"This old man knows that Lord Supreme Cloud is a national hero, a truly great figure who shakes the heavens and the earth. I have my own reasons for borrowing my name. I have no choice but to do so. However, I can't take this lying down. "
Feng Xiange said, "So … we just need to find him and punish him lightly."
The middle-aged man in green chuckled humorlessly and sighed, standing up abruptly.
He began to fish out items from his robes.
Gold notes, silver notes, jade marrow crystals …
Then, he opened his spatial ring and poured out a pile of treasured resources, saying calmly, "Feng Xiange, look. Do you like anything here?"
Feng Xiange was genuinely shocked this time, stuttering, "What … what do you mean?"
The middle-aged man said, "If there's anything that catches your eye, Brother Feng, just say it. Here are the Soulsucking Vine, the Psychedelic Grass, the Netherworld Vermillion Fruit, and the Drunken Orchid from the previous year … These are all items that can be used to brew exquisite wine. How about I give them all to Brother Feng?"
Feng Xiange's expression changed as he said, "What do you mean? You have to make it clear. "
The middle-aged man said, "I wonder if these can make up for Brother Feng's wine that I've drunk just now? If not, I'll think of something else. "
Feng Xiange was taken aback before he flew into a rage. "Ling Xiaozui! What do you mean? Although this old man has never met you, you don't have to humiliate me like this! "
In his agitation, his voice was much louder than before.
When the innkeeper, who had been listening attentively, heard this name, he felt as if three thunderbolts had suddenly sounded in his head, and he almost fainted from the shock.
Ling Xiaozui!
Ling Xiaozui!
I was wondering who would have the guts to knock on Dugu Chou's door and have the guts to make Dugu Chou guess! It turned out to be the publicly acknowledged Unrivaled Expert in recent years!
The identities of three of the four people who had been drinking were now clear.
Dugu Chou, Ling Xiaozui, and Feng Xiange!
They were the pinnacle experts of legends and myths! They were the legends of a generation!
The stories of these three people had spread far and wide. Their deeds had become legends that everyone in Tianxuan Continent was familiar with!
Then who was the last person?
Ling Xiaozui was not enraged when he heard Feng Xiange's question, but explained patiently, "It's a helpless thing to say. I can't help you with this."
Feng Xiange was stunned.
"I couldn't help you, but I drank the wine that could only be drunk with help." Ling Xiaozui said faintly, "Therefore, I have to compensate you. And I want double the compensation. "
"Why is that?" Feng Xiange mumbled.
Ling Xiaozui chuckled. "Not only can I not help you, but I also have to obstruct the people who help you …"
Feng Xiange's eyes widened.
There was actually such a godly twist!
Feng Xiange could not help but be stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment. With Ling Xiaozui in the way, this matter would be difficult to resolve.
At this moment.
When the innkeeper heard Ling Xiaozui's words, he felt a rush of blood coursing through his veins. He dashed over and knelt before Ling Xiaozui. "This lowly one thanks Lord Ling for your care and concern for our nation's Lord Supreme Cloud! This lowly one kowtows to Lord Ling! "
Bam, bam, bam …
Under everyone's shocked gaze, the innkeeper kowtowed thrice consecutively.
He wanted to continue but was pulled up by Dugu Chou with a sharp gaze. "Why is this?"
The innkeeper was only an ordinary person, his cultivation base like a shrimp, but he was stern when faced with Dugu Chou, an expert who was above the clouds. "Lord Supreme Cloud is Yutang's pillar, a Buddha to all. We, the common folk, can only wish for Lord Supreme Cloud to live a smooth life, to be free from sickness and pain. As long as Lord Supreme Cloud is still around, we'll have something to rely on! We'll have something to look forward to! "
"We're not that capable. Other than blessing Lord Supreme Cloud, we'll also curse Lord Supreme Cloud's enemies to die a horrible death! The sooner they die, the better! "
The words of this insignificant person in the mortal world made the four peerless experts in the world fall into silence!
"Why?" Dugu Chou asked after a moment of silence.
"No reason." Although the innkeeper was a little afraid and his body was trembling, he still said boldly, "Because that's Lord Supreme Cloud, because this lowly one is Yutang's man!"
