Before he entered the inn, he saw someone squatting at the door. He was motionless, with a rag on his arm and a broom in his arms.
She stared into the distance. Who else could it be but Old Guo's precious daughter, Guo Furong?
However, her acupoints had been sealed by Lao Bai's Sunflower Acupoint Pressing Hand. Other than blinking, she could not move her fingers.
Lao Bai would occasionally walk out of the inn with his arms crossed. Coincidentally, he saw Su Xuan walking over, so he smiled and waved at him."Little Su, come and take a look. This is the notorious male and female duo in the martial arts world.”
Guo Furong's pretty face immediately turned red. She even wanted to die, but she couldn't move. Otherwise, she would have given Bai Zhantang a huge blow to vent her humiliation.
She was Guo Juxia's daughter. Although she had not done many good things, at least she had good intentions.
But now, someone had pointed at his acupuncture point and placed it at the door. It was like a monkey show being watched by people and being criticized by others.
It was truly a great humiliation.
Su Xuan's gaze landed on Guo Furong and sized her up for a moment before he said with a playful expression,""Is this a female or a male?"
Lao Bai teased," Needless to say, they're definitely female. They're just two young girls."
The other had just left, leaving her alone.”
"Hehe, guess whose family this girl belongs to?”
Guo Furong winked at Bai Zhantang crazily, hinting at him not to talk too much. It was enough to embarrass himself. If he even embarrassed his father, he would definitely be beaten up when he returned.
"Ahem, you know him."
Lao Bai had a mysterious look on his face, completely ignoring the hint in Guo Furong's eyes.
"Who is it?"
Su Xuan pretended to be puzzled.
"The famous chief constable of Six Fan School, Guo Juxia.”
Lao Bai exposed Guo Furong's past. The latter simply closed her eyes and pretended not to hear or see.
"So you're Old Guo's daughter."
Su Xuan chuckled." I've heard him mention that he has such a precious daughter. Her name is Guo Furong, and she's unruly and willful."”
Hearing this, Guo Furong was also very curious. Although the young man in front of her looked very handsome, she would never believe that he knew her father.
"This Miss Furong has now signed the contract and officially became a servant of Tongfu Inn. However, this person is afraid of suffering, so he often wants to escape.”
"If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll think that Jianghu is really that gentle," said Lao Bai.”
"Let her stand outside today and be a mascot.”
Tong Xiangyu came down from upstairs with a smug smile on her face.
Throughout the afternoon, Guo Furong stood in a horse stance at the entrance of the inn, paying attention to every customer who came in and out.
Her heart was already numb. Her eyes were empty, and two drops of tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. Only her heart was calling out.
"Father, Father, save me."
"I want to go home."
"The martial world is so scary."
"I don't want to wander the martial world anymore.”
"Father, quickly come and bring me home.”
Unfortunately, Guo Juxia, who was far away in the capital, couldn't hear his precious daughter's call.
He was lying in the headquarters of Six Fan School, drinking tea leisurely.
As for Guo Furong's safety, Old Guo wasn't worried at all. Putting aside the protection of the Six Fan School, with Su Xuan around, who could cause trouble?
In the evening, it was not until the last customer left that Lao Bai undid Guo Furong's acupuncture point. She almost collapsed to the ground.
The shopkeeper and Xiaobei helped her in and she sat on a chair.
"You guys are bullying me, bullying me.”
"So many people are bullying a weak woman like me.”
Guo Furong choked.
"Who told you to run away?"
"Little Guo, as long as you don't run away, I won't let Old White point at you."”
"Of course."
She suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile,"If you run away again, I'll immediately take the contract to the yamen and post your arrest warrant everywhere. I'll also specially put your name on the arrest warrant: Guo Furong, Guo Juxia's daughter.”
These words made Guo Furong's entire body tremble. She pointed at Tong Xiangyu with a trembling finger and gritted her teeth."You're so ruthless."
"A man can't be without poison. A woman's heart is the most poisonous.”
These two unrelated words came out of Tong Xiangyu's mouth, but they somehow fit the situation.
"Don't try to escape."
Mo Xiaobei revealed a strange smile. Suddenly, the Mystic Tiger stood up from behind her, supporting itself with its two hind paws.
The Mystic Tiger was several heads taller than Guo Furong. It stared at her with its blue beast eyes.
Guo Furong's body trembled and her mouth was wide open. Her eyes were filled with fear. She raised her head with difficulty and looked into Mystic Tiger's eyes.
"Roar!"
This guy suddenly let out a deep tiger roar. The loud and sharp roar made Guo Furong's hair fly in the air, and a thick murderous aura assaulted her face.
Its sharp fangs were dripping with saliva.
Guo Furong's body suddenly calmed down. Lao Bai and Tong Xiangyu were puzzled. Why was she not afraid?
Mystic Tiger's eyes also revealed a hint of doubt. He had clearly acted so fiercely, so why was this woman not moving at all?
Mo Xiaobei carefully used her finger to touch Guo Furong, whose eyes were wide open and motionless. Guo Furong fell backward and sat on the chair. Her eyes were lifeless as she muttered,"Don't eat me."
