Chapter 1071 - 529: Time Reincarnation (Part 3)
To the greetings of these ’acquaintances’, Chen Mu merely responded with a courteous nod, exchanging the spoils of his hunt for needed grain and supplies in town, before returning home to his mountain abode, continuing his routine of reflection on the Path of Time from dawn to dusk.
And so it went on.
Spring passed and autumn came, nearly ten years flew by unnoticed.
In Qingcheng Town below, people gradually began addressing Chen Mu as ’Master Qiu’ instead of ’Brother Qiu’.
Master Qiu, a renowned head hunter known for miles around, known for venturing alone into the depths of Qingcheng Mountain, slaying fierce tigers, killing black bears, and even dispersing a pack of over twenty wild wolves, killing eight with his own hands!
"Master Qiu."
A man in a long robe, with two servants, arrived on the mountain, stopping outside Chen Mu’s small house, and called out: "Master Qiu, I am Li Youde, here specifically to request the purchase of a top-quality tiger skin..."
Creak.
The wooden door was opened.
Chen Mu stepped out, his figure was lean, but his eyes shone with a penetrating light. He said, "Want to buy a tiger skin? For what purpose?"
"Here’s the thing, Master Liu Si from the city is celebrating his fortieth birthday in half a month, and I intend to give a top-quality tiger skin as a gift... I heard Master Qiu here has one. If you’re willing to part with it, I might put in a good word for you with Master Liu Si, and if he is pleased, he might bestow upon you an official position. Wouldn’t being a lord in the city be more pleasurable than living here on the mountain?"
Li Youde said smilingly to Chen Mu.
