Chapter 168 I'm Worth It
After a lively and warm dinner, Mu Li sent Mu Yuge away and accompanied Mu Qingyue to rest in the courtyard.
Mu Li did not talk about the past few days, did not talk about the dangers he encountered, nor did he show off his current achievements, but just stayed quietly beside Mu Qingyue.
Mu Qingyue did not ask about Mu Li's experience. Everything about her child outside was no longer important after seeing him come back safely.
They recalled the past and thought of many interesting things, just like when the family got together.
…………
The next day, Mu Li prepared breakfast early in the morning. After spending the meal with Mu Qingyue, he left the Mu family compound again.
The most prosperous area in Nanmu City, in the area where major commercial banks gather, there are still people coming and going in front of Qianbao Pavilion, and the business is booming.
In recent years, under the management of Laiya, Qianbao Pavilion has not only closely traded with various major families, but also occupied a certain position among the many casual cultivators.
Looking at Qianbao Pavilion, which became more lively, Mu Li smiled and walked in directly.
"Hello, I'll look for Miss Leiya." Mu Li didn't see Leiya. After looking around, he found a familiar friend.
"Sorry... hey, you are Mu Li." The guy was busy with the work he was working on. He wanted to refuse politely, but after seeing Mu Li's face clearly, he immediately changed his words.
There are many people who want to see Laiya on weekdays, but the people who want to see usually know how to see him, and those who find these guys are often people who Laiya won’t see.
So, although they would not refuse directly, these guys would still tactfully block them.
However, the person in front of him was obviously not. He knew that Laiya had personally received Mu Li, so he quickly said politely: "Please wait a moment, I'll go and report it now."
Mu Li watched him go up the second floor quickly, then jogged down quickly, and said with a little panting: "Shopkeeper Laiya, please come up, please come with me."
Mu Li followed closely behind and soon came to the door of the room on the second floor.
After watching the guy leave, Mu Li wanted to push open the door directly, but as soon as he approached, he felt a powerful soul fluctuation and couldn't help but stop.
"Xiao Muli, why don't you come in? Sister is still waiting for you!" Just as Muli hesitated a little, the door of the room suddenly opened on its own, and a slightly charming teasing sound of Leya came.
Listening to the familiar voice, Mu Li felt a little friendly for no reason, and no longer hesitated, and walked in directly.
I saw Laiya sitting casually and lazy, her temperament was even more attractive, but her eyes were still as they were back then.
And beside the woman, Mr. Li, who had been silent, had a hint of surprise in his originally silent expression. He should have been surprised at the speed of Mu Li's realm improvement!
"Miss Raya, I haven't seen you for several months. Sister, you have a better temperament." Mu Li came close and chuckled slightly.
"Oh! I haven't seen each other for a few months, and Xiao Muli will also talk. After leaving for so long, I'll let my sister wait." Laiya looked at Muli's much stronger body with some interest, and suddenly approached Muli with anger and said maliciously.
"Uh... it's all my fault, I hope my sister will forgive me." After being suddenly approached by Laiya, Mu Li instinctively retreated and said in a panic.
"Hahaha, Xiao Muli is still so cute, it's really irresistible!" Looking at Mu Li Yiru's reaction over the past few years, Laiya also smiled with a prank.
Looking at Mu Li's slightly embarrassed and feeling that it was almost done, Laiya also put away her charming attitude, and said in a correct tone, "It's a coincidence that Xiao Mu Li came back. If you're a few days later, you won't be able to see me, my sister."
"Hey, what's wrong? But what happened?" Mu Li asked with some concern.
"Hehehe, don't worry, this is a good thing for my sister. My business test for my sister has been completed, and it's time to return to the family. My sister is about to say goodbye." Feeling the kindness in Mu Li's words, Laiya smiled gently.
"So that's the case, then congratulations to my sister." Mu Li said sincerely.
"Hey, what are you congratulating! When I go back and face those open and dark battles, my sister is so angry when I think about it!" Laiya frowned in a little discouraged manner, as if she was not alert at all.
"By the way, Xiao Muli comes to find her sister as soon as she comes back, but if there is anything, I can help you while my sister hasn't left yet!" Leya stretched and said casually.
"It's nothing. Thank you for taking care of my mother these days. I'm here to thank you." Mu Li straightened his body and said seriously.
"This is nothing. Haven't we ever had a deal? Don't worry, even if my sister leaves, there will be someone from the power of my sister to take over. He will secretly take care of your mother. I think no one in Nanmu City dares not give her a little bit of a thin face." Laiya had already thoughts of being so delicate, and with years of contact, she naturally knew what Mu Li valued.
When Mu Li promised to see Laiya, he thanked him again.
After the two of them were polite for a while, they saw Laiya suddenly frowning and complaining with great concern.
"Hey, Xiao Muli, you are so nice. You are satisfied with such a simple way. Unlike my sister, I don't know how to live when I go back this time."
"Xiao Muli! Don't forget to agree to my sister's deal! Sister is waiting for you to become stronger, come and protect me." However, Laiya was a little bored, and she couldn't help but feel playful again when she looked at Muli.
