Chapter 221 Jealous? (4000 words, 2 in 1)

"Then I will ask directly, are you here at Tianxuanmen to congratulate or because you miss Qin Qingwan?"

Wu Yanhan looked at Xu Ming seriously.

Being stared at like this by Wu Yanhan, Xu Ming shuddered all over.

Xu Ming had a feeling that if he didn't answer well, Wu Yanhan would probably punch him.

Wu Yanhan's punch is not the kind that hits you in the chest with a small fist.

Wu Yanhan's punch may make you doubt your life.

"Qingwan is my friend. She helped me a lot in the Baiwa Secret Realm. Qingwan suffered serious injuries because of helping me. I have to come and see her to see if there is anything I can do." Xu Ming said slowly.

"I didn't say anything, why do you have to explain so much?" Wu Yanhan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. "Even if you came to see her because you missed her, it's none of my business. It's your freedom."

Although Wu Yanhan said this, in fact, she was quite happy in her heart after hearing Xu Ming's explanation.

Although it was very likely that Xu Ming was lying to him, at least he would explain it.

As for whether it is true or not, I don't want to find out.

When Xu Ming looked at Wu Yanhan, he always felt that Wu Yanhan was a little jealous.

But Xu Ming felt that he might be wrong.

I had stopped her from competing with Mo Zhuer at that time, and did not help either of them, so it was possible that Wu Yanhan was "jealous".

After all, he and she are "brothers" who live and die together, but he took a neutral approach, which would definitely make Wu Yanhan feel uncomfortable.

But Qingwan is his childhood sweetheart, and has no conflict of interest with Wu Yanhan. Xu Ming can't think of the possibility that Wu Yanhan would be jealous.

"Could it be that Yan Han likes me?"

A bold idea popped up in Xu Ming's mind and he looked at Wu Yanhan.

Wu Yanhan blinked at Xu Ming and found that there was something wrong with Xu Ming's eyes: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Ming took a sip of tea with a guilty conscience: "Nothing."

"It's inexplicable." Wu Yanhan stood up. "It's getting late. I'll leave first. Just tell me if you have anything to say. By the way, after attending the Zixia Ceremony, are you going anywhere else?"

Xu Ming shook his head: "I originally wanted to go to the Wanjian Sect, but the selection for the Wugen Secret Realm is about to begin. I don't think I will have much time. After attending the Zixia Hall, I will have to go back to Wudu."

Wu Yanhan nodded: "After I finish my mission to Tianxuanmen, I will also return to Wudu to report, so you can come back with me."

"Has the Wu army arrived?" Xu Ming asked.

Wu Yanhan: "I am only on a diplomatic mission to Tianxuanmen, not to raze Tianxuanmen to the ground. Why would I bring troops here? But there are two thousand Dragon Leopard Iron Cavalry following me. So why are you asking this?"

"Nothing, just asking casually, OK, then let's go back together."

The reason why Xu Ming asked this was that he was afraid that he would encounter an assassination on the road, which would affect Wu Yanhan.

But with 2,000 Dragon Leopard Cavalry following him, he felt relieved.

Although most of the Dragon Leopard Iron Cavalry are at the Heroic Soul Realm and the Martial Gallant Realm, the spears and armor in the hands of each of the Dragon Leopard Iron Cavalry are made of black iron, and the Dragon Leopard horses under their crotches have the bloodline of Deer Shu, Dragon and Thunder Leopard, making them even more powerful.

In particular, the Dragon Leopard Cavalry can form a military formation, which is a powerful killing weapon.

As the three ace armies of the Wu Kingdom, with 2,000 Dragon Leopard Cavalry, let alone Yuanying realm cultivators, even if Yupu realm cultivators come, they have to be cautious.

"Okay, that's decided."

After getting Xu Ming's confirmation, Wu Yanhan didn't waste any more time and walked out of Xu Ming's courtyard.

After Wu Yanhan left, Shen Shengsheng, who had been playing with mud, ran to Xu Ming, then stretched out his hand and handed something made of mud to Xu Ming.

"This puppy is sculpted very well." Xu Ming praised as he looked at the clay sculpture in Shen Shengsheng's hand.

Shen Shengsheng shook his head: "No. Dog"

"Not a dog? What is it?" Xu Ming looked at it carefully.

Shen Shengsheng pointed at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming also pointed at himself: "Are you pinching me?"

Shen Shengsheng nodded, then lowered his head in disappointment and touched the clay figurine Xu Ming in his hand.

