The peaceful life was a bit of a change for Mu Wan Qing.
Because her previous life was either being forced by her master to practice martial arts, or studying.
Her master, Qin Hong Mian, had extremely high demands on her, and rarely had a good complexion.
This entire day of peace was something she had almost never experienced before.
Returning to her room, looking at the warm meat bun in her hand, Mu Wan Qing mumbled, "Master, men don't seem as bad as you said."
As she spoke, she lifted her veil and took a bite of the meat bun that was still warm.
Delicious.
It was a flavor she had never tasted before.
For a moment, Mu Wan Qing even had the thought that if she could live like this in the future, it wouldn't be bad.
Lu Yu's concern gave her a strange feeling of warmth.
Even while waiting for Lu Yu to return home, Mu Wan Qing actually felt like a wife waiting for her husband.
This thought made her heart tremble.
What was wrong with her?
How could she have such a ridiculous thought!
The other party was just a young man she had met yesterday.
Recalling her master's teachings, she quickly threw away this emotion.
"No! I must leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. I haven't finished the task my master gave me, how can I stay here?"
Thinking of this, a look of determination appeared in Mu Wan Qing's eyes.
Through the window, she looked at Lu Yu's departing figure, and secretly thought, "I hope we can meet again."
Lu Yu, carrying the remaining three meat buns, came to the bank of the Xi Liang River.
The old painter was still fishing, the fish basket beside him was already full, but there was no trace of the golden carp.
"So fragrant."
Suddenly, the old painter's nose twitched, he smelled the aroma of the meat buns, and turned to look at Lu Yu.
"Old Painter, you have a great nose, you smelled it from so far away?"
Lu Yu shook the meat bun in his hand and smiled.
"For me?"
The old painter was surprised.
"Yes. I think you're here fishing, so you must be very engrossed in it and wouldn't have time to eat, so I bought you some meat buns.
It's considered a reward for telling me about my father just now."
"Hahaha, you little kid is thoughtful. This old man won't be polite to you then. I was doing alright, but now that I smell this aroma, I can't help but want to eat."
Taking the meat bun from Lu Yu's hand, the old painter began to eat it in big bites.
You really have to say, this old painter has a great appetite.
The remaining three meat buns were all eaten up by him.
"Satisfying! It's so comfortable to be full!"
The old painter patted his stomach, looking content. Then he looked at Lu Yu and said, "I'm old now, I get sleepy after eating.
I'm going to sleep for a while, watch the fish for me. If a golden carp bites, wake me up."
"Okay."
It wasn't a big deal, so Lu Yu simply agreed.
The old painter went to the willow tree beside him, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep, even snoring slightly.
Lu Yu smiled, cast his line into the water, and also closed his eyes.
While waiting for the bait to be taken, he cultivated his Divine Wind Strength.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the old painter sensed that Lu Yu's aura was unusual, so he opened his eyes.
"This little kid is amazing. He can actually enter a state similar to enlightenment with just one cultivation session, allowing his internal energy to grow rapidly.
Not only is his comprehension amazing, but the internal energy he cultivates is also very powerful.
This kind of internal energy technique should have barely reached the lower-tier Heavenly rank."
The old painter was amazed in his heart, and he was quite surprised by Lu Yu's talent.
Although Wind God Leg was a genuine lower-tier Heavenly rank divine skill, Divine Wind Strength was actually just barely squeezing into the Heavenly rank.
Compared to internal energy techniques of the same rank, it was actually weaker.
After all, this martial art was not a specialized internal energy technique, but a leg technique.
To be precise, Divine Wind Strength was not a complete internal energy technique, but only part of the Three-Part Convergence Qi, so it could only barely be classified as Heavenly rank.
It must be said that this old man's eyes were extremely sharp.
He could see through many things with just one glance.
This was something Lu Yu hadn't expected.
After all, he had never heard of anyone being able to tell the level of internal energy someone cultivates with just one glance.
Fortunately, the old painter only sighed in his heart and then continued to sleep.
It seemed that this kind of internal energy technique didn't warrant any special attention from him.
After entering the First-Rate realm, Lu Yu's cultivation speed slowed down significantly.
Lu Yu didn't mind this.
After all, no matter how slow, it was still much faster than ordinary people.
The afternoon passed quickly.
Although Lu Yu didn't make any breakthroughs, he also felt that the internal energy in his dantian had become much fuller.
"Big Brother, can I ask you something?"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came, Lu Yu opened his eyes when he heard it.
In front of him was a young woman in purple clothes, she looked quite cute, and her speech had a hint of Sichuan accent.
"What's the matter?"
"Is there an inn nearby? It's getting dark, and I want to find a place to stay."
"Go south for about five li, there's a Tong Fu Inn, the only one in a radius of five hundred li, you can go there.
But they're closed today, so you may not be able to eat dinner there, you'll have to go somewhere else."
"Thank you, Big Brother! I know now!"
The young woman in purple clothes smiled and bowed, then turned to leave.
Lu Yu didn't mind, and continued his fishing endeavor.
"Ah! This nap was so comfortable! Little kid, how's your catch?"
The old painter finally woke up, stretched, and walked over.
"Not bad, there are five or six big fish."
Lu Yu smiled and replied.
"Yo, not bad! That's a pretty good catch."
"It's getting late, I'm going home to eat. Old Painter, what are your plans?"
"Me? I'll fish for a while longer, you go ahead."
"Alright, I'll go first."
Bidding farewell to the old painter, Lu Yu went straight home.
But when he got home, he saw a letter.
"Thank you for your care, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first. The road of the martial world is far, may we meet again. Mu Wan Qing."
A simple letter, with the bowl he drank from yesterday pressed on top of it.
"She left so soon? What a hasty person. Well, she's been recuperating for a day, she should be fine."
Seeing this, Lu Yu just smiled faintly, some people pass by in a flash, and perhaps they are always just passersby.
With a push of his Five-Rank Light Smoke Palm, the letter flew towards the stove.
Then, Lu Yu began to light a fire and cook.
The smoke curled up, this day drew to a close.
After Lu Yu finished cooking, Huang Rong came.
"You came just in time, I just finished cooking."
Seeing Huang Rong, Lu Yu gave a smile.
"Then I won't be polite! I've been running all the way here, I'm starving. By the way, I want to share with you the big news that happened today!
You know what? Li Da Zui's mother is actually the legendary Broken Finger Xuen Yuan!
We acted for so long, she's seen through us all along.
Later, Broken Finger Xuen Yuan learned that Bai Zhan Tang often gambled with Li Da Zui, and she said she wanted to play with Bai Zhan Tang too.
Guess what?
Bai Zhan Tang lost miserably! He almost lost his right hand!"
