Dressed in a white Confucian robe and riding a black horse, the breeze brought the fragrance of soil and flowers. The beautiful scenery on both sides of the road was enchanting. Listening to the shouts of passers-by and the singing of various birds, he swayed towards the city gate where Lin Pingzhi came from like a young man from a rich family.
The black horse walked leisurely on the road for a long time. Suddenly, it saw a wine sign sticking out from the side of the road, fluttering in the wind. There were two awnings made of cloth, and one shed made of straw. It was a simple and crude wine shop that stood by the side of the road, welcoming travelers from the south to the north.
Sitting on the horse, Ye Xuan looked at the wine shop on the side of the road. A glimmer of light flashed in his slightly squinted eyes. If he guessed correctly, this wine shop was the beginning of the whole story of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
Riding the black horse, Ye Xuan rode to the wine shop as if he was on an outing. Instead of urging the horse forward, he pulled the reins, turned over and got off the horse. He casually tied the horse to the wooden pole on the side and walked into the wine shop as if there was no one else around.
At this time, in the wine shop, a girl in cyan with two bundles of hair and two thorny hairpins was standing by the stove with her head down, making wine. Hearing someone coming in, the girl in cyan seemed not to hear it. She was still making wine with her head down, not even turning her face.
"Owner!" Ye Xuan sat down casually. Seeing that no one came to greet him, he looked around and said aloud.
As if hearing Ye Xuan's voice, a cough came from the straw shed. Then, a bowed old man with white hair slowly walked out of the straw shed and said with a northern accent, "Sir, please take a seat. Do you want to drink?"
"Of course. If I don't drink, should I drink tea in the wine shop?" Ye Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and said.
"If you want to drink tea, we also have it!" The old man with white hair replied weakly.
"Oh, really? Then give me a pot of Longjing tea from the West Lake first! "Ye Xuan said with a smile.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the green-clothed girl also raised her head. A pair of intelligent eyes flashed as she glanced at Ye Xuan. There was a hint of anger in her eyes.
Just now, the green-clothed girl had lowered her head. However, her figure was graceful, and she looked like a beautiful young lady. Who would have thought that when she raised her head, her skin would be tanned, and there would be many acne spots on her face. She had the figure of an angel, and her face was so devilish that no one could bear to look straight at her.
"Ahem, you must be joking. This shop is just a simple wine shop. I only have some simple tea leaves. Superior tea leaves like Longjing Tea are something that I would never be able to take out. "The white-haired old man coughed twice and smiled bitterly as he cupped his hands and bowed.
"Then don't talk nonsense, bring out your best wine and dishes, take it!" Ye Xuan waved his hand and threw out a small piece of silver, which landed on the ground in front of the white-haired old man.
"You …" Seeing that Ye Xuan had actually thrown the silver on the ground, the green-robed young lady frowned. She was about to explode.
"Ahem, Wan 'er, warm up our best Bamboo Leaf Green Tea and serve it to the customer!" Seeing the young lady's actions, the white-haired old man coughed. He turned his head and gave the green-clothed young lady a look.
"Customer, please wait a moment. This old man will prepare some dishes for you to go with the wine." The white-haired old man's body trembled slightly as he bent down to pick up the silver on the ground. He bowed to Ye Xuan. Then, he turned around and slowly walked into the straw hut.
Watching the white-haired old man's back as he walked back into the straw hut, the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth slightly curled up. This Laudeno's acting skills were indeed not fake. Could it be that no one could tell that he had been in the Mount Hua Sect for decades? If it wasn't for Yue Buqun's craftiness, who knew his identity before he came to the sect, he might have really succeeded in toppling the Mount Hua Sect.
"Bang!"
After a while, the green-clothed young lady heavily placed the wooden tray of wine on the table. She put down the wine and chopsticks, snorted softly, turned around, and walked into the straw hut.
As the saying goes, "Don't be afraid of a god-like opponent, but be afraid of a pig-like teammate." With Yue Buqun's daughter by his side, no matter how good Laudeno's acting skills were, he would still be full of flaws.
Watching the green-clothed young lady walk into the straw hut, Ye Xuan shook his head slightly. He picked up the wine jug, poured himself a cup, and slowly drank.
"Second senior brother, that scholarly brat is so despicable. If it wasn't for you stopping me, I would have taught him a lesson!" As soon as they entered the straw hut, Yue Lingshan looked at Laudeno, who was seriously cutting the beef, and spoke with an angry tone.
"Little junior sister, don't be impatient. We came to Fuzhou City on master's orders to secretly investigate the Fu Wei Escort Agency. Little junior sister, don't forget that master told us before we left the mountain not to reveal our identities unless it was absolutely necessary." Laudeno lowered his head and put the beef on the wooden plate. A glimmer of light flashed through his eyes as he blinked.
"I really don't know what father is thinking. Since our Mount Hua Sect has received news that the Devil Cult wants to destroy the Fu Wei Escort Agency, we can just directly go to them and tell them. Why do we have to be so sneaky? We are people of the righteous path." Yue Lingshan curled her lips.
"Master is wise and mighty. He must have a reason for us to do this." Laudeno said as he chopped a salt-sliced chicken.
"What reason …" Yue Lingshan mumbled.
"Little junior sister, help me take these two portions of meat out for a while." Laudeno finished cutting the beef and chicken and spoke to Yue Lingshan as he went to get peanuts and other food.
Seeing the two portions of meat on the table, Yue Lingshan's large eyes rolled around. Suddenly, a sly smile flashed across her face as she ran into the room. When she came out, she was holding a green jade bottle in her hand. She opened the bottle's stopper and inside was some greyish-yellow medicinal powder.
"Little junior sister, what are you doing?" Seeing the medicinal bottle in Yue Lingshan's hand, Laudeno was shocked. He thought that Yue Lingshan was insensible and wanted to poison the scholarly brat outside. He hurriedly turned around to stop her.
This wasn't because Laudeno was being merciful. If it was necessary, Laudeno would take the scholarly brat's life with his sword. He wouldn't even blink. It was just that he didn't want to cause any more trouble and disrupt his plans.
"Sigh, second senior brother, what are you thinking? This bottle is a laxative. I just wanted to teach that uncultured brat a lesson." Yue Lingshan giggled and poured the laxative into the two portions of meat. She used a pair of chopsticks to mix them evenly and put the laxative into her bosom. She winked at Laudeno and carried the two portions of meat out with a smile on her face.
Seeing Yue Lingshan carry the two portions of meat out, Laudeno shook his head with a smile and went back to his own business.
Yue Lingshan held the two portions of meat in her hands and walked towards Ye Xuan with a smile on her face.
If she hadn't changed her appearance, her bright eyes and sharp teeth were naturally extremely beautiful. However, she had forgotten that her current demonic appearance was even more terrifying when she giggled.
