Unexpected treasure! The man in the building!

  "Is it you again? You're an outer sect disciple, what are you doing here?"

  After Tang Xin registered, she took the newly issued jade card to the Fen Yi Institute to pick up the clothes for the inner door disciples. However, the voices coming from in front made her look up, and she saw three women standing in front of her, wearing white robes. The middle one was the woman she had met on the mountain that day. She slightly lowered her head to glance at her own green robe, as today was her first day reporting for duty, so she still wore the outer door disciple's green robe. The distinction between green and white robes, and between outer and inner door disciples, was clear at a glance.

  "Do I know you?" She looked at the woman in confusion, her eyes full of incomprehension, as if she had completely forgotten her.

  "Hum! How dare you speak to me like that? You're just an outer sect disciple, why don't you show some respect and courtesy when you see us?" The condescending tone and arrogant demeanor were extremely off-putting.

  Tang Xin smiled lightly: "I'm walking my own path, and I'm not blocking you. If you didn't come to stop me, we wouldn't have met, would we? Since we haven't met, why do you need to ask how I am?" Her voice paused, and she swept a glance at the three of them: "Besides, who says that when I see you, I have to lower my head and ask how you are?"

  Around them, many disciples stopped and sized them up, some standing by to watch, others pointing and whispering, but no one approached.

  "When outer disciples see our inner disciples, they must pay their respects and greet them. This is courtesy and discipline. If you don't comply, it means you're not taking us inner disciples seriously!" The woman slightly raised her chin, looking at her with disdain and arrogance.

  "You're just an outer sect disciple, what are you doing coming into the inner sect? Don't you know that this isn't a place where someone like you can come?"

  "Just let you pay your respects and be done with it, why bother saying so much nonsense?" The two people standing beside the woman also spoke up, casting similarly disdainful glances at Tang Xin's body, as if being an outer sect disciple was inherently inferior.

  Tang Xin gave them a glance, too lazy to speak with them, and walked forward. But unexpectedly, the three of them blocked her way. She raised an eyebrow, a faint smile on her lips, but her eyes were cold and serious as she swept a glance over the three people in front of her: "What do you want?"

  "Let's go and pay our respects! And you, you've offended us, you must apologize!" The girl in the middle raised her chin proudly, looking down at her with a slight glance.

  She raised her eyes, with a calm and serene expression, gazing at her with a hint of a smile. Suddenly, she caught sight of the white figure walking towards them from the front, and upon closer inspection, it was the same cold and stern man she had seen on the mountain that day.

  "Ah! Look quickly, Palace Master is here!"

  The woman's hysterical cry attracted everyone's attention. Even the three men who were blocking Tang Xin turned around to look.

  Inner disciples, all wear white robes, and Gong Yi is no exception at this time. Due to his outstanding appearance and cold temperament, plus his extraordinary strength, he became a legendary figure in the Southern Immortal Gate in just a few days after entering the sect. He is a respected figure among male disciples and an object of admiration for female disciples.

  "Gong big brother, how did you come?" The originally proud girl like a peacock became gentle as a sheep when she saw Gong Yue, happily coming to his side, wanting to get close but not daring to really touch him, because she knew he didn't like others touching him.

  Gong Huai's gaze swept over the crowd, falling on a blue-clothed woman who stood out among the white-robed disciples. He recognized her - the woman from that day.

  The man she secretly admired didn't even glance at her, instead looking at that outer sect disciple. Lu Qiu's face immediately fell, and she glared at Tang Xin, saying: "Palace Big Brother, that outer sect disciple is so rude, not only did he ignore me, but he also looked down on me! How dare he be so presumptuous!"

  She gave her a glance, didn't even bother to talk to her, and walked forward. However, she didn't want to cause trouble, but someone deliberately came to find her.

  "Who allowed you to leave?" Lu Qiu stepped forward a few steps and blocked her way again.

  "Get out of the way."

  "What's wrong with you?" She looked at her provocatively.

  She raised her eyes, looking at the proud girl in front of her, a hint of impatience appeared in her eyes: "A good dog doesn't block the way, get out of my way!" What's wrong with this woman? Why is she blocking her way for no reason?

