He had drunk plenty of dan gui wine on Mount Shenwu and knew its true flavor—there was no poison in this wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finished, Tu Er praised: “Good! Very spirited!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Cai stroked his beard and smiled faintly: “Truly a worthy son-in-law of the Su family—not only quick-witted, but also strikingly handsome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Liu Xiaolou broke out in gooseflesh, his mind racing. Could this old bastard be…? This is disastrous—I’ve walked straight into a tiger’s den. How do I get out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he struggled for a solution, Tu Er refilled his cup: “Good things come in pairs. Brother, toast Elder Cai again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other options, the stubbornness of a rogue cultivator from Wulong Mountain surged in him—he decided to speak plainly: “Elder Cai, Brother Tu, you didn’t summon me here tonight just to drink wine. If you have a request, say it outright. Otherwise, this wine tastes bitter and the food flavorless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Cai nodded slightly, glancing at Tu Er, who smiled: “Xiao Lou, why hide it? Everyone here is family. Just be yourself—no need to wear your outside persona. Relax.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou stared straight at him: “Brother, I don’t understand. What do you mean by ‘family’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Er leaned back, studying Liu Xiaolou with a sly grin: “Brother, let me be blunt. Do you know Dong Wei of Qishan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou frowned: “I know him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Er said: “I met Dong Wei recently. He told me everything about you. Heh—he doesn’t need to say more, does he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou cried out: “Brother Tu, don’t stop—tell me exactly what he said!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Er smirked: “He told me you have a fondness for men. How’s that? Is it false?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou froze, then snapped back: “What kind of shit is Dong Wei? I saved his life once, and now he’s spreading rumors? I’ll kill him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Er frowned: “So it’s not true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou denied flatly: “It’s bullshit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Er said: “It’s not shameful. Why deny it? You’ve been married to Su’s Fifth Lady for months—why is she still a virgin? Don’t deny it—anyone with eyes can see!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou protested: “How can anyone see that at a glance? At best, you guess six or seven percent right—there’s still three or four percent wrong, and it varies by person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Er pressed: “Then why hasn’t she become pregnant?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou replied: “She’s an inner disciple of your Danxia Sect—don’t you know her condition? She’s a madwoman obsessed with cultivation. To ask her for a child? Better kill her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Er glared at Liu Xiaolou; Liu Xiaolou glared back. They stared for a long while, until Tu Er’s eyes slowly filled with frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To those in the know, whether someone has a fondness for men sometimes requires only a single glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tu Er could tell, so could Elder Cai. He shot Tu Er a furious glare, making Tu Er instinctively flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glaring at Tu Er, Elder Cai was about to sweep out in anger—then he looked at Liu Xiaolou and felt a surge of bitter resentment. He slammed his fist on the table: “Don’t make me force you. Since you came here today, you will go through this—no matter what!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please visit the latest address\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou shook his head: “Elder Cai, though I’m only a son-in-law who moved into the Su household, I’m still part of the Danxia Sect. If you force me, I’d rather die. Before I die, I’ll spill blood three feet high and stain your study red! After I’m dead, can you bear the sin of harming a fellow sect member?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Cai glared at Liu Xiaolou, several times raising his hand to strike—but finally held back, sighing: “Enough, enough. You can’t force a melon to be sweet. Leave. Tu Er, show him out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou blinked, stunned—was he really letting him go? He didn’t dare linger, bowing: “Elder Cai, thank you for not forcing me—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Cai cut him off with a wave: “Go, go. Today, pretend you never came.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou nodded: “Elder, rest assured—I’ll keep my mouth shut.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the study, he hurried away from Linhu Garden. Relief washed over him, but fear lingered—what if Elder Cai changed his mind? If the old man still wanted him, Liu Xiaolou would never sleep soundly again. As a nobody, once Elder Cai marked him, he could vanish him quietly, bury him, and no one would ever find out. Even if they did, who’d dare intervene?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he slapped his own face. Being good-looking is a curse—what a torment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Er, who had followed to see him off, frowned and sighed heavily: “Brother, remember what Elder Cai said—don’t utter a word. Otherwise… words bring disaster.” This was why Elder Cai had sent him—another warning to Liu Xiaolou to stay silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou was in a foul mood and ignored him—but he had to give this promise: “Relax. How could I ever blab about something like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Er said: “Good, good… Anyway, I was wrong. My apologies.” He muttered, still unwilling to accept it: “How could I be wrong? Are you really not one of us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou snapped: “There’s one thing I didn’t tell you earlier—my sect’s teachings are Yin-Yang Arts. Yin-Yang Arts—not Yang-Yang Arts. Do you think I’m like you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Er finally gave up, furious: “Damn Dong Wei—he deserves to die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou fully agreed. He hated Dong Wei with every fiber of his being and vowed to get revenge. He knew Dong Wei’s cultivation level—barely fifth or sixth tier. In a direct fight, Liu Xiaolou might not win—maybe even lose—but if he struck from the shadows, Dong Wei would never walk away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did you meet Dong Wei? Where?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His family came two days ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They came too?” Liu Xiaolou stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Dong family of Qipan Mountain is allied with Mao Gong Altar, so they’re part of our Danxia Sect lineage. Though they rarely get to enter the Cave Heaven, they must attend the sect’s millennium ceremony.” Tu Er explained. “I only came to you after hearing his story. After the ceremony, I’ll have a proper talk with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Liu Xiaolou suddenly smiled: “Brother, you picked the wrong person—literally, you searched with a lantern and still got it wrong. This is what they call: ‘You passed right by without recognizing each other.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know why Dong Wei smeared me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s known me for years and has always had designs on me. But I’ve never given him the slightest encouragement. When he heard I was going to the Shenwu Mountain bride-selection, he followed me, trying to sabotage me. Many people saw it—ask around, you’ll find out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Er blinked, then clenched his teeth: “So that’s it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou said: “So he’s the real one with the fondness for men!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please visit the latest address\u003C\u002Fp>",1203,"2026-06-19T23:11:25.549Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","99f680cf0696c9bdba768bd2e89c132bf093386db2eed445818b70b8b792dc6b","notes-on-cultivation-at-wulong-mountain-chapter-122","notes-on-cultivation-at-wulong-mountain-chapter-120",638,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnotes-on-cultivation-at-wulong-mountain-cover.jpg"]
