Chapter 254 Encounter
"Senior Brother, I'm begging you, please let me take a look! Just one glimpse, please?"
"No."
Tianyue pleaded pitifully, but her eldest brother wouldn't allow it. Seeing that appealing to her emotions wasn't working, Tianyue turned her gaze to her second brother, chuckled, and said, "Second brother..."
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Wang Er grinned and said, "It's no use talking to me."
Therefore, Tianyue turned her gaze to her third senior brother, the dwarf. The dwarf seemed to know his place and spoke first, saying, "No way!"
Having been rebuffed, Tian Yue immediately snorted and said, "Fine, I won't go. What's the big deal?"
Chu Xiong laughed and said, "That's right! Junior Brother, I'll teach you now..."
"Ouch! Ouch, ouch!"
Tian Yue suddenly clutched her stomach with both hands, groaning in extreme pain. Chu Xiong and the others chuckled at the sight. They had seen this trick of Tian Yue many times before and were used to it. Chu Xiong laughed and said, "Junior Brother, stop pretending."
Wang Er laughed and said, "It's too fake, it doesn't look real at all."
"Ouch...ouch...eldest brother, my stomach hurts so much, I can't take it anymore..."
"Pfft..."
Like a bolt from the blue, Tianyue quickly pressed one hand to her buttocks and the other to her stomach, her legs crossed tightly together.
"Oh no, I can't take it anymore, it's going to come out."
Chu Xiong and the other two quickly covered their noses with their hands. Tian Yue's poison gas was truly dizzying; its lethality was...too strong. However, they still felt that their junior brother was just putting on an act, after all, he was always cunning.
"Senior Brother, I have an upset stomach, I can't take it anymore, I need to go to the toilet."
The short man pinched his nose and said, "Junior brother, you'd better stop pretending and hurry up and start cultivating..."
"Pfft..."
Another toxic gas was released by Tianyue, and the three Chu Xiong brothers covered their noses again, almost simultaneously taking a step back.
"Third senior brother, do I look like I'm being pretentious? I'm already like this... Oh dear, it's about to come out."
As she spoke, Tianyue quickly unbuckled her belt and was about to squat down when Chu Xiong exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Brother, what are you doing?"
Tianyue said, "Since you won't let me use the restroom, I'll just have to relieve myself right here!"
With the continuous smelly farts as proof, the three brothers from Chuxiong began to believe it to some extent.
Wang Er said urgently, "No, no, no, I give up, okay? Hurry up and go to the outhouse!"
Tianyue's face was flushed red as she said, "You should have agreed earlier."
With that, he quickly pulled up his pants and rushed out. Chu Xiong and his two fellow disciples followed closely behind.
Tianyue rushed to the toilet door, turned around and saw her three senior brothers following her like little shadows. She said impatiently, "Senior Brother, you guys are following me even when I go to the toilet. Is it really necessary?"
Chu Xiong laughed and said, "Alright, hurry up and go in! You can practice your skills after you're done."
"Ugh!"
Tian Yue sighed and said, "Alright, alright, if you're not afraid of the smell, then just stand guard at the door."
After a moment, Chu Xiong called out, "Junior Brother, are you done yet?"
From inside the outhouse came Tian Yue's impatient voice: "I'm doing it! It won't be that fast."
Chu Xiong said, "Then hurry up!"
"Got it!"
After a while, Chu Xiong called out again, "Junior Brother, are you done yet?"
This time, there was no response from the outhouse. He called again, "Junior Brother, Junior Brother..."
After waiting a few seconds with no movement from inside, Wang Er suddenly exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, Junior Brother has run away!"
He rushed into the outhouse, only to find it empty. His junior brother was nowhere to be seen. He noticed the window was open, so he gave a wry smile and turned to leave.
"Second brother, where's junior brother?" Chu Xiong asked.
Wang Er shrugged, his meaning quite clear.
Chu Xiong said anxiously, "Master will be back tomorrow, but what about Junior Brother... Oh dear, what should we do?"
Wang Er said, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother is naturally mischievous and disobedient. The three of us brothers have really suffered a lot. If Master comes back tomorrow and finds that Junior Brother hasn't made any progress, then we'll be..."
Chu Xiong sighed, "Alas, the most urgent thing right now is to find our junior brother as soon as possible, force him to cultivate, and at the same time, directly force our internal energy into his body. Perhaps he can pass Master's test tomorrow."
The dwarf said, "That's true, but where are we going to find our junior brother right now?"
Chu Xiong said, "That's not difficult. Junior Brother just said he was going to see the flower show. I reckon he must have gone there for that."
Wang Er said, "There's no time to lose, let's split up and search immediately. Once we find Junior Brother, we must bring him back no matter what."
Chu Xiong and the dwarf nodded in unison, and Chu Xiong quickly said, "Let's go."
The city of Xiucheng was bustling with excitement on this day, thanks to the once-in-a-decade flower viewing festival. Many visitors came from afar, some in pairs, some in groups, and some alone.
The one hosting this flower-viewing party was Ximen Qiusi, the city lord of Xiucheng. Strangely enough, this man had no cultivation whatsoever, yet he became the city lord of Xiucheng. Moreover, the leaders of most sects and cultivators in the martial arts world were willing to obey his orders, demonstrating that he was no ordinary person. It could be said that he possessed both wealth and power. His mansion had thousands of servants, and in addition, he secretly cultivated a group of top-tier assassins who obeyed only him.
Therefore, the flower-viewing festival held once every ten years was naturally held at his residence.
Today, the Ximen mansion was brightly decorated and bustling with activity. Every servant in the Ximen household wore a beaming smile. Because so many people came to admire the flowers that the mansion was practically deserted, the servants were all eager to welcome them.
Behind the West Gate lies the vast garden, filled with a refreshing fragrance, tinged with a faint sweetness. As far as the eye can see, clusters of flowers bloom in vibrant colors—red like fire, pink like the sunset, white like snow, blue like the sea… some with names, some without, all vying for attention, blooming in a dazzling display.
In that vast lotus pond, red, white, and blue lotuses of different colors bloomed in a chaotic yet beautiful display, creating a picturesque scene on the water. Even the willows along the pond's edge were covered with clumps of white catkins, like handfuls of white feather dusters hanging upside down.
It's the height of summer, and flowers that shouldn't be blooming at this time of year seem to be bursting into vibrant colors and vying for attention for this once-in-a-decade flower-viewing event—truly a strange sight!
Wow...Miss, you're so beautiful!
A maidservant, her eyes darting about, walked ahead of a young girl in a fiery red dress, pointing excitedly at the colorful flowers in the garden.
