The carriage stopped outside the building.
An Le, Lin Qingyin, and Old Imperial Uncle alighted one after another. The sunlight shone on their faces, bringing with it a hint of warmth.
“Jiangling’s River Gathering Restaurant. It’s a good place. The Bamboo Green Leaf wine here the most delicious. Little An, you and I have to have a good drink.”
Old Imperial Uncle grinned. No matter how sparingly he drank the pot of old yellow wine that Zhao Xianyou had given him, he finished it in a day.
“After passing through the Jiangling Prefecture, we can enter Shu. It’s not far from the Sword Pool Palace. Therefore, relax a little and eat a good meal. Rest and recuperate. When we enter the Sword Pool Palace, we’ll strive to succeed in sharpening Green Mountain in one go.”
Old Imperial Uncle said with a smile. With Lin Qingyin’s help, he took the lead and stepped into River Gathering Restaurant.
An Le was dressed in white and had the Green Mountain and Ink Pool Sword and Storm Calming at his waist. He scanned his surroundings. There were people coming and going on the long street of Jiangling Prefecture, and it was quite lively. However, as soon as he got out of the carriage, he felt waves of Primordial Spirit aura locking onto them.
Clearly, they had been targeted the moment they entered the Jiangling Prefecture.
“Little An, don’t mind it. The only person in the Jiangling Prefecture who dares to target us so blatantly is the Jiangling Prince. That kid is very trash. He’s comparable to that disappointing person in the Heavenly Profound Palace. I can’t be bothered with him. Come, come in and drink.”
The old man’s words floated over from inside the building.
When An Le heard this, his expression relaxed a little. Since the old man had said so, he naturally did not have to be nervous.
Stretching, the pent-up Qi Blood in his body surged like lightning. He had been visualizing these few days and his mental power had become much stronger. However, without refining the Ancient Demon Five Animals, the increase in Body Tempering was not obvious.
Even though the Mystic Intent of the Inner Core became more vivid and majestic with the help of the ancient scriptures, it was still far from birthing Connate Qi.
Just as An Le was about to step into River Gathering Restaurant, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
The Demon Origin Ancient Jade given by the thousand-year-old demon suppressed at the bottom of the West Lake at his waist suddenly trembled slightly.
If there was a reaction from the Demon Source Ancient Jade, did it mean that the son of the thousand-year-old demon was in Jiangling Prefecture? After pondering for a moment, An Le did not pursue the matter carefully. Right now, he did not have the chance to find this demon descendant for the time being.
He strode into River Gathering Restaurant. The old man seemed to have left a considerable reputation here. As soon as he entered the building, a fat woman walked over quickly and welcomed him to the third floor.
Dozens of wisps of Age Qi lingered around the fat woman. Clearly, she was an extraordinary cultivator.
An Le didn’t hesitate much. He hadn’t seen any cultivators for a long time, so he naturally absorbed five wisps in one go.
“Mei Niang, serve me three pots of Bamboo Green Leaf to satisfy my cravings first.
The old man sat by the window and admired the big lake behind River Gathering Restaurant.
The waves of the lake rippled in the middle, and the fishing raincoat on the shore made a small boat.
Although the lake was not as bright as West Lake, it had an extraordinary leisurely scenery. A gentle breeze blew over, creating ripples. “Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately.”
The fat woman smiled and immediately turned to leave.
An Le, Lin Qingyin, and Lin Zhuifeng sat down one after another. The two women leaned against the window and looked at the scenery in the lake. They chattered non-stop and laughed happily from time to time.
Clearly, the depression of leaving Lin’an Prefecture had mostly dissipated in the past few days.
An Le didn’t feel much about leaving Lin’an. After all… he had just entered Lin’an not long ago.
The three pots of Bamboo Green Leaf were quickly served. The old man couldn’t wait to open the pot and drink.
“Awesome!”
The wine flowed down the edge of the long beard, emitting a rich wine fragrance.
An Le poured himself a cup and drank it. The moment he took a sip, there was no spiritual energy as he had imagined. Instead, there was a different kind of rush.
There was even a refreshing smell of new bamboo after the rain.
An Le looked at it in surprise. “This wine… is not bad.”
The old man grinned. “Of course. Every time I enter Shu, I’ll come to River Gathering Restaurant to drink a few pots of Bamboo Green Leaf. Then, I’ll row a boat on this lake and get drunk with the world. I’m very happy.”
An Le tasted the wine seriously. Lin Qingyin and Lin Zhuifeng also took a sip out of curiosity.
Old Imperial Uncle waved at the window.
A breeze blew past his face. Li You’an, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, floated in the window. The old man picked up the last pot of wine and threw it out.
After Li You’an took it, he took a sip of wine and smiled. “Not bad, it’s still the same taste.”
“Alright, escorting us to Jiangling Prefecture is enough. I have escorts for the rest of the journey. Hurry up and return to the Blue Wave River. Don’t let that West Liang father and son cause trouble.”
Old Imperial Uncle waved the wine flask in his hand.
“I just received news that Emperor Yuan Meng sent an army to suppress the borders of West Liang. This unforeseen event happened a little earlier than I expected, but I can imagine that West Liang definitely can’t resist Yuan Meng head-on. They will definitely think of ways to cross the river.”
“I do have to go back.” Li You’an said seriously.
“The wisp of sword qi left behind by the Sacred Teacher in the mortal world has been obtained by someone, so Emperor Yuan Meng will naturally take action. Not only West Liang, but the Dali Kingdom which has been stable for hundreds of years will also suffer. This Emperor Yuan Meng seems to be planning to completely unify the world. You should go. In Jiangling Prefecture, I’m very safe.
Old Imperial Uncle took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
Li You’an did not say anything else. He glanced at An Le with anticipation in his eyes.
His figure turned into a sword light and suddenly burst forth in Jiangling Prefecture. A majestic pressure shot into the clouds. Many of the mental power that had come to investigate let out miserable cries and did not dare to approach anymore.
In the Jiangling Prince’s Mansion..
