Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 569: The Dark Xu Huang
Xu Huang turned around and said to the soldier, "Go and take that singing girl with you and have her help Yuan Shang wash up. Remember, after you take him to his room, make sure to evacuate everyone else."

The subordinate took the order and left quickly.

Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go, you and I will go and greet Mr. Shen Pei."

Xu Huang and Qian Zhao walked out of the stronghold together. When they saw Shen Pei, they bowed from a distance.

"We didn't expect Mr. Shen Pei to come. We are sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive us. Mr. Shen, please come in and talk."

Seeing these two people welcoming him with smiles, Shen Pei had a stern face: "Humph, where is my master? Take me to see him."

When Xu Huang and Qian Zhao saw his expression and tone, they felt something was wrong.

Qian Zhao asked, "The Third Young Master is a distinguished guest, how dare we treat him lightly? The weather is cold now, so you should rest inside. I wonder why you are so anxious that you came up the mountain in person. What is the important matter?"

Shen Pei glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Of course I have something important to report, but you are not allowed to ask. Take me to see him immediately."

Seeing this, Qian Zhao suddenly became murderous. He secretly glanced at Xu Huang and gave him a look, but Xu Huang shook his head slightly.

Shen Pei shouted, "What? Are you guys not going to let me see the Master?"

Xu Huang apologized with a smile, "Sir, you worry too much. Since you have something important to do, I will lead the way. Please follow me."

He made a "please" gesture, and Shen Pei walked into the mountain stronghold without any hesitation.

The two men took him through the mountain village, and finally arrived at the gate of a courtyard that looked quite elegant.

Xu Huang pointed inside and said, "This courtyard was built by the two of us specifically for you. Our Baibo Army and your army are allies, and you and I are under the care of the Third Young Master. It's rare for him to come up the mountain, so you and I will serve him attentively."

Shen Pei was too lazy to listen to his words and was about to walk in.

"Hey, wait a minute." Xu Huang stopped him.

"What? Why are you stopping me? Are you doing something shameful?" Shen Pei immediately drew his sword and glared at him.

Xu Huang glanced at his sword and laughed, "Sir, you worry too much. If I really want to harm you, let alone you, even if you bring tens of thousands of soldiers, how can I make you come back without returning?"

Shen Pei then put away his sword and said, "Humph, I don't think you would dare."

Qian Zhao tried to smooth things over: "Sir, calm down. It's not that I don't want you to see the young master, but the young master is... enjoying himself right now. If you barge in like this, I'm afraid..."

"Hmm?" Shen Pei could of course understand what he meant by "enjoy pleasure", and his face changed immediately.

"You two actually used such despicable means to seduce my young master to indulge in pleasure, what is your intention?"

The two cried out in injustice: "Sir, you have wronged me and my brothers. We are just trying to be courteous. Moreover, it is such a cold winter, and you have taken the initiative to ask us to do this. If we don't agree, wouldn't it be petty?"

Shen Pei probably also thought of some of Yuan Shang's private practices, and could not seem to think of any reason to refute their words.

"Humph, I'll settle accounts with you later. Get out of my way."

He stretched out his hand to push the two men away, but Xu Huang and Qian Zhao were both veterans of the battlefield and practiced martial arts day and night, so there was no way he could push them away.
Qian Zhao said with embarrassment: "Sir, how about letting me go in and report something?"

"What are you reporting? If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude!"

Qian Zhao suddenly shouted, "Don't do this, sir. You can't disturb the young master. If you do, my brother will die in vain..."

The two men intentionally or unintentionally made way for him, but Shen Pei didn't care about anything else and ran in hurriedly.

Yuan Shang, who was in the house, heard the noise in the yard outside and was very dissatisfied.

"What's going on? Who's making noise outside?"

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open with a bang, and a figure flashed in.

"what……"

A woman next to Yuan Shang suddenly screamed and quickly pulled the quilt to cover herself.

Yuan Shang drank a lot of wine last night and just woke up, feeling dizzy. Just now, someone unexpectedly sent over a singer that he had taken a fancy to last night. The singer was very gentle. She helped him wash and brush his teeth, and also massaged him, making him feel very comfortable.

He was very satisfied with the arrangement of Xu Huang and Qian Zhao, and immediately pounced on the woman. When the two were about to make love, this incident happened, which completely ignited Yuan Shang's anger.

"Which blind bastard dares to trespass into my house? Do you want to die?"

"Third Young Master, it's me. How could you...how could you...ah..."

Shen Pei was very sad when he saw this scene.

"Hmm? Zhengnan, why is it you?"

Only then did Yuan Shang see the other person's face clearly. He was very surprised and his anger disappeared instantly.

Shen Pei turned his head away, not daring to look at the scene in front of him: "Third Young Master is a man who wants to accomplish great things, how can you indulge in sensual pleasures in this bandit's den? Moreover, it is already noon, and it is the right time for you to study and practice martial arts, how can you... Oh, it is simply inappropriate." "Hey, Zhengnan, you are too serious. The saints also said that food and sex are human nature. If you had not experienced such happy things, how could you have so many descendants? Why are you so angry?"

