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

63: Chapter 63 Long’er, I’ll take you somewhere.Time ticked away, and about half an hour passed.

Only then did Lin Chaoying’s anger subside, and she unsealed Su Xuan’s acupoints.

“Thank you, Master~” Su Xuan grinned as he stood up, stretching his back and rolling his shoulders.

Looking at her Disciple, who was now half a head taller than her, Lin Chaoying felt a wave of emotion.

Only a few years had passed, yet her little Disciple had grown into a big one...

After loosening up his muscles, Su Xuan moved behind Lin Chaoying and gently massaged her shoulders. “Hehe, Master, don’t be angry anymore~ Xuaner really knows he was wrong~”

Lin Chaoying’s phoenix eyes flickered as she slapped away Su Xuan’s ’pig trotters.’ “I’ll let you off this once, but if there’s a next time...”

Before Lin Chaoying could finish, Su Xuan raised three fingers in a vow. “Don’t worry, Master, Xuaner guarantees there won’t be a next time! Hehe, Master~”

Seeing Su Xuan’s playful antics, Lin Chaoying gave him a beautiful eye-roll. “Let’s go. Follow your Master to see your mother!”

With that, Lin Chaoying turned and headed toward the door.

She hadn’t taken two steps when Su Xuan’s voice came from behind. “Master, you haven’t put on your shoes yet!”

Lin Chaoying’s delicate body stiffened, and a blush flooded her pretty face. She turned around to see her little Disciple holding her embroidered shoes, making her beautiful eyes even more bashful.

She snatched the embroidered shoes and then kicked Su Xuan out the door. “You go first!”

Su Xuan scratched his head, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes as he murmured softly, “It’s just a pair of shoes. Why such a big reaction?”

Lin Chaoying sat on the bed, putting on her shoes with a mix of shame and indignation.

These shoes were the first gift her precious Disciple had ever given her; for over ten years, she had cherished them as if they were new.

After putting them on, Lin Chaoying walked out the door with anger still lingering in her beautiful eyes.

Now it was time to settle the score with that wretched girl, Xue’er.

When Su Xuan had left just a few hours ago, Lin Chaoying had realized something was wrong.

She had wanted to go out and find Su Xuan, but she was stopped by Mu Tingxue.

Mu Tingxue had said that if Lin Chaoying dared to step out of the Ancient Tomb’s gates, she would make Su Xuan propose to Lin Chaoying once he returned.

Lin Chaoying was caught in a true dilemma.

Letting her little Disciple propose to her—how could that possibly be allowed?!

They were Master and Disciple! It was simply preposterous!

It seemed she had been too kind to Xue’er over the years; as a maid, she actually dared to threaten her Young Miss.

Before long, Su Xuan and Lin Chaoying arrived at Mu Tingxue’s room.

Inside the room, four people were busy.

The table was already laid out with many delicious dishes.

Upon closer inspection, they were all Su Xuan’s favorites.

Just then, Gongsun Lüe happened to walk in from the kitchen carrying a plate of meat.

“Master?” Gongsun Lüe’s beautiful eyes lit up. She placed the plate on the table and flew into Su Xuan’s arms. “Master~ You’ve come at just the right time~ The food is all ready~”

Seeing this scene, the words Lin Chaoying had been holding back were swallowed down as she looked at Su Xuan in confusion. “Xuaner, she... is your Disciple?”

After one trip out, her little Disciple had actually taken a Disciple of his own?!

Gongsun Lüe noticed Lin Chaoying at this moment. Her lively eyes darted around, and she suddenly remembered the Grandmaster Li Mochou had mentioned to her.

She hurriedly broke free from Su Xuan’s embrace and knelt before Lin Chaoying with a ’thud.’ “Grand-Disciple Gongsun Lüe pays respects to Grandmaster~”

Lin Chaoying was momentarily stunned. She didn’t move, only looking at Su Xuan with doubt.

Su Xuan nodded and smiled. “This girl is called Gongsun Lüe. I felt she shared a fate with our Ancient Tomb Sect, so I took her in. Master, you...”

