Author: Half Life of a Caterpillar

…

Hearing Shi Jian's words, Li Mu couldn't help but glance at him. At this time, Shi Jian's loneliness had disappeared. He returned to the majestic senior brother Maoshan again. It seemed as if what Li Mu saw just now was an illusion. If it weren't for him,

If the gray on your temples is still there.

But Shi Jian was an elder, and it was difficult for Li Mu to ask questions. Although Li Mu didn't understand the reason for his sudden request, he still told him some things that happened in Yizhuang since he became a disciple.

After these few days of getting along, Li Mu has almost forgotten Shi Jian's stereotype, because although Shi Jian seems not to be approachable, he is still quite good to the younger disciples. At least during the days when Li Mu is here, he will take the initiative to give guidance.

Cultivation is just a little stricter.

In the following days, Li Mu did not see Shi Shaojian again, and Shi Jian only said "don't worry about him" and then stopped talking. In this case, Li Mu did not bother him again.

The control in the city is getting looser and looser, and the commander seems to have given up on pursuing the flower picker. There are no more soldiers patrolling the streets closely, and there are more pedestrians. The residents think it is because of the strict investigation, maybe the flower picker.

Having left the provincial capital, the city has returned to its former bustle.

The Ren and Guan families even took this opportunity to hold an engagement ceremony, and Li Mu was invited over early.

The engagement was held at the Guan family's restaurant, the same restaurant where they met Shi Shaojian. There were a large number of guests and it was very lively that day.

Ren Fa and Boss Guan stood at the door of the restaurant to greet the guests. The wrinkles on their smiling faces were almost squeezed together.

"Li Mu, you're here, come here quickly, come here quickly!"

Li Mu had never seen Boss Guan, but seeing the two of them standing together, he could naturally guess that when he saw the two of them so busy, he wanted to follow the crowd in, but Ren Fa saw him and greeted him, and because he acted like this

He yelled, and those guests who had not yet entered could not help but cast their eyes on him.

Feeling the gazes around him, Li Mu touched his nose awkwardly and walked helplessly towards Ren Fa.

"Let me introduce to you, this is my family's public relations boss."

"Boss Guan, this is Li Mu, the apprentice of Uncle Jiu from our town, and a disciple of Maoshan!"

After hearing Ren Fa's words, Boss Guan's eyes suddenly lit up, he moved forward and smiled at Li Mu, cupping his hands.

"Daozhang Li, I'm disrespectful! I heard Xiaobin mention that Tingting has a friend who practices with a master from Maoshan. I didn't expect that at such a young age, she is really talented!"

"Thank you, Boss Guan. Just call me Li Mu."

Boss Guan's enthusiasm made Li Mu feel a little uncomfortable, and the reason why he felt this way was because Guan Bin had gone home and told him about Li Mu. After hearing that Li Mu had a close relationship with Fu Mo Tang and still lived there, Boss Guan felt that this

It's also an opportunity.

Maybe they can use Li Mu's relationship with the Ren family to make good friends with the Demon Futing Hall. After all, they all live in the Demon Futing Hall. Maybe they can also talk in front of Shi Jian. If they can convince Shi Jian to connect them with the military,

Then everything will be fine.

So after learning about this relationship, Boss Guan seriously told Guan Bin to make friends with Li Mu. Unexpectedly, he met Li Mu first today, so he behaved like this.

"That's right, Lao Guan, you're showing off like this."

Ren Fa observed the discomfort on Li Mu's face and laughed to ease it. He knew that the Guan family was at a critical moment and wanted to win over the Demon Futing Hall. However, Li Mu was not here on behalf of the Demon Futing Hall at this time. It would be very difficult to rush forward like this.

It's easy to backfire.

"Ah! It was me who was rude, hahaha. When the banquet starts later, I will punish myself with three cups of wine."

After being reminded by Ren Fa, Boss Guan immediately reacted. Although he was still very enthusiastic, at least it was not to the extent that Li Mu felt uncomfortable at first.

It was okay to continue standing here, so Ren Fa took him into the restaurant. There were many guests gathered in groups, all of whom were businessmen from the provincial capital. Li Mu glanced around, okay

, I don’t know any of them.

Following Mr. Ren all the way to a room in the restaurant, the scene inside immediately lit up his eyes.

Ren Tingting was wearing a white dress, and standing next to her was Guan Bin, who was in a suit and leather shoes. If it weren't for the contemporary decorations around her, Li Mu would have felt like he had returned to his original world.

Moreover, the two of them match each other very well regardless of their appearance and temperament, and they can be said to be a golden couple.

"Brother Li! You are here."

After Li Mu came in, Ren Tingting and Guan Bin immediately turned around when they heard the noise. When they saw it was Li Mu, Ren Tingting said to him happily. Guan Bin also followed her and walked over, nodded to Li Mu, and then raised her hand

Reaching towards Li Mu.

"Hello Mr. Li, I am Guan Bin, Tingting's fiancé."

"Hello Mr. Guan, congratulations, you are indeed a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match!"

Li Mu also reached out to shake hands with him. He was no stranger to this Western way of greeting, and his reaction also surprised Guan Bin. The handshake ceremony is usually only done in big cities like provincial capitals under the influence of Western culture.

Yes, and as far as he knew, Li Mu lived in a rural place like Renjia Town and was so familiar with the handshake ceremony!

After Master Ren dropped Li Mu off, he went out to continue receiving guests, and there were only three of them left in the room. After a brief greeting, Ren Tingting glanced at the door, and then said to Li Mu.

"Brother Li, have you met Shi Shaojian now that you are living in the Demon Fu Hall?"

"I've seen it before, what's wrong?"

Hearing her suddenly mention Shi Shaojian, Li Mu asked doubtfully, the two of them should have nothing in common!

"How is your relationship with the Demon-Suppressing Hall?"

Ren Tingting did not answer Li Mu's question but instead asked him again. Seeing this, Guan Bin couldn't help but reached out and gently pulled down her sleeve, and smiled apologetically at Li Mu.

"what happened?"

Seeing this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, so he asked in a deep voice.

Because he thought for a moment, and based on what he knew about Shi Shaojian, if the two of them had an intersection, it would most likely not be a good thing.

"Mr. Li, it's okay. Tingting just said it casually. Please don't take it to heart."

Guan Bin spoke at this time and shook his head at Ren Tingting, but Ren Tingting ignored his gesture and looked at Li Mu.

"It's okay, just tell me."

Li Mu nodded towards her. He also wanted to know how Ren Tingting came to interact with Shi Shaojian and whether his suspicions could be correct.

These days, he has had little contact with Shi Shaojian. What he knows about him is probably what he saw when he followed Shi Shaojian that day except in the movies.

Judging from his current observations, if Shi Jian really turns into the character in the movie later, it is most likely because of Shi Shaojian. However, there are too few clues now. He does not have the ability to be Sherlock Holmes, so it is impossible to speculate.

come out.

"That's it...before Uncle Guan and A Bin..."

Ren Tingting relayed the previous business deals between the Guan family and Shi Shaojian to Li Mu. The reason why she wanted to tell the story was because Ren Tingting did not want the Guan family to get deeper into trouble. She chose to confess to Li Mu because she believed that his character would not be casual.

It's not necessarily a matter of telling the matter out, or there is still a part of me that wants to use his mouth to tell the matter to Shi Jian.
