Lan Jue stepped out of the Jewelry shop out on to the Avenue. The Gothic Winery was only a few feet down the lane. The walk was short, but the familiarity and comfort of home helped put his mind at ease.
Lan Jue was a little surprised to find the Wine Master waiting for him in the foyer. He welcome him in with a smile. “Thank you.”
“Eh?” Lan Jue blinked. “Why so cordial?”
“Come with me and you’ll find out,” the Wine Master cryptically replied.
Lan Jue chuckled. “Well whatever the reason you can keep your thanks. I’ll take a bottle of wine.”
This made the Wine Master chortle, too. “Fine, then we’ll share a bottle later. Whenever you have time.”
Lan Jue was well and truly shocked, but he kept it to himself. He followed the Paragon deeper in to the Winery.
