Chapter 282 Divine Drink: Forgetful River Wine
A thousand sorrows run rampant.
Gu Qianbei, Lu Xiaofeng, and Wanwan sat together with a pot of wine on the table. The three of them raised their cups and drank together, enjoying themselves quite comfortably.
"This matter is finally over, and I can finally relax."
These days have been driving me crazy with worry.
Lu Xiaofeng took a sip of wine with relish, feeling that his bitterness had finally turned into sweetness.
"Has Ye Gucheng's whereabouts been found?"
Gu Qianbei asked curiously.
"No. It's not easy to catch a swordsman like Ye Gucheng."
In the Ming Dynasty court, the only ones with this kind of power were probably Iron-Blooded Marquis and Guo Juxia.
But why would the two of them personally go and capture this person?
Therefore, it's unlikely that Ye Gucheng will be caught.
He wasn't the mastermind behind this, and as long as he doesn't cause any trouble, the court shouldn't bother him.
Lu Xiaofeng said.
Gu Qianbei nodded slightly.
"It's a pity I didn't see Ye Gucheng's sword. If I had the chance, I would really like to witness the celestial being descending from the heavens."
Lu Xiaofeng, have you ever witnessed a celestial being descending from the heavens?
How is his swordsmanship?
At this point, Lu Xiaofeng's expression turned slightly serious, and he said in a low voice, "When I was investigating the Embroidered Bandit case, I did indeed fight Ye Gucheng at the Nanwang Mansion."
At that time, he also used the "Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens" technique, and I almost died by his sword.
"You caught his sword blade?"
Wanwan asked in surprise.
Lu Xiaofeng gave a wry smile and said, "It's not exactly trapped, but it's not really trapped either."
Ye Gucheng's Celestial Immortal technique is unfathomable. He controlled the force of the sword strike I delivered; it wasn't a full-force attack.
He thought he could kill me with that kind of force, but he didn't expect my strength to be beyond his expectations, so my Lingxi Finger successfully clamped his sword.
But he then easily retrieved the longsword from my fingers.
This shows that my "Lingxi Finger" did not completely trap it.
If he attacks again, I will surely die.
But he seemed to have some considerations and didn't kill me, which is how I escaped with my life.
Otherwise, my life would be in danger.
"I see."
Wanwan suddenly realized.
"No matter what, the fact that you survived Ye Gucheng's sword is a skill rarely seen in the martial arts world."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled helplessly: "Take this as a compliment."
Lu Xiaofeng drank a few more cups before finally leaving.
night.
Wanwan looked at the full moon in the sky, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Wanwan looking unhappy, Gu Qianbei couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"I'm leaving."
"Leave? Back to the Yin Gui Sect?"
Wanwan nodded slightly.
"The Southern Prince's Mansion has failed, and the play I came to watch is over."
So, it's about time I went back to report.
"Then I'll go with you. It'll be a good opportunity to introduce me to your master."
With my current strength, I'm more than capable of being your husband.
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"That's certainly enough."
Wanwan smiled faintly, but then shook her head.
"But you'd better not come back with me this time."
Why?
Gu Qianbei looked puzzled.
"I have already had physical intimacy with you. When I return, my master will be furious."
If you come back with me now, she will definitely unleash all her anger on you.
Therefore, battle is inevitable.
I don't want you to fight.
My master is very powerful; you are at most on par with her.
If they really get into a fight, I'm afraid both sides will suffer heavy losses.
So, I'll go back and appease Master first, and you can come back with me after everything has settled down.
"Such a big matter, how can I let you go back and bear it alone? No, I want to go back with you."
Gu Qianbei, however, said it with absolute certainty.
"A thousand cups..."
"I know what you mean. But I'm also partly responsible for this. If I let you go back and face your anger alone, how can I be worthy of being your man?"
Wanwan, I am someone you can rely on, not someone who just hides behind you.
Trust me, I will help you solve all your problems.
Seeing Gu Qianbei's sincere expression, Wanwan smiled with relief.
"Okay, then let's face it together."
"That's more like it."
Gu Qianbei smiled with satisfaction.
The next day, the two left the number one manor in the world and headed to Daliang.
Daliang, a mysterious country that Gu Qianbei had never set foot in before.
Unlike the Ming and Song dynasties, which Gu Qianbei knew somewhat about, the Daliang region was somewhat unfamiliar to him.
Simply put, it is a country that combines the Yuan and Sui dynasties with some fictional martial arts stories.
The Demonic Sect is the most prominent martial arts force in this country, but many other forces are also emerging.
The most famous examples are the Four Gates and the Golden Couple Alliance from a few years ago.
However, in the battle of the East Sea back then, Li Xiangyi, the leader of the Si Gu Sect, and Di Feisheng, the leader of the Jin Yuan Alliance, were both seriously injured, causing both sects to decline.
Rumors have it that Li Xiangyi is dead, and Di Feisheng is in seclusion to heal his injuries. Both of them have not appeared in the martial arts world for several years.
After the Four Gates Sect disbanded, some of its members formed the Hundred Rivers Academy, which, with the remaining influence of the Four Gates Sect, carried out the duty of monitoring the martial arts world.
The Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, on the other hand, went into hiding, with its disciples rarely appearing in the martial world.
This brought a lot of peace to the martial arts world of Daliang.
After Gu Qianbei and Wanwan set foot on the land of Daliang, Gu Qianbei heard many stories of the martial arts world here and found them very interesting.
"I didn't expect there to be so many stories of the martial arts world; it's quite interesting."
Gu Qianbei smiled slightly, and then the system in his mind spoke again.
"The new wine recipe has been updated. Divine Wine Recipe: Forget-River Wine. With the Forget-River Flower as the sovereign and Li Xiangyi's chivalrous spirit as the minister, this Forget-River Flower Wine is brewed."
Drinking it allows one to travel through time and return to the past.
Each person may only drink it once in their lifetime.
The host may drink this three times.
Upon seeing the wine recipes displayed in the system, Gu Qianbei was immediately taken aback.
"A divine drink! Time travel! This is too outrageous!"
This ability is no longer something that wine should possess.
I thought "The Dream of the Yellow Millet" was outrageous enough, but I never expected there to be something even more outrageous.
All I can say is that it truly deserves to be called a divine drink.
This ability is truly amazing.
"The Forget-Me-Not Flower? I've heard it's extremely rare, but for its effects alone, I'll find it no matter how hard it is!"
Gu Qianbei immediately became interested.
These days, he can't stand ordinary wines anymore, but this kind of wine is something that people can't help but look forward to.
"What's wrong? Judging from your expression, it seems like you've encountered some great joy."
Wanwan asked curiously.
"I've come up with a pretty good wine recipe, so I'm quite excited. Wanwan, have you ever heard of the Forget-Me-Not Flower?"
Gu Qianbei said in a low voice.
"The Forget-River Flower? I've heard of it. I've heard that this flower blooms in two colors, one white and one red. The white flower is the most poisonous thing in the world, while the red flower is a good medicine that can increase internal strength when consumed."
If you eat both flowers at the same time, they can cure all poisons.
What? You need these flowers?
