I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 490: 1 The song breaks the formation and Ge’s mother wakes up.

Ge Peining was stunned and didn't understand what Li Mu meant.

Then Li Mu brought the strange bone flute to his lips.

"Twinkle twinkle little stars, how I wonder where you are……"

Li Mu was clapping the beat in his heart. Speaking of the flute, he could really play one tune, and that was the only one.

Now, all the spiritual energy of the Eight Yao Ruler has been absorbed by Hu Qingyao, and Li Mu cannot inherit anything from it.

But this kind of ordinary and even simple formation was not difficult as long as he blew the flute and thought about breaking the formation.

As for the music, it is just a carrier of the power to break the formation, and it doesn’t matter what it is specifically.

Ge Peining himself was a person with a magical body that could hear sounds, and he had also studied the Confucian music and sacrificial methods, so he was very sensitive to sounds.

I was originally thinking about how to praise my husband for his suddenly awkward performance.

Although the song is catchy, the technique is really... better not to mention it.

Just by watching, Ge Peining became a little dazed.

Dressed in blue, holding a bone flute, with an upright posture and a handsome face, every movement of Li Mu's fingers seemed to pluck Ge Peining's heartstrings.

This was the first time she had seen Li Mu like this.

Of course, this was because Ge Peining deliberately ignored the song played by Li Mu.

Just as the last note of the bone flute fell.

Along with it was the sound of porcelain breaking.

When I heard the sound, I saw a pot of pansy on the windowsill.

Before Ge's mother fell into a coma, this was her favorite flower.

The outer side of the petals is purple, while the inner core is snow-white, like ice and frost, so it is also called snow flower.

Ge Peining's previous name also came from this.

Li Mu flashed and appeared at the window, raised his hand and touched it lightly.

But whether it was the pansy itself, the flowerpot or the soil, there was not the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy.

"Jiu'er?"

Li Mu called out softly in his heart, and then he heard Jun Jiuling's impatient voice.

"That's it. The formation in the house has been broken."

"..."

Li Mu's fingertips trembled slightly, and then dozens of Qi threads shot out at the same time, rummaging in the soil in the flowerpot.

Although Jun Jiuling said that the object of suppression could be a speck of dust or a strand of hair, Li Mu knew that spiritual energy also needed a carrier.

The object being suppressed cannot be that small.

"Found it!" Li Mu's eyes flashed slightly, and then the thread of true energy pulled out a plant root as thick as a finger from the soil, which looked like an insect but not an insect, and like grass but not grass.

Ge Peining, who was standing behind him, felt a little uneasy when watching Li Mu's actions.

Although she didn't know what Li Mu was doing, she knew that Li Mu was trying to save her mother.

He wanted to go up and ask several times, but forced himself to hold back for fear of disturbing Li Mu.

Li Mu pondered for a while, but felt that he had no clue. He turned around and held up the rhizome and asked,

"Sister Ning'er, do you recognize this thing?"

Ge Peining just glanced at it and nodded slightly.

As the successor of Master Ge, she naturally recognized this thing.

Cordyceps is mostly grown in the western area of ​​Jeju. It may be rare in other places, but it is not a rare thing in this capital.

Just as he was about to speak, a weak female voice came from the direction of the bed, "Xiao Ning?"

Hearing this voice, Ge Peining's body stiffened and her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

Trying to stay calm, he turned around.

I saw Ge's mother lying on the bed, supporting herself with one arm, looking at Ge Peining with a puzzled look.

It was not until Ge Peining turned around that the confusion in her eyes turned into joy. She leaned forward and almost fell off the bed.

"Xiao Ning."

"Mom!" Ge Peining's figure flashed, and she rushed directly to the bed, hugged Ge's mother, buried her head in her shoulder, and cried.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Ning, be good and don't cry." Mother Ge stroked Ge Peining's back. At first, she seemed a little uncomfortable, but after a few times, the movement became more and more natural.

Ge Peining felt this familiar feeling and started crying even louder, "wa wa wa wa" uncontrollably.

