Chapter 100: Through Fire and Water (Extra for Alliance Leader Xian Shi Wan Wan)

Returning to Yiling Hall, Susu saw his troubled expression and comforted him: "I'll go to the kitchen to see if I can get a fish for the Young Master."

Liu Xiaolou held his head and got into bed, burrowing into the quilt: "I'm counting on you, Susu."

Susu left the Qingyu Furong Garden and came to the large kitchen outside the Gualu Hall. The kitchen was filled with smoke and heat. She found the steward in charge of the kitchen and asked: "Mother Song, is there any Golden-Bearded Dragon Carp left in the kitchen?"

Mother Song asked: "Is it for Wuniang?"

Susu said: "It's for the Young Master."

Mother Song couldn't help but laugh: "Young Master, eh? Go back and tell the Young Master that there are no more Dragon Carp this month; wait until next month."

Susu asked again: "What about the crayfish?"

Mother Song said: "None left either."

Susu said: "I saw a string of crayfish caught on the back mountain yesterday, at least a dozen. How could they be gone?"

Mother Song put her hands on her hips and said: "My good girl, there are only thirteen left. Jiuniang returned to the mountain today, and the Eldest Young Master is holding a banquet, which requires nine. Who would dare to use the rest without the Master's word? Tell the Young Master to wait until next month."

Susu smiled all over her face and held Mother Song's hand: "Mother, if I go back empty-handed, the Young Master will scold me."

Mother Song sneered: "He dares? If he puts on the airs of a Young Master and dares to say half a word against you, Susu, does he still want to eat and drink well in the future? What is his status? Doesn't he understand it himself?"

Susu pulled Mother Song's hand and shook it gently: "Mother, the Young Master is still very good; he won't scold me. Please help me this once."

Mother Song sighed: "Alright, for the sake of you, Susu, I'll spare a pair of crayfish for him. Don't let it happen again."

After Susu left, Mother Song looked at the small gold ingot in her palm, grinned, and tucked it into her bosom.

In the evening, a pair of crayfish was sent to Yiling Hall. Susu steamed them in a small pot herself, paired them with two large bowls of spirit rice, and served them to Liu Xiaolou, along with a small pot of *Dangui* fragrance, making Liu Xiaolou eat with great satisfaction.

After spending the night transforming the spiritual power of the crayfish, spirit rice, and *Dangui* spirit wine, Liu Xiaolou sat and waited for Su Jiuniang's summons. During this time, he had Susu inquire about when the monthly spirit stones would be distributed. After Susu went to the accounting office and returned, she said: "In three days. Is the Young Master in a hurry to use spirit stones? I have three here; should I give them to the Young Master for an emergency?"

Liu Xiaolou didn't have a single spirit stone on him. Although he was very thirsty for them, he still had a bottom line as a person and politely declined Susu's kindness. Wait, it was only three days anyway. The Daoist had gone several months without a spirit stone before; hadn't he survived that too?

In the evening, Su Jiuniang's maid, Miss Xiao Qin, arrived. Liu Xiaolou told Susu and followed Miss Xiao Qin to the Yunhai Pavilion. The Yunhai Pavilion was Su Jiuniang's residence, located on a high peak of Mount Shenwu. According to Miss Xiao Qin, whenever it rained on Mount Shenwu, one could see a sea of clouds here.

Liu Xiaolou had never been to the Yunhai Pavilion before. Following Miss Xiao Qin up the mountain, he found that the terrain was indeed steep, but he couldn't see the scenery in the night, which was a slight regret.

While climbing the mountain, Liu Xiaolou seized the opportunity to ask: "Miss Miss Xiao Qin, I wonder if it's convenient to ask something?"

Miss Xiao Qin said: "Please speak, Fifth Young Master."

Liu Xiaolou asked: "Why does your Young Lady, Jiuniang, always ask me to turn around when she sees me?"

Miss Xiao Qin immediately covered her mouth and laughed: "About that, Fifth Young Master, perhaps you should ask my Young Lady yourself."

