" Senior Sister Mu, Is this necessary?"

Long Mig forced a smile as he looked at Mu Qinglian with pleading eyes. Mu Qinglian snorted when she heard that. " What? Didn't you say you loved training? What about now?"

She walked to him as she raised her tone. " Or, perhaps you don't wish to train with me?"

" Ah, No, no... You are misunderstanding." Long Ming spoke. " But, It's half of the day has been passed. Must I continue?"

" You saying you can't?"

Long Ming gritted his teeth as he looked at the four iron bracers on his four limbs. They glowed in a faint runic light as Long Ming kept doing stance after stance.

" These are weighing bracers. They block the flow of your True Qi and increase the weight on your body. Using this, you can easily train your physical body and smoothen the flow of True Qi."

Mu Qinglian spoke those words before she asked Long Ming to train. Long Ming was surprised at first, he agreed in the end.

However, When Mu Qinglian adjusted the weight of the bracers, Long Ming's expression turned ugly. Each of the bracers weighed 500 KG, and they felt like mountains weighing on his limbs.

Not to mention, Mu Qinglian asked him to perform the Thirty Six Body Rejuvenation Movements.

Although it was an inferior body exercising method, it becomes absurdly difficult when paired with such weights. And Long Ming has been doing it for quite a few hours.

Seeing Long Ming's expression, Mu Qinglian's face finally softened. " Fine, You can let it go. Go and take some rest."

Long Ming threw the weighing bracers as he fell on the floor. His body sweat shone under the sunlight as Long Ming felt tired.

" Whooo, It was quite something. I felt like my limbs going to be torn apart." Long Ming panted as he stood up.

Doing exercise under the sunlight, Long Ming constantly absorbed the Yang energy from the sun and circulated the Scarlet Yang Qi in his body.

To his surprise, he felt like his body got slightly firmer than before. Not to mention, the Scarlet Yang Qi got condensed and refined once again. Just with a slight infusion of Scarlet Yang Qi, Long Ming felt his body filling with tremendous power.

' Well, I guess she wasn't lying at all. Such training really got a good effect on the physique.' Long Ming thought inwardly.

" What is it? Are you feeling ok?"

Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian as her face was showing some concern. Long Ming chuckled. " I am fine, Senior Sister."

" Hmm, You should go and rest."

The flying boat streaked across the sky as Long Ming saw the scenery. This flying boat was much bigger than the one they used to come to Black Pearl City.

The flying boat looked more ancient and bigger than an ordinary flying boat, not to mention its exceptional speed.

" Heh, This is a special flying boat, a superior item. It possesses extreme speed and defensive capabilities. However, it really burns 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones per hour." Mu Qinglian chuckled.

" So, unless it's a special occasion, Our sect doesn't use it."

Thanks to its speed, They swiftly returned to the Four Seasons Valley. Long Ming looked at the valley from far as he couldn't help but smiles.

" I never noticed, but the Four Seasons Valley looks beautiful from above."

" Right?" Mu Qinglian smiled. " It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. From above, you can notice the four distinct parts of the sect, depicting four seasons."

" The Radiant Summer Palace looks after the techniques and cultivation. The Pale Autumn Palace looks after the accommodation, missions, and items of the sect. The Desolate Winter Hall is directly under the Sect Master and holds disciplinary power. The Enchanting Spring Palace managed the matters outside the sect and resources our sect gathers along with our relationship."

Long Ming nodded as he looked at Mu Qinglian.

" About Sister Ming, I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Mu Qinglian's hair fluttered in the wind as she spoke in a soft voice. " I tried to look for all available methods, but I couldn't find a cure for her."

" However, looking at her previous appearance, My heart is filled with joy and relief. Seeing her smile, I felt like we returned to our good days. It's all thanks to you, Long Ming."

" Haha, You are praising me too much. I just did what Master asked me to do." Long Ming chuckled. " After all, I didn't like a beauty covering her body our of shame and guilt."

" Is that so?" Mu Qinglian pursed her lips. " Then, What is the deal with An Luan?"

" What? She helped me, and now I am returning her freedom. It was just an equivalent exchange." Long Ming shrugged.

