Book 1: Chapter 5: Treat The New Friend A Drink
After all the gangsters died, Bai Qiuran returned his sword to the sheath.
“Bro, thank for your help. What is your name?”
The n.o.ble boy frowned, instead of answering Bai Qiuran’s words, but asked:
“They have all fled. Why do you have to kill them all? Why can’t you be forgiving?”
“Now, look at them, do you really think they understand the principle of “being forgiving”?”
Bai Qiuran shook his head and responded with a smile:
“If you and I let them go today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they will forget today ’s fears, pick up weapons, continue to harm others, and the people who meet him may not be strong like you and me. What do you think will happen? Killing them all, it is to save more innocent lives. ”
The boy bit his lip and remained silent.
Seeing that, Bai Qiuran continued to ask:
“Bro, haven’t you told me your name?”
“What’s the use of knowing my name?”
The boy put his sword back and said:
“We just meet by chance, I see the unevenness and try to help. Goodbye.”
“No, we meet by destiny.”
Bai Qiuran said with a smile:
“You came to help, and it is reasonable for me to treat you a drink.”
“With your strength, you don’t need my help at all. You owe me nothing.”
The boy refused:
“You’re going to invite me to drink, and I’m ashamed of it.”
“No, no, strength is not important to me. What matters is the courage and chivalry that make you willing to stand out when seeing an unevenness.”
Bai Qiuran insisted:
“I’m respecting you, yet you didn’t want to tell me your name, it was too disappointing.”
The n.o.ble boy showed hesitation. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and replied:
“My name is Tang Wei.”
“Hi, Brother Tang.”
Bai Qiuran took back his own horse that had run aside because of the fright.
“Brother Tang, do you know where there is a restaurant nearby? I’m in a very good mood today. I must invite you for a drink.”
Two hours later, Bai Qiuran sat in the opposite of Tang Wei in a restaurant beside the official road of Shangxuan Kingdom.
On the table were a bottle of wine, two pounds of cooked beef, and two sauteed side dishes.
“Come, Brother Tang, drink a cup.”
Bai Qiuran raised his cup and said enthusiastically to Tang Wei.
“What……”
Tang Wei reluctantly held up his cup, touched Bai Qiuran’s, and then took a sip.
The liquid in the throat burned his esophagus like a blaze, Tang Wei stretched his face, turned his head, and then spat out his tongue quietly in a spot that Bai Qiuran couldn’t see.
“Brother Tang, is this your first time to go out?”
Seeing Tang Wei’s unnatural reaction, Bai Qiuran said with a smile:
“You don’t have to drink too much. The most important thing about drinking is mood. Being drunk is not only a mistake, but it is also bad for your body.”
“It’s not like what a person who is trying to force people to drink will say.”
Tang Wei sighed and put down the wine cup in his hand.
“Sorry, this is my habit, mainly because I really want to make friends with Brother Tang.”
Bai Qiuran said with a smile:
“Don’t you think it would be a great pleasure to meet someone who is interested in you and have a drink together?”
“It depends on the time and the occasion.”
Tang Wei sighed and said:
“I’m on my way and I have work to do.”
“I do too.”
Bai Qiuran said:
“But since a thousand … well, some time ago, I have understood a fact. I don’t have to be so anxious on the road of life, enjoy the good things on the side of the road, that is the meaning of life. I used to focus too much on one thing and ignored a lot of things in life. So even if I have a life-or-death urgent now, I’m not in a hurry. ”
After that, he added another sentence in his heart: Anyway, the soul taker can’t beat me.
Tang Wei muttered: “Urgent? I think you’re pretty laid back.”
“Then you say that you are in an urgent situation. Where are you going? Tell me about it.”
“I mainly came out to pick some herbs this time. I need to eat it myself.”
Bai Qiuran picked the cooked beef with chopsticks and then replied:
“In terms of location, I remember it was in the middle of the Mang Mountain in the middle of the Shangxuan Kingdom. Well, I don’t know if that place is still called by that name.”
“You want to go to Mang Mountain?”
Hearing Bai Qiuran’s words, Tang Wei looked at him very unexpectedly.
“Yes, is there anything wrong?”
Bai Qiuran asked.
“No, it’s just that there have been demons in that mountain recently, devouring living people. I heard that many people nearby have already been eaten by it, and even martial art masters have been killed and injured a lot.”
Tang Wei paused and said:
“Actually my destination is also there.”
“That’s a coincidence.”
Bai Qiuran laughed:
“But I heard that Gu Province is the place where the Qingming Sword Sect is located. If there are demons on a rampage, why don’t you go to the Qingming Sword Sect? I think they should be happy to help and kill the demons.”
“Qingming Sword Sect, huh?”
Speaking of this topic, Tang Wei’s face suddenly became very unsightly, he hummed coldly:
“They will, but it is just the merits of earning the ‘good karma’, not that cultivators are good!”
“It seems Brother Tang has a lot of opinions on Qingming Sword Sect.”
Bai Qiuran quietly said.
“These cultivators collect many offerings from countries of Gu Province every year. They say to protect the world and the righteous path, but now people of Shangxuan Kingdom are living in misery, where are they?”
Tang Wei said angrily.
“The modus operandi of Qingming Sword Sect is not to interfere in the internal affairs of the mortal world. I have come along and heard some news. The situation in the Shangxuan Kingdom today is caused by the inaction of the senior officials. Therefore, Qingming Sword Sect’s action is reasonable…”
Bai Qiuran said:
“…But if someone goes up the mountain and ask the disciples of Qingming Sword Sect to go down the mountain to protect the safety of the people, I believe they will agree.”
“Do not interfere in the internal affairs of the mortal world?”
Tang Wei sneered:
“Did you know? The current spiritual advisor of the Shangxuan Kingdom is from the Qingming Sword Sect. He told the emperor and princes many rumors about immortality and make them not care about people’s livelihood… ”
“Is that so?”
Bai Qiuran frowned.
He didn’t want to care about the internal affairs of Shangxuan Kingdom at first, but if it really involved Qingming Sword Sect, then as an ancestor, he could not turn a blind eye.
Whether there was a sc.u.m among Qingming’s disciples, or someone disguised to use Qingming Sword Sect’s name, he must deal with this and not let the sect created by his teacher be ashamed.
After making up his mind, he decided that after collecting the medicinal herbs, he would go to the Shangxuan Kingdom’s capital to take a look. Bai Qiuran skipped this unpleasant topic and said:
“Brother Tang, since your destination is also a Mang Mountain, then I have a proposal. On this journey, we might as well go together, so we can take care of each other. What do you think?”
