Chapter 144: The Spear Immortal bids farewell to Xiaoli, and the wine hangs at the highest point of
Tianqi City, Diaolou Building, East Street.
The bright moon in the sky is unusually bright today, reflecting the bustling night market in Tianqi City, which makes people yearn for it.
A pair of young men came out from the small watchtower. Sikong Changfeng was holding a silver moon spear and dressed like a wanderer.
Baili Dongjun held a wine gourd in each hand and poured the remaining seven bottles of starry night wine into his own mutton-fat jade gourd.
"Dong Jun, the assassin inside is probably coming for you!"
"And that Qing Wang sitting on the second floor, I don't think he's a good guy!"
Sikong Changfeng looked a little worried.
Baili Dongjun looked calm:
"So what if it's Qing Wang? He was frightened by Brother Yun last time!"
"There's no need to worry. They're just a few thieves who haven't entered the country yet. Leave it to Junior Brother Ruofeng to handle."
As the two of them walked out of the main gate of the Diaolou, they heard a voice behind them:
"Master Baili, your Seven Starry Night Wine is so magical, and I haven't tasted it yet! How could you forget about me?"
When the words reached the ears of the two, Yin Luoxia also flashed in front of Baili Dongjun, blocking his way with a sweet smile on her face.
Baili Dongjun weighed the wine gourd in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed:
"Sister Luoxia, this wine is for Master. How about next time...definitely?"
Yin Luoxia deliberately pretended to be unhappy:
"Next time? I guess that may not be the case next time, right?"
While the two were talking, a teasing voice came from behind:
"Hey, Dongba, you still have some conscience. You brew good wine and still remember your master. I am very pleased!"
The three of them looked at the same time and saw Li Changsheng sitting on the shaft of a carriage, driving a horse-drawn carriage slowly towards them.
Baili Dongjun held the wine gourd in his hand and stepped to the side of the carriage:
"Master, why are you here?"
Li Changsheng smiled kindly, glanced at the pot of seven-year-old Qiu Lu Bai in Baili Dongjun's hand and said with a smile:
"Good job, you scored twice?"
"Last time, your cousins took away the bottle of twelve-year-old wine, and today they took away this bottle of seven-year-old wine as well..."
"Aren't you afraid that Master Xie will hate you?"
Baili Dongjun raised his eyebrows:
"Master, you are wrong. This is the wine I won fair and square. The three wine tasters unanimously declared me the winner!"
"Sikong Changfeng, Junior Brother Yin, you all saw it!"
Sikong Changfeng and Yin Luoxia nodded at the same time.
Li Changsheng lifted one leg and placed it on the shaft of the cart:
"Then the other pot is left for Master?"
Baili Dongjun put away his arrogant expression and approached Li Changsheng with a grin:
"Master, I specially left a few sips for you, don't think it's too little... After all, this wine emptied out all of Sikong Changfeng's belongings!"
Li Changsheng was quite curious when he heard him say this:
"Oh? You used the money of the little gun fairy to make this wine?"
Sikong Changfeng clasped his fists and said:
"Sir, you misunderstood. This wine has been added with many rare medicinal herbs. They are all... all brought from Medicine King Valley by me!"
After hearing about Medicine King Valley, Li Changsheng suddenly realized:
"So, since I can give you such precious medicinal herbs, your relationship with Xin Baicao must be quite special!"
Sikong Changfeng was a little embarrassed to say that he was Xin Baicao's medicine boy, so he could only stammer:
"This... this is all thanks to Senior Wen Hujiu's introduction. I was able to go to Yaowang Valley for treatment."
Li Changsheng said nothing more. He took the wine gourd from Baili Dongjun and sniffed it gently. Suddenly, his eyes lit up:
"Dong Ba, there's such a strong medicinal aroma in here? Could it be that... your Confucian Immortal Master also passed on his medicinal wine to you?"
When Baili Dongjun heard the name of "Confucian Immortal", he felt sad and shook his head:
"No, it was the inspiration I gained from the Wine Classic given to me by Senior Brother Xie Xuan that allowed me to brew this pot of Seven Starry Night Wine."
