Chapter 137

Su Fan is the third in the younger generation of the Su family, and like the men of the Su family, he is not promising. He is in his thirties, and so far he is only at the seventh level of Qi Refinement.

Among loose cultivators, this age paired with this cultivation should be a quite good achievement, but on Mount Shenwu, it announced that he had no fate with the position of family head.

He sat in the main hall, glancing sideways at Liu Xiaolou, not even giving up his seat, and said bluntly: "You don't stay in the Furong Garden, what are you doing here at my place?"

Liu Xiaolou said: "Lin Lin Sanlang, I have a good friend who was detained by people from Mount Yue. I don't know what kind of trouble he caused, so I ask Lin Lin Sanlang to help, whether to say hello to Mount Yue and ask them to release the person."

Su Fan giggled: "Release the person? Do you know what trouble he caused?"

Liu Xiaolou guessed most of it, it must be for that junior sister of Mount Yue. So he said: "A fair lady, a gentleman is fond of her. A young man has a longing heart, liking someone is not wrong."

Su Fan was surprised: "Eh? You actually know two lines of poetry? Did you learn it secretly after coming to my Su family and feeling ashamed of yourself? Liking is not wrong, but what qualifications does he have to seek marriage? Don't you go and take a piss to see yourself? A thief cultivator from Wulong Mountain, is he qualified to seek marriage with a woman from a noble family?"

He glanced at Liu Xiaolou and mocked: "Is it that everyone who comes out of Wulong Mountain thinks they have as good a life as you, Liu Xiaolou? All think they can climb up with my family and soar into the sky? Don't say he doesn't have as good a life as you. Even if he did, it's just the life of a live-in son-in-law. When he sees the Su family, he has to kneel, lie down, and lick!"

Liu Xiaolou endured his anger and asked: "They detained my brother, what do they want?"

Su Fan couldn't help laughing: "What do they want? You bunch of thieves who are poor to the point of clinking, what can you take out? People just want to teach him a lesson, lock him up for three to five years. Once he understands, they will naturally release him. This is still because you are my Su family's son-in-law. Otherwise, they would have beaten him to death and thrown him into the ditch. For this, you should feel honored!"

Liu Xiaolou said: "Su San, I, Liu, ask myself that I haven't offended you. Why have you been speaking ill of me? I thought that even if you have any prejudice against me, at most we don't associate with each other, we don't interfere with each other..."

Su Fan couldn't help interrupting: "Don't interfere with each other? What are you, and you dare to call yourself well water? At most, it's the muddy water and smelly water in the ditch! Do you really take yourself as a son-in-law? Eating my family's, using my family's, not restraining yourself, but actually arrogant and domineering to the point of hitting people? Cook Wang is an old person used by my Su family, and you dare to say hit if you want to hit! No matter how broken that Taoist temple at the mountain pass is, it's not your turn to occupy it! What is Eighth Brother's status? And what is yours? You dare to provoke? Don't you know what your cultivation is? If you don't want family disputes, what if I kill you with one sword? Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Still a life-and-death fight? It's really a joke!"

Liu Xiaolou said: "Su San, you insulted me today, are you prepared?"

Su Fan said disdainfully: "Father told me, if I really want to fight you, let me wait another two years. I don't know why it has to be two years, but father's orders cannot be disobeyed. If you want to die, you can wait until two years later. By then, I will let you die happily! Don't count on Fifth Sister speaking for you. How did you get this husband and wife relationship? Humph, don't you have any idea in your heart?"

Liu Xiaolou thought for a while and said: "Then two years later."

Su Fan sneered: "It's a deal!"

After leaving, Liu Xiaolou went to find Hou Hou Guanshi Su again and asked: "What is the relationship between the second branch and Mount Yue? And what is the relationship between Su San and that female disciple of Mount Yue named Guan Xiaomei?"

Hou Hou Guanshi Su smiled: "The Young Master really has a sharp eye. This matter was not easy to spread, but since the Young Master saw it... Hmm, Third Young Master and Guan Xiaomei are childhood sweethearts..."

