Each inhale and exhale naturally mobilizes his spiritual power to alleviate the body’s negative reactions.
This guy... seems to have so cheat-like abilities.
On the other hand, Su He, who is just a step away from the "Fourth-tier", also has a breathing technique similar to the captain’s.
Drinking liquor like it’s water.
Drinking like this... it’s hard to determine a winner.
Gu Shen thought seriously for a mont, then whispered, "You two... I have so good stuff here, mass-produced liquor specially mixed from the East Continent..."
Su He shook his head imdiately and said, "Liquor from the East Continent? I’ve tried it, it tastes like water."
Yuan Yuan laughed and said, "Brother Gu, with all due respect, for other things it’s fine, but the liquor from your place really can’t compare to the North Continent..."
Indeed.
When it cos to drinking, Northern Continent people have the qualification to look down on all other continents.
However, the "Lion Awakening Wine" that Gu Shen brought this ti isn’t so simple.
Seeing their reactions, Gu Shen couldn’t help but laugh.
He enthusiastically invited, "Why don’t... you two give it a try?"
...
...
When Lin Lin pushed open the door, he frowned.
Gu Shen’s attic wasn’t locked.
A strong sll of liquor wafted in.
Within Gu Castle, military discipline is strict... the only ones who can drink at this ti within the fortress are people from the "Investigation Corps."
Sure enough, upon entering the room, he saw empty liquor bottles everywhere. The bodies of the Explorers of the Maze team mbers were sprawled in all directions, unconscious. These guys, known for their good drinking capacity, were all downed. Their postures were varied, creating quite the scene, especially since even the elite mbers of team two, Yuan Yuan and Su He, were blackout drunk!
These are "Third-tier Peak" and "Fourth-tier" experts!
They should be immune to alcohol!
Seeing this scene, Lin Lin’s once stern and grave expression beca subtle.
Because there was still one person awake on the scene.
And not just nominally sober.
Gu Shen sat cross-legged on the bed cultivating. After ending the battle at the drinking scene, he began his cultivation, using spiritual power to continuously summon Chi Huo, colliding with the Golden Hoop.
At this mont, Gu Shen slowly opened his eyes.
His voice was incredibly calm: "You’ve finally arrived."
"These guys all got drunk, didn’t they bring you along for the drinking?" Lin Lin found it sowhat unimaginable.
"Isn’t it possible... that I drank them all under the table?" Gu Shen offered an even more astonishing answer.
"Impossible." Lin Lin frowned, "How can a Fourth-tier expert get drunk?"
"Want to try so?" Gu Shen smiled, taking out a black bottle, "Feeling a bit stressed lately?"
"..."
Lin Lin was silent.
Actually, when he walked into the room, he kind of guessed the truth, but he really didn’t want to believe it.
What kind of demonic path is this kid taking?
To knock out both Yuan Yuan and Su He, that black bottle must contain poison, right?
"No need." Lin Lin got straight to the point, "I’m here to deliver the ’invitation letter’.
The ennoblent ceremony in Central City will soon arrive at Gu Castle.
However, the speed of it is faster than Gu Shen imagined.
Gu Shen received the invitation letter with composure.
He was no longer the naive young man in the East Continent who would revel for half a day upon receiving a dance invitation. He knew that an invitation from the Empress was just a piece of ordinary paper. When the pen touches the paper, it ans the invitation for "ennoblent" has already been sent.
As long as he proceeds there.
A laurel and flowers will be bestowed upon him.
"Besides, one more thing..."
After delivering the invitation, Lin Lin paused.
Before he could speak.
Gu Shen smiled and said, "You also want to advise not to go?"
Lin Lin was slightly taken aback.
"Zhong Yuan has already told that a big figure nad ng doesn’t like . Going to Central City, it’s inevitable to have a lot of trouble," Gu Shen said calmly. "But I don’t intend to deliberately avoid anyone."
"A big figure nad ng?" Lin Lin frowned slightly.
Apparently, he wasn’t aware of this matter.
This reaction was unexpected for Gu Shen. Lin Lin didn’t appear to be trying to persuade him to turn back.
