#370 - It seems that he doesn't care about anything in the world.

Night. Xu Ming was, as usual, sitting in his courtyard, placing the red longsword on his lap, quietly meditating.

Despite the fact that the Immortal Sword Red Sleeve showed no signs of awakening, Xu Ming still insisted on comprehending the sword every day to maintain his connection with the sword.

When the Immortal Sword Red Sleeve awakened, he could directly refine it into his Natal Flying Sword, without needing an adaptation period.

But speaking of which, when exactly was this big sister going to wake up?

He had so, so many questions he wanted to ask.

Moreover, this big sister was practically a know-it-all; if he had any questions, he could directly ask her.

After all, as the saying goes, 'An old person in the family is like a treasure.'

Not to mention that this big sister had lived from ancient times to the present, which was more than just a 'treasure'.

If he were to encounter any danger, this big sister from ancient times would definitely be able to give him advice.

After a long while, Xu Ming felt that his sword comprehension was almost complete, slowly opened his eyes, and deeply exhaled a breath of stale air.

Xu Ming put away the longsword and then practiced a round of boxing.

Not only the sword path, but the martial path must not be neglected either.

However, Xu Ming felt that in these past few days, his Qi Refiner realm and Martial Artist realm had both fallen into bottlenecks.

But Xu Ming was not worried; his realm had risen too quickly before, mainly due to experiencing many life-and-death situations.

Now that his life was relatively peaceful, without so many life-and-death experiences, it was normal for his realm advancement to slow down, which was a good time to consolidate his foundation.

After completing his cultivation tasks for the day, Xu Ming took a shower in the courtyard.

That's right, you could take a shower in Dragon City.

Although it was underwater, surrounded by seawater, in reality, Dragon City was almost the same as being on land; you couldn't feel the flow of seawater.

The entire Dragon City was like a place where all the water had been drained away.

In Dragon City, even though it was underwater, you could still make tea and boil water.

But if you felt carefully, you could feel the subtle flow of water around you.

Xu Ming didn't know what was going on; perhaps it was because of the formation, because when he left Dragon City, the feeling was different, like being truly underwater.

Xu Ming planned to return to his room for a sleep, and then ask about the North Sea Nether Abyss tomorrow; what kind of place was it? How dangerous was it? Otherwise, the Dragon Queen wouldn't have told him to take care of himself.

But the only problem was that he was unfamiliar with this place; it didn't seem right to ask anyone.

As for the Wu Kingdom officials who came with him to the Dragon Palace, they didn't know what kind of place the North Sea Abyss was either.

Their understanding of the North Sea was not much different from his own; they only knew that the North Sea Dragon Queen was beautiful and extremely powerful.

In other words, those guys were really just here for sightseeing.

"I should go ask that Turtle Sir; perhaps he knows."

Xu Ming thought in his heart, although his relationship with Prime Minister Turtle was only limited to receiving him.

But no matter what, even a little bit of acquaintance was still something.

Moreover, he wasn't asking about anything too private or secretive.

He would bring some gifts tomorrow, pay a polite visit, and maybe he would tell him.

Otherwise, who else could he ask? He couldn't just go ask the Dragon Queen, could he?

Now that she had confirmed that he was not the reincarnation of her old lover, it could be said that she had completely lost interest in him; it was another matter whether she would even see him.

"Da da da."

Just as Xu Ming opened the door to enter his room, the courtyard door was knocked.

Xu Ming curiously glanced outside the courtyard, wondering who would come looking for him so late.

Xu Ming opened the courtyard door and saw a man wearing a white deer academy robe standing in front of him.

The man looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a gentle smile on his face.

Xu Ming even saw a hint of appreciation in the man's eyes.

However, Xu Ming didn't recognize this man at all.

"May I ask who you are?" Xu Ming cupped his hands in greeting.

"My name is Lu Xiaoliu, a disciple of the White Deer Academy and a friend of Mo Chi. We were classmates when Mo Chi was at the White Deer Academy. May I ask if you are Xu Ming of Wu Kingdom?" Lu Xiaoliu returned the greeting.

"Yes, I am Xu Ming." Xu Ming nodded. "I didn't expect you to be Mr. Xiao's classmate. Senior Uncle Lu, please come in quickly."

Xu Ming felt that the other party was not a bad person; even if he was a bad person, he wouldn't dare do anything in the Dragon Palace, unless he didn't want to live.

Not to mention that the other party said he was Mr. Xiao's classmate.

Strictly speaking, Mr. Xiao was his teacher, and the other party could be considered his Senior Uncle.

"Hahaha, then I'll disturb you." Lu Xiaoliu was not polite and stepped into Xu Ming's courtyard.

Xu Ming boiled a pot of water for Lu Xiaoliu, brewed a cup of tea, and pushed the teacup in front of Lu Xiaoliu.

"Thank you." Lu Xiaoliu took the teacup and took a sip, making a "tsk tsk" sound, very satisfied. "This North Sea Dragon Palace seaweed tea is inherently delicate and smooth, coupled with Senior Nephew Xu's tea art, it's truly an enjoyment. Could it be that Mo Chi also taught Senior Nephew Xu this tea art?"

Xu Ming smiled: "Senior Uncle Lu is too kind. My tea-making skills are far inferior to Mr. Xiao's."

Xu Ming poured another cup of tea for Lu Xiaoliu and politely asked, "I wonder why Senior Uncle Lu has come to find this junior?"

Lu Xiaoliu drank another cup of tea, not being polite with Xu Ming at all: "This time, your Senior Uncle, I was called by the Dean to visit the Dragon Palace, and then I heard that Senior Nephew Xu was also here. I often hear of Senior Nephew Xu's reputation, and I was wondering what kind of junior Mo Chi's student was like, so I came to take a look."

As he spoke, Lu Xiaoliu smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not here to borrow money or ask for favors."

Xu Ming shook his head: "Senior Uncle Lu is joking."

This Senior Uncle Lu really seemed like a "relative" who doesn't contact you usually, and then suddenly comes to climb relations. Usually, these kinds of relatives are either asking for favors or borrowing money.

But Xu Ming felt that this Senior Brother Lu was a little different.

This Senior Brother Lu...

Always gave him a sense of "whatever" indifference.

It was as if he didn't care about anything in the world.
