"You said you'd be back in two months, and it's already been more than half a year!"
"There's not even a message. I thought you were kidnapped to Xingluo!"
"…"
In Tang Yuehua's room, Xuan Ming sat obediently, listening to her mumbling.
After a long while, Tang Yuehua finally stopped talking until her mouth was dry and she sat down on the chair.
"Don't get excited, drink some water first." Xuan Ming handed Tang Yuehua a cup of tea.
Tang Yuehua rolled her eyes at Xuan Ming in anger, took the teacup, and placed it heavily on the table, "Was he kidnapped by some girl?"
"Where's the person? Why don't you bring him back for me to see?"
"You misunderstood." Xuan Ming said.
"Misunderstanding?" Tang Yuehua frowned.
"Where have you been for the past six months? You couldn't have gotten lost in Xingluo, right?"
Xuan Ming's expression froze, "I'm not lost, it was all accidents before."
"Yes, yes, it was all an accident. Even someone could get lost in Tiandou City." Tang Yuehua took a sip of tea.
"Tell me, why is there no news at all? There's no news from the Royal Fighting Team about you either. Qin Ming said you went to Soto City, but I contacted the students there, and after investigating, they said you disappeared a long time ago."
Xuan Ming thought for a moment and explained, "I went to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt for the fourth soul ring. It took me more than a month, and then I went to Soto City. Qin Ming said that his former school, Shrek Academy, is there. If I have the chance, I can go and take a look."
"Shrek? The academy founded by the four-eyed owl Flanders?" Tang Yuehua said.
"Yeah." Xuan Ming nodded.
"But the information I received is that you are not in Shrek Academy." Tang Yuehua said.
Xuan Ming paused, "I met someone."
Tang Yuehua raised her eyebrows and came closer, "Which girl is it this time?"
Xuan Ming sighed, "Tang Hao."
"Tang Hao? Whose aunt is she..." Tang Yuehua's expression changed.
"Tang Hao? Which Tang Hao?"
"The man holding the hammer and having nine soul rings." Xuan Ming said.
Tang Yuehua's body jolted violently, and she nearly lost control of the teacup in her hand, spilling a few drops of scalding tea onto the hem of her skirt. She was completely oblivious, staring intently at Xuan Ming, her voice trembling.
"You...you met Tang Hao? He...he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"I had a fight with him." Xuan Ming said.
"Then..."
"A fight?!" Tang Yuehua screamed in shock and subconsciously pulled Xuan Ming's collar.
"Are...are you okay?"
Xuan Ming quickly stopped Tang Yuehua from tearing off her clothes.
"I was injured a little, but I'm healed now."
"Master Xuan, are you okay?" Upon hearing the noise, Butler Ode hurried over.
"It's okay, Butler Ode, just go and get busy." Tang Yuehua tried her best to calm herself down.
Even though Xuan Ming is gifted, he is only a Soul Sect after all, while Tang Hao is a Titled Douluo!
Moreover, Tang Hao had no sense of restraint when he attacked!
"You... have you been recuperating during this time?" Tang Yuehua frowned, her eyes full of worry.
"Yeah." Xuan Ming nodded.
"Why would he attack you..." Tang Yuehua's expression was a little complicated, and she held Xuan Ming tightly with both hands.
"It's me..." Xuan Ming opened his mouth and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Tang Yuehua again.
"Did you tell him about me?" Tang Yuehua asked.
"If he knew your relationship with me, he wouldn't have done anything to you."
Three years ago, Xuan Ming was openly wooed by the Pope of the Spirit Hall at the All-Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition. Xuan Ming even often went to the Spirit Hall during that period, which caused some bad rumors. Even the royal family was worried that Xuan Ming would be wooed over by the Spirit Hall.
If Tang Hao heard this news, he would most likely attack Xuan Ming in revenge against the Spirit Hall!
"I said it." Xuan Ming said.
"He still hits you after you told him?!" Tang Yuehua said anxiously.
"Is he crazy!"
Xuan Ming sighed, "I told him that, and he didn't fight."
