The Yellow Crane Dances in the High Tower (Seeking subscriptions! Seeking monthly tickets!)

After acquiring the Male and Female Treasure Swords, Lu Dongbin traveled to Yueyang. Sometimes he gave out fruit in the streets, sometimes he wandered through the countryside, seeking those upright-hearted and kind souls whom he could deliver.

One day, having just done a good deed, he arrived at a tavern and heard someone beside him say, "I have seen your noble righteousness, sir. Please have a bowl of wine."

It turned out to be the owner of the nearby wine stall. Moved by Lu Dongbin's good deeds and filled with admiration, he brought over a bowl of wine for him.

"Thank you, brother!" Lu Dongbin raised the bowl and drained it in one gulp.

His eyes immediately lit up, and he praised loudly, "Fine wine! It truly surpasses even the jade nectar of the Heavenly Court!"

The owner laughed and teased, "So sir has even drunk the Heavenly Court's jade nectar? Then I suppose this poor man's wine has fouled your palate."

Lu Dongbin laughed. "Not at all, not at all. Wine offered in gratitude for a kind heart—how could it not taste better than jade nectar? Hahaha!"

As the two spoke, several burly men suddenly came shoving and jostling their way over. The moment they entered the wine stall, they casually kicked at its tables and stools.

The leader, dressed like a wealthy young master, looked at the owner and said, "Xin Da, shouldn't you be handing over this month's fee by now?"

With a bitter expression, the owner Xin Da said, "Young Master Wang, business has been poor lately. Please grant this humble man a few more days."

Smash—

Young Master Wang grabbed a jar of wine and viciously hurled it to the ground. "No money? And yet you have money to treat this poor scholar to wine?
