Chen Mu, dressed in a blue robe, emerged from the woods and greeted Duan Tianlong and Duan Tianlong with a smile.
Duan Tianlong clearly hadn't expected there to be someone hiding here. He looked Chen Mu up and down, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. Just as he was about to ask, Su Miaoyin spoke first.
"National Preceptor Chen Mu! What do you mean by this? Why are you following me!"
Although Su Miaoyin was grateful to Chen Mu for helping her at the Flower Moon Palace, Chen Mu's complete knowledge of her whereabouts made her suspicious of Chen Mu motives.
"Haha, Fairy Miaoyin, don't be angry."
I admit I did follow you, but only to find out what happened.
After all, Long Xiang is not only your enemy, but also my enemy; we're essentially the same kind of people.
Chen Mu said this specifically to bring the two sides closer.
"Haha, so you are the Master of the Chen Kingdom. I am Duan Tianlong, the leader of the Dragon-Toppling Society. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
As the leader of the Dragon-Toppling Society, Duan Tianlong was naturally familiar with the heroes of the world. After Su Miaoyin reminded him, Duan Tianlong immediately knew Chen Mu's identity.
Although Chen Mu disappeared from the Pan Emperor Continent for more than two years because he went to the Netherworld.
However, in the battle of the Chen Kingdom six months ago, three Sage the Heavenly Puppet Sect died in the Chen Kingdom, which brought the Chen Kingdom's reputation to its peak. Chen Mu, the mysterious national teacher whose whereabouts were uncertain, once again attracted the attention of many parties.
"Chief Tianlong, it is fate that we meet today, so I will not beat around the bush."
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. You and I are both oppressed by the Haotian Empire, so we are natural allies.
Why don't we find a place to have a drink and discuss whether there's anything we can do to cooperate?
Chen Mu laughed heartily, his expression calm.
"I wholeheartedly agree with the Imperial Advisor's words!"
I have a villa nearby, with peach blossoms everywhere, a beautiful place, perfect for drinking and chatting.
"If Grand Preceptor Chen Mu doesn't mind, then come with me."
"Very well, please lead the way, Chief Tianlong!"
Duan Tianlong and Chen Mu were kindred spirits and hit it off immediately. Without even asking Su Miaoyin's opinion, Duan Tianlong directly controlled the flying shuttle to carry Su Miaoyin, and the three of them and the beast soared into the sky and disappeared into the night sky.
On the way, Chen Mu tossed a bottle of Cell Repair Potion to Su Miaoyin Su Miaoyin help her recover from her injuries.
When Su Miaoyin first saw the Talisman Medicine, she was reluctant to drink it. However, Duan Tianlong, being knowledgeable, persuaded her to drink the Cell Repair Potion.
After Su Miaoyin drank the Cell Repair Potion, her injuries were completely healed in a short time. Although her Spiritual Power had not yet recovered, the powerful effect had already greatly surprised Duan Tianlong.
"Master Chen Mu, do you sell this kind of medicine to the public?"
Although Duan Tianlong had heard of the Chen Kingdom's developed commerce, the distance between You Province and Chen Kingdom was too great, making it difficult for the two to establish trade relations. Therefore, he had never gone into the depths to understand what Chen Kingdom was actually selling.
"We currently have a limited quantity of Talisman Medicine that can be effective against those below the Core Formation Realm for sale to the public."
As for Talisman Medicine those at the Core Formation Realm or above, they are currently only used by our Chen Kingdom, and trade with them is basically not open.
Chen Mu shook his head and said with a smile.
"However, if your Heavenly Dragon Society needs it, I should be able to spare a batch."
After all, for our Chen Kingdom, your strength can also alleviate our pressure.
"That's wonderful! From this perspective, there are actually many areas where we can cooperate."
"No rush, let's talk slowly over drinks once we get to our destination."
Duan Tianlong laughed heartily and accelerated the shuttle, while Chen Mu followed steadily behind in his spaceship, completely unfazed.
Soon, a giant shuttle and a spaceship flew to the top of a towering cliff.
Beside the cliff stands an exquisite building, protected by a powerful array that keeps it pristine and untouched by the surrounding mountain forest.
"This is one of my temporary palaces. Although it's not exactly a paradise, the scenery is quite nice."
I still have a few jars of fine wine here, which would be perfect for entertaining Brother Chen Mu.
Duan Tianlong has a forthright personality and speaks his mind directly, which suits Chen Mu's taste very well.
The two descended directly to the top floor, put away their flying magical artifacts, and sat down cross-legged.
" Miaoyin, my wine is stored in the underground wine cellar."
Go get it for me, I want to have a good drink with Brother Chen Mu, haha...
Su Miaoyin nodded and went straight downstairs, leaving Chen Mu and Duan Tianlong upstairs.
" Little White, I'm having serious business with the Tianlong Chief, so don't cause trouble here. Go play by yourself! Remember not to go too far."
Seeing that Little White was constantly looking around curiously, Chen Mu simply let her go out to play, lest she become restless here.
"Alright, Father, I'm off then."
Little White had no objections and vanished in a flash.
Hearing Little White call Chen Mu" father," Duan Tianlong glanced at Little White in surprise, but he didn't ask any further questions. He organized his thoughts and continued discussing business with Chen Mu.
"Brother Chen Mu, I also know that Long Bo has issued an imperial decree summoning you to the palace to see him."
I thought you wouldn't go, but I never expected to see you in Central Province. Could it be that you really intend to enter the palace?
Long Bo is a treacherous and cunning man; this trip is likely a trap!
"But I can't refuse to go. With the full support of the Heavenly Court, the Haotian Empire has greatly increased its strength and is just looking for a reason to send troops against my Chen Kingdom."
If I don't come, Long Bo will surely accuse me, Chen Kingdom, of disrespect, and then with the army pressing in, there will be endless bloodshed!
Chen Mu sighed and said helplessly.
"So you think he won't send troops if you go?"
"He might just set a trap to kill you once you get to the palace, then claim it was because you disrespected the emperor. On someone else's turf, what right do you have?"
Duan Tianlong sneered, clearly familiar with the methods of the Haotian Imperial Family.
"Since I dare to go, I naturally have a way to save my life, Brother Tianlong, you don't need to worry about me."
Chen Mu smiled, appearing very confident.
At this moment, Su Miaoyin returned with three wine jars. She took out two jade cups and poured wine for Duan Tianlong and Chen Mu.
This wine truly lives up to its reputation as a fine wine even Duan Tianlong praised. It has a rich aroma, is potent and domineering, and once it enters the mouth, it instantly flows into every part of the body, having the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life.
"Good wine, haha! And what's good wine without good food?"
As Chen Mu spoke, he took out several packaged ingredients from his storage ring and placed them on the table.
This is beggar's chicken and Teng Snake soup. Because beggar's chicken is easy to carry, Chen Mu usually keeps a few pieces on him so he can enjoy it occasionally.
The Teng Snake Soup was prepared by Meng Hui for Chen Mu, who said it was very nourishing. However, Chen Mu didn't like the taste of Teng Snake and left it in his storage ring without eating it.
