Chapter 007: Indulgence and Laziness
No need, Sister Yun, you may speak.
Although this place is known for its brothels, Chen Mu is purely here to work. Six years ago, when Fengming Pavilion was here, Chen Mu was driven out by his heartless crippled master and had no choice but to plead with the owner of Fengming Pavilion to allow him to do some odd jobs here to earn a few gold coins
Chen Mu glared at the cripple, then turned back to look at the blind man
Inhaling the alluring fragrance emanating from Sister Yun, Chen Mu found himself somewhat entranced. Ever since the incident two years ago, he had been unable to help but lose himself every time he saw Sister Yun, blaming his own lack of self-control. Chen Mu silently scolded himself, wondering how he could entertain such blasphemous thoughts. After all, Sister Yun treated him with both maternal and sisterly affection.
Chen Mu did not walk quickly, and even the lazy little monster did not complain of fatigue. It took them three days to return to the city of Ubang.
The blind man set down the teacup, stood up, pondered for a moment, and said softly, "I have indeed heard someone mention it before."
"Oh, it can still talk, I like it." The cripple liked the little monster more and more as he looked at it.
Let me see. Before Chen Mu could speak, the old man, who had been drinking tea, had already sensed that something was amiss with Chen Mu and swiftly changed his technique to grasp Chen Mu's back.
Chen Mu, who was counting the amount of tips, was taken aback. He quickly put away the money pouch and hurried upstairs without a moment's delay, ensuring he held onto the carefully prepared breakfast.
Why have you been so distracted lately
The blind man, resembling an ordinary person, turned his head to stare at Chen Mu and asked, "Do you really want to know?"
Fengming Pavilion and Longyou Pavilion are the two most bustling places in the small town of Liyang. As night falls, the night scene here becomes particularly captivating, with music and dance continuing throughout the night, embodying a time of peace and prosperity. Even the blind, who cannot see, cannot help but exclaim that on the Eastern Continent, Fengming Pavilion rivals the most prosperous metropolises.
"Alright! There is something here that I need you to deliver..." Pei Yun was already accustomed to Chen Mu's insistence, but before she could finish her sentence, she heard someone outside the door calling out for the landlady, Pei Yun. She had no choice but to give in and said, "Alright, I will arrange for you to handle it in a few days."
A disheveled old man with a scruffy beard was half-reclining on the bluestone steps, picking his nose with his hand, leisurely basking in the sun. He was mumbling something incessantly; while another old man, dressed in a black cloak, with an indistinct face, sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, savoring a cup of tea made from five large leaves per pound, repeatedly exclaiming "Good tea, good tea." Both of these old men were Chen Mu's teachers and also his saviors. Since Chen Mu became aware of his surroundings, he had been following these two old men. However, one of them was blind, and the other had some difficulty walking.
Chen Mu concealed his thoughts: "Perhaps it is because I have been practicing a bit too hard."
The tomb of heaven? The cripple, who was about to return to continue enjoying the sunlight, forcibly halted his steps and turned his face to the blind man beside him
Sister Yun, this is your favorite snack, I have brought it for you
The little monster saw that everyone had left and wobbled over to the stone slab where the limping man was lying down to sleep
Seeing the courtyard gate open, the half-reclining cripple laughed heartily. Although his legs were not agile, he was quite nimble, patting Chen Mu's small head and lewdly asking, "Xiao Mu, where's the money?"
Then you should go back and rest well
"Oh! Xiaomu, what is this little thing? I haven't seen it before either." The cripple thought to himself that there really aren't many things on this continent that he hasn't seen, and he needed to take a good look.
One must understand that a Warcraft will only begin to engage in simple conversations once it reaches the celestial grade, whereas this fellow before me not only can speak but also knows how to curse, yet his strength has not even reached the earthly grade.
