Chapter 364 express statement

   "Li Yunyao, deputy head of Tianyuan Shenwumen, led a team to visit."

   After saying this, Xingying stopped immediately, and her expression was obviously cautious.

   At the same time, he was secretly looking at Li Mi.

   seems to be waiting for his instructions on the matter.

   "The deputy head of the Shenwu Sect is here."

  Li Mi listened, but smiled: "Sure enough, you will know how to work hard only when you lose your support. If I have been pointing at you, she may be the limit of what she can achieve now."

   Xingying lowered her head and waited patiently.

  At this moment, she...

   Or almost everyone in the Star Martial Temple is worried.

  Worried whether their Hall Master would leave the Star Martial Temple directly and return to Tianyuan.

   After all, Tianyuan and Taibai are his hometown.

  There are his parents, relatives, and friends.

  That piece of land is the place where he was born and raised.

   "Let her come."

  Li Mu said: "Zhang Dongwang, let him wait."

"yes."

   Xingying immediately agreed.

  But the worry in my heart is even more serious.

  From the fact that Li Mi chose to meet Li Yunyao first instead of Zhang Dongwang, the imperial emissary who brought about a huge crisis, one can tell which is more important in his mind.

  At this time, there were bursts of excited sounds at the door.

   "Hall Master."

   "Hall Master, you are finally back."

   "It's great, I knew it. With the divine power of the Palace Master, the world is so big that I can go there."

   It was Shi Shihu, Xinghui, Xie Longcheng and others.

"Um."

  Li Mi responded: "Just now Xingying has roughly told me about the Xingwu Temple. You have done a good job in the past month or so."

   "It all depends on the master's control and guidance of the overall situation."

  Shi Shihu and others bowed and saluted at the same time.

   "Let's go, the Star Martial Temple can operate according to this model."

   Li Mudao.

   Immediately afterwards, he thought of something: "Two hours later, let Lin Langya come to see me."

"yes."

  Shi Shihu and the others responded respectfully and retreated.

  They came here because they wanted to report to Li Mu the big and small matters of the Xingwu Temple for more than a month, as well as some major events that required him to make decisions.

   But at present, the Palace Master has already heard Xingying's report, and there is no new order, so they naturally can't disturb his practice for a little matter.

  Especially Shishihu, who knows Li Mi best. He is very clear about the significance of Star Martial Temple to him.

  An institution for obtaining spiritual resources.

   There may be other factors involved, such as inheriting his martial arts, developing into a holy place, improving local people's livelihood, and so on.

   But these goals are secondary.

  The core of everything must serve the purpose of helping his practice.

   In this regard, Shi Shihu, Xie Longcheng and others are also very supportive.

  In such a world that gathers thousands of great powers in one body, only when Li Mi is strong can the Star Martial Temple usher in a broader space for development.

  So they will do their best to work towards this goal.

   Try not to disturb the Hall Master if you can.

  Of course, reports related to some major events and major expenditures are naturally indispensable.

  No trust in Li Mi.

   Rather, they have to figure it out for themselves.

  Only in this way can the Star Martial Temple develop in this land for a long time.

  In this way, the warrior system can get rid of the fate of being a supplement to the star refiner system and serving as reconnaissance cannon fodder.

  …

  Shi Shihu and others quickly retreated, and Li Mi was sitting in the courtyard on a wooden rattan chair under a large parasol, quietly flipping through a report on infrastructure construction around Hualong Mountain.

   Not long after, Xingying stepped into the courtyard with a beautiful figure.

   It was Li Yunyao.

   It has only been more than a year since I saw her, but the personality of this girl whose real age is only 20 years old has undergone tremendous changes.

  Less of the original youthful and lively, innocent and cute, and more mature and steady that does not match her age.

but…

   This kind of maturity and stability was instantly broken by Li Mi's words.

"coming."

  Li Mi smiled and put down the report: "Sit down."

   Li Yunyao, who had a serious face at first, seemed to want to "invoke the teacher to inquire about the crime", and Li Yunyao's eyes turned red, and a trace of mist soon emerged from it.

   But then she thought of something again, and forcibly pushed back the mist in her eyes.

   Even turned his head, not wanting to look at him.

   Obviously mad at him.

  Li Mi glanced at Xingying.

  She immediately saluted with interest and retreated.

   Soon, only Li Mi and Li Yunyao were left in the courtyard.

   "Let me tell you a story."

  Li Mi didn't turn her head away in greeting, Li Yunyao, who was standing stubbornly, said calmly: "There was once a person, when he was fifteen years old, his parents both died of illness. From that day on, he suddenly realized that life is so fragile. He thought of many ways to change this situation, but he was unable to change it. In the end, he chose martial arts. He wanted to use martial arts to change the frailty of life. By practicing martial arts, he promoted the evolution of life. How far can this kind of life evolve?"

  Li Yunyao was startled.

