Chapter 513 So I have been drawing like ghosts since I was a child
"You, you are..."
When Zhuang Xiaoye saw Shen Xingmian's face clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank and he fell to his knees with a plop.
"Madam! I haven't seen you for so many years. Are you doing well?"
"Okay, I'm fine."
Shen Xingmian quickly stepped forward and helped him up with tears in her eyes.
"Xiaoye, since you are here, what about Xiaohan? Where is he now?"
"The master... is in Xuelin Country."
Zhuang Xiaoye lowered his eyes, his voice filled with sadness.
"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years."
"Xue Lin Country?"
Shen Xingmian frowned and kept asking questions.
"He's fine, why would he go to such a bitter cold place?"
"Because that's Xiang Wanqin's mother's hometown, so the master..."
"Xiang Wanqin?"
Shen Xingmian suddenly interrupted him, his eyes full of surprise.
"Are you talking about Xiao Han and Xiao Fei's junior sister?"
She muttered to herself and shook her head.
"That's not right! Xiao Fei told me that you guys didn't want to go to Baihua Country with her because you couldn't bear to leave the Wulin Alliance. How come Xiaohan is going to Xuelin Country with that Xiang Wanqin?"
"Xingmian, don't be anxious. If you have anything to say, just ask slowly."
Seeing that his sweetheart was in trouble, Ming Jingxing quickly stepped forward and held her hand. Then when he looked at Zhuang Xiaoye, his face instantly darkened.
"Hey! Brat, can you please explain yourself clearly? Why would that Han go to Xuelin Country with that Qin?"
"Senior, please be polite when you speak!"
Luosha immediately stood beside Zhuang Xiaoye and retorted with a cold look.
"My Xiaoye is not your slave, what right do you have to boss him around?"
"Oh, little girl, you are standing up for your lover."
Ming Jingxing raised his eyebrows, a hint of provocation on the corner of his mouth.
"What? It seems like you want to try your hand at fighting with me, an old man..."
Before he could finish his words, Luosha's eyes became fierce, and he moved his wrist slightly. Dozens of embroidery needles as thin as cow hair flew out from his sleeve and headed straight for Ming Jingxing's face!
But the other party just waved his palm lightly, and an invisible air wave exploded instantly. Before the embroidery needles could get close to him, they exploded into ashes with a "puff".
Then, he gathered his internal strength at his fingertips, used his fingers as swords, and stabbed towards Rakshasa's throat as fast as lightning.
"Shuang'er!"
Zhuang Xiaoye reacted extremely quickly, pulling Luosha behind him and blocking Ming Jingxing himself.
"do not want!"
As soon as Shen Xingmian finished speaking, Ming Jingxing's fingertips stopped in mid-air, and then he withdrew his internal force and took two steps back.
"Senior, Shuang'er was the one who spoke inappropriately just now. I apologize to you on her behalf!"
Zhuang Xiaoye quickly bowed his hands in a respectful manner, while Luosha, standing beside him, stared at Ming Jingxing with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.
"Senior, are you the renowned Elder Tianyi?"
"Oh, the little girl is quite knowledgeable."
Ming Jingxing raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on Luosha.
"Looking at your martial arts skills, what is your relationship with Hua Yixiao?"
"Senior, I am the former guardian of the Demon Sect, Rakshasa."
Luosha immediately bowed, his tone becoming more respectful.
"Eighteen years ago, I had the honor of witnessing your pinnacle battle with the leader from afar."
"Oh? You really are that old fox's disciple."
Ming Jingxing stroked his beard and changed the subject.
"But what about this 'former guardian'? You left..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhuang Xiaoye spoke first.
"Senior, Shuang'er has long since left the Demon Cult. Now... she is my wife."
"lady?"
Shen Xingmian's eyes lit up, and he immediately took two steps forward, looking Luosha up and down, then raised his hand and took off a pair of shiny dragon and phoenix bracelets from his wrist and handed them to her.
"Miss Luo, I am Xiaoye's elder. These bracelets are not meant to be a token of respect, but a gift for you."
"Madam, absolutely not!"
Zhuang Xiaoye quickly declined.
"I am a servant of Yingxiong Manor. How dare I accept such a valuable gift from you..."
"Silly child, don't say that."
Shen Xingmian interrupted him with a smile, her eyes gentle.
"Brother Wu Zheng has never treated you as a slave. Otherwise, why would he specifically name you 'Xiao Ye' and teach you martial arts?"
"Old Master..."
When Zhuang Xiaoye heard the words "Brother Wu Zheng", his eyes instantly turned red and his voice was full of sadness.
