Half an hour later.
"So, Li Li went to Mount Hyjal? That arrogant brat!" Old Chen took off his straw hat, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if to say:
I've loved traveling and wandering since I was little, and I was a real troublemaker. My brother Pao Stormstout's daughter is just like me!
Speaking of which, Li Li really does look a bit like... well, Sister-in-law Xiuli?
Old Chen glanced at Illidan standing beside him with his sharp eyes, frowning slightly, because he sensed that this strange Night Elf possessed an energy far greater than his own. It wasn't Chi or even Arcane energy, but rather the same evil energy as that of demons.
This made him very uncomfortable, and he became wary of this seemingly harmless Night Elf.
"You're not the only one with the Pandaren's adventurous spirit, Chen Stormstout. Of course, I know that there have been fewer and fewer Pandaren travelers in recent decades, but your Legendary deeds have still awakened the Pandaren's attitude towards life inherited from Liu Lang: poetry... well, wandering and distant places. So... they came with me." Jiang Jie shrugged, first waving his hand to indicate that Li Li's appearance was not something he had tricked, then telling Old Chen how he met Li Li, and finally telling him that Ji and Aysa had also come along, and had received permission from Master Shang Xi.
"Ji? Aysa? Those two little ones? They're alright, but they're still young, and young people are unreliable... I'd feel a little more at ease if Gao were with her... Never mind, I'll go find her!" Old Chen glanced at Illidan again, not really wanting to stand with this person.
He was fearless, of course; if a fight really broke out, he believed he wouldn't lose...
But he still didn't quite like the aura emanating from this person, because he disliked demons.
In fact, the meeting just now was not pleasant.
Old Chen initially mistook Illidan for a demon, and along the way, he encountered many demons blocking his path. When he grabbed one of them and asked if it knew anything about Li Li, the wicked demon claimed that Li Li had already been captured and eaten!
Although Old Chen quickly realized that the demon was lying, his dislike for the demon escalated to a new level. When he encountered the demon, his only reaction was. "Damn it!"
And so, the battle began!
It was in this battle that Jiang Jie witnessed the power of Pandaren Martial Arts Master!
In terms of physique alone, Illidan is a little taller than Old Chen, but Old Chen is much heavier Illidan.
In terms of combat skills, Old Chen is in no way inferior to Illidan.
Illidan's two scimitars are certainly powerful, but Pandaren Monk never rely on the advantage of their weapons.
The two fought back and forth, getting into a good battle!
The Demon Hunter was naturally extremely fast, Pandaren Monk was equally fast. In the end, even after Jiang Jie intervened to stop them, they still couldn't determine a winner.
" Uncle Chen, you've never been to Mount Hyjal, have you? You're not familiar with anything there, are you? Mount Hyjal is so big, how long will it take you to find Li Li? Here's what we'll do: I'll take you there later, I guarantee it'll be faster than you looking for her yourself! Of course, I still have some things to do right now, but if you can help me out, it will be much faster, and we can find Li Li much sooner." Jiang Jie sweetly, calling him " Uncle Chen," and then said with a smile.
"Kid, I've actually been to Mount Hyjal. The World Tree Nordrassil is really tall and huge, but I still secretly... openly climbed up there and even stole a nest of bird eggs!" Old Chen looked at Jiang Jie with a smile.
Jiang Jie's smile immediately froze.
Old Chen... actually went to Mount Hyjal?
Okay, Li Li said that Old Chen has been out there for several years. Knowing his personality, it would be strange if he didn't go up and take a look at the world's highest mountain!
What? He doesn't know the entrance to Mount Hyjal?
Please, even ordinary humans can climb Mount Everest, let alone Old Chen, who "weighs 260 pounds but is as light as a swallow and has superb agility!"
Old Chen is probably one of the fattest people in the world with the best agility!
But how did you manage to avoid the eyes of the Night Elf and the nature Keeper?
Climbed up their sacred tree? And even touched a nest of... bird eggs? "Hmph!" The natural mark on Jiang Jie's forehead lit up, Cenarius's voice entered Jiang Jie's mind, clearly somewhat dissatisfied with Old Chen's behavior.
"Ahem, well, I'm a Earl from Lordaeron, and I have a good relationship with Orcs, the Thrall Warchief..." Jiang Jie shamelessly flaunted his connection, then added meaningfully, "That's why I can get my hands on the best wine from both humans and Orcs!"
Old Chen's eyes lit up.
Jiang Jie continued, "Furthermore, Prince Kael'thas of the High Elf is my friend, and I also know General Nesingwary of Ironforge. I can also procure fine wines from the High Elf and Dwarves."
Old Chen's breathing began to quicken.
Jiang Jie continued, "The cider in Southshore tastes good, and the Dwarves stout is quite strong. The strongest is Thunderbrew Lager! After downing a glass, it feels like thunder is roaring through your stomach, and the smell of alcohol can fill the whole room when you open your mouth—it's incredibly refreshing! You haven't tried it, have you?"
Old Chen opened his mouth, then finally managed to close it, swallowing hard.
Jiang Jie smiled and said, "Furthermore, I know many secret brewing recipes, many of which you've never heard of and can't find in this world. Dark beer, wheat beer, lager, soy sauce aroma, light aroma, strong aroma, red wine, yellow wine, yellow wine, rice wine, medicinal wine, bayberry wine, cherry blossom wine, strawberry wine, cherry wine..."
"Stop talking!" Old Chen Chen's chubby belly began to tremble violently, his eyes filled with lust for alcohol. "Why raise the glass? Why grow so fat? Alcohol addiction is incurable, and Uncle Chen is also puzzled! Alcohol is all I have left in this life! Even if you asked me to kill Archimonde, I would agree!"
Jiang Jie shook his head slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Tichondrius is no easy opponent, and snatching food from the jaws of both Tichondrius and Illidan is even more difficult. Jiang Jie hadn't held out much hope initially, but now with Old Chen's help, his chances have greatly increased!
Of course, Jiang Jie knew very well that Old Chen would not really go against his principles because of alcohol.
He left Wandering Isle to travel and adventure around the world in search of fine wine and brewing ingredients, but his concern for Wandering Isle, for the Pandaren, and for Li Li never diminished.
Jiang Jie had been to Wandering Isle and passed on Chinese Martial Arts to the Pandaren. He was also Li Li's master. In any case, he would definitely help Jiang Jie with his needs.
" Illidan, your goal should be the same as mine, Tichondrius. If I'm not mistaken, Arthas told you Tichondrius's location, and incidentally sent you to retrieve Skull of Gul'dan?" Jiang Jie looked at Illidan.
Illidan raised an eyebrow, surprised that Jiang Jie even knew this!
At this moment, he began to wonder if Jiang Jie was in league with Arthas, since they both seemed to be human!
" Arthas is my enemy. If he had the chance, he would definitely want to kill me with his own hands, and of course, I would also like to kill him with my own hands." Jiang Jie glanced at Illidan, then said, " Arthas is the Lich King's man. The Lich King and his Scourge are Archimonde's pawns in Azeroth, but the Lich King is unwilling to be subservient to anyone, and Kil'jaeden the Deceiver knows this too. Hmm, let's talk as we walk."...
