Chapter 14 Loading the Goods! They thought just waving a fan was all it took...
Xue Wenxiang thought that he was probably overthinking it. The little fox spirit liked him and even helped him pursue someone else. She was clearly head over heels in love with him.
This was the first time he had ever been so openly and passionately liked, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Xu Zangyu was not imprisoned in the end. When he came out, everyone in Anxiang Tower stared in disbelief.
All eyes were on him the whole way.
The first person to sexually assault the young master and emerge completely unharmed, without even a scratch, is someone who has never been there since the young master was a child and only wore underwear!
That's quite a tactic, truly remarkable!
Xu Zangyu had long been prepared to be killed by everyone's gazes, but what was with their adoring looks?
Even after following Xue Wenxiang into the room, the gazes from outside remained intense and burning.
"Tell me, how do you plan to help me?"
Xue Wenxiang sat with her legs apart, leaning against the couch behind her, munching on a spiritual fruit on the square table beside her.
Then, he noticed that Xu Cangyu was staring at his legs without moving, so he picked up the spirit fruit and threw it at him.
"What are you looking at!"
Xu Zangyu caught it perfectly and laughed heartily, "Thank you for the reward, young master."
Xue Wenxiang was speechless; she had never seen such a shameless person.
He ate the food he had already taken a bite of with complete peace of mind, staring at it as he ate. Xue Wenxiang felt as uncomfortable as if the chair was burning her bottom.
Her originally confident posture was twisted into a hunched position with her knees together.
He threw the entire plate at her, and said viciously:
"I'll gouge out your eyes again."
Xu Zangyu took the plate, and his eyes never left the spiritual fruits.
After being hungry for a day and a night, they finally had something to eat, but Xue Wenxiang's face was as ugly as a murderous lividity.
Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over a few spiritual fruits?
Anxianglou is so poor, what's wrong with them?
They won't even let anyone see it.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Xu Cangyu ate furtively while saying, "Although it's said that a good woman is afraid of a man's persistence, with the way the young master is persisting, I estimate that he might not succeed even in ten years."
"Chu Shu is not the type to be forced; young master, you must try your best to win her over."
Xue Wenxiang changed her posture, crossed her legs, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was no longer looking at places he shouldn't have.
"Touch me with your heart? How do you mean by touching me with your heart? Isn't my heart sincere enough?"
"I am the young master of the prestigious Dark Fragrance Pavilion. Anyone who becomes my person is a blessing from their past life, yet Chu Shu is ungrateful."
Xu Zangyu wished he could cover his ears and pour out all this nonsense.
He continued against his conscience, "That's because she hasn't seen how good the young master is. You only truly cherish someone when you see them for yourself."
Xue Wenxiang found that although the little fox spirit was annoying, his words were pleasant to hear. As long as he knew his limits and didn't do anything excessive, he wasn't too much of a nuisance.
"So, in your opinion..."
"A hero saves a damsel in distress; true friendship is revealed in times of trouble."
*
After much deliberation, the plan was finalized, but Xu Zangyu still felt uncertain.
Given that the sect leader's only daughter got drunk and caused a scene with Xiao Mingxin, there's no way the sect leader would let Chu Shu out to cause trouble again.
Chu Shu was extremely concerned about her reputation, and even if she couldn't remember what happened after drinking, she would never go down the mountain to embarrass herself again, lest she be targeted by those scoundrels again.
No matter how perfect the plan is, if the main character doesn't show up, the play can't be performed. So how can he escape from the narcissistic Xue Wenxiang?
A day later, the people Xue Wenxiang sent out to investigate brought bad news.
The sect leader learned that Chu Shu had spent the night drunk and had fought with his fellow disciples, resulting in both of them vomiting blood. He has ordered the two to reflect on their actions behind closed doors.
Xu Zangyu felt utterly hopeless. Did no one really care that there was still a Tianyi Sect disciple wandering far from home?
In contrast, Xue Wenxiang was not worried at all, and even gloated, "Chu Shu and Xiao Mingxin couldn't possibly not know that you are in my hands, and Tianyi Sect has not asked me for you yet... Little fox, you won't be unwanted, will you?"
