"To sleep in my yard, you must first answer three questions. If I am satisfied with your answers, I won't hesitate to spare half a room for the three of you, but it won't be free." Huxin's attitude grew increasingly cold.
When it came to toughness, where was this man, who was left with only half a life, when she, Xia Huxin, single-handedly challenged the Four Great Elders in modern times?
She was used to being unyielding, believing only in her own reasoning.
The White-Clad Man on the bed slightly raised his chin to look at Huxin, still possessing a pure and innocent gaze, yet the darkness flowing from his eyes was an unprecedented abyss of despair.
At this moment, the darkness seeping from his eyes slowly permeated the entire room, as if conveying an invitation to Huxin. Even amidst boundless darkness, he would never walk alone; how could he not invite her to walk alongside him?
"Miss Huxin, please speak," said Sui Feng, the guard, taking over for the White-Clad Man.
Huxin scoffed and disdainfully replied, "Has your master lost his tongue to the pursuers? Do you need to use Mind Transmission to speak for him?"
"Miss has misunderstood; it's just that Young Master is severely injured and cannot speak much." Sui Feng was naturally concerned for his young master's safety. They had been on the run for half a month without blinking an eye or having a warm meal while escorting the secret order amidst countless pursuers.
For twenty years, the young master had grown up in the idyllic Water Valley, never stepping out of the valley or witnessing the dangers and hardships of the outside world. If it weren't for the Seven Elders harboring ulterior motives, perhaps he would never have left Water Valley in his lifetime.
However, over the past half month, the young master seemed like a different person. If it weren't for his quick thinking and decisive actions multiple times, their trio would have long since perished amidst the traps set by the Seven Elders.
"Sui Feng, I am fine. The arrow in my chest hasn't been removed yet; having a beauty accompany me for a chat is quite pleasant. When Miss Huxin asks me questions later, if you see me deep in thought, remember... pull out the arrow!"
As the White-Clad Man finished speaking, he gazed at Huxin with a smile in his eyes. The boundless darkness within them resembled a deep cold pool that could draw in anyone's soul at any moment.
Huxin then noticed the bloodstained area on the chest of the White-Clad Man, where a cold gleam of a weapon flashed briefly. Earlier, the man had covered his wound with his hand, and Huxin only saw large patches of blood blooming on the white clothing, not noticing the broken arrow embedded in his chest.
"Yes, young master," Sui Feng replied solemnly to White-Clad Man.
"Miss Xia, is there anything you need me to explain?" White-Clad Man looked calmly at Huxin, appearing ready to share everything he knew.
"I'm not interested in your name or background. How long do you plan to stay here? I need to head to Luoming Mountain early tomorrow morning and don't have time to worry about your life or death! Also, as compensation for taking you in, I want to learn Mind Transmission."
As soon as Huxin finished speaking, White-Clad Man's gaze flickered slightly, a momentary surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Miss Xia, learning Mind Transmission takes at least twenty years. Moreover, one must have profound internal strength and practice martial arts for many years, and..."
"Fine, I'll teach you." Before Sui Feng could finish, the White-Clad Man on the bed gently interrupted him. His long, icy fingers slowly lifted from his face, and his clear eyes shone like springs as they met Huxin's gaze, accompanied by a faint smile.
"I am Nalan Mingqing, from Western Region First Valley Water Domain Mountain Valley. Starting today, I will trouble Miss Xia for a month, wholeheartedly teaching you Mind Transmission until you master it. Otherwise, I will not leave without ensuring that you succeed. I keep my word!"
Nalan Mingqing introduced himself and even mentioned Water Valley. Sui Feng and Suiyu looked at their young master in shock, then turned to the cold-faced Huxin. The current young master was completely different from the innocent and harmless person he used to be in the valley.