" Oh? Is that so? So you didn't seduce her?"

" Nope." Long Ming shook his head vigorously. " After all, Do I look like such a person?"

" You don't?" Mu Qinglian gave a light snort.

As they bickered, the flying boat slowly landed in the Four Seasons Valley. Meng Zhi looked at Long Ming and Mu Qinglian as she waved her hands.

" I have done my work. Now, you guys go and report to Sect Master."

" Why? You are not coming with us?" Mu Qinglian asked. Meng Zhi shrugged. " Nope, I am just too tired. I am returning to the Eternal Spring Tower."

Then, she looked at Long Ming. " Little brother, Why don't you come with me too? After all, you should reward yourself after doing such hard work, no?"

Before Long Ming could answer, Mu Qinglian held his arm and dragged him away.

" No need. He is coming with me."

" My my, Little Qing is being a bit too possessive." Meng Zhi chuckled.

" Hmph!"

Long Ming sighed as he followed Mu Qinglian.

" Greetings, Master."

Mu QInglian and Long Ming entered the Four Seasons Palace as they bowed before Xia Yuqing.

Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming as she spoke. " Hmm, I heard what you did in Black Pearl City. I thought I told you to not do anything major?"

" Well, The situation was ripe. So, I couldn't stop myself from making a move." Long Ming spoke with a light tone.

Mu Qinglian stepped forward as she recounted the event. Hearing the deal with Lan Family, even Xia Yuqing became surprised.

" What? Is that true?"

" Are you saying Lan Family will give us 75% of Ocenide Steel and Deep Sea Iron every year?"

All the elders became startled as they looked at Long Ming and Mu Qinglian with shock.

Even Grand Elder couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard the news. However, When Mu Qinglian presented the blood contract before them, all of them took a breath of cold air.

" Doesn't that mean the Black Pearl City just returned under us once again?"

" This...This is really a big news."

" Hmph, I guess you are worth nurturing after all. Since you finished your task, I guess Grand Elder has no objections?" Xia Yuqing looked at the Grand Elder.

" Well..."

Grand Elder bit her lips as she got up. " Do as you wish."

Long Ming chuckled as he got up, " Grand Elder, Please wait for a moment."

" Hm?"

Grand Elder frowned a bit as she looked at Long Ming. " What is it?"

" I think someone wishes to meet with you."

Suddenly, a person entered the hall as that girl bowed before the Grand Elder.

" Greetings, Master."

" Ya-Yang Wei? Wei'er?!!"

This time even Xia Yuqing became dumbfounded when she saw Ming Yuexin's appearance.

" Wei'er! Your beauty...It returned!"

Grand Elder rushed as she hugged Ming Yuexin. Long Ming was dumbfounded when he heard that. ' Yang Wei? Isn't her name Ming Yuexin?'

" Ahem, Long Ming, can you tell me in detail what happened to Ming Yuexin?" Xia Yuqing coughed lightly as she looked at him.

" Reporting to Sect Master, I found the flawless method of Scorching Summer Flowing Energy Art and resolved the root of the problem in her body. After that, I used medicine to restore her beauty."

" Is that so?"

[ Ding! Grand Elder's affection toward you increased! Hist gets 20,000 AP]

" Hmm, I guess you aren't that bad." Grand Elder spoke with a light smile. " But, Thank you for helping my one and only disciple. Come to my abode to get your reward."

" As Grand Elder says."

Xia Yuqing looked at them as she sighed. " Long Ming and Ming Yuexin did an excellent job this time. However, currently, we are facing another issue for this moment."

" The Imperial Tournament is about to begin. Our Sect has been given ten quotas. However, The Zhongye Sect is coming here to challenge our sect tomorrow." Xia Yuqing spoke.

" We are going to bet the quotas of Imperial Tournament."

Long Ming was surprised when he heard that. " So, Are they powerful?"

" Apparently, Their disciples are well trained. But their forte is their high-quality weapons and explosive battle arts. And, I am afraid, we might lose some of our quotas." Grand Elder replied.

" Well, I think I have an idea." Long Ming didn't take much time to think of this idea.

" Oh? What is it?"

" Just reject them. Why must we bet with them since we know we are going to lose?"
