Chapter 251: She Said Her Name Was Mo Zhu’er

“This is the entrance to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, Ming. You can just go in.” Yue brought Xu Ming to the entrance of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and said to Xu Ming, “Qingwan is waiting for you inside.”

Xu Ming nodded: “Alright, I understand. Thank you, Miss Yue. But aren’t you coming in with me?”

“There’s no need for that. I’ve already seen Qingwan, and she’s doing well,” Yue shook her head. “Moreover, as soon as Qingwan woke up, she asked if you had arrived. She keeps wanting to see you, so if I went in, wouldn’t I be interrupting you two?”

“But speaking of which…” Yue looked at Xu Ming curiously, “What kind of relationship do you have with our Uncle Qin?”

Xu Ming smiled and said, “We’re just childhood sweethearts.”

“Only a normal childhood sweetheart relationship?” Yue looked at Xu Ming, half-believing.

“Yes,” Xu Ming nodded.

Currently, he and Qingwan were indeed just childhood sweethearts.

“Alright then.” Not getting the answer she wanted, Yue felt somewhat disappointed.

But Yue wouldn’t believe Xu Ming’s nonsense.

Who among ordinary childhood sweethearts would risk everything for each other, almost challenging half of the young geniuses from the Heavenly Profound Gate?

And who among ordinary childhood sweethearts would ask about the other person immediately after waking up?

But since they were so tight-lipped, she couldn’t get anything out of them.

When she asked Qingwan earlier, Qingwan also said they were just childhood sweethearts.

“Alright, go on in. The grand ceremony is approaching, and I still have a lot of things to take care of.”

Yue didn’t say much more, waved her hand, and flew off directly.

“Let’s go,” Xu Ming smiled at Shen Shengsheng by his side.

“Mm-hmm,” Shen Shengsheng nodded and followed Brother Xu into this narrow path.

This entrance was very small, initially extremely narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through.

However, after walking dozens of steps, although it wasn’t suddenly spacious, it could accommodate two people walking side by side.

Before the two of them even exited the cave, they smelled a floral fragrance.

A bright light appeared before Xu Ming and Shen Shengsheng.

“Woof!”

When Xu Ming and Shen Shengsheng exited the cave, what they saw was a sea of flowers covering the entire small plain, with Shengsheng’s eyes shining brightly.

Shengsheng was a girl, and there isn’t a girl who doesn’t like flowers, especially such an expansive flower field.

Red, white, yellow… various kinds of flowers bloomed together, their colors blending into one mass. When the wind blew, the flowers bent and straightened continuously, like waves.

And amidst this sea of flowers stood a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl gracefully.

The gentle breeze carried the floral fragrance and petals of various colors, her long skirt hugging her figure, making her look even more alluring.

“Sister Qingwan…”

Seeing Qingwan, Shengsheng’s big eyes lit up, and she ran towards Qin Qingwan with open arms.

Seeing Shengsheng’s happy expression, Xu Ming couldn’t help but shake his head.

Little Shengsheng called Qingwan’s name so fluently without any stuttering.

It was clear that Shengsheng really liked Qingwan.

Upon hearing the sound, Qingwan turned around and saw Shengsheng running towards her. Qingwan also ran forward and picked up Shengsheng, their little faces pressed together, “Seems like Shengsheng has grown taller~ and cuter too~”

Shen Shengsheng was tickled by Qingwan’s cheek against hers and giggled, “Sister Qingwan… is… also prettier.”

“Thank you, Shengsheng~” Qingwan kissed Shengsheng on the cheek.

Xu Ming also walked up to Qingwan and smiled, saying, “You look pretty good.”

“Of course.” Qingwan’s eyes curved gently as she looked at Xu Ming.

“Hmm?” The girl couldn’t help but exclaim.

Xu Ming: “What’s wrong?”

Qingwan put Shengsheng down, stepped forward, hands behind her back, bending over, looking up at Xu Ming from below, “Hmm… I always feel like your Sword Qi seems sharper, your Sword Intent is deeper, and your Martial True Qi also feels more robust.

Previously, the Martial True Qi and Spiritual Energy inside your body always gave me a chaotic feeling. I didn’t know why, so when I came back, I asked Master.

Master said it was because you practice both physical techniques and spiritual cultivation, causing conflicts between Spiritual Energy and Martial True Qi.

I was actually thinking about finding a solution for you, but it seems you’ve already solved it?”

Xu Ming didn’t expect Qingwan to be so meticulous, “Thank you, no need. I’ve temporarily found a way to solve it.”

Xu Ming didn’t want to delve deeper into this topic.

This topic shouldn’t be delved into further either. “Really? You don’t need my help?” Qingwan asked.

“No need.” Xu Ming shook his head, thinking to himself that there’s no way you could help me with this.

“Alright.” Qingwan straightened her willowy waist, “But… why does your body still carry a whiff of a girl’s fragrance?”

“…” Xu Ming’s heart involuntarily quickened its pace, “Maybe it’s because I just came out from Wu’s courtyard.”

“Oh?” Qingwan narrowed her eyes, “Wu? Is that Princess Wu Yanhan of the Wu Kingdom? Looks like your relationship with her is pretty good, huh? You can visit her courtyard and even call her by her first name.”

Xu Ming seriously said, “My relationship with Wu is aboveboard.”

“…”

After Xu Ming finished speaking, both parties fell into silence.

Shen Shengsheng standing nearby didn’t know what happened, but her intuition told her she should quickly distance herself a bit. It seemed like something might not be right between Brother Xu and Sister Qingwan.

“Hehehehe…” Three breaths later, Qingwan chuckled lightly, her voice crisp like silver bells, “I was just joking, look how nervous you are.”

Qingwan blinked her eyes, “I believe you. I trust that you and that princess are pure and innocent. Otherwise, you would have agreed to marry her back then, right? And besides, I’m actually very happy~”

Xu Ming: “Happy?”

Qingwan nodded, “Yes, I’m happy that you were nervous just now. The reason you were nervous is because you have me in your heart, right?”

“You little thing.” Xu Ming reached out and flicked her forehead, “We just met, and you’re teasing me again.”

“Tsk~” Qingwan stuck out her tongue playfully.

“Come on, let me show you something nice.” Qingwan naturally took Xu Ming’s hand.

Xu Ming gripped Qingwan’s hand tightly.

Qingwan’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she also gripped back slightly.

But at that moment, a flower sprouted from the ground, using its roots as feet, and ran to Qingwan, “Qingwan Qingwan… a guest has arrived.”

“Guest?” Qingwan turned her head.

The spirit flower nodded, “Yes, a guest is outside the valley. She said her name is Mo Zhu’er.”