  "How dare you call me a dog!" Lu Qiu was furious, raised his hand and slapped her: "See if I don't beat you to death!"

  On the side, Gong Yujing stood quietly, silently watching this scene. Her cold and indifferent gaze swept across a dark light, falling on Tang Xin's body. Lu Qiu was not her opponent; from the day she entered the immortal gate, he knew she was not simple. He thought this woman would also enter the inner gate, but unexpectedly, she spent money to directly enter the outer gate, even skipping the test.

  At that slap, Tang Xin's eyes narrowed and he stretched out his hand to pull over a girl beside him to block himself. With a loud smack, both the slapped girl and Lu Qiu were stunned.

  "What, how is it you?"

  The girl who was hit stared blankly for a while, and it took her half a moment to come back to herself. She turned around and rushed towards Tang Xin: "You dare to use me as a shield! You got me beaten!"

  Looking at the two of them pouncing on Tang Xin together, the disciples around them, whether male or female, were all stunned. What's going on here? But for an outer sect disciple, why did it take two people to teach him a lesson? Moreover, these two seemed to have not gained any advantage yet.

  Seeing the two of them making a racket without end, Tang Xin furrowed her brow: "Do you really think I'm easy to bully?" As soon as her voice fell, a hint of evil light flashed in her clear eyes. She glanced at the white dresses on the two of them and a sly smile played on her lips.

  Her palm moved slightly, and a stream of spiritual energy surged out. Two streams of water converged in her palm, and a green figure swiftly flashed behind the two women. Her hand covered their heads, and the two streams of water poured down from above, soaking them both thoroughly.

  "Ah!"

  The two women shrieked, their hair disheveled by the icy water that gushed out of T'ang Hsin's body in a torrent, not a small stream, but a large one, like a bucket of water poured over their heads, leaving them stunned and screaming in dismay.

  The surrounding famous disciples were stunned, and two inner door disciples were actually bullied by an outer door disciple? Looking at the blue-clothed woman with her hands pressed on the heads of the two men, water gushed out from her palms, while the two inner door disciples could only jump up and down and scream, seemingly unable to escape as if they were being suppressed by a spiritual energy.

  Beside him, Gong Yi's indifferent gaze flickered, looking at the cyan figure, seeing her lips slightly hooked, but her eyes were cold and calm. Under her palm, Lu Qiu and another female disciple couldn't retreat, this scene made his eyes even more contemplative.

  What kind of person is this woman?

  "Ah...... let me go...... let go......"

  One loud shout, but it was a mouthful of water that had been spat out. The surrounding disciples didn't dare to come forward, they were all scared by this scene. Her clothes were soaked through, and the curves of her body were also exposed in front of everyone. However, looking at the two people's disheveled hair and ferocious expressions, it made the male disciples lose their desire to appreciate the view.

  It's about time, Tang Xin withdrew her hand and glanced at the two of them with a calm tone: "This is a lesson for you, next time you see me, it's best to stay far away, otherwise, I really don't know what I'll do."

  "You!"

  Lu Qiu's body shook with rage, she brushed aside her disheveled hair and pointed at Tang Xin: "You, an outer sect disciple, dare to be so disrespectful to us? I'll go to the Executive Court to report you! Get you kicked out of Nan Xian Men!"

  "Is that so?" She glanced at her with a hint of disdain, pulling out a jade token from her sleeve that represented her status as an inner sect disciple and waved it in front of her: "Take a good look, I'm also an inner sect disciple. You've blocked my way for no reason, delayed me, humiliated me, and provoked me without cause. Those who provoke others without cause will be severely punished, isn't that also one of the rules of the Southern Immortal Sect's inner sect?" As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and tore off the token with her name on it from Lu Qiu's waist, raising an eyebrow: "Lu Qiu? You can just wait for the punishment of the Law Enforcement Elder!" With that, she tossed the jade token back at her and turned to leave.

  This scene left everyone stunned for a long time, how did she have the jade token representing the inner door disciple's identity? Isn't she an outer door disciple? How did she become an inner door disciple?

