Ti flies by quickly!
In a blink, it has been three months since Chen Xuan ca to this tavern.
During this ti, he and Huang Fei have also beco familiar with each other.
At this mont, at the gate of a small courtyard, Chen Xuan holds two jugs of wine in his arms.
"Uncle Huang, it’s Little Niu, are you ho?"
Chen Xuan shouted loudly inside.
A mont later,
"Creak..." the gate opened, and Huang Fei stood there, smiling broadly, "What brings you to Uncle Huang’s place today?"
"Uncle got so good wine and asked to bring you two jugs to taste!"
Chen Xuan was hugging the two jugs, looking quite strained.
"Co on, give them to . You’re really weak compared to Old Niu, hasn’t he been feeding you?"
Huang Fei’s eyes lit up at the ntion of good wine.
He imdiately took the two jugs from him.
"No, no, although Uncle has a bad temper, he’s very good to ."
"It’s just that my body is too weak."
Chen Xuan deliberately shook his arms, "These two jugs are just too heavy!"
"Haha, co in, Uncle Huang has so good food here, eat sothing before you leave!"
During this ti, Chen Xuan’s behavior had completely put Huang Fei at ease, and now their relationship was like that of an uncle and nephew.
Not only that,
Chen Xuan usually behaved in a very filial manner.
This made Huang Fei gradually start liking him.
"Oh, there’s good food, then I must try it!"
"Let’s go!"
The two entered the courtyard and went into the house.
After placing the two jugs on the table, Huang Fei said, "Wait a mont, I’ll get it for you."
Then he headed toward the inner room.
Chen Xuan stood there, curiously looking around.
There was nothing but a table and chairs.
Oh, and several empty jugs on the ground.
Really simple.
A mont later, Huang Fei ca out from the inner room, holding a piece of blood-red at.
"This is demon beast at!"
Sensing the faint spiritual power emanating from the at, though weak, it was clearly perceivable.
"Take it, this stuff is good for you, it can boost your strength."
Chen Xuan took it, examined it curiously, and then looked at Huang Fei, "Uncle Huang, what kind of at is this? It doesn’t feel like pork or beef, it’s so fragrant! Not a trace of fishiness!"
"Hahaha..."
Huang Fei was amused by his expression, "Of course, you wouldn’t recognize it!"
"This is good stuff, it will make you stronger if you eat it."
"And, you should only eat a piece the size of a finger at a ti, don’t eat too much, or you won’t need to eat for days! It will also bloat your stomach!"
Huang Fei reminded him.
"What? A piece the size of a finger? And it bloats your stomach!"
Chen Xuan was imdiately shocked, and even a bit bewildered.
"Alright, alright, would Uncle Huang harm you? And here’s sothing else for you!"
Saying that he took out a white bottle from his pocket and handed it to him, "One pill a day, it can improve your physique!"
Chen Xuan looked at the bottle in his hand, opened it to peek inside, then looked up at him.
He had a hesitant look on his face.
"If you want to say sothing, just say it, don’t be hesitant like a woman. No wonder Old Niu often scolds you!"
Huang Fei glared at him.
"Uncle Huang..." Chen Xuan leaned in and whispered, "Are you the master the storyteller often ntions?"
"Oh..."
Huang Fei was a bit surprised and then asked, "How did you figure that out?"
"The storyteller said masters eat this... what’s it called... oh, elixir! Can Uncle Huang fly? The storyteller said those masters can fly!"
Chen Xuan gestured as if flying.
"Hahahaha..."
Huang Fei was imdiately amused and burst out laughing, finding Chen Xuan increasingly pleasing to the eye.
But then he sighed.
His expression beca lancholy.
"What’s wrong, Uncle Huang?"
Chen Xuan, feeling the sudden change, asked.
"Ah, if only I had a nephew like you, you see how Old Niu is alone and when he gets old, you can take care of him. Sotis I really envy him, being an ordinary person is nice too."
His eyes were filled with envy.
"Then I’ll take care of you in your old age!"
Chen Xuan said with a smile and clear eyes, which deeply moved Huang Fei.
"Good, good, good!"
Huang Fei nodded continuously, his eyes a bit moist.
Orphaned since childhood, he later unintentionally ca across the Martial Dao. Though his talent was diocre, he managed to cultivate to the first-grade realm, but he spent his whole life in cultivation.
He never experienced ordinary life.
He knew nothing about family affection.
This ti, having offended soone, he was assigned to a remote place like Daning County.
The Ning Family had no communication.
Moreover, he suspected that even if the Ning Family appeared, no one would inform him, so he couldn’t leave Daning County either.
Thus,
he dared not leave.
Because leaving Daning County without permission would an death!
So,
a lifelong lover of wine, he simply numbed himself every day.
As ti went on, he too thought of just growing old and dying here in Daning County.
Unexpectedly, he t Niu Yu during this ti, at first as drinking buddies, but later found that his temperant suited him. Over ti, they beca close.
And then there’s this kid.
