Longyuan Haoyu stared at Qin Wentian, his countenance was extremely sharp. Qin Wentian had issued an expulsion order, truly not giving him face at all.
He was already willing to compromise and no longer sought trouble with Qin Wentian. As long as Qin Wentian sent Jin Zhi back, the Heaven Immortal Tower was willing to express their good will and this matter will be concluded just like this. However, Qin Wentian felt that it should be the Heaven Immortal Tower apologizing first before he would release his hostage.
How tyrannical.
“Farewell.” He coldly spoke before flicking his sleeves and departing, feeling extremely angry.
Qin Wentian stared at Longyuan Haoyu’s vanishing silhouette with no expression on his face. As expected of a world overlord from a major power, that pride was innate in his bones as though it was only logical that Qin Wentian had to compromise first.
Seeing Longyuan Haoyu simply leaving like this, the beautiful eyes of Jin Zhi stared straight ahead blankly. He was going to leave just like that?
Her man personally came. Qin Wentian still refused to free her. At this moment, boundless sorrow filled her heart.
“This is the source of your reliance. You felt that you are a lofty individual because of your relationship with that world overlord. However, he didn’t even spare you a single glance.” Qin Wentian had his back facing to Jin Zhi as he calmly spoke. His voice was like swords stabbing into Jin Zhi’s heart. That was right, what was she considered as? Just a woman who could be abandoned anytime. Right now, Longyuan Haoyu probably didn’t want to have anything to do with her any longer.
“Pitiful woman, scram.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. Jin Zhi started, she stared at Qin Wentian but there was some disbelief on her face. “You are going to release me?”
“I just wanted you to see clearly what situation you are in. This can be considered the price you have to pay for your actions. What’s the purpose of me making you stay? I disdain to kill you.” Qin Wentian still didn’t look at Jin Zhi. He felt no sympathy. Pitiful humans would always have their own detestable points.
Jin Zhi stared dumbly at Qin Wentian. Longyuan Haoyu personally came by but Qin Wentian domineeringly replied saying that the Heaven Immortal Tower had to apologize first. But after Longyuan Haoyu left, Qin Wentian actually was going to release her?
This was the Qingcheng Realmlord’s attitude? The Dragon Pool Manor couldn’t get him to compromise. He would release her simply because he felt like it. This was his attitude because he had his own pride.
Jin Zhi cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian before leaving this place. She would no longer return to the Heaven Immortal Tower or go to find Longyuan Haoyu again. Their relationship has ended. Even if she really went to find Longyuan Haoyu now, the other party most probably wouldn’t want to see her. She would only feel even more sorrowful.
After Jin Zhi left, Qin Wentian glanced at the empty space. “Sir, have you seen enough?”
“Oh, I’m discovered.” A low voice rang out. After that, a man in white robes walked out from the void. He was entirely dressed in white, unstained by dust completely. In fact, he even had a pair of white brows. Only his black eyes were full of spirit.
“How interesting, the Dragon Pool Manor came by wanting you to free the serving girl but you refused to compromise. After that, you freed her because you felt that she had already paid the price for her actions? What a wondrous person you are.” The white-browed man laughed.
“Sir, it isn’t too good for you to hide and spy on me, right?” Qin Wentian stared at him.
“This…” His brows twitched but he soon smiled. “I saw that Longyuan Haoyu was here, hence I came over for a look in case he creates trouble.”
“Even if he creates trouble, what does that have to do with you?” Qin Wentian spoke.
“Naturally it would have something to do with me. I’m the boss of this inn.” The white-browed man spoke like it should be as such. Qin Wentian started, the white-browed man before his eyes was actually the boss of the Ten Miles Inn? He was that interesting person who allowed him free food and lodging here?
“Even if you are the inn’s boss, you should spectate openly if you want to spectate. Why must you intentionally use your world heart’s ability to hide in the void? That’s truly lacking in manners.” Qin Wentian laughed.
“Who knew that I would be discovered?” The white-browed man depressedly mumbled. After that, he laughed, “Also, this inn belongs to me, what’s the problem if I come here to take a look. Don’t forget that I was the one who allowed you to wine, dine and lodge here for free. So please don’t take it to heart about such a minor matter of me hiding in the shadows okay…?”
Qin Wentian had a face filled with black lines, he didn’t expect the boss of this inn to be such a weirdo. This logic caused him to be somewhat speechless and he actually didn’t know how to reply. It’s true that this inn belonged to this man and they were dining and lodging for free. He didn’t need to pay a single cent.
“Seems like it is still better for me to pay up.” Qin Wentian speechlessly replied.
“Haha, I was just joking. I’m a very straightforward person. The purpose for me showing up is to invite you for a drink. You should have came here for the purpose of attending the Convention of the Myriad Realms, right? I have a few buddies who love to drink too and they would also be participating in the convention. Are you interested to get acquainted with them?” The white-browed man then continued, “Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is a little strange, I’m called Ten Miles Springwind, you can directly refer to me as Ten Miles. Such a poetic name like this can also be considered very rare in the world. It should be very easy to remember.”
“Mhm, I can tell.” Qin Wentian’s face was still filled with black lines. He really could tell…he could tell that this inn’s boss seemed to be extremely narcissistic. Earlier, he chose to stay in the shadows to peek yet he still claimed that he was a straightforward person and even praised his own name. How utterly shameless.
“Everyone says that. Although Qingcheng Realmlord is somewhat tacky, your strength isn’t too bad. Although the elegance of our names is very far apart, it’s quite easy to remember too.” Ten Miles Springwind seriously spoke. Jun Mengchen and the others, who were behind Qin Wentian, all had their eyes wide open as they stared dumbfoundedly at this world overlord before them. Today, it can be considered that their horizons were broadened. So there were such shameless individuals among world overlords as well.