  "Ah! I remember now, Yun Feng accepted an outer sect disciple as a direct disciple, and it was a girl named Tang Tang. Could it be her?"

  "Now that you mention it, it seems possible. She was wearing the outer disciple's uniform but holding an inner disciple's jade token. Who else could it be besides her?"

  "But what's the origin of this Tang Tang? I heard she just entered Nán Xiān Mén a few days ago, how did she get promoted from an outer door disciple to an inner door disciple, and still a direct disciple under Cloud Peak's master?"

  "Who knew, I've only heard that he was just an assistant in the alchemy lab, but somehow caught the eye of Yunfeng."

  Listening to the disciples' words, Gong Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he paused for a moment before turning around and leaving. Lu Qiu saw that he didn't even glance at her, and she couldn't help but redden her eyes and shout: "Big Brother Gong! Are you just going to watch me being bullied like this?! Big Brother Gong!" However, the indifferent Gong Yi didn't even turn his head back once.

  After taking the clothes of the inner door disciple, Tang Xin changed into a white dress and went to Snow Peak. Entering Snow Peak also required reporting one's identity and registering, but she didn't go in, instead letting the registration staff inform someone for her. Before long, Gu Tianyun came hurrying over.

  "Dangdang! I heard you've been taken in by Yunfeng, and I was just thinking of going to find you! And here you are." She happily grasped her hand, spinning around with her, gazing at the white dress on her body, teasingly laughing: "Dangdang, you look great in a white dress too! Look, this temperament is so clean, why did you always wear green clothes before?"

  "I'm used to it, whatever I wear is the same. Oh right, Tianyin, I came to ask you if you want to go down the mountain and take a stroll together?"

  "Going down the mountain?"

  "Uh, I plan to go down the mountain to buy some things, Master has already approved it, do you want to come together?" She plans to go to the city to see if there are any tripod furnaces for sale, and when she learns alchemy, it will be more convenient.

  As soon as she heard about going down the mountain to stroll, she became energetic and nodded: "Go! Of course go, you wait, I'll go back and tell my master, and come back right away." She said that and ran inside, seeing her like this, Tang Xin couldn't help but smile.

  After leaving the South Immortal Gate and walking for another three hours, they arrived at An City. An City is close to the South Immortal Gate, so in addition to daily necessities, there are many more spiritual medicine seeds and other things sold here compared to other towns. There is also a Zhenbao Xuan, a place that sells magical instruments, which is exactly where Tang Xin came down the mountain this time.

  "Tang Tang, look, that's the Treasure Pavilion over there. I came here last time and took a look around. There are really many things inside, including many ritual objects, but they're very expensive. Ordinary people can't afford them at all." Tian Yin said, pulling her towards the inside.

  There were guests coming in, and they were wearing the clothes of the inner disciples of Nan Xianmen. The shopkeeper smiled and welcomed them: "Two ladies, what would you like to see?"

  "Shopkeeper, do you have any tripod furnaces?" Tang Xin asked, looking around and seeing that the store was filled with many precious instruments, among which various shapes of spatial rings were the most numerous.

  "Tripod furnace? Hehe, Miss is really lucky, tripod furnaces are rarely sought after by people, and we usually only display two here. Someone bought one recently, so there's still one left. Come take a look, Miss." He smiled and led them to the other side, taking out a fist-sized tripod furnace: "This tripod furnace is a low-grade artifact, please take a look, Miss."

  Tang Xin took it and examined it, seeing that the cauldron had three legs, its body was ancient bronze, with a lid on top, and there were several talismans on the body of the cauldron. It looked simple, but as a magical instrument, it would normally recover its original shape once spiritual energy was infused into it.

  "Shopkeeper, I've brought some good stuff for you. Come take a look at my goods this time." A man walked in with big strides, beaming with joy, and from his tone of speaking with the shopkeeper, they seemed to be quite familiar.

  "Zhang Da, I'm in the middle of doing business! You wait for a moment." The shopkeeper hinted, giving him a glance.

  The man saw this and looked at Tang Xin, then said: "Alright, you two sit for a while, I'll go first." He walked to the side where he was receiving guests and sat down to rest.