Kogure, Kogure
Master, can you tell me about it? I want to know what the 'Heavenly Tomb' is? Chen Mu blinked his eyes, and his thoughts began to stir, revealing an unprecedented interest in the news about the 'Heavenly Tomb'.
"Did you hear me, you old man? Hurry up and put me down!" the little monster said, out of breath.
"Yes," Chen Mu briefly recounted this experience, but he concealed the matter regarding Wu Jiao, fearing that his two masters would worry.
Chen Mu was taken aback, and the questions he wanted to ask remained unspoken. He then shook his head helplessly and said: "Master, Second Master, I will first go to Fengming Pavilion. Before I leave, I promised to help Sister Pei with some matters. I will have dinner after I return." After saying this, Chen Mu turned and left.
Ah. Chen Mu was taken aback, his face slightly flushed, and he immediately said: "Sister Yun, what are you saying?"
Master
Alright, it is getting late, and you should also go and rest. The blind man seemed to remember something, hurriedly finished the last sip of tea in his cup, and then left with a speed that Chen Mu did not clearly see.
Indeed, the small town before us is Ubong City. It is a remote town of the Suyala Dynasty, located in the east of the Eastern Continent. It is quite ordinary, a town that could not be more mundane. On the surface, this is how it should be described, but... for some people, this small city brings a feeling that no large city can provide. Just like Chen Mu and the others, who have lived here since childhood; every blade of grass and every tree is so familiar to them that even with their eyes closed, they can navigate the town with ease
"Let go of me, you old man, you are the little one here," the little monster scolded with big eyes.
The blind man's technique was exceptionally unique. After gently forming a Buddha's hand seal on Chen Mu's back, he withdrew his energy and calmly said, "There is nothing serious."
Well
The little monster, frightened, took two steps back, hiding behind.
Gently pushing open the gate of the courtyard, two elderly men appeared
Hehe. The harvest this time is quite good, isn't it? The cripple weighed the contents of his pocket.
As the door swung open, a woman without makeup came into view, her kind face framed by a bosom reminiscent of rolling hills, a rounded and perky backside, straight and taut legs, a tall stature, and an air of elegance and grandeur. Dressed in form-fitting attire, she was staring intently at Chen Mu without averting her gaze.
By the way, Master, Second Master, I happened to overhear them mentioning something about 'Heavenly Tomb' during my outing. Do you know what 'Heavenly Tomb' is?" After mentioning the words 'Heavenly Tomb', Chen Mu couldn't help but recall the murderous gaze of the Qingyi, causing him to involuntarily shiver.
Cough cough. At this moment, the lame man inappropriately cleared his throat twice and then said: "Xiao Mu, you don't need to prepare my portion for dinner tonight. I haven't been to Longyou Xuan for several months. This time... heh heh"
Your friend? The blind man sat back down at the stone table again
After parting ways with the Mercenary Guild, Chen Mu went in the opposite direction of the guild, and although his pace was not fast, he arrived at Wubang City ahead of others, which sufficiently demonstrates their familiarity with this place
The crippled person moved slightly, seizing the small creature in their hand.
"Chen Mu, please come here." A voice came from the elegant room upstairs.
Master, this is my friend Xiao Guai, please put him down
"Here." Chen Mu, feeling too lazy to say much, casually tossed the gold coins in his hand to the crippled man in front of him and walked towards the blind man who remained motionless on the stone chair
This child is always so polite, it truly troubles you. Please do not be so troublesome in the future. A woman named Sister Yun walked up to Chen Mu, gently wiping the sweat from his forehead with her hand. Looking at Chen Mu, who was smiling foolishly in front of her, Sister Yun knew that no matter what she said, he would persist. It has been six years; since she rejected the arranged marriage at the age of sixteen, she had been sent to this place. She had grown from her youthful years into a strong individual who navigates among various powerful factions, while the once naive child in front of her has also grown into an adult.

However, the cripple did not hasten to Dragon Tour Pavilion; instead, he walked in the direction that the blind man had departed.