   "But at that time, he didn't have a famous teacher to teach him, and he had never been exposed to martial arts. All he had was an unwilling blood and a tenacious will. He relied on blood and sweat ten times that of ordinary people. When others were sleeping, he was practicing martial arts. When others woke up to work, he was practicing martial arts. When others were taking their lunch break, he was practicing martial arts.

  Li Mi said calmly: "Day after day, year after year, regardless of the continuous rain in spring, the scorching summer, the howling autumn wind, the heavy snow, and the freezing weather, he searched for information, rummaged through ancient books, visited martial arts masters, walked through fields, climbed mountains, crossed rivers, went deep into ancient forests, fought wolves, tore tigers and leopards with his hands, and hunted pigs and bears.

  He looked at Li Yunyao: "Sixteen years are like a day, until Dan Jin."

  Li Yunyao heard what Li Mi said earlier, and thought it was the growth history of a peerless martial sage, but when she heard that after sixteen years of painstaking practice, this man had only cultivated alchemy, she couldn't help but almost burst out laughing.

only…

   Li Mi didn't smile.

   just looked at her so calmly.

  Li Yunyao felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him, so she restrained her expression.

   But then, she thought carefully...

  Sixteen years as one day!

  Sixteen years!

  Who can persevere for sixteen years in such an environment as harsh as an ascetic monk! ?

  And if someone can persevere in this harsh environment for 16 years, what kind of firm goal and will should they have?

  "In the real world, there is no heavenly reward for hard work, and in the real world, there is no great weapon to avoid success. Sixteen years of hard training has left him with countless hidden dangers and hidden injuries. At the age of 31, his body has collapsed and he is on the verge of death. Only by holding Qi Chengdan and relying on the strength of the Hunyuan Dan can he regain the vitality lost over the years, so that his life that yearns for evolution will not come to an end at the age of 31."

   Li Mudao.

  Hearing this, Li Yunyao couldn't help being silent.

  Thirty-one years old.

  In order to let life evolve, I chose martial arts, and the result...

  At only thirty-one years old, his body has been completely exhausted.

this…

what is this?

   Putting the cart before the horse?

   "Then he..."

  Li Yunyao opened her mouth, wanting to ask.

   Li Mi also answered her question neatly.

"he died."

  The tone is so calm that it seems to be telling a story.

   "At the moment of Baodan, the hidden danger broke out, and the qi and blood went against the chaos and died."

"ah!?"

  Li Yunyao couldn't help but exclaimed.

   "You said, if... let him come back to life again... will he regret his choice and continue to embark on this evolutionary path that may still fail and die in the future?"

  Li Mi looked at Li Yunyao and asked, "Even... in this life, he has a mother, older sister, younger sister, relatives and friends..."

  Li Yunyao was stunned, as if realizing something, her face suddenly turned pale, and her delicate body couldn't help trembling slightly.

   "伱..."

  Li Mi didn't speak any more, but calmly picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and tasted it quietly.

   As for what he tasted...

   There is nothing mysterious.

   Tea is tea.

   For him, a thirst quencher.

  It is no different from water and beverages.

  The reason for drinking tea...

   Simply because there is tea on the table.

convenient.

   Li Yunyao, who couldn't stop trembling slightly, looked at Li Mi who was sitting quietly, but her age and appearance had undergone obvious changes. Suddenly, her heart was filled with an unspeakable sadness.

  This kind of sadness made her unable to control the emotions in her heart, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

  She just looked at Li Mi like this, at this moment, she was so weak and helpless.

  Li Mi didn't comfort her or persuade her, just waited like this.

   Wait for her to come out of this emotion by herself.

  No matter how good the relationship is, one ultimate topic cannot be avoided—birth, old age, sickness and death.

  Children watch their parents die.

  Wife will watch husband die.

  Family and friends will watch best friends die.

  In this world, nothing is immortal.

  In this world, nothing is eternal.

  When this kind of thing really happens, the only thing people can do is learn to accept it.

  Although Li Mi practiced martial arts to avoid this kind of thing from happening, but...

  He is also ready to face and accept all this at any time.

  The dead silence in the field lasted for several minutes.

   Tears kept flowing, and Li Yunyao, who was in great joy and sorrow, suddenly swayed and fell down powerlessly.

  Seeing this, Li Mi stood up, reached out to catch her, and helped her up.

  Li Yunyao looked up at him, seeing this figure whose appearance had changed, but whose aura was exactly the same as the one in her mind, her eyes were clouded with tears.

"elder brother…"

  She cried unconsciously.

"Um."

   Li Mi also responded, stroking her hair gently.

"elder brother!"

  The next moment, Li Yunyao couldn't stop the sadness in her heart anymore, she threw herself on Li Mi's body and burst into tears.

   "Woooooooooooooo..."

she knows…

  Her elder brother, Li Mi, is gone.