Before Su Xuan could finish, Lin Chaoying shook her head and looked strangely at the little girl kneeling on the ground. “Rise.”

“Yes.” Gongsun Lüe stood up obediently, her large eyes constantly looking toward Su Xuan as if for help.

Lin Chaoying didn’t speak, simply sizing up the little girl before her.

She was quite good-looking, barely meeting the visual standards of their Ancient Tomb Sect.

But she didn’t know how her skeletal structure was...

Lin Chaoying glanced at Su Xuan. Since her little Disciple felt there was a shared fate, then she could stay.

With a Disciple to teach, perhaps her little Disciple wouldn’t keep running off...

Thinking of this, a trace of softness appeared in Lin Chaoying’s eyes. She spoke, “Since you are now a Disciple of my Ancient Tomb Sect, you must follow our Sect Rules. In the future, you must take good care of your Master, do you understand?”

Hearing this, Gongsun Lüe’s face lit up with joy, and she quickly replied, “Yes, Grandmaster.”

Su Xuan watched this scene with a smile, a sense of warmth welling up in his heart. It was still better at home.

At that moment, Mu Tingxue, Little Dragon Girl, and Li Mochou also came out of the kitchen, each carrying a dish.

Seeing the room full of people, Mu Tingxue smiled. “Everyone is here, so let’s sit down and eat!”

As if guessing Lin Chaoying’s thoughts, Mu Tingxue even gave her a playful wink.

Lin Chaoying’s face turned red. She glanced at her little Disciple beside her, gave a cold snort, and sat on a stone stool.

Mu Tingxue and Little Dragon Girl placed the food on the table one by one.

Only Li Mochou remained frozen in place, holding the tray in front of her face in an attempt to hide her presence.

Lin Chaoying didn’t even look at Li Mochou, saying coldly, “Why haven’t you put the dish on the table yet?! Even if you aren’t hungry, what if your Junior Martial Uncle is?!”

Hearing this, Li Mochou finally stepped forward tremblingly to place the plate on the table.

She kept her head low, fiddling with her fingers, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at Lin Chaoying.

Gongsun Lüe quietly tugged at Su Xuan’s sleeve.

Su Xuan smiled and shook his head.

His Precious Master’s anger had long since dissipated; even if she punished Mochou, it wouldn’t be too severe.

At this time, it was better to stay silent.

Seeing that her little Disciple still hadn’t sat down beside her to eat, Lin Chaoying gave Li Mochou a cold look. “After dinner, go to the Confinement Room yourself. You are not allowed to step out for a month.”

Hearing this, Li Mochou breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Grandmaster.”

For martial artists like them, solitary confinement was essentially just secluded Cultivation; it hardly counted as punishment.

It was just that not seeing Little Xuan for a month was a bit...

Seeing Su Xuan still standing there, Lin Chaoying suddenly grabbed his sleeve and pulled him onto the stool beside her, scolding, “Did you go out and turn stupid? You don’t even know to eat!”

As she spoke, she picked up a large chicken leg and put it in Su Xuan’s bowl.

Seeing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Mu Tingxue’s mouth. She pulled Gongsun Lüe down to sit. “Alright, everyone stop standing around and eat~”

Only then did Little Dragon Girl and Li Mochou sit down next to Su Xuan in turn.

After dinner, Li Mochou went to the Confinement Room.

Gongsun Lüe was also taken away by Mu Tingxue.

Only Su Xuan, Little Dragon Girl, and Lin Chaoying remained.

Looking at Su Xuan and Little Dragon Girl, Lin Chaoying suddenly remembered that scene on the mountain peak a few months ago, and she felt a bit jealous.

“Xuaner, come to the old place tomorrow. Your Master wants to test your martial arts.”

Leaving behind those words, Lin Chaoying also departed.

Little Dragon Girl hooked Su Xuan’s finger and whispered, “Junior Martial Uncle, what about us?”

Su Xuan’s eyes moved, and a smile appeared on his lips. “Come, Dragon Girl, I’ll take you to a certain place...”
