The night was deep.
The Core Formation celebration had long since ended, and the guests had all gone their separate ways.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the day, the Evergreen Pavilion now seemed to suddenly exude an air of desolation.
Fang Xi sent away all the servant girls and took up a wine jug alone, gazing at the moon from the top of the pavilion.
Inside the jug was second-grade Green Bamboo Wine. Although the aroma of the wine was rich and the spiritual energy was not bad, the bitter taste just couldn't be dispelled.
But when Fang Xi took another sip, and savored it carefully, he felt that after the bitterness faded, there was a faintly returning sweetness.
"Sweetness after bitterness?"
"No wonder Xingling likes this wine..."
Fang Xi drank another cup, staring at the moon in a daze.
Ruan Xingling had gone out wandering, in search of an opportunity for Core Formation, which would inevitably not be in the three countries; she would head toward Yuan Country.
