A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 95: Poison Scripture

“Hey yo.”

Uncle sweeping the floor followed Li Xuanxiao’s suggestion and helped him set up formation bases on Silver Sword Peak.

Defensive formation, isolating formation, illusion formation... Why is this kid setting up so many formations?

Uncle sweeping the floor looked at the blueprints Li Xuanxiao handed him, furrowed his brows, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

But he still had to maintain the dignity of a senior.

“I specialize in formations—across the world, I can crack eight different types.”

He mumbled while studying the blueprints carefully.

Hmm... can’t understand it.

Young people these days are getting harder and harder to deal with.

“This formation is too much trouble, and I’m not really good at formations. Actually, I’m better at something else.”

Yeah, I can tell—you like to tell little fibs.

Li Xuanxiao said, “Senior, no need to worry. I may not be talented, but I do have some knowledge of formation-setting.

It’s just that my own strength is weak, so I can’t fully bring out the power of this formation.

So, let me handle the formation work. Elder, you just need to assist me with your cultivation.”

Uncle sweeping the floor nodded. That’s more like it.

“I’ll help you with the formation, but you’re not allowed to get close to my woman again.”

Li Xuanxiao said, “Senior, don’t worry. I have no ill intent toward the canteen aunt. She just looks kind and reminds me of my mother.”

“Mm, very good.”

So in the days that followed, Uncle sweeping the floor often came to Silver Sword Peak.

Gotta say, with his help, a lot of flaws in Li Xuanxiao’s formations were resolved.

Li Xuanxiao’s formations were exquisite, but if he encountered someone too powerful,

the formation would lose its deterrent and could be broken directly.

No matter how clever a formation is, in the face of overwhelming strength, it’s just a flower in the water, the moon in the mirror.

But with Uncle sweeping the floor’s help, Li Xuanxiao could now handle more complex scenarios.

“This fruit makes people pregnant—doesn’t matter if you’re male or female, you’ll get pregnant if you eat it.

I ground it into powder. Just inhaling a bit won’t make you pregnant, but it’ll cause unbearable stomach pain.”

“This one’s poison. It’ll make male cultivators never be able to get it up again...”

“This move is brutal—any man would be scared.”

“This poison is nasty. To detox, you have to cut off your own... makes it a tough call.”

“.........”

“This kid is dark, real dark. How did a righteous sect like Mount Shushan produce someone like him?” Uncle sweeping the floor muttered.

Poison?

Uncle sweeping the floor looked at the Poison Scripture in Li Xuanxiao’s hand and suddenly remembered.

“You only have half of this Poison Scripture. Where’s the other half?”

Li Xuanxiao said, “I got this Poison Scripture by accident while traveling with the Old Sect Leader. Only found half of it—the rest I recreated from scratch.

Elder, you’ve read the second half before?”

“Yeah, but that was back in the day. I saw the second half in a desert.”

“Which desert?”

Uncle sweeping the floor said, “Thousand Lakes Desert!”

The Poison Scripture in Li Xuanxiao’s hands was written by a mysterious poison master—basically their life’s work.

Back then, Li Xuanxiao was only seven. While traveling with the old man, the guy tossed the half-scroll Poison Scripture at him, obtained by accident.

That’s when Li Xuanxiao stepped onto the path of no return.

Too bad it was only half.

Since then, he’d studied that half inside out, always looking for the second half.

But he’d never found any clues—until now.

Still, Li Xuanxiao didn’t let the news go to his head.

He’d only just started interacting with Uncle sweeping the floor—not much trust yet.

Could be a trap to lure him out of Mount Shushan...

So in the days that followed, Li Xuanxiao focused on investigating Uncle sweeping the floor.

Uncle sweeping the floor was walking toward Menial Peak, drinking and letting out a sigh.

“An old man like me, falling in love again, it’s not easy, you know. At this age, still out here working for others.

And this disciple named Li Xuanxiao, why does it feel like he’s got a screw loose?

Oh yeah, I once caught him sneaking into someone else’s cave dwelling... thought he had some weird kink.”

Uncle sweeping the floor’s cave dwelling was extremely basic—just a straw mat and a torn quilt.

But of course, there was more than met the eye.

Inside the hidden space, he lay on his jade bed, still mumbling.

“He actually likes installing Twin Recording Stones in other people’s cave dwellings. This kid’s nasty. But honestly, those people had zero awareness.

These juniors really have no sense of danger. Back in our day, cultivation was full of danger—we slept with one eye open...”

Inside the straw hut.

Li Xuanxiao watched Uncle sweeping the floor through the Twin Recording Stone, jotting down notes in his little notebook.

Overall evaluation.

Hmm, danger level not high.

Trustworthy.

But just to be safe, still needs a bit more observation.

Of course, just a little more time should do it.

...........

Two years later.

Li Xuanxiao finally made the decision to set out in search of the Poison Scripture.

Over these two years, Uncle sweeping the floor had passed every test Li Xuanxiao threw at him, earning his trust.

Naturally, Li Xuanxiao wasn’t the type to forget kindness without repaying it.

Before heading out to find the Poison Scripture, Li Xuanxiao planned to build an extra hot spring at Menial Peak.

The canteen aunt loved hot springs, but Mount Shushan only had one at Tongtian Peak—it was a real hassle for her to get there from Menial Peak.

So Li Xuanxiao decided to set one up near Uncle sweeping the floor’s cave dwelling, so the canteen aunt and Uncle sweeping the floor could soak in it every day—might help spark something between them.

Li Xuanxiao took charge of the hot spring project at Menial Peak.

He found the underground cavity, opened the spring source, and installed his custom-made miniature filter...

The water ran through fire-attributed ley lines, so it was naturally heated.

He built wooden steps and a gazebo around the spring, and planted a bamboo grove.

Then he tossed in spirit beads to make the spring glow gently, filled with spiritual energy.

He arranged exotic rocks along the banks—all personally moved by Uncle sweeping the floor, one by one.

Transplanted some flowers and plants...

By the time everything was done, three months had passed.

Uncle sweeping the floor stared in surprise at the hot spring before him.

This little hot spring’s enough to charm the pants off any girl!

Li Xuanxiao handed him a blueprint.

Uncle sweeping the floor looked confused—what’s this?

“These are technical terms. If the canteen aunt asks how the hot spring was built, you can use these to explain. She’ll definitely admire you for it.”

Uncle sweeping the floor gave Li Xuanxiao a firm pat on the shoulder. “Good kid!”

.........

A few days later, Li Xuanxiao finally decided to set off in search of the Poison Scripture.

He had already sent out clones to scout out a safe route ahead of time, plus two backup paths.

Heading into the desert was a big deal.

Before leaving, Li Xuanxiao summoned his two junior sisters, Zhao Lu and Feng Liuli.

“Raise troops for a thousand days, use them for a moment. I have to head out—Shushan’s life and death is now in your hands.”
