Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 353 How about we discuss a deal? (4000 words)
Sitting in the courtyard, Xu Ming looked at the starry night sky and couldn't help but stare blankly.

For Xu Ming, it was the first time that he felt so powerless.

Xu Ming felt that his life had actually been very smooth.

Although he was a bastard at the beginning.

However, the illegitimate sons of nobles are never worried about food and clothing.

Even if he had no status, he could still get a house, a wife, and even a lot of money every month, which was enough for him to live a comfortable life.

Not to mention that he also had a system, which enabled him to embark on the path of cheating, and everything went even smoother after that.

After having the plug-in, Xu Ming felt that as long as he developed well, he could do anything.

But now, Xu Ming found that he was still too arrogant.

The system is not omnipotent. In this world, there are many things that the system cannot solve, and there are many things that you need to find solutions for yourself.

"Master, the lady is awake."

Xu Ming didn't know how long he had been sitting there in the courtyard.

Anyway, when Xu Ming heard Chunyan's voice, he realized that it was already noon the next day.

"Master, Master!" Chunyan ran into the courtyard and said to Xu Ming breathlessly, "Madam is awake!"

Xu Ming stood up and without saying anything, followed Chunyan towards Xiaochun Courtyard.

Xu Ming walked into his mother's room and saw his mother's pale face.

At this time, Chen Suya was leaning against the head of the bed, covered with a quilt, with her hands folded on her body, looking at Xu Ming with a smile.

This was the smile that Xu Ming was familiar with, still so gentle.

Xu Ming's greatest impression of his mother is that she does not fight or compete.

When my mother was a concubine, she lived in this remote courtyard and tried to stay out of everyone's sight.

Even though my mother was valued by the Xu family because of her reputation and the Xu family wanted to find a bigger residence for her, she still chose to stay in this place.

My mother had no intention of suppressing others. In fact, she just faded out of other people's sight every day and lived her life as usual.

So with just one glance, Xu Ming knew that this personality was his mother, and not another personality that could be pretended to be.

"Mom." Xu Ming calmed himself down, sat beside his mother's bed, and said with a smile.

Chen Suya reached out and touched her son's cheek: "You've grown up."

Chen Suya's tone was weak.

Chen Suya looked at her son's face seriously, as if she would never see it again: "When you were born, you were still so small, and you cried as soon as you were born."

"Mother, why do you say all this?" Xu Ming said with a smile, wanting to hide everything.

In Xu Ming's opinion, his mother has no memory of another personality, and Xu Ming has already told other people not to tell his mother about this.

Mother had just woken up, and Sister Chunyan came to find me first, but she would not tell mother about those things.

"I know." Chen Suya smiled and shook her head, "Actually, Ming'er, I know everything about what happened last night."

"."Xu Ming opened his mouth slightly, then slowly closed it.

Xu Ming didn't know what to say at this time.

Chen Suya's eyes were a little dazed, as if she was recalling what happened last night: "Last night, I felt like I was dreaming.

In the dream, I walked out of the room by myself and saw a very beautiful female monk.

That female monk is really pretty. That monk should be Shi Xin, right? The one who ranked first on the Beauty List."

Xu Ming nodded: "Yes."

"No wonder, a woman like this makes even me feel moved."

Chen Suya raised the corner of her mouth and continued.

"Then, I started fighting with the female monk.

Throughout the whole process, I was like a bystander, watching everything happening in front of me, but I had no way to stop it and no way to control my body.

At that time, I was wondering if this was a dream.

If it was a dream, wasn't it too real?
Later, I defeated the female monk, and then you and a group of people rushed into the courtyard.

Then I heard myself talking there.

Those words she said were not just for you, but also for me.”

Xu Ming held his mother's hand and looked at her seriously: "Mom, it's okay, it's really okay, just take a good rest, I will take care of everything, don't be fooled by that person.

She is actually a monk who wants to occupy your body. I just need to drive her out. "

Chen Suya shook her head: "Silly child, although mother has been in the deep courtyard, she is not stupid. She can tell the truth from the false."

Xu Ming: “.”

"Alright, alright, stop looking so sad. Mother doesn't want to see you unhappy."

Chen Suya tucked a strand of her son's hair behind his ear.

"Ming'er, mother doesn't ask for anything. She just hopes that you can grow up well, safe and healthy. When you grow up, I will marry you a wife.

What I didn't expect was that my Ming'er turned out to be so successful.
During that poetry meeting, Ming'er, you made a stunning debut and shocked the entire Wudu.

At that time, Ming'er, you were called a genius by others.

Then you joined the Blood Pagoda.

When you said you wanted to join Xuefutu, your mother was actually very worried.

At that time, both the old lady and the master were advising me to hold you back and not let you go to Xuefutu.

They say that the Blood Pagoda is not a place that humans can go to, and that going there means you will be in danger of death.

And you have talent. Wouldn't it be better for you to pass the imperial examination and gain an honor than to tie your head to your belt?

In fact, my mother thought so too.

But mother doesn’t care whether Ming’er passed the exam or not. What mother wants is that you can be safe and sound, which is more important than anything else.

Mother also knows what kind of existence Xuefutu is.

In fact, your mother doesn't want you to enter the Blood Pagoda.

Mother is also worried that you have entered the Blood Pagoda. What if you encounter any accident? How will mother live?
But mother knows that although you are still young, you know very well what you are doing. Since you were a child, you have shown a maturity far beyond your peers.

Mother doesn't want to drag you down.

After you entered the Blood Pagoda, your mother prayed for you every day, prayed to the Buddha, and prayed to the gods to bless you with safety and health.

