Night,
A full moon hung in the sky, solitary and bright.
Zuixian Pavilion.
The bustling wine hall was filled with the sound of laughter and cheerful voices as girls with long sleeves danced gracefully on stage, and a group of scantily clad beauties roamed the hall.
Suddenly,
"Bang!!"
A violent crash from a wooden table silenced the boisterous wine hall in an eerie hush.
Then everyone heard,
"Absurd... Absurd! Xu Changge goes to Ancient Abyss, kills a mere snake demon and Crown Prince welcomes him into the Capital with a state ceremony!"
A scholar dressed in a Confucian robe fiercely slapped the table and stood up, his face slightly flushed, he muttered in a low voice.
As soon as the words were spoken, the great hall fell silent once more. Almost everyone turned to look at him.
His companion's eyelids twitched. He quickly pulled at the scholar's robe and said loudly,
"Ah, Brother Li, you're drunk, talking nonsense."
