Chapter 1321: Chapter 1321

"The physical injuries, I am fully confident I can heal, but the emotional trauma takes time. I will stay with her until she is completely recovered."

Tang Ming promised with a serious expression, "Uncle Wu, don’t worry, I will take responsibility for Xiaoyu. I will never let her get hurt again."

"Ah, I used to hate you, because of you, my daughter ended up . But if you truly have a way to make Xiaoyu healthy again, then I beg you to save my daughter."

Wu Dao sighed and looked at Tang Ming with excitement.

"Uncle Wu, don’t say that. It’s my responsibility to help Xiaoyu recover since she ended up because of me."

Tang Ming quickly supported Wu Dao, "Help me prepare some materials, I will immediately perform surgery on Xiaoyu. If you agree, I will delete part of her memory, which will benefit her in the future."

"Okay, okay, as long as you can make her well, I’ll do whatever you say."

Wu Dao nodded repeatedly, speaking with a heavy heart, "If memory can be erased, that would be wonderful. This kind of thing is a painful memory for any woman."

"Hmm, the first surgery will take about two days. During these days, I can’t be disturbed by anyone. I will deploy my own people to guard, and I also ask the Wu family to send experts to stand guard."

Tang Ming thought for a moment and instructed solemnly.

"Sure, there’s no problem with that."

Wu Dao agreed without hesitation.

Then Tang Ming started listing a bunch of things needed for the treatment and formally began the recovery surgery for Wu Xiaoyu.

In a hotel room in Songlan City, Zi Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, helplessly watching Xia Wei’er happily jumping around on the floor.

"My good disciple, even knowing that guy is back, you don’t have to be this happy, right?"

Zi Yuan complained with an exasperated face.

"Hehe, I just knew he would be safe. Not only has he recovered his cultivation, but he also became a powerful Nine-star Martial Master. That’s amazing."

Xia Wei’er’s excited face was flushed red.

"Had I known this, I shouldn’t have told you about it."

Zi Yuan rolled her eyes.

Ever since Tang Ming disappeared, Xia Wei’er had been pestering her to search for Tang Ming everywhere.

But Tang Ming’s disappearance was too mysterious; even with her strength, she couldn’t find any clues.

And Xia Wei’er was stubborn, insisting on staying until there was news of Tang Ming, so Zi Yuan had no choice but to look for information daily.

Until a few days ago, upheavals in Songlan City, with Chen Cang and his two disciples suddenly returning and taking action, made Zi Yuan realize someone might be behind them.

After an investigation, she finally traced Tang Ming’s whereabouts, and then received news of Tang Ming crippling Sun Zhuangjia in the Imperial City.

Zi Yuan was shocked upon hearing this. Sun Zhuangjia was a Nine-star Martial Master, and for Tang Ming to cripple him indicated not only a recovery of cultivation but a rise to the level of defeating a Nine-star Martial Master, which was somewhat extraordinary.

Afterwards, Zi Yuan returned to inform Xia Wei’er of the news, and then Xia Wei’er became .

"Yes, yes, now that you know he’s safe and his cultivation has recovered, you should be at ease to leave with me, right?"

Zi Yuan shook her head helplessly.

"Yes, I’m ready to go at any time."

Xia Wei’er nodded repeatedly, firmly stating, "Now that he’s grown to a Nine-star Martial Master, I must strive to cultivate hard, to not be a burden to him."

"Don’t worry, as long as you work hard, you will surely surpass him in the future."

Zi Yuan was full of confidence in her.

"Master, you say he’s already a Nine-star Martial Master, will the people of Netherworld Road still be a threat to him in a year?"

Xia Wei’er quickly ran to the bedside, looking at Zi Yuan with a nervous face.

"That’s hard to say."

Zi Yuan furrowed her brow and said gravely, "Most hidden sects have Martial General-level experts, and both Mo Liuye and his brother are Nine-star Martial Masters. No one can guarantee they won’t break through to Martial General in a year."

"You mean, Ming’s danger isn’t resolved?"

Xia Wei’er’s face changed dramatically.

"Of course, it’s not resolved. Netherworld Road is not to be trifled with. If this lad can’t break through to Martial General in a year, facing the relentless pursuit by Netherworld Road, it’s still a life-and-death situation."

Zi Yuan sighed uncertainly.

"Then, can I break through to Martial General cultivation within a year?"

Xia Wei’er looked at Zi Yuan with hopeful eyes.

"That’s also hard to say. Although you have the Bright Moon Body, trying to ascend to Martial General within a year involves suffering that ordinary people can’t endure."

Zi Yuan’s expression turned peculiar, "I’ve cultivated for most of my life and am only at the Peak of Nine-star. Even with the protection of your Bright Moon Body, trying to do it within a year... unless you’re prepared for an almost suicidal path, undergoing inhuman training and tempering in the Holy Land might achieve this goal."

"I can, I can do it."

Xia Wei’er nodded firmly, "No matter how bitter it may be, I can persist. As long as it allows me to break through to Martial General within a year, so I can protect Ming’s safety, I am not afraid even of death."

"Silly girl, are you serious?"

Zi Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling some regret for setting this one-year promise.

When they made the agreement earlier, Zi Yuan just wanted to give Xia Wei’er motivation for cultivation. But seeing her stance, Xia Wei’er truly intends to reach Martial General cultivation within a year, which is almost akin to courting death!

"Of course, I’m serious. I must protect Ming’s safety."

Xia Wei’er stubbornly nodded, "Master, let’s go to Rainbow Cloud Peak to cultivate now."

"Ahem, actually, there’s no rush. Didn’t you want to see that lad one last time? Why not wait for him to return and say goodbye before we go?"

Zi Yuan, on this occasion, wasn’t in a hurry anymore, mainly because she hadn’t expected Tang Ming could break through to a Nine-star Martial Master, which made him an observably talented young genius.

"No. I love Ming too much; I’m afraid once I see him, I won’t be able to leave."

Xia Wei’er shook her head, steadfastly saying, "To become stronger for myself and to stay by Ming’s side in the future, this step must be taken."

"Alright then, let’s prepare and leave right away."

Zi Yuan helplessly nodded.

"Wait, before leaving, I need to see my close friends. Even if I can’t see Ming, I must explain things to them."

Xia Wei’er thought for a moment, and made another request.

"Alright, as long as you’re happy, anything works for me."

Zi Yuan smiled helplessly.

Since Tang Ming went to the Imperial City, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli had been studying frantically every day. With the college entrance exams approaching, they had delayed their courses for so long, and if they don’t put in the effort to review, the exams will be a disaster.