Seeing the little girl's lost look, Xu Ming quickly changed his words and said, "Oh, I was wondering why I looked so familiar. It turns out it was me. Thank you. I like it very much."

"Really?" Shen Shengsheng raised his little head.

"Really." Xu Ming accepted the clay figurine, "I never lie to Shengsheng."

Shen Shengsheng's eyes curved and his mood suddenly improved.

In fact, Shengsheng’s IQ is really not low, it’s just that Shengsheng can’t speak very well.

When Wu Yanhan came to the yard, Shengsheng had been playing by himself and did not disturb him and Wu Yanhan. It was only after Wu Yanhan left that Shengsheng ran over.

"You're covered in mud. Go wash your hands." Xu Ming rubbed Shen Shengsheng's head.

"Hmm." Shen Shengsheng nodded obediently, ran to the water tank, stood on tiptoe, scooped two scoops of water into the wooden tray, then squatted down and washed his hands carefully.

After washing, Shen Shengsheng ran to Xu Ming again and stretched out her pair of white, tender and delicate hands towards Xu Ming.

"Yeah." Xu Ming nodded, turned his head, still thinking about the matters of Sanshi Peak.

But after a while, Shen Shengsheng turned to Xu Ming and stretched out her white and tender little hand towards Xu Ming again.

Looking at Shen Shengsheng's cute appearance, Xu Ming quickly understood what Shen Shengsheng wanted to do.

Xu Ming reached out and rubbed Shen Shengsheng's little head, and said with a smile: "It's really clean."

"Hehehe" Shen Shengsheng was like a little animal, rubbing his little head happily against Xu Ming's palm.

Seeing the little girl's well-behaved appearance, Xu Ming asked, "Shengsheng, what do you think of that big sister just now?"

Shen Shengsheng thought about it seriously and said, "It looks good."

Xu Ming smiled and said, "She is very pretty, but what I'm asking is not how she looks, but what do you think of her as a person?"

Shen Shengsheng bit his finger and thought seriously: "Xiong Xiong."

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, and pinched Shen Shengsheng's nose: "Yan Han is indeed fierce, but Yan Han just looks fierce. In fact, Yan Han is very gentle. When you get along with her for a long time, you will know."

“Oh.”

Shen Shengsheng nodded and sat next to Xu Ming.

In fact, in Shen Shengsheng's opinion, the personality of that beautiful older sister is none of his business. He just needs to stay close to Brother Xu.

As night fell, the outer disciples brought dinner.

Dinner is served in a wooden box and can be thrown away directly after eating.

There are five dishes and one soup, and the portions are very large.

The raw materials used for these dishes are all the flesh and blood of magical beasts or spiritual vegetables irrigated by spiritual springs, all of which have abundant spiritual power.

If these dishes were available outside, ordinary people would not be able to afford them. Even kings, princes, generals and ministers could not eat them every day.

However, there is no need for those kings, princes, generals and ministers to eat there every day.

Most of the people in the mortal world are warriors. Warriors cannot replenish any spiritual power. The most they can do is to make their bodies healthier. However, they may over-replenish and cause other problems.

After dinner, it was basically dark.

Xu Ming took Shen Shengsheng to a stream to take a bath. Of course, Xu Ming had his back to Shen Shengsheng while she was bathing.

Xu Ming had originally been thinking about whether or not to take Shen Shengsheng to the women's bathhouse, where the bath water was soaked with magical flowers and herbs, which was good for the body.

But Shen Shengsheng still has some Warcraft characteristics, it would not be good if others saw it.

After Shen Shengsheng finished taking a shower, he shouted "Awoo" to Xu Ming in the distance, and Xu Ming knew that Shen Shengsheng had finished taking a shower.

Xu Ming brought Shen Shengsheng back to the courtyard. At this time, a maid was standing outside the gate.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Seeing Xu Ming coming back, the maid bowed and said, "Lingzhi Peak Chenxiang, greetings to Master Xu."

Xu Ming nodded and bowed in return: "Miss Chenxiang, what is this?"

"The sect leader asked me to come and deliver some things to Mr. Xu. These are the things that Senior Brother Xia promised to give to you when we were in the Baiwa Secret Realm." Chenxiang took out a box from his storage ring with a smile.

"Oh, so that's it. Miss, please thank the Sect Master and Brother Xia for me. Brother Xia is indeed a man of his word."

Xu Ming took the box.

"Mr. Xu, you are too polite. Besides, the Sect Master also asked me to tell you that if you need anything, just ask and the Sect Master will definitely satisfy you." Chenxiang said gently.

