My cultivation method shines upon all heavens.

Chapter 90 She wanted it, so you gave it to her?

The night was deep, and the moonlight shone brightly.

Outside the eastern city, deep in the dense forest, a figure in white stood quietly with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering slightly in the night breeze.

"Crunch"

The sound of a dry branch breaking came from the air.

Yun Shuying slowly turned around and looked up.

Su Qingsi, her face flushed, staggered and limped towards them.

She was taken aback at first, then her expression darkened slightly.

Although she had no experience with love, she was not ignorant or naive.

She quickly stepped forward to support Su Qingsi, her fingertips gently touching her skin, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, sank completely.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you take care of yourself?"

She looked at Su Qingsi, her tone full of disappointment and frustration.

Her usual aloofness and detachment had vanished completely; she was now just like a worried, heartbroken mother.

Su Qingsi's eyes darted away, her lips slightly pouting, and she murmured softly, "She wants—"

"She wanted it, so you gave it to her?"

"But she has divine blood, and I've always wanted to curry favor with her in the future. Besides, this way, I'll have a chance to obtain the inheritance of the You Su clan."

"Ugh!"

Yun Shuying sighed deeply, finally resigned: "That's enough, it's too late to say anything more."

As soon as she finished speaking, her expression turned serious. She looked solemnly at Su Qingsi and said in a deep voice, "Qingsi, I have no strength left to protect you during this trip to the Inheritance Tower. You must be extra careful and never trust others too easily, lest you fall into a trap."

Su Qingsi's eyes widened suddenly, her cheeks puffed out slightly, and she muttered with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Do I—do I really look that stupid?"

Yun Shuying rolled her eyes speechlessly, sighing inwardly, wondering how such a tragic fate had come about.

The next day, Lu Ming awoke from his deep sleep, only to find that the turbulent blood and qi in his body had been temporarily suppressed, and his injuries were slowly healing.

He was delighted and became even more curious about the bizarre dream he had experienced the previous night.

At the same time, the people of Yinhu County finally came to their senses from the strange natural phenomenon.

News of the upheaval within the government office quickly spread throughout the city, and panic swept across the entire county like a tidal wave.

Faced with this crisis, the entire government unanimously elected Acting Clerk Lu Ming to take charge of the situation.

Lu Ming feigned several refusals, but secretly ordered the city gates to be sealed off to prevent the news from leaking to Xue Bao outside the city.

After putting on a show, he finally sighed, accepted the authority, and assumed the responsibilities of the Marquis of Baili.

He publicly vowed to seek justice for the murdered county magistrate, and then devoted himself wholeheartedly to the reconstruction of Yinhu County.

With prior experience in governance as a foundation, and with the assistance of the Yin Hu Guard, whose size had increased tenfold, the reconstruction work quickly got on track.

When Xue Bao, who was outside the city, found out, he was so angry that he beat his chest and smashed the table in front of him to pieces.

He missed a golden opportunity to seize control of Yinhu County.

However, what's done is done.

Lu Ming had rightfully taken that position, and given his strength ranking fifteenth on the Dragon and Tiger List, Lu Ming could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

Meanwhile, the most talented individuals from all over the Great Zhao have set off to Thousand Eyes Mountain to seek opportunities.

But they soon discovered that a thick fog had suddenly enveloped the area around Thousand Eyes Mountain.

Outsiders are very likely to lose their way if they enter, let alone get close to the Tower of Inheritance.

After several attempts, everyone finally figured out the rules:

Only by closely following the local strongmen can one avoid being trapped in the fog;

The deeper the cultivation of a local martial artist, the more dangerous and wondrous the areas they can venture into.

Suddenly, martial artists from Yinhu County, especially the Yinhu Guards, became highly sought-after commodities.

Lu Ming immediately recognized the business opportunity.

Faced with such an easy opportunity, he immediately became a middleman.

Whenever the Yin Tiger Guards are tasked with guiding outsiders, they must take them to the government office for registration.

By paying 30% of the reward, one can obtain the protection of the government; if anything goes wrong, Lu Ming will personally take action and investigate to the end.

With his apparent strength, ranking fifteenth on the Dragon and Tiger List, he instantly intimidated most of the outside geniuses.

For a time, the government office was bustling with people coming and going, creating a lively atmosphere.

The main hall of the government office.

Lu Ming was reviewing official documents at his desk when he suddenly frowned slightly and said calmly, "Now that you're here, show yourself."

A familiar, subtle fragrance quietly wafted into his nostrils, and Lu Ming's brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Hehe, you're quite perceptive."

