Chapter 253: I Have Something to Show You

“Ming, so you spent a night with Sister Mo as well?”

Qingwan smiled sweetly at Ming, her expression looking extremely “kind.”

Ming tactically took a sip of water. “That night, we were both being chased by the Sect Leader of Hehuan Sect and had to hide in a cave for the entire night.”

“Oh, I see.” Qingwan’s delicate hand pulled up her sleeve as she poured tea for Ming and Mo Zhu’er.

Qingwan waved over Shen Shengsheng who was still admiring the flowers from afar. “Shengsheng, would you like to come over for some tea?”

Shen Shengsheng glanced at Brother Ming, then at Qingwan Sister and that wicked woman before shaking her head. “No, thank you, Qingwan Sister. I’ll go play on my own.”

As she spoke, Shen Shengsheng darted off.

Her sixth sense told her that Brother Ming was dangerous, and there was a high possibility of innocent people getting hurt. “Shengsheng is truly a good girl,” Qingwan’s hand supported her chin as she watched the little girl run away. A smile curved on her lips as she looked at Ming. “Seeing Shengsheng reminds me of our childhood.”

Ming just chuckled without saying anything more.

In reality, Ming wanted to say, “You weren’t as obedient as Shengsheng when you were younger.”

“By the way, how did you and Shengsheng meet?” Ming curiously asked, also deliberately changing the subject.

He only met Shengsheng when he left the White洼Secret Realm, by which time Qingwan had already returned to the sect.

Logically speaking, Qingwan shouldn’t have seen Shengsheng.

This time, when he came to see Qingwan, he originally planned to introduce Shengsheng to her.

However, the moment they met, Shengsheng directly ran into Qingwan’s arms.

It seemed Qingwan and Shengsheng had a good relationship.

Qingwan’s cheeks turned slightly red, with a hint of apology in her expression. “That night, when you sent Shengsheng to Xuan Yue City for reinforcements, I was actually in the city lord’s mansion.

The city lord of Xuan Yue City is Elder Hua, one of my master’s younger female fellow practitioners.

At that time, the guards brought Shengsheng directly to the city lord’s mansion, and that’s how I met her.

When I heard Shengsheng say you were in danger and being pursued, I wanted to help you.

But my master instructed the city lord not to let me leave Xuan Yue City even a single step.

The city lord instructed Senior Sister Yue to go save you.

Even Elder Hua, the city lord, didn’t tell Senior Sister about my presence in the city, fearing she might leak it.

From start to finish, Senior Sister thought I was still in the sect.”

“I see.” Ming nodded, indicating his understanding.

At the time when Shengsheng brought reinforcements, he didn’t think much about it. Not to mention, he and Mo Zhu’er were deeply engaged in conversation within the Mandarin Duck Cauldron, so his mind was already quite chaotic.

And since he didn’t ask, Shengsheng naturally didn’t need to mention meeting Qingwan.

As for why the city lord of Xuan Yue City didn’t allow Qingwan to come see him, that was normal.

Qingwan had deep karmic ties with him, and with the Tiandao flower inside her gone, she nearly suffered fundamental damage. Elder Wang Xuan might still be upset.

At that time, it was already commendable that Elder Wang Xuan didn’t stand idly by.

“It turns out the reinforcements from Xuan Yue City back then were all because of Miss Qin. Thankfully, Miss Qin lent a helping hand; both Mo Zhu’er and I owe Miss Qin a favor.” Mo Zhu’er said beside them.

Although what Mo Zhu’er said wasn’t wrong, Qingwan always felt it sounded rather awkward.

She couldn’t help but feel that Mo Zhu’er’s relationship with Ming seemed better than hers.

Just as the tea table grew silent,

Suddenly, Ming’s hand gripping the teacup paused mid-air.

Ming clearly felt under the table, a white and tender little foot had slipped into his pant leg!

Moreover, this foot was becoming increasingly restless, continuously climbing up his pant leg until it reached his thigh.

Ming glanced at Mo Zhu’er, who merely smiled with a twinkle in her eyes, as if to say, “If you resist, I’ll reveal our relationship. You wouldn’t want your childhood friend to know about our deep exchanges, right?”

“Miss Mo came to see me, surely it wasn’t just for a simple visit, right? There must be something you wish to discuss?” Qingwan asked Mo Zhu’er, completely unaware of what was happening under the table.

“There indeed are some matters.” Mo Zhu’er nodded. “I was worried today that Miss Qin might not believe me, but luckily Ming is here. Whatever Ming says, I believe Miss Qin will trust.”

Qingwan looked at Ming.

Ming set down his teacup. “I should know why Mo Zhu’er has come to find you. Actually, besides coming to see you, Qingwan, I also intended to talk about this matter with you.”

Ming mentally organized his words and then said to Mo Zhu’er, “Go back first. I’ll explain everything to Qingwan. You staying here won’t serve any purpose.”

“Alright then, if that’s the case, I’ll leave it to Master Xu to inform Miss Qin. I’ll wait for your reply in your quarters.”

Mo Zhu’er knew she shouldn’t push her luck. After all, Ming wasn’t the kind of person who could be easily manipulated. If pushed too far, Ming might lash out.

Right now, she desperately needed Ming.

Mo Zhu’er stood up and bowed to Qingwan. “Miss Qin, I shall take my leave first. I’ll visit again another day.”

“Take care, Miss Mo.” Qingwan didn’t attempt to hold her back.

To be honest, Qingwan didn’t really like this woman.

This woman always gave off a dangerous vibe.

Mo Zhu’er nodded, turned around, and left.

Once Mo Zhu’er completely disappeared from sight, Qingwan finally relaxed completely, looking at Ming like a little girl. “Ming, what do you want to tell me~”

Ming mentally organized his words. “Qingwan, what I’m about to say may sound utterly bizarre, perhaps even beyond your comprehension. But everything I’m going to say is true. In fact, the heavens…”

Before Ming could continue, Qingwan extended her hand and gently pressed it against Ming’s lips. “What you’re about to tell me looks serious. I know this matter is important.

However, before we discuss such a serious and important issue, I have something to show you.”

[There are only two more days until Black Myth comes out. I’ve been waiting for years. I wonder how difficult it will be. I haven’t even beaten Sekiro yet.

But no problem, I’ll play it slowly.

To be honest, it’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited about a game. This is also the first game I’ve pre-ordered.

I’ll take a leave of absence the day after tomorrow and indulge myself~]