When Mu Li saw the girl approaching with bad intentions, he immediately changed the subject and said, "I don't know what difficulties my sister has encountered, so it will be more comfortable to say it."
"Sister, my difficulties are a bit early for you!" Laiya blinked her eyes jokingly, but she didn't want to let Mu Li go easily.
"Miss, this little guy is very powerful. Now he has advanced to the Tianling Stage. Maybe there is no need to wait too long!" Mr. Li, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but worry that it would arouse his disgust when he saw Laiya continue to oppress Mu Li. He interrupted at the rare moment.
"Oh... Xiao Muli has advanced to the Tianling Stage, how long has it been?" Laiya first looked back at Mr. Li in surprise, and then looked at Mu Li in surprise.
Laiya's cultivation talent is not high. Although she has a lot of resources, she does not put her time on it. She is still in the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Stage, and she did not feel Mu Li's hidden aura for a while.
Among the big forces like Laiya, talented ones are naturally to improve their cultivation. After all, force is the foundation of a force.
Those who do not have excellent talent will choose to operate the right to earn benefits for themselves and their families, thus occupying a position in the family power.
After all, people have limited energy and if they want to go far in their practice, they cannot spend too much time on foreign affairs. Naturally, talents in this area are needed to manage them, and Laiya chose this path.
Laiya was surprised that Mu Li's progress was also brought back to the old man's intentions. She did not want to do too much by herself, so as not to make Mu Li dissatisfied and lay hidden dangers for the future.
"Hey, Xiao Muli, you don't know. It's not easy for my sister to live in the family. After I go back this time, I will host an auction, but there are no precious items. My sister will not be good at hosting this first time. It may be difficult for me to live in the family in the future!" Laiya put away her bullying Muli without leaving any trace, looking pitiful.
"Sister wants to host the auction, won't the family help?" Mu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Laiya stopped forcing him.
"Hey, my family is much more complicated than you. Without enough support, my sister can only hold an ordinary auction. The first time I only had this result, and the evaluation in the family is naturally average." Laiya shook her head, really helpless.
The power behind the girl is also one of the major forces in the business, but unfortunately she will not spend too much money on herself.
After all, Laiya now understands that she is not worthy of the family's investment.
Originally, Laiya was just trying to divert Mu Li's attention and she was venting bitterness, but she never thought about what Mu Li really wanted to do.
However, after hearing Leya's complaint, Mu Li became silent, as if he was really thinking about something.
Mu Li's changes immediately attracted the attention of both of them.
"Miss Raya, see how this is. Can it be helpful to you?" Before the two of them could speak, the space ring in Mu Li's hand flashed with a glimmer of light, and an exquisite wooden box sealed by a talisman appeared directly in front of them.
"What is this?" Seeing Mu Li taking out the box so carefully, Laiya naturally would not think that he would overestimate himself and looked upright.
Without saying much, Mu Li directly untied the talisman seal, opened the box, and presented the things inside to the two of them.
After seeing the dazzling five-leaf Yin Lotus inside, feeling the rich vitality it emitted, Laiya showed shock in front of Mu Li for the first time, took a deep breath before calming herself down.
"This is a five-leaf Yin Lotus, and it has been used for hundreds of years. Such a crystal clear treasure medicine may have been cultivated through special methods, and it is a little more precious than the average five-leaf Yin Lotus." The girl suddenly looked extremely serious, and there seemed to be a brilliant light in her eyes, and she actually saw the foundation of this spiritual medicine thoroughly.
"I don't know, this medicine may help Miss Rya." Mu Li said with a smile.
"Of course, if you have this thing, let alone the strong Yin-Yang Realm, even those old monsters in the Three Change Realm, someone will probably be moved." Laiya did not hide her excitement at all, and looked at Mu Li seriously, no longer treating him as the teasing little ghost, but an important guest he had to face.
The girl's change made Mu Li feel a little uncomfortable and said awkwardly: "I got this thing accidentally. Since it is useful to my sister, I will leave it to my sister for auction! It is also considered a reward for my sister."
Bang, Mu Li just finished speaking, but Laiya directly closed the wooden box and pushed it to Mu Li.
"Hehe, Xiaomuli thinks so well. In my sister's eyes, the favors of Xiaomuli are much more precious than this thing. Sister, I'd better wait for you to repay the favors in the future!" Without any hesitation, Laiya directly returned to this spiritual object and changed back to her usual appearance again.
Mr. Li, who was beside him, was still silent, but in his originally turbid eyes, he was very satisfied with the girl's decision, and a light of relief flashed.
"Uh, my sister misunderstood. I don't want to use it to repay favors, but I just want to prove to my sister that I am worthy of your investment. My mother will bother you in the future." Mu Li was also very satisfied with Laiya's vision and mind, and explained immediately.
"So that's the case. Since my brother is going to auction, I will definitely sell you a good price. I will invite my sister to dinner at that time!" Seeing Mu Li say this, Laiya directly grabbed the wooden box back and placed it behind him.
"Haha, then I'll be lucky." Seeing that Laiya put away the wooden box directly and said that she would help him sell things, Mu Li didn't know what to say.
Afterwards, the two of them made some polite words and saw that Laiya was deliberately teasing her again, Mu Li had to find a reason and fled here in a hurry.
