Li Changqing had so pre-packaged dishes brought over from the Evergreen Comrce Association and then heated them up.
Although the tavern was no longer open, Li Changqing still brewed alcohol, since after tasting his own brew, nothing else quite asured up.
Xue Qianbai imdiately poured himself a glass.
Then he filled it to the brim again.
And poured himself another glass.
Seeing this, Li Changqing’s eyes showed a hint of heartache.
Not for Xue Qianbai, but for his prized alcohol.
Drinking it like this, without savoring it, isn’t it a waste of his excellent brew?
Xue Qianbai only stopped after forcing down five glasses.
"Alright, what’s going on? Tell , I’m listening." Li Changqing knew that for Xue Qianbai to drink like this, there must have been trouble at the Qinyang Dynasty.
While Li Changqing was concerned for his friend, he also felt a twinge of gossip.
Could it be that Xue Qianbai was rejected by the Princess of Qinyang?
Xue Qianbai pondered for a mont before recounting the whole story. He was a complete novice when it ca to matters of the heart, so he wanted Li Changqing to analyze whether he still had a chance.
However, Xue Qianbai assud Li Changqing could offer him so good advice, not realizing that in a past life, Li Changqing was also soone quite straightforward.
For his wife’s first birthday, Li Changqing actually gifted her a piece of wood.
He even explained that it was a very good piece of timber, causing his wife to turn and leave in anger. It was only thanks to an interdiary that she agreed to give Li Changqing another chance; otherwise, he might have ended up a bachelor in his past life.
But in front of Xue Qianbai, how could Li Changqing possibly admit that he was just as clueless?
"You went empty-handed?" Li Changqing couldn’t help but ask.
Going to confess without bringing anything, that’s truly bold. At least I had a piece of wood with .
"Uh." Xue Qianbai nodded stiffly; he indeed brought nothing.
"Alright, continue." Li Changqing helplessly waved his hand.
After Xue Qianbai finished his story, Li Changqing also fell silent before saying, "So, she still can’t forget her ’white moonlight’."
"What ’white moonlight’?" Xue Qianbai was taken aback.
"Qinyang is your ’white moonlight’; do you understand if I put it that way?" Li Changqing explained to Xue Qianbai.
"Oh, I get it now." Xue Qianbai nodded with a sense of realization.
"Don’t be too fixated." Li Changqing sighed lightly, "He’s been in the Black and White Forbidden Area for so many years; he might have long perished inside, or perhaps he can never co out. Actually, Qinyang is a good girl; she has promised to wait for him. If she were to abandon him, she wouldn’t be worth your affection either. If he truly cannot return from the Black and White Forbidden Area, Qinyang will eventually give up on him completely."
"And that’s when you’ll have a chance." Li Changqing patted Xue Qianbai on the shoulder in comfort.
"But what if he’s still alive?" Xue Qianbai currently felt a bit pessimistic.
"This..." Li Changqing paced a few steps, reluctantly saying, "The Black and White Forbidden Area hasn’t opened yet; not even Cangyuan Pavilion has any intelligence about it. So it’s hard for to investigate whether he’s alive or not; it’ll only be known when the Black and White Forbidden Area opens."
"Right, what’s his na? I can try to find so information about him, see if there’s any flaw." Li Changqing was also worried for his good friend.
"Feng Wulin." Xue Qianbai revealed the na of his love rival.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this na, Li Changqing directly froze.
"What, you know him?" Xue Qianbai poured himself a glass of wine, asking absentmindedly.
"Take a look at this." Li Changqing took out a sheet of paper from his storage ring and handed it to Xue Qianbai.
"What’s this?"
Xue Qianbai took it, curious. It featured nurous nas belonging to various factions.
"Six days ago, a branch of the Longevity Sect was exposed, surrounded and killed by several Ghost Race factions from the Cloud Wasteland. Among the items retrieved was this list, detailing potential returnees from the Black and White Forbidden Area."
"Look, there’s Feng Wulin’s na on it."
Li Changqing spoke calmly.
At this mont, Xue Qianbai looked down and indeed saw Feng Wulin’s na. As soon as he saw the intelligence following Feng Wulin’s na, he stood up with a face full of incredulity.
"Feng Wulin... is from the Longevity Sect?"
Xue Qianbai’s expression turned complicated.
"Feng Wulin’s original surna is Zhou; he was the son of Zhou Wanshu, an official of the Qinyang Dynasty. Later, Zhou Wanshu was involved in a coup, leading to the extermination of his family, but he entrusted his youngest son to his friend Feng Jincheng."
"At that ti, Feng Jincheng’s wife was about to give birth, but who knew the child wouldn’t survive, so Feng Wulin took his place, becoming Feng Jincheng’s son. When Feng Wulin grew up, he also discovered his true origins and joined the Longevity Sect, working for them."
"Back then, the Second Prince, who had the most hope of inheriting the throne, was assassinated, drowned in a pond, and it was Feng Wulin who did it."
"However, what I don’t understand is how Feng Wulin managed to enter the Black and White Forbidden Area at that ti, since it wasn’t supposed to be open then." Li Changqing was unclear about this point.
Gazing at the docunt in his hand, Xue Qianbai calmly said, "The Black and White Forbidden Area indeed takes a long ti to open once, but entering it doesn’t only happen when it’s open; however, to co out, it must be during the opening."
