Chapter 11 You guys are playing too intensely.

Of course, before leaving, Xu Zangyu had to completely destroy the damned dress she was wearing, so that it would never be possible to wear it again.

The light gauze skirt shattered into pieces of rags at her feet.

Just then, Xu Zangyu felt a strong gust of wind sweep over him, blowing away the screen he was using to cover himself.

To be precise, it was slapped away.

What knocked the screen away was a door, a door that had been kicked away.

Wearing only underwear and still without his outer garment on, Xu Zangyu looked like a bald rat suddenly exposed to the sunlight.

I was so shocked that I couldn't come to my senses for a long time.

A noisy commotion came in from the doorway.

“I told you the person wasn’t in my hands, but you didn’t believe me. I’ll make you believe it when you see it.”

Xue Wenxiang, who was the first to enter, caught a glimpse of snow-white skin, but before she could see it clearly, she was blocked by someone.

"Xiao Mingxin?"

Xue Wenxiang paused in surprise for a moment, then raised her eyebrows, looking on with anticipation for a show.

Who would have thought that he would run into an acquaintance under these circumstances? Xu Zangyu didn't bother to put on his clothes one by one, and just put on an outer garment to cover up as much as possible.

Her flustered movements made it seem as if she had done something she shouldn't have, which happened to be seen by Chu Shu, who was following behind Xue Wenxiang.

The atmosphere fell silent instantly, the air became still, and even breathing became difficult.

Xue Wenxiang looked around among the crowd, her smile growing even more mocking, before finally landing very clearly on the tattered cloth at Xu Zangyu's feet.

"Wow, are you playing so intensely? No wonder you haven't gotten up yet, even though it's past lunchtime."

"What nonsense are you talking about! I was just drunk." Xu Cangyu, pulling at his clothes, stepped out from behind Xiao Mingxin.

"Hmm...I understand that drunkenness inevitably leads to promiscuity."

Xu Zangyu: "..." You don't know anything.

Xue Wenxiang didn't let Xiao Mingxin off the hook either, saying, "I never imagined that someone as refined as Brother Xiao would treat a beauty so roughly."

Xu Zangyu: "Don't say that. I tore the clothes myself."

Xue Wenxiang was stunned for a moment, "You're being way too thirsty."

Xu Zangyu was so angry that he choked. He hadn't recovered from the shock of being so thoroughly distorted. He opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't think of a single word to defend himself.

Xue Wenxiang thought he was guilty, and she was even happier, adding fuel to the fire for Chu Shu, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"I kidnapped the little fox spirit yesterday, but I was intercepted by the owner of Chuncifang halfway there."

He looked at Xu Zangyu with sympathy, "That guy was bullying you so badly. If it weren't for the wrong timing and place, and my chivalrous heart wouldn't allow me to see such a coercive scene."

"You're about to start working under the open sky."

Xu Zangyu: "………………"

All eyes turned to him, even Xiao Mingxin, who was about to swing his knife at Xue Wenxiang, froze in place and turned his gaze back to him.

Xu Cangyu couldn't take it anymore. He snatched the sword from Xiao Mingxin's hand and angrily said, "I warn you not to make baseless accusations! It's all completely fabricated."

"Besides..." Xu Zangyu hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Under the questioning gazes of the crowd, Xu Zangyu had no choice but to blurt it out, "Besides, the sect leader likes my senior brother."

Xue Wenxiang shut up, looking like she'd just heard some juicy gossip.

After a long while, he exclaimed, "The life of your Tianyi Sect is truly wonderful."

Xu Zangyu subconsciously took a step toward Chu Shu, "Nothing really happened between my senior brother and me. That dress—it's just because I don't like it."

Two voices rang out simultaneously.

Chu Shu: "What are you explaining to me for!"

Xiao Mingxin: "What are you going to explain to him!"

Xu Zangyu: "...???"

Although it's incomprehensible, it seems he has offended both sides.

He looked at Xiao Mingxin and said, "I'm doing this for my senior brother's sake, to clear his name and reputation."

He looked at Chu Shu again, but didn't say anything for a long time.

Chu Shu snorted coldly, "It seems I've disturbed you."

Her sleeve twitched as Xu Cangyu secretly tugged at her hand. "Senior sister, how could you believe such nonsense? Don't you know I don't like men?"

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent, and no one spoke for a long time.

Xu Zangyu was stunned for a long time. Had he said something wrong again?

That shouldn't be happening!

Even Chu Shu's expression turned ugly.

Could Chu Shu really believe he likes men?!

He kept explaining that it wasn't for love, but only for his self-respect and innocence as a man.

"I really don't like it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Shu scolded him, "That's enough, stop talking nonsense."

Chu Shu pulled Xu Cangyu aside and stared intently at Xiao Mingxin, "I want him to speak."

Xiao Mingxin's expression wasn't pleasant either. "What's there to say? People with heart conditions see everything as dirty."

The atmosphere between the two was like a powder keg ready to explode, and Xu Zangyu suddenly realized something.

His role as the villainous male supporting character is simply to ignite the spark of love between the male and female leads.

From misunderstandings to hatred, to reconciliation and reunion, this classic love story is designed to highlight the dramatic and epic journey of the male and female protagonists' love.

Once they're finally reunited, it'll be time to deal with that wicked male supporting character.

Having considered the consequences, Xu Zangyu directly intervened in the passionate eye contact between the two, extinguishing the flame that was about to ignite.

"It's all a misunderstanding. Can't we go back to the sect and talk things out calmly?"

