#137 - Tonight! Follow me!

After Xu Ming and Qin Qingwan finished their lunch, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Qin Qingwan originally wanted to spend more time with Xu Ming and take another look at the White Moon Pond in Baiwa City.

Qin Qingwan heard the local people of Baiwa City say that at night, the White Moon Pond is as bright as the moon, as beautiful as a painting.

However, on Qin Qingwan's jade token, her fellow disciple Xia Donghua was already urging Qin Qingwan, saying that a very important meeting of the human race was about to be held.

Qin Qingwan was quite unhappy in her heart.

She hadn't had enough fun yet.

But she couldn't very well not go.

"Forget it, it's okay, there's still plenty of time in the future, and I really need to go back and prepare that magic array."

Qin Qingwan could only persuade herself in her heart like this.

"Xu Ming, I have to go back." Qin Qingwan probably didn't even notice that she had already changed from calling him "Young Master Xu" to "Xu Ming."

"Alright, then let's part ways here. I'll have to trouble the lady with the matter of the magic array," Xu Ming said with a cupped fist salute.

Qin Qingwan: "Just like that?"

Xu Ming: "Huh?"

"What I mean is," Qin Qingwan took a step forward, "You're just leaving like that? Not even going to see me off?"

Xu Ming: "."

"Then shall I see the lady back to the inn?" Xu Ming asked.

"Mm~ Let's go." Qin Qingwan was not polite at all, and happily walked forward.

Looking at the girl's lighthearted appearance, Xu Ming couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Junior Sister, you're finally back. Our Human Race Alliance meeting is about to begin. This meeting is very important."

When Xu Ming escorted Qin Qingwan to the downstairs of the inn where she was staying, a man came out.

Xu Ming remembered this man.

This man was the son of the Heavenly Xuan Sect's Sect Master, a proper second-generation cultivator.

"This brother is?" Xia Donghua looked at Xu Ming beside Qin Qingwan, his brows slightly furrowed, and a bit of vigilance arose in his heart.

He had heard early in the morning that his junior sister had dressed up beautifully and gone out. It was very rare for Dugu Qiu to say someone was beautiful.

And now, his junior sister was standing with a man.

Furthermore, no matter how lively and friendly his junior sister's personality was, she would maintain a certain distance from the opposite sex.

But his junior sister was very close to this man, the two people's shoulders were almost touching.

In Xia Donghua's impression, this was unprecedented.

"Wu Country, Xu Ming," Xu Ming said with a cupped fist salute.

"Xu Ming..." Xia Donghua muttered this name, feeling a bit familiar.

"Could it be that Brother Xu is the Xu Ming who wrote 'Butterfly Loves Flowers' and 'Resignation of Marriage'?" Xia Donghua thought.

"Indeed," Xu Ming didn't expect to be so famous.

It was normal for the people of White Deer Academy to know him, because he was famous for his articles, and the White Deer Academy had special people to collect excellent articles and poems from all over the world.

But he was surprised that people from the Heavenly Xuan Sect, people from the mountains, had heard of his name.

"I've met Brother Xu, my name is Xia Donghua, my father is Xia Hai of the Heavenly Xuan Sect," Xia Donghua returned the salute.

"I've long admired your name," Xu Ming said politely, but in fact, Xu Ming had never heard of it.

"Junior Sister and Brother Xu, this is?" Xia Donghua only vaguely knew about Xu Ming's literary talent, knew that Wu Country had produced a rare talent who was both literary and martial, but he didn't know the relationship between Xu Ming and Qin Qingwan.

"I had some things to find Xu Ming today," Qin Qingwan said as a matter of course, turned to look at Xu Ming, and said with a smile, "Alright, you can send me here, go back, I'll go find you again tomorrow, and also, you can't not reply to my messages oh~".

"Okay," Xu Ming nodded, then saluted Xia Donghua again, "Then Brother Xia, I'll take my leave."

"Young Master Xu is not in a hurry to leave, our Human Race Alliance in Baiwa City is about to hold a meeting, Brother Xu, would you like to come and listen?" Xia Donghua asked.

Xia Donghua felt very uneasy.

Not only in Baiwa City, but also in the Heavenly Xuan Sect, he had gone to find his junior sister several times, wanting to invite her out together, but all of them were rejected.

But now, his junior sister would actually take the initiative to find a man.

"No need," Before Xu Ming could open his mouth, Qin Qingwan helped Xu Ming reject Xia Donghua, "Xu Ming, you go back and rest, if there's anything, I'll tell you tomorrow."

Just kidding, what if Xu Ming stayed in the inn and other people greeted her, exposing her identity?

"That's what I was thinking too," Xu Ming nodded, "If there's anything you need help with, just tell me, I'll help if I can."

Xu Ming said it this way, but whether he would actually help or not, he would have to see when the time came.

Both sides knew this kind of polite talk.

"Alright, Brother Xu, walk slowly," Xia Donghua was a little unhappy in his heart, feeling that this Xu Ming had not given him face.

After Xu Ming turned around and left, Xia Donghua wanted to get closer to Qin Qingwan and ask her where she had gone today, to find out what relationship she had with Xu Ming.

However, before Xia Donghua could open his mouth, Qin Qingwan smiled and pulled away, walking into the inn.

The entire inn was once again chartered by human cultivators.

Everyone's faces were a little heavy.

In the past two days, several more pillars of light had fallen in Baiwa City, and more than a dozen human cultivators had disappeared one after another, their fate unknown.

Everyone didn't know if the next person would be themselves.

Qin Qingwan glanced at everyone and found an empty seat to sit down.

Although Xia Donghua still cared about the relationship between Qin Qingwan and Xu Ming, Xia Donghua knew that he had more important things to do.

Xia Donghua walked to the very front of everyone.

The small and fragmented discussions in the inn gradually disappeared, and everyone's eyes gradually turned to Xia Donghua.

Xia Donghua looked at everyone: "I know what you are thinking in your hearts. In the past two days, many human cultivators have disappeared, and the same is true for the demon race.

None of us know if the next person to disappear will be ourselves.

I have gathered everyone here today because I have found a way to leave!"

As Xia Donghua's voice fell, everyone's eyes lit up.

Xia Donghua looked at everyone:

"At noon, two cultivators from the Heavenly Yin Sect told me that the place where the spiritual power of Baiwa City converges is in the Toad Temple of Baiwa City!

Therefore, in that Toad Temple, there may even be a hidden treasure of Baiwa City!

Putting aside the treasure, as long as we open up the Toad Temple and set up a spirit stone void array inside! We can leave!

Anyone who wants to leave this damn place, or wants to seize the treasure.

Tonight! Come with me!"

I've encountered too many things this month.

First, tendinitis, then I was rear-ended while driving, and my waist hurt for many days, and it's only gotten better now.

I moved yesterday, so I didn't have time to update.

Ah.

I really want to have a peaceful life where I don't have to worry about anything.

Let's work hard next month.
