Chapter 499: Some missed opportunities, but they can still be made up after all
Shen Xingmian looked at him like this and suddenly burst out laughing, with tenderness in the fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
"I'm not afraid. On the contrary, I think... Brother Ming was quite impressive just now."
Ming Jingxing was stunned, his old face turned red, and he scratched the back of his head foolishly, his voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.
"As long as you don't despise me..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a group of people stealthily glancing over here. He immediately frowned and glared at them sinisterly.
"What are you looking at? Are you tired of living and want to keep your eyes?"
“Clatter—”
The people who were sitting there stiffly just now suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, crawling out of the hall.
How could Ming Jingxing care about all this? He turned around and approached Shen Xingmian with a fawning look on his face, like a big dog wagging its tail.
"Good boy, Grandpa Ming is so obsessed with love that he's become like a schizophrenic?"
Bai Yue, who was watching the whole process, slurped the last mouthful of noodles and shouted to the shopkeeper who was looking sad.
"Boss, I'll take care of everyone's bill in this hall tonight!"
The moon is at its zenith, and its bright light fills the whole yard.
Ming Jingxing took Bai Yue into a secluded woods and coughed twice when he turned to look at her.
"According to the rules of our Tianyi Villa, the Tianyi Sword Technique can only be passed down to males, not females."
"What?"
Bai Yue just frowned, and the other party nodded solemnly, but he couldn't hold it in for three seconds and suddenly grinned.
"But now the villa is in ruins, what's the point of keeping those broken rules? My rule at Ming Jing Xing is - I can pass it on to anyone I want!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already drawn the long sword from his waist, and danced with the sword while reciting the incantation.
"Tianyi Sword Technique emphasizes the unity of nature and man. The mind follows the sword, and the qi sinks into the dantian..."
The sword light stirred up silver glow in the moonlight, sometimes like a fleeting shadow, sometimes like a deep and quiet pool.
It only took a cup of tea to complete the entire set of sword moves. He stopped, stood still, and looked at Bai Yue with a smile.
"Okay, Xiaoyue, these are all the moves of the Tianyi Sword Technique. Come, let me repeat the first move for you..."
"Grandpa Ming, that's not necessary."
Bai Yue raised her hand to interrupt, her eyes bright with astonishing brightness.
"I've memorized every mantra and every movement you just said."
As soon as she finished speaking, a bronze sword engraved with the seal characters "Tian Yi Sword Technique" appeared out of thin air in front of her eyes. It made a "hum" sound and emitted a faint white light.
"What? You remembered everything?"
Ming Jingxing's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"I only practiced it once..."
Without waiting for him to say anything else, Bai Yue had already recited the sword techniques word for word, even the breathing at every turn was accurate.
“Oh my god…”
Ming Jingxing opened his mouth wide, and after a while he suddenly slapped his thigh.
"You girl actually have a photographic memory? You're really a good material for martial arts!"
Bai Yue smiled slightly, clasped her fists and bowed like a martial artist, and bowed seriously to Ming Jingxing.
"Thank you, Master, for teaching me the peerless martial arts!"
The other party was stunned at first, then burst into hearty laughter.
"You little rascal, how dare you tease an old man? No wonder Mo is interested in you, with your eccentric personality..."
"and many more!"
Bai Yue suddenly looked up, her face full of confusion, and interrupted him abruptly.
"You said... Mo Xuanche likes me?"
"Why, girl, you really don't know what that boy feels for you?"
Seeing that she did not seem to be pretending, Ming Jingxing took out the jade pendant that he had taken from Mo Xuanche from his arms and handed it to her.
"Yue girl, do you know what this jade pendant means?"
"Isn't it just a piece of paper that can summon Grandpa Ming to save my life..."
Before he could finish the word "artifact", he received a slap on the head, neither light nor heavy.
"What do you mean by summoning me? Do you think this old man is a dog that comes whenever you call?"
Ming Jingxing withdrew his hand, pinched the jade pendant and sighed.
"Back then, that Mo brat was burdened with a deep blood feud, and his temperament was as sullen as a piece of ice that had been frozen for a thousand years. Apart from practicing swordsmanship, he had no other thoughts in his eyes. He was very much like me when I was young."
A blush appeared on the other person's melancholy face again.
"Fortunately, I still had Xingmian by my side at that time, but he was truly alone, without even a single person to offer his sincere words..."
"Okay, Grandpa Ming, stop showing off your affection and tell me what this jade pendant means."
As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Ming Jingxing sighed heavily again.
"I specifically told that boy to give this jade pendant to my future wife. Since he gave it to you, doesn't it mean that he likes you?"
"Grandpa Ming, you... you're not kidding, are you?"
Before she finished speaking, the jade pendant was stuffed into her palm.
"Xiaoyue, Mo's personality may seem erratic and unpredictable, but deep down he's a very affectionate child. If he hadn't been born in the cannibalistic royal family, he should have lived a more comfortable life."
Ming Jingxing patted her shoulder with a serious tone.
"Although we have only known each other for a short time, I, an old man, can see that you are a kind-hearted girl. I will ask you to take good care of my little apprentice from now on."
"Grandpa Ming, I..."
Bai Yue's mind was in a mess. She had never expected this situation to happen. She was about to ask something else when she saw Ming Jingxing suddenly slap his thigh.
"Oh right! Xingmian said she wanted to eat sweet tofu pudding. I'm going to find a tofu shop on the street right now. I'm going to pick the best beans and make her a bowl!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew out like an arrow and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
"Heh, not only is he a dog grandpa, he's also a typical 'licking dog' grandpa."
Bai Yue muttered inwardly, clenched the warm jade pendant in her palm, and then looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
Suddenly, the last time I saw Mo Xuanche flashed through my mind. His deep eyes and the words he said with a hint of grievance, "What should I do if I miss you?"
"I really didn't realize that you, who always act like a hooligan, actually like me..."
The moonlight fell on her face, and her fingertips gently stroked the lines on the jade pendant.
At this moment in the Wulie Kingdom's palace, Mo Xuanche was leaning on the railing, looking up at the same bright moon, and suddenly a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which he himself did not even notice.
"Your Majesty, is there any good news?"
Xingzhu, who was standing beside him, saw that he rarely smiled and bowed quickly to ask.
Mo Xuanche's eyes never left the bright moon, and there was a hint of gentleness in his voice that he himself was not aware of.
"Nothing, I just think the moonlight is beautiful tonight. I wonder... can Xiaoyue see the same moonlight over there?"
This was the countless times he looked up at the moon, but only tonight did he feel that the clear light contained the warmth that was so close to her.
