The dark light of the hall was flickering in the hall.
Even though it was a cold night in the late autumn, the flow of people in the wine pavilion would still not decrease. Most of them were cultivators, who had no need to sleep and didn't want to cultivate dryly, so they only came here to drink wine.
The deep blue liquor and the fiery red liquor seemed to be the main tone of this place, covering up all the other colours!
While drinking, everyone, regardless of whether they knew each other or not, could more or less chat a bit to relieve the loneliness on the path of cultivation.
In a corner, a single thin shadow, reflected on the wall under the faint ghostly light, looked so lonely. The shadow shook slightly, as if it was about to fall to the ground, but in the end, it finally supported itself.
"Brother Ao Fan, you are drunk." Gu Qingfeng, who was sitting opposite Ao Fan, narrowed his eyes and laughed.
Ao Fan smiled casually and slowly said, "Maybe."
Gu Qingfeng asked as he sipped his wine, "You can obviously use your Yuan Qi to evaporate the alcohol in your body, thus enabling you to stay sober no matter how much you drink, so why are you still drunk like this?"
He was very puzzled. He had come here early and drank even more alcohol than Ao Fan, but he had not been drunk, because he had been using his Yuan Qi to eliminate the alcohol.
Ao Fan smiled at his words and shook his head, "If that's the case, then why would I come here to drink?"
Gu Qingfeng was stunned and put away his playful face and asked, "But you have a sadness in your heart that is difficult to resolve, so you came here to drink to buy drunkenness?"
Ao Fan's hazy drunken eyes swept through the hall once and smiled, "Who in the world has no sorrow in their heart?"
Gu Qingfeng immediately stopped talking and agreed without words.
With that, Ao Fan did not intend to leave and continued to seek out the disciples of the Nine Swords Sect to buy sake from them, only to be told that the one day's worth of sake had already been sold out. He then changed his mind to buy spirits, yet it was no different.
At this, Ao Fan was quite helpless, but Gu Qingfeng handed him a few jars of sake!
Turns out, Gu Qingfeng has long been a regular customer here, the rules of this place are very well understood, has earlier bought a lot of sake, even if you drink to this moment, there is still a surplus.
Ao Fan thanked and took the wine, slowly drinking until dawn!
Even though the day had dawned, there was not the slightest change in the hall, it was still the same as usual. However, Ao Fan got up, thanked Gu Qingfeng once again, dispersed the wine and raised his steps to leave.
After him, Gu Qingfeng also left!
Returning to the inn, Ao Fan once again locked his guest room deeply, engaging in several days of mental fantasies, gradually improving the Seven Styles of Blood Battle to make it more and more suitable for him. But this situation only continued for a few days. Ten days later, he left the inn and went back into the wine pavilion to drink, and met Gu Qingfeng for the second time.
Both of them talked over wine, and their words grew more and more, unlike the first time they met where they only said a few sentences. This time, they both drank a lot, and Gu Qingfeng even stopped dispersing the alcohol, and was equally drunk with a red face.
Another night passed, they left at the same time this time, only to realise that the two were actually all temporarily living in the Welcome House. Ao Fan lives in the westernmost guest room on the third floor, and Gu Qingfeng lives in the easternmost guest room on the third floor. The two can be said to be very close, and they can also see each other in their leisure time.
Only, Ao Fan was studying the Seven Styles of Blood Battle for a few days before he would leave for the wine pavilion to get drunk for a night. Gu Qingfeng, however, goes to the Wine Pavilion every night, accompanied by wine.
Is he a cheerful person, or a melancholic person?
To him, Ao Fan slightly do not understand, only feel that this person seems to be untouched by the world, and bright temperament. But if you look with a more far-reaching gaze, but also found that this person seems to smile to cover up the pain.
In the end, Ao Fan shook his head helplessly, no longer think about it, and turned to fantasise about improved moves in his head.
The days that were as plain as water would eventually pass quickly!
