Chapter 1076: Regaining Motivation

After waking up, Li Chuyi felt refreshed.

He hadn't slept so well for a long time.

Time seemed to have returned to when he was very young, when the Taoist priest had not yet started to train him. Every night, he would tell him some strange stories to coax him to sleep. The wonderful stories and the warmth of a kind father made his heart rich and peaceful, and he felt that he would not be afraid of any terrible things.

Because he was safe, the Taoist priest would protect him.

This feeling had not been felt for a long time. Li Chuyi couldn't remember when he began to forget this feeling. It might be when he was wandering in Mobei, or it might be the day he separated from the Taoist priest, but it didn't matter anymore.

Now he was surrounded by this strong sense of security again. The faint fragrance at the tip of his nose made him extremely attached. His mind was full of joy and satisfaction, and he was too lazy to think about anything disturbing.

He kept chasing the happiness in his dream with his eyes closed, but the clear images in his dream became annoyingly blurred when he woke up, and the sense of peace that made him not want to extricate himself also faded away. No matter how he tried to stay, he could not delay his steps.

In the end, his completely awake consciousness forced him to face the result that he hated so much - he woke up from the dream and had to face reality.

With a deep sigh of relief, Li Chuyi gave up his fruitless pursuit.

He hated the brevity of dreams and was reluctant to leave the peaceful land in his dreams, but he knew what he should do.

It has come to this day, and it is time to face some things that he has been subconsciously avoiding.

He came to Dayan for Yu Yao, but is this really the only reason?

Asking himself, Li Chuyi had to admit that Yu Yao was the main reason, but it was also a reason, the reason why he forced himself to come here. Deep down, the cause of his mother's death was actually higher than the matter of finding Yu Yao, but he always thought that he was not strong enough, so he did not dare to face it. Otherwise, he would not ask about his mother's matter while asking about Yu Yao's whereabouts, and he would not make up his mind through Li Sinian's mouth when Mu Dong came to pick him up.

All this is because he is unsure.

If the Taoist priest was with him, he would have dragged the Taoist priest to the imperial court to question Yu Wen Lao Er, and there would be no need to be so hesitant and hypocritical as a woman.

But now it is different.

After walking around the small building and seeing the smiling face of his mother on the scroll, he was determined to find out the matter clearly, and he had to find out the cause of his mother's death at the cost of his own 100 pounds of flesh to comfort her soul in heaven.

Thinking deeply, this is not only for his mother and himself, but also for Ye Zhichen.

The death of his mother has always been a knot in Ye Zhichen's heart. Aunt Qing has been guarding it for so many years and has only solved it a little with his help. If the development continues at this rate, it will be difficult for them to die of old age. Even if they are forced to stay together, they will eventually have twists and turns due to the unresolved knot, and even regret for the rest of their lives.

This is not alarmist, because Mu Xueqing and Mu Xueling are so similar. Li Chuyi had no idea at first, but after seeing the portrait, he completely understood why Ye Zhichen's eyes were so complicated every time he looked at Aunt Qing. Putting aside their temperaments, the two sisters were simply made of the same mold.

Seeing things reminds me of people, and Li Chuyi feels distressed when he thinks about Ye Zhichen's torment. He doesn't want Uncle Ye to continue like this. "Ruthless Sword Saint" is a glory in the eyes of others, but in his eyes it is unspeakable misery and desolation.

Find out the cause of his mother's death and give Ye Zhichen an explanation. Even if it can't make up for all his regrets, it can at least give him a bottom line for his missing heart, so that he can put other people in his heart again, and no longer cry in pain with the remnants of the past.

With a burning heart, Li Chuyi thought more and more that his decision was right.

He found that he was really stupid before. Maybe his strength grew too fast, which made him unconsciously accustomed to solving everything by brute force, just like a Taoist priest who looked down on all directions. However, neither his strength nor reality allowed him to do so. It would be great to kick over the dragon throne, but this was not the path he could take now. The result of pursuing it recklessly would only be a dead end, which would not only increase his troubles, but also make him unable to do anything.

The path he should take should be like when he first went to Mobei. At that time, he was not as skilled as others, and his trump card was ten thousand times worse than it is now. But at that time, he still made a good living and left a bad but loud name in Mobei. That was not only achieved by real swords and guns, but also calculated by him to take advantage of the situation.

He got in touch with the Hao family through Li Sinian, got in touch with Zhi Gelin through the Hao family, forced Yuwen Xuanli to retreat through Xiao Mutou and Hao Erye, and finally became the biggest winner of Xuanbing Hanyu. Even Hao Youxiao, the daughter of the Hao family, accidentally became his wife before he married.

Although there were pushers behind these things, his own choice was more important. Finding the right tree was the main reason for his survival. As the saying goes, the emperor is far away from the mountains. If he had taken a wrong step at the beginning, no matter how big Taixu Palace was or how ruthless the Mu family was, he would have been wiped out by the wrong person.

Now it is much better than before. Not to mention that Taixu Palace is backing him up, his legendary grandfather from the Mu family seems to be eager to recognize him. Not to mention how much secrets old man Mu knows, even if he doesn't know anything, as long as he recognizes this grandfather, he will be considered a member of the Mu family.

With the influence of the Mu family, he can not only thrive in the imperial capital, but also try to confront Yuwen Tailuo. It is true that the old emperor is the lord of Dayan, but the Mu family is not bad either. From Mu Dong's attitude, he can feel the strange relationship between the Mu family and the Yuwen royal family. Under the surface respect is the arrogance of being equal. If there is anyone in Dayan that can make the old emperor afraid, it is undoubtedly the Mu family.

