Mo Yi carried Jiang Liu and flew directly over the city wall, heading towards a five-story pavilion.
Before long, Mo Yi led Jiang Liu to the front of the five-story pavilion. Mo Yi and Jiang Liu both stopped and stood in front of the first floor of the pavilion. Jiang Liu looked up and saw the three characters "Drunken Fragrance Pavilion" hanging on the plaque of the pavilion.
"Junior Brother Jiang, to celebrate our meeting, I've specially brought you here to taste the best food and wine in Qi City and see the most beautiful girls in the entire Qi City." After saying this, Mo Yi pulled Jiang Liu into the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion.
Jiang Liu looked at Mo Yi speechlessly, thinking, "Isn't it enough that you get chased by women every day? Why are you doing this again?"
As soon as Mo Yi entered Drunken Fragrance Pavilion, the manager guarding the entrance immediately came to greet him, "Young Master Mo, you've arrived far too early. None of the ladies are up yet."
"That's alright. Bring up the best wine and food first. Once the ladies are up, just call them up. I'm in a good mood today, so let's drink until we drop." Without waiting for a reply, Mo Yi pulled Jiang Liu directly up to the top floor.
Before long, the two reached the top floor. Mo Yi led Jiang Liu directly to the last private room, which was his usual room. Upon arriving at the room, Mo Yi pushed open the door and led Jiang Liu inside.
Before long, the waitress brought out the wine and dishes, and Jiang Liu and Mo Yi began to drink slowly and leisurely. The two chatted about everything under the sun, mainly talking about what they had seen and heard on the road, with Mo Yi doing most of the talking and Jiang Liu occasionally chiming in.
Soon it was almost noon, and all the girls mentioned earlier got up. The madam led them directly into a private room, where a variety of fragrant aromas filled the air, and clothes fluttered in the breeze.
Soon, laughter and cheerful chatter filled the entire Drunken Fragrance Pavilion. Mo Yi drank himself into a stupor, while Jiang Liu was more restrained, being cautious because of what had happened in Wind City.
The two were enjoying their drinks in the private room when the door was suddenly pushed open violently, followed by a voice saying, "Who do you think you are? I want the best private room!"
Suddenly, the entire private room fell silent, and everyone looked towards the door.
Standing at the entrance was a flamboyant young man dressed in a white robe, followed by several young men who looked like henchmen, while the shopkeeper stood to one side, sweating profusely.
Mo Yi immediately smashed the wine glass on the ground, and the aura of Minor Grandmaster emanating from him instantly pressed down on the young master who had violently pushed open the door.
Instantly, an elderly man who was also a Minor Grandmaster appeared behind the young master, flashing in front of him and pushing him back a few steps. He then alone bore the brunt of Mo Yi's oppressive aura.
"Young Master Mo, sir, please don't make a move. Our shop can't withstand your disturbance. Besides, if we continue fighting, the Martial Prohibition Hall will also intervene," the shopkeeper hurriedly said.
"I can stop, but make him slap himself and apologize. If that satisfies me, I can leave," Mo Yi said, pointing to the young master who had violently pushed open the door.
"Young Master Mo, could we perhaps agree on a different condition? I can apologize on behalf of my young master," the young master's guardian had no choice but to step forward and say.
"Alright, let's change the terms. Ten thousand taels of silver! Put it in the shopkeeper's account. I'll let you off the hook for now!" Mo Yi said nonchalantly.
Just as the young master was about to lash out, the Minor Grandmaster beside him quickly pulled him back and whispered something in his ear. Then, without saying another word, he turned and went downstairs.
His entourage also left together. Finally, the manager went to confirm that the 100,000 taels of silver had been received, and then he closed the door to the private room again.
As soon as the young master stepped out of the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion, he glared angrily at the old man with the strength of a Minor Grandmaster.
Helpless, the old man whispered in the young master's ear, "Young master, the one up there is the son of the Valley Master of the Exotic Beast Valley."
The young master could only turn away in anger.
