But just as Mr. Xu had said, Xu Sheng was the most exceptional warrior from the Mortal Realm in the Xu Clan’s generation. The family even anticipated bestowing Xu Sheng’s sword to him. The decisions of such an outstanding person would never be made rashly.

No matter how uneasy Xu Shuhui felt inside, she could only comply with this

decision.

Xu Shuhui forced a smile, “I’m fine, Auntie. Let’s eat.

“Alright, Auntie.” After comforting the elder, Mr. Xu turned his head towards Tang Luo, “By the way, Mi Bai has invited you to dinner! I told him you would be back at the end of the month.”

Tang Luo raised an eyebrow, asking, “Why?”

Although Mr. Xu got along well with Mi Bai, the same might not be said for him.

From the first time they met in the Fox Immortal Temple, he felt that Mi Bai’s gaze towards him was complicated. Since he didn’t know Mi Bai, this complexity was probably due to the Tang Clan.

So Tang Luo deliberately looked up the Wind Media Department’s files. Based on Mi Bai’s age and surname, combined with the information in the case files, he somewhat understood Mi Bai’s past. It was generous of Mi Bai to not be openly hostile towards him, let alone invite him to dinner. Something seemed fishy about this.

Mr. Xu did not understand Tang Luo’s hesitation. He thought carefully about Mi Bai’s request and replied, “Hey, isn’t it because of your five acres decree? He wants to thank you in person.”

Tang Luo raised an eyebrow, curiously asking, “How did he know I was behind the decree of the five acres?”

“Everyone in the city knows.” Mr. Xu replied matter-of-factly.

Xu Shuhui also chimed in, “The decree is posted all over the city, and it says you proposed the idea due to the current high grain prices in Xihng.” Since the Martial Hall was too close to home, he had never seen the proclamation. However, based on their descriptions, the distribution of this decree seemed suspicious.

“That’s strange.” Tang Luo murmured, puzzled by the Tang Clan’s actions.

Considering his own realm, the family would never want him to be exposed under the sun, yet they supported him through the decree. This contradictory action had him perplexed.

“What’s strange?” Xu Shuhui didn’t care much and laughed brightly, sounding proud, “They are preparing a dossier in the clan about you. The people of Xiling call you the ‘living Buddha of ten thousand families’. These days, many people have come to give gifts, and the storage room is full.

If something didn’t make sense, then he would not dwell on it. After all, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

But upon hearing his mother’s words, Tang Luo just smiled and nodded without taking it to heart. After all, these were just flattering words.

To fill the storeroom of the mansion, one would need a lot of items. If the people were so affluent, there would be no need for him to rack his brains to launch the decree.

Knowing the actual reason why Mi Bai had invited him, Tang Luo decided to accept the invitation, as everyone needs friends after all.

Upon hearing that Tang Luo had accepted, Mr. Xu’s face lit up with excitement, “Tomorrow morning, we will go to see Mi Bai and set the time!

So, the plan to take over Longzhou was thwarted just by a meal? Tang Luo was a little speechless, “What about your fighting platform?” “No worries, we have Yuan Zhu there to handle things. It wouldn’t matter if those who survived the one-shot fight were given a day off.” Mr. Xu said casually, as if leaving Yuan Zhu alone to face tens of thousands of Xihng warriors was no problem at all.

At this moment, Tang Luo was extremely grateful that he didn’t agree to host the stage initially. Otherwise, it would be him facing these fierce and relentless Xiling warriors.

At that time, he was fooled into believing there wouldn’t be many fights. Yes, indeed, not many, just several hundred fights!

Even if he only had to perform one move per fight, just contemplating the spiritual power consumption made him feel dizzy. Four hundred fights in a month? If he really fought them all, his martial arts journey would surely reach its end.

“Thank God for my quick thinking!” Tang Luo sincerely thought to himself. Besides visiting his family, he had another important task to carry out during this visit home. Going to see Mi Bai the next day would be convenient for accomplishing this task.

The greatest benefit of not having Tang Sen’s dinner party was that everyone ate very quickly. Except for mother who continued to wait in the dining hall for a man who didn’t know when he would return, everyone else dispersed.