"Well said!"
The skeletal man praised and turned to look at Feng Xiange, saying, "I can't help you with this, but after drinking your wine … I can point the way for you three times. These three times of guidance can save you or the person you designate from certain death three times!"
Feng Xiange was even more stunned.
He was still a little lost.
Looking at Ling Xiaozui and the skeletal man who looked a little embarrassed, he felt even worse.
What was going on?
People of Ling Xiaozui's level would not usually promise anything, but once they did, there would be no going back on it.
Since they were willing to sit down and drink with him, it was equivalent to saying, "Whatever you need, we'll do it for you!"
There was no way it could be fake.
However, it was completely different now.
A mere Supreme Cloud had actually made both of them change their minds at the same time!
Even if it went against their usual principles, even if they owed him a bigger favor, they would not do it!
What was going on?
Why couldn't he understand this world?
Feng Xiange chuckled humorlessly and asked, "What about you, Dugu?"
Dugu Chou was silent for a moment before he said, "This old man doesn't care. However, if Lord Supreme Cloud is truly such a loyal official who serves the country and the people … this old man can only warn him on your behalf. I can't do anything more than that."
Feng Xiange laughed and said, "If that's the case, why would I still trouble Supreme Cloud? Forget it. Let's just let this matter go. As long as Lord Supreme Cloud doesn't come into my hands, this old man won't trouble him anymore. "
He smiled and said, "However, this old man was the one who canceled this, so it's impossible for you to owe me a favor. Instead, I'm the one who went back on my word. I should be the one to treat everyone to a drink."
The other three men laughed in unison. "Makes sense, makes sense."
It was at this moment that the sound of galloping horses could be heard from outside.
The sound was far away.
However, with the four experts here, no one was breathing loudly within a few miles. It was quiet. Under such circumstances, the sound of galloping horses was abrupt and crisp.
The eyes of the four men shone brightly.
"An unparalleled steed!"
The skeletal man praised, "This sound … This old man has never seen anything like it in my life!"
Ling Xiaozui drank a mouthful of wine and said, "This old man has never seen anything like this in my life!"
Dugu Chou's ears were tilted to the side, listening to the incessant galloping like thunder. A strange longing expression hung on his face as he said faintly, "This is a king of horses! I didn't expect such a magnificent steed to exist in this world after Hong'er all those years ago! "
Before his words echoed in the air.
A horse had suddenly stopped at the entrance of the inn.
It was clad in red!
It was like a ball of fire, burning as it galloped in the darkness. It seemed like it had always been there, but it stopped abruptly.
Dugu Chou's eyes widened abruptly.
The skeletal man's pupils shrunk. Looking at the person on the horse, a mysterious smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
Ling Xiaozui sighed.
Why was this fellow here?
Although this was a great opportunity for this fellow, Feng Xiange's desire for revenge had just been suppressed by the three of them. This was the moment when he was the most frustrated, though he did not say it aloud.
This guy definitely shouldn't have come at this time!
On the back of the horse, there was a young man in purple. His face was like jade and his figure was like a tree in the wind. His eyes were filled with joy as he jumped down from the horse and shouted, "Brother Ling! You're here! Why didn't you tell me that you were coming here? You almost made me break my legs … "
Everyone curled their lips.
You clearly rode a horse here. How did you break your leg?
The youth had already rushed over and plopped himself down on the stool by the table, leaning close to Ling Xiaozui and guffawed, "Brother Ling, let's not go home until we're drunk today!"
He picked up a pot of Feng Xiange's wine and broke the clay seal with a slap. Raising both hands, he laughed and said, "Brother Ling, the wine of the God of Wine, Feng Xiange, is gone now. However, we're brothers. Whatever wine we drink, it's all Feng Xiange's wine. Come, come, let me toast you!"
Unexpectedly, he raised his head and gulped down the entire jar of wine.
Wiping his mouth, he praised, "Great wine!"
Lifting his head, he saw that the people at the table were looking at him like he was a god.
Feeling a little lost, he wiped his mouth and asked, "What is it?"