Liu Xiaolou sighed: "Your Young Lady is very fierce; how would I dare to ask? Miss Miss Xiao Qin, please do me a favor and tell me what I did wrong so I can pay attention next time. If you help me this time, if there is anything I, Liu Xiaolou, can do for you in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Miss Xiao Qin thought for a while and replied: "I'm just guessing, it might not be true. Perhaps you look like someone... hmm, just your profile looks like him."

This answer was truly unexpected. Liu Xiaolou was stunned and pursued: "Like who?"

Miss Xiao Qin said: "Young Master Lord Lord Jingzhao, the third-ranked inner-sect disciple of the Qingyu Sect."

Liu Xiaolou said unhappily: "So that's it? After all this, it's because my appearance is similar to someone else? This Lord Lord Jingzhao who has been making me suspicious all day, does he have any special features?"

Miss Xiao Qin curled her lips and said: "Young Master Lord Lord Jingzhao has exceptional talent. Last year, when he just turned twenty-five, he broke through to Golden Core on Wulong Mountain. He is a figure rarely seen in the Qingyu Sect in a hundred years. It is said that the Qingyu Sect's prosperity for the next few decades all depends on him. Fifth Young Master, you should be content that your profile looks like him!"

Liu Xiaolou asked: "Is it that Jiuniang has feelings for Young Master Lord Lord Jingzhao..."

Miss Xiao Qin smiled: "Don't talk nonsense. By the way, don't say I told you; I'm just guessing, it doesn't count. Even if I said it, I won't admit it."

Liu Xiaolou quickly said: "Don't worry, my mouth is absolutely tight! Thank you, Miss Miss Xiao Qin. If there is anything I need to help with in the future, just speak!"

Miss Xiao Qin shook her head dismissively: "What could there be?"

Because it was built on a cliff, there wasn't much open space, so the Yunhai Pavilion wasn't large, consisting of only five rooms in the front and back.

After entering the courtyard, Su Jiuniang had been waiting for a long time and ordered Miss Xiao Qin: "Change his clothes."

So Liu Xiaolou was taken to the side room by Miss Xiao Qin for a lot of fuss. Not only were his outer clothes changed, but even his hair bun was untied and retied, making him look completely different.

During the process of tidying up, Su Jiuniang watched the whole time, occasionally giving a few pointers. After it was finished, she looked him up and down, left and right, for a long time, suddenly sighed, and then said: "Let's go."

She also ordered Miss Xiao Qin: "Tomorrow you go to the Qingyu Furong Garden and keep an eye on it. If anyone asks, say he is here with me. If no one asks, don't say anything."

Liu Xiaolou followed Su Jiuniang out of the Yunhai Pavilion in a daze, went down from the other side of the mountain, and soon left the Mount Shenwu Manor.

Liu Xiaolou reminded her: "Jiuniang, if we are going far, should we tell Wuniang?"

Su Jiuniang said: "Fifth Sister won't ask about you, and I'm afraid no one in the manor will ask where you are. Don't worry, even if someone asks, didn't I let Miss Xiao Qin go to the Furong Garden to keep an eye on it?"

Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but say: "Are we really going on a long journey? Jiuniang, what exactly is the matter? Can you tell me so I can prepare in advance?"

Su Jiuniang said: "Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. Don't talk too much!"

Liu Xiaolou didn't dare to say any more and followed Su Jiuniang forward in the night. He identified the direction, but they were heading west all the way, and he didn't know where they were going.

By dawn, they rested for a while in the wilderness. Su Jiuniang wiped her sleeve and took out a pot of clear water and a plate of pastries, which made Liu Xiaolou very envious: "Jiuniang, was this taken from a storage magic treasure?"

Jiuniang glanced at him without answering, only urging: "Eat quickly, and continue on the road after eating."

By the afternoon, estimating they had traveled more than 150 *li* to the west, a market town appeared in front. Jiuniang stopped again and said to Liu Xiaolou: "We're here."

Liu Xiaolou asked: "Where is this?"

Jiuniang looked at the market town and replied: "Xikou."