So that's it, no wonder Su San spoke ill of him. Liu Xiaolou asked again: "Since they are childhood sweethearts, why don't they get married?"

Hou Hou Guanshi Su said: "Because Meiling firmly disagrees."

Liu Xiaolou was speechless: "What kind of messy things are these? Just because the three sects are at odds, they pull each other's legs? Isn't this a serious internal friction? My old father-in-law doesn't care?"

Hou Hou Guanshi Su whispered: "I heard that this is the handwriting of the former family head."

"How so?"

"Sixty years ago, Meiling was not called Meiling, but Liang Ling. The momentum was very strong, and several outstanding disciples were produced, and they became less and less respectful to our Su family. Our Su family spent ten years supporting one of them to leave, found the Zhemei Sect on Mount Yue, and forced the renaming of Liang Ling to Meiling."

"This... is too obvious..."

"Indeed a bit, hehe. Mount Yue naturally knows, so they have the willingness to ease relations with Meiling. Our Su family is certainly not happy, so they split another branch from Meiling to establish a sect on Mount Hu, named the Zhaiyue Sect. From then on, the three families check and balance each other, and there is no longer the grand occasion of Meiling being the only one and having three Golden Cores in the same sect."

The Meiling Fuhu Gate, Mount Yue Zhemei Sect, and Mount Hu Zhaiyue Sect have checked and balanced each other for decades, indeed posing no threat to the Su family. Otherwise, if Meiling were allowed to develop like this, with the Su family only having two Golden Cores today, I'm afraid the master and vassal would have changed places.

"Hou Hou Guanshi Su is familiar with the stories of the predecessors, and the things from sixty years ago are also spoken clearly."

"The person who specifically handled it back then was my grandfather."

"Disrespect, disrespect."

It must be said that the actions of the old family head of the Su family can indeed be called once and for all. But everything has its pros and cons. The Su family is stable, but once there is a gap in the succession, they can't count on the vassal families to fill it. The three sects are so internally exhausted that after the death of the previous sect master, it is difficult to produce another Golden Core, unable to provide support to the Su family, so that the Su family has appeared much more declining among the four major families of the Danxia Sect in the past twenty years.

Understanding the cause and effect, Liu Xiaolou pondered: "Times have changed, we can't let the three sects continue to exhaust themselves internally, otherwise if something happens in the future, the internal foundation will be unstable, and it will be easy for others to divide and conquer."

Hou Hou Guanshi Su sighed: "Who says it isn't? But the Su family is also difficult. Our family is not as good as before. If we let the three sects abandon their previous suspicions, we are also worried that it will be difficult to restrict them. This is called sitting on pins and needles."

These things have nothing to do with Liu Xiaolou for the time being. What he wants to ask Hou Hou Guanshi Su more is how to get Tan Bazhang out, but Hou Hou Guanshi Su has no good way.

Therefore, Liu Xiaolou had to make a trip to Mount Yue, intending to bow his head. No matter how humble he is, he must save the person first.

Mount Yue is only seventy miles away from Mount Shenwu, and the mountain gate regulations are not large, just dozens of rooms on the cliff. The Zhemei Sect is a small sect. Since the founding sect master failed in seclusion and ascended thirty years ago, there have only been ten core disciples, respectively the second-generation sect master and two elders, and seven third-generation disciples. Among them, only the sect master Guan Xingzhou and elder Wu Chiqing are Foundation Establishment, and the other elder—the sect master's wife—is at the tenth level of Qi Refinement. Among the seven third-generation disciples, the weakest is the fourth disciple Wu Jiangyue, at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, and the junior sister Guan Xiaomei is the sect master's daughter, at the sixth level of Qi Refinement.

Such a small sect is still not something Liu Xiaolou can provoke. When he visited, his posture was very low. The longer he stayed in the Su family, the more he knew his status in the hearts of the Su family, so he had to lower his posture to the lowest.