"I won't run anymore."
"I beg you, don't eat me."
"Don't tell me you're scared silly."
Big Mouth hesitated.
"Probably not."
Lao Bai wasn't sure either.
"How can the daughter of Guo Juxia be so timid?”
The shopkeeper muttered to himself and asked Xiaobei to go to the backyard to get a bowl of well water to drip on the back of Guo Furong's neck.
Guo Furong immediately jumped up from her chair.
"Don't eat me, don't eat me. I won't run anymore.”
She hid behind Old White with a terrified expression and her legs were trembling. Mystic Tiger looked at Guo Furong with disdain and then lay down at the bottom of the stairs, closing his eyes and dozing off.
"If you dare to run in the future, I'll let the Mystic Tiger chase after you. It can eat half a cow in one bite and shatter such a big rock with one slap.”
Mo Xiaobei spread out her hands, trying to scare Guo Furong.
"Hurry up and tidy up the tables and chairs. Remember to wipe them three times and wash the clothes in the backyard.”
Lao Bai and Big Mouth took turns ordering him around.
in the inn
Su Xuan and the others were happily eating and drinking, chatting and laughing. Guo Furong, who was working at the side, would occasionally turn around to look at the food on the table.
She subconsciously swallowed her saliva, and her stomach grumbled.
"What are you looking at?"
Lao Bai turned around and said,"You're not allowed to eat if you can't finish it.”
"I'm so hungry that I don't have any strength."
Guo Furong wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked,"Everyone, please do me a favor. Can you let me finish my meal first before continuing to work?”
"No."
Big Mouth slammed the table and roared,""You have to finish your work before you can eat.”
"Little Su, do you think Guo Juxia will be angry if we do this?”
Tong Xiangyu was a little worried and whispered.
"I'm fine."
Su Xuan raised his wine cup and raised his brows. He glanced at Guo Furong's back and said softly,""Increase the intensity and let her know the dangers of this world.”
"With your words, I'm relieved.”
She pursed her lips.
"When the time comes, Old Guo might have to thank you.”
Su Xuan grinned.
After drinking the wine in the cup, he poured another cup. In the blink of an eye, the jar of wine was more than half empty.
"Mystic Tiger, let's go."
He stood up and shouted.
The fellow crawled out lazily from the bottom of the stairs. He glared at Guo Furong before following Su Xuan out of the inn.
"Hurry up and do the laundry."
Mo Xiaobei placed her hands on her hips.
"Wuwuwu"
As Guo Furong worked, tears streamed down her face. There was only regret in her heart. She regretted not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth and leaving the capital to wander the martial world.
He regretted staying behind, regretted not seeing through these people's true colors earlier.
He returned to the small building and opened the window. Under the moonlight, a cool breeze blew and it started to drizzle.
The first rain of early autumn was not cold. Instead, it made the courtyard even cooler. Soon, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sound of rain fell.
It hit the tiles, the railings, the plants, and the pond. After this rain, the living beings of heaven and earth would begin to wither.
Only when spring came would new life be born. It would be a cycle that would never stop. This was the creation of heaven and earth and the infinite mysteries of the universe.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the night was hazy. Dark clouds gathered from all directions, and the moonlight dimmed. The Mystic Tiger rushed into the rain from the hall of the small building, then jumped into the pool, and its four claws kept digging around.
They were having fun, drinking water from time to time and spitting water at the bamboo forest in the distance. If they hit the bamboo leaves, they would show joy, but if they missed, they would be annoyed.
He really didn't know what kind of species this fellow was. It had such high spirituality. Although it looked like a tiger, its size and strength far exceeded that of an ordinary tiger.
"I'll come up and sleep after playing for a while."
Su Xuan shouted from the railing.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes. He focused his mind and circulated the Wedding Dress True Qi to fill his entire body with internal energy. Then, he began to circulate his internal energy.
After several large circulation cycles, his inner Qi had finished regulating. He opened his eyes and happened to see Mystic Tiger tiptoeing in silently. The water on his body had already been washed clean outside.
Seeing that Su Xuan had woken up, the Mystic Tiger came over and nudged his leg before lying down on the bed and curling up.
After a while, thunderous snores sounded.
Su Xuan continued to meditate. The Eight Tier Wedding Dress Divine Art in his body began to circulate automatically while his mind entered the system space.
" I choose to strengthen the Ninefold Golden Bell Shield."
"Beep. Host, do you wish to spend 500,000 martial arts points to strengthen the Nine-Layered Golden Bell Shield?”
"Strengthening."
" Beep. Congratulations, Host. Strengthening failed. 500,000 martial arts points will be deducted.”
"Strengthening."
"Beep. Congratulations, host. Strengthening failed. 500,000 enhancement points will be deducted.”
"Strengthening."
"Beep. Congratulations, host. Strengthening failed. 500,000 enhancement points will be deducted.”
He looked at the martial arts points that were falling like a cliff and could not help but feel his heart ache. These were all the assets that he had worked hard to accumulate.
