the Xie family’s reputation has soared in recent years, putting them in direct conflict with the established Wang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demeanor of this year’s Yunxi sister was once displayed by Xie Xuan of the Xie family last year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the real master, Xie Xuan, was absent, so no ripples were stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, it was even more striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yunxi had hired a Foundation Establishment-level brewing master to serve each guest a cup of Spirit Spring Wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the spirit wine entered his throat, Yu Ke felt a warm current surge within him—fine as silk, thick as tide—its miraculous effect repairing his meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glimmer flashed in his eyes, then faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a man with shattered meridians like him, this spirit wine, though excellent, was like a drop in the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the value of this spirit wine was enough to leave everyone in the hall stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yunxi’s generosity and magnanimity left a deep impression on all present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xie Xuan entered the inner sect, he too hosted a banquet, but never offered such rare spirit wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night banquet drew to a close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright moon hung high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone rose, preparing to return to their quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ke, well-fed and slightly drunk, was about to leave when a figure suddenly blocked his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu brother, don’t go yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Zhou Liang, appearing out of nowhere, his expression furtive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ke felt deeply puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As most guests had already departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Liang, seeing only a few people remained in the hall, lowered his voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu brother, come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Yu Ke’s body followed without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Zhou Liang stopped a serving girl and asked gently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This elegant immortal, I recall the rule of Dengxian Tower: if one spends enough, they may stay overnight—is that correct?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Liang’s use of “immortal” made the serving girl blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir flatters me—Dengxian Tower does indeed have such a refined custom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serving girls at Dengxian Tower were all carefully selected junior disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, each with fine looks and figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Liang smiled broadly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then please, miss, reserve us two premium rooms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the serving girl led Zhou Liang and Yu Ke through the dimly lit corridor to two elegantly decorated premium rooms, then departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Liang draped an arm over Yu Ke’s shoulder and laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu brother, I didn’t forget your share of the good fortune.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The discounts the Wang family looks down on—we might as well take them; a room like this normally costs seventy-six spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ke couldn’t help thinking of how in his past life, you could stay overnight after a foot massage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was spotless, far better than his own courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Yu Ke was about to speak, Zhou Liang suddenly patted his shoulder, eyes gleaming with excitement, then hurried off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother has urgent business tonight—we’ll talk another day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ke glanced curiously down the corridor: the same serving girl, now blushing furiously, followed Zhou Liang into a nearby room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You bastard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ke shut the door and lay down on the soft bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched out in a big “big” shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yu Ke stared at the ceiling, lost in thoughts of his reincarnation, his [Kunxu Ding] trembled slightly, and text appeared upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Cooldown complete.
