Returnee in Jianghu - C53

“Um, Senior Brother, pinch me.” Luo Ling extended his hand towards Tang Ming. Tang Ming opened Luo Ling’s hand expressionlessly, “What are you doing?”

“I’m not making trouble, but if that Su Jinyun really is …” Doesn’t that mean that the Pure Wind House is a relative of the royal family? ” Luo Ling stroked his chin. “That’s just too scary. Senior Brother, why do I feel like you’re so calm?”

“The rise of the Pure Wind House has been too fast, and it has never hidden the fact that it is connected to the imperial government. Everyone in the martial world knows that the imperial government is backing the village.” Tang Ming looked at Luo Ling with a normal expression, “Moreover, whether or not the Pure Wind House is a relative of the royal family has nothing to do with us.”

“Seems to be so.” Luo Ling scratched his head and felt that his senior wasn’t wrong.

They didn’t need to be afraid of those who lived far away from them. At worst, they could just avoid Su Jinyun from now on.

“Young Master Tang.” At some point, Su Rong had caught up to Tang Ming and his junior brother. A disciple followed behind her, “My father has arranged a room for Young Master Tang to consume Blue Lotus Seeds.”

“This is strange. Didn’t Villa Owner Su and Sect Leader Martial Uncle not get along with each other? Why would they specially prepare rooms for Senior Martial Brother?” Luo Ling raised his eyebrows and looked suspiciously at Su Rong.

Luo Ling did not have a good impression of Su Rong, especially when he saw her calm eyes. He felt like he was being targeted by a cunning fox, as if Su Rong was scheming against him.

“I’m not sure about my elders either.” Su Rong cast her gaze at Luo Ling, “However, Young Master Luo can still be at ease. The Pure Wind House will not do such an open and honorable harm to others.”

Tang Ming did not say a word. He looked at Su Rong and asked, “Does Young Master Su really not know about the matter between my master and your father?”

Su Rong looked at Tang Ming meaningfully and said, “Young Master Tang, you really have the Fiery Eyes of Truth.”

Seeing that Su Rong didn’t want to say anything, Tang Ming didn’t ask anymore.

“The manor still has things to do, I’ll be leaving first.” Su Rong glanced at Luo Ling, “Also, your little brother is a bit too lively. It’s better to manage Qingfeng Manor.”

“I will restrain my junior.” Tang Ming nodded his head as he turned to look at Luo Ling, “Are you going to look for senior uncle or follow me?”

“I… “Master still doesn’t know about Miao Miao’s background.” Luo Ling looked at Tang Ming with a troubled expression. Tang Ming did not say anything, “Alright, then go to Martial Uncle’s place and don’t run around.”

Luo Ling nodded his head like a chick pecking rice.

Seeing that Tang Ming had arranged Luo Ling, Su Rong waved to the disciple beside him: “Come here and lead the way, Young Master Tang.”

“Yes.” The disciple accepted the order and saluted Tang Ming with a respectful tone, “Young Master Tang, this way please.”

“Thank you.” Tang Ming followed the disciple and walked past Su Rong. The two of them looked at each other for a moment before simultaneously withdrawing their gazes.

“This is the Green Tomb Pavilion from the manor. Is Master Tang satisfied?” The disciple leading the way lowered his head towards Tang Ming.

Tang Ming saw that most of it was built in the natural soup pond. The slightly cold air instantly became hot and humid. The room was simple and unadorned; it was extremely extravagant.

“After Young Master Tang consumed the Blue Lotus Seed, you can soak it in the soup. It will have a miraculous effect.” The disciple let out a sigh of relief when he saw Tang Ming’s satisfied expression. “I’ll be leaving first.”

Tang Ming nodded as he saw the leading disciple leave. He walked steadily towards the small pavilion’s staircase.

Tang Ming didn’t know why Su Ziyue, the owner of the Pure Wind Villa, suddenly expressed her goodwill towards him.

Although Su Ziyue and Chu Jungran had broken off all decorum in front of everyone in the hall today, Tang Ming could tell from Su Ziyue’s words, “I really didn’t expect you to become like this”, that the relationship between him and his master was very good, at least in the past.

The layout of the room was completely different from the luxurious and exquisite room Tang Ming had seen along the way. It was extremely grand, even though every corner of the room was exuding a luxurious aura.

Tang Ming took out the jade box Su Rong had given him from his sleeve and opened it.

A lotus seed like fruit emerged from the jade box, emitting a faint blue light. Tang Ming took off his clothes and soaked himself in the soup.

After he put the Blue Lotus Seed into his mouth, the slightly sweet juice exploded in Tang Ming’s mouth. Just as Tang Ming swallowed it, a stream of heat flowed through Tang Ming’s meridians.

At the beginning, the warm current made Tang Ming heave a long sigh of relief, but not long after, Tang Ming couldn’t help but frown.

Pain. It was very painful.

It was as if all the meridians in his body had been forcefully opened. Tang Ming took a deep breath and started circulating his inner force along with the warm flow of the blue lotus seed.

One week, two weeks…

After an unknown amount of time, the pain in Tang Ming’s meridians finally subsided. Just as Tang Ming was about to heave a sigh of relief, a sharp pain came from the depths of his bone marrow and spread throughout his body.

Unexpectedly, Tang Ming bent down and let out a low roar of pain.

A hand grabbed onto Tang Ming’s hand when Tang Ming was unconscious. It was as if they were checking his pulse. Not long after, a surge of inner strength entered Tang Ming’s body, collecting very little.

“Steady, gather your energy and defend.”

A slightly cold voice exploded in Tang Ming’s brain as he subconsciously followed the instructions of the voice.

The second blue lotus seed was sent into Tang Ming’s mouth.

“Follow the heat current and circulate your inner strength.”

Tang Ming didn’t resist at all.

“Ding –”

The zither music rang out and entered Tang Ming’s ears. The zither music circled around the soup pond, causing ripples to form.

The pianist seems to be trying to play out his own life and look back on the past. The young girl’s hair instantly turned white and bitter, as if the person playing the zither had lost all relatives and friends, and had become a traitor.

But it was also exceptionally quiet.

Tang Ming was also gradually pacified by the zither music as his breathing gradually calmed down.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Ming finally opened his eyes.

“He woke up.”

A voice that was both gentle and cold rang out by Tang Ming’s ear. Tang Ming looked over and saw Su Ziyue wiping the Phoenix Tail Zither. The corner of his mouth was curled into a gentle smile as usual, but there was an unspeakable distance in the corner of his eyes.

He became an independent person, and he ascended to become an immortal.

“It was Young Noble Wushuang who saved me.” It wasn’t a question, but a confirmation. Tang clearly believed that Su Ziyue was the one who had saved him.

“It’s just a redemption.” Only then did Tang Qing see the exact same plum blossom mark that was on the corner of Su Jinyun’s eyes on Su Ziyue’s neck. As if she had noticed Tang Ming’s gaze, Su Ziyue hesitated for a moment before finally covering the plum flower on her neck.

“If there’s nothing else, go find Chu Jungran. Otherwise, he might be suspicious.” Su Ziyue turned to leave. The wind was blowing at the corners of Su Ziyue’s clothes, and the flowers on her sleeves were blooming.

“Villa Owner Su.” Tang Ming suddenly said, “Did you say anything that junior wanted you to bring back to Master?”

Su Ziyue paused in her steps and turned her head back. There was too much emotion that Tang Ming did not understand in her eyes. She opened her mouth, but eventually opened her mouth: “Then tell him, until now, I, Su Ziyue, have never regretted it.”

Start… The whole time.

Even if he was hated by everyone.