Now that he was spending it like water, who wouldn't feel heartache? However, no matter how much heartache he felt, he had to continue.
Martial arts points were the same as money. Only when they were spent could they produce value. If they were not spent, they would just be a pile of useless data.
"Strengthening."
Taking a deep breath, he chose to continue.
" Beep. Congratulations to the host for successfully strengthening. The Ninefold Golden Bell Shield has been strengthened to the Vajra Dragon Elephant Technique. 500,000 martial arts points have been deducted.”
Immediately after, an esoteric martial art classic appeared in his mind, and Su Xuan's mind exited the system space.
He began to read the Vajra Dragon Elephant Art in his sea of consciousness. With just a cursory glance, he knew that this martial art was much stronger than the Ninefold Golden Bell Shield.
Furthermore, just like the Nine Golden Bell Cocoon and the Wedding Dress Divine Art, they were both Buddhist cultivation techniques. To Su Xuan, this was good news.
It would be easier and more relaxed when he changed his cultivation.
At the same time, this martial art was also much more profound and obscure. It took him an entire night to roughly understand more than half of the mental cultivation methods of the first three levels.
Low-level body-tempering techniques mostly required the help of external forces, such as Golden Bell Shield, Iron Skin, and the Eighteen Fierce Guardians.
When he first started cultivating, he would either beat himself with a stick or beat himself with stones and sand. He would torture himself endlessly to make his body stronger, his skin tougher, and his bones tougher.
The outer layer tempered the skin, while the inner layer tempered the bones. The Nine Golden Bell Shield belonged to the Bone Tempering Internal Skill, which tempered the internal organs and the bones of the whole body through Genuine Qi.
The truly superior body-refining techniques were all blood-refining techniques. Vitality was the foundation of the body, and a strong Vitality would strengthen the body.
It was to increase the strength of one's life from the source, thus forging a stronger physique and obtaining a longer lifespan.
The Vajra Dragon Elephant Art was such a superior blood-refining technique. Su Xuan wasn't in a hurry to cultivate it, and he would take his time after he had thoroughly mastered it.
"You're up. You're still sleeping."
He kicked the Mystic Tiger's butt in annoyance. The latter opened its sleepy eyes and yawned, as if asking why he had woken him up so early.
"Let's go. I'll teach you how to use strength today.”
Su Xuan smiled.
The Mystic Tiger climbed up reluctantly and jumped down from the railing on the third floor. He landed steadily on the ground and walked to the pond. He dipped his head into the water and used his furry paws to wash his face. Finally, he swallowed some saliva in his mouth and shook his head before spitting it out.
It jumped onto the martial arts stage and circled around the seven giant stones. From time to time, it even wanted to use its claws to push the stones. However, each stone weighed ten thousand pounds. No matter how hard it tried, it did not move at all.
Su Xuan wrapped himself in a white robe and placed his hands behind his back as he floated onto the stage. He first cultivated the sword technique, fist technique, palm technique, and finger technique. Sweating profusely, he began to teach Mystic Tiger.
"Strength should come from the waist."
He said slowly,"Gather it in your palm and strike it quickly."”
He didn't care if Mystic Tiger understood or not. He demonstrated it first. He stretched out his right hand, formed a palm print, and slammed it on the stone.
The stone weighing over ten thousand jin was directly sent flying three feet away by the palm.
"Do you understand?"
He retracted his palm and looked at it.
The Mystic Tiger shook his head and walked in front of the stone. He raised his paw, which was almost the size of a palm-leaf fan. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly slapped the stone in front of him.
The powerful force brought about a violent wind. However, when the huge tiger claw hit the stone, the stone did not move at all. Instead, it was the Mystic Tiger who jumped in pain.
"Idiot."
Su Xuan laughed." Your strength was too scattered just now. You have to concentrate all your strength on your palm. The moment you make contact with the stone, you have to send your strength out."”
"Continue."
He said," Anyway, you have nothing to do. You just eat and sleep every day. It's better to use it to practice your palm strength."”
"Awoo!"
The Mystic Tiger barked, but Su Xuan simply brought a chair over and sat beside it, supervising its cultivation.
Although this fellow was extremely unwilling, he could only obediently pat the stone with his claws.
When his left paw was tired, he would use his right paw.
For the entire morning, Mystic Tiger had been clapping at the stone, causing his front paws to swell.
"Not bad."
Su Xuan noticed that although it had yet to master the technique of exerting force, it had at least improved.
"Now, let's begin the second cultivation, external cultivation.”
He took out a wooden stick from somewhere and weighed it. The weight was just right.
"Come, attack me."
Su Xuan waved his hand, and the Mystic Tiger raised its swollen right front paw feebly and slowly slapped at Su Xuan.
"Pa!"
Before his claws could land, the rod had already struck its body. A moment later, the rod in Su Xuan's hand turned into a blur and struck the Mystic Tiger's body like a storm. He had infused True Qi into it, and every strike would inject True Qi into its body, stimulating its acupoints and cleansing its bones and muscles.
