The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 196 Day Martial Arts Contest
The day of the martial arts contest had finally arrived and the hundred battle platforms were already surrounded by countless spectators. It was crowded with people, but no one was dissatisfied about this because this was the same place and atmosphere since the establishment of the Silver Wing Kingdom.
“I heard that the arrogant young patriarch of the Liu Family will join this contest. I don't know what kind of wine he drank at the Wine Master Jiu store that made him enter this annual martial arts competition. He must have gone. crazy or maybe he was forced by the patriarch himself.”
“Are you talking about Liu Mengdi? He's a real joke! I heard that he was still an early stage 3rd rank Crusader at twenty-one. It might be high compared to the other youths, but to someone who was extremely nurtured by the Liu Family, his talent seemed to be quite ordinary. How did he have the guts to enter this year's competition?”
Liu Mengdi sat down with his father and some of his subordinates. The Liu family also sent some of their young elites to participate in the contest, but they did not sit together with their young patriarch.
Seeing the behavior called his family members, Liu Mengdi snorted in his heart. ‘Show me carefully. I will show everyone that I am the only one who deserves to be the patriarch of the Liu Family!’
Liu Mengdi was one of Jiu Shen's first customers and he was even forced by the latter to buy his wine during their first meeting. However, he was now one of Jiu Shen's most loyal customers and he also frequented his shop.
This person had put up an arrogant facade in front of everyone to make them feel that he was the young master of silk pants. However, no one knew that this was actually just an act he had done since he was young. Liu Mengdi knew that his uncle was vying for his father's position, and they would do anything to get him, so he devised a plan with his father to deceive the whole world. And now, he was planning to tell everyone who Liu Mengdi really was!
In a different place, the patriarch of the Beiming Family, Beiming Liqiang, led his young elites to their seats. The faces of the young men behind him were stiff. It was as if they were soldiers who would join the war.
The more famous noble sects and families arrived with their young disciples and young elites, but most conspicuously were still disciples of the three great noble families and elites brought by the imperial family.
“See! This is Wine Master Jiu's group! They are on top of flying swords again!”
After that shout, everyone raised their heads to look at the sky. They saw over twenty swords flying down to the ground. Even though they had already seen this during the registration, the crowd still felt shocked by this. No one could achieve this kind of precision control in true essence, so this sword technique made everyone admire Jiu Shen.
“That beautiful woman. I would die if I could make it mine.”
“Are you tired of living?! Can't you see that he has a close relationship with Wine Master Jiu? I wouldn't even be surprised if I found out that he was his wife ...”
Everyone's gazes were not focused on the young man behind Jiu Shen. They were looking at the new members of the group. She was a tall young woman with long purple hair. She wore a long white dress that stuck tightly to her body, revealing her curved figure and abundant assets. The men could not help but fantasize when they saw this woman. Who her? What does this have to do with Jiu Shen? No one knows.
Jiu Shen walked calmly despite the sharp gazes from the crowd. Everyone could see that he was holding a young girl with short white hair in his arms. They could not help but speculate in their hearts when they saw this little girl. Is this little princess lolita Wine Master Jiu? If that was the case, then the woman beside him should be his wife …
Jiu Shen continued walking without saying a word. He did not know what the crowd was thinking, but even he knew it, he still would not give an explanation and just remained silent. Who cares about them?
Emperor Elyk came forward and greeted Jiu Shen with a smile. He also caught a glimpse of the purple-haired young lady beside him and the little girl in his arms. Could they really be family? Emperor Elyk was curious, but he did not talk about it.
“Wine Master Jiu, come with me. I've prepared a chair for your group.” The Emperor Elyk.
Jiu Shen nodded his head at the emperor to thank him.
Emperor Elyk smirked when he saw that. He then led Jiu Shen's group to the area right beside where the Silveria Imperial Family was sitting.
The crowd frowned when they saw how polite the emperor was to Jiu Shen, but no one said a word. They were afraid of the emperor's strength and they didn't want to offend him just because of the seating arrangement.
Elder Kuan of the Xue Family snorted in his heart when he saw this. ‘Enjoy your high and mighty position now that it won't be long for my Xue Family to trample on all of you!’
“Xue Tong, are you sure you can defeat the fourth prince? He should be the strongest competitor in this martial arts contest.” Elder Kuan glanced at the young man beside him. This was Xue Tong, the son of Supreme Elder Xue Yangkun!
Xue Tong's attitude changed drastically after the sudden growth of his strength. He was no longer the arrogant and blind young master. His pair of cold eyes became warmer as he looked at Elder Kuan.
“Strength? Elder Kuan, I must admit that the fourth prince is indeed strong, but if we have the same cultivation level, I can defeat him in less than ten steps!” Xue Tong said confidently. If it was before, he would not even dare to utter such bold words, but after the special training he had undergone in the Immortal Corpse Sect, his confidence was extremely high!
Elder Kuan grinned when he heard his reply. He had seen Xue Tong's amazing growth, and he was also confident in his strength.
‘Even with Xue Tong's growth, it might still be difficult for him to defeat the fourth prince at the moment, but this is not a problem. It didn't take long for him to surpass the level of the fourth prince after several months of training. I'm just worried that the Silveria Imperial Family will no longer be there to see the growth of our Xue Family! Hahaha!’ Elder Kuan laughed out loud in his heart and he could not hide the cold smile on his face as he looked to where the emperor was sitting.
