Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

The next morning, Xu Ming went to find Li Han and once again saw Ye Ye.

Xu Ming even had breakfast with Ye Ye in the courtyard.

Xu Ming and Ye Ye were just like the night before, as if nothing had happened.

Afterward, Xu Ming and Li Han went together to find Guang Yin and the others.

Walking into Guang Yin's courtyard, the first thing Xu Ming and Li Han saw was a young girl.

The girl had a pure appearance, and although she was only wearing coarse linen clothes, she was dressed very neatly.

"Miss, may I ask if this is the residence of Guang Yin?" Xu Ming cupped his fist in a salute, wondering if he had found the wrong place.

Li Han smiled and said, "Ming-ge'er, don't you recognize her? This is Hu Tao."

"Hu Tao..." Xu Ming felt the name was somewhat familiar, but soon he remembered, "You are Hu Tao?"

Previously, when Xu Ming was on his first mission in the Blood Floating Pagoda, Guang Yin took in a girl. Xu Ming and the others brought Hu Tao into the Blood Floating Pagoda, where she worked as a little cook.

However, after Xu Ming left the Blood Floating Pagoda, he never saw her again. Roughly calculated, it has been more than three years.

He didn't expect such a big change; he didn't even recognize her.

"Yes, Brother Xu, this servant is Hu Tao." Hu Tao curtsied, her eyes full of joy. "Brother Xu, long time no see. This servant has always heard of Brother Xu's deeds."

"I didn't expect it; that little girl from before has grown more and more graceful," Xu Ming said with a smile, his eyes full of gratification.

The little freckles on Hu Tao's face were gone, and her skin was quite good. She had been thin due to malnutrition before, but now she had made up for it.

She could be considered a little beauty.

If you were to grade her appearance, she felt about the same as Sister Chunyan in her teens, perhaps even half a point prettier.

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Xu. Brother Xu and Brother Li, please come in quickly," Hu Tao greeted, leading the two into the courtyard.

Hu Tao poured tea for Xu Ming and Li Han.

Sure enough, the Blood Floating Pagoda had also given Li Han a vacation, and even Hu Tao had a vacation.

If this wasn't the work of the imperial palace, to better allow Xu Ming to visit relatives and friends, it would really be unbelievable.

It must be said that the Martial Emperor's little trick of buying people's hearts was indeed quite good. The cost was low, but it showed care for you everywhere, giving you the feeling of encountering a wise ruler and wanting to give your all for him.

However, Hu Tao had returned first to clean up the courtyard, while Guang Yin was currently a trainer in the Blood Floating Pagoda, training new recruits, and would only be able to return today.

Xu Ming and Li Han drank tea in the courtyard.

Li Han winked at Xu Ming, then secretly told Xu Ming some inside information.

In the past year, the relationship between Guang Yin and Hu Tao had advanced by leaps and bounds.

The main reason for this was an incident.

Because Hu Tao had become more and more graceful, and in the Blood Floating Pagoda, there were mostly vigorous single men.

So many people wanted to marry Hu Tao as their wife. Every time they ate, Hu Tao's window would be full of people.

Once, someone even proposed to Hu Tao.

But Hu Tao refused, her reason being that she already had someone she liked, and that person was Guang Yin.

Soon this matter spread, and someone went to challenge Guang Yin to a duel, settling things with their fists.

Although even if they won against Guang Yin, Hu Tao wouldn't like them, that's just how the Blood Floating Pagoda was. If you were unhappy, you could go to the training ground to compete.

At first, Guang Yin was dumbfounded, saying that he had no relationship with Hu Tao and that he only treated Hu Tao as a younger sister.

After Hu Tao found out, it was said that she cried for three days and three nights.

Then even more people went to compete with Guang Yin, feeling that Guang Yin wasn't a man! How could he make such a good girl cry!

Guang Yin's mood was actually very chaotic. He didn't know whether or not he should accept Hu Tao's feelings.

It wasn't that Guang Yin only regarded Hu Tao as a younger sister.

Guang Yin definitely had some good feelings for Hu Tao to some extent.

But Guang Yin also didn't know if he could give Hu Tao happiness for a lifetime.

Especially since the Blood Floating Pagoda often had to carry out some dangerous missions, with an uncertain future. Guang Yin was worried that he would die outside one day.

So he preferred that Hu Tao find a stable family to marry into.

Guang Yin told Hu Tao his thoughts.

Hu Tao didn't say anything that day, only remaining silent.

However, not long after, Hu Tao directly ran in front of Guang Yin and confessed directly: "I've thought it through. I still like you. If you die, I'll be a widow for the rest of my life. I don't regret it! Do you really not like me? If you don't like me! Just say it! I'll only ask you this once!"

In the end, Guang Yin and Hu Tao got together.

It's just that they haven't gotten married yet.

But it's estimated that it's about the same; it should be during this time.

After Xu Ming finished listening, he also felt quite emotional in his heart.

He didn't expect that his brother from back then was about to get married.

Not long after, Guang Yin returned. Everyone reminisced about the old days and then went together to find Xiong Hai Zhi.

The group went to a restaurant together for a meal, reminiscing about the old days.

Because Xu Ming had finally returned, Guang Yin also announced something, which was that next month, Guang Yin would be carrying out a mission.

After he returned from carrying out the mission, he would marry Hu Tao.

Guang Yin hadn't told Hu Tao about this matter yet, intending to give Hu Tao a surprise.

Xu Ming and the others naturally congratulated him.

After all, his good brother was getting married, so these people were also happy.

It's just that, Guang Yin saying "After I return from carrying out the mission, I will marry Hu Tao" made Xu Ming feel quite uneasy in his heart.

He always felt that this sentence was very unlucky.

Xu Ming felt that he had to talk to the people from the Blood Floating Pagoda and tell them not to give Guang Yin any dangerous missions during this time.

He was now a trainer, so it would be quite good for him to teach properly.

In the evening, the group gradually parted ways, each returning to their own homes.

Xu Ming returned to the Xu residence, took a bath, and sat in the courtyard, closing his eyes to meditate.

Xu Ming gave Zhou Wanfeng a message-transmitting flying sword, and it was estimated that in a few more days, it would reach the hands of "Taoist."

During this time, he also had to find a place to break through.

Then he had to go to the Rootless Secret Realm to take a look.

After returning from the Rootless Secret Realm, the Taoist would basically have arrived, to resolve the matter of his mother's soul.

Although he had arrived home, Xu Ming found that he couldn't relax at all.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ming broke away from meditation, intending to return to his room to sleep.

But in the next moment, Xu Ming suddenly turned around and swung his sword.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew between the long swords.

A masked man was knocked ten meters away by Xu Ming.

The moment this man steadied his feet, Xu Ming's long sword had already pierced his brow.

[Today I washed a bed quilt, put it on the balcony on the top floor of the community to dry, and then went out. The weather was fine at first, but then it started raining heavily. It was washed for nothing.]
