Emperor of the North Chapter 38

Chapter 38 - Pre-departure

I just want to take advantage of my youth to properly go out and have a good look at the world. This way, I will not have to come to this world in vain, just that way, I will have to travel a long distance. I will not be able to accompany my father for long periods of time.

Li Mu's expression was slightly downcast as he said dejectedly.

"What are you saying!?" Your father has a strong body and needs you to stay at his beck and call. You being promising is my father's greatest comfort, no need to say anymore, even if you don't want to go to Gold Jade Sect, I will chase you out! "

Li Zhenglong suddenly looked like a different person, with a serious expression, as though he had become the strict father that Li Mu was before.

Seeing Li Zhenglong like this, Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief. This was his father, Li Zhenglong. Thinking to this point, he hesitated and looked around. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he went over to Li Zhenglong's ears.

"Father, I have some things for you, but for fear of bringing trouble to you and the Li family, I hope you won't leak them out. Of course, Xue'er and grandfather can say so, but you must warn them not to."

"What is this? Why is it so mysterious?"

Seeing Li Mu being so serious, Li Zhenglong asked suspiciously.

Li Mu did not speak. He took out a pen and a piece of paper from the desk in his room and started writing.

"Earth Transforming Qi Technique, dragon claw hand, river crossing step!"

Half an hour later, Li Zhenglong read the letter Li Mu wrote on. His face was filled with shock as he softly read with disbelief.

"Yes, this Origin Qi Method is a top rank Earth Realm cultivation technique. The dragon claw hand and river crossing step are the Heaven Ranked Martial Technique and movement techniques."

During the four years they were in the cave at Sunset Peak, he had considered about giving the Li family members a top-notch cultivation technique to improve their cultivation. As for the dragon claw hand and the river crossing step, Li Mu did not hold back and wrote it all together.

"My G.o.d, the high-rank Earth Realm martial art, the Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, these things are so valuable, it's enough to cause some large sects to go crazy. If anyone else were to find out, it would definitely bring about huge trouble. Such a precious thing, how did you get it?"

Li Zhenglong trembled as he held onto the few pages of thin paper in his hands.

"These are all my fortuitous encounters. During the four years I've been away, I've had quite a bit of fortuitous encounters, so I don't need to worry about my origins. It's just that I've been envied by the people, so I can't spread it when I'm not strong enough."

It was not that he did not want to write out the Great Brahma Art, but the amount of resources needed to cultivate the Heaven Grade Technique was simply too much. With the current conditions of the Li family, it was difficult for them to continue cultivating, which was why Li Mu had asked for the Earth Qi Transformation Art in advance.

Although the high-rank Earth Realm martial art was exceptionally precious, it was not that rare in the eyes of the once sect master of the Demonic Sect, Luan Tian.

"Don't worry, I won't leak it out. Aside from Xue'er and your grandfather, I won't tell anyone else. Sigh!" Looks like you really grew up. Good, you truly are worthy of being my, Li Zhenglong's, good son! "

Li Zhenglong patted Li Mu's shoulders and said with emotion.

After leaving the Qu Feng Pavilion, Li Mu thought for a while and walked towards the inner courtyard female disciples' residence. His goal was naturally to find Li Xue, his little sister who had been completely injured by him not long ago.

Just as he was approaching Li Xue's residence, Li Mu heard the soft sound of a girl crying. Li Mu was about to knock on the door, but did not expect another woman's voice to come out from Li Xue's room.

"Be good, Xue'er, and stop crying. You've been crying all afternoon. If you keep on crying, you'll turn into a little kitten."

The woman's voice was abnormally gentle. Even though Li Mu was outside the door, he immediately knew who the woman in the room was; she was Li Xue's mother, and he had called her Aunt for more than ten years, Zhao Ning.

"Mother, your brother doesn't like me anymore. He said I'm not his sister! "Sob, sob …"

Li Xue sobbed incessantly, listening to the anxious Li Mu outside the door.

"It's not that Mu Er doesn't like you, it's just that he's not in a good mood. You can go and find him in two days."

Zhao Ning gently advised.

"That won't happen, he blames me for giving him the poison pill, blames me for harming him, and he even pushed me down onto the ground …"

Li Xue cried in grief.

"Then can you stop crying after Xue'er pushed Big Brother onto the ground?"

Li Mu's voice came from outside the door, following that, the door was pushed open, and Li Mu walked in.

Li Mu's sudden entrance caused the two people in the room to be shocked, especially Li Xue, who had sparkling tears in the corner of her eyes and was looking at Li Mu pitifully.

Zhao Ning was a beautiful woman around thirty years old, she did not react to Li Mu's arrival at all. She was very clear about Li Mu's situation and was also aware of the many things that had happened in the Li Residence today.

"Aunt!"