The little boy who would usually cling to him the moment he got home disappeared as soon as he finished eating, which made Tang Luo feel puzzled.

As for Mr. Xu, he was stable as always. After dinner, he ran off to the Tianxiang Building.

The next morning, when the sky hadn’t even brightened yet, he reliably knocked on Tang Luo’s door.

“Knock, knock, knock.” The urgent and clear knocking sound expressed the host’s excitement and impatience.

Since Tang Luo gave up sleep, he could finally cope with these rage-inducing early visits.

“He’s here! He’s here!” He opened the door, looking up and down at Xu

Lao-Ying with a strange look.

Xu Lao-Ying was confused, he glanced down at himself, asking, “What?”

“I just want to know, sleeping with eight women in one night, how can you still wake up so early? Aren’t you tired?”

“Ah- Ha!” Every time the topic of women comes up, Xu Lao-Ying gets excited, “We, martial artists, hone our bodies to endure long bouts of combat, it’s nothing, really nothing.”

He looked so smug, it didn’t seem like it’s ‘really nothing’. Tang Luo chuckled and joked, “Alright, alright, you’re the best, let’s go.”

“Okay, okay, let’s go-”

The two walked out of the mansion, and Xu Lao-Ying got closer and closer until he playfully hooked his arm around Tang Luo’s neck, laughing, “I have a secret bedroom technique, once you master it, you can easily please a hundred women in a night, seeing as you’re my dear cousin, how about I sell it to you?” His logic was baffling, cousins being relative, how could he possibly be ‘not so related’?

Tang Luo expressionless, pushed Xu Lao-Ying’s arm away: “What do you need money for? Aren’t the ladies at Tianxiang Building enough for you?”

“Ah- Ha! Listen to yourself, I, Xu, have a habit when it comes to sleeping with women!” Xu Lao-Ying said assertively, “I never sleep with the same woman twice!”

“So?”

“I’m almost done with all the ladies at Tianxiang Building, I need to start going elsewhere, isn’t that going to cost me?”

Staring at Xu Lao-Ying’s righteous face, Tang Luo joked, “Aren’t you afraid of diseases?”

“Underestimating your elder cousin, huh?” Xu Lao-Ying looked proud, patting his chest, “My Tongming Sword Body’s greatest trait is its immunity to all toxins, diseases are impossible!”

If the Xu Clan’s ancestors knew that in this generation’s eyes, the major advantage of the Xu Clan’s top sword body is to prevent him from catching diseases, would they be so angry that they would come back from the dead? Though he knew Xu Lao-Ying frequented brothels for cultivation, to see such preparation was indeed eye-opening.

At least in regard to treating the brothel’s matter, Tang Luo genuinely admired Xu Lao-Ying, “You are the greatest client I’ve ever seen, truly admirable!” “So, Cuz, what do you think, should I sell you this bedroom technique?”

“I don’t need it.”

“How could you not need it!” Xu Lao-Ying was immediately upset, he raised his voice, “Not learning this bedroom technique, how will you survive the dating scene?”

“Lower your voice!”

This guy didn’t realize they had already been walking on the street. If it weren’t for the near empty roads in the early morning, Tang Luo would have fled in sheer embarrassment at the sound of Xu Lao-Ying’s loud proclamation. Realizing his blunder, Xu Lao-Ying gave an awkward smile, but he moved closer to Tang Luo again, quietly promoting his bedroom technique.

“This bedroom technique is limited edition.”

“I don’t need it.”

“How can you not need it, all men can use it!”

“I really don’t need it.”

“Listen to your cousin, once you’ve experienced a woman, you’ll understand how important this bedroom technique is to a man.”

Xu Lao-Ying, even though he lowered his voice, was still determined to sell Tang Luo his bedroom technique, not willing to back off.

Seeing the way things were going, Tang Luo knew he couldn’t escape this sales pitch without convincing Xu Lao-Ying, so he stopped walking, looked seriously at Xu Lao-Ying, and said:

“Firstly, for someone as complex as I am, I find it hard to fall in love. “Secondly, if a beautiful woman is taken simply for lust, I’d let her take the lead.”

-So you tell me, what use could I have for this bedroom technique?”