These words, though casually mentioned by Xue Wenxiang in jest, directly struck at Xu Zangyu's vulnerability.
He wasn't considered a promising student when he first started out; he was practically brought in just to fill a spot and barely made it into the ranks. He was essentially left to his own devices.
I've survived this long entirely on my own merits.
The usually eloquent little fox fell silent, its head drooping, its bright eyes dimming, and it was completely devoid of its previous spirit.
Seeing his pitiful and aggrieved appearance, Xue Wenxiang actually felt a little uncomfortable.
"What's so great about the Tianyi Sect? There are many other sects in the world that can stand firm, and the Tianyi Sect is not the only one."
"Little fox, if you beg me, I promise I won't have any improper thoughts about you. How about my Dark Fragrance Pavilion accepts you as a disciple?"
Not good at all. Who would want to be with this narcissist? He's not even interested in men.
"I dare not trouble you, young master."
Xu Zangyu refused decisively. Xue Wenxiang was surprised for a moment, but then came to her senses and said, "Hmph, you still lust after this young master's body."
Faced with such temptation, the little fox actually disagreed, showing some self-control but also being incredibly audacious.
How could I, the young master, let him get away with this?
"I've already spread the word that there's treasure in Guixu. If Chu Shu comes, we'll proceed according to your plan; if she doesn't..."
Xue Wenxiang thought for a while and said, "Then you will be a death squad member from now on and work your life for Anxiang Tower to pay the price."
Three days later.
Xu Zangyu knew he was about to die, but he was carefree and didn't mistreat himself for the past few days.
Xue Wenxiang even wondered if it was because the food at Anxianglou was too delicious, or if he had never eaten his fill at Tianyi Sect.
This made him eat several extra bowls of rice these past few days.
The people of Anxianglou traveled the world, spreading false information that attracted many sect members.
"Isn't the Ruins of Return a dead land? How come it hides treasures?"
“The more precious something is, the more likely it is to be tied up in a place where no one goes. I’ve heard that there’s an unborn sword inside,” a swordsman said.
"Nonsense, isn't it a miracle drug that can bring the dead back to life and heal bones?" a doctor said.
“Where did you hear this false information? These are clearly musical instruments passed down from the realm of the gods,” a musician said.
Xu Cangyu became increasingly suspicious as he listened. "Your Anxiang Pavilion doesn't even coordinate your statements when spreading false information?"
Xue Wenxiang: "What do you know? Only news that arouses the desire of different people is useful news."
Xu Zangyu thought about it again and realized that it actually made some sense.
"Then do you know what Chu Shu wants?"
“Peerless weapons and divine pills, which one doesn’t tempt people? I don’t believe Chu Shu wouldn’t be moved.”
Xu Zangyu looked around but couldn't see Chu Shu or even a disciple of the Tianyi Sect.
Xue Wenxiang followed his gaze and complained, "Is your Tianyi Sect so closed off? It's one thing for disciples not to go down the mountain to move around freely, but why do you repeatedly stop other sects from visiting you? It's like someone is going to steal you young maidens."
Xu Zangyu thought to himself, "When has the Tianyi Sect ever stopped other sects from making legitimate visits? It's the sect leader who's wary of people from your Anxiang Pavilion."
The sect leader only has one precious daughter, Chu Shu. How could he just stand by and watch her be taken away by some wild boar?
There are many others in the Tianyi Sect who secretly admire Chu Shu. If Xue Wenxiang were to visit her every day, she would have been ganged up on and beaten up by the Tianyi Sect disciples long ago.
As more and more people gathered, Xu Zangyu stood next to Xue Wenxiang and did not take the opportunity to leave.
The reason was simple: Xue Wenxiang had given him a secret drug from Wenxianglou. If he didn't take the antidote within seven days, he would die from a ruptured stomach and intestinal rot.
What a vicious person! He pretended to be a sycophant and said so many disgusting sweet nothings.
Xue Wenxiang reached behind him, her hand slipping over his shoulder, and grabbed his chin with her other hand. "Were you secretly cursing me?"
In some ways, Xue Wenxiang was surprisingly perceptive.
“Scolding won’t help; Anxiang Tower always needs some ways to control people.”
