Chapter 120

Looking at the time, it was already late at night. If the time in this Cave Heaven world is the same as the outside, then it should be midnight now, right? There are still four hours until tomorrow's ceremony, and he can still take advantage of the spring pool, just as if he had eaten two more bowls of spirit rice.

But he wanted to calm down and cultivate well, but the situation didn't allow it. Not long after he sat down, the door was knocked again. This time, the person knocking didn't recognize him, wearing a bamboo hat, pressed very low. When Liu Xiaolou opened the door, he was startled by his attire and almost drew his sword.

Liu Xiaolou is from Wulong Mountain, and he can be said to be quite sensitive to bamboo hats.

This person was not old, looking only five or six years older than Liu Xiaolou. After the door opened, he whispered: "Is the younger brother Liu Xiaolou, the son-in-law of the Su family? No need for this, I have no malice."

"Forgive my clumsy eyes, who are you?"

"Please follow me."

"It's late, my Lady will be back at any time—"

"That's fine, hurry up, come in and talk."

He flashed into the door, closed the door with his backhand, took off his bamboo hat, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat by the spring pool: "Younger Brother Liu, please sit."

The sneaky look of this person made Liu Xiaolou very suspicious, but he thought that this person wouldn't dare to hurt people in the Su family, right? So he sat opposite.

"I am inner sect steward Tu Er. If I'm not mistaken, Younger Brother Liu should have just turned twenty this year, right? You can call me Second Brother Tu, or directly call me Old Tu, which sounds intimate."

"So it's Second Brother Tu. Forgive me, I entered the sect late and am very unfamiliar with the seniors in the sect. I don't know what Second Brother Tu is looking for me for?"

Tu Er smiled slightly and asked: "Younger Brother entered the Su family door in the first month of this year, and it has only been a few months. It is normal that you haven't heard of my name. Have you heard of Elder Cai?"

Liu Xiaolou had of course heard of him. Before coming, Su Zhi specifically gave him a lesson on the situation of the Danxia Sect. The general situation was still understood.

The Danxia Sect is supported by four great families, but it is not to say that the sect is governed by the four families. Like other sects, the sect is the sect, and the family is the family, which are completely different. For example, the Sect Master Cai Qiugong, although surnamed Cai, is not from the Cai family of Longhu, but a northerner who joined the Danxia Sect by chance, climbed up step by step from the outer sect to the inner sect, from disciple to elder, and is now a high-level person in the Spirit Refinement Realm, with a lifespan of more than two hundred years.

But many elders, inner sect disciples, and stewards in the sect come from the four great families. Most sects today are like this. For example, the four elders now, three of them come from the four great families. It is a pity that after the elder of the Su family passed away thirty years ago, no one in the Su family could reach the elder position.

This Elder Cai that Tu Er mentioned comes from the Cai family of Longhu, a figure who has been at the Golden Core Perfection for many years and counts among the Golden Core Realm in the world.

Liu Xiaolou said: "Elder Cai's name is like thunder to the ears, how could I not have heard of it? It's just that I have no chance to see him, which is a great pity. When entering the Cave Heaven, I did see a Steward Cai."

Tu Er nodded: "That patrolling steward at the Cave Heaven is also a member of the Cai family, a cousin in the Cai family of Elder Cai."

He paused and said: "I heard that the Su family took in a son-in-law, and Elder Cai is very concerned and wants to see you, the new son-in-law of the Su family. The old man is at Linhu Garden, so please move, Younger Brother Liu."

Liu Xiaolou felt very helpless. Being a son-in-law who married into the family is a bit tiring. Being in the vortex, having to deal with all kinds of troublesome things, this spirit stone is not as easy to earn as imagined.

He immediately shirked: "My Lady might come back at any time..."

Tu Er laughed: "Your Lady is cultivating by the lightning-struck banyan. She is a leader among the inner sect disciples of our Danxia Sect, and she has always been diligent in cultivation, so she won't be back for a while."

Liu Xiaolou said again: "My old father-in-law..."

Tu Er was prepared: "Your father-in-law is at Cai Yaojun's place and won't be back for a while."

Liu Xiaolou smiled bitterly: "It seems I have to go."

Tu Er laughed: "Just go with peace of mind, there is no harm, maybe there will be some benefits."

Seven miles north of Danqiu, there is a small lake of more than a hundred acres hidden among several small hills. Linhu Garden is located by the lake, with seven or eight rooms in front and back, and like the Su family's separate courtyard, they are all thatched cottages.

The thatched cottage in the center is very large, equivalent to a hall. Tu Er said that this is where Elder Cai receives guests. Liu Xiaolou originally wanted to go to the hall, but was led by Tu Er to a small room next to it.

It is said to be a small room, but it is not small, at least much larger than the one Liu Xiaolou and Su Wuniang live in. Although it is covered with thatch outside, it is extremely exquisite inside. A row of bookshelves stands against the wall, and on the shelves are some scrolls with yellow skins.

The study of a high-level Golden Core expert should be rare books, right? Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but glance at them a few times. Tu Er, who was beside him, laughed: "They are all Daoist scrolls rare outside. If Younger Brother Liu gets the favor of Elder Cai, you will be able to feast your eyes in the future, and your cultivation will be just around the corner!"

Liu Xiaolou was surprised: "What does Second Brother Tu mean?"

Tu Er laughed: "You sit down first, Elder Cai will be here soon, I'll go get some wine and food, and we'll talk while eating."

How can we eat? Do I have the qualifications to drink with a Golden Core elder of a righteous sect? Liu Xiaolou didn't think he had this qualification no matter how he thought about it.

His cheap father-in-law Su Zhi is also a Golden Core, and a mid-stage Golden Core, but even so, he didn't drink with him face to face alone.

What kind of routine is this? Liu Xiaolou was immediately vigilant. To put it bluntly, he hadn't been treated well since he was a child. After getting used to it, suddenly being treated so enthusiastically by a stranger, he would feel uncomfortable all over, and subconsciously would think seriously, what is the other party plotting?

The wine and food were served soon. The wine was Dan Gui Xiang brewed by the Su family, and spirit beasts, spirit birds, spirit fish, and spirit mushrooms were all on the table. Except for the Dragon-Beard Golden Carp and the crayfish, Liu Xiaolou hadn't seen any of them. Being so rich really made Liu Xiaolou panic.

What exactly is going on?

Elder Cai walked into the study with a full face of smiles. This Danxia Sect elder was over a hundred years old, but there were no wrinkles on his face, and three strands of silver beard set off his immortal style.

Tu Er and Liu Xiaolou hurriedly bowed to welcome him. Elder Cai greeted with a smile: "Sit, sit, this old man is not used to these empty rituals, I just like to deal with young people, so I feel younger, heh heh..."

He ordered: "Today I am entertaining the son-in-law of the Su family, Xiao Er, sit with me... I am relying on my old age, so I will call you Xiaolou, okay? Come, Xiaolou is the guest of honor, sit down quickly."

Saying that, he reached out and pressed Liu Xiaolou on the shoulder, pressing him onto the seat.

Liu Xiaolou was startled.

Tu Er poured the wine and urged Liu Xiaolou with a smile: "Quick, toast the elder... quick..."

Liu Xiaolou bit the bullet and toasted a cup. Elder Cai drank it with a smile, and reached out to hold Liu Xiaolou's wrist: "Xiaolou must also drink to the full. Tonight, we won't return until we are drunk, heh heh..."
