Ever since Qiao Wan came back to the cultivation world, she started living a very difficult life running back and forth.
With the existence of the portal to the heavens, which can be considered like a glitch, Qiao Wan usually travels to the cultivation world every month. Of course, as a sexy university student, her main focus is on her studies, working hard to successfully get her graduation certificate.
Mei Kangping doesn't care much about this thing called a "graduation certificate."
"The food is ready, it's warming in the pot," standing in front of the stove, covering the big pot, Qiao Wan wipes her hands on her apron and calmly says, "Uncle, just take it out to eat at noon."
In a small courtyard under the grapevine, Mei Kangping lies on a rocking chair and impatiently hums, "Alright, I got it, I'm not a three-year-old."
Qiao Wan says with a flat expression, "Yes, you're a three-hundred-year-old man."
The man in front of her is getting younger as he gets older.
"Uncle, you can't always rely on my dad to take care of you. You should learn to cook yourself." Bringing out a blanket from the house and covering the man, Qiao Wan advises helplessly.
"Also, it's not spring yet, so be careful with your legs lying in the yard in such thin clothes sunbathing."
Although Mei Kangping finally got out of the embarrassing situation of being in a wheelchair, his legs still had many lingering issues. This was not only because of the crazy emperor, but also because Meng Guangze took him to visit the widows of the monks as a way to make amends. These common people were suffering from the effects of war, kneeling down from house to house.
Regardless of the seasons, going from house to house to kneel down, combined with working for the cultivation world for the past ten years, day and night, even cultivators couldn't endure this torment. As a result, Mei Kangping became the only cultivator in the entire cultivation world with rheumatism and old cold legs.
This could be called extremely honorable.
After nagging like an old lady, Qiao Wan finally picked up her backpack from the table. "I'm off to school now. Uncle, don't stay in the yard too long. Dad will scold you again when he comes back."
Upon hearing this, Mei Kangping's expression changed, feeling overwhelmed, and finally couldn't help but sneer sarcastically, "You are just as talkative as your parents."
Qiao Wan didn't respond, and continued, "Remember to eat on time."
Mei Kangping stiffened slightly, feeling annoyed with himself, turned his head, leaving only the back of his head facing her.
Qiao Wan was puzzled.
Uncle, you're being difficult again!!
I have to say, Qiao Wan and Meng Guangze, this father and daughter, have mastered the skill of petting the fur.
Qiao Wan has been away for half a month. When she came back after being busy with mid-term exams, she received a task from Ma Huaizhen. She put down her school bag, held a bun made by Meng Guangze in her mouth, tied her hair while running out.
After retiring from his position as a demon realm war god, he fell in love with the kitchen. Every day, he happily studied various dishes wearing an apron, and his hobby was to feed her, Xie Xingzhi, Mei Kangping, RuYi, and more than ten other people.
Just as she stepped out, she bumped into a silver-haired young man.
Looking at the man's face, Qiao Wan opened her mouth and said, "Bi...big brother."
Xie Xingzhi nodded slightly, supported her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Be safe on the road."
After being separated for over forty years, feelings need to be nurtured slowly. Qiao Wan hesitated for a moment, reached out and held the man's hand, and then awkwardly lowered her eyes, "Um."
Then she quickly grabbed the bun and ran off.
Then quickly picked up the bun again and ran off.
The task that Ma Huaizhen gave her from far away wasn't very difficult, but the pay was good. He considered that she needed to earn money to support her family.
Mei Kangping worked hard but didn't earn any money. His father taught at Buping College, but the salary was too low. As for Xie Xingzhi, he had money, but unfortunately, a generous young man quickly took it all before he had a chance to enjoy it.
In short, the responsibility of supporting the family fell on this poor young female university student who had not graduated yet.
Qiao Wan, with a flying sword at her feet, quickly finished eating a bun and then unrolled a scroll.
The location was in Luofengzhou, in the eastern Seven Peaks and Ten Ridges, with thousands of caves and residences.
It is said that there were evil spirits causing trouble there.
Upon arrival, guided by the locals, Wen Si Xing Zhu Sword was drawn to slay demons and monsters.
The Wen Si Xing Zhu Sword was sheathed.
After completing the set of actions smoothly like flowing clouds, Qiao Wan tightened her sword, turned around, and left.
Finished work for the day.
Just then, a angry young voice came from behind.
"Bad luck!! How come as soon as I arrive, this monster was already killed? A fifth-rank monster, I could have made a good bow out of its tendons."
Qiao Wan turned towards the voice and met the gaze of the young man.
"You..." The young man looked at her, his eyes widening slightly, then fell on her still unsheathed Wen Si Xing Zhu Sword. "Did you kill this monster?!"
Feeling awkward, Qiao Wan silently put away the beast bones she had just violently torn apart. "Um... maybe?"
"What do you mean maybe?" The young man looked displeased and exclaimed loudly:
"I've been watching this monster for days and nights, and you just killed it?!"
Qiao Wan changed her posture, bowed, and with an attitude refined by Meng Guangze himself, without any faults, said, "I also received a plea for help from the people here to go to Kunshan."
