#256 - It's not easy

"Has Young Master Xu told Miss Qin about our shared pleasure?"

"I suppose not."

"Young Master Xu probably wouldn't dare tell Miss Qin about something like that, would he…?"

"But then again, how long does the Young Master intend to keep it from her? And if that fairy, Miss Qin, finds out, what will she think of the Young Master?"

Mo Zhu'er smiled as she looked at Xu Ming, her words gently caressing Xu Ming's cheek, while her other hand had already slipped into Xu Ming's chest.

That bone-corroding charm began to invade Xu Ming's body through Mo Zhu'er's spiritual power.

Xu Ming recited the Three Gods Mind-Clearing Incantation in his heart.

Sure enough, the Three Gods Mind-Clearing Incantation effectively resisted Mo Zhu'er's intrusion into Xu Ming's consciousness.

"Oh?" Mo Zhu'er blinked her eyes lightly. "It seems Young Master Xu really gained a lot of good things from his trip to Three Stone Peak. I wonder who taught Young Master a technique that can resist me."

"Take your hand out," Xu Ming said coldly.

"Are you really going to make me take my hand out?" Mo Zhu'er's lips curved into a smile. "Aren't you afraid I'll tell that fairy, Miss Qin, about us?"

Xu Ming closed his eyes and slowly said, "If you want to tell her, then go ahead. Indeed, I was the one who did wrong, and I will naturally bear all the consequences myself. You don't need to use this to threaten me.

If you think you can make me do everything you want by doing this, then you're too naive."

"Hehe… Young Master, how can you say that? Am I the kind of person who likes to threaten others? Since Young Master doesn't want me to tell anyone about this, then I certainly won't."

Mo Zhu'er chuckled and pressed her small hand against Xu Ming's heart. "Besides, it's a little exciting to secretly do some naughty things behind your childhood sweetheart's back, don't you think?"

Xu Ming's heart pounded violently.

In just an instant, the defense constructed by the Three Gods Mind-Clearing Incantation completely collapsed.

That bone-corroding charm continued to invade Xu Ming's heart, and it was even more intense.

Xu Ming didn't even have time to react.

Gradually losing his rationality, Xu Ming's breathing became heavier and heavier. The look in his eyes as he looked at Mo Zhu'er was full of possessiveness.

In the end, Xu Ming, who had lost his mind, pulled Mo Zhu'er into his arms and tore at her clothes.

Soon, Mo Zhu'er was pressed onto the table, her back facing Xu Ming.

"Young Master Xu is really rough."

"Is Young Master Xu this rough with Miss Qin too?"

"Oh ~ that's right, Miss Qin probably hasn't been touched by Young Master yet, has she?"

Even though Mo Zhu'er was supporting herself on the table with both hands, her mouth was still relentless, constantly provoking Xu Ming.

Later on, Mo Zhu'er really didn't have any strength left and could only bite her lip tightly.

Half an hour later, the courtyard was already a mess.

Shreds of clothing were everywhere.

Mo Zhu'er stood up, changed into a set of clothes, and then waved her hand, collecting the shreds of clothing in the courtyard.

"Young Master Xu, why have you become so rough lately?" Mo Zhu'er kissed Xu Ming's forehead. "But I like it."

After she finished speaking, Mo Zhu'er turned and left.

Xu Ming, who had regained his senses, tidied up his clothes and sighed again.

Xu Ming thought the Three Gods Mind-Clearing Incantation would be useful.

But who knew that Mo Zhu'er's heart-devouring charm was even more powerful.

However, what Xu Ming found strange was that this time when Mo Zhu'er cultivated with him, there seemed to be a fire suppressed in her heart.

At first, Xu Ming was the one taking the initiative, but later on, Mo Zhu'er took the initiative herself.

Moreover, in her words, she couldn't stop mentioning Qing Wan, and he didn't know what medicine she had taken.

Xu Ming rearranged the overturned coffee table in the courtyard and carried Sheng Sheng, who was sleeping in the corner, into the room.

Xu Ming sat in the courtyard and meditated.

In the evening, Sheng Sheng woke up from the bed and walked into the courtyard in a daze.

At this time, it was just about mealtime, and the Tianxuan Sect's maidservant brought dinner over.

After Sheng Sheng finished eating dinner, she felt even more sleepy.

What was strange was that she had just woken up.

Early the next morning, Shen Sheng Sheng still hadn't woken up. Xu Ming carried Shen Sheng Sheng out of the courtyard. Wu Yanhuan and a woman were standing outside the door waiting.

"This is my personal guard—Ren, a Yuanyou Realm martial artist, a Golden Body Realm martial artist. She will send Sheng Sheng back to Wudu, so you can rest assured," Wu Yanhuan said to Xu Ming.

"I have met the Civil and Military Minister," the woman said with a cupped fist.

Xu Ming nodded in return: "Then I will have to trouble you, Miss."

Ren: "The Civil and Military Minister is being too polite."

"What's wrong with Sheng Sheng?" Wu Yanhuan looked at Sheng Sheng in Xu Ming's arms.

Xu Ming smiled and shook his head: "Sheng Sheng will definitely not agree if I let Sheng Sheng leave. Not to mention, in this regard, the two of you have quite similar tempers, so I gave Sheng Sheng a sleeping pill. This sleeping pill can make Sheng Sheng sleep for seven days. It's okay not to eat or drink for these seven days."

Xu Ming handed Sheng Sheng to Ren, who caught her with both hands and held her in her arms.

"Sheng Sheng is entrusted to you, Miss," Xu Ming took off the jade pendant from his waist and placed it in Sheng Sheng's arms. "When Sheng Sheng wakes up, she should be very frightened. At that time, Miss can show this jade pendant to Sheng Sheng, and Sheng Sheng will believe you."

"Please rest assured, Civil and Military Minister, I will definitely send Miss Sheng Sheng to the Xu Mansion as soon as possible," Ren said in a deep voice.

Xu Ming bowed in salute.

Ren turned around and left the courtyard with Sheng Sheng in her arms.

"Are you relieved now?" Wu Yanhuan asked after Sheng Sheng was sent away.

"Not relieved," Xu Ming looked at Wu Yanhuan. "If you and Qing Wan don't leave, I still won't be relieved."

Wu Yanhuan turned her head away: "You should worry about your childhood sweetheart."

"Speaking of which, the Zixia Grand Ceremony is in a few days. Is your childhood sweetheart still in seclusion?" Wu Yanhuan asked suspiciously.

Xu Ming: "Qing Wan came out of seclusion yesterday. I have also told her about the matter. Now we are waiting for Elder Wang Xuan's answer."

Wu Yanhuan: "Aren't you afraid that Wang Xuan will stand on Xia He's side?"

"It's possible, but the possibility is not high," Xu Ming sighed helplessly. "Besides, in the Tianxuan Sect, besides Xia He, only Wang Xuan has appeal. What I'm worried about is not whether Wang Xuan will stand on the side of the Tianxuan Sect Master, but how many people are colluding with the Tianxuan Sect Master? Can Wang Xuan tell them apart?"

"That's true, it's not easy to distinguish these people."

Just as Xu Ming and Wu Yanhuan were discussing, a solemn female voice came over.

Xu Ming and Qin Qingwan turned their heads at the same time and looked over.

Wang Xuan walked towards the courtyard step by step with her hands clasped in front of her.