  "Shopkeeper, you say this is a treasure trove, but there's only one low-grade tripod furnace like this. It's not even worth choosing!" Tang Xin played with the tripod furnace in his hand, his eyes scanning around the store.

  After hearing this, the shopkeeper chuckled and said: "Miss, this tripod furnace is only needed by alchemists who refine elixirs. Ordinary disciples of alchemy use ordinary furnaces for refining elixirs, so they don't need this kind of artifact at all. Hehe, it's a bit expensive, but miss, the things here are all made by high-level refiners, even the two alchemists from the South Immortal Gate use the tripod furnaces from my place. These tripod furnaces generally don't need to be carefully selected, except for the difference in grade, everything else is the same."

  "But you don't have much here either! Just this one, there's nothing to compare it with!" Gu Tianyun also spoke up, taking the tripod from Tang Xin's hand: "Is your family the only one in this city? Or do you have other goods elsewhere?"

  The man who was sitting on the side listening to them talk saw that they were looking at the tripod, so he stood up and said: "Boss, I brought a tripod for you today, do you want to take a look?"

  Tang Xin raised an eyebrow, seemingly smiling yet not quite, as she gazed at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, didn't you just say that everything here was crafted by high-level artifact refiners? How is it that there are also external purchases? Could it be that you bought some goods outside and placed them in this Treasure Pavilion, then claimed they were all made by high-level artifact refiners?"

  "This..." The shopkeeper glared at the man and turned back to smile apologetically, "Miss, you don't know, he's a peddler who often brings some goods back for me to sell here. We, Zhenbao Xuan, also make a small profit from it. After all, our prices are relatively high, this is just a convenience we provide to cater to different customers."

  "Oh? Then, he just said there's a tripod furnace for sale, I wonder if it can be taken out for a look?"

  "No problem." The shopkeeper smiled and said to Hanzi: "Zhang Da, didn't you say you brought something? Take it out and let the two girls take a look."

  "Alright! This time I was passing by Taobao and saw that it looked good, so I bought it back. You guys take a look." He said, taking out a cauldron with yellow soil from his Qiankun bag and placing it on the table: "You see, this cauldron is unknown what kind of cauldron it is, but there are two dragons wrapped around its body, and this cauldron is not ordinary ancient copper, but bronze. You see, based on my many years of experience in digging up things outside, I believe this is definitely a good thing."

  Tang Xin walked closer and indeed saw two dragons in the cauldron, but they were stained with yellow soil and not very clear. The bronze body of the cauldron looked very ancient, but there were no spell arrays or imprints on it, making it look ordinary yet extraordinary at the same time.

  "This tripod is also said to be a good thing? Look, not even those formations or whatever are present, and it's all just dirt, like someone threw it away in the soil. This tripod body is indeed rare bronze, but it's too simple, nothing at all, what kind of tripod furnace is this?" Gu Tianyin curled her lips, disdaining the tripod without a single redeeming feature.

  When it was said that the shopkeeper also took a look, indeed, apart from two dragons on top, there was nothing else. He couldn't help but twitch his mouth: "Zhang Da, don't blame the girl for saying so. Look at this treasure you've brought back, it really doesn't look like a Ding furnace at all. There's not even a formation or anything. I reckon even if it were a Ding furnace, it would only be an ordinary one from the market, and it wouldn't sell for a high price."

  "However, this is bronze! Shopkeeper, you also know that bronze tripods are not common." The man was anxious too, thinking it was a good thing, but when he got here, they said it wasn't worth much.

  "Hmm, I think it's just an ordinary tripod furnace." Tang Xin nodded and said, "However, I'm a Dan disciple, and I was planning to buy an ordinary alchemy furnace to practice with. If you name a price, I'll buy both this one and the one the shopkeeper has, how about that?"

  The shopkeeper's eyes lit up as he repeatedly replied: "That's naturally good, miss. This cauldron of mine is a low-grade artifact, but it still costs 200,000 gold coins."

  "Twenty thousand gold coins?" Tang Xin glanced at her: "Shopkeeper, aren't you going to rob? Generally speaking, a low-grade artifact is already considered expensive at ten thousand gold coins."

