Lu Ye paused with his wine cup at his lips and listened closely.
If he had not heard wrong, that cry just now had belonged to Shen Manzi, the landlady of Hundred Fragrances Building.
Who knew what the table next door was up to? They had come here for a gathering, yet they were spouting such arrogant words.
Those assigned to the Elegant Courtyards were certainly regular patrons of Hundred Fragrances Building. Whenever these regulars came, Shen Manzi would generally go over and toast them with a few cups. It was simply how a businesswoman conducted her affairs.
Shen Manzi must have gone to offer a toast, but who knew whether she had failed to do something properly and provoked such trouble from them.
"Captain!" Xiao Ruyun stood nearby and looked at Geng Wuwang.
Geng Wuwang remained seated and slowly shook his head. "No need to get involved yet."
All kinds of cultivators came to Hundred Fragrances Building to relax and enjoy themselves. Shen Manzi was exceptionally beautiful and alluring. Though such incidents were uncommon, they had happened before, and Shen Manzi had always resolved them with ease.
She was naturally a woman skilled at dancing through every social occasion. Otherwise, she could not have run such a restaurant in Vast Sky City.
Then Shen Manzi's voice drifted over from the neighboring courtyard. "It is rare for you honored guests to visit. Naturally, I should keep you company for a few more cups. I shall drink first as a sign of respect."
Before long, thunderous cheers erupted from that side. Shen Manzi had likely drained a cup in one gulp.
"I had long heard that Boss Shen could hold her liquor. Seeing it today, the reputation is indeed well deserved. Come, come, I shall toast Boss Shen with a cup."
