Chen Ping'an had seen many good-looking people the same age as him — his neighbor Song Jixin in Clay Vase Alley, Mr. Qi's students Zhao Yao and Lin Shouyi in the private school, the androgynous young man dressed as a female on Osmanthus Island, and Prince Gao Xuan from Great Sui Nation. However, none of them were as good-looking as this young boy in the wine shop.
After writing on the tall wall, the young boy carried a jar of wine over and sat down on the neighboring table. He asked for two large white bowls, and he invited Xu Jia over to drink with him. Xu Jia was well aware of how expensive the golden millet wine was, yet he didn't feel like this was inappropriate at all. He cracked open the clay seal and helped pour some wine for both of them. They then touched bowls and drank in a hearty manner. They seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely.
At the same time, the old shopkeeper also seemed to be smiling a bit more. However, the pitiful caged oriole stood with its back facing the radiant young boy, appearing feeble and sickly.
The handsome young boy raised his wine bowl at Chen Ping'an and said with a smile, "I'm Cao Ci from Middle Earth Divine Continent's Great Duan Empire."
Chen Ping'an had no option but to raise his wine bowl and reply, "I'm Chen Ping'an from Eastern Treasured Vial Continent's Great Li Empire."
Cao Ci nodded in acknowledgment, and there was clear praise in his eyes as he said, "Your foundation for the third tier of martial arts is quite good."
Chen Ping'an didn't know how to respond, so he could only drink a sip of wine in silence. He couldn't help but feel that something was off.
After mulling over this for a long time, he finally discovered why their exchange had appeared so strange. As it turned out, neither the attitude nor tone of the handsome young boy from Middle Earth Divine Continent matched with his status as someone of the same age. Instead, his attitude and tone had appeared more similar to the barefoot old man in the bamboo building in Downtrodden Mountain.
However, the handsome young boy wasn't as domineering and forceful as Cui Chan's grandfather. Quite the contrary, in fact, Cao Ci had spoken in a calm and amiable manner. Even so, Chen Ping'an had still felt a formless pressure even when they were talking about trivial matters.
Ning Yao didn't pay much heed to Cao Ci. However, she was quite unhappy about this eyesore suddenly popping up from out of nowhere. His arrival severely dampened her interest in drinking for much longer.
After quickly finishing the half a jar of golden millet wine with Chen Ping'an, she immediately stood up and dragged Chen Ping'an toward the exit.
Just as Chen Ping'an was about to leave the wine shop, Cao Ci smiled and shouted, "The girl you like is very good. However, one bad thing about her is that she still can't remember my name after coming across...
