Liu Chen and Xu Shao's battle at the banquet had greatly raised Liu Chen's reputation on Mount Jiuhua; everyone was talking about what sort of background this newly admitted junior brother had.

At that moment, he heard some noises outside, a clattering sound as if something had shattered, followed by a whiff of alcohol.
Liu Chen instinctively thought of his second senior brother.