"Junior brother, are you wondering why I let him go so easily?"
Jiang Liu shook his head and remained silent.
Mo Yi continued, "That was Ye Qiuzhen, the younger brother of Ye Qiuyi from the Ye family. He must have come to participate in the opening of this secret realm."
Ye Qiuyi? Jiang Liu felt the name sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that it was a name from the Ascension Rankings two years ago. He nodded without saying anything.
Mo Yi didn't say anything more, but continued to drink, listen to music, watch dances, and talk to Jiang Liu about the local customs and culture of various places in Daqian.
Jiang Liu didn't take it to heart and stayed with Mo Yi. The two drank until sunset before parting ways and resting in the courtyard behind the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion.
Mo Yi took several girls back to his room, lay on the bed, his eyes clear, and there was no trace of the drunkenness from before. He stroked his chin and pondered, thinking that this Junior Brother Jiang was quite interesting.
He then let out a few ambiguous laughs, lay down on the bed, and waited for the girls to serve him.
Jiang Liu returned to his room alone, touched his slightly dizzy forehead, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to meditate and circulate his inner energy to dispel the smell of alcohol.
Because Jiang Liu maintained his self-control, he didn't drink too much, which allowed him to use his internal energy to dispel the effects of the alcohol. Before long, Jiang Liu was completely sober.
Only then did he begin formal meditation and cultivation. Unless absolutely necessary, Jiang Liu didn't want to miss a single day of cultivation.
The next day, early in the morning, Jiang Liu went out of his room, walked onto the street, had a quick breakfast, and then headed towards the Ascension Tower.
As Jiang Liu approached the entrance of Ascension Tower, he saw the bustling Ascension Tower and realized that every Ascension Tower seemed to be doing very well. No wonder some Lineage inside the Ascension Tower had other ideas.
As soon as Jiang Liu entered the Ascension Tower, a waitress greeted him. It seemed that the service at every Ascension Tower was excellent, no wonder the business was so good. Jiang Liu took out his identity token and handed it over.
The waitress took Jiang Liu 'Jiang Liu ID token, checked it at the front desk, and then handed it back to Jiang Liu with both hands, bowing and saying, "Young Master Jiang, do you want to buy something or ask about something?"
"I'm looking for your building owner!" Jiang Liu replied.
The waitress nodded and led Jiang Liu straight to the top floor. When they reached the last secret room, she knocked on the door, and a strong, powerful voice came from inside. "Come in!"
"Master, Young Master Jiang Liu requests an audience!" the waitress said with a bow.
Bai Wusong frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Oh! Let him in!"
"Yes!" The waitress stepped out of the secret room and gestured for Jiang Liu to enter. "Young Master Jiang, our master invites you!"
Jiang Liu nodded and entered the secret room. As soon as he entered, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Bai. I am Jiang Liu."
Bai Wusong nodded and said, "We're all family, no need for formalities, please sit down!"
Jiang Liu apologized and sat down on a chair nearby.
"Who are you looking for this time?" Bai Wusong asked.
"I'd like to ask you for some information about this Martial Arts Tournament, the upcoming opening of the secret realm, and the list of participants," Jiang Liu said directly.
"I can give you all of these, but the information about the secret manuals is all hearsay and probably not very accurate," Bai Wusong nodded and said.
"Also, the top experts from each state who participated in this secret realm have all arrived. Now, only the people from the three sects haven't arrived yet! Be careful about your safety during this time," Bai Wusong warned.
Jiang Liu nodded. Then, Bai Wusong turned around and went into the room behind the secret room. She took out three documents from three drawers and handed them to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu accepted it with both hands and thanked him.
Bai Wusong waved his hand, signaling Jiang Liu to go back first.
Jiang Liu nodded in agreement, then turned and left the secret room.
Bai Wusong watched Jiang Liu's retreating figure and thought to herself, "Jiang Liu has a good heart and enough talent, but I wonder if he can help Murong Yin support the Murong Family."