Li Mu bowed towards Zhao Ning. This woman had been very good to him before, and was no different from his own son. However, later on, she became much colder.

It was because Li Zhenglong no longer wanted a son, but that did not mean that Zhao Ning did not want one.

"Mu Er, it's good that you're here. You can advise her otherwise, she's been crying all day!"

Zhao Ning smiled at Li Mu. After everything was explained, she looked at it much easier and no longer bothered about what happened in the past.

Li Mu nodded and walked to Li Xue's side, but Zhao Ning quietly left the house.

"Still angry?"

Li Mu tried to pinch Li Xue's face, but Li Xue dodged her attempt. She pouted her lips and turned her head to the side, looking like she did not like to bother with others.

Li Mu was a little speechless, and said: "Alright, big brother's not in a good mood today, so I'm letting you down. You shouldn't fuss about it, crying like a little kitten, it's so ugly."

"You are the one who is ugly! You're the ugliest, hmph! "

Li Xue let out a light snort, and continued to ignore Li Mu.

"Where's big brother? He's going to be very far away tomorrow. The next time he comes back, it might be a long time later, so don't be angry, okay? Otherwise, big brother will leave with a bit of regret."

Li Mu gently caressed Li Xue's hair.

Upon hearing that Li Mu was leaving, Li Xue immediately turned his head, and stared at Li Mu with tears in his eyes.

"What happens after big brother leaves? You have to listen to father and cultivate properly, okay?"

Seeing that Li Xue had finally looked straight at him, Li Mu's heart moved as she said this with a tinge of sadness.

"Brother, where are you going? "Is it because I hate Xue'er that I have to leave?"

Li Xue held her mouth and asked, her heart evidently still harboring some resentment towards the things Li Mu had said earlier in the day.

"No, I already said that my brother is in a bad mood, but after I said that, I also regretted it. Can you forgive me?"

Li Mu said apologetically.

"Then why did you go so far away? Isn't it better to stay home? "

After listening to Li Mu's explanation, Li Xue's tensed nerves loosened up a little, but he still could not understand a single word.

"Big brother is going out for a adventure. This world is very big, if I stay at home from birth until I'm old, what's the point of living like that? Just like you, don't you want to marry when you grow up?"

Li Mu didn't know how to explain it to Li Xue, so he simply smiled.

"NO!" "I'm not going to marry anyone, but when I grow up, I want to follow big brother. I'll go wherever you go, and only marry big brother if you want to!"

Li Xue said with a face full of determination. Although she was young, she looked very serious, not like she was joking at all.

"You little fool, how could you marry big brother? We are siblings, you will know about this after you grow up."

Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pinched Li Xue's small fat face, treating everything he said as a childish joke. Just like that, the brother and sister made up once again, and they talked for the whole night.

In the morning, Li Mu looked at Li Xue who was sleeping soundly on the bed, he touched her face, and then, unwillingly, he quietly left Li Xue's room.

"It's time to leave, Li Chongtian … Yu Hongyi... I, Li Mu, have come to find you all. Gold Jade Sect, I truly want to see what kind of demeanor a legendary sect like you all have! "

Li Mu muttered, and then walked towards the direction of the Li Residence's guest room.

"What are you doing!?" It's so early in the morning and you're making me sleep! "

In one of the guest rooms in the inner courtyard of Li Residence, Ren Xiaoyao's complaints resounded. At this time, Ren Xiaoyao was lazily lying on the bed.

Li Mu kicked the still sleepy Ren Xiaoyao and said: "What are you sleeping for, let's go!"

"Let's go?" "Where are you going?!"

Ren Xiaoyao suddenly sat up, his face full of suspicions as he stared at Li Mu.

"Traveling the world. Let's go, we're leaving now!"

Li Mu urged.

"You're crazy! How can you leave now? There's no need to be in such a rush!"

Ren Xiaoyao was unhappy, after he finished speaking he laid down and continued sleeping.

"If you are my brother, then come with me now. If you leave now, father and the others won't be able to get up. I don't want to see the sad look on their faces when I leave."

Li Mu pushed Ren Xiaoyao and explained.

Ren Xiaoyao heard and opened his eyes wide, his black and shiny eyeb.a.l.l.s moved about, and finally sighed: "I'm really afraid of you, if not for a brother like you, I wouldn't even care about you!"

Li Mu laughed, and looked at Ren Xiaoyao gratefully. Although they had only met by chance, he could feel Ren Xiaoyao's sincerity towards him, and although he did not know if Ren Xiaoyao had any ulterior motives, Li Mu was still moved.

Ren Xiaoyao jumped up from the bed, packed his things, and followed Li Mu out of the room.

Li Mu and Ren Xiaoyao quietly pulled out the Multi Colored Tiger, and rushed towards the main entrance of the Li Residence, but Li Mu did not have any luggage, it was not that he did not have any, but rather, he did not have any.
