#200 - This road is wide.

"Tomorrow?"

Xu Ming was a little confused by Yue Lou's meaning.

Logically speaking, Yue Lou should have waited for Qing Wan to come out of seclusion before letting Qing Wan take him into the Heavenly Profound Gate to avoid trouble.

But now, Yue Lou actually wants to let him enter the Heavenly Profound Gate directly?

Xu Ming couldn't figure this out.

Yue Lou looked at Xu Ming's puzzled appearance and finally didn't want to hide it anymore.

Yue Lou sighed: "Young Master Xu, it's like this, the Zixia Grand Ceremony this time, to a large extent, affects the selection of the future Holy Son and Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Profound Gate.

The Four Great Sacred Grounds will select a pair of Holy Sons and Holy Maidens, which is two people.

But the Heavenly Profound Gate is different, or rather, most sects in the world only have a Holy Son or a Holy Maiden, except for outliers like the Black Lotus Sect.

This is mainly because other sects don't have the excess resources like the Four Great Sacred Grounds.

The Heavenly Profound Gate will not have a Holy Son if there is a Holy Maiden, and will not have a Holy Maiden if there is a Holy Son.

The benefit of doing this is to concentrate resources on the Holy Son or Holy Maiden, and also to prevent the emergence of factions, causing the Heavenly Profound Gate to fall into internal strife."

Xu Ming nodded: "I understand this, it's equivalent to the dynasty establishing a Crown Prince, right? It's just that mortals can only establish a man as the Crown Prince, but in the cultivation world, the capable reside in it, and it has nothing to do with gender."

"Yes, yes, that's roughly the meaning." Hearing Xu Ming give this example, Yue Lou felt that it suddenly became clear, and he didn't need to explain too much, thinking that scholars are so smart.

Yue Lou then directly stated the main point: "If there are no accidents, this Zixia Grand Ceremony will select a Holy Son or a Holy Maiden, and the personal disciples of each peak and hall of the Heavenly Profound Gate have the most opportunities.

Among them, the most likely are Martial Uncle Qin, Senior Brother Xia, and Senior Brother Feng, a total of six people."

Xu Ming felt that he understood what Yue Lou wanted him to do, and continued:

"I seem to know what Miss Yue wants to say.

To become a Holy Maiden, reputation is indispensable.

I am a guest personally invited by Qing Wan, but now I am turned away, which will undoubtedly damage Qing Wan's reputation if it spreads out.

Many cultivators will also consider—Qin Qing Wan is such a weak person, even her guests are turned away, she can't even protect one person, whether she can lead the future Heavenly Profound Gate in the future.

Furthermore, my reputation is not good, but Qing Wan is very close to me, and it is estimated that many cultivators have criticisms, thinking that Qing Wan is making friends carelessly.

So Miss Yue wants me to show my strength, at least to let others see—I, Xu Ming, am not a speculator who takes advantage of others, and in terms of strength, I am definitely worthy of the White Wawa Secret Realm.

After all, in the cultivation world, strength is everything. People without strength, unless they have a strong background, have basically been reincarnated.

When you have a certain strength, there will naturally be great Confucians to argue for you."

Yue Lou looked at Xu Ming in surprise, her mouth slightly open, and her eyes blinked.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Xu Ming asked.

"No." Yue Lou shook her head, "What Young Master said is what I thought, but I didn't expect that Young Master is so powerful, he guessed the reason all at once, or does Young Master know mind reading?"

Xu Ming smiled and said: "I don't know mind reading. It's not that difficult to guess. However, I can go to the Heavenly Profound Gate with Miss Yue tomorrow. I don't want to cause a bad influence on Qing Wan, but doing so is not good for Miss Yue, right? Isn't Miss Yue afraid of being targeted by the disciples of the sect?"

"Not afraid." Yue Lou also smiled, "Martial Uncle Qin saved my life in an outing experience. This life of mine originally belongs to Martial Uncle Qin. Besides, when Martial Uncle Qin becomes the Holy Maiden in the future, won't Martial Uncle Qin be able to protect me?"

"Hehe, Miss Yue is indeed very insightful, this path can be considered widened." Xu Ming praised.

"Isn't it ~" Yue Lou knew that Young Master Xu was joking with her, and also smiled.

In Xu Ming's view, Qin Qing Wan has a high probability of becoming the Holy Maiden, and Yue Lou has invested in the right person.

But in Yue Lou's heart, although Yue Lou unconditionally supports Qin Qing Wan, she feels that Martial Uncle Qin still has some difficulty in becoming the Holy Maiden.

"Then I will trouble Miss Yue to take me there tomorrow." Xu Ming said.

"Please rest assured, Young Master, I will arrange everything for Young Master tomorrow, and try not to let any fights happen, and definitely will not affect Young Master's injuries." Yue Lou said.

"Okay." Xu Ming nodded.

In fact, whether or not a fight will happen is not something that an inner disciple like Yue Lou can decide.

But Xu Ming didn't think it was anything.

What? Does the Heavenly Profound Gate really dare to kill the top scorer of the Wu Kingdom?

In order to thank Xu Ming, Yue Lou went to help Xu Ming get the prescription, and said that she would boil the medicine and bring it to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming did not refuse.

Appropriately accepting other people's kindness can make them feel more at ease.

"Go play, I'll recuperate."

Xu Ming patted Shen Sheng Sheng's head, who was lying on his lap.

"Mmm."

Shen Sheng Sheng stood up straight and went to the flower garden in the courtyard to watch the ants.

After spending so much time with Shen Sheng Sheng, Xu Ming also discovered Shen Sheng Sheng's somewhat strange hobby—watching ants.

Xu Ming closed his eyes and rested, adjusting the martial artist's true energy and spiritual power in his body.

But as soon as Xu Ming closed his eyes, when he was about to enter meditation, the scene of himself and Mo Zhu'er having intimate relations in the Mandarin Duck Cauldron popped up in Xu Ming's mind.

Xu Ming sighed softly.

Once you taste it, you'll know the sweetness.

After tasting it, you will definitely miss it, especially for a vigorous martial artist like himself.

Not to mention a woman of Mo Zhu'er's level.

The ecstasy of that first pleasure may even make a man lose interest in any other woman.

That's why most martial artists are forbidden from breaking their bodies before entering the third realm of martial artists. This is not only because the leakage of Yang energy will damage the foundation of martial artists.

It's also because the more martial artists go on, the more vigorous their blood energy becomes. Once you have tasted that taste, you will miss it more and more.

And if there is a first time, there will be a second time. When you can't control your desires, the blood energy will continue to leak out. One step wrong, every step wrong, and finally you may not be able to enter the Heroic Soul Realm.

Fortunately, he has entered the Heroic Soul Realm and no longer has that restriction.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ming's distracting thoughts.

But just as Xu Ming was about to enter meditation again, the system's voice sounded in Xu Ming's mind.

Looking at the rewards provided by the system, Xu Ming was stunned.

What is this?
