Chapter 106: Blue-Clad Man
On Nanling Street, the most prosperous street in the South City of Jia Yuan City, there was a giant mansion covering several acres. On the black-lacquered gate of the mansion hung a plaque with the two characters "Mo Mansion." On both sides under the plaque stood eight strong men in tight clothing. These men in tight clothing were all standing tall with their chests out, eyes straight ahead, looking like a well-trained and elite force, making anyone who saw them not dare to underestimate them.
Not far from the Mo Mansion, across the street, was a three-story Xiang Family Wine House. This building was also a large wine house that could be ranked in Jia Yuan City, especially its signature wine "Hundred Mile Fragrance," which was a famous good wine, attracting many merchants who came for its reputation.
At this time, it was noon, so the Xiang Family Wine House was crowded, with people sitting at tables from the first floor to the third floor, full of people eating and drinking.
Pedestrians passing by on the street outside the wine house could smell the thick fragrance of wine and food coming from the wine house, which was mouth-watering and very tempting.
Sitting at a table by the window on the second floor facing the street was a young man, with some delicious meat and vegetable dishes on the table, and a bottle of the famous "Hundred Mile Fragrance" clear wine. Standing behind the young man was a giant man who was daunting to look at; this person was Han Li, who had come out to inquire about news.
Han Li was looking down at something from the window, playing with a small wine cup filled with wine in his hand, and he hadn't moved much of the food on the table, looking like a lazy person who was absent-minded.
Han Li glanced sideways at the Mo Mansion not far away, then retracted his gaze to look at the street in front of him. His expression remained unchanged, but he raised his head and drank the cup of wine, then continued to look out of the building in a daze.
After inquiring, Han Li already knew that Doctor Mo's two biological daughters and that adopted daughter were all as beautiful as flowers and jade, and were the three famous beauties of Jia Yuan City, so they were jokingly called the Three Prides of the Mo Mansion.
Because their beauty was famous far and wide, the young masters and heroic young knights who pursued them were countless.
And Mo Mo Yuzhu was the one with the most pursuers among the three. Her engagement caused a huge uproar, making most of her pursuers heartbroken. Some who possessed martial arts skills went to challenge that Young Master Wu one after another, but as a result, they were defeated by this Wu Wu Jianming sixteen times in a row, which instead created his reputation for peerless martial arts, making him and that Mo Mo Yuzhu even more inseparable and affectionate.
Thinking about this, Han Li felt it was really quite ridiculous. Others didn't know what the background of this Young Master Wu was, but Han Li knew it very well.
This Young Master Wu was most likely sent by Doctor Mo's rivals. It seemed that Doctor Mo's absence for so many years had already aroused the suspicion of his rivals, and the arrival of this Young Master Wu was probably a probing act. It was just unknown what method he used to gain the trust of the Mo Mansion's wives; presumably, ordinary tokens and letters wouldn't have made Doctor Mo's wives easily believe him.
Han Li tapped the table with his fingers while pondering the questions in his heart.
"Young Master, please, sit here! The dishes you ordered will be served immediately." A waiter in a white short jacket led a blue-clad young man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old up to the second floor and brought him to an empty table next to Han Li's, then hurriedly went down to greet other guests.
This blue-clad young man had regular features, thick brows, and big eyes, with quite a bit of heroic spirit between his brows.
After sitting down, he looked around, and just happened to meet Han Li's gaze.
Han Li felt a strange depth in the other party's eyes, as if there was some strange attraction that was about to suck him in. Han Li was startled, hurriedly turned his head away, and his face changed slightly.
This person was also unexpectedly startled, but then looked at Han Li coldly, turned his head, and ignored this side.
Han Li's face was a bit pale. That look from the other party just now made him feel like he had been seen through inside and out, which made him very horrified.
This feeling of being seen through at a glance was the first time Han Li had tasted it.
After the blue-clad man's table was full of wine and food, he began to eat and drink heartily, looking like there was no one else around.
Han Li, however, was restless and uneasy.
Although he hadn't used the Heavenly Eye Art to observe the other party, the powerful spiritual power vaguely emitted from the blue-clad man still shocked him hard. He knew very well that the other party was definitely a cultivator with much deeper magic power than himself.
Before this, Han Li had only seen two cultivators, Yu Yu Zitong and Golden Light Master. These two were one a primordial spirit who had lost all his magic power, and the other had pitifully low magic power, and he had killed them as soon as they met. Therefore, Han Li didn't know much about cultivators, and in his mind, they were still full of mysterious colors. He really didn't know how to deal with this situation where the other party was much stronger than himself.
"This blue-clad man wouldn't be like how I treated Golden Light Master, wiping me out as soon as he makes a move, right?" Han Li couldn't help but think of the worst.
As a result, in Han Li's worried and fearful state, this blue-clad man finished his meal. He took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, threw down a tael of silver, and left gracefully. From beginning to end, he didn't look at Han Li's side again, as if he had forgotten Han Li completely.
Only after this person had completely left the wine house did Han Li let out a long breath and slumped into his chair. Although the blue-clad man's meal time was very short, he felt it was as long as a whole day. The mental pressure it gave him was too great, as if he had just had a life-and-death battle with someone.
At this time, the blue-clad man appeared at the alley entrance at the other end of the street, where another thirty-something yellow-clad man was waiting.
"Old Four, why are you late? We still have to meet with Big Brother and the others!" The yellow-clad man said with some dissatisfaction.
"Hehe! Second Brother, don't be angry! I just haven't eaten the food of the mortal world for several years, so I went to taste it again!" The blue-clad man said with a giggle.
"You glutton! I've told you so many times, we cultivators should be pure-hearted and have few desires, and avoid this kind of excessive eating and drinking. But you just won't listen. This eating and drinking of yours has made your character drop quite a bit." The yellow-clad man glared at the blue-clad man and said without any good air.
"Hehe! I know, I know, it won't happen again! By the way, I saw another cultivator where I was eating." The blue-clad man moved the topic to Han Li to divert the topic.
"Oh! Is that so? Is the opponent's magic power deep and profound?" The man in the yellow shirt indeed shifted his attention to this point.
"The magic power is very shallow, looking like he has just reached the seventh or eighth layer of the basic cultivation technique, barely enough to qualify for the Ascension Meeting. I really don't understand? Why does someone with such shallow magic power come to Lan Prefecture to join in the fun? Does he really think he can have good luck and win at the Ascension Assembly?" The blue-clad man curled his lips.
"Is the other party old?"
"Seventeen or eighteen years old."
"That's right, the other party is most likely here with his elders, and should be here to broaden his horizons and open his eyes. It is estimated that he will only truly participate when the Ascension Meeting is held ten years later." The yellow-clad man said with a smile.
"I said so! In this way, the other party's aptitude is considered okay. If he practices for another ten years, this person might really reach my level." The blue-clad man said triumphantly.
"Stop bragging! With just that tenth layer of cultivation technique you've just mastered, there are plenty of people at that level at the annual Immortal Ascension Assembly. It won't be too late to brag once you've truly practiced to the eleventh or twelfth layer." The man in the yellow shirt said, feeling both annoyed and amused, and then stopped paying attention to this clown, turning around and leaving.
"Really, if I could practice to the tenth layer or above without taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, then I wouldn't come to participate in the Ascension Meeting! I would just go to apprentice directly." The blue-clad man muttered and followed behind him, also leaving here.
