Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181: Xia Wu’s Complicated Feelings

——

Because they had already decided to stay on Minghan Island, everyone subsequently entered a secluded state, especially Ling Xiang, who was eager for a breakthrough, and Lan Ling, who was determined to cultivate well. They both found suitable opportunities early on and went into complete seclusion.

Han Jing, on the other hand, did not completely shut herself off to cultivate. For her, self-breakthrough often required a chance rather than focused cultivation, so she only secluded herself occasionally and spent most of her time often consulting with Ming Qianyi and exploring the trading markets on Minghan Island.

Xiao Xue, however, was completely constrained by Lianwu, and without his company, she was strictly forbidden from roaming about. She had to complete the tasks he gave her daily, causing Xiao Xue to complain endlessly. But grumbling aside, in the young girl’s heart, Lianwu was still her favorite person.

Su Yu cultivated while handling the various messages received from Ming Qianyi. Occasionally, he met with Shi Qi to discuss the cracking of arrays. What puzzled Han Jing the most was that although he seemed to be the most leisurely among them, Su Yu was progressing at an astonishing rate after they all settled down quietly.

She couldn’t help but wonder again, could it be that their Xia Clan’s genes really were this extraordinary?

Everyone had their own tasks to do, and Xia Wu enjoyed herself teaching A zhu.

She couldn’t help but think of Zhu’er from time to time, but seeing A zhu’s progress, she felt very gratified.

Only one thing troubled her.

And that was... Fengxi.

After they settled on Minghan Island, and after such a long period of nurturing, Fengxi’s soul, which had been damaged due to the depletion of Divine Power in the Beiming Pearl, had now greatly recovered and needn’t stay in Xia Wu’s Heart Protecting Jade anymore.

Therefore, Fengxi, often wanting to go out for fresh air because there was no good place to go and everyone was busy, could only watch Xia Wu teach her disciple, occasionally giving her some advice when in the mood.

This left Xia Wu with very complex feelings.

Although she had kept many male companions in her mansion, most were just to share drinks and listen to music with her. From the beginning, she only saw those men as servants and had never had any heartfelt conversations or intimate talks with them, so she had always maintained a distance from men, seemingly close but actually distant.

Also, due to her emotional knots, even though she and Yinting were destined not to be a couple, after so many years of waiting and hoping, the end was absurd. In her subconscious, she still regarded Yinting as the only man in her life, even though he no longer had any relationship with her and everything had ended completely.

So she wasn’t accustomed to men genuinely approaching her, chatting with her, and trying to understand her.

Thus, Miao Ke, who had accompanied her for so many years, ultimately never truly understood her and even did something so extreme.

...So, when Fengxi appeared by her side every few days, and especially when he emerged from her Heart Protecting Jade to be near her, for a day or two, Xia Wu could convince herself not to think too much. But as time goes by and the occurrences increase, she unwittingly developed a very strange feeling.
