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

59: Chapter 59 Now, who still objects?Outside the Medicine Pavilion.

Looking at Su Xuan’s back ahead, Gongsun Lüe couldn’t help but lean close to Li Mochou and ask softly, ”Sister Li, how did all those medicinal herbs just vanish with a ’whoosh’? Is that also Master’s martial skill?”

The corner of Li Mochou’s mouth twitched slightly. ”It seems so...”

Gongsun Lüe’s lively eyes flickered, her mind working on some ideas.

Su Xuan naturally heard their words clearly, but his thoughts were not on that matter.

How did he become a Master so muddle-headedly? The key point was that this disciple was only a few years younger than him.

It wasn’t that Su Xuan didn’t want to take her on, but as this was his first time accepting a disciple, it just felt strange.

At that moment, Gongsun Lüe suddenly jogged over to Su Xuan’s side, linked her arm with his, tilted her pretty face up, and smiled sweetly, ”Master, E’er has a gift she wants to give you. Will you come with E’er to get it?”

Su Xuan looked at his little disciple somewhat puzzled.

A gift?

Could it be more medicinal herbs?

Su Xuan nodded. ”Alright.”

Hearing this, Gongsun Lüe’s pretty face lit up with joy, and she led Su Xuan, arm in arm, towards the Sword Pavilion.

Li Mochou smiled, shook her head, and followed.

...

”Senior Brother! Senior Brother! It’s terrible!”

Fan Yiweng had just returned to his quarters and hadn’t even had time to sit down for a sip of tea when someone rushed in through the door.

It was clearly a guard from the Medicine Pavilion.

Fan Yiweng frowned slightly. ”Slow down! What’s with all this frantic rushing?”

Seeing Fan Yiweng, the guard quickly swallowed his breath and explained, ”Senior Brother, the Young Miss took those two to the Medicine Pavilion!”

Listening to the guard, Fan Yiweng waved his hand impatiently. ”So Junior Sister went. What’s the big deal?”

Jueqing Valley was, after all, her family’s property. Although what Gongsun Lüe did might not conform to the valley’s rules,

it wasn’t their place to comment, was it?

But the guard’s next sentence gave Fan Yiweng a fright. ”But... but, after the Young Miss and the others left the Medicine Pavilion, it was empty. Not a single thing remained...”

”What? The Medicine Pavilion is empty?!” Fan Yiweng could hardly believe his ears. ”You’re not joking, are you?”

Although Fan Yiweng wasn’t entirely sure exactly how many medicinal herbs were in the Medicine Pavilion,

he knew that for three people to clear it out completely in such a short time... that was absolutely impossible!

Before Fan Yiweng could figure it out, two more guards rushed in through the door, urgently saying,

”Senior Brother, it’s terrible! The Sword Pavilion is empty!”

”It’s terrible, Senior Brother! The Treasure Pavilion is empty! All the gold, silver, jewels, famous books, and paintings are gone!”

As the words fell, Fan Yiweng stood frozen in place, his whole person in a state of dazed confusion, a sliver of shock and awe rising in his heart.

Coming to his senses, he hurriedly walked towards the door. ”Quick, come with me to see!”

When Fan Yiweng and the others arrived, they happened to see Gongsun Lüe, smiling like a flower, walking arm-in-arm with Su Xuan from the direction of the Treasure Pavilion.

Fan Yiweng blocked the path of the three, his eyes wide open, asking in disbelief, ”Junior Sister, I hear you emptied the Treasure Pavilion?”

Gongsun Lüe’s smiling lips paused. Her delicate brows furrowed as she looked with displeasure at this Fan Yiweng who had interrupted her conversation with her Master. ”I did. What are you going to do about it?”

”This...”

Before Fan Yiweng could speak, Gongsun Lüe continued, ”You don’t need to stand here jabbering. I’ll tell you, I didn’t just empty the Treasure Pavilion, I emptied the Medicine Pavilion and the Sword Pavilion too, so what?!”

”Do I need to report to you when I take things from my own home?”

This torrent of words from Gongsun Lüe landed on him, leaving Fan Yiweng momentarily stunned. Recovering, he hurriedly explained with a smile, ”Junior Sister, don’t be angry. This Senior Brother didn’t mean it that way. It’s just that if Master finds out...”

Fan Yiweng’s meaning was clear: ’I can’t handle you, but naturally someone else can.’ You suddenly took so many things; you must have a reason.

Hearing Fan Yiweng mention that person in front of her again, Gongsun Lüe’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Before she could speak, Su Xuan rubbed her head and said, ”E’er, you’ve traveled a long way. Go rest with your Sister Li first. Leave matters here to your Master.”

As he spoke, Su Xuan even winked at Li Mochou.

Li Mochou understood instantly, stepping forward to take Gongsun Lüe’s delicate hand.

Gongsun Lüe was somewhat puzzled but dared not defy her Master’s intention. She nodded. ”Yes, Master.”

Then she followed Li Mochou towards their quarters, but not before turning to ’ferociously’ warn, ”Big Beard, if you dare show disrespect to my Master, I won’t let you off!”

The corner of Fan Yiweng’s mouth twitched. He said nothing.

Only after the two had left did Fan Yiweng prepare to speak.

Who knew Su Xuan would beat him to it, saying, ”Fan Yiweng, gather all the middle and high-level management of your Jueqing Valley. I want to see them at the Treasure Pavilion in the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn!”

”Kid, what do you think you’re doing?” Fan Yiweng asked, his brows tightly knit as he looked at Su Xuan.

Fan Yiweng had long thought Su Xuan was suspicious.

His Junior Sister’s temperament had changed drastically. She was calling this brat, who looked like he hadn’t even grown all his hair, ’Master,’ and was protecting him so fiercely.

In Fan Yiweng’s view, Su Xuan was undoubtedly the root cause of all this.

Su Xuan sneered coldly. ”That’s none of your concern. All you need to know is this: if they aren’t all here within the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

Having said that, Su Xuan paid no heed to Fan Yiweng’s reaction and turned to walk towards the Treasure Pavilion.

Watching Su Xuan’s departing back, Fan Yiweng clenched his fists tightly, yet there was nothing he could do.

One incense stick’s time later.

Nearly a hundred people had gathered inside the Treasure Pavilion.

Looking at the crowd before him, a flicker of surprise couldn’t help but pass through Su Xuan’s eyes.

If there were this many in middle and high-level management, then Jueqing Valley must have nearly a thousand people?!

Jueqing Valley truly had a vast family business.

But sorry, from now on, it belonged to him!

Seeing Su Xuan standing there saying nothing, Fan Yiweng grew somewhat impatient. ”Kid, why did you gather us all here? What exactly do you want?”

Su Xuan smiled, sitting down grandly and authoritatively on the chair prepared in advance, speaking very casually. ”It’s nothing much. Just here to notify you all of some news.”

Hearing this, everyone’s gaze fell upon this stranger before them.

Su Xuan smiled and said, ”From today onwards, I am your new Valley Lord!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, some people grew dissatisfied, stepping forward to angrily curse, ”Kid, what the hell are you...”

”Think you can be our Valley Lord? You’re not worthy...”

Before these people could finish speaking, a flash of sword light was seen, and their voices abruptly ceased.

The few who had spoken fell to the side.

This sudden turn of events terrified everyone present. No one dared to utter another word.

Fan Yiweng also looked at Su Xuan with apprehension. This kid’s martial arts were formidable!

Su Xuan’s smile faded slightly. He leaned forward slightly, resting his long sword on the ground as if teasingly, and casually said, ”Now, who still opposes?”