"I swear that my relationship with my senior brother is completely innocent, otherwise... I will never be able to get married in my life."

After he finished speaking, for some reason, everyone's eyes were filled with a somewhat indescribable expression.

He looked to Xiao Mingxin for help, "Senior brother, why don't you make a vow too?"

Unfortunately, Xiao Mingxin remained unmoved, saying, "I have a clear conscience and need not prove anything to others."

“This isn’t Chaolu Peak; nobody here will indulge her spoiled princess temper.”

Xu Zangyu was shocked. "Is this what you, as the male lead, should say to your wife?!"

In that case, no wonder he tried to steal her away.

Chu Shu said sarcastically, "What's hidden under the clothes isn't necessarily a human being. Nowadays, with the nourishment of spiritual energy in cultivation, even beasts can open their mouths and speak."

"Junior brother, what do you think?"

Xu Zangyu: "Ah... well, maybe so. I'm not worldly, so I don't know."

Since they were from the same school, they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, so they eventually sat down peacefully around a table.

Xue Wenxiang, who loves to join in the fun, squeezed in, mainly because she had nothing better to do than watch her rival suffer.

Several people occupied one side of the square table. After failing to interrogate Xu Zangyu, they swaggered around Chuncifang and forced them to offer him the wine that Xu Zangyu claimed he knew nothing about, acting just like a bunch of bandits.

Chu Shu swirled her wine glass, "What kind of wine is this that can not only intoxicate a Golden Core cultivator, but also make him forget his drunkenness?"

Even if someone is drunk, as a Golden Core cultivator, they can use their spiritual power to dispel the effects of alcohol. Even if Xu Zangyu didn't know, how could Xiao Mingxin not know?

Whether it's an excuse remains to be verified.

The girl in charge spoke with great pride, "Of course, it's our Chuncifang's 'Intoxicating Wine,' which would make even a cultivator drunk."

"In a drunken dream, what one cannot get in reality can be fulfilled in the dream. So many people want this wine, but we at Chuncifang have not given it to them."

The group of men, who were not heavy drinkers, became intrigued by her suggestion and insisted on drinking the wine.

Xue Wenxiang: "Why be stingy, Chuncifang? My Anxianglou is not short of money. If you don't offer it to us to try, how will we know if what you say is true or false?"

Chu Shu was merely curious, and seeing her acting coy, she scoffed, "Playing hard to get."

The woman was not annoyed by this and explained, "I know you don't believe me, but the shop owner knew that distinguished guests were coming, so he ordered us to prepare a jar in advance."

She suddenly smiled at Xu Zangyu and said, "Young master, could you lend a hand? It's in the secret room on the second floor."

Xu Cangyu had a neutral impression of Chun Ci Fang, except for the owner's shrewdness and cunning. However, with several pairs of eyes watching, Xu Cangyu knew that Chun Ci Fang would not dare to offend anyone if it wanted to continue operating safely.

Climbing to the attic where the wine was stored on the roof, Xu Cangyu saw that the floor was piled with neatly arranged wine jars, and he couldn't tell which ones were not intoxicating.

Where are the non-drunk people?

"On the right, the third one on the second floor."

The gentle voice suddenly changed tone, and Xu Cangyu turned around sharply, "How come it's you?"

The girl had changed her appearance and transformed into You Fengchun.

Based on her previous experience of being tricked, Xu Zangyu couldn't help but take a few steps back. "What do you want from me by lying to me like this? If you dare to do anything, I'll call for help!"

You Fengchun was amused by him, "Brother, you don't need to be so wary of me. Have I ever hurt you?"

"and you……"

“Being targeted by Anxianglou is the most troublesome thing. I’m here to help my brother,” You Fengchun whispered in his ear. “If we don’t find something on him, he won’t give up.”

You Fengchun took the "Intoxicating Herbs" from the shelf and placed it in his hand. "Intoxicating Herbs can make people reveal their truest desires in the end. Maybe we can uncover some secrets. Brother, you must make the most of the opportunity I'm giving you."

Xu Zangyu agreed almost without thinking.

If we knew their secrets, not only could we get rid of that damned Xue Wenxiang, but we might also be able to control Chu Shu and Xiao Mingxin at the same time.

He is now very curious about how far things have progressed between the two of them, and if there is still time, he must sever the red thread.

Just as Xu Cangyu was about to take the wine downstairs, he suddenly remembered, "I...I was drunk yesterday, did I say something?"

If what he revealed while drunk was his truest desire, then what was with Xiao Mingxin pressing him down and kissing him?!

Could it be that he secretly desires to be dominated by Xiao Mingxin?! Impossible!

He never does the lower-level stuff!

Faced with Xu Zangyu's cautious yet conflicted gaze, You Fengchun didn't tease him. Instead, he stared at him, still somewhat puzzled.

"Brother, he didn't say anything."

His finger pointed to his heart, "Is my heart empty, or is it already fulfilled and without desire?"

Xu Zangyu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't made up any nonsense. If he had said that he had transmigrated from a book, he might have been mistaken for a possessing evil spirit.

Perhaps because too much time had been wasted, urging came from below.

Then there was Xiao Mingxin's voice as she walked over and asked, "Is there a problem?"

He picked up the jar, walked over, and replied, "No, there are too many wine jars. It took me a while to find them."

As expected, everyone was watching him, and seeing that nothing had happened, the atmosphere relaxed considerably.

Xue Wenxiang had little patience and couldn't stand the dawdling, so she squeezed through and took the wine from Xu Cangyu's hand first.

"I've been looking for this treasure for ages, I thought they weren't going to take it out."
