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

81: Chapter 81 Tomorrow, let’s go take a look too.”Follow me inside.”

Yi Lin was stunned for a moment. Coming to her senses, she hurriedly waved her hands. Whether from the cold or something else, her speech was intermittent.

”This... this is too much of a bother... Benefactor...”

”No... no need... Yi Lin... can just stay here...”

”Yi Lin... doesn’t want to trouble... Benefactor anymore... Yi Lin... can never repay...”

”Stop! Stop! Stop!” Before Yi Lin could finish, Su Xuan interrupted her with feigned impatience. ”I was the one who saved you, right?”

”Mm-hmm...” Yi Lin nodded earnestly.

”Then don’t you already owe me plenty?”

”Yi Lin... in the future... will definitely... repay...”

”Stop right there!” Su Xuan waved his hand. Looking at Yi Lin, whose lips were trembling from the cold, he said solemnly, ”Now! Right now! Immediately! Follow me inside! Don’t force this Young Master to get Life Qi!”

Scolded by Su Xuan, Yi Lin didn’t dare refuse again and slowly rose from the stone stool.

The numbness from sitting too long and her sprained ankle caused Yi Lin to almost fall to the ground the moment she stood up.

Su Xuan’s lips twitched. Before Yi Lin could react—

He scooped her up by the waist and walked toward the RV.

As if knowing what Yi Lin wanted to say, Su Xuan lowered his head and glared with his starry eyes.

The words Yi Lin was about to say were forced back down. Her hands were pressed against her chest, and her beautiful eyes were filled with bashfulness and timidity; she didn’t dare speak further.

*Creak~*

As soon as he pushed open the door and entered the room, Yi Lin felt a wave of warmth hit her.

The sudden change caused her delicate body to shiver involuntarily.

Su Xuan closed the door with his foot, then walked over to a long ’sofa’ filled with high-grade white goose down and covered in tiger skin.

He placed Yi Lin on it. He must have brushed against something, for Yi Lin’s ankle suddenly flared with pain.

Yi Lin gritted her teeth and didn’t make a sound.

This tiny movement naturally didn’t escape Su Xuan’s eyes.

Su Xuan grabbed Yi Lin’s ankle and asked, ”Does it hurt a lot?”

Such an intimate action had long since left Yi Lin so flustered she didn’t know which way was north. She stammered out just two words, ”It doesn’t...”

Seeing Yi Lin like this, Su Xuan knew he had asked for nothing. Shaking his head, he directly removed Yi Lin’s embroidered shoes.

Then, before Yi Lin could react, he casually removed her long stockings as well.

”Ah... Benefactor, you... you...” By the time Yi Lin regained her senses, it was too late. Seeing her jade-like feet exposed, she cried out in shame and indignation.

”Keep it down! They’re all sleeping!” Su Xuan barked in a low voice.

Yi Lin’s words were cut off by Su Xuan’s reprimand. She bit her lip, her watery eyes looking at Su Xuan, her bashfulness almost overflowing. She asked timidly, ”Ben... Benefactor, what are you doing...”

Yi Lin wanted to pull her jade lotuses back, but she accidentally touched the sore spot, and her expression changed from the pain.

”Don’t move!” Su Xuan gripped Yi Lin’s slightly cold ankle, ignoring her words as his gaze fell on the red and swollen area.

Then, strands of warm Internal Energy surged from his palm, slowly entering Yi Lin’s ankle.

As the Internal Energy entered her body and slowly dissipated the blood stasis, it also drew a soft moan from Yi Lin. ”Nn~”

Yi Lin’s face flushed with deep shame; she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

So, she simply lay there, picking up a nearby throw pillow to cover her face.

Su Xuan didn’t mind Yi Lin’s reaction and continued to channel Internal Energy.

As time passed, the blood stasis had mostly cleared, and the swelling gradually subsided.

Su Xuan stood up, stretched, and said to the pretending-to-be-asleep Yi Lin, ”Don’t go running around. You’ll rest here tonight. I’m going upstairs to sleep.”

Having said that, he didn’t wait for Yi Lin’s reply and turned to head upstairs.

Listening to the receding footsteps, Yi Lin slowly revealed her two bashful, large eyes.

Looking at Su Xuan’s back, while Yi Lin felt grateful, a strange, peculiar sensation arose in her heart.

Su Xuan didn’t think much of it.

In Su Xuan’s view, Invincible East was his Precious Master’s friend, and in a while, he would have to ask her for some medicinal herbs.