Early one morning, the door of Ao Fan's guest room was finally knocked for the first time. In that instant, Ao Fan, who was immersed in his stance fantasies, was instantly awakened.
He took a deep breath, and there seemed to be sword flashes in his eyes. Only when the door was knocked again did he go forward and open the door to the room.
What fell into his eyes was a white-veiled young girl. Snow-white dress, lined with jade-like skin. Her face was covered with white veil, only a pair of autumn water-like eyes were exposed as she looked at Ao Fan.
"You have finally come." After Ao Fan was slightly stunned, he spoke out.
"That's right, I've come." The white veiled girl said with a light smile.
The person who came was none other than Yun Drunken Moon!
The two had not seen each other since they separated under the Sword Dao Mountain some time ago. Ao Fan had been within Freezing Mist Town, while Yun Drunken Moon was in the Nine Swords Sect.
During these days, while Ao Fan was immersed in fantasising about his moves, he was also hoping that Yun Drunken Moon would come soon and bring him to the Nine Swords Sect. He needed to go deeper into the Nine Swords Sect and enquire about the Nine Swords Sect's underpinnings.
He was not afraid that Yun Drunken Moon would not be able to find him!
The town closest to the Sword Dao Mountain was the Freezing Mist Town here. There was no doubt that Ao Fan would be waiting here, and Yun Drunken Moon could naturally guess that Ao Fan would come here.
Although there was a lot of foot traffic in Freezing Mist Town, it was not impossible for Yun Drunken Moon to find the Welcome Guest House.
As early as on their journey together to the Nine Swords Sect, they had already experienced all sorts of things, and each of them knew each other quite well. Ao Fan understood that Yun Drunken Moon would find him, so he did not leave an agreed address before leaving.
Cloud Drunken Moon is also the same, she knows Ao Fan is a person who loves wine, came to Freezing Mist Town naturally will not miss the wine in the wine pavilion. Since this was the case, it was very likely that Ao Fan was living in the nearest welcome building to the wine pavilion.
Holding this thought, Yun Drunken Moon came to the Welcome Guest House and asked the shopkeeper. In the case of Ao Fan's unique personality, the shopkeeper naturally remembered it well, and together with Yun Drunken Moon's description, he also found the guest room where Ao Fan was.
They had such a tacit understanding that they could still meet again even though they were far away from each other!
Ao Fan welcomed Yun Drunken Moon into the guest room, pushed open the old wooden window, and let the cold wind whistling in. There was even a piece of yellowish leaf that entered the guest room along with the breeze and landed on the only table.
Ao Fan and Yun Drunken Moon sat on both sides of the table, looking at each other.
"You came to Freezing Mist Town today, have you settled things in the Nine Swords Sect?" Ao Fan asked with a smile.
Yun Drunken Moon unwrapped her veil and smiled faintly. In front of Ao Fan, she no longer needed to use the veil to hide her true face. She said quietly, "That's right, now that I have solved all the idle things, I have fallen into a light body, so I came to look for you."
Ao Fan did not say much and went straight to the point, saying, "When we parted on that day, you had said that you would bring me into the Nine Swords Sect to have a look at it, I don't know whether this matter is false or not?"
Yun Drunken Moon lost her smile and said, "Do you want to enter my sect that much?"
Ao Fan smiled blandly and said, "The Nine Swords Sect is one of the three major cultivation sects in the southern region, so it must be different, and I think that no one in the world would want to go in and take a look at it, and I also hold this thought."
Yun Drunken Moon said with an undiminished smile, "There is no harm, I came here today, apart from meeting you, I wanted to ask you if you are willing to go with me to the Nine Swords Sect to have a look. I don't want you to have this idea yourself, which is exactly what I want."
Ao Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Is it true that your Nine Swords Sect will not refuse the entry of outsiders like me?"
Yun Drunken Moon shook her head and laughed, "How could it refuse? If someone who is not from this sect wants to enter this sect, they only need to be met by a disciple of this sect, and will not be refused entry."
