Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

Prime Minister's Residence.

Xiao Mo Chi had just returned to his study and hadn't sat down for long when a maid walked in: "My Lord, Lord Xu requests an audience."

Xiao Mo Chi was taken aback: "Lord Xu? Which Lord Xu?"

"It's Xu, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"Xu Ming, ah." Xiao Mo Chi smiled, "Let Xu Ming come in directly. Also, have someone bring out my treasured Da Xue Hong Pao tea. Since we have a distinguished guest, we can't be stingy. It just so happens that I've been wanting to drink that Da Xue Hong Pao for a while now."

"Yes, sir."

This book is first published on 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞 on the entire network.

The maid bowed and withdrew.

Before long, the tea was placed in front of Xiao Mo Chi, and Xu Ming was also led in by the maid.

"Student Xu Ming greets Teacher."

Xu Ming entered the study and bowed to Xiao Mo Chi.

"Xu Ming, what brings you to see me?" Xiao Mo Chi walked forward with a smile and helped Xu Ming up. "You're so badly injured, you should be resting well at home. It's best not to run around. That General Mo is really something. He's so old, yet he still hits so hard. Doesn't he know to show some consideration to the younger generation?"

Xiao Mo Chi knew that Xu Ming was injured.

But when he saw Xu Ming, Xiao Mo Chi realized just how badly injured Xu Ming was.

He was wrapped up like a mummy from head to toe. It was a bit unexpected.

"Haha, it's alright. I just had some questions and wanted to see Teacher to ask for clarification."

Xu Ming didn't explain that his injuries weren't entirely caused by General Mo.

He could only let General Mo take the blame for now.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain.

"Hahaha, of course, I'll help if I can." Xiao Mo Chi helped Xu Ming sit down in a chair and personally poured him tea. "But I'm afraid I can't help you much now, whether it's in academics or other matters. You've surpassed me in many ways."

"Teacher is too kind. This student's knowledge is shallow. There is still much that Teacher can teach me." Xu Ming said modestly, "It's just that this matter of mine may be difficult to discuss with you, Teacher."

"Xu Ming, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to consider too much between us."

If Xu Ming had come as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard or in some other capacity, Xiao Mo Chi would have maintained a certain distance from him.

But since Xu Ming addressed him as "student" upon arriving, Xiao Mo Chi naturally received him as a "teacher."

Moreover, now that things have come to this point, in Xiao Mo Chi's view, there was no need for him to avoid suspicion.

"It's not really a big deal."

Xu Ming took a sip of tea.

The tea had a rich aroma and a sweet aftertaste. After drinking a mouthful, Xu Ming felt his true energy and spiritual power being gently soothed.

This tea is extraordinary!

Xu Ming felt that it must be because he had come that Teacher Xiao had specially brought out this tea to regulate his Qi.

"It's just that too many things have been happening in the Martial Capital recently. Liu Feng and the Princess of Chu have come, the King of Western Liang has entered the capital, and now the Myriad Dharma Assembly is being held a year ahead of schedule. I always feel like something big is going to happen, and I don't feel at ease."

Xu Ming put down his teacup and looked at Xiao Mo Chi's expression with a smile.

"So I wanted to ask Teacher to enlighten me. Is something big about to happen in the Martial Capital recently? It would be good for our Embroidered Uniform Guard to prepare in advance."

Xiao Mo Chi smiled and poured another cup of tea for Xu Ming: "How could anything happen? It's just that all the events happened to coincide.

The reason for holding the Myriad Dharma Assembly a year ahead of schedule is simply because the Martial Kingdom has allied with the North Sea this year, and the Princess of Chu has also come.

Therefore, His Majesty wants the sects within the Martial Kingdom to know about the alliance between the North Sea and the Martial Kingdom, so that those sects will be more obedient and not always think about causing trouble.

You also know that those sects in our Martial Kingdom are all unruly. They all want to fight for their own interests and never care about the life or death of our Martial Kingdom.

Secondly, he wants the Princess of Chu and Liu Feng to see the power of our Martial Kingdom and to see the grand occasion of all sects coming to court, which will also boost the prestige of our Martial Kingdom."

Xu Ming looked at Xiao Mo Chi's eyes with a smile and said with some disbelief: "Only that?"

"Only that." Xiao Mo Chi nodded, "So, Xu Ming, you don't need to think too much. Just do what His Majesty has instructed. The Embroidered Uniform Guard should maintain order in the Martial Capital, and there won't be any problems."

Xu Ming took another sip of tea: "But I also heard that Old Master Fang has returned."

Xiao Mo Chi was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Old Master Fang has returned? I didn't know that. Perhaps Old Master Fang just wanted to visit friends in the Martial Capital.

Master Fang has lived in the Martial Capital for so many years and must have many relatives and friends.

Now that Master Fang is free from official duties, it's normal for him to travel the world and visit friends."

"That should be the case."

Xu Ming nodded, looking directly into Xiao Mo Chi's eyes.

"However, Teacher, I met someone when I was in the Dragon Palace of the North Sea before."

"Oh? Who?"

"I remember I should have told you before that I met Mr. Lu."

Having paved the way and probed so much, since Xiao Mo Chi wouldn't say anything, he could only get straight to the point.

Otherwise, if they continued to pull and probe each other like this, Teacher Xiao still wouldn't reveal a single word.

"Did you say that? I've forgotten. It seems so, right?" Xiao Mo Chi didn't know if he was pretending to be stupid or had really forgotten. "By the way, how is Little Liu? Is he doing well now?"

"Mr. Lu is doing very well and seems to be living quite freely." Xu Ming nodded.

Xiao Mo Chi smiled: "That fellow, when we were studying together at White Deer Academy, that fellow was carefree. I envied his carefree life."

Xu Ming nodded with a smile: "Mr. Lu's personality and attitude towards handling matters are indeed very enviable. When Mr. Lu was chatting with me, he specifically asked me to do him a favor."

"That guy actually troubled a junior? He's too shameless." Xiao Mo Chi pretended to be angry and said, "Don't take the matter he asked you to do to heart. Just let it go in one ear and out the other."

"It's not a difficult matter."

Xu Ming shook his head.

"Mr. Lu told me at the time that you, Teacher, will do a great thing in the Martial Capital, turning the world upside down, and you may die because of this matter.

Finally, Mr. Lu asked me, if that day really comes, to stand by and watch."