"What I wanted to suggest earlier was, why not co with ? Once in Central City, we can look out for each other,"
Lin Lin lit a cigarette, speaking softly, "I don’t have much impression of a big figure nad ng... This should be your first ti in the North Continent, how could you have offended such a so-called big figure?"
Gu Shen gave a wry smile.
He shrugged his shoulders; even he was kept in the dark about this matter.
"Alright then..." Lin Lin turned his head, gently exhaling a long plu of smoke: "Zhong Yuan works for the Investigation Corps, and their intelligence is well-inford, knowing inland happenings sooner than the fortress. It’s not impossible that this information is true, but regardless of whether his warning is baseless... if you depart with , the journey to Central City will be absolutely safe."
"So bold?" Gu Shen clicked his tongue in wonder: "Is Central City owned by your family?"
Lin Lin smiled, saying nothing, but extended the invitation once again: "So... coming along with on this departure?"
Gu Shen astutely hugged his thigh: "Of course."
...
...
The surna Lin is quite special.
When Gu Shen asked that question, he was montarily dazed for a second.
Because the owner of Central City truly bears the surna Lin.
A lodramatic thought suddenly lashed through his mind but was quickly discarded by himself... The Empress, after all, is the youngest among the Divine Throne, even if she secretly gave birth, the child would at most be babbling now, unlikely to have been stationed in Gu Castle longer than Lin Lin has been guarding it.
The Lin Family is massive.
The truly powerful and influential "royal family" mbers all reside in Central City.
For instance, Duke Zhuxue Lin Chou, and Duke Duanyang Lin Yu, all closely related to the Empress via blood... And Lin Lin, the young Quasi-General stationed at the most frontier, most dangerous fortress, doesn’t seem to be an important figure connected to the Empress.
However, he seems to have a deep connection with Zhu Xue, likely a junior looked favorably upon by Lin Chou?
Gu Shen kept guessing but couldn’t discern the true reason behind this guy’s arrogant tone... ultimately attributing it to Heavenly Dog’s urging.
Lin Lin has established nurous battle honors at the Gu Castle Fortress, and departing for Central City, clearly set to receive recognition and reward.
No one dares to tamper with him.
The days following were quite simple, Lin Lin stayed in the fortress for three days while Gu Shen practiced diligently awaiting.
After getting drunk, those from the Investigation Corps, upon hearing about the "ennoblent" news relayed from Central City, grinned from ear to ear, beaming with delight.
Especially upon hearing about the possible awarding of a "First-Class dal", these rough fellows slapped each other silly to confirm they were truly awake and not dreaming... The First-Class dal is an honor every Transcendent of the Investigation Corps dreams of.
They didn’t linger, leaving the Gu Castle first chance they got, enthusiastically inviting Gu Shen to travel with them on the corps’ airship.
Gu Shen kindly declined their goodwill.
On one hand, he had a vague feeling that the "big figure nad ng" ntioned by Zhong Yuan, who didn’t like him, likely existed; perhaps due to wearing a pendant, Gu Shen seed to feel a "guidance", taking Yuan Yuan’s airship might lead to unnecessary trouble.
On the other hand, the Investigation Corps’ airship wasn’t nearly as safe as Lin Lin’s.
Aside from his intimidating surna, this guy had exceedingly imnse strength and a very strong military background.
Three days later.
It was the day Lin Lin left Gu Castle.
When Gu Shen arrived at the airship, he found it loaded with lots of stuff, which surprised Gu Shen, as he thought Lin Lin’s three-day stay was to stabilize the morale post-disaster and ensure Gu Castle functioning smoothly.
However, observing the bundled baggage and Zou Hai’s parting reluctantly expressions, it seed like this was a one-way trip?
Gu Shen poked the tall guy: "Vice Officer Zou, what’s the situation here?"
"What situation?"
As Gu Shen just spoke, Lin Lin approached from behind.
Seeing the packed luggage, his expression turned sour, growling sternly, "Zou, who told you to pack these?"
"Sir... I’ve heard..." Zou Hai said, feeling wronged, "Duke Zhuxue..."
"Stop right there, don’t ntion him."
Lin Lin impatiently waved his hand, saying, "I don’t like these things, take them back, I’m just going to Central City for sightseeing, don’t make it seem like a life-and-death parting! If you keep doing this, watch co back and beat you up in a few days!"
