Monk Nan Jiu stared at Ye Lingyue’s liquor, his eyes almost popping out. He silently chanted to himself a hundred tis that he must not be tempted, but his mouth simply wouldn’t obey, as he couldn’t help but ask.
"Miss, what exactly is this liquor of yours, and how does it compare to the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew?"
"The Rainbow Five Treasures Brew? Hardly worth ntioning. The Vermilion Fruit Wine I’m holding is truly the world’s finest." Ye Lingyue took a sip.
"Miss, aren’t you being a bit too arrogant? The Rainbow Five Treasures Brew might not necessarily be inferior to what you have in hand." Monk Nan Jiu couldn’t accept it; seeing the young Ye Lingyue speaking such nonsense made him indignant.
"Master Nan Jiu, you are mistaken this ti. Only Ling Yue can judge the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew because she is the brewer of it." Feng Xun walked over and sat next to Ye Lingyue.
"What, the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew was brewed by this young lady?" Monk Nan Jiu was dumbfounded, his eyes nearly bulging out. "How is that possible? I’ve been brewing in this lifeti and never managed to make such fine wine. How can a girl barely in her teens have such remarkable ability? Even if she started learning to brew from the womb, it’s still impossible."
"Master, if you don’t believe it, you could try this Vermilion Fruit Wine. It’s the new wine I’ve brewed after the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew. However, Master, there is sothing I must say before you drink: after you drink my wine, you must agree to my condition." Ye Lingyue poured a cup of wine for Master Nan Jiu.
Ye Lingyue was never a straightforward person. On the contrary, she’s very clever.
The Hong ng Fang Venerate left Hong ng Heaven to her, which was of great help to her.
But the one who truly helped her the most was also a woman, the Jade Hand Poison Master.
The Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles of the Jade Hand Poison Master once said, "Strike the snake at its seven-inch point, and strike people at their vital point."
Different people have different vital points, and the thods to deal with them also vary.
Monk Nan Jiu is a libidinous monk; he fears neither heaven nor earth, and threats are useless against him.
But his weakness is his love for liquor. Faced with fine wine, he is like a lecher eting a peerless beauty. She doesn’t believe that with fine liquor in front of him, Monk Nan Jiu could still refuse.
Monk Nan Jiu hesitated.
His eyes glazed over as he fixed his gaze on the cup of wine in front of him.
Ye Lingyue’s wine is peerless in this world because she possesses the unique Hong ng Heaven.
From the original Five Treasures Brew to the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew and now the newly brewed Vermilion Fruit Wine, the quality of each wine has leaped dramatically.
The wine now placed before Monk Nan Jiu is made from Chaos Red Fruit.
These Vermilion Fruits were picked by her from the Vermilion Fruit Tree in the Xingxiu Cave, imbued with mysterious powers.
Originally, Ye Lingyue refined this wine inadvertently, but after the success of the brewing, she found that the potency of the Vermilion Fruit Wine is even superior to the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew.
The Vermilion Fruit Wine is fragrant and overflowing. Monk Nan Jiu’s heart is still struggling deeply.
"Master Nan Jiu, to be honest, my condition does not arise from a personal request. I rely hope that you can help a friend of mine, Long Baobao."
With that said, Ye Lingyue frankly revealed the grudge and feud between Long Baobao and Long Sixuan.
"Are you referring to the Long Family of Cang Country? It’s unexpected that the Artifact Refining noble family, the Long Family, would encounter such a serious crisis."
Monk Nan Jiu hadn’t expected that Ye Lingyue, after all the trouble, had asked him to visit not for herself but for soone else, and that person was neither kin nor related to her.
"Indeed, if the Master still does not believe, I can ask Long Baobao to co over and explain it to you personally. Last ti, during the preliminary competition, we encountered injustice. I believe Long Sixuan must have had other accomplices within Sifang City. So, we just hope the Master can uphold justice and when Long Baobao faces danger, lend him a hand." Ye Lingyue can still protect Long Baobao now.
But once they enter the final competition, she will need to refine the Nine Dragon Chant, by which ti she may be too busy to take care of herself, let alone protect Long Baobao.
But Monk Nan Jiu was different, as a judge, he would surely be able to observe all around him.
As the saying goes, the quality of the wine reflects the character of the person. Although Monk Nan Jiu was dissolute and untad, he was essentially upright and honest, otherwise, he would not have gained the Divine Worm Chongbao’s recognition. Just getting his word was enough for Ye Lingyue to believe that at the very least, Long Baobao’s safety could be ensured.
"If it’s just about looking after the little guy, I can agree to that. However, based purely on your one-sided story, I cannot fully trust you. Call the little one from the Long family over here, let ask him a few questions," Nan Jiu hesitated.
Speaking of which, he had t a few tis with the old Family Head of the Long Family, Long Huai.
If the Long family has really fallen into such misfortune, as an old friend, he should look after Long Baobao.
"Thank you, Master. I’ll go and bring Long Baobao over imdiately." Feng Xun and Ye Lingyue exchanged a gratified smile.
Earlier, Long Baobao ntioned he had thought of sothing about the World’s First Refining and went back to the inn with Little Corpse first.
Who would have thought, just as Feng Xun was about to stand up, he saw Little Corpse charging in like a bolt of lightning.
There was a trace of blood on its black fur.
Little Corpse was a Corpse Demon, its body and fur extrely tough. The fact it got injured...
Ye Lingyue realized sothing was wrong imdiately.
"Sothing’s wrong, the young master has been abducted." Little Corpse was wounded in several places, looking very wretched.
"Who did it? Was it Long Sixuan? He’s gone too far, dare to commit assault in Sifang City?" Ye Lingyue was furious, ready to rush out and settle the score with Long Sixuan.
"It wasn’t Long Sixuan. It was a strong middle-aged ugly woman; she kept saying the young master had killed her nephew and without a word, she injured and took the young master away." Even though Little Corpse had the strength of a Great Demon Level, it was still just a juvenile and was forced back after only a few moves against the ugly woman.
It still wanted to protect Long Baobao to the death, but was instructed by Long Baobao to imdiately go back and find Ye Lingyue and the others.
"Not Long Sixuan?" Ye Lingyue was even more puzzled.
Who else in Sifang City, besides Long Sixuan, would want Long Baobao dead?
"Ling Yue, Chen Mu’s junior brother An Yang is the nephew of the Sect Leader’s sworn daughter An Qiniang of the Hunyuan Sect. I’m afraid they took Long Baobao." Feng Xun, who was listening by the side, gave it so thought and quickly deduced the identity of the middle-aged ugly woman.
The Four Directions Token of An Yang was handed over by Long Baobao.
Most likely, people of the Hunyuan Sect must be under the impression that Long Baobao killed An Yang.
After the news traveled back to the Hunyuan Sect, An Qiniang, harboring hatred, took the opportunity to co and seek revenge.
"Outrageous, the Hunyuan Sect has truly beco lawless. We cannot let this matter drop just like that; we must seek justice from the Sifang City Lord." Ye Lingyue knew that the odds were bad with Long Baobao in An Qiniang’s hands, and without further ado, she and Feng Xun imdiately went to find the Sifang City Lord.
