No hope for eternal life

Chapter 142 Changes in Mentality

Afterwards, Mu Xun and Chen Li woke up one after another. After Chen Li woke up, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for your guidance, I will benefit from it for the rest of my life."

This shows that Chen Xuanli reaped a lot of benefits.

Mo Lianyue said lightly: "It's fate that we met, so don't take it too seriously."

At the same time, Yang Wuque flew into the air and appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Mu Xun quickly introduced to Mo Lianyue: "This is Mr. Yang Wuque, my mentor."

Mo Lianyue understood what he said and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Yang, and thank you for teaching my son before."

When Yang Wuque heard Mo Lianyue addressing Mu Xun, he immediately understood Mo Lianyue's identity. Thinking that the previous sword attack was also launched by this person, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "It's a small matter. You are too polite."

Then, everyone returned to Qingliu Town together.

As the town was in sight, everyone began to walk. Mu Changsheng whispered to Chen Li, "Brother Chen, could you please not follow me for the time being? I will stay at home for half a month, and then come back to find you to go back to the capital together."

Mu Changsheng didn't want his parents to see Chen Li, who was protecting him closely, in order to avoid any bad associations.

"No problem, I'll wait for you at the intersection outside the town." Chen Li agreed without hesitation. He followed Mu Changsheng originally to ensure Mu Changsheng's safety, but now it seems that it is not his turn to protect Mu Changsheng's safety.

So Chen Xuanli apologized to Mo Lianyue and left the team.

Not long after, everyone walked into the town, and Yang Wuque also left the team and went home.

After Yang Wuque left, Mu Changsheng heard Yang Wuque's voice transmission: "After you go home to see your parents, come to my place."

Later, as they passed by the sword-making shop near their home, Mu Changsheng saw the familiar sword-making figure of Mu Qunxian, and he called out as usual: "Uncle Mu."

However, for Mu Changsheng, the current Mu Qunxian seemed to have changed a lot.

Mu Qunxian smiled as usual and said, "You're back. The news that you got third place in the palace examination has already been reported. Congratulations."

"Lucky, lucky." Mu Changsheng kept saying lucky. He asked himself if there was no Mishan competition, the possibility of getting third place would not be very high.

Then, Mu Changsheng entered the house, and Mu Xun and Mo Lianyue walked into the sword-making shop.

Mu Qun saw Mo Lianyue coming first, without much expression, he just looked up and said: "Here you are." As a greeting, he continued to lower his head to forge the sword.

Seeing this, Mo Lianyue curled her lips, patted Mu Xun on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Don't learn from him in the future, it will be easy for you to not get a wife if you do this."

Then, as Mo Lianyue pulled Mu Xun into the house, she said, "Your father has been lacking a sword for many years, so for all these years, he has been forging swords during the day and busy with other things at night. He has no time to take care of us, and we don't need to pay attention to him."

"I understand." Mu Xun nodded. He knew that Mu Qunxian was a swordsmith, but he was short of a sword. It was obvious that the sword he was missing must be extraordinary, at least it was not something he could help with now.

Finally, Mu Xun took out his black bead, handed it to Mo Lianyue, and explained: "I got this black bead by coincidence. Can you help me take a look?"

Mu Xun didn't take out the black bead before because he had some doubts about Mo Lianyue's identity, but now that he has met Mu Qunxian, he naturally no longer has any doubts.

Mo Lianyue pinched the black bead with two fingers, examined it carefully, shook her head slightly and said: "The material is unknown, the purpose is unknown, there is an extraordinary sword intent lingering on the black bead, but I don't know what it is used for."

Mu Xun was somewhat surprised when he heard this and said, "You don't know its purpose either."

"Although we don't know its purpose, the person who made it must have had a high level of cultivation and would not have pulled such a prank. Keep it well. If the opportunity is sufficient in the future, you may be able to discover its purpose." Mo Lianyue instructed. With her strength and identity, she couldn't even tell the material of the black bead, which in itself made her quite interested.

