Chapter 103

On the way back to Mount Shenwu, Su Jiuniang's steps were very light. Liu Xiaolou followed behind her, not seeing her say anything, but the smile at the corners of her mouth reflected the joy in her heart.

Liu Xiaolou observed her expression and, seeing that she was in a good mood, breathed a sigh of relief and continued to think about the scene that had just happened.

Yin Wugong's protection of his outer residence wasn't tight at all, and it couldn't even be called protection. Judging by the skills of those few guards when they carried water to put out the fire, they were all martial artists, and not one of them had passed the second level of Qi Refinement.

What was the reason for this? Was it because the concubine who couldn't enter the main house was herself a cultivation expert? Or was it that Yin Wugong never thought that his outer residence would be robbed?

Should he make a trip back to Mount Wulong and contact the brothers to start working? Su Jiuniang said that the Yin family was good at refining spirit incense, which was an important material for the Qingyu Sect to perform the Divine Striking Art. If they could get a batch, how many spirit stones could they exchange for?

If they wanted to plan this, they had to consider Yin Wugong's cultivation. It was extremely difficult to cause trouble for a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How should they start?

"What are you pondering?" Su Jiuniang asked suddenly.

"Ah? Nothing." Liu Xiaolou was startled by the sudden question. He looked at Su Jiuniang's eyes and saw that her gaze was full of excitement, only then realizing that Su Jiuniang hadn't seen through his thoughts, nor did she want to ask what he was pondering; she was just in a good mood and simply wanted to say a few words.

Just showing off her martial arts—although it couldn't really be called martial arts.

So he responded randomly: "We should have burned that outer residence."

"That won't do; we aren't going to make enemies, just to lure him out. As long as the matter is done, we shouldn't create extra complications." Su Jiuniang was indeed in a good mood and didn't reprimand Liu Xiaolou, but patiently explained. Then she finally couldn't help but say: "You didn't see his suspicious look; it was truly ridiculous."

Liu Xiaolou asked again: "Will that centipede stop pestering you because of my appearance? Will he supply goods to Mount Shenwu? Does Lord Lord Jingzhao have such a great deterrent power?"

Su Jiuniang said: "You don't know Lord Lord Jingzhao's status in the Qingyu Sect; he is the hope of the Qingyu Sect for the next hundred years. Yin Wugong absolutely wouldn't dare to offend him."

Liu Xiaolou touched his face: "Is it really that similar?"

Su Jiuniang turned back and stared for a while, then nodded: "Very similar, the side profile is very similar."

Liu Xiaolou sighed: "Is this my honor?"

Su Jiuniang didn't answer again, her gaze suddenly becoming ethereal and her mind wandering.

Liu Xiaolou said again: "Jiuniang, if you like Lord Lord Jingzhao, why don't we plan carefully and do a business? If I can help you marry him, how much can you pay me..."

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!" Su Jiuniang immediately turned hostile.

"As you wish." Liu Xiaolou said helplessly.

When they returned to Mount Shenwu, it was almost noon. Su Jiuniang said: "Go back." and returned to Yunhai Pavilion on her own.

Liu Xiaolou was even more helpless and speechless. It was true that he had promised to go through fire and water, but even going through fire and water should have some meaning, right? Although he hadn't really gone through fire and water, he had been busy for nearly two days and traveled hundreds of li, yet he didn't get any reward for his hard work, which was completely against the rules. If any mountain head in Mount Wulong dared to do this, they would definitely have no friends in the future!

Returning to Yiling Hall, he saw Susu and asked: "No one looked for me these two days, right?"

Susu replied: "No."

Liu Xiaolou asked again: "Where is the Lady?"

Susu said: "Still cultivating in the back mountain, she hasn't returned." Seeing that Liu Xiaolou seemed a bit upset, she asked: "Young Master, did you suffer any grievances at Yunhai Pavilion these two days?"

Liu Xiaolou waved his hand: "No. How would she dare?"

Susu took out a small pouch: "Young Master, the monthly allowance has been issued, one spirit stone and ten taels of silver."

