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

The angry girl clenched her fists. She really wanted to go up and punch Mu An to teach this young master a lesson in how the martial arts world really works, but what her second uncle had told her not long ago made her calm down again.

This young master must have guards with him; we can't let him cause trouble for the caravan.

She glared at Mu An, then forced a smile again, trying to make a final stand.

"Young hero, how about this? We won't stay for free; we'll pay for it, as if we're renting a room from you for one night."

Mu An's face remained calm, but a hint of murderous intent crept into his heart.

Good heavens, they've got their eyes on them! They're willing to spend more money to find a chance to get close to them.

Why don't we just cut it now? That would save us the trouble!

The increasingly anxious girl had no idea what Mu An was thinking. She raised the price twice in a row, but Mu An ignored her. In her anxiety, she thought Mu An was raising the price on the spot.

Damn it! I've run into a heartless person!

She glared fiercely at Mu An, turned around, lashed the horse's rump with her whip, and drove towards the caravan that was getting closer and closer to the post station.

Seeing the girl walk away, Mu An yawned lazily, sat down on the ground, and waited for the convoy to approach in the distance.

This is really troublesome. I thought I could wait until dawn to take action, but why can't they understand human language?

He had made up his mind. He would observe the situation further, and once he found evidence or someone made the first move, he would simply chop them all up to save himself the trouble.

But before Mu An could even see the caravan ahead, he instead encountered Lin Li first.

Sitting alone on the steps of the inn, which seemed like they could break at any moment, Lin Li grew increasingly uneasy.

It wasn't that I was worried about Mu An getting into trouble, but rather that the caravan members might say something unpleasant that would offend Mu An.

Yes, whether the caravan consists of ordinary people or villains is entirely up to Mu An's word.

More importantly, Lin Li always felt that Mu An might have a tiny bit of a problem with his brain!

What normal person would love to chop people up?

Even if he were just an ordinary citizen, they might still see him as a despicable villain.

The princess has always cared for the people, and we cannot allow anyone to act recklessly!

Seeing the young man riding back to the caravan in the distance, Lin Li, feeling increasingly uneasy, decisively rushed over.

She stopped behind Mu An and tentatively asked, "How is it? Are there any issues with the identities of these guests?"

"Let me tell you..."

"In short, these people are definitely not good people, and they probably won't listen to us until dawn. Maybe I should just kill them now so as not to disturb the princess's rest."

Lin Li stood behind Mu An, listening to his long-winded speech for a while, feeling completely bewildered.

She felt that Mu An's words made some sense, but something about them was not quite right.

There must be something very wrong with the position, but she was dragged into the mess and couldn't figure out what the problem was in a short time.

It wasn't until the somewhat burly man stood in front of them and spoke in a humble tone for a long time that she finally realized where the problem lay.

"Young master and young lady, we are a merchant caravan from Qingzhou City, planning to do business in Taicheng. We resupplyed in Yunshan County and set off from Yunshan County this morning."

I thought I would be able to reach Heshan Village tonight to resupply, so I didn't prepare too many supplies for keeping warm.

Unexpectedly, the weather changed drastically around 3 PM today. The temperature plummeted, and hail began to fall, delaying our journey and leaving us stranded in this wilderness.

If you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourselves. Many of the brothers were injured by the hail, and there are still traces of hail on the carriage.

This statement is absolutely true; if there is any falsehood or deception involved, may I be struck dead by lightning!

After a long silence, Lin Li gave Mu An a strange look, which made Mu An shudder before she looked away.

She had memorized the entire map of Daqi. Their plan was to cross the border from Qingzhou, head south, and return to Lingzhou.

Spruce County...

Isn't this a county town within Taizhou?

Although she had already believed most of it, Lin Li did not immediately deny Mu An's claim. She carefully looked at the trees in the wilderness, observed their branches and leaves, and finally came to a conclusion.

—They really are all spruce trees.

She really wanted to complain about how badly they drove that they strayed from the original route by a full 300 miles.

What's even more outrageous is that this directionally challenged person was so self-satisfied that he thought he was fine, and that the problem lay with the caravan!

Out of consideration for Mu An's feelings, Lin Li tugged at his sleeve and pulled him to a place ten meters away.

Before she could speak, Mu An spoke first.

"What do you mean? I told you they weren't good people, didn't I? This area is all wilderness for hundreds of miles around, and they don't have dragon horses, how could they have gotten here in a day..."

"Ugh... Why are you covering my mouth? Hey, hey, hey, don't go too far!!! We're not that close!"

"Idiot! How dare you say that! I've never seen anyone as directionally challenged as you in my entire life!"

I told you to go from Qingzhou, but you brought us all the way to Taizhou! I knew it was no wonder this place is so remote!

You're the one with the biggest problem! And you have the nerve to say the caravan has a problem!

……

……

After being scolded by Lin Li, Mu An realized he had made a foolish mistake and felt ashamed to face anyone. He squatted alone in the shadows and drew circles with a wooden stick.

Even Jun Yunxin has never cursed him like this!

About twenty or thirty meters away, Lin Li was negotiating with the guard leader named Yang Biao in a friendly manner.

About five meters away from Mu An, the tomboy dressed as a boy was making faces at him.

Shit! A little brat dares to laugh at me! Where's my sword?!

How dare they mock the Celestial Martial Saint, the Dark Feather Guard Kaiyang Envoy, the Grand Commander of Qishan Road, and a high-ranking official of the imperial court!

Go ask around in the palace, who dares to laugh in front of me!

Death penalty! The death penalty is a must!

Mu An muttered to himself for a while, but he didn't really care much. He wasn't even thinking about it. He was just indulging in his venting.

He drew a few circles, tossed the stick aside, stood up, and leisurely walked over to the tomboy.

"I was wrong just now, I misunderstood you. They've already made arrangements, and the three women in your convoy can go in and rest. Why don't you come in and warm yourself by the fire too?"

Seeing Mu An walking towards him, the tomboy tensed up and instinctively assumed a fighting stance.

She herself knew that her defiant and sarcastic manner just now could easily provoke a conflict.

Now that Mu An is walking towards her, her first reaction is to fight.

Let's fight then, who's afraid of who?

She would accept it if she couldn't beat him; she was simply outmatched. Uncle Yang certainly wouldn't stand up for her in this matter.

But the words that followed quickly stunned her, and it took her a while to mutter something.

"Your grandpa would never live with those women!"

Boom!

"Why are you hitting me on the head? Want to fight?"

"You little brat, acting all high and mighty like that! You deserve a beating!"

After saying that, Mu An picked up the girl who was holding her head with one hand, carried her into the post station, and casually shoved her to the ground.

The tomboy named Yang He was not going to behave herself. She flailed around for a long time, trying to escape Mu An's clutches, but suddenly found that an invisible force was pressing down on her, making her unable to move at all.

This foolish young master is actually a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!

Mu An had no idea what Yang He was imagining. He didn't indulge her and casually tapped her on the head again, almost making the tomboy cry.

"Sit still and don't shout. If you wake the people in the carriage, none of you will see the sun rise tomorrow!"

After saying that, he sat down by the fire, looking at his hands and then at Yang He's head.

Honestly, it feels pretty good. My mood instantly improved after Lin Li scolded me!
