The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 90 Third Prince
“Master Hu, I know you're not just here to drink wine. Are you possibly here for my master's Earth Origin Dragon Tree?” Lu Sulan smiled playfully.
He had already heard from his master that the Earth Origin Dragon Tree would bear fruit in less than three days. Counting the days that had passed since then, the fruit would grow tomorrow morning and ripen at night. And that was when all those hidden experts would appear to pick up the fruit for themselves.
Hu Xiandao who was drinking his wine almost choked upon hearing his words. He then glanced at Lu Sulan with a crooked smile and cursed the elders of the Mythological Wild Lands in his heart. Still, he could not blame them as they definitely did not know that Lu Sulan was actually a disciple of the rumored Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen.
It was still a few days since the customer had heard of Jiu Shen as an Alchemy Saint, but news had spread far and wide that even the neighboring powers had heard a thing or two about him.
Merely, almost everyone found it hard to believe that an alchemist at that level would bow so low and actually open a small wine shop in a remote alley in Beltran City. So after hearing the rumors, most of those who heard it just laughed and thought it was just an exaggerated joke to promote their store.
This included Mythos Wildlands. They believed that it was just a rumor that was deliberately spread to cause fear and confusion for everyone. Some believe that it is a step to prevent people with greedy hearts from stealing their precious treasures.
Hu Xiandao and his men were sent here specifically to obtain the Earth Origin Dragon Tree, but who knew that the mistress of their strongest ally sect was actually a disciple of the shopkeeper?
Hu Xiandao glanced to his left and right before he approached Lu Sulan. He then whispered in silence. “Mistress of Lu Sect, we were indeed sent here by the elders of our Mythological Wild Lands to obtain the Earth Origin Dragon Tree. But since the owner of this shop is your master, then we will never dare to continue this mission again. And as your ally, we will help you protect this place.”
Lu Sulan smiled and he shook his head. “I'm happy with your choice, but Lord Hu need not interfere.”
Hu Xiandao frowned and thought that Lu Sulan did not want them to get involved in the chaos. With a determined look, he said. “Mrs Sect Lu, we have been living in a remote land in the north and fighting is common there. And the barbarians in Mythos Wildlands are not afraid of death!”
Lu Sulan felt a warmth in his heart and he smiled wryly. Even if countless powerful experts would come to attack them, he believed that his master was able to subdue everyone with just a flick of his finger. Not to mention the existence of Theia who could even make an 8th rank Divine realm expert like her feel an immense pressure. He really didn't think that they needed support …
“Master Hu, have you forgotten about Sister Theia? Just him alone was more than enough to stop those people from taking my master's Earth Origin Dragon Tree.” Lu Sulan said with a slightly proud expression. The feeling of having someone to rely on was truly a refreshing feeling for him as he was used to bearing the pressure alone during his time as the Sect Mistress of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect.
“If that is the case, then I will take my brothers to the nearest inn so that we can immediately provide our help if needed. Please agree to this, Sect Mistress Lu or I will not be able to calm down.” Hu Xiandao said as he scratched the back of his head.
He was worried about his safety because he was very important in the alliance between their Mythos Wildlands and the Ice Cloud Sword Sect. If something bad happened to him, Hu Xiandao did not dare to think about the consequences …
Lu Sulan sighed, but he knew how stubborn Hu Xiandao was. In the end, he nodded his head and said with a confident expression. “Okay, Lord Hu. I agree to your request, but you don't need to be on the front lines because Mr and Sister Theia will definitely suppress those people easily.”
Hu Xiandao nodded faintly and smiled. “I will listen to your orders, Sect Mistress Lu.”
Lu Sulan gracefully smiled and lowered his head before he left them.

Outside the Immortal Wine Shop.
A cold-faced man in his thirties glanced at the entrance of Jiu Shen's shop with a curious look. “So this wine shop is called Alchemy Saint? From the looks of it, everything is just a bluff.” He tried to stay calm, but the insulting tone was obvious.
One of the servants behind him stepped forward and lowered his head. “Your Majesty, our people have gathered news about this establishment. And we have strong evidence that the owner is indeed someone with extraordinary powers. As for him as an Alchemy Saint, many claimed that it was true, but we are still unsure about this. .But this humble servant suggests to avoid conflict with them before we know their true abilities.” The waiter said respectfully.
The third prince gestured for the servant to retreat before he walked inside the store with a cold smile.