“Let’s go, let’s go. If we go there late, those drunkards would force me to give them even more alcohol.” Ten Miles Springwind hurried Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian glanced at the people behind him, “Do you all want to join us?”
“It’s fine, we will just stay here.” They smiled. Although this inn’s boss didn’t seem to put on any airs at all, he was truly somewhat shameless. However, it was also clear that he wasn’t someone ordinary. Qin Wentian might have the qualifications to sit with them but this doesn’t mean that the rest of them were qualified. There was no meaning even if they went.
Qin Wentian nodded, he stared at Ten Miles Springwind, “Let’s go then.”
“Alright, don’t worry. The location is in my inn itself, you will be able to see the situation here, nothing bad will happen to your friends and family.” Ten Miles Springwind spoke. After all, this was his inn. He did have this bit of confidence.
Qin Wentian followed Ten Miles Springwind. Jun Mengchen felt a sense of defeat as he stared at their backs. “No, this can’t continue. I’m going to enter closed-door seclusion. In this Time City where there are world overlords everywhere, I truly feel a sense of inferiority.”
“If you directly use your comprehensions of heavenheart mandates to manifest a world heart, you could have long already entered the world overlord realm. Who asked you to follow Wentian’s example? Hmph.” Little Rascal mumbled. Jun Mengchen directly turned around and rapped his head. “Senior can do this, why can’t I? If you are not happy, why don’t we fight right here and now?”
After hearing his words, Little Rascal shrank back as he whispered in a low voice. “Violent brute…”
Ten Miles Springwind led Qin Wentian to a separate pavillion. This was the best location in the entire inn, one could see magnificent scenery here and there were trees with shade-giving foliage. The atmosphere here was extremely peaceful and it was naturally a wonderful thing to be able to enjoy alcohol here.
When Qin Wentian arrived, he noticed three others already sitting in the pavilion. It was an old man, a middle-aged man and a woman. These three completely different people were actually gathered here. In addition to Ten Miles Springwind, the four of them had four completely different types of personalities.
The first person Qin Wentian glanced at was that old man. This was because he met this old man before. In the past, when they were travelling to Time City, this was the old man whom Jun Mengchen doubted. Who could have thought that this old man was a friend of Ten Miles Springwind and he could encounter him again here. The old man narrowed his eyes into slits as he surveyed Qin Wentian as well.
The middle-aged man was clad in robes that were blood-red in color, and was extremely conspicuous. He had a beard and thick brows with big eyes, as well as shoulder-length hair. With a single glance, one could instantly feel how imposing he was. Such an aura was akin to that of emperors, extraordinary to the extreme.
The woman looked very young. She was clad in a long dress that accentuated her perfect figure. Her beauty was comparable to Jin Zhi but she had a heroic air to her.
“Little white-brows, where did you go to for such a long time? Did you go to prepare more good alcohol for us?” The old man narrowed his eyes, smiling at Ten Miles Springwind. The gaze of this old man seemed extremely shameless.
“If you refer to me like that again, you won’t have any alcohol to drink today.” Ten Miles Springwind replied in anger. His earlier boastings to Qin Wentian was completely unraveled.
“Okay, okay. The young and handsome Springwind Overlord, what good alcohol have you prepared?” The old man was simply like a drunkard, he kept asking Ten Miles Springwind for alcohol.
“This address is much more appropriate.” Ten Miles Springwind nodded with a smile. He brought Qin Wentian to the front of the pavilion and took out a jar of wine. “This is the alcohol today.”
“Just so little?” The old man spoke depressedly. “This amount of alcohol isn’t even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. Are you a stinking beggar?”
“Since there’s a new friend today, why don’t you take out another jar?” Ten Miles Springwind then took out another jar of wine.
“When Phoenix joined us that year, you weren’t so stingy. Are you looking down on our new friend?” The old man laughed.
“Cough, cough…” Ten Miles Springwind coughed, he then hurriedly replied, “Am I such a person? I was naturally just kidding around with you guys. I only have three jars of wine left. Old ghost, you should know how difficult it is to obtain such wine. Each of you can have one jar. I only have so much.”
“Phoenix, he is looking down on you.” The old man spoke to the woman. Back then when Phoenix first joined them, he only added two jars of wine.
“So boring. I shall leave then. Don’t call me for another gathering in the future.” The woman turned and was really preparing to leave.
“Wait. I will add two more jars as an apology.” Ten Miles Springwind didn’t expect that these fellows were such frauds. They didn’t meet each other for ten thousand years and were actually so shameless the moment they met?
“Brother Cao, I can be considered loyal enough to our brotherhood now, right?” Ten Miles Springwind stared at the middle-aged man.
“I control endless stretches of territories, what would I be lacking? Good food, good wine and beauties, I can have them anytime I want. Only in your place do I find that it’s so difficult just wanting to drink some good wine. Also, this is a gathering that only occurs once every ten thousand years. What is there still to talk about?” The middle-aged man calmly spoke, his voice was filled with an imposingness to it.
“Consider yourselves ruthless.” Ten Miles Springwind took out another eight jars of wine and placed an interspatial ring on the table. “Take a look for yourselves. It’s already empty.”
“This is the Brother Ten Miles we know. Straightforward indeed.” The middle-aged man’s imposingness melted away as he smiled. Each of their expressions changed faster than flipping the pages of a book.
“Alright, it’s time to introduce this new friend.” The old man smiled at Qin Wentian. “Recently, your fame is truly not low. You even dare to antagonize the Dragon Pool Manor.”
“Seems like old sir already knows about everything.” Qin Wentian smiled.
“Staying in this lousy inn, it’s tough even if we didn’t want to know about it.” Phoenix laughed as she stared at Qin Wentian.