"I understand, young master, but I hate that I can't gain your trust." Xu Cangyu secretly rolled his eyes. He just thought he was an easy target.
The Realm of Return to Nothingness is like a bottomless, dried-up river valley. After traveling a short distance, two forks appear before your eyes.
One path extends upwards along the steep, precipitous cliff face, while another descends into a damp, muddy cave.
He glanced at the soft, sticky mud in the cave and then headed towards the more treacherous cliff face.
Xue Wenxiang stopped him, "Aren't you afraid of dying? Why don't you take the safer route?"
The traps on the walls were all deadly traps set by their Dark Fragrance Pavilion, and he certainly knew how to choose them.
Xu Zangyu simply said, "Senior Sister is naturally clean and would never walk on that muddy ground."
Unaware of this, Xue Wenxiang stopped in her tracks. Seeing his confident demeanor, as if he knew Chu Shu very well, Xue Wenxiang felt inexplicably displeased.
"Then do you know what Chu Shu likes and dislikes?"
"My senior sister loves tea, and the tea must be the dew from the flowers at dawn on the mountaintop. Her clothes are made only of gold-threaded gauze, and she loves to drink cold plum wine..."
Xue Wenxiang knew nothing about these things. He should have kept them in mind, but the more he listened, the more annoyed he became.
I was afraid Xue Wenxiang wouldn't remember the details Xu Zangyu had explained, but when I turned around, I found Xue Wenxiang was daydreaming!
So he talked until his mouth was dry, and he told it all to the dog!
A face suddenly loomed close to his, "Young Master, if you really like Chu Shu, you'd better listen carefully. These are all important points, so you need to take notes."
Xue Wenxiang's mind was buzzing, and all she could hear was his little mouth talking nonstop. Looking down, she saw that his little mouth was quite rosy.
He felt a tap on his chest. "Young Master, are you even listening to me?"
The force wasn't strong, and the redness and swelling on his chest had already healed, but Xue Wenxiang felt a tingling sensation rush to the top of his head, and he grabbed the hand in front of him.
"Just talk, do you think I gave you permission to touch me however you want?"
Xu Zangyu: "..." What are you fantasizing about?!
With a blank, speechless face, he said, "If the young master is unhappy, then touch it back."
"You wish!" Xue Wenxiang shook off his hand, her ears burning. "I'm warning you, don't get too obsessed with me. I'm not a man you can just get so easily—"
Turning around, there was no one in front of me, but a response came from above.
"Young Master, I'll go scout ahead first."
Xue Wenxiang gritted her teeth, "Did I say you could leave?"
Xu Zangyu didn't hear him and leaped several times, darting far away.
After a long time, Xue Wenxiang still hadn't caught up, so he simply took out paper and pen and wrote down everything he had just said about Chu Shu's preferences.
It also provided relevant dating advice.
Unfortunately, it's a real headache for teachers to deal with students who don't pay attention in class and think they're all that's good for them.
After finishing writing, Xu Cangyu saw Xue Wenxiang following behind and tossed the booklet in his hand to him.
"A guide to romance, young master, are you ready?"
Xue Wenxiang subconsciously reached out, but the booklet was intercepted in mid-air by a paper fan.
Both of them were stunned. Xu Zangyu was overjoyed and looked in the direction of the fan flying. On the protruding rock of the cliff stood a young man in light gauze clothes.
An unfamiliar face, with a cold and arrogant gaze that seemed to be both smiling and not smiling.
After Xue Wenxiang saw it clearly, she cursed loudly, "You idiot! What are you doing imitating Chu Shu? You think you're Chu Shu just because you wave a fan?"
The young man didn't even look at Xue Wenxiang. He opened the booklet and smiled, his eyes fixed on Xu Cangyu. "You know this person so well, could it be that you like him?"
Xue Wenxiang also looked at him suspiciously. Xu Cangyu smiled wryly: "After all, she is my senior sister. After spending so much time together, it's inevitable that we'll get to know each other's habits."
"Is it your turn to conduct the interrogation?"
Xue Wenxiang glared back and stood in front of Xu Cangyu, "And what you have in your hand isn't for you, you wretched fly! You like Chu Shu too, don't you!"
