Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Who is this young lady?

Qingwan’s gaze locked onto the figure of the man before her, her beautiful peach blossom eyes twinkling.

The more she looked, the more familiar he seemed, her heartbeat quickening with every passing moment.

In this man, Qingwan saw a trace of her beloved brother Ming from her youth.

But she couldn’t be sure.

It had been nearly ten years since she last saw her brother Ming.

When she left, Ming was only six and a half years old.

Back then, he wasn’t even as tall as the table in the courtyard.

And now, this man stood at about five chi two cun.

Moreover, this man merely resembled Ming somewhat; upon closer inspection, there were significant differences.

When Ming was little, his face was slightly rounder, whereas this man’s features were sharp and angular.

Finally, would Ming really appear here? Isn’t Ming supposed to be in Wudu?

Qingwan felt perplexed, believing she had encountered someone who both resembled and didn’t resemble Ming.

“Qingwan, Qingwan?” Xia Donghua called out twice in succession.

“Hmm?” This brought Qingwan back to reality.

Xia Donghua questioned curiously, “What’s wrong? Do you know that person?”

Qingwan gazed intently at the man clad in blue robes, “He seems familiar, but also not.”

“Qingwan, it might be better if that man isn’t someone you know,” Qi Shang chuckled. “That guy may look like he’s doing something righteous, but in reality, he’s just a brute. In this situation, not knowing how to protect himself, and unnecessarily bringing trouble upon himself…”

Qi Shang’s words stopped abruptly as the rhinoceros charged towards the man in blue robes.

Xu Ming, standing between the rhinoceros and the elephant, hadn’t expected the rhinoceros to be so impulsive.

He had merely greeted it, without saying anything further.

Yet, the rhinoceros charged straight at him.

However, Xu Ming stood firm, assuming a fist stance and delivering a punch. His fist struck directly against the rhinoceros’ head, causing both to retreat five meters.

“Is he a martial artist?”

“How could this martial artist’s physique be so formidable?”

“Who is this martial artist?”

“Could he have actually repelled a Rhinoceros Demon in the late stage of the Sea Observing Realm?”

After Xu Ming repelled the rhinoceros, both humans and demons alike began to take him seriously — this martial artist was certainly no ordinary being!

Qingwan gripped the wooden railing in front of her tightly.

She didn’t know what boxing technique he used, but Qingwan knew that Ming was a martial artist.

In Qingwan’s heart, this man became a bit more likely to be Ming.

The rhinoceros shook its head, “Kid, you’re not simple either.”

Xu Ming placed one hand behind his back, shielding the two disciples of the White Deer Academy, “There’s no need for such hostility, right?”

“Hmph.” The elephant snorted, “They flirted with my two cousins, yet we won’t pursue it. A hundred taels of silver, and we’ll let them go!”

“Unreasonable!”

One disciple of the White Deer Academy clutched his chest and stood up, “My friend Yuwen and I were fine in our inn room when these two cats barged in. They took off their clothes without any explanation and accused us of impropriety! Is there any justice?”

“That’s right!” A man named Yu Wen Xi also stood up, “Even if we starve or jump off the inn, we won’t give you a single coin!”

“Fine! Then I’ll crush you and take the money from your corpses!”

The elephant and rhinoceros charged at Xu Ming again.

Yu Wen Xi quickly pulled Xu Ming aside, “Brother, this has nothing to do with you. Hurry and leave Baiwa City, return to the White Deer Academy, and tell the Dean! I did not molest those female cats!”

“That’s correct.” A man named Miao Feng also stood up, “I only like human women! Brother, you must clear my name!”

“…”

Xu Ming’s eyebrows twitched slightly, thinking they were focusing on the wrong things.

Instead of asking him to avenge them at the White Deer Academy, they wanted to prove their preferences were justified?

Just as these two disciples of the White Deer Academy prepared to fight the elephant and rhinoceros to the death,

Xu Ming pushed them away.

He delivered the Mountain-Shaking Fist!

“Boom!”

With fierce martial artist’s energy combined with Xu Ming’s immense power, a punch struck the rhinoceros’ head, sending it flying ten meters away, crashing into a shop.

“Powerful~~”

The elephant lifted its front leg, stomping down on Xu Ming.

Xu Ming punched upwards, actually knocking the elephant over. He followed up with a kick, sending the elephant crashing onto the rhinoceros.

Both fell unconscious.

Seeing this scene, the two disciples of the White Deer Academy sucked in a breath of cold air.

These weren’t ordinary rhinoceroses and elephants. Their strength was something they had witnessed, surpassing even martial artists in the Heroic Soul Realm.

Yet this man defeated them with two punches?

There was no fancy display earlier; it was all raw power colliding.

How could this man be so powerful? Was he a descendant of ancient ferocious beasts!

“Goose goose goose (teaching you to be arrogant, teaching you to be arrogant!)”

The Heavenly Black Goose flew onto the rhinoceros and elephant, proudly strutting around and looking down with arrogance.

Xu Ming glanced at the two cat demons, scaring them so much they collapsed on the ground, wetting the floor.

“Is this goose… Xiao Bai?”

Looking at the Heavenly Black Goose, Qingwan’s peach blossom eyes lit up instantly.

She wouldn’t make a mistake!

Although Xiao Bai had grown larger, she remembered the flower-shaped “birthmark” on Xiao Bai’s forehead.

It was Xiao Bai!

Qingwan’s gaze shifted from Xiao Bai back to the man in blue robes.

Qingwan tightly covered her chest, her eyes filled with a gentleness softer than the spring breeze.

If this goose was Xiao Bai…

Then he must be…

“Eh? Younger Female Fellow Practitioner?”

Before Xia Donghua and the others could react, Qingwan had already jumped down from the fence.

On the street, the crowd had dispersed. Xu Ming hadn’t pursued the fight to the death, sparing their lives. The two disciples of the White Deer Academy were bowing deeply in gratitude to Xu Ming.

They wanted to invite Xu Ming for a meal, and he didn’t refuse, as he had some questions to ask them.

However, just as Xu Ming turned around, a young girl suddenly appeared before him.

The girl wore a light purple long dress, her hands behind her back, smiling gently as she tilted her head upward, looking up at him.

Seeing the excessively beautiful girl before him, Xu Ming stepped back, “Young lady, who are you?”

Qingwan blinked first, then smiled mischievously, “Guess~”

Ten Thousand Flowers Valley of the Tianxuan Sect.

Wang Xuan walked step by step across the sea of flowers.

At the request of her disciple, Wang Xuan came daily to water the Blood Rafflesia garden.

However, when Wang Xuan reached the wooden house of the young girl, she stopped in her tracks.

Hundreds of Blood Rafflesias bloomed neatly, swaying gently in the wind.