"Of course, of course. I won't be polite." Xu Ming smiled and did not reject the other party's kindness.

Xu Ming heard a hint of warning in Chenxiang's words.

This female disciple did not come on behalf of Xia Donghua, but on behalf of the leader of Tianxuan Sect.

Another meaning of this expression is - "I actually already know about the matter between you and my son. It is true that my son did something wrong. These things are my apology. However, I hope that this matter ends here. Please give me some face."

Whether to give face or not will be decided later, but in Tianxuan Sect, even if you are pretending, you have to pretend that you give face to the other party.

"If you have nothing else to do, then that's it for now. Chenxiang will take his leave first."

"Go on, girl."

Chenxiang bowed and walked back.

After Chenxiang left, Xu Ming took the box back to the courtyard.

When you open the box, what comes to your face is the rich spiritual power.

Inside the box, which was divided into three layers, fifty high-quality spirit stones were neatly placed on the first and second layers, and five first-quality spirit fruits were placed on the third layer.

In the mortal world, the universal currency is real gold and silver.

However, in the world of immortal cultivation, although real gold and silver have a certain purchasing power, the most important currency is still spirit stones.

Spirit stones are divided into three types: low, medium and high, and the conversion ratio between them is one hundred to one.

That is to say, one high-grade spirit stone is equal to ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

As for the conversion relationship between spirit stones and mortal gold and silver, it is not so stable.

This is mainly determined by the "international situation" and also by the strength of each dynasty.

If the Fanchen Dynasty was stronger, then a low-grade spirit stone would be worth about one penny.

If it is a small country with relatively weaker strength, a low-grade spirit stone can be worth two cents or even ten cents.

Even if it is not exchangeable for legal tender such as copper coins.

The exchange of spirit stones for hard currencies such as silver and gold is also determined based on the relationship between the mortal world and the world of immortal cultivation.

Fan Chen is stronger and has a greater influence on the world of immortal cultivation. That top-grade spirit stone is equivalent to eight thousand taels of gold.

If the immortal world is close to crushing the mortal dynasty, then a top-grade spirit stone may even be worth more than ten thousand taels of gold.

The mortal world and the world of immortals are always in an inexplicable balance.

But no matter what, the fifty high-grade spirit stones that Xu Ming asked for from Xia Donghua at that time was really a huge ask, and it was certain that Xia Donghua felt the pain.

And these five first-grade spiritual fruits are also very precious. Each first-grade spiritual fruit is worth about one high-grade spiritual stone.

As for whether it is possible that the leader of Tianxuan Sect has poisoned this spiritual fruit.

This is impossible.

For spiritual fruits, the higher the grade, the purer they are.

If a first-grade spiritual fruit like this is poisoned, the spiritual power will become turbid. Not only will the color become turbid, it may even rot.

However, these five first-grade spiritual fruits were intact and crystal clear, and it was obvious that there was no problem at all.

Shen Shengsheng put his hands on the table, revealing half of his head. He blinked his big eyes at the spiritual fruits on the table, and saliva flowed from the corners of Shen Shengsheng's mouth.

Looking at Shen Shengsheng's greedy look, Xu Ming smiled and said, "Do you want to eat?"

Shen Shengsheng nodded, then shook his head heavily.

"It's okay, eat if you want."

Xu Ming picked out a spiritual fruit that looked like an apple for Shen Shengsheng. This spiritual fruit was called dragon fruit. It was very juicy, had a thin skin and thin flesh. You could even see the flesh inside through the skin.

Shen Shengsheng wanted to take it, but then retracted his hand.

"No need to be polite to me. If you give me a clay figurine, I will give you some fruit." Xu Ming said with a smile.

Shen Shengsheng hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist his greed, took the spiritual fruit, and started eating it with a crunch.

After eating, Shen Shengsheng burped and felt his stomach was bloated.

Xu Ming asked Shen Shengsheng to sit on the table, and then personally adjusted the spiritual power in her body.

Shen Shengsheng's realm is low, and the first-grade spiritual fruit contains too much spiritual power, which needs to be digested slowly.

After half an hour, Shen Shengsheng fell back. Xu Ming hugged Shen Shengsheng. The little girl in his arms had fallen asleep.

Xu Ming carried Shen Shengsheng to the bed and covered her with a blanket.

When Xu Ming was tucking the quilt for Shen Shengsheng, Xu Ming's hand froze for a moment: "It's not a good habit to come to someone else's house without knocking."

Behind Xu Ming, the girl in a black dress smiled charmingly: "If I knock on the door, how can I see Mr. Xu being so gentle?"