There were tears in the corners of Ge's mother's eyes, but she held them back, and her voice was still gentle as she comforted Ge Peining.

Li Mu stood in the corner of the room, leaning against the wall, quietly watching the reunion scene, and a sense of pride arose in his heart.

"It's all thanks to me."

Jun Jiuling's slightly sour voice sounded in my ears.

However, Li Mu could hear that this old girl, who had lived for nearly a thousand years, seemed to be crying as well.

"Jiuer, thank you!" Li Mu did not say much. On normal days, he might be able to say a lot of beautiful things to make the girl cry.

But when he was truly grateful, he turned back into a green fledgling, and all he could utter were the two short words "thank you".

"Hmph!" Jun Jiuling snorted softly. This was the first time Li Mu spoke to her so sincerely after waking up from the illusion. She was naturally happy in her heart, but she still pretended to be disdainful and said,

"Now that we have solved it, let's go to the underground palace."

"Not yet." Li Mu shook his head.

Jun Jiuling suddenly became angry and said in dissatisfaction, "Everyone is awake, what else are you going to do?"

"Do you really not love yourself that much?"

Having said that, Jun Jiuling was about to control Li Mu's right hand again and hit him on the back of the head twice.

It seemed like he wanted to use this method to make Li Mu sober up.

"Snapped!"

After the slap, Li Mu's mouth twitched suddenly, and he hurriedly stopped Jun Jiuling's "love".

Ge's mother on the bed also noticed this and looked in the direction of Li Mu.

Li Mu had been looking at the two of them. Now that their eyes met, he suddenly felt extremely awkward. He scratched his head and smiled innocently.

"Puchi!" Ge's mother couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She raised her hand and gently patted Ge Peining's back, saying softly, "Okay, mother won't run away here again."

"Hmm... Hmm~" Ge Peining snorted in dissatisfaction, acting like a little girl who has not grown up.

"No! Ning'er will never leave mother again. Ning'er wants to be with mother forever."

Hearing her daughter's words, Mother Ge's face was full of tenderness. She immediately gave Li Mu a helpless look, but smiled and said,

"Really? That night, will your husband sleep on your side or on your mother's side, or do you plan to let her sleep in the middle?"

"Huh?" Li Mu almost stumbled and fell. He immediately turned around and faced the wall, pretending he heard nothing.

Ge Peining also just reacted and called out "Mom!" in a delicate voice.

She hurriedly wiped the tears from her face and called out to Li Mu, "Husband."

Li Mu turned around and saw two pairs of big eyes staring at him. He didn't know how to start talking for a moment.

Especially after hearing his mother-in-law's tough remarks, Li Mu knew that his mother-in-law might not be so easy to fool.

"Your name is Li Mu?" Ge's mother's tone was gentle, but the expression on her face was a little strange.

Li Mu nodded, then bowed and said, "I am Li Mu, your son-in-law, and I am honored to meet you, mother-in-law."

"Did you and Ning'er get married in Qiuzhou?" Ge's mother asked again.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked to the bedside.

If he failed to react when Ge's mother asked him his name just now, then he would be a fool if he didn't understand Ge's mother's intention now.

Li Mu listened carefully to the surrounding movements and asked, "Does my mother-in-law suspect anyone?"

Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared in Ge's mother's eyes, and then she frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Li Mu saw the expression on Ge's mother's face and knew that she still had concerns. He thought for a moment and said,

"My son-in-law is not talented. He is not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, or songs..."

"I know! The sound of the flute is really harsh." However, before Li Mu could finish his "polite words", Ge's mother interrupted.

Li Mu's eyes twitched, and he stopped hiding it. He pulled over a low stool and sat down, saying,

"Within a hundred meters, no one can escape my eyes and ears. Mother-in-law, just say whatever you want to say."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Ge Mu's expression changed and he looked at Ge Peining beside him.

Ge Peining nodded vigorously, with pride in her tone, "My husband is full of energy and his physique is far above the first level."
