Chapter 106

Su Wuniang's seat was the third seat on the right side of the main table, ranked after the Su family head Su Zhi and the second master Su Xun, and even placed before the Su family's eldest son. This was the first time she had been ranked like this in a formal meeting, which also signaled that Su Wuniang had bypassed Su Dalang and become the next head of the Su family.

Su Wuniang took her seat accordingly, and as her husband, Liu Xiaolou sat beside her.

Sitting at the same table with her was also a signal, signaling that Su Wuniang already had a husband and would not marry out again. Such signals would continue in the future until Su Wuniang's status was stable and various families would no longer have any ulterior motives.

But Liu Xiaolou was a bit restless, for no other reason than his guilty conscience. Especially when facing the three inner-sect disciples of the Dongyang Sect, his palms were sweating.

Actually, it was fine when facing Lou Zhenwu and Su Zhenjiu, but the key was facing Han Wuwang. That discomfort was indescribable, and he could only comfort himself in his heart: he didn't see my face at the time, didn't hear me speak, didn't see my face, didn't hear me speak...

Fortunately, when Han Wuwang looked at him, he didn't show anything unusual, which made Liu Xiaolou feel a little relieved, and he looked around at everyone present.

He had heard of Lou Zhenwu and Su Zhenjiu. After breaking through Jinping Villa the year before last, he heard that Lou Zhenwu led the way to break through the mountain gate of the seventh branch of the Pai Sect. He was a leader among the young disciples of the Dongyang Sect and had been stable in the Golden Core cultivation for many years.

Su Zhenjiu had some connection with the outer-sect deacon Su Shopkeeper of Zhongyi Square in Tanzhou. Back then, in order to join the Dongyang Sect, he asked Su Shopkeeper for help, and it seemed he went through Su Zhenjiu's path, but it didn't work. It was said that he was in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Needless to say about Han Wuwang, he had chased him all the way two years ago. At that time, he felt that his cultivation was about the same as his, and he didn't know how it was now. But such a large sect disciple, occupying the advantage of a Cave Heaven blessed land, was not comparable to a cultivator like him who completely relied on spirit stones. Presumably, he should have already surpassed him, right?

Liu Xiaolou didn't dare to look at Han Wuwang much, but Han Wuwang seemed very interested in him. When their eyes met, Han Wuwang even smiled and signaled to Liu Xiaolou. Liu Xiaolou had to squeeze out a smile in return and then quickly moved his gaze away.

He glanced at Su Dalang, who was sitting in the lower seat beside him, and saw that he had no expression, not knowing what his mood was at the moment, but he thought he should be a bit uncomfortable. After all, the third seat of the Su family had been sat by him for many years, and now that he had to give it up, he was afraid that anyone would feel uncomfortable.

But what could he do? Among the nine sons of the Su family of this generation, none had reached Foundation Establishment so far. Su Dalang was already over forty and was considered the one with the highest cultivation among the sons, but he was stuck at the tenth level of Qi Refinement, and there had been no sign of Foundation Establishment for fifteen years.

Just in terms of cultivation progress, he was a full fifteen years behind Su Wuniang. Even if he reached Foundation Establishment in the future, his achievements wouldn't be very high, so how could he take over the Su family?

Lou Zhenwu nodded to Su Wuniang: "I have long heard of the name of Wuniang of Mount Shenwu, and her Furong Flying Knife is unpredictable. Today, I finally see it, and I am very fortunate."

Su Wuniang smiled and bowed: "The names of the true people of the Dongyang Sect are spread throughout the world, especially the Fifth True Person, whose cultivation is high and whose progress is rapid, who understands the situation and is sensitive to reason. My little tricks, how dare I deserve the praise of Senior Brother Lou?"

Su Zhenjiu also congratulated Su Wuniang and then said to Liu Xiaolou with a smile: "To tell you the truth, Virtuous Brother Liu, I and Fifth Senior Brother were both surprised and regretful when we heard that you were married to Mount Shenwu. Back then, when the Dongyang Sect selected disciples, Virtuous Brother Liu was already on the candidate list, but due to a twist of fate, someone else was chosen in the end. It seems that talent will inevitably not be buried. Mount Shenwu has gained a good son-in-law, and my Dongyang Sect has lost a talent."

