Beside him, Feng Tianxing was initially taken aback as well, but when his gaze fell on the middle-aged man, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"I was already being generous by ranking this White Jade Brew fifth. If I ranked it seriously, it would really come seventh at best!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar immediately pulled the book off his face, then narrowed his eyes at Feng Tianxing.
"Then tell me, just what are the six fine wines that rank above my White Cloud Brew..."
Before he could finish his question, the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar suddenly froze, his eyes fixed on Feng Tianxing.
Feng Tianxing, meanwhile, said nothing.
He merely grinned at the middle-aged man.
Then the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar suddenly cried out in wild delight:
"Uncle Feng! Is that you, Uncle Feng?!"
Feng Tianxing grinned.
"You've got a decent memory, little fellow. You haven't forgotten your Uncle Feng."
Hearing Feng Tianxing say this, the middle-aged man vaulted straight over the counter and landed right in front of him.
The middle-aged man first bowed, then said excitedly:
"Uncle Feng, whoever else I might forget, I wouldn't dare forget you!"
Feng Tianxing smiled, then introduced him to Xu Taiping beside him.
"This is Du Kang, the current master of White Jade Tower."
Seeing how courteously Feng Tianxing treated Xu Taiping, Du Kang immediately began looking Xu Taiping over curiously.
Soon, Du Kang said in astonishment:
"Could this gentleman... could he... is this Daoist Taiping?!"
Clearly, Du Kang recognized Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping immediately smiled and cupped his hands to Du Kang.
"Xu Taiping of the Azure Profound Sect greets House Master Du!"
He continued:
"I'm afraid I'll be imposing on you today."