Li Changsheng nodded in appreciation, raised his head and took a sip, then smacked his lips and said:
"Good wine! Good strength!"
"Dongba, just for this pot of Seven Starry Night Wine, you will definitely become a wine immortal in the future!"
After saying that, Li Changsheng drank the remaining wine in the jug without hesitation and savored it with his eyes narrowed.
Baili Dongjun was overjoyed to receive the recognition from the best in the world:
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely live up to your words!"
Sikong Changfeng and Yin Luoxia behind him were also sincerely happy for Baili Dongjun, but Sikong Changfeng already knew that Baili Dongjun was about to leave Tianqi with Li Changsheng.
The two had just reunited and were about to part again, and a wave of sadness came over them.
Li Changsheng opened his eyes and glanced at Sikong Changfeng:
"Little Spear Fairy, why do you look unhappy?"
When Sikong Changfeng was asked this question, his face suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head and said:
"No, no, sir, you're joking."
How could Baili Dongjun not know what he was thinking? He grabbed the wine bag from Sikong Changfeng's waist and drank half of the pot of seven-year-old Autumn Dew White.
"Sikong Changfeng, this wine bag was given to you by me when we parted last time. I'll give you half of it. Just consider it a gift to you!"
Sikong Changfeng's eyes sparkled, and he tightly grasped the wine bag handed over by Baili Dongjun:
"You guys...are you really just leaving like this?"
Baili Dongjun put his hand on Sikong Changfeng's shoulder, his tone somewhat reluctant:
"We will definitely meet again, and when we do, I will be famous all over the world! Sikong Changfeng, remember to take your medicine on time, and don't lose to me then!"
Sikong Changfeng smiled brightly:
"Don't worry, I won't lose then!"
The two tall young men looked at each other, and Li Changsheng, who was sitting in the carriage, felt a lot of envy in his heart.
Yin Luoxia stood behind Baili Dongjun and silently looked at the two loyal young men.
After a while, Li Changsheng urged:
"Alright, Dongba, my little disciple, it's time for us to set off!"
"Little Spear Fairy, we will see each other again!"
Sikong Changfeng took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said:
"It's a long way to go, let's say goodbye now!"
"Mr. Dong, Mr. Li, and Miss Yin, take care!"
After saying that, Sikong Changfeng picked up the Silver Moon Spear and strode away into the prosperous Apocalypse City.
"Dong Jun, your friend the little spear fairy is very talented. When the time is right, Master will also accept him as his own..."
"As Guan Guan Guan Guan's disciple, hahaha!"
Li Changsheng looked at Sikong Changfeng's departing back and said to Baili Dongjun with a big laugh.
Baili Dongjun glanced at her little mouth:
"Master...I think you will never be able to close this door in this lifetime!"
Yin Luoxia also smiled:
"Master Baili, what you said makes sense!"
Li Changsheng winked and said:
"Why, shouldn't being my, Li Changsheng's, disciple be the lifelong wish of all martial artists in the world?"
Baili Dongjun helped Yin Luoxia get on the carriage and said teasingly:
"Really? Then why didn't he agree to take my cousin in?"
"Also... Senior Brother Xie Xuan didn't seem to agree..."
Li Changsheng was rarely criticized for his weakness. He waved his sleeves and raised his head and said:
"Humph! They are not that lucky. They will regret it someday!"
Sitting in the carriage, Baili Dongjun opened the pot of aged Autumn Dew White, and the fragrance of peach blossoms immediately filled the carriage.
Thinking of his "passing away" master, the Confucian Immortal Gu Chen, Baili Dongjun felt a little sad. Thinking of the agreement he had made with his master, he asked:
"Sir, where is the highest point in Apocalypse City?"
Li Changsheng drove the carriage and replied:
"Of course it's the 32nd Chamber of the Imperial Music Bureau!"
Baili Dongjun held the wine gourd and replied solemnly:
"Master, let's go to the Thirty-Second Pavilion of the Music Academy. I want to fulfill a wish."
Li Changsheng flicked the reins in his hand and laughed:
"As you command, good disciple!"
The three of them sat in a carriage, chatting and laughing as they rode under the moonlight towards the 32nd Pavilion of the Music Bureau.
