house, Qing Han's attitude immediately became much more serious. He bowed to Mu An with the respect due to a junior and repeatedly expressed that he could not accept such a valuable gift.

Mu An waved his hand dismissively and said gently.

"It takes a hundred years of cultivation to share a boat ride. We are able to share a flying boat and chat so freely. It is fate. A few external things are not worth mentioning."

"But..." Qinghan wanted to refuse, but Mu'an didn't give him a chance to refuse.

"If Young Master Han is truly concerned, then when we arrive in Wangxing City, please treat me to a proper meal. I have long yearned for the exquisite delicacies of Qingyun Restaurant."

Mu An spoke politely, but Qing Han instinctively felt that she had no room to refuse.

He hurriedly replied, "Since you've said so, Mr. Mu, it would be impolite of me to continue refusing. Our Qing family is a first-rate family in the Great Ling Empire, and we certainly won't neglect our guests."

Qinghan pulled Qinghe along and bowed to Mu'an again.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Mu. Please rest assured that you will be satisfied once we arrive in Wangxing City."

Mu An smiled and said nothing more. He glanced at Qing He, who had her head down, and then turned and went back to his room.

The brother and sister were left alone by the railing, whispering to each other.

"Brother, who exactly is Mr. Mu?"

Qinghan shook his head and whispered to his younger sister.

"The Mu family is a royal family with many talented people. No one can say for sure how many experts the Mu family has. Since Mr. Mu has offered such a precious treasure as the Fire Spirit Essence, he must be a great figure in the royal family. It is a blessing for my brother and me to be favored by Mr. Mu."

Qinghe nodded as if she understood, then tiptoed and whispered in Qinghan's ear.

"Let me tell you, the gentleman said his surname is Mu and his given name is An, and he's a very, very important person!"

Hearing her sister's words, Qinghan frowned.

"Mu An? What a strange name. I've never heard of such a person in the Mu family royal family. It must be an alias."

"A pseudonym?" Qinghe bit her finger and muttered to herself.

"But I always felt that Mr. Mu treated me very kindly, and didn't seem to be lying to me. He even told me so many stories... Brother, is there really no one named Mu An in the royal family?"

Qinghan shook his head again, affirming.

"no."

Seeing that his younger sister didn't believe him, he added.

"The current imperial family are all descendants of His Majesty, and our great Emperor Mu Yong's mother is the noble Five Spirit Mystic Maiden. Going back further, she is the supreme being of our Nine Domains, the creator of all great things in the world, the immortal True Lord."

The lineage of the royal family has never been a secret. Those whose names consist of a single character are all royal ancestors who have long since passed away. Of all those whose names have been passed down to this day, only His Majesty the Emperor has a single-character name.

Qinghe still had some doubts, but she also knew that her brother would not lie to her about such a thing.

Although she also felt that Mr. Mu wouldn't lie to her, she still trusted her own brother more.

Ultimately, having a pseudonym when traveling abroad is perfectly normal.

Just as Qinghe was about to continue following her brother's words, a strange thought flashed through her mind.

"Brother, do Her Majesty the Mystic Maiden and the True Lord have their names?"

The sudden question left Qinghan stunned for a long time. He thought about it again and again, and finally came to a conclusion.

"No, how could deities have names? The great Five Elements True Lord is the supreme ruler of heaven and earth, so he naturally cannot have a mortal name. Her Majesty the Mysterious Maiden is his own daughter, born holy, so how could she have a name?"

Qinghe, unaware of anything amiss, nodded to her elder brother.

She grinned and approached the railing, mimicking Qinghan's earlier gesture, gazing at the distant sea of ​​clouds.

"Brother, you must be bored right now, right?"

"Um?"

"Let me tell you a story, brother. Mr. Mu recently told me several stories! The stories he told were quite different from the ones we'd heard before!"

Seeing her younger sister's innocent and carefree appearance made Qinghan smile, and she mimicked her expectant expression.

"Long, long ago, a meteorite came from beyond the heavens, bringing a cataclysmic disaster to the entire Nine Realms. The eternally immortal True Lord could not bear to see the world destroyed, so he shattered the star and used it as a foundation to create the Starfall Continent we know today..."

"In the distant past, when the True Lord was traveling through the world and passed through our Qing'an Prefecture, he suddenly felt that the world was dull and the Great Dao was lonely. Thus, he conceived Her Highness the Mysterious Maiden within the Qing'an Prefecture..."

"Brother, brother! Mr. Mu told me another version of the story about the Five Spirit Mystic Maiden and our Qing'an Prefecture. I'll tell you it now!"

……

In a room not far away, Mu An sat by the window, quietly watching the brother and sister by the railing.

He looked at Qinghe and smiled, watching her happily recount those stories that had become unrecognizable.

Even knowing that Qinghe was not the person in his memory, the similar flowers still attracted his attention.

Listening to Qinghe's voice, Mu An looked up at the azure sky.

"My traces have vanished from the world. Everyone knows the name of the Five Elements True Lord, but how many people still know the name Mu An?"

"The so-called Golden Immortal is nothing more than this in the end."

……

"But, it's one thing for my traces to disappear, but why did Xiao Ling'er's traces disappear along with them...?"