Mu Xun was a little disappointed, not for himself, but for Mu Changsheng. He knew that Mu Changsheng had spent 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones to buy the black pearl.

On the other side, Mu Changsheng, who was still unaware of the situation, had been reunited with his parents.

Mu Changsheng's rankings in the county examination, prefecture examination, and palace examination were all reported back by County Lady Gao Xuan, and both his family and Mu Xun's family were in the limelight.

Mu Yanggu happily pulled Mu Changsheng to drink, while Chen Wanru sat beside him with a happy look on her face.

After drinking a pot of muddy wine and getting a little tipsy, Mu Changsheng finally talked about business: "Dad, Mom, there is a new person in our neighbor Mu Xun's house. She is Mu Bo's Taoist partner, named Mo Lianyue. They are both hidden masters. You should know whether you will see them in the future."

Mu Yanggu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, your mother and I understand."

Mu Yanggu had long doubted Mu Qunxian's identity. How could an ordinary person forge swords every day without stopping? How could he train a child to get first place in the palace examination?

Mu Changsheng then stood up and said, "Mr. Yang has something else to talk to me about. I'll go first."

"Go, go." Mu Yanggu waved his hand and said. He was now very relieved about Mu Changsheng.

When Mu Changsheng walked out of the house, it was already dark and the sword-making shop was closed.

On the way, people he met by chance, no matter whether he knew him well or not, all greeted and congratulated Mu Changsheng, and Mu Changsheng could only respond with a smile.

Logically speaking, Mu Changsheng should be very happy to return home, but his smile was a bit forced. Mu Changsheng knew the reason, but he didn't dare to look into his heart.

Until he arrived at the school gate, Mu Changsheng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and knocked on the door.

"Squeak." The door opened slowly, and it was Yang Wuque who opened it himself.

"Sir." Mu Changsheng saluted with his fists clasped.

"Come in." Yang Wuque welcomed Mu Changsheng into the house.

Mu Changsheng sat at the desk below the stage, and Yang Wuque sat on the podium, as if they had returned to the class scene of the past.

“Congratulations on winning the third place in the palace examination. You have only been practicing the secret technique for half a year, and you have achieved such results. It is truly commendable. To be honest, you surprise me.” Yang Wuque said with a smile.

Mu Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, "Sir, you are too kind. The rules of this palace examination have been greatly changed compared to previous years. It is indeed a lot of luck that my student got the third place."

"Luck and luck are also symbols of strength." Yang Wuque waved his hand and said.

Yang Wuque knew very well that although Mu Changsheng was practicing the extremely high-grade secret art of the Nine Transformations of the Physical Body, he had only been practicing for a short time. In addition, the first two of the Nine Transformations of the Physical Body were just laying the foundation, and he did not have any extraordinary means to display. Under such circumstances, Mu Changsheng was able to perform well in the county examination, prefecture examination, and palace examination. In addition to strength and luck, he also needed a lot of wisdom.

Then, Mu Changsheng took the initiative to talk about what happened today: "Today, the student met Sha Tongmo..."

After hearing the whole story, Yang Wuque sighed: "Shatongmo is greedy and it is his own fault. Fortunately, the mother mine of gold and silver stone has been mined, so it will not affect you much."

Compared to Sha Tongmo, Yang Wuque was more surprised at Mo Lianyue's identity. He also thought that Mu Qunxian, as Mo Lianyue's Taoist partner, must be of extraordinary status and strength. Before, he thought that Mu Qunxian was a frustrated person like himself, but now it seems that he doesn't look frustrated at all.

Then, Yang Wuque took out a storage bag, handed it to Mu Changsheng and said, "This is your share of spirit stones."

Mu Changsheng did not take the storage bag immediately, but bowed and said: "I also heard about your injury when I was outside. If you are short of spiritual stones for healing, you can use these. I am not short of spiritual stones for the time being."