Su Qingsi stood with her hands behind her back, dressed in a pink dress that made her look lively and playful, and smiled at him.

Before she finished speaking, a fragrant breeze wafted by, and she had already swept into Lu Ming's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, and said sweetly, "My lord, I have a favor to ask of you, please help me?"

Lu Ming remained expressionless, his gaze falling to the lower left, and said helplessly, "These little tricks are useless against me."

The illusory figure in his arms suddenly vanished, and Su Qingsi was now sitting upright at the lower end, looking at him with surprise: "Only when the essence is sufficient can the spirit be vigorous. You are clearly deficient in qi and blood and look like a sick body. How can you still see through my [Fox Shadow Veil]?"

'

"With my talent, I've never failed, except for Xiao Junlin and that idiot."

She got up and walked around to Lu Ming's side, looking him up and down.

Lu Ming's heart stirred slightly, but he was too lazy to waste words with this fickle enchantress and asked directly, "What is it? Reward?"

Su Qingsi pouted unhappily, slammed a piece of armor fragment on the table, and muttered, "Tomorrow, you take me to Thousand Eyes Mountain to the Inheritance Tower. I heard you have a penchant for ancient artifacts left behind by powerful figures, so I found this for you."

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the fragments before him.

The fragments are rusted and mottled, but ancient patterns can still be faintly seen on them, clearly indicating that they are fragments of a piece of armor.

The moment his fingertips touched the fragment, the Heavenly Heart Scroll stirred:

[Heart Imprint Found, Profound Yin Body (High-Grade Spiritual Rank), can be refined. Refine?]

Lu Ming's expression shifted slightly, but he did not immediately refine it. He raised his eyes and looked directly at Su Qingsi: "It's not enough."

Su Qingsi was sitting in a chair, idly playing with her hair, when she heard this her pretty face stiffened.

She abruptly stood up, hands on her hips, and said angrily, "Lu Ming, don't go too far!"

She went through all sorts of trouble to find this antique to please him, just in exchange for him guiding her for a while, but he was still not satisfied.

Lu Ming looked at her quietly and slowly said, "I need you to take some time every day to suppress the abnormality in my body."

Su Qingsi's cheeks flushed instantly, her eyes darting around in a panic, and she stammered, "What—what did you say? I don't understand."

Lu Ming looked at her helplessly, finding it hard to reconcile the image before him with the rumors of her alluring beauty and widespread fame.

Connect with "Enchanting Fox".

Was it intentional, or is this her true nature?

Lu Ming pondered to himself.

Su Qingsi felt increasingly embarrassed by the stares and turned away in a huff: "Alright—the first time is the most effective, and the effect will be much weaker afterward."

She herself couldn't explain it, but since that night, without Yun Shuying's advice, she couldn't even pretend in front of Lu Ming.

"It's alright, this is not your concern. You just need to answer, whether you agree or not."

Although Lu Ming was slightly disappointed, he didn't care much.

As long as it still has some effect, that's enough. He had already planned to go to the Tower of Inheritance anyway.

He had never forgotten what Yun Changfeng once said: if anyone in the world could cure his stubborn illness, it would be the Great and Wise Teacher.

Su Qingsi's expression was conflicted, her fingertips constantly twirling strands of hair. After a long internal struggle, she finally bit her red lips and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine!"

Since we've already done it once, a few more times won't make a difference. Just think of it as being bitten by a dog a few times.

"Tomorrow, in Red Lane, I'll be waiting for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, her pink dress fluttered, and her figure vanished in an instant.

Lu Ming gazed in the direction she had left, a slight smile playing on his lips. Just as he was about to continue with his official duties, a soft sound suddenly reached his ears.

"despair"

He suddenly looked up.

A pair of black leather boots stepped into the hall, followed closely by a square and dignified face.

His eyebrows were like swords drawn to his temples, and his jawline was as sharp as if carved by a knife and axe, exuding an imposing aura even without anger.

"Such profound cultivation—it completely deceived my senses!"

Lu Ming was deeply shocked.

Even though his injuries had not healed and his qi and blood were unstable, this person was still unfathomable.

He composed himself, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "I was unaware of Young Master Xiao's arrival. What brings you here?"

The Huangji Sect is a royal sect, and its disciples are mostly relatives of the emperor.

Xiao Junlin is the current prince, but after entering the clan, he left the clan to avoid suspicion.

Otherwise, given the other party's status, he should have bowed deeply in respect.

"Take me to Thousand Eyes Mountain tomorrow."

Xiao Junlin spoke indifferently, then turned away with his hands behind his back, without giving him another glance.
