These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Upon seeing Wei Tu appear at the door, Ming Xiangrong's face showed a faint smile.

"That's the power of curiosity. Perhaps Young Master Wei considers himself a cautious person, but caution and curiosity are not in conflict at all."

Wei Tu calmly observed Ming Xiangrong's actions and spoke.

"It's alright. I am indeed curious, but of course, it's not just what you told me before that I'm curious about."

"What else? Me?"

Ming Xiangrong seemed to understand the boy's thoughts very well.

Wei Tu had gotten used to it. If the initial mutual probing and concealment were necessary, then now it seemed that the persistence was gone.

If she wanted to harm me, she wouldn't deliberately make contact with me like this.

This is far too obvious; it goes beyond mere arrogance and conceit.

"Miss Ming is indeed a very mysterious person."

Wei Tu admitted to the matter and then sat down opposite Ming Xiangrong. At the same time, Ming Xiangrong pushed her teacup in front of Wei Tu.

Is it possible that mystery is just a tactic?

"means?"

“That’s right. How can a woman like me, with such an unexpected encounter and such ordinary looks, keep Young Master Wei looking forward to me? Mystery is very important.”

This statement was somewhat ambiguous, and even though the other person's expression was nonchalant and their faint smile prevented any major misunderstandings.

Wei Tu picked up the teacup and first smelled the tea. As expected of the tea from the Mingfu, the aroma was refreshing and the slight moisture entering through the nose made it feel like the lungs were being moisturized.

"Sometimes mystery can be intimidating. What if I keep my distance from you?"

Ming Xiangrong thought for a moment, "Isn't it now considered keeping a respectful distance?"

"...At least you invite me every time you ask, right?"

Wei Tu sighed, seemingly having also noticed this. She always found a way to get him to keep the appointment, coming up with new tricks each time, while he knew very little about her motives.

He had no memory of this woman even in his previous life.

Ming Xiangrong smiled, revealing her teeth. Although her face was ordinary, her teeth were very neat and clean, and they seemed to shine in the sunlight.

"Isn't this because my methods are clever?"

"Indeed, I admire you."

"Alright, let's get down to business."

This time, it was Ming Xiangrong who took the initiative to bring up serious matters, which surprised Wei Tu.

He put down his teacup and looked over.

The other person took out a bamboo tube from their sleeve. When the bamboo tube was pulled out, there was a piece of paper inside. When the paper was unfolded, it turned out to be a map.

"This is……"

Wei Tu's gaze was quickly drawn to it.

Ming Xiangrong smiled and said, "This is a map of the area from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to Chechi Kingdom."

Wei Tu frowned and looked at Ming Xiangrong, "How do you have this?"

Ming Xiangrong smiled and said, "I always manage to get my hands on things you wouldn't expect. These things are useless to many people, but I collect them, and they might come in handy someday."

"But how do you know these things will work for me?"

Wei Tu squinted at her.

Ming Xiangrong calmly replied, "Perhaps... it's just a guess?"

"That excuse is rather clumsy and not like you at all."

Ming Xiangrong said angrily, "So, Young Master Wei never believed what I said before, did he?"

Wei Tu laughed, "It's not that bad. It's just like you said, we all need to maintain our mystery and be vigilant."

Ming Xiangrong composed herself and pushed the map towards Wei Tu.

"So, Young Master Wei, please accept this."

Wei Tu did not take it immediately, but said, "Miss Ming is a person who likes to do business, and some things are not so easy to take."

Ming Xiangrong shook her head.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, he said, "Some deals were already made a long time ago. If I had to say, this would be considered an exchange I made in advance."

"What deal?"

Ming Xiangrong smiled and said, "You'll find out later."

The inexplicable conversation, the inexplicable transaction, all ended in an inexplicable atmosphere.

Although Wei Tu did not understand the meaning of the other party's transaction, he still put away the map.

It's not that I need it, but that someone else needs it.

After leaving Ming Xiangrong's residence, he quickly returned to the palace.

He handed the map to Ye Bingluan and told her about their conversation.

Ye Bingluan had no further clues.

Clearly, she doesn't know Ming Xiangrong any better than Wei Tu does.

She simply looked at Wei Tu and asked, "What do you think her purpose is?"

Wei Tu shook his head.

Ye Bingluan seemed to be deep in thought.

"It seems my trip to Chechi Kingdom will affect something big. You need to be careful in Xianzhou. Things are not as simple as you think."

The boy smiled and nodded.

"I have never thought of things simply."

"Stinky fart."

Ye Bingluan snorted coldly.

Wei Tu smiled.

"Alright, I'll head back now. Take care of yourself here, and write to me if anything happens."

Ye Bingluan watched the boy's retreating figure, as if he was about to leave gracefully.

At that moment, she reached out and grabbed the boy's sleeve.

Wei Tu was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

Ye Bingluan raised her head, her face slightly flushed, yet she exuded an arrogant and haughty air, like a supreme emperor.

"You will serve me tonight."

"???"

112 has been found, there's no mistake.

Why are you looking at me like that?

The girl beside him had been staring at his face the whole way, from inside Chaoge City to outside the city.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Wei Tu was starting to feel the strain.

Xu Qingtan snorted coldly.

"Look at your face... you look like a ghost that's been hollowed out."

Wei Tu knew, of course, that his complexion shouldn't be like this. Neither his God-Gazing Realm cultivation nor the physique created by the Evil Dragon's essence blood should have resulted in such a situation.

The other party was merely speculating about his relationship with Ye Bingluan.

Actually, Wei Tu wasn't that worried, but... why was this kid always paying attention to these things?

It makes me seem particularly disrespectful to my elders.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Is this how you treat your senior brother?"

"I don't have such a jerk of a senior brother."

The girl snorted coldly, her long hair swaying wildly.

Seeing the girl walking ahead in a huff, Wei Tu chuckled and reached out to grab her flowing hair.

"Now you're calling me an idiot, huh? Then give me back everything I gave you."

"What do you mean 'your things'... What have you given me! Let go!"

With her face flushed, the girl struggled fiercely, looking extremely angry.

Wei Tu did indeed let go of her hand, but she said with a smile.

"Don't those cultivation pills count? Don't those sword manuals count? Don't the principles I taught you count?"

Xu Qingtan's momentum immediately weakened.

She stomped her foot, like a charming young girl.

He was inherently cold, but his emotions, which had plummeted to freezing point due to his habitual persecution, seemed to be slowly melting away. However, Xu Qingtan himself might not have realized this.

"You've already given it to me, so it's mine. There's no reason for me to take it back!"

"Wow, I never expected that the little white rabbit would turn into a female bandit."

"You talented bandit! You are! I've already taken all those pills, otherwise I'd spit them out and give them back to you, wouldn't I? I've already read those sword manuals, why would I give them back to you!"

Wei Tu said with a smile, "Spit out the pills, or dig out the brains from the sword manual."

"screw you!!"

Xu Qingtan was furious and wanted to make a move, but his senior brother was still his senior brother, and he casually reached out and grabbed the girl's wrist.

He squinted at Xu Qingtan, who was unable to break free.

"They're already trying to murder their senior brother? What a misfortune for our sect!"

"You won't let go..."