Besides, the old emperor may not kill him. He wanted to capture him alive several times. He estimated that the old emperor should be similar to old man Mu and also had the idea of ​​recognizing his relatives.

Whether it is a conscience awakening or regrets in old age, if the old emperor really has this idea, it is not impossible to consider it. Recognize him as the emperor father in exchange for the cause of his mother's death. Even if it is false, he can continue to investigate by looking for clues.

When the truth is found out, as long as the death of his mother is really related to Yuwen Tailuo, then he will turn against him. Anyway, from beginning to end, he only has his mother in his heart, and never has a father.

More importantly, with the help of the Mu family and Yuwen Group, it should be easier to find out Yu Yao's whereabouts. If Yu Yao is really in danger of life and death, he will come out and take advantage of others' power, ah, the fox borrows the tiger's power, he doesn't believe that anyone dares to touch her hair!

In the final analysis, he is small and weak, and it is not his style to push forward head-on, nor is it what he can do. It is the right way to use a tiger skin as a banner to bully people.

It's ridiculous that he was thinking about how to break into the black prison of the Supervisory Department before. Now think about it, it's really looking for death. No wonder the Seven Days Cicada laughed at him.

These things are actually easy to think about, but he has always had a knot in his heart and didn't want to think about it. Once he figured it out, all kinds of inspiration came.

He even wondered if the old emperor would go crazy and let him be the emperor. At that time, he would mess around and destroy Dayan. Wouldn't it be considered a place in history?

If that were the case, would the old man Baijie have to bring the heroes from all over the country to come here with banners, gongs and drums, and kneel down to thank them?

The more Li Chuyi thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Full of energy, he suddenly opened his eyes and turned over to sit up. Just as he was about to turn around and jump off the bed, he was shocked by a glance and grabbed the hilt of the Yazi sword with his backhand.

The sword was not unsheathed, and Li Chuyi looked at the old man sitting on the embroidered stool with vigilance.

The tiger eyes and angry eyebrows, a mouth full of short beard, and bulging muscles did not look like an old man at all. He was not a good person at first glance.

But the strange thing was that the other party's old face, which was intimidating without anger, was now incompatible with gentleness, and his clear old eyes were full of excitement and complexity. When he saw that he had discovered him, he couldn't help but stand up to greet him, but as soon as his buttocks left the stool, he opened his mouth and sat back, saying nothing, just looking at him without blinking.

With a flash of his eyes, Li Chuyi guessed who this person was. He put down the hand holding the hilt of the sword, and without pretending to be a stool, he just sat cross-legged on the spot.

"Are you here?"

Mu Fangli was slightly startled. He had thought of many opening remarks, but he didn't expect Li Chuyi to greet him like this, as if he had met an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.

But then, he became excited, because Li Chuyi didn't get angry, nor did he treat him coldly, which should be considered a good opening.

To be honest, he had been struggling with how to start the first sentence with his grandson, whom he had never met, until Li Chuyi spoke, he didn't get a result. Li Chuyi's simple two words also helped him out.

There were thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say, but when the words came to his lips, Mu Fangli only uttered two words: "Just arrived."

He resisted rolling his eyes, and the fat boy didn't know how to continue. After thinking about it, he simply let it go and said directly: "Why don't you wake me up?"

Mu Fangli breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Li Chuyi would not say anything after finishing a sentence. He smiled slightly when he heard it, and said kindly: "Seeing that you are sleeping deeply, I can't bear to wake you up. Anyway, there is nothing to do, so I will just wait for you to wake up."

After a pause, he asked cautiously: "Did you sleep enough? Did you sleep well?"

"Very well, I haven't had such a good sleep for a long time."

Li Chuyi nodded sincerely, and then smiled and asked with a frown: "I slept here without your permission. You won't be angry, right? But don't worry, I slept, but I didn't sleep next to the bed. There is always a layer between us. You have no reason to be angry!"

As he said this, the Dao Yuan on his body appeared, and he looked very proud.

He was still looking for traces of his daughter between Li Chuyi's eyebrows, but when he heard what Li Chuyi said, Mu Fangli's eyes suddenly turned red, and he felt indescribable pain and pity in his heart. I wanted to get up and hug him, but I didn't dare to do so, fearing that it would be too reckless and would scare him.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly with a little trembling, and an extremely gentle smile bloomed on Mu Fangli's old face.

"Child, this is your home, and this house is your mother's boudoir before she got married. You can sleep whenever you want, and no one will blame you. Not to mention here, the entire Mu family and even the entire Dayan, as long as you like a place, you can regard it as yours, as long as you are happy!"

"Is that so, old man, you are quite powerful, and your tone is almost catching up with my stinky old man!"

Li Chuyi smiled with admiration.

"But how can this place become my home? Old man, you are confused, you recognize anyone as your relative? You don't need to drop blood to recognize your relative, or use your Yan technique to trace the origin or something?"

"Haha, there's no need for that. You are my grandson! If you don't believe me, you can look at the golden bell on your chest. That is your mother's life magic weapon. No one can touch it except her and you, not even me! That is your token!" Mu Fangli pointed at Li Chuyi's chest, with bitterness and reminiscence flashing in his smiling eyes.

"What gold... I... I'm a Taoist priest, when did this come here?"