Lou Zhenwu also sighed: "It was my mistake, I didn't recognize the gold and jade."

Liu Xiaolou was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up and bowed: "I really don't deserve it, it's all my lack of fate."

Even Su Zhi and Su Xun were full of surprise and frequently paid attention to Liu Xiaolou. Su Zhi said: "There is such an old fate? My son-in-law is not talented, but he is highly regarded by the two of you, which is an overpraise."

After the pleasantries were over, they continued the previous topic.

Su Zhi said: "I already know what was discussed just now. Tomorrow, I will let Wuniang return to the sect to report the intention of your sect and ask the elders to make a decision."

Lou Zhenwu nodded: "Then thank you very much. No matter what the Danxia Sect decides, please inform us as soon as possible so that we can go back and report."

Su Zhi said: "The Su family will also try their best to strive for the sect to come forward to mediate. Whether it is the Qingyu Sect, your sect, Mount Tianmu, or the Zhanglong Sect, they are all famous large sects. If they really fight, it will not be a blessing for the cultivation world. Su believes that the elders of our sect should be able to see this point."

Su Zhenjiu sighed on the side: "It's not our fault, it's really that the Qingyu Sect has been aggressive these years. They have no evidence, but they insist that our family did it to their patrolling deacon surnamed Hou. Our Dongyang Sect can help find Hou's whereabouts, but the blame cannot be placed on our sect!"

Su Wuniang asked: "I came late, please forgive me, three senior brothers. I have heard about Hou Sheng, but I don't know why the Qingyu Sect insists that it was your sect's doing?"

Su Zhenjiu explained again: "The year before last, in the spring and summer, our outer-sect Jinping Villa was taken advantage of by thieves, and several hall masters of the seventh branch of the Pai Sect were involved. After finding out, Fifth Senior Brother led people to break through their mountain gate and killed several hall masters on the spot. Among them, one seemed to be involved in a case that Hou Sheng was handling, and he was also investigating that hall master. Later, he came to the door and demanded the stolen goods left by that hall master. We clearly didn't see the thing he wanted. I received him at the time. He was a deacon, although he was an inner-sect member, he hadn't stepped into the cultivation threshold, but his words were very unfriendly and had no respect for his elders. As we talked, we got into a disagreement. I drove him out of the mountain gate at that time and also said a few harsh words. As a result, not long after, Hou Sheng disappeared. That's all."

Su Wuniang thought for a while and asked: "What did he demand?"

Su Zhenjiu said: "The sect master token of a fallen sect. Our sect didn't see this thing. When asked which sect it was, he wouldn't say."

Su Wuniang asked again: "What harsh words did Senior Brother Su say at the time?"

Su Zhenjiu sighed: "I was also angered by him and spoke without thinking. At the time, I said that Dongyang Mountain didn't welcome him, Xiangnan didn't welcome him, and if I saw him come to Xiangnan again, I would definitely not be polite to him."

Su Wuniang pondered: "Then the Qingyu Sect shouldn't have come to a conclusion so easily."

Su Zhenjiu said: "Their family's momentum has been too strong in recent years. Our family, Mount Tianmu, and Zhanglong Mountain can no longer tolerate it."

Su Zhi said: "Wuniang, the Dongyang Sect has a deep connection with our family. When you return to the sect tomorrow, try your best to help and don't be negligent."

Lou Zhenwu added: "Actually, we got some clues before we came. Two months before Hou Sheng disappeared, a female entertainer had a close relationship with him. After he disappeared, this female entertainer also disappeared. If your sect is willing to come forward to mediate, our sect can present all the clues we know."

Su Zhi nodded: "In this way, it will be easier for Wuniang to speak when she returns to the mountain."

After the matter was discussed, the Su family arranged a banquet in Gualu Hall to entertain the three people from the Dongyang Sect. Liu Xiaolou was also ordered to accompany them and drink with them. When toasting Han Wuwang, Han Wuwang smiled unintentionally: "I see Brother Liu, as if he were an old friend, and I always feel like I've seen him somewhere. Haha, it should be fate."

Liu Xiaolou felt a chill, smiled awkwardly, left the seat, and went out to relieve himself and avoid the wind.