This was truly good news, immediately diluting the resentment of Liu Xiaolou's wasted effort. He opened the pouch and happily took out the spirit stone, examining it carefully as if he had never seen a spirit stone before.

Yes, he had indeed never seen this kind of spirit stone, a spirit stone that one could enjoy without hard work. Even the spirit stones his teacher gave him back then required him to work hard to complete various assessments. Every time he got one, he didn't know how many beatings he had endured.

Suddenly, his eyes turned red, and he felt like crying.

Weighing the spirit stone in his hand, he put it into his bosom and handed the two ingots of silver in the pouch to Susu: "Your wages."

Susu pushed it away in a panic: "What is Young Master doing? I have my own, this is Young Master's."

Liu Xiaolou asked: "What is your monthly allowance?"

Susu said: "I get six taels a month, which is more than enough. I have enough to eat and drink in the manor, and I get new clothes every year. I've saved them all up, so I don't need it."

"No spirit stones?"

"Not in the monthly allowance, but the Lady will reward me. The Lady... the Lady likes me very much and often takes me into the Cave Heaven to cultivate. I don't need spirit stones in the Cave Heaven."

"Cave Heaven, huh... Danxia Cave Heaven?"

"Yes, Young Master will definitely have the opportunity to enter the Cave Heaven in the future."

"I dare not hope for it... hehe... Young Master, I don't have spirit stones to give you, only silver. Whether you use it or not is your business, but giving it to you is my business as your Young Master. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to sleep peacefully, and my cultivation will have mental obstacles!"

"Young Master..."

"Take it! If you don't use it yourself, send it to your family."

"I haven't had any family since I was little..."

"... It's fine, from now on, I, your Young Master, am your family. By the way, I heard that in wealthy families, the wife's personal maid is also part of the dowry. You should also count as my person, doesn't that make us one family? It's just that I don't know if there's such a rule for a son-in-law living with his wife's family?"

"Young Master..."

"Susu, come..."

"Young Master?"

"Come... one family doesn't speak of two families. It's still what I, your Young Master, told you before, try my Three Mystical Sect's cultivation method. This is a secret technique, I don't pass it on to just anyone!"

"Didn't we try it last time? Didn't Young Master fail?"

"Let's try again, first find that feeling, if we can't find it, we'll try dual cultivation... what kind of clothes are you wearing, it's so troublesome!"

"Young Master... I'll do it myself... no, no, it's like this... ah, Young Master, it won't work, I haven't told the Lady yet... hmm, if the Lady doesn't allow it, then I can't first..."

"Don't worry about telling her yet, first find the feeling, it won't be too late to talk about it after finding the feeling... or it doesn't matter if you don't tell her, you won't run to confess to her yourself, right?"

"Dong dong dong dong..." A knock on the door sounded, and Xiao Huan asked outside: "Sister Susu, is Young Master back?"

After a flurry of putting on clothes, Liu Xiaolou was extremely depressed: "I'm back! What is it?"

Xiao Huan said: "Young Master, Young Master Jiao from Lion Ridge is here to see you, waiting outside the garden."

Susu chuckled, smoothed her clothes and hair bun, and opened the door: "Young Master has been back for less than a quarter of an hour, he hasn't rested yet."

Xiao Huan smiled bitterly: "Young Master Jiao said he is familiar with Young Master, so he came to visit, and he won't leave, just waiting outside the garden..."

Liu Xiaolou had to get out of bed: "He is indeed an acquaintance, let's go, let's see him. Xiao Huan, invite him in."

Greeting Young Master Jiao, who was led into the garden by Xiao Huan, the two looked at each other for a moment, and Young Master Jiao laughed: "Old brother, it's been years since we parted, we meet again!"

Liu Xiaolou stepped forward and held his arms, sighing: "Brother Hutou, you hid it from me so well!"

This Young Master Jiao was none other than the Tiger-Headed Dragon who was recruited as cannon fodder by the Zang family when the three sects besieged the Qingyu Sect!