Fortunately, the Buddha and the gods heard my mother's prayers.

Not only did I send you back safely, but you also passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer."

"Mom," Xu Ming shouted, but he didn't know what to say.

"Ming'er, let me finish. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to speak again."

Chen Suya gently held her son's hand. "Ming'er, when you passed the exam and became the top scholar, I was really happy for you.

But while feeling happy, my mother also felt a little sad.

Because mother knows that my Ming'er has grown up completely and no longer needs mother.

Especially when Ming'er was going out to gain experience, when mother knew that you were a cultivator, mother knew even more that Ming'er, you were getting further and further away from mother.

Mother can't always be with you, Ming'er.

But this is just my mother's sorrow. Ming'er, you don't have to take it to heart. After all, which parents in the world can always stay with their children?

Mother knows that she is just an ordinary person and cannot do anything for you, Ming'er.

All mother can do is take good care of herself and not cause trouble to you, Ming'er.

Mother hopes that you can go further and further and achieve what you want to do.

But in the end, mother still caused you trouble.
Ming'er, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I made you so upset.

It was also because of my mother that I beat that girl named Shi Xin.

Mother wants to personally say sorry to that girl named Shi Xin."

"Mother, don't say that. Shi Xin won't blame you. What Shi Xin hopes most is that you will be well."

Xu Ming held his mother's hand in return.

"Besides, everything I have was given by my mother. If there was no mother, there would be no me. How could my mother cause me any trouble? My mother has never caused me any trouble."

Chen Suya raised the corners of her mouth gently and shook her head: "Ming'er, don't worry, even if I disappear in the end, it doesn't matter, I will always watch over Ming'er."

Chen Suya said weakly: "Besides, don't worry, I will never let her hurt you. She shouldn't hurt you either. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. No matter what, she is still your mother."

Xu Ming shook his head: "She is not my mother."

Chen Suya did not refute anything, but just lay quietly on the bed: "Ming'er, remember, no matter what happens, saving your life is the most important thing.

Human desires are endless. Although my mother does not know how to practice cultivation, the path of cultivation is the same as human desires.

Mother has heard of too many people who lost themselves because of some opportunities.

But mother believes that you won’t, Ming’er.

As long as Ming'er you are safe and healthy, whatever your mother does is worth it."

"mother"

"Ming'er, I'm a little tired. I want to sleep for a while." When Xu Ming wanted to say something else, Chen Suya slowly spoke, interrupting her son's words.

Chen Suya slowly closed her eyes.

"Then mother, please have a good rest. I will come to see you later." Xu Ming sat up and bowed to his mother.

Xu Ming had just left his mother's room and walked out of the courtyard when Eunuch Wei was waiting outside the courtyard.

"Top Scholar, His Majesty has always been worried about you," said Eunuch Wei.

As someone close to Emperor Wu, Wei Xun must know what happened.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wei, for leading the way." Xu Ming bowed.

"Okay, okay. Please come this way, Mr. Champion."

Wei Xun quickly led Xu Ming into the palace.

"Your Majesty, I, Xu Ming, pay my respects to you."

Xu Ming bowed and saluted.

Emperor Wu immediately sat up from the couch and said, "There is no need for all this red tape. I already know what happened."

Xu Ming: "Your Majesty is worried."

Emperor Wu sighed and said, "I can't say anything about your mother's affairs. This kind of matter is beyond the reach of external forces, so you don't have to worry too much.

I have also heard that one soul has different personalities.

Actually, Xu Ming, you can also think positively.

If they were different souls, your mother's spirit would definitely not be able to resist the cultivator's soul, and would only be swallowed up.

But if they are different personalities, then everything is equal. Your mother and her previous personality are on the same line, and it is not certain who is the dominant one. "

Listening to Emperor Wu's comforting words, Xu Ming just smiled and didn't say much.

What Emperor Wu said was indeed correct. The difference between different personalities of the same soul is indeed not that big.

The problem is, if they were different souls, Shi Xin would have solved this problem long ago.

And the difference between different personalities is not small.

There are many factors that influence the strength of a person's personality, but the most important one is memory.

The more memories one has, the stronger and more stable one's personality will be.

The other party is a monk, who knows how many years he has lived, and how long has his mother's personality been born?

With two personalities fighting against each other, what chances does my mother have of winning?

Emperor Wu knew what Xu Ming was worried about, but he really couldn't think of any reason to comfort Xu Ming.

Emperor Wu patted Xu Ming on the shoulder and said, "It's useless to think too much. Since we can't do anything, we can only wait. But before that, we can learn about other things and perhaps make a breakthrough in other aspects."

Xu Ming raised his head and looked at Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu took out a stack of documents from the desk and said, "This contains information about your mother Chen's birthplace, hometown, and various things from childhood to adulthood. Everything that can be investigated is already on it. Take a look."

At the same time, in Xiaochun Courtyard of the Xu Mansion.

Chen Suya slowly fell asleep.

Chen Suya gradually fell into a dream.

"Coming?"

'Chen Suya' looked at Chen Suya with a smile.

"Coming." Chen Suya nodded.

Although Chen Suya was an ordinary woman, she did not show any fear when facing the other party.

"How about we discuss a deal?"

Chen Suya smiled.

[Next month, my two roommates from university will come to Xiamen for a trip. I haven’t seen them for a long time, so I’d like to take them out for some good fun.

It has been three years since we last met.

Time really flies by.

I don't know how these two guys are doing now, but judging from their conversation, they should be doing pretty well. 】