"Third Young Master, you...you..." Shen Pei was so angry at Yuan Shang's words that he was speechless for a while.

"Alright, alright. You have come a long way and the mountain road is difficult to walk on. I am sure it must be very tiring. If you have anything to say, we can talk later. Please leave now."

Yuan Shang waved his hand and ordered them to leave.

At this time, Xu Huang and Qian Zhao also rushed over, and both looked apologetic to Yuan Shang.

"Sir, Mr. Shen Pei insisted on breaking in, and my brothers couldn't stop him. Please forgive me."

After saying that, the two looked at Shen Pei and said, "Sir, the young master is resting. Please move to the side hall. My brother has a gift for you."

"Bah!" Shen Pei spat at them both.

"How dare you, you treacherous villain, disrupt my master's mind!"

Yuan Shang's face darkened again. "Is Zhengnan too presumptuous? Gongming and Zijing are my allies in Jizhou. They have been extremely polite to my father, me, and you. You responded in this way. Is this the way the saints taught you to deal with things? Why don't you apologize to the two generals?"

Shen Pei's face was filled with shock and disappointment. He stared at Yuan Shang for a long time before speaking: "Third Master, right now is the time when the lord is about to accomplish great things. The lord sent you here to discuss the war next year. How can you be so foolish that you forget about the important things and only care about having fun?"

Qian Zhao hurriedly said, "If it is because of this, then you have wrongly blamed me. When I first came here, I was so busy with my official duties that I lost my appetite and was exhausted. Now that the official business has been settled and there is nothing else to do, why not relax for a few days?"

"You..." Shen Pei felt so angry after hearing these words that he wanted to expose the conspiracy of these two people in front of Yuan Shang immediately. However, the little bit of rationality he had left told him that he could not do so. Otherwise, not only would the counterattack plan fail, but he and Yuan Shang would also likely die here.

Yuan Shang heard Qian Zhao explain for him, and immediately became more confident: "Yes, I have already completed the important matter and reported it to my father. Zhengnan went up the mountain to confront me for such a small matter. Could it be that he has no idea about the relationship between master and servant because of his high achievements and high status?"

The singer next to her trembled when she saw the tense situation: "Sir, I... I am so scared..."

When Yuan Shang heard the voice, he felt weak all over, while Shen Pei, who was standing beside him, was immediately furious.

"How dare you, a lowly creature of the dusty world, to seduce my master? You shall be beheaded!"

With a "clang" sound, the sword was unsheathed and stabbed towards the singer.

"Ah..." The singer was so frightened that her face turned pale. Yuan Shang had not expected this at all and was unable to react for a moment.

"Sir, stop it!"

A loud shout was heard, followed by a "clang" sound, and Shen Pei's sword was knocked aside.

Xu Huang put away his sword and bowed: "Please forgive me, Mr. Shen Pei. I was in a hurry and had to take action. Please don't blame me."

"Get lost!" Shen Pei was not grateful at all: "The lord entrusted the third son to you two, but you let him not think about making progress and indulge in pleasure all day long. If it weren't for... if it weren't for the big plan now, Shen would have killed him without mercy!"

He turned his head and looked at Yuan Shang: "Third Master, I am here to discuss something extremely important with you. This matter is extremely urgent. I only want to ask you one question: will you obey me or not?"

"Shen Pei, you are so outrageous!"

Yuan Shang had long been furious at Shen Pei's behavior, and hearing his impolite tone at this moment only added fuel to the fire.

He grabbed a large brocade robe beside the bed, put it on, stepped off the bed, and stared at Shen Pei with bloodshot eyes.

"You, get out of here right now!"

Shen Pei's face was filled with sadness and disappointment: "My lord, you..."

"Get out!"

Qian Zhao and Xu Huang also came over to pull him back: "Sir, the young master is very angry, you should leave first. When the dinner comes, you can toast to the young master and apologize a few words. It won't be too late to talk about the important matter later."

"Yes, my brother has offended you today, and I will apologize to you when the time comes."

Shen Pei ignored the two of them and kept staring at Yuan Shang. However, Yuan Shang showed no intention of changing his attitude.

"Hehe...hehe...hahaha..."

He suddenly raised his head and laughed sadly, then staggered back a few steps.

"I originally thought that the Third Young Master was smart and wise, and that he would be a great talent in the future. That's why I tried my best to support you and make you the successor of the master. I never expected that you would be such a fool. If the master's foundation is really entrusted to you in the future, wouldn't it ruin the wisdom of the Yuan family for generations? Well, I, Shen Pei, was blind in the past. Goodbye!"

He bowed and then left without looking back.

Yuan Shang was so angry after hearing his words that the hair on his body almost stood up.

"Get out! Get out now! Traitor, traitor, don't let me see you again, get out!"
