Great Li Martial God

However, Cang Yinyue merely glanced indifferently toward Li Musheng without saying anything.

The air was silent for a moment. Finally, she spoke somewhat reluctantly, "Rest assured, whether or not you're the real Seventh Prince, I will do my utmost to ensure your safety."

Li Musheng shrugged and smiled, "That's not what I meant. I just think that if I enthusiastically travel all the way to Shangyang City only to find out I'm not a prince, wouldn't that be somewhat embarrassing?"

Hearing this, Cang Yinyue snorted coldly, "I understand what you mean. If I really made a mistake, I'll compensate you with an additional hundred taels of silver as your travel expenses for this trip."

Li Musheng immediately gave a beaming smile and raised his thumb in praise, "Miss Cang is generous, truly worthy of being an expert from the Hidden Intelligence Bureau."

Cang Yinyue kept a straight face, crossing her arms, "Don't think that just because you've entered the martial Dao Innate Realm, you can be careless. Innate experts can indeed move unhindered in Shun'an City, but in all of Great Li, they're not worth mentioning at all."

Saying this, she sighed lightly, "I know you must have had some fortuitous encounters. Otherwise, even if a small martial arts school in Shun'an City exhausted all its wealth, it would be difficult to produce an Innate expert."

"But there are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. When you reach Shangyang City, you'll understand that in this world, there are always astonishingly talented geniuses whom you can't hope to match."

Li Musheng poked at the fire with a wooden stick, making the campfire before him burn more brightly, and asked, "For example?"

"I've never left Shun'an City and don't know much about the outside world. Miss Cang, please tell me more. I love hearing about these things." Cang Yinyue shook her head and sneered coldly, "There's no benefit in me telling you more. When the time comes, you'll understand after seeing it with your own eyes."

"However, I can tell you this: the 'Seventh Prince' currently imprisoned in the heavenly prison is an existence with heaven-sent talent. He not only possesses the ability to govern the world, but his martial Dao talent is beyond the reach of countless people. Before this incident occurred, he was even one of the princes most likely to ascend to the position of Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Li Musheng was stunned, then said with some regret, "That's truly unfortunate. Such an excellent talent being imprisoned is absolutely a loss for the Great Li Dynasty."

Cang Yinyue glanced at Li Musheng. A trace of inexplicable anger flashed through her eyes as she suddenly said sternly, "In my eyes, you are the real Seventh Prince. If he's released, how will you handle yourself then?"

"Those things that originally belonged to you, he's taken away for twenty years. How many twenty-year periods do you have to lose?"

Saying this, Cang Yinyue seemed to realize her emotions were somewhat agitated. She paused and said, "Taking you back to Shangyang City is just my duty. As for everything afterward, you'll have to rely on yourself. Otherwise, in a place like the imperial capital, you could very well be devoured until not even bone fragments remain."

Li Musheng looked at Cang Yinyue, who had suddenly become angry for some reason, and frowned.

Why was this young lady getting more worked up as she spoke?

He didn't seem to have said he would let himself be slaughtered, did he?

But thinking carefully, Li Musheng realized that she actually didn't have any malicious intent.

At this time, after Cang Yinyue finished speaking, she simply closed her eyes directly and no longer paid attention to Li Musheng.

Seeing this, Li Musheng grumbled inwardly, "She swears she believes I'm the Seventh Prince, but this is her attitude? Is this how she treats a Great Li prince?"

Thinking this, he reached into his bosom and suddenly spoke, "Miss Cang, during that half incense stick's time you left in Shun'an City today, did you go to the Yu Family Martial Arts School?"

Hearing this, Cang Yinyue suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp as she looked at Li Musheng, "You followed me?"

But soon, she shook her head again and muttered to herself, "Impossible. If you had followed, I couldn't have failed to notice."

Li Musheng spread his hands and said, "I didn't follow you, but I guess you definitely went to the Yu Family Martial Arts School and took from old man Yu the item that the Seven Villains of Zha River wanted."

"How can you tell?" Cang Yinyue asked.

"Because before today, you not only tracked me, you also tracked the Seven Villains of Zha River, so you know what their objective was."

Li Musheng reached into his bosom, pulled out a brown wooden box carved with designs on six sides, and held it in his hand, playing with it curiously.

"If you didn't care about the item in old man Yu's hands, naturally there wouldn't have been that half incense stick's time. Since there was that time, it means this item should be quite important in your eyes."

At this time, Cang Yinyue's expression had already changed. She reached toward her bundle to search. The object that had originally been there was now completely empty.

Cang Yinyue gradually stood up straight from leaning against the tree. Her phoenix eyes reflected the campfire before Li Musheng.

"When did you steal it?" Cang Yinyue spoke in a calm voice.

As her words fell, her entire slender figure vanished from the dusk.

In the dim light, there was only a burst of rapid wind that passed by, causing the burning campfire to sway continuously.

When Cang Yinyue revealed her figure again, she had already appeared behind Li Musheng.

One hand reached for the six-sided wooden box in Li Musheng's hand, while the other hand was raised high. Her hand, as white and smooth as jade, formed a hand blade chopping toward the back of Li Musheng's neck.

"You're not planning to knock me out and tie me up to take to Shangyang City, are you?"

Li Musheng's voice sounded beside Cang Yinyue's ear.

Her pupils immediately widened. Only then did she realize in shock that all her actions had stopped in mid-air. At some unknown time, her entire person had already become unable to move.

"How... how did you do this?"

Cang Yinyue opened her mouth and discovered she could still speak.

"Just an acupoint sealing technique. Who told you to suddenly appear and startle me?"

Li Musheng chuckled. Looking at Cang Yinyue who was so close, his heart stirred and he suddenly reached out to remove the veil from her face.

"Don't!"

Cang Yinyue urgently tried to stop him.

But Li Musheng didn't stop his hand, saying, "Don't have such feudal and archaic thoughts. A beautiful appearance is a gift from heaven. You should learn to share it. Hiding it away and only secretly looking at it yourself, what's the point?"

However, when Li Musheng had lifted Cang Yinyue's veil halfway, he hurriedly put it back on.

At this time, Cang Yinyue's eyes had already turned red, her gaze staring at Li Musheng with extreme fury.

"Alright, look at you getting upset. I won't look anymore, okay?"

After carefully putting the veil back on for her, Li Musheng withdrew his palm.

However, a barely perceptible trace of shame still appeared in his eyes.

His gaze lingered on the campfire before him for a while before Li Musheng continued to lower his head and fiddle with the wooden box in his hands.

At this time, Cang Yinyue closed her eyes, then slowly opened them. Taking a deep breath, she asked, "What acupoint sealing technique was that just now? Why was it so fast?"

Li Musheng replied without turning his head, "This is called the Sunflower Acupoint Sealing Hand. However, you probably haven't heard of it, because this is a martial art I created myself."
