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

145: Chapter 145 Who’s talking badly about me?Time flew by, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

With Little Eagle soaring with all its might, the group finally returned to Blackwood Cliff the day before Su Xuan’s birthday.

Strolling through the square in front of the main hall, Su Xuan watched the busy maidservants nearby with a heart full of doubt.

He was familiar with almost all of these maidservants; weren’t they the ones who served Dongfang Bai?

But what exactly were they busy with... hanging red lanterns? Pasting the character for ”Double Happiness”?

Who was getting married? Him?

But tomorrow was clearly his birthday! He hadn’t heard anything about holding a wedding either.

Wait...

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and a hint of surprise appeared between Su Xuan’s brows...

Could it be...

”Hey! You over there! Come here for a moment!” To confirm his thoughts, Su Xuan immediately called out to a maidservant who looked the most familiar.

Hearing Su Xuan’s call, the maidservants all paused their movements and turned their gaze toward him.

Seeing Su Xuan, the maidservants’ eyes all lit up, and the one who had been called cried out in surprise and joy, ”Young Master Su?!”

”Yes, it’s me.” Su Xuan nodded and waved his hand. ”Come here!”

It would have been fine if they hadn’t seen Su Xuan, but once they did, the maidservants were like startled birds; their movements came to a screeching halt, and without the slightest hesitation, they scattered in all directions.

In an instant, on the vast square, only Su Xuan and his companions, who had just arrived, were left standing all alone.

Su Xuan’s hand froze in mid-air as he stood there dazed, as if petrified, unable to react.

What on earth is going on? Why are they running?

Not only was Su Xuan completely confused, but the women beside him were also puzzled.

Huang Rong blinked her bright, lively eyes, turned her head to look at Su Xuan, and asked curiously, ”A Xuan... what’s wrong with them?”

Before Huang Rong’s words could even settle, the gazes of the other women also landed on Su Xuan in unison.

”I don’t know...” Su Xuan shook his head, stopping halfway through his sentence. ”Let’s go take a look up ahead...”

Without waiting for Huang Rong to answer, Su Xuan took her hand and walked forward.

Although Huang Rong was doubtful, she didn’t ask much and followed closely behind him.

Seeing this, Guo Fu and the other two women also hurried to follow.

Sure enough, along the way, any maidservant who saw Su Xuan fled like a mouse seeing a cat, some not even giving him a chance to speak.

Before long, Su Xuan and the others reached the entrance of the main hall.

Before they even entered, Yi Lin’s voice could be heard:

”A bit higher! Yes, right there!”

”Move this thing over there...”

”And this one, move it over there...”

”Hang that one a bit higher...”

”Hey, be careful, that’s a bit heavy. You two move it together...”

Busy with constant arrangements, Yi Lin was parched. She walked to the side, quickly poured a cup of tea, and gulped it down in one go.

Yi Yu and Yi Qing also walked over. Watching the busy crowd of maidservants, Yi Qing wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and couldn’t help but complain, ”The Sect Head is really something, being so petty just because they don’t like other men entering the palace. Otherwise, this work would have been finished long ago.”

Yi Yu’s brows furrowed as she glared coldly at Yi Qing and said sternly, ”Yi Qing! How can you speak of the Sect Head like that?!”

Hearing Yi Yu’s rebuke, Yi Qing smiled awkwardly. ”I was just speaking off the cuff, hehe...”

Seeing that Yi Yu didn’t intend to let her off, Yi Qing quickly hid behind Yi Lin, burying her head like an ostrich.

Yi Yu rolled her eyes helplessly, swallowing the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Yi Lin lowered her head, her beautiful eyes shimmering slightly as if she were thinking about something.

Just then, Su Xuan’s voice suddenly came from the entrance of the main hall. ”Let me see, who is speaking ill of me behind my back?”
