Chapter 208: Traveling Together
"But I waited for him here for a month and he never came. Then I went to the Kunlun Sect to look for him and found out that there had been no news of him for more than a month."
When Lu Jianchi said this, his whole demeanor became noticeably somber.
"From then on, I searched for Brother Jin all over the country."
"Could it be that the old friend you were reminiscing about at the women's residence that day was Jin Youdao?"
Li Lianhua recalled the old friend he mentioned when he gave her wine at the women's residence last time.
Lu Jianchi nodded: "We agreed to have a duel on this day three years ago. Since then, I have waited for him here every year on this day and stayed here for a few days."
"I believe he would never break his promise." Lu Jianchi had great faith in Brother Jin's character.
"With your swift and skillful hands, you have earned a reputation as a chivalrous person; surely good fortune will come your way," Fang Duobing comforted him. This was truly a sad story.
"Yes, I believe that too. You gentlemen must have important business to attend to at this time, right?"
Lu Jianchi inquired about the purpose of their visit.
Fang Duobing: Can this be said so casually?
Li Lianhua: The topic changed too quickly; I haven't thought of a reason yet.
The sound of the flute: ...
south wind:···
The words paused in the air for three or four seconds, as if time had frozen. Seeing this, Wu You quickly picked up the words from the ground.
"Many years ago, we heard that Shishou Village was famous for its mellow and delicious wine that enhances the quality of 'Rouchang Yujiu' (a type of Chinese liquor), so we came here specifically for that reason."
Fang Duobing: Wu You, can you at least be a little more reliable when you're spouting nonsense? Who came here for that pot of wine?
"I always thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect you all to actually come here to investigate. But you don't seem like the kind of people who would still be exploring in these mountains at night just for the little bit of power that the Soft Jade Wine can increase."
Lu Jianchi: Is it really true that you can't judge a book by its cover? But I've taken a look and I'm sure I'm not wrong. Oh well, maybe they just don't want to say more.
Fang Duobing: Wu You, see? Nobody believes your reasoning.
“We came here specifically for that Tender Jade Wine.” Wu You’s words dispelled Lu Jianchi’s suspicions.
"Here's what happened. Our guard, Afei, accidentally went into a qi deviation while practicing martial arts, causing his blood and qi to surge, his meridians to flow backward, his martial arts skills to stagnate, and he even forgot what happened before."
Lu Jianchi: I witnessed the skill of this bodyguard Afei at the women's residence before. With such powerful martial arts, Afei is still said to be stagnant. How powerful he must have been in his prime!
"Now that I've heard about this Soft Heart Jade Wine, I'm thinking that the little bit of power I've gained might break the previous shackles and balance. Perhaps not only will my meridians be unblocked, but my memories might also be restored."
"That's why we rushed here. It's nighttime and we're still searching for the entrance to Shishou Village, but we still haven't found it."
Wu You: Today is another day of writing stories.
Di Feisheng: Did I really lose my memory because I went into a qi deviation while practicing martial arts? But then she asked me if I should believe her.
Li Lianhua: Your reaction speed is almost as fast as mine.
Fang Duobing: Ah, this... So Wu You is such a liar. Did he fool me like this before?
Nanfeng: That's right.
"Brother Lu, although we have different goals, we are both in these mountains now, so why don't we travel together?"
Fang Duobing invited, "After all, if Brother Lu were here, he probably wouldn't listen to everything Wu You said, right?"
Moreover, this place is quite eerie, so having one more person here would provide extra safety.
