Chapter 322: Reuniting with Xiao Yi Xian

The crowd around was startled when the people of Ice River Valley suddenly kneeled down, leaving only Tian Shuang Zi standing stiffly like a puppet, frozen in place.

As they turned to look at the imposing figure of Venerable Tian Huo standing next to Xiao Ming, they understood who the culprit was. Each of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva and secretly marvel at Xiao Ming.

"As expected of an eighth-tier Master Alchemist, to actually have a Dou Venerate by his side to protect him," they whispered to each other.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

The noise around them started up again, and at this point, Tian Shuang Zi finally understood Xiao Ming's identity through the vague discussions around him.

Xiao Ming's reputation was widespread now, but his rise to fame had been too short. Not everyone knew who he was, and Tian Shuang Zi was one of those who didn't know him.

Hearing that Xiao Ming was a candidate for the Pill Tower's Eight Great Elders and an eighth-tier alchemist, Tian Shuang Zi couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"Have you clearly heard my words?" Xiao Ming looked at Tian Shuang Zi, who seemed lost in thought and asked in a calm voice.

With gritted teeth, Tian Shuang Zi struggled to say a few words, "I was ignorant and didn't recognize Mount Tai. I dared to have designs on Master Xiao Ming's people. As an apology, I have several high-quality medicinal materials here. I would like to ask Master Xiao Ming to accept them."

Tian Shuang Zi's hand trembled as he took out a few jade boxes from his storage ring.

In the end, he gave in and even took the initiative to make amends.

There was simply no other choice - the other party was too powerful! A five-star Dou Venerate could easily massacre them all.

If Xiao Ming was willing, he could offer an eighth-tier pill as a condition, and with a wave of his hand, the Ice River Valley would be wiped out the next day.

This was the deterrent power of a young eighth-tier alchemist and a candidate for the Eight Great Elders of the Pill Tower.

Thus, Tian Shuang Zi truly did not wish to continue to provoke the other party. Although they intended to go after the Woeful Poison Lady, they had not yet acted upon it, and there was still room for reconciliation. Losing face was not even worth mentioning in the face of life and death.

Tian Shuang Zi had also made up his mind to persuade his Valley Master not to pursue the Woeful Poison Lady anymore when he returned, at least not to pursue the one Xiao Ming was protecting. He didn't want to end up being surrounded and beaten to death by a group of Dou Venerates one day, without knowing why.

Seeing Tian Shuang Zi's good judgment, Xiao Ming signaled to Venerable Tian Huo to release the pressure and took the jade box.

After he released the pressure, the disciples and Elders of the Ice River Valley struggled to get up, their eyes full of fear as they looked at Xiao Ming and Venerable Tian Huo, without the arrogance they had when they first arrived.

Seeing Venerable Tian Huo take out the jade box from his hands, Tian Shuang Zi asked nervously, "What about us...?"

"Um, I believe it's been around four or five months, big sister," Qing Lin replied, a little unsure.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly. Suddenly, she asked with a weak smile, "Four or five months... don't you miss your Young Master?".

Caught off guard by the sudden question, Qing Lin blushed and stammered, "Wh-why are you asking that so suddenly, big sister? Um... What about you, do you miss him?"

"Of course I miss him," Xiao Yi Xian replied without hesitation. "Now tell me, do you miss him or not?" she asked again, slightly tilting her head.

Qing Lin paused for a moment, her cheeks flushed. "You are so mean, Sister Xian'er... y-yes, I miss him... a lot," she said softly, her gaze averted. Qing Lin had thin skin, so it took a lot of courage for her to say it aloud.

Just as Qing Lin finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded in her ear, and a huge palm tenderly caressed her head.

"Does Qing Lin really miss me? I'm so moved..."

The sound of that very familiar voice made Qing Lin's heart skip a beat. She turned around without a second thought and threw herself into his arms, exclaiming, "Young Master!"

Xiao Ming gladly embraced her, feeling her warmth against his chest as he wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

Qing Lin's face flushed with embarrassment as she realized her earlier words had been overheard. She buried her face in Xiao Ming's chest, inhaling his scent and feeling her heart race.

Xiao Ming smiled and turned to look at his partner, smiling fondly. Xiao Yi Xian smiled back, her eyes twinkling with warmth and affection.

After a while, Xiao Ming stroked Qing Lin's head, who seemed to have calmed down and asked, surprised.

"I didn't expect you to make such quick progress, Qing Lin."

Xiao Ming was a little surprised that Qing Lin's strength was advancing so fast, at this moment she had broken through to the six-star Dou Emperor.

Qing Lin raised her head slightly, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Sister Xian'er. If it weren't for her taking me to participate in the energy baptism and driving away all the others who participated, I wouldn't have been able to break through this much."

Xiao Ming's hand paused at Qing Lin's words, feeling somewhat speechless. No wonder Qing Lin had made such a big breakthrough, it turned out that she had taken all the benefits for herself!

Those who had competed for the baptism with Qing Lin were extremely unlucky...
