After their encounter with the Great Liang, the foreign ministers had roughly grasped the strength of the other side, and now they had all settled down.
This is one of the tricks they like to pull every time they come.
No wonder the tribute missions set their peak outside the capital. If a fight broke out in the capital, who knows how many palaces would be destroyed.
Su Mu was certain that if a fight broke out inside the palace, even if these officials couldn't win, they would definitely use their Law Treasure weapons to destroy as many palaces as possible.
I don't know if I've ever suffered a similar loss before, which is why I changed the location.
"Is the show over?"
"Okay, let's go."
Yu Guyue came here to watch these guys fight, to broaden her horizons, so that she could be better prepared if she ever had to fight someone in the future.
But now that I've finished watching it, there's no need to linger any longer.
Looking at these court officials and foreign dignitaries enjoying themselves so harmoniously, there's really nothing to see.
Seeing this, Su Mu nodded in agreement and then left.
Upon returning to the palace, Su Mu did not go directly back to the courtyard. Instead, she strolled along the street, bought a lot of food, and then leisurely returned to the courtyard.
Lin Hongbin was sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard, looking at the two people who had returned with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
" Mr. Su, could you please let me know when you leave?"
In order to achieve Perfect Foundation Establishment, he still thinks about staying by Su Mu's side as much as possible, hoping to comprehend it sooner.
When he came out of the side courtyard, both of them were gone. After inquiring, he learned that Su Mu and Yu Guyue had left the city together.
Su Mu felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, "I just went out to take care of some errands. I'll try to take you with me in the future."
After all, this person cost three million Spirit Stone, so Su Mu felt he should take care of them a little and keep them by his side. As for whether the other person could comprehend anything on their own, that was entirely up to their own destiny.
Anyway, he didn't understand what the other person was trying to comprehend.
As Su Mu spoke, she placed the groceries she had just bought on the table, "Would you like something to eat?"
He just saw a lot of delicious-looking snacks on the street and bought quite a few.
Lin Hongbin shook his head; he had no appetite for these things right now.
Su Mu didn't mind and started to savor the food. Everything was delicious and had its own unique flavor. The only downside was that after eating so much here, Su Mu felt that her palate had become craving something better once she got back home.
Huh?
In a secluded corner of Great Liang, the Ancestor Wuwang, who was plotting something, suddenly paused his clapping, as if he had figured something out.
Suddenly his expression changed, and he abruptly raised his head to look at the horizon.
He seemed to see something vaguely, then looked up at the sky and laughed loudly.
"The moon Taiyin, yet the sun is not visible; yin prevails over yang!"
Upon hearing this, the Ancestor Wuwang transformed into a beam of light and swiftly flew away into the distance, his destination being the Wasteland of Withered Bones.
As night fell, the moon cast its pale Taiyin, which was rather cold but gave people a sense of comfort.
Su Mu was holding a flask of wine when he looked up at the night sky. The moon seemed unusually brighter tonight, even though it wasn't a full moon. Why was the moonlight so much brighter than usual?
" The Taiyin is most beautiful during a full moon."
Lin Hongbin also raised his head, looked at the moonlight in the night sky, and murmured to himself.
Su Mu shook his head upon hearing this, "No, a waning moon has its own beauty; it doesn't have to be a full moon to be beautiful."
"Isn't a full moon the only one that looks beautiful?" Lin Hongbin instinctively wanted to retort upon hearing this.
He has always pursued Perfect Foundation Establishment, and in his view, the Taiyin (lunar calendar) should be at its full moon to be considered good.
However, before he could utter these words of rebuttal, a sudden thought struck him, and he realized that Su Mu's words contained a hidden meaning.
What exactly did Su Mu mean by that? Perfect Foundation Establishment, Full Moon?
Was he giving me some kind of pointer?
Lin Hongbin suddenly felt flustered and his brows furrowed as he tried to grasp at that sliver of inspiration.
In that instant, he felt as if he had grasped something, but he always felt that he was missing that final push.
And a moment later, that last bit of inspiration vanished.
At this moment, Su Mu also glanced at Lin Hongbin. In his opinion, if he said that the crescent moon also had its own beauty, the other party should refute him.
To his surprise, the other party didn't seem to object and just listened obediently.
However, Su Mu's glance caused Lin Hongbin to be greatly shocked.
In his view, Su Mu's glance was clearly pointed, as if to say, "I've already explained it so clearly, and you still haven't grasped it?"
He had clearly grasped a sliver of understanding just now, but he couldn't quite grasp it, which made him feel both restless and deeply ashamed.
The carp spirit had mentioned it to him, and both the water ghost and the catfish spirit instantly understood Mr. Su's meaning.
But when it came to him, Mr. Su had clearly explained it so clearly, yet he still didn't understand at all.
This filled him with immense guilt, and a flicker of self-doubt arose within him. Was his level of understanding perhaps even more foolish than that of the water ghost and the catfish spirit?
"I am ashamed to admit that I failed to grasp Mr. Su's guidance; I am truly ashamed!"
At this moment, Lin Hongbin said with a face full of shame.
Su Mu opened her mouth slightly, somewhat taken aback. What was that?
Weren't we just saying, "Is the full moon more beautiful or the waning moon?"
Su Mu originally wanted to use phrases like "the crescent moon is like a hook" or "the waning moon in the morning breeze" to explain that the waning moon was indeed beautiful.
However, Lin Hongbin's sudden move completely caught Su Mu off guard. "I was telling you the crescent moon is beautiful, what are you talking to me about?"
Looking at Lin Hongbin's expression, Su Mu realized after a moment that the other man was probably overthinking things again, perhaps thinking that he had realized something?
Thinking of such a possible answer, Su Mu shook his head helplessly. These cultivators really do have wild imaginations.
But for Lin Hongbin, it meant something different; it was clearly Su Mu's disappointment that he hadn't yet grasped the meaning.
He disappointed Mr. Su!
Mr. Su
Lin Hongbin opened his mouth, wanting to plead with Su Mu not to give up on him and to give him more guidance.
However, Su Mu stood up. "I'm tired."
After saying that, Su Mu turned and went back into the house. Su Mu felt that it was better not to talk to the other person when he had figured out what they were saying. How could he know what the other person was misunderstanding!
Lin Hongbin watched Su Mu go back to the house alone, opened his mouth, his face full of bitterness, and felt that Mr. Su was disappointed in him before turning around and leaving.
In the distance, Yu Guyue also looked surprised, wondering what Su Mu had been trying to tell Lin Hongbin just now.