Ming Jingxing was filled with jealousy and approached Shen Xingmian, asking sourly.
"Xingmian, this Brother Wuzheng you're talking about, isn't he Zhuang Wuzheng from Yingxiong Manor?"
"Yes."
Shen Xingmian showed a nostalgic smile on his face and recalled quietly.
"My Qinggong skills were taught to me by Brother Wu Zheng. It's a pity that God is jealous of talented people... If he hadn't passed away from illness, Yingxiong Manor wouldn't have been destroyed..."
"Died of illness?"
Ming Jingxing frowned, his tone full of doubt.
"That's not right. I remember he wasn't killed by his second brother..."
"senior!"
Zhuang Xiaoye suddenly roared.
"Hey! Brat, why are you shouting so loudly?"
Ming Jingxing complained dissatisfiedly.
"If Xingmian is frightened, can you bear the consequences?"
Having said that, he was about to speak again.
"Let me tell you, that Zhuang Wuzheng..."
"Old lady!"
Zhuang Xiaoye anxiously pointed at Bai Yue who was unconscious on the bed.
"The young master is here now! Would you like to come and take a look?"
"Young Master?"
When Shen Xingmian heard this name, his whole body trembled, and then he turned his gaze to Bai Yue on the bed.
"You mean... she's Xiaoyue? That's not right! Xiaoyue should have returned to Baihua Country with Ling'er, and the person on the bed... is clearly a man..."
"Xingmian, actually this is what happened."
When Ming Jingxing saw that Bai Yue and Shen Xingmian were related, he quickly stepped forward to explain.
"This child is actually a girl disguised as a boy, her name is Bai Yue!"
"Bai Yue?"
Shen Xingmian clenched his hands excitedly, but the next moment, he muttered to himself.
"Then why doesn't she recognize me? And her personality..."
Just as the other party's face was full of suspicion, Luosha quickly walked to the bed, took out a bag of snacks wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve, and shook it gently under Bai Yue's nose.
"What a nice smell...it smells like osmanthus cake!"
Bai Yue's nose twitched, and he suddenly opened his eyes. Then he sat up abruptly, rubbing his still dazed head, and looked at Luosha.
"Aunt Luo, why did you knock me out just now? And what about Hua Muan and Ling Xuzi? How are they?"
As she spoke, she wanted to check on the two people, but Zhuang Xiaoye rushed in front of her, pointed at Shen Xingmian and spoke excitedly.
"Young Master! The old lady has also come to the Wulin Alliance. Why don't you come over and pay your respects to your great aunt?"
"Great-aunt?"
Bai Yue raised her eyes and looked at Shen Xingmian, her heart skipped a beat. She guessed that the other party was from the royal family of Baihua Kingdom, but she didn't expect that their relationship was so close.
"You...are you really Xiaoyue?"
Shen Xingmian took half a step forward, his eyes filled with anticipation yet hesitation.
"Hey, Xiao1, what should we do now? The original owner's relatives want to verify her identity!"
Bai Yue immediately asked for help from the system in her mind.
"Don't worry, I'll keep your identity documents safe for you!"
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Bai Yue had a warm jade tablet in her hand. She quickly handed it to Shen Xingmian and raised her hand to remove the disguise on her face.
"This is my jade certificate. Please examine it, great aunt."
After she finished speaking according to Xiao 1's instructions, Shen Xingmian's eyes instantly turned red.
"To be honest, since you were ten years old, Xiaoyue, I haven't seen you without makeup..."
"So, what you mean is that I've been drawing like a ghost since I was a child?"
Just as Bai Yue was secretly complaining, Shen Xingmian's fingertips had already gently stroked the lotus pattern on the jade tablet.
"But the touch of this Holy Mountain Warm Jade is unmistakable, and the lotus pattern is a craftsmanship unique to the royal family, and outsiders cannot imitate it..."
Having said that, she suddenly handed the jade tablet back to Bai Yue with a serious look in her eyes.
"You should remember what to do next, right?"
"know."
Bai Yue nodded, took out the dagger without hesitation, cut her fingertip, and dripped blood into the center of the jade tablet.
The bright red blood droplets fell on the warm jade, but did not slide down the jade surface. Instead, they slowly seeped into it and condensed into a lifelike golden thread peony pattern.
"Flower souls merge! You are indeed a descendant of my Hundred Flower Royal Family!"
The last bit of doubt in Shen Xingmian's heart disappeared. She hugged Bai Yue tightly, her voice choked with sobs.
"Xiaoyue, my son, what on earth have you been through? How did you end up in the Wulin Alliance, and even have to disguise yourself as a man to hide your identity?"
