Night Slaying Wind's eyes lit up, and his expression grew increasingly profound as he murmured, "Ninth day of the twelfth month... Hmph, Lan is indeed quick to act..."
Chu Yang said nervously, "Brother Lan, be quiet."
Night Slaying Wind turned his head, laughed heartily, and gave Chu Yang a thumbs up: "Brother Chu, such a good friend!"
Chu Yang smiled nervously: "I only knew this much by chance..."
"No matter what, Night Slaying Wind deeply appreciates the feelings!" Night Slaying Wind tightly grasped Chu Yang's hand and shook it: "Thank you!"
Chu Yang sincerely replied, "No matter what, if Brother Ye treats me as a friend, I will naturally treat you as one too. Between friends, there's no need for such courtesy... Hehe... Well, I will shamelessly accept this Spirit Jade Ginseng."
Night Slaying Wind's mouth twitched, and he laughed heartily: "Brother Chu, you are a true friend! A true brother!"
Chu Yang laughed heartily: "Come, come, come, Brother Ye, let's drink until we're drunk. Eat more, eat more! It's rare to find someone who enjoys the dishes I make, haha..."
Night Slaying Wind stuffed himself with various foods that Chu Yang offered. Several times, he tried to leave but was held back by Chu Yang's overwhelming display of friendship until the plates were empty. Only then was he allowed to leave.
As Night Slaying Wind exited Orchid Fragrance Garden, he began to cultivate and flew off, turning a couple of corners before standing under a large tree, digging his finger into his mouth and violently vomiting...
"Damn it, is this food? I’ve endured so many poisons during my anti-poison training back in the day, and none felt as terrible as this… I truly admire that guy for eating it so deliciously; he must be extremely inexperienced..."
Night Slaying Wind cursed while throwing up.
"Wait till I get my hands free; I won’t let you off so easily, you bastard... Hmph!" Eventually, Night Slaying Wind left.
Chu Yang hummed a little tune and waved his hand to clean up the mess, not knowing where it ended up. He then played with the Spirit Jade Ginseng, a proud expression on his face.
Now, he was making money purely with his wits.
This stuff came too easily.
Haha.
Before he could come to his senses, someone called out from outside: "Is Brother Chu here?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang responded, "Yes, yes, I'm here, haha... Brother Ye, what a rare visitor!"
Ye Mengse stepped in nonchalantly and looked around: "I heard Brother Chu has beautiful women here. I wanted to come take a look..."
Chu Yang laughed casually: "It's just a concubine, a willow-like figure, a willow-like figure. Haha..." He lowered his voice and added, "She's sleeping. Hehe... You know how women are; they have a lot going on."
He shot a "you know what I mean" glance.
Ye Mengse laughed heartily: "Brother Chu, to speak frankly, I'm here for something."
"What is it? As long as Brother Ye needs me, I’ll go through fire and water without hesitation!" Chu Yang boldly patted his chest with a grand spirit.
"Brother Chu, I just saw Night Slaying Wind leave here, looking both in pain and joyful." Ye Mengse smiled slightly, then said seriously: "It seems Night Slaying Wind is quite dissatisfied with you, even threatening to kill you... Brother Chu, you’ve just arrived and don't understand the situation here. The Ye Family is the first noble family; offending him is unwise."
Chu Yang furiously retorted, "What do you mean by that? Just now, Night Slaying Wind was drinking and calling me brother; I even sent him an extremely important message... How could he turn around and want to kill me?"
Ye Mengse sighed: "Brother Chu, how can you believe a person like him?"
Chu Yang paused and smiled wryly: "Perhaps, but I don't see Night Slaying Wind as a fickle person."
Ye Mengse chuckled lightly, leaving it ambiguous: "Brother Chu, time reveals a person's heart. We won't argue about this; you'll know in time."
Continuing, he said: "Since I saw you at Desperate Lake last time, we hit it off well. I've been incredibly busy since then. Today, I finally found time to gather with you."
