Returning to the One Ridge Hall, Susu saw his sad face and comforted him, "I'll go to the kitchen and try to make a fish for my uncle."

Liu Xiaolou went to bed holding his head and got into bed. "I'm counting on you all, Susu."

Susu left Qingyu Furong Garden and came to the large kitchen outside the Gua Lu Hall. The kitchen was smoky and steaming. She found the steward in charge of the kitchen and said, "Old Madam Song, is there any Golden Whisker Dragon Carp in the kitchen?"

Old Madam Song asked, "Does Fifth Lady want to use it?"

Susu said, "It's my uncle."

Old Madam Song couldn't help but laugh, "Uncle, go and reply to me. There are no dragons and carps this month. Let's wait until next month."

Susu said again, "What about Ao Shrimp?"

Old Madam Song said, "No more."

Susu said, "Yesterday I saw a bunch of Ao Shrimp caught in the back mountain. There were more than a dozen of them. Why are they gone?"

Old Madam Song put her hands on her hips and said, "My good girl, there are only thirteen of them. Today Ninth Mistress is going back to the mountain. Eldest Young Master will hold a banquet. Nine of them will be used. Who dares to use the rest without waiting for the master to say anything? Let me wait until next month."

With a smile on his face, Susu held Old Madam Song's hand. "Auntie, if I go back empty-handed, my uncle should blame me."

Old Madam Song said with a sneer, "How dare he? If he were to be my aunt, how dare he say half a word about you Susu, and still want to eat and drink well in the future? Doesn't he understand his identity?"

Susu took Old Madam Song's hand and shook it gently. "Auntie, my uncle is still very good. If he doesn't talk about me, just help me once."

Old Madam Song sighed, "Well, for the sake of you, girl Susu, I will give him a pair of Ao Shrimp. I won't do it again."

After Susu left, Old Madam Song looked at the small gold ingot in his palm, grinned, and put it in his arms.

In the evening, a pair of Ao Shrimp were delivered to the One Ridge Hall. Susu personally steamed them in a small pot, served them with two large bowls of spiritual rice, and brought them in for Liu Xiaolou. Along the way, there was also a small pot of Osmanthus Fragrance, which made Liu Xiaolou feel comfortable eating.

It took one night to transform the spiritual power of Ao Shrimp, Lingmi and Osmanthus Fragrance Spirit Wine. Liu Xiaolou was waiting for Su Jiuniang's call. In the meantime, Susu was asked to find out when the monthly spiritual stones would be spent. Susu went to the accounting office and came back and said, "It will be three days. Are you in a hurry to use the spiritual stones? I still have three pieces here, can I help my uncle in an emergency?"

Liu Xiaolou didn't have a single spiritual stone on his body. Although he was very eager for it, he still had a certain bottom line, so he declined Susu's kindness. Wait, it only lasts three days. Master Dao once lived without a spiritual stone for several months. Didn't he get through it?

In the evening, Su Jiuniang's maid Xiao Qin came. Liu Xiaolou spoke to Susu and followed Xiao Qin to the Cloud Sea Pavilion. Cloud Sea Pavilion is the residence of Su Jiuniang, located on a high peak of Shenwu Mountain. According to Xiao Qin, you can see the sea of clouds here after Shenwu Mountain rains.

Liu Xiaolou had never been to the Cloud Sea Pavilion before. I followed Xiao Qin to climb the mountain and found that the terrain was really steep, but I felt a little sorry that I couldn't see the scenery in the night.

While climbing the mountain, Liu Xiaolou took the opportunity to ask, "Miss Xiao Qin, I have something that is inconvenient."

Xiao Qin said, "Fifth Son-in-law please tell me."

Liu Xiaolou asked, "Your lady, Ninth Mistress, why do you ask me to turn around when you see me?"

Xiao Qin immediately covered his mouth and said happily, "Well, Fifth Son-in-law, maybe you should ask my lady personally."

