Chapter 136

It's easy to find out. Just ask in the manor, and you'll know. Not only did they find out that she was the only female disciple of the Zhemei Sect of Mount Yue, the seventh junior sister, but they also found out her maiden name—Xiaomei.

"Xiaomei, Xiaomei is good... What is her surname?"

"Said it's Guan."

"So her name is Guan Xiaomei? Good name, the person is like the name! Brother, what should we do next?"

"Think of a way yourself, I'm afraid I can't help with this favor."

"Why can't you help? Mount Yue is a vassal of your Su family, you are the Su family's son-in-law, you have to help me!"

"I am this son-in-law... Here, I'll go beg Jiuniang and see if she can come forward."

"That's best, hurry up! Do you want me to go with you to beg her?"

"You can."

The two went together to ascend the Yunhai Pavilion. They went up to the Yunhai Pavilion and saw the sea of clouds, but Jiuniang was not there, and even her maid Miss Xiao Qin was not there either. The gate of Yunhai Pavilion was tightly closed, and no one answered.

"No one? Go in and see?" Tan Bazhang said he would go in, climbed over the wall, and Liu Xiaolou couldn't pull him back, so he could only watch him go in. After a while, he watched Tan Bazhang climb out, looking disappointed: "Sure enough, not there."

Liu Xiaolou reminded him: "Brother Tan, this is Mount Shenwu, not Wulong Mountain. If someone locks the gate, it means they are not there, no need to climb over the wall. Don't do such reckless things in the future. Jiuniang is Foundation Establishment, not comparable to us in Qi Refinement."

Tan Bazhang said: "Isn't she our fellow cultivator? We just helped her do things, and didn't take any benefits from her, so what if we climbed her wall? Where would she go?"

Liu Xiaolou took out two spirit stones: "Aren't these the benefits? I was about to give them to you just now, who knew you would have a lustful attack..."

Tan Bazhang happily took them: "Only two for such a small thing? Jiuniang is really generous."

Liu Xiaolou said: "What does this count for? She originally offered fifty spirit stones for Yin Yin Wugong's life, but was rejected by me."

Tan Bazhang was very moved: "Why did Xiaolou refuse? Although he is Foundation Establishment, if we plan carefully and recruit ten or so brothers, it's not like there's no chance. Look, there's Valley Master Zuo, Brother Wei, you, me, and then invite the Longshan Loose Cultivator to come out of the mountain. He is at the tenth level, plus Senior Feihu and Brother Hua, two at the ninth level, Senior Huang from the Jade Girl Cave and Old Hu Du from the Gourd Mouth, two at the eighth level, and the Ma brothers, two at the seventh level. That's about it. Four or five spirit stones each, presumably they will all come. If it's still not stable, invite the seven seniors from Mount Guzhang, but the spirit stones everyone gets will be less. Let Jiuniang add a few more spirit stones, and everyone can get three... Three spirit stones, that's not a small amount!"

Combining the strength of eighteen Wulong Mountain fellow cultivators to kill a Foundation Establishment, even if the sneak attack doesn't succeed, a fair and square strong kill has a good chance of winning. In the past, Liu Xiaolou was low-ranking and couldn't issue a hero's invitation, but since the big banquet for the heroes at Ganzhu Ridge that night, he barely possessed a certain prestige and reputation, so if he issued a hero's invitation again, some people would be willing to accept it.

Unfortunately, killing Yin Yin Wugong is not a way to solve the problem, but will instead intensify the conflict. What the Su family wants is neither to marry off the daughter nor to be cut off by the Yin family, which cannot be achieved by killing.

"Alright, stop thinking about those irrelevant things. It seems Jiuniang went to Yuezhou, just ask and you'll know."

As Liu Xiaolou expected, Su Jiuniang indeed followed Su Zhi to Yuezhou to negotiate with the Ouyang clan, and the Mistress Su Wuniang was even more straightforward. After taking the gold-threaded Linglong bellyband, she went directly back to the Danxia Cave Heaven for seclusion. She even took Xiaohuan and Susu, the two maids, saying it was the Su family's practice to pay attention to the cultivation of everyone in the family, including close servants and personal maids.