  "That's somewhere else, the things in my Zhenbao Xuan are different from those outside."

  The man lowered his head and looked at the bronze tripod in his hand, saying: "Miss, if you want it, I'll give it to you for 200 gold coins! I spent 100 gold coins to get this back, so I have to make some profit. If it's less than 200 gold coins, I won't sell it."

  "Alright, deal." Tang Xin nodded and immediately took out 200 gold coins to pay him on the spot.

  Look at that so refreshing, the man obviously stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, asked: "Miss, my name is Zhang Da, I often go out to dig things and bring them back to the city to buy, do you have anything else you want? Next time I'll bring it back for you when I'm outside."

  "Zhang Da, this is a guest of Zhen Guoxuan." The shopkeeper clearly didn't like it and gave him a warning glance.

  "Heh heh, no problem, shopkeeper. Are you planning to sell this tripod furnace? I can only offer 10,000 gold coins, and I won't buy it if it's a single coin more." Tang Xin smiled and put the tripod furnace into his spatial ring.

  "This...". The shopkeeper hesitated, looked at the tripod furnace, and finally sighed: "Forget it, one million gold coins is just one million. This one million gold coins I didn't make much money, just to let the girl have some fun, next time come to our Zhenbao Hall to take a look."

  "Good." Táng Xīn smiled and took out a crystal card to swipe, then asked Gu Tiānyīn beside him: "Tiānyīn, have you seen anything you like? I'll give it to you as a gift."

  Tian Yin listened and smiled, saying: "There are things here that I have, and some that I don't need. But it's rare to come down the mountain, Tang Tang, let's go eat a meal! And call for a pot of wine, what do you say?"

  "It's fine, but you'd better not drink anymore."

  "Tang Tang, bring up another jug, I won't get drunk again. What are you worried about? You don't know, since last time, I haven't had a drink with anyone, I'm almost starving to death." She pulled his hand and shook it: "Tang Tang, let's just have a little! At most, at most I'll only have three cups, how about just three cups?"

  Tang Xin helplessly looked at her and said, "Alright, alright, stop shaking your head, just go if you're going!"

  "Heh heh, two young ladies, if you want to drink good wine, go to Yi Pin Xiang. The wine there is famous in this city." The shopkeeper, having made a sale, smiled and introduced them with a pleased expression.

  "Let's go, we're going now." He doesn't drink, but he likes to drink. As soon as he hears that a certain wine is good, the wine addict starts again.

  "Take your time, young ladies, come back again when you're free." The shopkeeper smiled as he saw them out.

  Yi Pin Xiang, famous for its wine, hadn't even stepped inside yet, but the strong aroma of wine wafting from upstairs had already filled the air. Tian Yin took a deep breath, her eyes narrowing in rapture: "So fragrant! Tang Tang, come on, let's go in quickly." Before Tang Xin could react, she was pulled along as they headed inside.

  "Little second, what's the best wine you have here?" Tianyin asked excitedly as he led Tang Xin to sit down by the window.

  "Miss, the best wine we have here is Yipinxiang." The waiter introduced with a smile: "We only sell one pot of Yipinxiang per table. If two of you can't finish it, you can try Erpinhong and Zhuyexiang. These two wines are also our top-selling ones in the building."

  "How can one table only sell one pot?" Tianyin furrowed her brow: "Is that for takeout? If it's good, I'll bring a pot back."

  "Miss, I'm really sorry, but we don't allow take-out for our wine here. Please sit down first and I'll bring you a pot right away." The waiter smiled and retreated, turning to the counter to pour the wine. Before long, he brought over a pot: "Ladies, this is our house specialty, 'Yi Pin Xiang'. Take your time to savor it, and I'll have the kitchen prepare some side dishes for you."

  Tian Yin lowered his voice and leaned in close to Tang Xin's side: "Tang, this building is really strange. Look at that young waiter, his footsteps are light and his breathing is steady, he's obviously a cultivator who has reached the fifth level of Qi refinement, yet he's working as a waiter here. This building is indeed very strange."