It was only right for him to look after her missing sister.

Returning to his room, Su Xuan hugged his wife and fell into a deep sleep.

Because of Su Xuan, everyone had developed the habit of sleeping in late.

The next day, it wasn’t until noon that everyone finished packing and continued their journey.

This place was less than ten miles from Blackwood Cliff, and Xiaohe Town happened to be on the way there.

After traveling for a while, the group drove to the outskirts of Xiaohe Town.

Parking the carriage in a spot to be guarded by Little Eagle, the group walked into Xiaohe Town.

”Benefactor, Master is still waiting for Yi Lin. Yi Lin will take her leave now.”

Yi Lin thanked Su Xuan and the others, then walked off in one direction, not forgetting to steal a glance at Su Xuan before she left.

Su Xuan nodded, not paying much mind. He turned around. ”Then let’s find an inn to eat something! I’ve grown tired of eating roasted meat these past two days.”

”Okay~”

Looking at Li Mochou, who was still playing with a ghost-face mask, Su Xuan shook his head with a smile. He grabbed Li Mochou’s wrist and walked toward the inn. ”Let’s go~ You’re already an adult, yet you’re still playing with this~”

”Hehe~” Li Mochou stuffed the mask to Gongsun Lüe and leaned close to Su Xuan, arching her beautiful eyebrows. ”Xiao Xuan~ The way that little nun looked at you just now was very suspicious~ Are you...”

*Thump~*

”Ouch~” Before Li Mochou could finish, she clutched her forehead and complained, ”Why did you hit me~”

”If you dare talk nonsense again, I’ll have Long’er come over tonight...”

”You... Hmph~ Fine, I won’t say it~”

Just as they stepped through the door of the inn.

The gazes of everyone inside the inn couldn’t help but fall upon Su Xuan’s group.

Their eyes were full of amazement; one man and five women, the six of them displayed the word ’stunning’ to the fullest.

It was as if Immortals from the heavens had accidentally fallen into the mortal realm, yet remained untainted by dust.

However, no one was foolish enough to come up and ’strike up a conversation’; everyone just took a few glances and looked away.

One could tell at a glance that these were all old hands who had spent years roaming the Jianghu.

Su Xuan and the others found a somewhat quiet corner and sat down.

”Waiter!”

”Coming!” Hearing Su Xuan’s voice, the Waiter hurriedly set down his tray and ran over, saying flatteringly, ”Guest, what would you like?”

”Bring out all of your shop’s signature dishes.”

”Understood, please wait a moment, Guest. I’ll go arrange it right away.”

After the Waiter left, Gongsun Lüe stood up, took the purple gold jade gourd Su Xuan had handed her, and poured a cup of wine for everyone.

On the other side, after a brief silence, the inn became lively again.

”Hey, have you heard? The Five Great Sword Sects are attacking the Sun Moon Holy Cult!”

”Tch, you’re late to the party. That’s old news. Weren’t the Five Great Sword Sects driven back long ago?”

”Who said they were driven back? This is the latest news. The Sect Heads of the Five Great Sword Sects are making a comeback, preparing for a final showdown with Invincible East tomorrow at noon at Phoenix Fall Slope, ten miles west of Blackwood Cliff!”

”A final showdown?” That person ate a peanut and shook his head. ”I think the Five Great Sword Sects will still lose. You know how strong Invincible East is. Since she became famous, has she ever lost?”

”Hey~ Keep your mouth shut! Is that something you can say out loud? Aren’t you afraid of being targeted by the Five Great Sword Sects?”

”So what if I’m targeted? My wife is dead anyway, and I’m all alone now. Let them come if they have the guts! Can’t a man speak the truth these days? Righteous Path, Evil Path... in my eyes, they’re all damn Demonic Path, just wearing a different skin... Hey, hey, hey... don’t cover my mouth...”

Hearing the words drifting over, Su Xuan’s eyes flickered. He picked up a piece of diced chicken and ate it. His face turned a bit sour, and he forced himself to swallow it despite the disgust, curling his lip. ”This tastes terrible, far worse than what mother makes...”

Mu Tingxue rolled her eyes. ”Didn’t you say you were tired of roasted meat?”

Su Xuan smiled and didn’t argue. He grasped the jade-like hand of Lin Chaoying, who was sitting beside him, and said softly, ”Tomorrow, we shall go and see as well...”

”Mm...”

...
