Seeing Li Mu's unhappy face, Xu Pingru puffed and laughed.
"Brother Li, you've wronged me, it was due to the failure of the marriage invitations that I had the chance to ask for it, otherwise, the jade wrench is someone's girl's dowry, and Zhang You Cai can't go back on his word."
Li Mu let out an oh-so-slight sound, thinking that the chick's words made some sense, could it be that this was what she was planning to do.
Stirring up the embroidered ball recruitment first, and then asking for the trigger finger, in that case, he might have misjudged her.
He took over the jade trigger and scrutinized it for a moment.
It was found that it was indeed a good thing, crystalline in body, emitting a coldness, and near it, one felt soothed physically and mentally.
Playing with it for a while, Li Mu returned the jade trigger finger to Xu Pingru.
"Miss Xu, the jade trigger finger has arrived, I wonder what treasures the other offerings are, can you tell me a little bit about them?"
Xu Pingru put the jade trigger finger away.
"Brother Li don't be anxious, I'll tell you one thing at a time, I'll tell you all together now, I'm afraid you won't be able to remember it then, we'll say the next thing when we've found the same."
Li Mu looked at her seriously and questioned, "You're not thinking now, are you, thinking the same, saying the same?"
Xu Pingru giggled, "See what Brother Li said, am I that unreliable?"
Reimu nodded, "It looks quite similar now."
Xu Pingru smiled and waved her hand, "Alright, don't tease me, I'll tell you about the second treasure now!"
Li Mu made a please gesture, indicating that he was all ears.
Xu Pingru laughed, "The second treasure is an Orchid Heart Hairpin, with an orchid carved on the head of the hairpin, inserted on the head, it can emit a light orchid fragrance, which is pleasing to the eyes and soothing to the mind."
Greeting Li Mu's puzzled gaze, Xu Pingru continued to explain, "Don't underestimate this treasure, it's a rare and good thing, it can detoxify a hundred poisons, so as long as you carry it, you won't be victimized by poisonous fog or miasma."
Feeling a bit confused, Li Mu broke his fingers and said, "Jade trigger finger, orchid heart hairpin, how come they are all women's ornaments, are you sure that all these things are offerings and not your dowry?"
Xu Pingru was amused again, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
"Brother Li, don't always make me laugh, I do need these for the offering, I'm not lying, they all happen to be girly ornaments, they don't have any special significance!"
Li Mu nodded, his mouth still muttering, "Why are the offerings a jade trigger finger and an orchid heart hairpin, it doesn't make sense?"
"And what should the sacrifice be?"
"Shouldn't the sacrifices be pig's head, dog's blood, bird's claws, boy and girl or whatever, why use a woman's jewelry, don't get it, really don't get it!"
Xu Pingru misled him from the sidelines and deliberately said, "Perhaps, the person who built the altar was a woman, and she didn't like to use those disgusting things as sacrifices, but preferred to use women's ornaments as sacrifices."
Li Mu felt that there were a few things that made sense, there were all sorts of offerings, how could they be all the same.
A pig's head may not be suitable for all occasions.
Perhaps the builder of this altar was one of those who had a cleanliness fetish, preferring female makeup to livestock.
He hadn't seen that so-called altar and knew nothing about the real situation, so for now he could only choose to believe Xu Pingru.
Just, why does it feel like this girl is a bit naughty?
It's probably just an illusion, people are gentle and elegant young ladies, how can they be that kind of skimpy woman.
Li Mu decided that he would continue to work with the other side.
"What Miss Xu said has some truth to it, maybe I'm generalizing, please continue down the line, how should we get the Orchid Heart Hairpin?"
Xu Pingru breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the other party was really not good at cheating, and that she would have to be more careful in the future, or else, sooner or later, she would be seen through by him.
Thinking of this, he weighed his words and said in a serious manner, "This Orchid Heart Hairpin is the masterpiece of Meng Ze Continent's top forging master, Master Zixin."
"Master Zixin?"
"Yes, Master Zixin is the most outstanding jewelry artisan in the Meng Ze Continent, having created countless treasures, only this Orchid Heart Hairpin can be described as a superb product."
"Well, you go on."
"Master Zi treats it like the most precious treasure and has always refused to sell it, leaving countless acquirers in awe!"
"That includes you, doesn't it?"
Xu Pingru hurriedly explained, "Not including me!"
Saying this, stealing a glance at Li Mu, seeing the latter's picture of an undeniable expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, did you hear me clearly?"
"Listen carefully, I'll inquire, is that Master Zee still alive?"
Xu Pingru didn't understand why he was asking this question and nodded, "Of course I'm alive, Master Zi's body is very good, why is Brother Li asking this?"
Li Mu laughed, "As long as you are still alive, this matter is simple, just go and beg Master Zi to build another one."
Xu Pingru shook her head and said, "No, it has to be that one."
Li Mu frowned, "As long as it's an Orchid Heart Hairpin, how would the altar know which one it is, wouldn't it be fine if you asked Master Zi to rebuild one exactly like that one?"
Xu Pingru still shook her head, "No good, just that one is the best, the other Orchid Heart Hairpins, none of them can catch up to that one."
