965 Chapter 965
The woman’s eyes and brows looked somewhat similar to the woodcutter’s.
“Are you the sister of the Palm Sect’s master?”
Sikong Wuyuan could not help but feel curious.
“How do you know that? Do you know him?”
The woman was pleasantly surprised and asked them about the whereabouts of the woodcutter.
Jiang Ming glanced at Sikong Wuyuan.
It was a little difficult for him to deal with such a situation.
Sikong Wuyuan had an idea and laughed.
“Your brother has been looking for you. He has been to many places. I don’t know where he is now, but I believe that the two of you will meet again one day.”
He felt that telling this woman the truth was too cruel.
Jiang Ming did not care.
Their matters had nothing to do with him.
“You can just call me Xue Qingqing,” the woman said dejectedly. “I don’t know where my brother is now.”
At this moment, Jiang Ming suddenly noticed a figure on the wall. The figure was very tall.
He felt that the person would come over, so he did not move.
“What are you waiting for?” Sikong Wuyuan waved at Jiang Ming when he saw that he was frozen.
Just as Jiang Ming was about to reply, the person had already walked over.
He held a jade pendant in his hand and waved it as he greeted Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming felt odd and could not help but frown. “I don’t even know you.”
This person was a little dangerous.
“Oh!” Sikong Wuyuan said. “Please don’t randomly claim that you’re related to us. We’ve never seen you before.”
His actions amused the man, who began to introduce himself.
“I’m the valley master of the nearby medical valley, Cheng Zhongping. I noticed the commotion here earlier, but I didn’t expect it to be settled by you, so I wanted to come and get to know you. Do you want to go to my place to drink tea? I planted those tea leaves myself. You might like them very much.”
A fierce light flashed in his eyes.
These people were bound to become his puppets.
Sikong Wuyuan became vigilant when he heard his words.
“Why are you treating us to tea for no reason?”
Cheng Zhongping smiled.
“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you. I just admire you.”
“It seems like it’s still early. Let’s go have some tea and give Xue Qingqing a place to settle down.”
Jiang Ming agreed immediately.
Sikong Wuyuan found it strange and asked Jiang Ming the reason in his heart.
“You’ll find out later,” Jiang Ming said thoughtfully. “I think it’ll be exciting.”
Sikong Wuyuan nodded and followed Cheng Zhongping.
However, Xue Qingqing looked terrified. She shook her head frantically and said, “I think I’ll leave on my own. I don’t need you to find me a place to settle down. Thank you.”
As she spoke, she was about to leave, but she was stopped by Cheng Zhongping.
“Why does this lady seem to be afraid of me?” Cheng Zhongping sized her up. “Do you know her?”
Xue Qingqing yawned, and her saliva landed on Cheng Zhongping.
It had been a long time since she had proper sleep.
“Forget it. You’d better leave.” Cheng Zhongping waved his hand with a look of disdain.
Xue Qingqing felt relieved and turned to leave.
Jiang Ming was very curious about Xue Qingqing’s reaction. Then, he heard what she said to him in her heart.
“Sir, that man is not a good person. You should leave quickly. He has ulterior motives and will kill you.”
“Why?”
Jiang Ming quickly asked, but Xue Qingqing was silent.
Should he leave now?
Then, something on Cheng Zhongping’s body shone.
Jiang Ming felt that this thing was very connected to him, and he could not help but want to get close to it.
Cheng Zhongping noticed his expression. He touched the glowing thing and said helplessly, “I didn’t expect you to find out.”
Jiang Ming looked confused.
He took out the glowing thing.
It was a shell.
Jiang Ming was attracted to the shell.
What kind of magical tool was this?
The shell lit up and completely sucked Jiang Ming in.
Sikong Wuyuan panicked. He grabbed Cheng Zhongping’s collar and said angrily, “What did you do to the king? Didn’t you say you wanted to treat us to tea? Why are you still treating us like this?”
He knew that Cheng Zhongping was not a good person.
“I don’t know,” Cheng Zhongping said helplessly.
In the space, Jiang Ming looked up and saw a green plant.
Bright red fruits were growing on the plant.
The fruit looked amazing. Jiang Ming’s eyes were blurred as he plucked one at once.
What was going on?
Unexpectedly, he came out after he was done plucking the fruit. He also saw Sikong Wuyuan and Cheng Zhongping confronting each other. He was stunned. “What are you doing?”
Sikong Wuyuan was excited when he heard Jiang Ming’s voice. “You’re okay!” he said as he looked Jiang Ming up and down.
Cheng Zhongping, on the other hand, paid attention to the fruit in Jiang Ming’s hand and could not help but ask strangely, “Why is this fruit here?” This is a Flame Fruit that grew hundreds of years ago. Eating it can increase one’s intelligence and recover one’s spiritual energy.”
He was furious.
This was what he wanted.
“There was a tree in the shell. I plucked the fruit from it.”
Jiang Ming felt that it was nothing to write home about and poured the fruit into his pocket.
Sikong Wuyuan did not pay much attention to the fruit. “It’s good that the king is safe,” he said. “Everything else is just a minor issue.”
A greedy look flashed across Cheng Zhongping’s eyes. He said expectantly, “Your Majesty, why don’t you give me this fruit? I have great use for it.”
“I picked this fruit. If you want it, you can pick it yourself.”
Jiang Ming felt that Cheng Zhongping did not have good intentions, so he rejected him directly.
His face darkened. “This shell is mine. This fruit is mine too. Why don’t you give it to me?” he asked.
Sikong Wuyuan was furious. “Whatever the king plucks is his. What does this fruit have to do with this shell? Besides, don’t you have seashells? Go and pick the fruit.”
“You’re pestering me!” Cheng Zhongping could not help but get angry. “Hurry up and hand over the fruit!”
He had never been able to obtain this fruit, and now he could not bear to see anyone else obtain it.
Jiang Ming felt that Cheng Zhongping was being unreasonable. He grinned and turned to leave. There was no point in staying like this!
Xue Qingqing was right. They should leave.
Sikong Wuyuan also followed. He did not want to stay any longer.
Cheng Zhongping quickly changed his method and went forward to stop Jiang Ming.
“Your Majesty, we have things to discuss. Now is not the time to quarrel.”
He had to make peace with Jiang Ming. The other fruits had not been picked yet.