Really not bad, although a bit silly at tis, but that sentence "I’ll take care of you in your old age" really hit the weak spot in his heart.
"Co, don’t rush off, keep Uncle Huang company for a drink today!"
"Okay!"
Chen Xuan imdiately nodded, sensing the change in Huang Fei’s mood.
Perhaps... today there will be so gains.
For such a long ti, although their relationship was decent, apart from that one ti being drunk and saying sothing afterward, Huang Fei was still very cautious.
Huang Fei took out so of the cooked food left over from yesterday.
Then he took out two bowls, "Co, sit down and have a drink with Uncle Huang!"
Chen Xuan cleverly opened a jar of the wine he just brought and filled both bowls to the brim.
"Uncle Huang, I toast to you!"
Chen Xuan raised his bowl, but the mont the wine entered his mouth,
"Cough cough cough..."
"So spicy!"
"Hahaha..."
Huang Fei laughed loudly, "This wine is good wine, but it’s also strong wine. You’ve never had it before, just sip a little."
"How was I supposed to know this wine was so spicy!"
Chen Xuan imdiately pulled a bitter face.
"Alright, don’t drink anymore. Eat so of this and just chat with ."
Huang Fei straightforwardly took his bowl and drained it in one go, "Good wine!"
He shouted.
Not satisfied, he downed the wine in his own bowl in one go.
"Refreshing! Old Niu’s wine is really strong!"
For a drunkard, strong wine is the first choice, the stronger the better.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly filled the bowls again.
But this ti, Huang Fei did not rush to drink, instead, his expression beca complicated.
Then he looked at Chen Xuan, "Do you want to hear a story?"
"Mm!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "I love hearing stories the most!"
"Mm! Then listen well."
After finishing a bowl, he began to speak.
....
Huang Fei started from his childhood, then unexpectedly caught soone’s attention and was introduced to Martial Dao.
He was considered to have average talent, but what counted was his diligence.
Over more than two hundred years, he also cultivated to the first grade.
Later, he joined the rMolan Mansion and beca a leader among the City Guards.
But because of a certain incident later, he offended his superior, the City Defense Commander.
His best brother in this life spoke up for him and contradicted this commander, and in the end, they both ended up in the sa fate.
Huang Fei felt extrely guilty in his heart.
Because his good brother originally had a bright future.
But everything changed because he said a few words for him, and in the end...
This is why, after coming to Daning County, he has always sealed himself off, using alcohol to drown his sorrows every day.
Just wanting to be drunk every day, not thinking about this matter.
"Then why did Uncle Huang co here?"
Chen Xuan asked in confusion.
"Mm...."
At this mont, Huang Fei hesitated, as if pondering whether to speak.
While Chen Xuan was extrely anxious inside.
"Co on, big brother!"
"You should just tell , I’ve been with you for so many days, it’s fair to say I’ve been sincere!"
"It’s not easy for either!"
...
But on the surface, he dared not show a hint of strangeness.
Fearing that Huang Fei might beco suspicious.
"Forget it!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan’s heart felt like it was being clenched by a hand.
Done for!
His current feeling was as if at the mont of climax, suddenly wilting.
"Anyway, you wouldn’t understand, doesn’t matter if I tell you or not!"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan felt at ease.
Though he really wanted to knock so sense into Huang Fei, he truly was sothing, ssing with him like this.
Huang Fei looked at Chen Xuan and asked, "Have you heard of the Ning Family?"
But then he laughed.
Muttering to himself, "How could you have heard of the Ning Family? My brain, must be drunk silly!"
"Uncle Huang, which family is the Ning Family, are they from Daning County?"
Chen Xuan deliberately asked in this way.
"Hehe!"
Huang Fei’s rough big hand patted his head and laughed, "Little Daning County can’t accommodate the Ning Family!"
"But—"
The smile on his face instantly disappeared, and his expression beca solemn.
"Even such a huge entity, with Marquis Ning so formidable! The Ning Family vanished just like that."
But at this mont, Chen Xuan acted as if he didn’t quite understand and asked, "Why? Didn’t you say that Marquis Ning or sothing was very formidable?"
"Couldn’t he protect the Ning Family?"
"You’re too young to understand!" Huang Fei shook his head, then continued, "When you’re betrayed by the person you trust most, you’ll understand, sotis you feel so powerless!"
"I don’t get it, Uncle Huang, you’re making more and more confused."
Seeing Chen Xuan’s bewildered look, Huang Fei’s eyes held a touch of envy.
Sotis knowing less isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Like how he accidentally learned about this incident, but even knowing, he forced himself to forget it.
After all, once people discovered it, it would be the end for him.
If it weren’t for the reappearance of Ning Family mbers this ti, he probably never wanted to think of this matter again.
"But, Uncle Huang, you said so much yet didn’t explain why you ca here?"
"You kid, looks like you really didn’t understand a thing!"
"Hahaha...."
Seeing his silly appearance, Huang Fei burst into laughter.