Now, the ones managing Mount Shenwu are the second uncle Su Xun and the eldest son Su Long, both of whom are quite at odds with Liu Xiaolou. Liu Xiaolou suddenly felt his tail tighten and secretly thought: I have to keep my tail tucked and be a person these days.

He explained to Tan Bazhang, telling him to be patient and wait until Jiuniang returns before talking. As for himself, I'm afraid the effect of going to Mount Mei to plead for mercy would not be very good, so it's better not to go.

Tan Bazhang could only scratch his head and barely endure it. Liu Xiaolou advised him with kind words: "Hibernate for a month, use the two spirit stones, opening one more acupuncture point is one more. In the long run... hehe, Brother Tan, your cultivation is higher than mine, this doesn't need me to say more."

They parted ways, and Liu Xiaolou returned to Yiling Hall. In front of and behind the building, it was empty and cold, with only him alone. Seeing the big white goose paddling leisurely in the pool, Liu Xiaolou still felt a bit guilty subconsciously. He came to the bedroom and searched carefully in front of and behind the bed, but didn't see anything extra, so his heart was finally put down.

Turning his head to look, the big white goose didn't know when it came out of the pool, standing cautiously outside the threshold, tilting its neck to look at Liu Xiaolou, until Liu Xiaolou waved at it to get lost, then it quacked and flew back into the pool.

Liu Xiaolou held five spirit stones in his hand, having long wanted to impact the sixth acupuncture point—as soon as possible, but it was delayed for a long time. Now he could finally calm down.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed. Liu Xiaolou spent three spirit stones, successively opening the sixth acupuncture point—Zhigou, and the seventh acupuncture point—Huizong, feeling refreshed, so he temporarily left seclusion.

Leaving the Qingyu Furong Garden, he strolled towards the General's Temple, but couldn't find Tan Bazhang, so he returned to the mountain. He hadn't been served by Susu these days, and his mouth was bland, so he planned to go to the big kitchen to see if he could get some good wine and food.

He had beaten the cook Wang, so he didn't know if there would be another one coming out to show off?

Before reaching the big kitchen, he saw Hou Hou Guanshi Su who renovated the General's Temple. Seeing Liu Xiaolou, he gave a look, so Liu Xiaolou followed him to a quiet place.

Hou Hou Guanshi Su asked in a low voice: "Has the Young Master been in seclusion for cultivation these days?"

Liu Xiaolou nodded: "Yes, the progress is quite good."

Hou Hou Guanshi Su said: "Then congratulations to the Young Master! But what should be done about the Young Master's close friend, Brother Tan? What is the Young Master's plan?"

"What plan? What happened to him?"

"So the Young Master doesn't know yet. Fellow Daoist Tan was detained by Mount Yue, just seven days ago. I heard that at that time, the Yue Sect sent people into the mountain to ask how to deal with it, met the eldest son, but I don't know what they talked about. In short, the General's Temple is still empty, and Fellow Daoist Tan still hasn't returned. If the Young Master has time..."

Liu Xiaolou was suddenly anxious: "Why was he detained?"

Hou Hou Guanshi Su said: "It is rumored that he had misconduct at Mount Yue."

Liu Xiaolou asked: "It happened seven days ago, why didn't you report it to me earlier?"

Hou Hou Guanshi Su sighed: "Uncle Xun wouldn't let us go to the Furong Garden, saying not to disturb you."

Liu Xiaolou cupped his hands: "Thank you, Old Su!" Saying this, he rushed to Su Xun's courtyard.

Su Xun lived at the junction between the front mountain and the back mountain. The courtyard regulations were quite large, which also matched his status as a Golden Core expert. As the leader of an important branch of the Su family, whenever Su Zhi was away, Mount Shenwu was usually decided by him.

When Liu Xiaolou arrived at the door to request an audience, he was told that Su Xun was cultivating in the back mountain and could not be disturbed. The one who received him was Su Xun's son, Su Fan.
