“It’s the first time we meet. It’s indeed better to meet in person rather than knowing by reputation. City Lord Feng is truly peerlessly beautiful and outstanding.” He spoke slowly while looking at Feng Jiu’s face.
As she walked in, her gaze also fell on him with scrutiny. After hearing his praise, she replied, “The Venerable Lord is also extraordinary, having great courage and insight.”
She went to the main table and sat down. “Pour the wine,” she told Gu Xiang, who had followed her and stood by her side.
“Yes.”
Gu Xiang answered, went to the rear to take a jar of wine and two wine cups. He poured the wine for Feng Jiu and the Venerable Lord, and then stood aside with the wine jar in his hands.
Smelling the aroma of the wine, the Venerable Lord’s face was wreathed with smiles. “I didn’t expect City Lord Feng to have such good wine. I should have come earlier.” While talking, he took the cup to drink, but the old man behind him called out.
“Master, this wine…” The old man was worried that Phoenix City’s people would slip a drug in the wine.
He knew his subordinate’s mind, but the Venerable Lord smiled with unconcern. “Don’t worry! Only two of us came here today and we’re already inside Phoenix City. Besides, City Lord Feng is so strong that she doesn’t even need to use wine if she wanted to do something to us.”
With these words, he took the wine and took a sip. The wine was mellow and pleasant. He couldn’t help narrowing his eyes while savouring the wine with an intoxicated look.
“I haven’t had such good wine for many years since I came to this land.”
After finishing the wine in the cup, he looked at Feng Jiu. “City Lord Feng, I’m your guest today. As a host, will you be reluctant to give up this jar of wine?”
Feng Jiu smiled. “Of course not.” She motioned for Gu Xiang to put the wine on his table.
Gu Xiang came forward, put the wine jar down, then returned to Feng Jiu. Although he was an Immortal Sacred Strong Exponent, now was served tea and poured wine at his Master’s side. At least, among the hundreds of people, only he could always wait upon the Master.
Fortunately, his Master didn’t dislike a rough man like him.
The Venerable Lord took a sip directly from the wine jar, acting casual and nonchalant as if he were not a guest in someone else’s house, but in his own house. His free and easy manner made Feng Jiu look favourably at him.
Seeing him drinking there with an intoxicated look on his face, Feng Jiu was not in a hurry to ask the reason for his visit. She gave Gu Xiang an instruction, and not long after, Gu Xiang came back with a word and Feng Jiu stood up.
“I don’t have other things here, but there are two dishes to accompany the wine. If Venerable Lord doesn’t mind, please step outside.” She made a sign to invite him to the stone table outside to have some food and wine as well as to chat.
Hearing this, the Venerable Lord stood up with a smile while holding the wine jar in his hand. “That would be great.”
The two of them went outside and sat down. Several dishes to accompany the wine were placed on the table. Gu Xiang filled Feng Jiu’s cup to the brim with wine.
After taking a sip of the wine, she chatted with the Venerable Lord. “Try these dishes, our chef is quite skilled.”
“Pretty good. Not only is Phoenix City’s atmosphere good, but also the wine and food here are good. I really didn’t come here in vain today. It was right to come here.” While eating the food and drinking wine, he spoke again.. “City Lord Feng, I am here today to find the truth.”
