Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

“I can’t do this again next time!”

Xu Mu helplessly said.

“Hmm!”

Ye Yingying nodded, her eyes soft as water.

Xu Mu did not expect that his little wife would have such a peculiar taste.

After tidying up his clothes and clapping two Purification Charms to clear the tent of tadpole smells, Xu Mu then went out.

“Friend Xu, you’re up!”

Zhang Shouren came over with a smile and greeted.

“Hmm!”

Xu Mu nodded.

Ouyang Ying had already started packing up on the other side.

They are all cultivators, much more convenient than ordinary people.

A Purification Charm can take care of hygiene, and a Fasting Pill can solve food.

“Someone died over there!”

“What happened? Was it done by a monster beast?”

“Not sure!”

Intermittent discussions came from the surrounding crowd.

“Friend Lan, you look after here, I’m going to see what’s going on!”

Xu Mu thought of the few people he sensed last night.

Was it them who did it?

He frowned!

It was already troublesome enough to have monster beasts, not to mention people starting trouble; plus, this was only the first day.

“Okay!”

Lan Shijin nodded in agreement, and Xu Mu left the team and went to where the dead person was.

On the dew-laden grass, several bodies, obviously cut by Magic Artifacts, were scattered casually. There were traces of small animals gnawing at them, and at this moment many small insects and ants, unique to the jungle, were crawling over them.

From the traces around, the other party acted cleanly and decisively, and the victims had no power to resist.

Many people were surrounding the area, pointing and whispering, but no one was helping to collect the bodies.

Of course, Xu Mu wouldn’t either!

Everyone should sweep snow from their own doorstep. Who would care about such insignificant matters?

“It does seem to have been done by those few people!”

In his perception last night, those few people came from this direction.

Just when Xu Mu prepared to leave, a surprised shout came to his ear.

“Friend Xu?

Xu Mu found the voice familiar and turned to look.

Dressed in green, beautiful face, eyebrows adorned with a beauty mark.

Who else could it be but Su Qing!

She and a man in a blue robe were walking side by side, coming from the front of the team, they seemed to be here to see what had happened.

“Friend Su!

H

Xu Mu showed a bit of a smile.

He was initially worried that something might have happened to her but, unexpectedly, she was in the team.

Although it had only been two days since they last met, the reunion of old acquaintances in such circumstances made him somewhat surprised.

“Qing, who is this?”

The man next to Su Qing asked.

The man was tali and handsome, with a red flower marked between his eyebrows, showing both majesty and a hint of mystery.

“Brother Xiao Yi, this is the Pill Master Xu I mentioned to you!”

Su Qing, holding the man’s arm, spoke with some intimacy.

ii

So it’s Pill Master Xu, I’ve heard a lot about you!”

Xiao Yi’s mouth curled slightly, he saluted Xu Mu, his eyes held a touch of arrogance. After seeing the tier three robe Xu Mu was wearing, he seemed somewhat dismissive.

He had heard about Xu Mu from Su Qing. He knew that Xu Mu’s income was good, but wearing a tier three robe was a bit of a stretch. It was evident that he was pretending to be something bigger than he was.

“You’re too kind!” Xu Mu also returned the salute.

He didn’t notice the change in Xiao Yi’s eyes.

Of course, he didn’t have the mood to care about someone he met for the first time.

“Friend Xu, weren’t you supposed to leave with the Chi Family? Why are you still here?” Su Qing asked somewhat strangely.

She had known that the Chi Family wanted to recruit Xu Mu and planned to take him away since the time Chi Feiyan contacted him through her.

“Well, it’s a bit embarrassing!”

Xu Mu briefly explained the situation at that time.

“Humph! I didn’t expect the Chi Family, being a big clan, to not honour their words!” Su Qing was somewhat annoyed.

“Aren’t all big clans like that?” Xiao Yi shrugged indifferently.

Then he smiled at Su Qing and said, “If they weren’t like this, how would I have met you?”

“Yes!”

The two looked at each other affectionately, making Xu Mu’s scalp numb.

“Friend Su, if you have nothing else, I’ll go first!”

Xu Mu saluted and prepared to leave.

Originally, he wanted to invite Su Qing to join them, but after sensing that Xiao Yi was at the late stage of Qi cultivation, he immediately gave up.

Although he did not know how Su Qing became close to Xiao Yi, with Xiao Yi, at the late stage of Qi Cultivation, present, the chances of him being chosen were slim.

Unless he showed his true strength!

Obviously, Xu Mu would not do this!

“Friend Xu, our team is just up ahead. If you need anything, you can come to see me!” said Su Qing.

Su Qing, too, did not invite Xu Mu to join their team.

“Thank you!”

After expressing his thanks, Xu Mu turned and walked away.