  "Perhaps the owner of this building is a celebrity." Tang Xin smiled, picked up the jug of Yipinxiang wine and poured a cup. As the aroma of the wine wafted out, she was taken aback by the familiar scent.

  This wine...

  A hint of heartache flashed across her face again, she stared blankly at the wine in her cup, thinking back to that one time, he asked her, "Do you drink?" She smiled and said, "I only drink good wine," but he just had someone bring over a small jug and said, "This wine is very expensive." She held onto that jug of wine, drinking cup after cup until the third cup, when she fell drunk. It wasn't until afterwards that she found out that this wine was also called "Three Cups Down".

  Now, the familiar wine fragrance, the same wine, but he is already gone...

  It's been over a year, and she thought she could calm the wounds in her heart, but every time she thinks of him, thinks of her chubby brother, thinks of her doting parents, her heart still aches faintly, unable to breathe.

  "Tang Tang? What's wrong with you, Tang Tang?"

  The heavens saw her staring blankly at the wine, and the sorrow that suddenly flowed out made her heart ache, her mood also becoming heavy. She had no idea she would reveal such a sad aura, making it difficult for others to bear as well. What was it that made her so sorrowful? What was the pain in her eyes for?

  "Tianyin, do you know? I've had this wine before, it's called Divine Drunkenness. Once, a man offered me this wine and... haha..." She suddenly chuckled lightly, picked up the cup, took a small sip, and savored it carefully: "I think it tastes good, so I took over that jug and drank cup after cup, just like a ghost drinking. The person was watching me drink from the side, with deep eyes and an inexplicable glow. But after three cups, I passed out. Faintly, I heard him whispering in my ear, 'Forgot to tell you, this wine has another name, Three Cups Down.'"

  She quietly listened to Tian, and she could feel that when Tang talked about that man, her heart was aching. Although there was a faint smile on her face, as if she had fallen into a beautiful memory, but in the depths of her eyes, there was an unspeakable sorrow and sadness. She thought that Tang must have loved that man dearly, because when talking about him, the smile on her face was so gentle, so happy, yet also tinged with sorrow.

  She wanted to ask, Tang Tang, what happened to that man later? Why didn't he end up with you? But she didn't dare ask, afraid of stirring up painful memories, afraid of revealing such a heart-wrenching expression again.

  "Three cups down? Does that mean three cups and you're out? No wonder they only allow one jug per table in this building, it's like that." She forced a smile, trying to pull herself back from her memories, picked up the wine and smiled brightly: "Tang Tang, doesn't that mean we can't drink three cups? I'm worried that after two cups I'll get drunk again, how about this? Today you drink to your heart's content, and I'll just have one cup to satisfy my craving. When you pass out, I'll carry you back."

  Listening to her words, Tang Xin couldn't help but laugh, and even the sadness on his face gradually dissipated. Looking at Tian Yin's face, who was staring at the wine with a greedy expression, she smiled lightly: "Look at you, you're as eager as a little cat, and yet you tell me to drink with peace of mind? I'm afraid that once I get drunk, no one will be watching you, and you'll be drinking wildly."

  "Hehe, how could that be? I'll just have a small sip to satisfy my craving." As she took a light sip, the fragrant and intoxicating flavor with a hint of spiritual energy made her eyes widen: "Tang Tang, this wine is actually a spiritual wine, what's the price for it?" She turned around in surprise, seeing the waiter busy attending to customers, and called out: "Waiter, how much does this fine wine cost per jug?"

  "Miss, one hundred gold coins for a pot." The shopkeeper smiled and replied, continuing to busy himself with serving the guests.

  "What? One hundred gold coins for a jug of wine? This, this is really too expensive! To think that ordinary wine can be bought for one gold coin per large barrel, and yet this small jug costs one hundred gold coins? The annual expenses of an average household can't even match the price of this small jug of wine!" Tian Yin exclaimed in shock, staring at the wine in her hand in dismay: "Tang Tang, it seems we're not drinking wine, but eating gold coins! Look at this small cup, and it's already worth over ten gold coins? This, this is really too expensive!"

