My cultivation method shines upon all heavens.

Lu Ming's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he looked up abruptly.

On the alley wall, a thin young man was squatting on the wall.

The other person was dressed in a Taoist robe, with a yellow cloth tied around his wrist, and was smiling as he looked down at him.

"Who are you?"

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife.

"hey-hey……"

A playful smile appeared on the young man's face. "So you really have lost your memory?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared over the wall.

Only a faint sentence lingered in the alley:

"Since you're not dead, you can't escape our grasp... We'll meet again."

Lu Ming rushed out of the alley, but when he looked around, there was no one there.

The opponent's lightness skill was unbelievably fast, and he had already disappeared without a trace.

"Wearing a yellow turban and a Taoist robe... a Taoist priest from the Way of Peace?"

He frowned. "Do I know him?"

He shook his head.

Never mind, how many people would believe the words of a traitor?

He flashed and quickly disappeared into the twilight.

……

In the inner city, outside the Lu residence, in a secluded alley.

Wang Gang leaned against the wall, a straw hat hanging around his neck.

He stared at the gate of the Lu residence while idly cracking sunflower seeds.

A small pile of sunflower seed shells lay at his feet. He smacked his lips and muttered under his breath:

"Strange... Why do I keep feeling like I'm being watched lately? Am I spying on others, or are they spying on me?"

He spat out a sunflower seed shell while cursing, then suddenly shuddered.

A gust of wind swept past him, followed by a voice behind him:

"Brother Wang, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Wang Gang suddenly turned around, scattering the sunflower seeds he was holding all over the ground.

Upon seeing Lu Ming appear silently behind him, he instantly forced an awkward smile:

"Hahaha! It's Brother Lu Ming! No trouble at all, it's all my pleasure..."

His heart was already churning with turbulent emotions:

When did this kid arrive?

How did their strength increase so quickly?

Muscle building?

Bone forging?

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his palms were sweaty.

Lu Ming smiled noncommittally, took out a gold leaf from his pocket, and handed it over:

"Brother Wang, I'm away from home, please keep an eye on things for me."

Although Liu Zhiyuan had ill intentions, it was also a good thing for him.

With the backing of the upright magistrate of Yinhu County, even Wang An wouldn't dare to recklessly attack his family.

What he has to do is struggle to survive and keep getting stronger.

Then, wait for the right opportunity.

Wang Gang stiffly accepted the gold leaf, and after some initial hesitation, he finally stuffed it into his pocket.

As soon as Lu Ming walked away, he shuddered violently, as if waking from a nightmare, and leaned limply against the alley wall.

Oh no! I was hoping to make a name for myself by following Lord Liu, but now I might have offended another scoundrel.

He shrank his neck, pulled his straw hat over his face, and simply sat down against the wall, out of sight, out of mind.

Never mind, I'm just a conscientious gatekeeper of the Lu family mansion.

I know nothing.

……

Outside the main gate of the Lu residence, behind the pillars.

Zhang Wanjun, dressed in a white dress, stood there quietly.

His eyes, with their captivating golden vertical pupils, were silently fixed on the figure in the alley.

"Why aren't you inside?"

A gentle voice sounded from behind her.

Zhang Wanjun turned around abruptly, and when she saw Lu Ming's face, a flash of joy crossed her eyes.

She then seemed to remember something, and hurriedly raised her hands to cover her eyes, but couldn't help peeking out through her fingers, her voice tinged with trepidation:

"I...I came out to see...I'm all grown up now, and I need to protect my mother and aunt."

Lu Ming smiled slightly and gently rubbed the top of her head:

"It's okay. Your eyes are beautiful...no need to cover them."

Zhang Wanjun abruptly lowered her hand, her large eyes sparkling: "Really?"

"real."

Lu Ming chuckled softly, "It looks good. But don't show it off to others so easily in the future, understand?"

The little girl nodded seriously, her face tense, as if she were making a solemn promise.

Lu Ming smiled, took her hand, and pushed open the courtyard gate.

Several dishes were already set on the stone table in the courtyard, indicating that it was time to eat.

Shen Ru, who was chatting with Aunt Zhang, saw him and her face immediately lit up with a delighted smile.

"Why didn't you say you wanted to come back sooner?"

She muttered to herself as she hurriedly got up and added two more dishes to the kitchen.

A plate of braised beef and a plate of braised bamboo shoots are both dishes that Lu Ming loves to eat.

Before long, a table full of steaming hot food was laid out.

The four sat around the osmanthus tree, chatting idly under the moonlight, making the courtyard unusually lively.

"Big brother, I'll dance for you."

Zhang Wanjun seemed exceptionally happy. Halfway through the meal, she suddenly stood up and looked at Lu Ming with a charming expression.

"Oh? Xiao Wanjun also learned to dance?"

Lu Ming nodded with a slight smile on his lips and eyes full of laughter.

Shen Ru and Aunt Zhang also put down their chopsticks with smiles on their faces.

Soon, the little girl was dancing in the yard with great skill.

The moonlight fell on her white dress, flowing like quicksilver.

Lu Ming initially watched casually with a smile, but after a few moments, his expression gradually became serious.

Green Snake Hand, White Snake Crossing!

Xiao Wanjun's twisting body, shifting steps, and contorted waist clearly followed the style of "The White Snake Crossing the River".

No, it was more harmonious and natural than that, as if these postures were born from her.

Although it is still a little raw, it has a natural charm and is even more mysterious.

It makes one immediately aware of its extraordinary nature.

He had long noticed the abnormality in Xiao Wanjun, and now he was absolutely certain.

At that moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind:

With such high martial arts talent, what heights could he reach if he were to be nurtured with all his might?

"Wanjun danced so well."

He smiled and praised her, then got up and walked to the little girl's side, gently pointing out her movements.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanjun's eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.

Under Lu Ming's guidance, her movements became completely natural and she was fully immersed in the experience.

Her posture was graceful, like a startled swan, like a swimming dragon; her white dress fluttered and billowed in the moonlight, like a little fairy who had mistakenly fallen to earth.

Not only Lu Ming, but Shen Ru and Aunt Zhang were also dumbfounded.

Just then, Lu Ming's eyes suddenly twitched—

[Ding! Prodigies from all realms rise up, and all heavens pay homage to my attainment of the Dao...]

[In the vast Cangming World, Zhang Wanjun's bloodline is surging, entering a state of communion with heaven and earth. The scroll owner can use Heavenly Heart Points to help her revert to her ancestral state. Do you wish to use it?]

Lu Ming was taken aback.

The Vast World of Cangming?

So this is the name of the land beneath our feet.

Could the story of Wan Jun's ancestor encountering immortals, as recorded in the book, be true?

For a moment, his mind raced with a thousand thoughts, and his expression turned somewhat strange.

The Heavenly Heart Scroll, which reflects the heavens, is now reflecting right beside me.
