Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 290 Almost there
The long sword in Xu Ming's hand pointed at Ye Ye's neck.

There was a faint moonlight on the long sword.

But even with a sword pointed at his neck, Ye Ye's expression remained very calm.

Ye Ye glanced at the long sword in Xu Ming's hand and said, "The sword forged by Master Wang of Xifeng Street is of good quality, but it is just an ordinary sword after all. It's a bit too shabby for the top scholar to use such a sword."

Xu Ming: "I had a pretty good sword before, but I lost it when I killed Tianxuan Sect's leader Xia He. I just found another one, but I don't know if it's enough."

Ye Ye's mouth curled up slightly: "It's just an ordinary sword, that may not be enough."

"Is that so?" Xu Ming said calmly, "But we can only give it a try. However, I hope I won't need to use this sword tonight."

Ye Ye raised his eyes and looked at Xu Ming in confusion: "I am a little curious. My demonic aura is well hidden. Unless it is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm or a warrior in the Far Travel Realm, it is difficult to find me. Why was I still found by you, young master?"

Xu Ming thought of an excuse: "Maybe I have been sensitive to ghosts and demons since I was a child. Maybe it's innate."

indeed.

If it was just an ordinary person, Xu Ming felt that he really wouldn't be able to discover it.

But over the years, I have gained a lot of "keenness" attribute points.

Therefore, Xu Ming could also detect this faint demonic aura.

"Young Master, do you want to get rid of harm for the people? Exorcise demons and monsters?" Ye Ye tilted his head and asked curiously.

"To 'eliminate harm for the people', you must first make sure whether you are actually causing harm."

Xu Ming put down his sword.

"I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but since I encountered it, I have to take care of it, not to mention that Li Han is my brother."

Ye Ye looked directly into Xu Ming's eyes and said, "Sir, you sincerely treat Li Han as a brother. I am very grateful. Li Han has been a naughty kid since he was young. He often fights and has few friends."

"Can the girl explain it?" Xu Ming said.

Ye Ye: "Sir, what do you want me to explain?"

Xu Ming: "What can the girl say?"

Ye Ye glanced at Li Han's bedroom, then retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Ming: "Whatever the young master asks, I will naturally answer."

Xu Ming was not polite and asked directly: "Where is the girl from?"

Ye Ye: "Baihe Country, Sanxian Cave."

Xu Ming shook his head: "Miss, forgive my ignorance, I have never heard of this place."

Ye Ye smiled and said, "Young Master, you have certainly never heard of it. This Three Immortals Cave was a small sect founded by a group of monsters from Baihe Country. It has long since disappeared."

Xu Ming: "What is the girl's realm?"

Ye Ye: "Your Excellency will make fun of me. I am only at the Nascent Soul stage."

Xu Ming: “.”

Although Xu Ming had already had some vague guesses about the other party's realm, after knowing the truth, Xu Ming really couldn't laugh.

A cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage is already a founder of a school of thought.

Although he had been crossing borders to kill enemies, he was not very confident when facing a demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Xu Ming: "If I understand correctly, it is not easy for a demon to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. The years required are much longer than those of humans."

Ye Ye nodded: "Indeed, for a human cultivator to reach the Nascent Soul stage, a genius only needs 50 to 60 years, and an ordinary person needs 500 to 600 years. For us demons, it takes a thousand years." Xu Ming smiled: "The life span of that girl is longer than that of the Baihe Nation."

Ye Ye nodded: "Yes, when our Sanxian Cave existed, Baihe Kingdom had not yet been established."

Xu Ming frowned, "With such a high level, the girl's status in the Three Immortals Cave must be quite high. No matter where she is, she can worship an elder. But she came to Wu Country and took in these children. Could it be that the girl really felt sorry for these children?"

Ye Ye shook his head: "No, I'm not a good person. I took in these children not to do any good, but for my own purpose."

Xu Ming: "The girl is really straightforward."

Ye Ye: "If I say I am just doing good deeds, will you believe me?"

Xu Ming: "What is the girl's purpose?"

Ye Ye's eyes revealed a hint of coldness: "Kill one person."

Xu Ming: "Miss, can you tell me who it is?"

"I'm sorry, sir. I can't tell you about this." Ye Ye refused to answer.

Xu Ming: "Personal vendetta?"

Ye Ye: "Personal vendetta."

Xu Ming: "What if I insist on asking someone to investigate?"

Ye Ye smiled and said, "Sir, what you want to do is your business, and what I want to do is my own business. But I won't tell you about this. Besides, these children in the courtyard are all very cute."

Xu Ming looked straight at Ye Ye, and Ye Ye did not avoid Xu Ming's gaze.

"Are you threatening me with these children in the courtyard?" Xu Ming smiled. "Do you think I will be kidnapped by you using these children?"

Ye Ye shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. Your sword energy is so sharp, which shows that you are decisive in killing. No one should be stupid enough to threaten a sword cultivator. But since Li Han is your brother, I believe you will care about him."

As soon as Ye Ye finished speaking, the sword energy around Xu Ming was as sharp as the wind, cutting Ye Ye's body bit by bit.

Ye Ye's clothes seemed to be cut by a blade again and again, revealing his fair skin, and the scars were slightly oozing with blood.

"If you want revenge, then go ahead and do it. What does it have to do with these children?" Xu Ming asked.

Ye Ye: "I can't say that either."

Xu Ming: "Will these children die because of you?"

Ye Ye shook his head: "That won't happen. Although I am using these children, I don't want to harm them. I adopted them for my own purposes. They survived because of me. We just took what we needed."

Xu Ming sneered: "What a good way to get what you want."

Ye Ye just smiled faintly and did not respond to Xu Ming's ridicule.

"I won't care what you want to do. Your personal grudge is your own karma." Xu Ming said coldly, "But if anything happens to Li Han or the children in the courtyard, or if you sacrifice others for revenge and I find out, I will not forgive you."

Ye Ye bowed and said, "Thank you for your understanding, sir."

"It's not you I'm sympathetic to."

Xu Ming put away his sword and disappeared into the night.

Looking at the direction where Xu Ming flew away, Ye Ye continued to sit on the chair, looking at the quiet night:

"Soon. Soon"