  Tang Xin smiled shallowly, one hundred gold coins, indeed expensive, after all, it's just such a small pot, if poured out, estimated to be less than ten cups! However, this wine was passed from here to the Longteng Continent, she was really curious, what kind of person is the brewer? To actually brew wine that can knock someone down with three cups, truly not simple.

  Listening to the heavenly music, she was shouting that the wine was expensive. The waiter hurriedly put down his work and came to her side, lowering his voice and saying: "Miss, speak softly, don't let my master hear it, he dislikes others saying that his brewed wine is expensive the most. Last time a guest said that this fragrance was too expensive, he directly threw him out and ordered us not to serve that person again."

  Upon hearing this, Gu Tianyun was taken aback. This wine is already very expensive, and yet you can't even mention it? What kind of logic is this? She rolled her eyes and smiled: "Young waiter, are you saying that this wine was brewed by your landlord himself? And he's actually in this building?"

  Tang Xin, who was standing by, also became interested and watched as Tian Yin made a mischievous plan.

  "Yes! The master of our house is most skilled at brewing wine, and he stays in the cellar day and night. Unless he comes out himself, no one can drag him out."

  "Where is the wine cellar?"

  "Ah, the backyard basement!" Xiao Er instinctively replied, but before he could even finish his sentence, a white figure slipped past him. He was taken aback and asked, "Miss, where are you going?"

  "I've had too much to drink, excuse me for a moment." Tianyin waved her hand and winked at Tangxin before slipping away to the backyard.

  "Our backyard is off-limits to strangers, miss, miss..." The waiter hastily chased after her, leaving Tang Xin alone there savoring his wine slowly.

  In the underground wine cellar of Yipinxiang's backyard, a man in his mid-twenties wearing dark clothes was intently mixing wines. In front of him were over ten wine jars, each with a label on it. He used a ladle to scoop out wine from each jar and mix them together, then poured the mixture into a cup to taste. Apparently not satisfied with the flavor, he furrowed his brow, discarded that cup of wine, and continued to remix.

  "What a fragrance! What a strong wine aroma!" Like a small dog, Gu Tianyun followed the strong wine aroma to a closed door house, pushed open the door, and saw some wine jars placed inside, but no one was in sight. Following the wine aroma, he found an underground entrance hidden behind the jars and carefully walked in.

  She faintly heard the sound of wine and water moving, she went down the stairs, saw that the basement was filled with various large wine jars, all sealed, seemingly not yet opened. Her gaze fell on the man's back, as he was facing away from her.

  She thought it would be an old man, but unexpectedly, it was a young man. Moreover, the man's back still had a strong masculine charm, especially when he turned his face sideways, his resolute expression showed focus and seriousness, making her stare blankly. It turned out that men could also be so charming. She had seen countless handsome men, but somehow she hadn't met anyone like this person before, giving her such a strange feeling.

  It was as if she fell in love with the intoxicating taste of liquor from the very first sip.

  "Hey, I'm Gu Tianxiang, what's your name?" She sat on the stairs, propping her face with one hand, looking at him with interest.

  The man's hand paused in mixing drinks, without turning back, but a cold voice came over: "This is a place outsiders can't come to, get out."

  "I'm not an outsider, I'm a drinking guest." She stood up and walked towards him, looking at the wine in front of him, her eyes shining brightly: "So fragrant!" But as soon as her voice fell, she saw the man put down what he was doing, grab her collar with his big hand, and drag her out like an eagle catching a chick.

  "Hey, hey, hey? What are you doing? Let me down quickly!" She struggled with her hands and feet, but couldn't catch his hand, instead the clothes on her body were in disarray due to the weight of her entire body being lifted up, and a faint cry was heard.

  "Oh no! My clothes!"

  The sound of exclamation and the tearing of fabric made Xiao Xuan Er lower her head to look, but unexpectedly saw the woman's snow-white back, he was stunned, instinctively loosening his hand, but it was too late, and she had already been thrown to the ground.

  "Ah! My chest!" Gu Tianyun cried out in pain, as she was thrown down like that, her chest directly hitting the hard ground, it hurt so much that her whole face scrunched up. She's still in puberty, isn't she? This guy is too heartless, he didn't even make a sound before letting go, it hurts to death!

