“Mother misunderstood.” Tang Luo laughed lightly, “I went to the Secret Arts Pavilion today to resign from my position as clan elder. Think about it, if I didn’t want to, who could rip off my clan robe!”

There are two types of clan elders in the Tang Family. One are formidable warriors who have made significant contributions, and the other is researchers such as members of the Secret Arts Pavilion, physicians of the Medicine Hall, master blacksmiths of the smelting room, senior craftsman from the Machine Tower, array masters of the Scripture Hall, etc.

The status of a clan elder is the pinnacle within the family, but this pinnacle status is accompanied by top-level obligations. Apart from the comfortable members of the Secret Art Pavilion, the rest of the elders of the Tang Clan are workaholics dedicated to their research, striving constantly for results to maintain their elder status.

However, after Tang Luo set the rules for the Secret Arts Pavilion, the most comfortable branch of the Tang Clan turned into a Purgatory, where every researcher of martial arts in the Secret Arts Pavilion worked desperately.

Tang Luo should have been one of them, but after his plan to becstronger was upgraded, it meant that he would no longer take the tto study Spirit Arts, which also meant that the status of a clan elder in the Secret Arts Pavilion was no longer an honor he could bear, but a behavior of faltering without action. If he continued to retain that status, he would be slapping his own face, so it was only right to resign from the position of clan elder.

Looking at him talking so lightly, Xu Shuhui was somewhat incredulous:

“You’d better not lie to me.”

“Mother, how could I lie to you-” Tang Luo laughed and said, “Because I need to begin a long-term seclusion soon, and I have no tto study Spirit Arts. Keeping a clan elder’s title vacant will only create unnecessary gossip, it’s better to resign.”

“Seclusion? Why seclude, how long?” Xu Shuhui was so engrossed in the word “seclusion” that she didn’t hear what Tang Luo said after that, and kept asking. Just by looking at Xu Shuhui’s anxious look, you would know how reluctant she was. The two brothers had just cout of the Minor Spiritual Realm. The younger brother was recalled to the Martial Hall within half a day of returning, while the older one was a bit more free. But now he said he wanted to enter seclusion.

I knew this would happen!

Tang Luo thought to himself, and pulled out a relaxed face, “Mother, do not worry. The seclusion I’m entering is not unreachable. As long as mother sends someone to notify, I can exit the seclusion and chat any time!” After hearing his answer, Xu Shuhui faintly felt that something was not right, but she couldn’t pinpoint it. In the end, she could only nod and say, “Alright ’ then.”

Mother being so agreeable is so delightful, and Tang Luo continued, “But I need mother to helpwith something.”

Hmm?” Xu Shuhui’s eyebrows raised, she was surprised and delighted, because this was the first tsince childhood that her elder son had asked her to help him.

Tang Luo smiled and said, “Mother should have father’s token, right? Could you go to the clan’s office and apply for a seclusion place for me? I can’t use my contributions anymore.”

“When do you want to use it?”

“After four days.”

This was the reason he cto get his mother’s agreement. Because his clan elder status was revoked, he lost sof his privileges, including the privilege to apply for the seclusion room. Although he had a large amount of contributions, without privileges, he was at a disadvantage. So, he could only ask his family for help.

Early June,

Refined Mansion

Mi Bai rented two connecting rooms, one large and one small.

The larger one was bustling with noise, filled with those little darlings, while the smaller one only contained Tang Luo, Old Master Xu, and himself.

As a popular painting stall owner in Xiling, his calligraphy had risen in price from half a gold coin to five gold coins each. It wasn’t that Mi Bai was raising the price after becoming famous, but he used better quality paper to ensure the longevity of the calligraphy and paintings and had to raise the price.

In Old Master Xu’s view, five gold coins for a piece of calligraphy or painting was still a bargain price, and Mi Bai was content. He only made a hundred pieces a day and stopped when they sold out. Even so, his daily incwas above 200 gold coins, which even exceeded the incof an average metamorphic warrior. So when Old Master Xu heard that Mi Bai was organizing a banquet to bid farewell, he didn’t have any financial burden, in fact, he made a lot of requests.

Old Bai, no more Bamboo Leaf Green Wine, bring on sstrong liquor!” Old Master Xu excitedly said, “I’m leaving tomorrow, tonight we must get drunk or never return. It’s a pity that Brother Ji didn’t come, otherwise it would have been even better!”

At this point he was somewhat regretful, originally he had invited Ji Fu, but as soon as he heard that Tang Luo was here, he declined, saying that he needed to prepare to suppress the blood spirit and he didn’t have time.

Tang Luo didn’t feel any regret for Ji Fu’s absence, but he disagreed with Old Master Xu’s taste, “Just order the Bamboo Leaf Green Wine, if you want to drink strong liquor, don’t dragand Old Bai into it!”

“Wow! Little brother, you’re wrong. This tribute is for my farewell, shouldn’t we listen to me?” Old Master Xu proudly waved his finger in front of Tang Luo’s face.

Old Master Xu always thought that Tang Luo had a poor tolerance for alcohol, but also found his drunk state to be hilarious. However, Tang Luo was always very busy, and he never had the opportunity to drink with him again. Tomorrow he would be leaving, he had to seize this opportunity.

“Heh-” Tang Luo put on a contemptuous smile, Old Master Xu’s little trick could never fool him. But he had already opened his Divine Storage within him, revealing the Void Stomach.

Although he used to have a low tolerance for alcohol, but now, if he really wanted to see who could drink more, sorry, he could be called the ultimate drinker!

Then bring the strong liquor, we won’t return until we’re drunk-” The ultimate drinker accepted the challenge.

Mi Bai originally wanted to persuade them, but seeing that Tang Luo had already accepted, he could only give a bitter smile and say, “Then I can only risk my life to accompany you fine gentlemen!”

Seeing the two accepted his suggestion, Old Master Xu was particularly excited, stood up and asked the waitress, “What is the strongest liquor you have?”

The waitress who had been waiting by the door looked troubled, “To answer the young master, the strongest liquor in our shop is the Bamboo Leaf Green Wine.”

You must be kidding!” Old Master Xu was taken aback. He felt the waitress wasn’t just brushing him off. Hence, it began to seem strange, “I’ve drank this wine before, it has a subtle and sweet taste, it must belong to the category of mild liquor!”

“To answer the young master’s question,” the waitress said softly, “Although the Bamboo Leaf Green Wine has a sweet and smooth taste, it’s aftereffect is very strong. It’s even stronger than ordinary strong liquor. The young master didn’t notice it because he drank few, or his tolerance for alcohol is quite good.” Upon hearing the waitress’s words, Tang Luo finally understood why he had drunk himself into such a state last time. It turned out that the gentle and sweet Bamboo Leaf Green Wine has such a strong aftertaste, he even thought it was a mild liquor and drank more than half a bottle.

But he really liked the taste of this wine. Now that he had the Void Stomach, he should savor it thoroughly.

After hearing the waitress’s explanation, Old Master Xu seemed to recall that day on Red Cloud Mountain, he only drank a few small cups. With his tolerance, it was no wonder he didn’t feel anything.

“Then bring a few more pots-” Old Master Xu said casually, waving his hand. Now Mi Bai is a little wealthy man who made a lot of money in a day, he wouldn’t fuss over several pots of good wine.

The waitress smiled sweetly at Old Master Xu, “Okay, young master-“
