Chapter 278: You and Xuenuo Have No Blood Relation

“Shall I follow you?”

Qingwan smiled at Ming, her eyes twinkling with a seductive charm that made her fluttering eyelashes seem like shimmering spring water.

Qingwan’s allure was different from Mo Zhu’er’s.

Mo Zhu’er’s allure carried a sense of purity, a strong flavor of maidenhood. Even when she teased, it was more like playful banter from a young girl.

But Qingwan was different. The allure of a mature woman gave the first impression of “elegant mischief.” “I will also return to the Wu Kingdom later. With your cultivation level, you can at least become an elder there. There’s no need for you to follow me,” Ming said.

Qingwan giggled lightly, “The reason I follow you is not because I want to be an elder in your Wu Kingdom. To me, being an elder in a dynasty is nothing but a restriction on freedom.”

“I just feel bored after coming out with nothing to do, and I find you interesting, so I want to follow you.”

“When I find something interesting, I will leave naturally.”

As she spoke, Qingwan stepped forward, sat next to Ming, and pulled down her collar slightly, revealing smooth white skin. “And if you want, I can make every night enjoyable for you. My skills are not something those young girls can compare to, oh~”

“…”

Ming admitted that Zhou’s words were very tempting to a man.

But his last time succumbing to temptation had already tangled him up with Mo Zhu’er.

Not to mention, Zhou wasn’t just any bus; she was a killer bus, one where every passenger dies.

If he gave in again this time, he’d probably die on that bus.

“I think I’ll pass,” Ming refused, “but it’s up to you where you go.”

Ming implied – I don’t want to get on your bus, nor have I ever thought about privatizing it. But if you want to follow, then follow.

Your choice to follow is your freedom, and it has nothing to do with me.

Moreover, last time Yanhan sent Shengsheng away with her personal guards and protectors, now Yanhan only has two thousand Dragon Leopard Cavalry.

Regardless of how you look at it, Zhou is a cultivator of Jade Pudding Realm. Our journey back from Heavenly Profound Gate to Wudu is long, and having Zhou around would make both himself and Yanhan safer.

“Little sir really doesn’t know how to take a hint~ Sister here offers comfort, and you refuse~ Do you know how many people yearn for sister?” Qingwan hummed softly, teasing Ming’s nose.

Ming: “Sorry, I’m more interested in practicing martial arts and swordsmanship.”

“Is that so? Then what about Yanhan and Qingwan? They look at you differently. Aren’t you interested in them?” Qingwan teased.

Ming: “…”

“Giggles” Qingwan laughed like a goose, “Men~ all the same, indeed fickle.”

“By the way, does sister want to tell you something interesting?” Qingwan’s eyes twinkled, “It’s about you~”

“About me? What is it?” Ming was curious.

Cuiwan: “During your unconsciousness, sister heard quite a bit about you. That girl who came with you to Three Stone Peak, your ‘sister,’ Xuenuo…”

“Is she… Xuenuo?” Ming interrupted Cuiwan’s words, surprised.

“Eh?” Cuiwan blinked, “Your sister, you didn’t know? I originally thought you two were a couple.”

“…” Ming doubted whether the other person might be Xuenuo, but she said her name was Jiang Xue.

Even if she didn’t want to reveal her name to strangers, he had introduced himself, yet she still chose to conceal her identity. How could he have guessed that Xuenuo would hide her identity from him? In fact, Ming had another chance to discover Xuenuo’s identity during the Purple Mist Grand Ceremony when each sect took their designated seats, but at the time, Ming didn’t notice where Xuenuo was sitting.

Xuenuo only appeared when Ming was battling Xia He.

Come to think of it?

Why did Xuenuo hide her identity? Was it because she didn’t want to be associated with the Xu family?

That doesn’t make sense either. Xuenuo didn’t need to go to such lengths.

“It seems you didn’t know~ But it’s fine, not knowing is fine, anyway, she’s not your sister,” Zhou said with a smile as she looked at Ming’s expression.

Ming: “What do you mean, Senior? I don’t understand.”

“Just the surface meaning~”

Zhou continued.

“At the time when you were unconscious, they desperately wanted to use a relative’s blood to heal you, saying that familial blood could activate your internal spiritual energy.”

“But where could they find your family?”

“Then someone said that Xuenuo from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was your sister.”

“But guess what? Xuenuo claimed her bloodline was completely incompatible with yours.”

“They tested both your blood, and sure enough, it was true.”

“She~ has no blood relation to you at all.”

“I wonder who gave your cheap old dad a green hat.”

“…”

Hearing Zhou’s news, Ming’s mind was filled with disbelief.

Me and Xuenuo have no blood relation? One of my mothers or Lady Wang must have given my father a green hat?

“Does anyone else know about this matter?” Ming asked.

Zhou: “Only I, Dead-not, and Xu Cang know. Others don’t, after all, it’s not a glorious thing.”

“But this matter doesn’t really matter to you, right?” Zhou yawned, “Xuenuo has Innate Sword Bone, she severed ties with you long ago, removed from the family registry, and is no longer your sister. Now that there’s no blood relation either, she’s completely unrelated to you.”

“Looking at you, you seem quite concerned. Indeed, you’ve only been cultivating for a few years, still valuing worldly relationships too much. We cultivators will eventually sever all worldly ties,” Zhou tapped Ming’s forehead, her round buttocks rising from the bed, “I’ll go wander around. Remember to tell me when you’re leaving Heavenly Profound Gate~”

Zhou left Ming’s room.

Ming was still pondering the fact that one of them must be a bastard child.

Actually, for him, it didn’t matter who the bastard was. Ming didn’t have much feeling for the Xu Mansion, but Xuenuo was different. It was probably for this reason that when they met, she didn’t want to face him.

Ming sighed lightly, sat up, and also walked towards the courtyard outside.

Let’s see her first before deciding anything.