  It seemed unexpected that a woman would say such things in front of men, Xiao Xuan was slightly stunned, and then looked away, saying in a low voice: "Don't randomly enter other people's places." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to return to the cellar.

  However, Tianyin, who had been taken advantage of, couldn't just let him leave like that. Seeing him turn around, she directly jumped up from the ground and pounced on him, wrapping one hand around his neck, tightly entwining herself with him, and furiously scolded: "Are you even a man? You tore my clothes, threw me to the ground, and now you don't even say sorry before trying to leave? Not even a word of apology!"

  "Let go!" The man stiffened his body, never expecting her to be so bold.

  "Apologize!" She was also stubborn and once she made up her mind, she would never give in easily.

  "If you don't let me go, I won't be polite!" Xiao Xuaner's face was dark and gloomy, obviously suppressing his anger. The woman behind him hugged him tightly, one hand still wrapped around his neck, refusing to let go. At such close range, the fragrance and softness of the woman's body made him stiffen up, unsure of what to do next. After all, he couldn't bring himself to hit a woman.

  Tianyin listened for a moment, and suddenly became annoyed. He loudly roared in his ear: "Then you're not polite to take a look! You tore my clothes, so I looked at it clearly, and yet you still dare to say that you're not polite to me? Try it!"

  In the past, the women he had seen were all cautious and did not dare to overstep their bounds. He had never seen a woman as bold as this one. Xiao Xuaner's eyebrows furrowed for a moment, and he really didn't know how to deal with her. He could only say in a low voice: "I didn't tear your clothes, and I didn't look at you with lust."

  "It's obviously you who tore it! And we've already seen half of each other's backs, yet you say you haven't seen clearly? Is that only called seeing clearly when we're completely naked?! I don't care, you have to take responsibility for me!" She narrowed her eyes slightly, having finally found a man she liked, and was determined to get him no matter what. If she missed this opportunity with someone who could move her heart, she wouldn't be able to find another one easily. Besides, as the saying goes, "men chasing women have to cross mountains, while women chasing men only need to cross silk", she didn't believe that with her looks, she couldn't make a man fall in love with her!

  Xiao Xuaner heard this and finally understood something, her mouth twitching slightly as she was speechless for a moment towards the woman behind her.

  "Ah! Lou, Lou Xin? What are you doing?" Xiao Er came looking for Gu Tianyun, but didn't expect to see this scene. For a moment, he was stunned, as if their landlord only loved beautiful wine and not beautiful women? How did he get together with this beautiful woman so quickly?

  "Hurry up and turn around! I'm almost exposed!" Tianyin tightly grasped Xiao Xuaner's neck, forcibly turning him around to use his body to block the overflowing spring light, while Xiao Xuaner's face turned dark, speechless as he was pulled by the woman behind him to turn around in a circle, facing his own companions.

  "Come and take her away." The low voice spoke without a hint of emotion, as he reached out to pry open Gu Tianyun's hands that were wrapped around his neck.

  At this time, Tang Xin followed behind Xiao Er because she was worried about her, but unexpectedly saw her hanging on that man's body, with a look of anxiety. Seeing her, she rushed towards her and cried out: "Tang Tang, I've been bullied by this person, he took advantage of me and doesn't want to take responsibility, and said he wants to throw me away."

  At the words, Xiao Xuan's forehead flashed with a few black lines, and he glanced at Tang Xin in a daze. Frowning, his hand moved unknowingly, and with a light effort, he lifted Gu Tianyin from behind him and threw her towards Tang Xin: "Catch!"

  "Ah! You bastard! I'm not done with you!"

  Tiang Heart's mouth twitched as she saw the man casually toss Tianyin over, and she secretly thought that was ruthless enough. She wasn't afraid that Tianyin wouldn't catch her, but instead, he just tossed her over like that. However, judging from Tianyin's angry curses, it seemed like she had already clashed with the man.

  But who is this man? The move he just showed isn't simple at all...

  Digression

  Dear, didn't I see you making a guest appearance in there? Hehe, I wanted to give him a name, but I didn't know what name was good, so I opened the background and searched for it, and then I found you...
