When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

"Young Master?" Su Xin called softly when she noticed Lin Xuan staring at her. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Lin Xuan did not answer, but silently looked at Su Xin for a while, confirming that she was indeed the Thirteenth Prince's Consort.

It's unbelievable that the thirteenth prince, Xiao Ke, works for the Heavenly Fire Palace, while his wife is a courtesan at the Wanxiang Pavilion.

"Ah! Ah!!"

Suddenly, Xun Fu's screams rang out from the private room; the sound was extremely horrific.

Su Xin was taken aback and asked, "What's going on inside?"

Lin Xuan didn't answer. He pushed open the door and entered. He saw Xun Fu rushing towards him in a state of extreme shock. He then rushed out of the private room and fled Wanxianglou without looking back.

Ouyang Chengdu looked completely bewildered.

Lin Xuan said, "Master Ouyang, are you in a hurry?"

Ouyang Chengdu coughed lightly, pretending nothing had happened, and said, "Young Master Lin, please sit down. Suxin, come here."

Su Xin walked to Ouyang Chengdu's side, confused.

"Take a look at these five bottles of pills and see how they are of quality," Ouyang Chengdu said.

Su Xin bowed slightly, took the porcelain bottle, and examined it one by one.

"Master, these five bottles of pills are all of grade two quality. However, these are pills for soul cultivators, so they are not widely available in Qingzhou," Su Xin replied.

Ouyang Chengdu said, "That's alright. As long as the quality is good, there will be no shortage of buyers."

He then said to Lin Xuan, "Young Master Lin, I will help you sell these pills. According to the rules of Wanxiang Pavilion, we will take 20% of the profits. What do you think?"

Lin Xuan asked, "It would be good if they could be sold. How long will it take?"

Ouyang Chengdu said, "I have several soul cultivators among my clients. Contacting them is not difficult, and if all goes well, the transaction can be completed within a week."

Lin Xuan nodded. A week was reasonable, but he still told Ouyang Chengdu, "Try to hurry."

Ouyang Chengdu asked, "Does Young Master Lin need money?"

Lin Xuan said, "You know my situation, so there's no need to ask this question."

Ouyang Chengdu smiled and said, "That's true. If Young Master Lin urgently needs money, Wanxianglou also provides loan services with an interest rate of 18%. Young Master Lin can consider it."

Lin Xuan said, "That's not necessary. I don't particularly need money; I just need pills, pills for martial arts practitioners."

Ouyang Chengdu replied, "Understood. I can also keep an eye out for news in this area for you. If there are suitable sellers offering martial arts pills, I will inform Prince Lin."

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Thank you."

Ouyang Chengdu smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Lin, you are too kind, but..."

Seeing Ouyang Chengdu's troubled expression, Lin Xuan guessed what he was thinking and said, "Don't worry, Master Ouyang, I will speak to Xun Fu."

"Yes, thank you. I hope Young Master Lin will apologize to Young Master Xun on my behalf. Chengdu was too abrupt and frightened Young Master Xun," Ouyang Chengdu said.

Lin Xuan clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes, I will. Farewell."

Ouyang Chengdu nodded and said to Su Xin, "Su Xin, go and see off Prince Lin."

Su Xin nodded and left the private room with Lin Xuan, but they did not return the way they came.

Lin Xuan asked curiously, "Where are we going?"

Su Xin said, "There is a private passage for guests here; it's too noisy downstairs."

"Moreover, as the most beautiful courtesan, I cannot easily show myself in front of those guests."

Lin Xuan smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

After leaving Wanxianglou, Suxin stood at the door, bowed to Lin Xuan, and said, "Young Master Lin, please take care."

Lin Xuan nodded, and after taking a few steps, he looked back at Su Xin.

Su Xin smiled faintly and asked politely, "Is there anything else, Young Master Lin?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said meaningfully, "I hope that when we meet again next time, it won't be at Wanxianglou."

Su Xin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "If there's an opportunity."

"There will be an opportunity," Lin Xuan said, then turned and left.

As Su Xin watched Lin Xuan's retreating figure, a hint of caution and suspicion slowly surfaced in her eyes.

After leaving Wanxianglou, Lin Xuan did not go directly back to the Lin residence. Instead, he turned left and right and entered a secluded alley where few people went.

Lin Xuan stopped only when they reached a dead end and asked, "Aren't you tired after chasing me for so long?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several assassins dressed in black emerged from the shadows.

"Since you discovered us so early, why didn't you escape instead of coming to a dead end and courting death?"

Lin Xuan turned around, looked at the five black-clad assassins behind him, and said with a smile, "Because I want to test just how magical that spirit wine really is."

"Looks like he's drunk too much and gone mad."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Stop talking nonsense, kill him, and take his head to collect the reward!"

Five assassins rushed toward Lin Xuan, attacking him from all sides.

Lin Xuan neither dodged nor evaded. Facing the assassins attacking from all angles, he activated his internal energy, leaped into the air, and slammed his fist into the ground.

Boom!

The second level of the Heaven-Suppressing Technique instantly generated the power of two dragons and two elephants.

The power of the dragon and elephant poured into the ground, and the ground instantly became like a raging sea, spreading the force in all directions.

The five assassins were shaken by the power of the dragon and elephant, and in their panic, they stopped advancing and quickly retreated.

"Damn, late-stage Spirit Profound Realm?!"

"What's going on? Wasn't it said this kid was at most in the early stage of the Spirit Profound Realm? How did he become in the late stage of the Spirit Profound Realm?"

The five assassins exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Xuan looked at his fist and sighed inwardly: Ouyang Chengdu's spirit wine is indeed magical. Just by drinking one bowl, my cultivation level instantly advanced from the early stage of the Spirit Profound Realm to the late stage of the Spirit Profound Realm.

"Hmph! So what if you're in the late stage of the Spirit Profound Realm? The five of us are all in the late stage of the Spirit Profound Realm!"

"Yes, we have the numerical advantage, so what's there to fear?"

"kill!"

The five assassins charged at Lin Xuan again.

Facing the attack from the five, Lin Xuan smiled disdainfully and said, "Does having more people make a difference? No matter how much trash there is, it's still trash."

Having said that, Lin Xuan circulated his inner energy, exerted force with his feet, shattered the stone slabs, and charged towards the assassin who was charging towards him.

"court death!"

The assassin drew his sword and stabbed at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan, however, gripped the blade with one hand and, with the power of the dragon and elephant, tore it to pieces.

"What?!"

The assassin was taken aback.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xuan appeared in front of the assassin. Before the assassin could react, Lin Xuan struck the assassin's chest with a palm.

Punch the surface, strike the inside with your palm.

The power of two dragons and two elephants contained in this palm strike directly shattered the opponent's internal organs into a pulp.

"puff!"

The other person spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

Lin Xuan didn't stop. He suddenly turned around and threw the shards of the blade in his hand away.

The other four assassins were caught off guard and hurriedly defended themselves, but they were still hit.

One died on the spot, one was incapacitated, and two others only suffered minor abrasions.

Lin Xuan looked at the remaining three assassins and said, "Although we are of the same cultivation level, your combat experience is far inferior to mine; we are not even in the same league."

Lin Xuan shook his head and looked down at them.

"If you want to beat me, you'd better be at least a whole level higher than me in terms of cultivation."

He walked step by step toward the incapacitated assassin and said, "Who sent you to kill me? Nalan Xiao, Xiao Zhan, Yun Zhenting, or the Heavenly Fire Hall, the Bright Soul Sect?"