"Is that so..." Tang Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay with your injury?"
"It's fine now." Xuan Ming said.
"I have been in seclusion in Sunset Forest for the past few months to recuperate. Didn't Poison Douluo send you any news?"
"No." Tang Yuehua said.
"Could it be that the old guy forgot about it because he found it too troublesome..." Xuan Ming asked doubtfully.
Dugu Bo had never been interested in places like Yuexuan. In addition, he was so popular with people who were so naive that he probably just ran to Tiandou Royal Academy and casually said something to Xue Qinghe when he passed the message to him.
"I'm glad you're okay. Don't go out again in the future. It's too dangerous." Tang Yuehua said.
"Yeah." Xuan Ming responded without saying much. After all, he would not leave Tiandou City in the short term.
According to the schedule, the Royal Fighting Team should have arrived in Soto City. In another two months, Shrek Academy should also come to Tiandou City, and Arou should also come by then.
But why do I feel like I forgot something...
Boom boom!
"Master Xuan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's men are here, and they want to invite Xuan Ming to the Crown Prince's residence for a chat." Butler Ode said outside the door.
"Prince?" Tang Yuehua was stunned.
"Did you say what it was?"
"No, just say that Xuan Ming knows." said Butler Ode.
Xuan Ming stood up and said, "I'll go over there."
"Wait, have you eaten?" Tang Yuehua grabbed Xuan Ming.
"No." Xuan Ming said.
"Let's go after dinner."
"Um."
…
As the sky gradually darkened, Xuan Ming finally arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
Although they said they were having a meal, Tang Yuehua kept asking indirectly, such as who helped him hunt for spirit rings, what he did in Soto City, whether he had any new friends in Shrek, and what was going on with Tang Hao.
So, the lunch that I started in the afternoon was not finished until dark.
When I walked into the Prince's Mansion, there were not many people along the way. There was no need to think, I knew the person who showed up tonight must be Qian Renxue.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Walking into the backyard, Qian Renxue was already waiting there, wearing a gorgeous white dress, facing Xuan Ming sideways, looking like a ghost.
"Any instructions?" Xuan Ming stopped and asked.
Qian Renxue walked to the pavilion and sat down, pouring two cups of tea, "We haven't seen each other for such a long time, can't we catch up first?"
"Reminisce the past?" Xuan Ming frowned slightly.
"Did you come to me to have a quarrel?"
Qian Renxue's expression froze, "What do you mean?"
"Isn't the old story between us just a quarrel?" Xuan Ming said.
He really couldn't find any good memories between him and Qian Renxue. Although he wanted to live in peace with Qian Renxue, this woman always managed to pick out things from a bunch of topics that he didn't want to talk about and that could irritate him.
To the extent that, for a long time he suspected Qian Renxue was deliberately making trouble.
It wasn't until he regarded Qian Renxue as a smart boss that everything became clear!
Isn't it that the boss is talking to you just to find fault?
How can I teach you a lesson if I don't find fault with you? How can I deduct your salary? How can I scold you with a clear conscience?
And after finding fault, the other party may still say, I'm doing this for your own good.
I'm fine, fuck you!
PUA has even emerged in the workplace.
"I heard that you returned to Wuhun City." Qian Renxue took a deep breath and chose to change the subject.
"Go back and take a look." Xuan Ming said.
"Did you have a fight with the Pope?" Qian Renxue asked.
Xuan Ming frowned, "If I were you, I would pretend that I didn't know about this matter instead of testing it."
"Why do you think I'm testing you just because I'm concerned?" Qian Renxue was a little indignant.
"Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"
Xuan Ming subconsciously looked at him as if he was a fool.
"What do you think?"
"You are prejudiced!" Qian Renxue stood up.
"The prejudice in people's hearts is a tall building." Xuan Ming said.
"But how did this building come about?"
"A tall building rises from the ground, isn't it built brick by brick by you?"
Maybe Qian Renxue really cared about him sometimes, but he really didn't have the energy to figure out whether these things were true or false.
There are so many adulterations, who would bet whether this time is real?
