Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

“Greetings, esteemed sirs.” Qin Qingwan stood up and made a respectful bow.

“Greetings, Miss He.” Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng returned the greeting simultaneously.

Yuwen Xi looked at the woman before him. Hearing Xu Ming introduce her as He Qingqing, Yuwen Xi was filled with disbelief.

He had only seen He Qingqing last year. How could Miss He look like this?

Even if Miss He had undergone body tempering, her appearance couldn't have changed this much.

Moreover, this lady was clearly more beautiful than Miss He.

Yuwen Xi didn't immediately expose her identity, but planned to mention it to Brother Xu later.

“Please, sit,” Xu Ming said to the group, then set up a formation to isolate them from divine sense probing.

To outsiders, it would seem that Xu Ming and his companions were simply sitting at the dining table, eating and drinking, but it was all an illusion.

Seeing Xu Ming set up the formation, Qin Qingwan blinked her eyes, looking at Xu Ming with surprise.

Xu Ming, he...

He's also a cultivator?

When did he learn to cultivate?

Wasn't his spiritual root severed?

However, Qin Qingwan quickly felt even happier.

As long as Xu Ming could cultivate, that would be great. She would work hard and find many, many treasures for Xu Ming.

When the time came, even if she had to force-feed him medicine, she would feed him until he reached the Nascent Soul realm, so he could have thousands of years of lifespan.

“Miss He, may I know if I can trust you?” Xu Ming asked, looking directly into Qin Qingwan's eyes with a gentle tone.

“Of course, you can~” Qin Qingwan smiled, her eyes curving into crescents. “Young Master Xu can trust me completely. I guarantee it with my Great Dao!”

“Good.” Xu Ming took out the sheepskin scroll from his package and handed it to Qin Qingwan.

“What is this?” Qin Qingwan took the sheepskin scroll, unfolded it, and a complex and profound formation was revealed before her.

“This formation can help us leave this place,” Xu Ming said directly, without the slightest circumlocution.

Hearing Xu Ming's words, Qin Qingwan was stunned, her eyes blinking in disbelief.

If it were anyone else, Qin Qingwan would definitely not believe it.

But the person was Xu Ming.

Qin Qingwan looked again at the formation on the sheepskin scroll.

The more she looked, the more she felt that the person who created this formation was truly a genius.

Perhaps this formation really could help them leave White Wallow City.

“I think I know the reason you came to find me now,” Qin Qingwan said with a smile to Xu Ming. “This formation requires three people proficient in formations to operate, and one of them must be a female cultivator, because the female cultivator's spiritual power makes up for the 'yin' in the formation.”

“I can help you,” Qin Qingwan said generously.

Hearing her agreement, Xu Ming and Yuwen Xi both breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Miss,” Xu Ming bowed.

“You don't need to thank me. On the contrary, I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to leave this place,” Qin Qingwan shook her head. “But can you allow me to let my senior brothers from the same sect use this formation?”

Qin Qingwan said, “I can't allow you to give this formation to others, but no matter what, the other people from the Heavenly Mystery Sect are all my senior brothers, and I can't stand idly by.”

Xu Ming nodded: “When the formation is successful, when we leave, Miss He can tell others about the formation. Miss He can tell whoever she wants.”

Hearing Xu Ming's words, Qin Qingwan blinked her eyes lightly, then smiled charmingly: “Okay~”

“Tomorrow, I'll go buy some things to set up the formation. Will you accompany me to buy them?” Qin Qingwan looked at Xu Ming with a smile.

“That's not a problem,” Xu Ming nodded, agreeing to Qin Qingwan.

“Then it's settled~ See you tomorrow~~~” Qin Qingwan left the inn with light and cheerful steps.

After Qin Qingwan left, Miao Feng punched Yuwen Xi beside him: “No wonder you've been thinking about her all this time. This He Qingqing is really beautiful, but I think you should just give up. You're not worthy of her.”

Yuwen Xi blushed and shook his head: “No, this person is not He Qingqing.”

“Huh?” Miao Feng was taken aback.

Xu Ming frowned, looking at Yuwen Xi: “Brother Yuwen, what do you mean by this? She's not He Qingqing?”

“Absolutely not!” Yuwen Xi shook his head. “It's only been a year since I last saw Miss He. Even if my memory is blurred, I wouldn't fail to recognize her. This fairy is much more beautiful than Miss He, and there's no resemblance to Miss He at all.”

“She's not He Qingqing? Then who is she? Among the Heavenly Mystery Sect, who is more beautiful than He Qingqing….”

Miao Feng's voice stopped abruptly before he could finish the word “beautiful.”

In everyone's hearts, there was an answer.

He Qingqing ranks thirteenth on the Beauty Roll.

If there is someone more otherworldly than He Qingqing...

Then that person can only be...

“Why would that Fairy Qin lie to Brother Xu and claim to be Miss He?” Yuwen Xi didn't understand.

“Who knows? This Fairy Qin is quirky and clever, maybe she has some unique ideas of her own,” Miao Feng shook his head. “But I have to say, she's worthy of being fifth on the Beauty Roll. This trip to White Wallow City, even if we don't find any treasures, being able to see Fairy Qin once is worth it.”

“What do you think, Brother Xu?” Yuwen Xi asked Xu Ming.

No matter who it is, no matter what their identity, beautiful women are always a topic of conversation for men.

Miao Feng also looked at Xu Ming, curious about Brother Xu's evaluation of Fairy Qin. He always felt that Brother Xu was too mature.

“She is indeed beautiful,” Xu Ming smiled and nodded, looking in the direction Qin Qingwan had left. “She really has changed a lot since she was a girl.”

Yuwen Xi asked curiously: “Brother Xu has met Miss Qin before? Look at my brain, Brother Xu is from the Xu State Manor, and Fairy Qin is from the Qin Manor, so it's normal for the two of you to have met. But it seems like Fairy Qin didn't recognize Brother Xu.”

Miao Feng smiled: “Brother Xu, don't be too sad. I heard that Fairy Qin entered the Heavenly Mystery Sect at the age of six. So many years have passed, it's normal for Fairy Qin not to recognize you.”

Xu Ming smiled and said: “That's true.”

After Xu Ming and Yuwen Xi had a little wine, the two of them took the formation and left to study the specific layout of the formation.

Xu Ming took the Heavenly Mystery Goose back to his room.

“Xu Ming, Xu Ming! That was Qingwan? Why is she so beautiful?” The Heavenly Mystery Goose, Little White, kept patting the back of Xu Ming's head, looking very excited.

“She is very beautiful,” Xu Ming smiled.

“But why did Qingwan lie to us that she was He Qingqing?” The Heavenly Mystery Goose didn't understand.

“Who knows?” Xu Ming actually already knew the answer in his heart.

This girl, how old is she, and she's still as clever and quirky as she was when she was little.

But…

Xu Ming looked out the window.

“But this… is also pretty good.”
