For no apparent reason, that was the first thought that surfaced in Tongtian's mind.
The trouble was that Gu Changqing never played by the rules.
Even Tongtian could no longer quite get a handle on his temperament.
He could not help worrying that Gu Changqing might stir up trouble again and offend Jieyin and Zhunti.
Then the Interception Sect and the Western Teachings would truly become irreconcilable enemies.
Of course, Tongtian felt no particular sympathy for Jieyin and Zhunti.
But if there was no need, why offend the Two Sages of the West?
With that thought, Tongtian glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti, whose faces brimmed with anticipation.
Then he cast a meaningful look toward Gu Changqing's cave abode.

As for the various heavenly treasures, he unhesitatingly substituted jadegrass growing around his cave abode.
"Hehe... once it's brewed into wine..."
"Who will know... what I actually used to make it?"
Gu Changqing muttered to himself.
Indeed!
From beginning to end, had he ever intended to fulfill Jieyin and Zhunti's wishes and brew the supreme immortal wine they wanted?
How could he possibly do that?
Would
