Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

“Is the Miss Qin that Senior Brother mentioned, Qin Qingwan?”

Zhu Cici looked at Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng seriously, with a hint of nervousness in her expression.

It was as if she was worried that her lover, whom she hadn't seen for many years, had found a new love.

“This…” Yuwen Xi looked at Miao Feng.

Miao Feng calmly nodded: “It is indeed Miss Qin. Miss Qin from Tianxuan Sect also went to the Baiwa Secret Realm. The few of us cooperated and helped each other in the secret realm, and that's how we escaped. However, everything mainly relied on Brother Xu.”

Zhu Cici gently pursed her lips: “Are they still on good terms?”

“Yes.” Miao Feng organized his words, “In our opinion, they do have a good relationship. But that's normal, after all, they are childhood playmates, but it's just that kind of friendship.”

“I see…” Zhu Cici said slowly, her expression visibly relieved.

Yuwen Xi glanced at Miao Feng, thinking, “The relationship between Brother Xu and Miss Qin has become ordinary friends in your mouth? Where do they look like ordinary friends? Have you ever seen ordinary friends stand by his side and be ready to die with him?”

Miao Feng helplessly looked back at Yuwen Xi, his eyes saying, “I can't help it.”

Besides, Miao Feng felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, right?

In his opinion, Brother Xu and Fairy Qin looked like friends, but how would he know if they were really friends or not?

“Young Master Xu has helped our academy a lot. Did the two senior brothers invite Young Master Xu to our academy for a drink?” Zhu Cici asked with a smile.

Yuwen Xi replied: “Of course, but Brother Xu said that he wants to continue traveling around the world. If he passes by Bailu Academy and has time, he will come over. After all, Bailu Academy is still quite far from Wu Kingdom.”

“That's right.” Miao Feng also echoed, “Brother Xu will return to Wudu next year to participate in the qualification selection for the Rootless Secret Realm, so he probably won't have much time.”

How could Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng not know what Zhu Cici meant?

Zhu Cici actually wanted to ask, “When will Xu Ming come to the academy?”

They couldn't possibly say, “Brother Xu is going to Tianxuan Sect and Wanjian Sect, but he may not come to Bailu Academy.” That would be terrible!

“It should be so. The Rootless Secret Realm is the last time it will be opened. There are many opportunities in this Rootless Secret Realm, so it should not be missed.”

Zhu Cici nodded, expressing her understanding.

However, a hint of loneliness still flashed in Zhu Cici's eyes.

“I wonder if I can trouble the two senior brothers to describe what Young Master Xu looks like now.”

Zhu Cici composed herself, raised her eyes, and smiled.

“I haven't seen Young Master Xu for many years. Young Master Xu sent me a poem when he was young. I should return it to him, but I'm afraid that after many years, I won't recognize him and it would be disrespectful.”

“Of course.” Yuwen Xi thought for a moment, then seriously described, “Brother Xu is tall and slender, five inches taller than me, wearing a blue shirt…”

Yuwen Xi carefully described to Zhu Cici, and Zhu Cici listened carefully, not missing a word.

“I won't disturb the two senior brothers any longer. If the two senior brothers need anything, you can tell me at any time.” After an incense stick of time, Zhu Cici stood up, bowed, and had already memorized the two's description of Xu Ming.

Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng quickly stood up and returned the salute: “Thank you very much.”

Zhu Cici turned and left the courtyard.

Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng looked at Zhu Cici's graceful back as she turned and left, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Brother Xu, ah, Brother Xu…

We can only help you this much.

After returning to the courtyard, Zhu Cici took out her pen, ink, and scroll, closed her eyes, and carefully recalled Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng's descriptions of Xu Ming.

After a long time, Zhu Cici raised her pen, rolled up her sleeves, and, according to her imagination, stroke by stroke, depicted the image of Xu Ming in her heart.

An hour later, Zhu Cici put down her pen and ink.

On the painting in front of the girl, a man in a blue shirt stood on the top of a mountain, looking up at the sky, his unrestrained and refined demeanor vividly displayed on the paper.

Looking at it, the girl's eyes gently rippled, as if talking to herself: “Is this what you look like in my painting?”

“Cici, Cici…”

Just as Zhu Cici was staring at the painting, a familiar voice came from the courtyard.

Before Zhu Cici could secretly hide the painting, Xia Wei directly pushed the door open and walked in.

“You little girl, why don't you even knock on the door?” Zhu Cici quickly turned around and walked forward, blocking the painting behind her, blocking Xia Wei's view.

“Cici, what are you talking about? I didn't knock when I used to enter your room~” Xia Wei said joyfully, “I'm here to tell you some good news.”

Zhu Cici: “What good news?”

“That is, eh?” Xia Wei saw that there seemed to be a painting behind Zhu Cici, “Cici, what is that painting on your table?”

“It's nothing, just some landscape painting I did when I was free.” Zhu Cici's cheeks were slightly red, and she took Xia Wei's arm, “Let's go, let's talk in the yard. It's a bit stuffy in the house in this summer weather.”

“No, no, your expression is wrong. Let your sister take a look. What did you draw?” Xia Wei pretended to look at the painting.

“It's really nothing.”

Wherever Xia Wei's eyes went, Zhu Cici blocked it.

“Why are you so nervous if it's nothing? Tell me, are you in love and drawing some erotic pictures?” Xia Wei questioned.

“How could I draw… Eh? Weiwei, stop!”

Taking advantage of Zhu Cici's carelessness, Xia Wei bypassed Zhu Cici and came to the painting.

The painting was of a handsome man.

“Hmph, hmph, you still say you're not thinking about love.” The corners of Xia Wei's mouth hooked up like a cat, “Who is this handsome man in the painting?”

Zhu Cici turned her head: “I won't tell you.”

Xia Wei raised her chin: “If you don't tell me, I can still guess. You're so devoted, this painting is of Xu Ming, right?”

“…” Zhu Cici's cheeks flushed red after being told what she was thinking.

“That's not right.” Xia Wei said in confusion, “Cici, have you seen what your little lover looks like grown up?”

“I haven't.” Zhu Cici's cheeks were even redder, “Senior Brother Yuwen and Senior Brother Miao have seen him. I drew it based on my impression after listening to their descriptions.”

“You little girl… How much did you beautify him? He's even better looking than that Young Master Xu from Wei Kingdom who claims to be the most handsome man in the world, right? Can Xu Ming be as good-looking as you painted him?” Xia Wei said helplessly.

“For other people, I don't know.”

Zhu Cici's eyes curved.

“But in my heart, he is just so good-looking~”