"Are you a student of Kunshan?" The young man paused.
"Not quite." Qiao Wan took a step forward and handed the scroll to the young man.
The young man picked up the scroll, glanced at it briefly, not sure if he had seen it clearly or not. He quickly put away the scroll and, while speaking, gave a fierce glare at the people around him. "Didn't I tell you to watch carefully? Why did you still go looking for Kunshan?"
Since the young man appeared, the people around him all lowered their heads without daring to speak. At this moment, someone with a little more courage lifted their head and said with a wry smile, "Young master, it's not that we didn't listen... We sent over thirty skilled men to watch over day and night, bound the beast tendon with chains, waiting for you to come and take it. But who would have thought that the beast had great strength, broke free and trampled on the crops. We saw that the crops were almost completely destroyed by it. Since you didn't come at the agreed time, we were in a difficult situation and had no choice but to seek help from Kunshan."
These noblemen's sons from wealthy families each had their own ideas, and they hadn't expected that after being three days late, the other party would actually return.
The young man became even angrier at these words, shouting loudly, "So you're blaming me for being late?!"
Qiao Wan said expressionlessly, "Punctuality is a basic principle of being human."
The young man was furious, "What do you know? I was delayed for three days because I was picking up my uncle! Do you know who my uncle is?!"
"You'll be scared when you hear it!!"
Qiao Wan calmly glanced at the teenager in front of her and said, "Raising a nephew like you, your uncle can hardly be considered a gentleman."
"You... how dare you!"
He seemed to admire his uncle very much and blushed immediately, "Don't insult my uncle, he is a great hero in the cultivation world! If it weren't for my uncle in the demon realm, all of you would have been dead long ago!"
In the demon realm?!
Qiao Wan felt a strange sensation in her heart and paused before asking, "Who is your uncle?"
My uncle... my uncle... is Cui Pitan!
Cui? Qiao Wan quickly searched her memory, but she couldn't remember any cultivator with the surname Cui who survived among the two hundred back then.
"That famous..." Before the boy could finish his sentence, a stern voice suddenly came from behind.
Xie Bao, come here!"
The loud noise startled Qiao Wan.
"Oh uncle!!" The boy looked panicked, his face pale and his hands trembling.
"Come here!" The newcomer had a dark face, looking unhappy, and sternly said, "Do I have to come and get you myself?!"
"Elder... elder?" Qiao Wan stared blankly at the man in front of her and unconsciously blurted out.
The man was dressed in plain white clothes, with a bundle of blue hair tied behind his head, his face shining and his expression grave to the point of being cold.
Miaofa frowned slightly, "Qiao Wan, is that you?"
Uncle... uncle?!
Lou Xiaobao yelled loudly, as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes widening in astonishment, "Qiao Wan, you are Qiao Wan?!!"
Lou Xiaobao, who had just been saying "I'll scare you when I say it," suddenly turned as red as a tomato.
He has always respected his uncle who became a monk in his early years, and he has longed for the 251 heroes from ten years ago. Who would have thought that the ordinary-looking girl in front of him is actually... is Qiao Wan!
She looks completely different from the statue! And her outfit is different too!
Miaofa frowned and coldly shouted at Luxiebao, "Sinful troublemaker, go back."
Qiao Wan quickly glanced at Luxiebao, then looked at Miaofa, unable to connect the two together.
After a moment’s pause, Qiao Wan hesitantly asked, "Does the elder live in Luofengzhou?"
"Then, Cui... Cui Pitan...?"
"That is my lay name." The man then seemed to remember something, furrowing his brow slightly. "Are you here to get rid of demons?"
...
The current situation is a bit strange.
Qiao Wan walked tall beside the man, while the young boy who was just acting tough now followed Miaofa obediently like a little rabbit.
It turns out the senior's surname is Cui, and his full name is Cui Pitan.
Some barely noticeable joy and anticipation of uncovering each other's secrets were mixed with a slight awkwardness that slowly spread.
The title of "uncle" seemed to add some excitement to this esteemed senior and monk in an unexpected way.
Since the dinner when they parted ways, Qiao Wan rarely saw Miaofa. She was busy with school and working to support her family, while Miaofa had left the Great Hall of Light and disappeared.
Qiao Wan tried to bury the magical nightmares she had seen, focusing on her studies and the recent midterm exams instead of letting her mind wander.
Maybe she was just overthinking things, Qiao Wan sternly reminded herself not to get carried away.
When she stood in front of the "Cui Mansion," Qiao Wan felt a bit dazed and lost in thought.
"Come." The man walked a step ahead of her, his snowy white robes fluttering lightly as his long blue hair cascaded with a jade ribbon, giving off a cold but otherworldly aura.
"I have something to give to Ma Huaizhen, could you please help me deliver it to him?"
Qiao Wan suddenly snapped out of her daze and hurried to catch up.
As soon as she stepped into the Cui residence, Qiao Wan felt like she had entered a secret territory. Every blade of grass and every tree in the mansion reflected in Qiao Wan's eyes, and she couldn't help but wonder, is this where his childhood lived?
