Chapter 258
Xu Ming once again arrived at Wanhua Valley.
However, this time, he wasn’t here to visit; he was here to stay.
When Xu Ming stepped into Wanhua Valley, Qin Qingwan was already there, waiting for him. It seemed she had long known about his plan to reside in the valley.
“For the next few days, you’ll stay here,” Wang Xuan said as she led Xu Ming to a newly built wooden cabin.
Inside, there was a table and a bed with neatly folded blankets.
It was clear that Wang Xuan’s decision to let Xu Ming stay in Wanhua Valley wasn’t prompted by Xia Donghua’s visit. She must have planned this from the start—otherwise, the cabin wouldn’t have been prepared in advance, complete with furnishings and daily necessities.
“Thank you for the trouble, Senior,” Xu Ming said, bowing respectfully. However, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy. “Senior, perhaps I should stay outside the valley instead?”
Wanhua Valley only had two residents—Qingwan and Wang Xuan—both women. Xu Ming worried that his presence might tarnish their reputation. If he stayed just outside the valley, Xia He wouldn’t dare make a move on him, and he could avoid inconveniencing them.
“Outside the valley, disciples come and go. If you stayed there, it would only draw more attention. Someone might even call you a creep,” Wang Xuan replied calmly. “It’s better if you stay in the valley. Besides, no other disciples will visit Wanhua Valley these few days, so hardly anyone will know. And even if someone does, so what? In Tianxuan Sect, there are few who would dare speak ill of me.”