“He dresses well but lacks strength. Qing’er, your friend might be in trouble soon!” Watching Xu Mu walk away, Xiao Yi gloated.

“Isn’t that too much! We are in the forest now, shouldn’t we be working together against the monster beasts?” Su Qing, who had never been out of the marketplace, asked in confusion.

“Did you not see the bodies on the ground!”

Xiao Yi pointed at the dismembered bodies on the grass.

“Could it be…”

“What else it could be! We just entered less than a hundred miles, there’s no monster beast or evil curse!”

Listened to Xiao Yi, Su Qing felt worried, thinking whether she should remind Xu Mu. She has had a good impression of him all along.

“Brother Xiao Yi, can I go and warn him?”

“Why would you warn him!”

Xiao Yi was suddenly a bit upset.

“People without brains deserve to die! Even if you warn him this time, he won’t escape the next time. Besides, there’s a long way to go. With his strength, he won’t be able to reach Liyang Sect at all. You wouldn’t want him to join our team, would you?”

Xiao Yi seemed a bit annoyed.

“1,1 didn’t mean that!” Su Qing hurriedly explained.

It was not easy for her to get close to Xiao Yi and have him lead her family away. She dared not offend him.

That’s why she didn’t invite Xu Mu, and she was very vague about the location of their team.

“Best if it’s not! To be honest, it’s already a stretch for me to take you and your family. I can’t afford to protect outsiders!”

“I understand, Brother Xiao Yi! I’m sorry!”

“That’s alright! I’m not such a petty person!”

Xiao Yi’s expression returned to normal.

“In the next few days, you should practice the martial method I taught you as quickly as possible. When the time comes, we’ll cultivate together, our strength will break through again. We will have a better chance when we go deeper into the forest.”

“I see! I’ll do my best!”

Su Qing’s face turned pale, but she still nodded.

With her intelligence, she saw the problem with that martial method, but she had no choice but to accept it. This was the price she had to pay for him taking her family to Liyang Sect.

“That’s good! Let’s go! We should get going too!”

Xiao Yi turned and walked away, and Su Qing quickly followed him.

On the other side, Xu Mu, who had returned to his team, finished packing his luggage and led the others to follow the crowd.

Nightfall!

The cool wind blew, reverberating with the laughter of foxes and the cries of monkeys.

In the scattered tents, Zhou Chong and his men were gathered, discussing their target.

“Let’s go for the Xu guy, he’s undoubtedly loaded!” Someone said.

“I have a bad feeling about this! He’s not weak, and he’s very alert. If we fail, it would reveal our identities. It would be troublesome to try again next time!”

Surprisingly, Zhou Chong objected.

Of course, he was not being kind.

“First, let’s target those who are weaker! As for the Xu guy, let’s just keep an eye on him. When the crowd disperses as we go deeper into the forest in a few days, we can coordinate with more teams to ensure that we don’t fail!”

The others nodded, agreeing with Zhou Chong’s words.

“This time, our target is someone from Brother Jing’s team. Just like yesterday, Brother Jing will lead them to a secluded area, and the rest will strike at the same time! Remember, make sure to apply the Silence Charm correctly, don’t make a sound!”

As they were talking softly, the figure of Xu Mu slowly appeared near the tent.

At this moment, he looked fierce and terrifying, tall and burly, completely different from his usual image, perhaps even more frightening than Zhou Chong.

He had temporarily altered his image by controlling his body muscles.

Learning from the previous lesson, he first changed his appearance before taking action.

As for Zhou Chong and the others, he had already discovered their intentions last night.

He did not want to get involved, but to avoid trouble-

“I’ll have to send you on your way with a few booby traps!

He squeezed the Finger Jue, conjuring dozens of flaming knives out of thin air, and shot them at the tent like lightning.

“Who is this…”

The people in the tent felt the danger and tried to rush out, but it was too late.

The enhanced Fire-controlling skill was too fast for middle-stage Qi cultivation to dodge.

The overwhelming flying knives covered everyone.

Boom!

After the explosion, the targets did not even see who attacked them, they were already dead.

After finishing the kill, cleaning up, and scattering the ashes, Xu Mu used the invisibility technique and casually disappeared into the night.

Those loose cultivators who came out to check after hearing the noise did not dare to stop him.

Xu Mu’s attack was so powerful that even late-stage Qi cultivators could not withstand it. Those cultivators who were nonetheless at the middle stage of Qi cultivation would have to be out of their minds to try to challenge him.

As for the late-stage cultivators, they were mostly at the front of the team, there was a significant distance between them. Even if they heard a noise, it was too late to check.

However, the impact of the battle was unexpectedly huge.

The next day, the team’s structure changed dramatically..
