Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Jing Shu used all his strength to swallow the words, "Who are you? I don't know you."

He knew that if he said it, Jingyou would definitely go on a drunken rampage.

But why does he act so crazy after drinking?! Look how scared everyone over there is!

Jing Shu pushed Jing You's head, trying to get the alcohol-smelling Jing You away from him.

But unfortunately, Jingyou in his current state is even harder to control than a pig to be slaughtered for the New Year!

"Brother~ Where did you go? Don't abandon me!"

Hearing the coquettish tone, Jing Shu clenched his fists again and again, feeling that his smile was about to crumble.

The nascent soul inside the ancient jade laughed until it choked.

"Hahahaha, why, hahaha, are all the people around us such terrible drinkers?"

Jing Shu was also curious about why this was. He himself couldn't drink, but even when he did, he wouldn't act crazy; at most, his mind would just slow down. But his master would become very childish after drinking.

Jingyou is different; when Jingyou drinks, he's the one who loses face!

The onlookers all turned to look at Jing Shu, dressed in white with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He didn't forcefully push away Jing You, who was tightly embracing him, and even had a faint smile on his face, seemingly quite helpless towards his younger brother.

Wow! This is his brother, with his long, flowing hair, otherworldly elegance, and pure and innocent beauty!

The female guests' eyes lit up; he really was handsome! He wasn't as fierce as the younger brother had described!

Under the watchful eyes of many onlookers, Jing Shu slowly raised his right hand, as if to pat Jing You's head.

Wow! They spoil her so much!

As the female guests were getting excited, Jing Shu swiftly and unexpectedly chopped Jing You in the back of the neck with a chop, and Jing You instantly collapsed onto Jing Shu.

hiss--!

Everyone felt a sharp pain in the back of their neck. Actually, it seems that what the younger brother said wasn't wrong after all...

After the excitement was over, everyone went back to doing what they were supposed to do.

Jing Shu supported Jing You with his hand to prevent him from falling to the ground, and looked up at the two onlookers upstairs.

"I'm very sorry, Jingyou, I'll pay for the things you broke."

Xue Niang smiled and waved her hand, "It's nothing, just a table. Yu Rou, take them to my house."

Lin Yuru smiled and agreed.

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me."

"Thank you for your help." Jing Shu used a cleansing spell on Jing You to get rid of the smell of alcohol on him before carrying Jing You on his back and leaving Zui Xian Lou with Lin Yu Rou.

On the way, Lin Yuru took the initiative to start a conversation, "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Jing Shu, with such a steady personality, would have such a lively younger brother."

She had assumed that Jing Shu's younger brother would be similar in temperament to Jing Shu, but she never expected that the two brothers would have such a contrasting personality.

"Yeah, I spoiled him." Jing Shu replied in a flat tone.

Lin Yuru chuckled softly upon hearing this. Yes, only those who have been pampered since childhood would act coquettishly towards their elders, like Jingyou, like herself.

"I still want to thank you today. If you hadn't exposed me, Sister Xue wouldn't have told me about this. Not only that, she would have continued to lie to me and make me leave here."

Lin Yuru felt a wave of fear. Given Xue Niang's personality, she probably wouldn't have told anyone about this, including her master.

"Why?" Jing Shu asked. "Why didn't she report this to your sect? Even if she only had some suspicions, she should have reported it to the sect and sent more people."

Jing Shu didn't understand. Even if Xue Niang's cultivation was high, she couldn't stop someone from ambushing her from the shadows. Jing Shu had noticed something was wrong during their previous conversation, but since it was someone else's business, he didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Lin Yuru took the initiative to start a conversation, prompting Jing Shu to ask the question that had been bothering him.

"Sister Xue's original name was Chen Xuejun. She had a Daoist partner, and the two were very happy. However, during a mission, Sister Xue's partner was killed by an evil cultivator, and Sister Xue fell into despair. It wasn't until Immortal Venerable Hanluo discovered that organization that Sister Xue managed to cheer up and set off with the sect disciples to kill the evil cultivator. This is also why Sister Xue has such great respect for Immortal Venerable Hanluo."

"Later, the war against evil ended. In order to prevent Sister Xue from continuing to wallow in the pain of losing her Daoist partner, Master sent her away from Lingxi Sect to guard the seal here and prevent any evil cultivators from obtaining the Soul-Devouring Beast before it dies," Lin Yuru said softly, recounting what her master had told her.

After listening, Jing Shu remained silent for a moment, then said, "So, the reason she didn't report this to your sect is because she... didn't want to live anymore..."

Jing Shu knew that Xue Niang's cultivation level was very high. If she were to sacrifice herself, it would be enough to ensure that the evil cultivators would not return.

She wanted to die, but she also wanted to die a worthy death.

Lin Yuru nodded slightly. "Master probably knew what Sister Xue was thinking, so he sent me here. But I didn't expect Sister Xue to keep such a big thing a secret. I will inform Master immediately, but as Sister Xue said, Master may not receive the news in time. In addition, given the time needed for Lingxi Sect to send people to provide support, it may not be in time for the full moon three days from now."

"However, I will not let anything happen to Sister Xue, absolutely not."

Sister Xue is the kindest person to her besides her master. She would never stand by and watch Sister Xue be in trouble.

As the two were talking, they arrived at Xue Niang's residence.

After entering the house, Lin Yuru led Jing Shu to a place where guests could stay.

"There are several guest rooms here, all of which are available for accommodation."

"Thank you."

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now." Lin Yuru turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Jing Shu suddenly called out to Lin Yuru, and used his spiritual power to take out a money pouch from his storage bag and put it in Lin Yuru's hand.

"This is the money for the meal."

Jing Shu left in a hurry and then realized he hadn't paid for the meal.

Lin Yuru was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled gently.

"Okay, I will give the money to Sister Xue."

Afterwards, Jing Shu carried Jing You into the guest room, put him on the bed, and then left the house.

"Where are you going?" the Nascent Soul asked, puzzled.

"I'm hungry, let's find something to eat," Jing Shu replied.

He had wanted to eat something, but with a bunch of things to do and Jingyou so drunk, he hadn't been able to eat a single bite. So he decided to go out for a bite and check on the situation in Huacheng.

Jing Shu didn't go too far after leaving. He saw a wonton shop by the roadside, which looked to be doing quite well, so he decided to go in and try it.

"Grandpa, a bowl of wontons, please."

"Alright, sir, please come in and find a seat. Your wontons will be served shortly," the old man making the wontons said cheerfully.

After entering, Jing Shu found a quiet corner to sit down. Soon, a bowl of wontons was served.

The wontons served exuded an irresistible aroma, the filling filling so generously that the wrappers seemed ready to burst open at any moment.

Jing Shu took a bite; the aroma of meat was irresistible, and it was incredibly delicious. Indeed, there was a reason the business was so good. The old man's wontons were truly delicious.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded.

"Excuse me, how much are the wontons?"
