Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

38: Chapter 38 I said no, and that means no.The first floor of the inn was buzzing with lively conversation.

But Su Xuan, who was eating on the second floor, was left completely bewildered by what he heard.

Su Xuan himself didn’t even know he was that impressive.

They even said his farts were Sword Qi—how could they insult someone like that?

”Pfft~”

Huang Rong, sitting beside him, finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Seeing Su Xuan look over, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

However, her slightly trembling delicate frame and the curve of her eyes still gave her away.

Su Xuan’s face darkened, and he said speechlessly, ”Ronger, is it really that funny?”

Huang Rong lowered her jade-like hand, suppressing her laughter, with tiny tears even hanging from the corners of her eyes. She shook her head properly and said, ”No.”

Seeing Su Xuan still staring at her, Huang Rong picked up a piece of mutton and brought it to him.

”Alright~ A Xuan, don’t be so petty~ Come, have a piece of mutton~”

Su Xuan opened his mouth and ate the mutton.

”Pfft~”

Perhaps thinking of something else, Huang Rong burst out laughing right in front of Su Xuan.

Afraid Su Xuan would be unhappy, Huang Rong tossed her chopsticks aside and hurriedly threw herself into his arms, burying her pretty face deep into his chest.

Suppressing her laughter, her delicate body trembled slightly.

Seeing this, the corner of Su Xuan’s mouth twitched. He wished he could go downstairs right now and give that rumor-monger a sound thrashing.

He had seen people spread rumors, but never like this.

It was simply... completely baseless!

After a while of fussing, Huang Rong finally got up from Su Xuan’s arms.

She picked up another piece of mutton and brought it to Su Xuan, saying coquettishly, ”A Xuan, don’t be angry~ Ronger is professionally trained~ I usually don’t laugh...”

”Unless you can’t help it, right!?” Su Xuan snapped up the mutton and ate it.

”Mm~” Huang Rong nodded, her jade hand gently stroking Su Xuan’s cheek as she said with a hint of seduction, ”A Xuan wouldn’t be angry with Ronger over such a small thing, right?”

Su Xuan gently pulled Huang Rong close and smiled, ”Don’t worry, your husband won’t be angry with Ronger, but...”

A hint of mischief flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes, ”But your husband has felt that his Cultivation of the Dog Beating Staff Technique hasn’t been going smoothly lately. I’ll need Ronger’s guidance tonight...”

How could Huang Rong not know what Su Xuan was talking about? Her pretty face instantly turned as red as an apple.

Just then, a knock came from the door.

”Knock, knock, knock.” ”Knock, knock, knock.”

Huang Rong and Su Xuan exchanged a glance. She stood up, tidied her clothes, and said, ”Enter.”

The door opened, and a beggar dressed in tattered clothes walked in.

He closed the door behind him and, upon seeing Huang Rong, bowed slightly. ”Sect Leader, the items are ready and placed in the Private Room on the third floor. Elder Lu is also waiting for you there.”

”I understand. You may leave.”

”Yes.”

After the Beggars Sect Disciple left, Su Xuan asked curiously, ”Ronger, what items?”

A flash of craftiness appeared in Huang Rong’s eyes as she feigned grievance, ”Doesn’t Ronger still owe A Xuan twenty Medicinal Herbs?~”

”Back on the way to Xiangyang, Ronger sent a message to the Beggars Sect Disciples to collect the herbs.”

”To get these twenty herbs, Ronger spent all of the Beggars Sect’s savings~”

As she spoke, she intentionally put on a pitiful, aggrieved look.

Su Xuan smiled, ”There’s no need for such talk between us.”

”Then consider it a gift from Ronger to A Xuan, how about that?” Huang Rong stepped forward gracefully and said tenderly, ”For the sake of this gift, won’t A Xuan spare me tonight?~”

Good grief, so that’s what she was getting at!

Truly a drama queen!

Su Xuan shook his head with a smile, ”That depends on my mood. If I’m in a good mood, we’ll just have a brief ’sparring’ session. If I’m in a bad mood, little Ronger might have to suffer a bit!”

Without waiting for Huang Rong to respond, he turned and headed for the door.

Watching Su Xuan’s departing figure, Huang Rong puffed out her cheeks and quickly followed.

Third-floor Private Room.

As soon as the two entered the room, they saw Lu Youjiao, who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Huang Rong, Lu Youjiao quickly bowed, ”Greetings, Sect Leader.”

Huang Rong waved her hand, ”There’s no need for such formality, Elder Lu. Where are the herbs?”

”Right inside.” Lu Youjiao pointed toward the screen.

”Mm.” Huang Rong nodded. ”Does Elder Lu have anything else to report?”

”Reporting to the Sect Leader, your subordinate indeed has two matters to report.”

Huang Rong raised an eyebrow slightly. ”Let’s hear them.”

”Sect Leader, just over half a month ago, Great Hero Guo suddenly went missing, and to this day...”

Before Lu Youjiao could finish, Huang Rong interrupted him, ”I already know about this. Tell me the second matter.”

”This...” Lu Youjiao hesitated, then sighed and said, ”Very well.”

”Sect Leader, that Lü Wende said that once you return, you should go see him alone...”

Toward the end, Lu Youjiao’s voice grew smaller. ”Sect Leader, that Lü Wende has always harbored designs on you. He told me to pass this message to you after Great Hero Guo went missing. I suspect that Great Hero Guo’s disappearance is related to Lü Wende...”

Hearing this, Huang Rong quickly interrupted Lu Youjiao, ”Enough, I understand. You may go now!”

”Yes.” Lu Youjiao glanced at Su Xuan beside Huang Rong and walked out.

As soon as Lu Youjiao left, Su Xuan asked, ”Ronger, is Lü Wende the Commander of Xiangyang City?”

”Yes, but A Xuan doesn’t need to pay him any mind. He’s nothing more than a coward who fears death,” Huang Rong explained, afraid Su Xuan might overthink it.

At this point, Huang Rong suddenly remembered something. ”A Xuan, do you remember when I said I could help you get many Medicinal Herbs?”

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow. ”You mean the herbs are in Lü Wende’s hands?”

Huang Rong nodded. ”Besides being lecherous, Lü Wende is exceptionally greedy. Usually, the herbs others gift him are quite numerous.”

”As far as I know, Lü Wende has a separate secret treasure room to store these treasures.”

”But Ronger has never been able to find the location of this Secret Room.”

As she spoke, Huang Rong’s beautiful eyes lit up. ”I’ve got it! Lü Wende is both stupid and lecherous. As long as I go personally and use a small trick, I’ll definitely be able to find out the location of the Secret Room...”

Before Huang Rong could finish, Su Xuan interrupted with a deep frown, ”No!”

Seeing Su Xuan’s firm expression, a sense of warmth rose in Huang Rong’s heart. ”A Xuan, don’t worry, Ronger can ensure her own safety...”

”When I say no, I mean no! Don’t mention this again, Ronger!”

For the sake of some herbs, he was supposed to let his woman seduce another man?

Even if there were no risk at all, Su Xuan could never do such a thing.

Huang Rong bit her lip and leaned gently into Su Xuan’s arms. ”Alright, Ronger will listen to A Xuan~”

At the same time, a cold, ruthless glint flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes.

Besides, who said that to find out the location of the Secret Room, one had to use seduction?

To dare covet his woman—wasn’t that like looking for a stone in a latrine pit? He’s looking for death...
