The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 140 News Ren Shuang
It was a bright morning for Beltran City. Jiu Shen was now inside his shop waiting for the emperor's arrival. As for the beast fighting arena, he left Can Ye there to monitor the training of the children. He had already taught the youths what to do all day, and he was not worried because Can Ye was there to keep an eye on everything.
Almost half of the first floor was already occupied by customers, keeping Xiao Hua and his three companions busy, but there was not even an expression of dissatisfaction in the eyes of the girls.
Not long after, Emperor Elyk arrived inside the shop with four guards following behind him. The first dignified expression was obvious, but Jiu Shen could see a trace of solemnity in his gaze.
‘It looks like Elyk is having problems.’ Jiu Shen muttered in his heart while still sitting in his chair.
Emperor Elyk was in a bad mood because the people they sent to punish the Xue Family did not return. Even though those soldiers were only at the 3rd rank Crusaders and below, they still represented the face of the Silveria Imperial Family, but the Xue Family actually killed them without hesitation. This made Emperor Elyk furious, but he could only swallow this anger because he did not want the conflict between the Silveria Imperial Family and the Xue Family to escalate.
As the emperor was deep in thought, he suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting nonchalantly in a random corner of the shop. He caressed the plump white cat fur with an indifferent expression on his face. Emperor Elyk's eyes brightened when he looked at the man and he involuntarily smiled. The Emperor then walked towards him with an excited expression on his face.
“Wine Mr. Jiu, good to see you here today. How are the young servants I brought here? Hehehe.” Emperor Elyk smiled widely after saying those words. The four guards behind the emperor remained silent but they still cupped their fists at Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen turned his gaze to the smiling emperor and replied in a gentle tone. “Hm, I am satisfied with the children you brought, Elyk.”
Hearing his reply, Emperor Elyk laughed. “Hahaha! I know you will, Wine Master Jiu! It seems that you have some things to take care of over the past few days, I wonder if it is related to those kids?” Elyk investigated with a smile.
Jiu Shen remained silent, but he still nodded his head in response because the emperor would still know about it. Furthermore, he was planning to build his temporary sect headquarters within the territory of Beltran City, so even if he remained silent about it, Emperor Elyk would still find it in the future.
The emperor's smile widened when he saw Jiu Shen's reaction.
“Elyk, from the look on your face earlier, it looks like you've experienced something terrible. If I'm not mistaken, it must have something to do with the Xue.” Family Jiu Shen stood up from his seat and gestured for the emperor to follow him as he spoke in a calm voice.
The Emperor trailed behind Jiu Shen and furrowed his brows at Jiu Shen's words. “Wine Master Jiu, you are not wrong. From what happened yesterday, it seems that the Xue Family is not just an ordinary merchant family.”
Jiu Shen led the emperor and the four guards to the second floor.
The atmosphere between them became a little serious after Jiu Shen started talking about the Xue Family.
After everyone sat down, Jiu Shen looked at the emperor. “Elyk, I want to be honest with you. The Xue family is not as simple as you think.”
Emperor Elyk and the four guards frowned when they heard him, and the former couldn't help but ask in a curious tone. “Wine Master Jiu, did you find anything about them?”
Jiu Shen was silent for a moment before he replied. “Elyk, do you know about the Immortal Corpse Sect?”
The eyes of the four guards blinked in surprise but they remained silent.
Jiu Shen shook his head calmly. “They are not only related. If my assumption is correct, the Xue Family is part of the Immortal Corpse Sect. I've sent one of my people to monitor them and he should be here now.”
Jiu Shen decided to tell the emperor what he knew about the Xue Family because the Silver Wings Empire was really in a precarious situation, and with the current imperial power, it was the case, Jiu Shen was confident that it would be destroyed or taken over by the Immortal Corpse. Sect or Demon Race. However, Jiu Shen decided to remain silent about the Devil Race as it could negatively impact the emperor's state of mind.
The emperor and the four guards were stunned by this sudden revelation.
‘So that's why they aren't afraid of provoking my Silveria Imperial Family! To think that I have nurtured a venomous snake in my own territory!’ Emperor Elyk mocked himself inwardly.
Swoosh's.
A man wearing black armor suddenly appeared beside Jiu Shen which greatly shocked Emperor Elyk and the four guards so much that they even stood up from their seats. The four guards even held onto the hilt of their swords while staring at the man warily. His arrival was so sudden that they thought it was an assassination attempt.
After taking a careful look at the man's face, Emperor Elyk furrowed his brows. ‘is this not the man who..’.
“Quiet! This man was Wine Master Jiu's subordinate.” Emperor Elyk gestured for the four guards not to move as he apologized while smiling at Ren Shuang and Jiu Shen.
The four guards lowered their heads in embarrassment and they immediately sat on their seats while staring at Ren Shuang with curiosity and respect. The man could arrive beside Jiu Shen without them noticing his presence. That meant that man was much stronger than them!
Jiu Shen smiled amusedly. “Everything, this is Ren Shuang. Second floor guard of my shop.”
“Oh, so this is Mr Ren! Nice to meet you!” Emperor Elyk smiled amiably when he saw Ren Shuang, but he was inwardly dumbfounded as he still could not feel the power of the latter. No matter how he looked at Ren Shuang, it was as if he was looking at an ordinary person, but how could it be?
Ren Shuang remained silent and simply nodded his head at them. He wouldn't even bother to glance at them if it wasn't for Jiu Shen's sake. “Master, I've made you wait a long time.” Ren Shuang muttered while bowing to Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen waved his right hand and shook his head. “No problem. Just tell me what you found out about the Xue.” Family
Ren Shuang glanced at the emperor and the four guards in a daze, but since his master had spoken, he nodded his head. “Master, there are three Saint rank 9 experts in the Xue Family, and there are also eight rank 8 Divine Realm experts present there, but I think this is not their full strength. I had heard them speak that the members of the Immortal Corpse Sect were hiding in one of their territories. I assume that there are still some top experts hiding there.”
Jiu Shen was undaunted and he just kept quiet, but Emperor Elyk and the four guards looked incredulous spreading across their faces.
“What?!” Emperor exclaims.