Reimu grew suspicious again and looked at her in disbelief.
"I didn't get why it had to be that one, did the altar need it or did you want it?"
Xu Pingru hurriedly defended, "Of course it's needed for the altar, the offering must be a treasure, only that one can be called a treasure, the other Orchid Heart Hairpins are just ornaments, not treasures."
Li Mu nodded and casually said, "I hear you, eh, why are you so nervous?"
"I... I didn't... I got a little anxious when Brother Li was always questioning me."
The latter glanced at Xu Pingru, "Alright! Let's do as you say, we'll take that one, you go on, how should we get it?"
Xu Pingru smiled sweetly, "For the rest of the matter, please ask Brother Li, I've tried all kinds of ways, and I've never been able to get what I want, I don't have any good suggestions, does Brother Li have any ideas?"
Instead of answering her question, Li Mu said to her, "Tell me Master Zi's address and I'll think of something."
Xu Pingru happily agreed and told him the address of Master Zixin's residence, and then, got up to take her leave.
Reimu stood up and said to her, "I'll give you a ride!"
Xu Pingru responded politely, "Big Brother Li stay back, I live nearby, no need to send."
Li Mu laughed, "That won't do, coming is a guest, where is the reason not to send."
Xu Pingru no longer insisted, and several people walked out of the room together.
The crowd was still waiting to give her a ride.
Xu Pingru laughed, "You all must stay back, if you send any more you will enter my house."
Li Mu froze for a moment and subconsciously said, "Your house?"
Then he realized and asked in surprise, "Could you be living next door to me?"
Xu Pingru nodded.
Liamu let out a harrumph, "That's a pretty close neighborhood you've got here."
He smiled and shook his head, and when he turned around, he saw that at the door of the room diagonally across from him, Zhou Tian and Gao Song were standing outside the door, nodding and greeting this way.
Li Mu pointed at them and asked, "What, did the two of them move here too?"
Xu Pingru explained, "I asked them to stay and help out, if Big Brother Li has any errand work, he can arrange for them to do it, they can definitely get it done."
Li Mu waved his hand and said with some displeasure, "I have very little to do, there's no errand work, you let them rest! I'm going back to the house, don't bother me without anything important, I need to rest."
With that, he turned with his woman and went into the house, immediately closing the door tightly.
Xu Pingru muttered a few words of dissatisfaction, signaling Zhou Tian and the two of them to retreat, and she herself entered the house, closing the door to her room.
After Li Mu entered the house, Lin Wan hurriedly asked, "Hubby, did the embroidered ball hit you?"
Little Brother Li shushed and said quietly, "Your husband is so smart, he can still be hit by that thing, you guys didn't see it, I burst the embroidery ball, the pieces of cloth floated everywhere, a lot of lords picked it up, and are lining up to be the groom!"
The women covered their mouths and snickered, Lin Wan snapped, "You, you're not in shape again, what's going on, tell us about it."
Li Mu recounted the situation, and the three women giggled after hearing it.
Sister-in-law Hong laughed daintily, "Auntie is right, a group of groomsmen did appear, and in this situation today, Zhang Youcai's father and daughter must be cursing their mother."
"Scolding the mother is also scolding her, it has nothing to do with me, that girl teases people so much, it's deserved to be scolded!"
Lin Wan glared at him and complained, "People's good marriage invitations have been stirred up by you guys, why can't you live in peace wherever you go!"
Li Mu defended unconvincingly, "I can't be blamed for this, it's all because of that girl, that father and daughter will only resent her, they won't blame me."
Sister-in-law Hong said, "Auntie is right, it's all because that girl is messing up, if she doesn't mess up, with Auntie's skill, she will definitely be able to make Gao Song the groom."
Li Mu shook his head and casually said, "Gao Song can't be the groom, it can only be Zhou Tian to be the groom."
Sister-in-law Hong was puzzled and asked, "Auntie, isn't the groom Gao Song, why has he become Zhou Tian?"
Li Mu laughed badly and said, "I originally intended to smash Zhou Tian, Gao Song wood dull not much fun, smash Zhou genius is more fun, that kid ghost very much, hide far away, but run even farther is useless."
The women snickered, Lin Wan disliked her husband and snapped, "You, you're just a bad bag, I'm asking you, the jade wrench has arrived, what about that orchid heart hairpin, and what she said, is it true or not?"
"True shit, that bitch, she's probably making fun of me!"
"Is this another demonic moth?"
"Definitely, the dead girl asked me to get the Orchid Heart Hairpin, I guess the next treasure should be the Embroidered Shoes, I counted on it, she's pounding pickups into herself!"
Shen Xingyue grunted and said in dissatisfaction, "Jade trigger finger, orchid heart hairpin, bah, what a bullshit offering, it's just what she wants, she's making it difficult for Brother Mu!"
Li Mu immediately agreed, "Star Moon is right, it's 80% that she doesn't have good intentions, everyone, why don't we kidnap her! Exchange her with the Bright Wheel Sect for mica crystals, what do you guys think?"
Lin Wan looked at him with a smirk.
Li Mu was oblivious and continued, "She lives next door to us now, it's convenient to kidnap her, let's do it tonight..."