Liu Xiaolou sighed, "Young lady is very powerful, how dare I ask. Miss Xiao Qin, do me a favor and tell me, what did I do wrong, please pay attention next time. Miss helped me this time, if I can be useful next time Liu Xiaolou, I will go through fire and water, no matter what!"

Please visit the latest address Xiao Qin thought for a while and replied, "I'm just guessing, I can't take it seriously. Maybe you look like someone, well, just from the profile."

This answer was really surprising. Liu Xiaolou was stunned and asked, "Who does it look like?"

Xiao Qin said, "Young Master Jing Zhao, Qingyu Sect is the one ranked third in the inner door."

Liu Xiaolou said angrily, "What do I mean, it took me a long time to do it because it looks similar to someone else? Is there anything strange about this Jing Zhao that made me suspicious this day?"

Xiao Qin curled his lips and said, "Young Master Jing Zhao is extremely talented. He just turned twenty-five last year and he broke through the golden elixir in Wulong Mountain. He is Qingyu Sect is a rare figure in a century. It is said that Qingyu Sect will flourish in the next few decades, so be satisfied if Fifth Son-in-law can look like him!"

Liu Xiaolou asked, "Is it Ninth Mistress versus Young Master Jing Zhao?"

Xiao Qin pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't talk nonsense. By the way, don't say I told you. It's all my own guesses. I can't count them. I don't recognize them even if they are told."

Liu Xiaolou said hurriedly, "Don't worry, my mouth is absolutely perfect! Thank you very much, Miss Xiao Qin. If you need help with anything in the future, please speak!"

Xiao Qin shook his head in disdain. "What can happen?"

Because it is built on a cliff, there is not much open space, so Cloud Sea Pavilion is not big, with only five rooms in the front and back.

Entering the courtyard, Su Jiuniang had been waiting for a long time and told Xiao Qin: "Change his clothes."

So Liu Xiaolou was taken to the side room by Xiao Qin for a lot of tossing. Not only did the clothes he wore outside changed, but his bun was untied and re-knotted, and his whole appearance changed.

Su Jiuniang watched the whole process of cleaning up, and gave some pointers from time to time. After she was done, she looked up and down, left and right, and looked around for a long time. Then she suddenly sighed and said, "Let's go."

He also ordered Xiao Qin: "Tomorrow you go to Qingyu Furong Garden and keep an eye on him. If anyone asks, just say he is here with me. If no one asks, don't say anything."

Liu Xiaolou Hutu followed Su Jiuniang and left Cloud Sea Pavilion. They went down the other side of the mountain and soon came out of the Shenwu Villa.

Liu Xiaolou reminded her, "Ninth Mistress, if you go far, should you say something to Fifth Lady?"

Su Jiuniang said, "Fifth sister won't ask you, and I'm afraid no one in Zhuangzi will ask where you are. Don't worry, even if someone asks, didn't I tell Xiao Qin to Furong Garden to keep an eye on you?"

Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but said, "Are you really going to travel far away? Ninth Mistress, can you tell me what is going on, so that I can prepare in advance?"

Su Jiuniang said, "Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, don't talk too much!"

Liu Xiaolou didn't dare to say anything anymore. He followed Su Jiuniang and walked forward in the night, trying to figure out the direction, but he was heading west, not knowing where he was going.

When it was daybreak, he rested for a while in the mountains. Su Jiuniang stretched out his hand on his sleeves and took out a pot of water and a plate of cakes. Liu Xiaolou was very envious. "Ninth Mistress, are you taking this out of the storage artifact?"

Ninth Mistress glanced at him and didn't answer. He just urged, "Use it quickly, and continue on your way after using it."

In the afternoon, after traveling more than 150 miles to the west, a market town appeared in front of us. Ninth Mistress stopped again and said to Liu Xiaolou, "We're here."

Liu Xiaolou asked, "Where is this?"

Ninth Mistress looked at the market town and answered, "Xikou."
