Chapter 277: Do you think Wang Xuan is pretty?

After Wang Xuan left.

Ming closed his eyes to rest, while also channeling his Spiritual Energy to heal his arms.

Spiritual Energy has a nourishing effect, but when Ming directed the energy into his arms, the excruciating pain made him frown.

“Hey kid, did that girl Wang Xuan leave?”

Half an incense stick later, a voice echoed in.

Ming opened his eyes, turned his head towards the door, and saw a handsome old man walk in.

“Who are you, Elder?” Ming asked.

“What, you don’t recognize me already? Back at Three Stone Peak, I taught you my signature sword technique.” Xu Cang chuckled.

“Are you Xu Cang?” Ming was surprised.

“Forget ‘Xu Cang,’ call me Elder! No respect at all!” Xu Cang gave Ming’s head a tap and then sat on the edge of Ming’s bed, picking his feet.

Ming: “…”

“I just came out from Three Stone Peak, feeling quite good. I originally wanted to give you another sword manual as a reward for letting us out, but the grass script charm Wang Xuan gave you is pretty decent too. You might get confused learning too many things, so never mind.”

Xu Cang continued picking his feet while sitting on Ming’s bedside.

Ming turned his head. “Elder, can we please not pick feet while talking?”

“You brat…” Xu Cang put down his foot. “Alright, alright. Since you’re fine, I’m leaving today anyway. Just stopping by to say goodbye.”

“Are you going to deal with some enemies, Elder?” Ming asked.

“More or less. But calling it revenge is too narrow-minded. It’s more about the great path disputes between me and those old geezers.”

Xu Cang stroked his beard with the hand he just used to pick his feet.

“Besides, it’s been over three thousand years. Those old bastards attacked me back then because they were nearing their end and wanted to take a gamble with me. Now, after three thousand years, quite a few of them must be dead and buried, impossible to find. But even though the people are gone, the matters remain. Some things, I must settle.”

“…” Ming didn’t say much.

What Xu Cang wants to do is Xu Cang’s business. He’s no relation to Xu Cang.

“Oh right, kid, let me ask you something.” Xu Cang whispered conspiratorially. “What do you think of Wang Xuan?”

Ming thought for a moment. “Wang Xuan Elder is of high cultivation and has excellent character, there’s nothing bad to say.”

“That’s not what I mean.” Xu Cang slapped Ming’s head again. “I mean, what do you think of Wang Xuan as a person? Is she pretty? Does she have a nice figure?”

“…” Ming twitched his eyebrows, looking at Xu Cang with a “how old are you and still thinking this way” expression.

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m not that kind of person. It’s just that I feel Wang Xuan seems to have a special attitude towards you. She often came to check on you when you were unconscious. So I thought I’d play matchmaker for you two.” Xu Cang revealed the truth.

“Wang Xuan Elder came to see me because I helped her block an attack, and she felt she owed me a favor. That’s all. Besides, aren’t you supposed to practice swords? Why start matchmaking now?” Ming questioned.

“Ah…” Xu Cang sighed. “I owe it to her auntie. Wang Xuan was raised by her auntie, who always hoped Wang Xuan would marry a good family. I think you’re not bad, which is why I’m asking. If you’re interested, I’ll help arrange it.”

“No thanks, I don’t have such plans at the moment.” Ming directly refused.

Are you kidding me?

If I marry Qing Wan’s master, what about Qing Wan? Am I supposed to marry both teacher and student?

“You young man… you just don’t understand the goodness of older sisters.” Xu Cang sighed again. “Well well, Wang Xuan hasn’t awakened yet anyway. If I force this match, she’ll probably come to cut me down.”

Xu Cang stood up, patted his clothes. “I’m off, kid. See you around.”

Xu Cang left without hesitation.

And indeed, Ming didn’t see Xu Cang anymore after that.

Deadly Everyday would boil medicine and bring it to Ming every day, also giving him acupuncture.

It’s worthy of a divine doctor; Ming could feel his body recovering visibly.

After seven days of treatment, Ming was able to get out of bed.

During these seven days, Zhou Wanfeng visited Ming several times.

“After being released,” Zhou Wanfeng washed herself thoroughly, changed into a nice outfit, and tidied her hair.

When Zhou Wanfeng appeared before Ming, he couldn’t help but notice her beauty.

Unlike Qing Wan and Yan Han, Zhou Wanfeng had a mature allure, making her even more dangerous in some ways.

Although Xu Cang and Zhou Wanfeng lost some vital energies and fortunes, fortunately, it didn’t harm their fundamentals.

Within a year at the earliest, ten years at the latest, they could recover.

Even after such a long period of “enlightenment through tribulation,” their experiences in captivity gave them new insights into “life” and “the Great Path.”

They might even achieve breakthroughs in cultivation due to this imprisonment.

Misfortune turning into fortune, adversity intertwined with blessings, is exactly like this.

During this time, Qin Feng, “Thief” Tang Long, and others also bid farewell to Ming one by one.

Each of them had their own karmic debts to settle.

But Zhou Wanfeng stayed, serving Ming like a maidservant, feeding him medicine daily.

Sometimes, Zhou Wanfeng would deliberately lean down, revealing the white valley beneath her collar.

Other times, she’d bend over in front of Ming, showing off the curves accentuated by her clinging Chángqún, even swaying occasionally.

There was no doubt that Zhou Wanfeng was trying to seduce Ming.

But honestly, Ming had no intention of hopping on the bus.

“All the others have left. Aren’t you going?”

Most cultivators who came out from Three Stone Peak had already departed, leaving only Zhou Wanfeng behind.

“Some are seeking vengeance, some returning to their sects, and some rebuilding their sects. As for someone like me, I have no grudges, no place to go.”

“How about this?”

Zhou Wanfeng walked to Xu Ming’s bedside, hands on her knees, leaning forward, presenting a large expanse of snow-white cleavage in front of Ming.

“Since I don’t know where to go, how about I follow you?”
