However, he wasn't envious because he was determinedly walking on his own path.

These days, Mu Yi cultivated a lot and finally reached the third level of the Heart Stage, understanding himself.

He needed to stabilize his cultivation level now, and after that, he'd start attempting a breakthrough to the second stage.

Time pa.s.sed, and the first snowflakes appeared. It was very cold at night, and a layer of ice appeared on Funiu Mountain.

Mu Yi was seated in the pavilion, and there was a table with two bowls of pickles and a jar of alcohol on it. Mu Yi was taking the time to enjoy solitary pleasures.

Mu Yi didn't like drinking alcohol, but when he was in a good mood, he would drink a few gla.s.ses. It was cold outside, but because Mu Yi was wearing a cloak and drinking alcohol, he couldn't feel the cold. Of course, it was also because he had become stronger.

He had been practicing the fighting technique every day, and he felt a warmth in his body, each time. He also sensed that he was becoming stronger with every practice. It wasn't something one could see from his appearance since he didn't have huge muscles. Instead, it was something he could sense from the inside.

He didn't need to go down the mountain, so he never put on his hat. He would always have his hair in a ponytail and was now dressed in a new Taoist robe and a cloak, which the Su Clan had given to him.

During those two months, Su Chongshan hadn't come to disturb him, just sending someone every two weeks to bring him food. Initially, it was the same servant, but over time, Su Yingying and Su Jinlun would occasionally replace the servant.

Mu Yi was happy to see Jinlun because he had no friends, so when Su Jinlun came, they would always have pleasant conversation and quickly became friends.

Su Chongshan was happy to see that Su Jinlun became friends with Mu Yi, but he also wanted Su Jinlun to learn from Mu Yi. After all, Su Jinlun was a successor of the clan, so Su Chongshan spared no effort to raise him.

Mu Yi understood that, but he didn't say anything. He was just detached from the prospect.

“Hihi, hihi.”

Suddenly, Mu Yi heard a sound. A person appeared and jumped onto Mu Yi's back and put its arms around Mu Yi. They seemed to be very happy.

“Brother, play with me too,” Nian Nuer said.

Nian Nuer had opened up to Mu Yi since they had been living on the mountain. Mu Yi was good to her, and he spent time with her and they would often play games.

Nian Nuer was very cute, and Mu Yi didn't feel as lonely with her to keep him company. It was as if he had gained a little sister.

“Alright,” Mu Yi said. He put his gla.s.s down and walked out of the pavilion. They ran after each other and played at the top of the mountain.

··········

Two days later, when Mu Yi finished practicing his fighting technique, he saw Su Jinlun and frowned. The weather had gotten much worse, but Su Jinlun had still come to pay a visit.
