Chapter 374

~7 min read 1,225 words

One must know,

regarding the matter of the Wumu Legacy Book,

apart from the few people he trusted most, no one else knew about it. Such an important matter was absolutely the most critical secret for Xiangyang City.

Therefore, even among the group who came with him to Snow Moon City, only Lu Lu Wende, who held an important position in the army, knew about it.

“Could it be that Senior Huang told Brother Jiang?”

Guo Jing thought carefully,

and after confirming that neither he nor Lu Lu Wende had slipped up while drinking just now, he could only think of this as the only possibility.

Yes!

Brother Jiang himself had just said that he had already met Senior Huang.

And judging by Brother Jiang’s tone,

Senior Huang didn’t seem to object to his daughter being with the other party.

With this relationship,

it made sense that Senior Huang would favor Brother Jiang.

Guo Jing brainstormed for a while,

feeling that he had suddenly figured out many things.

Just like the doubt he had always harbored: why, on the way to Snow Moon City, Senior Huang had consistently advised Senior Wang Chongyang not to come to Snow Moon City to cause trouble for Brother Jiang.

Now it seems,

the reason Brother Jiang had heard of him was likely because Senior Huang had mentioned it to him.

No wonder Brother Jiang knew so much about him.

Logically, even if the other party had heard of his deeds, they shouldn’t have been so detailed.

As a result, during their time together just now,

Brother Jiang not only knew many things about him, but even some situations in Xiangyang City, which he could mention casually, as if he had been to Xiangyang City himself.

At this very moment.

Guo Jing suddenly noticed Huang Huang Yaoshi and Hong Hong Qigong walking down from the second floor.

"Senior Huang! Senior Hong!"

He hurriedly walked up to stop the two of them.

Upon seeing who it was, both Huang Huang Yaoshi and Hong Hong Qigong revealed a hint of a smile.

Regarding this junior, Guo Jing,

it could be said that both his character and his actions had won their deep admiration.

Huang Huang Yaoshi sniffed the air, then looked at Guo Jing with a speechless expression: "Jing'er, how much have you been drinking? Why do you reek of alcohol?"

Guo Jing gave an honest, simple smile:

"I just met a little brother, and we hit it off immediately, so I drank a bit too much."

"I say, Huang Huang Laoxie, you're being a bit too meddlesome."

Hong Hong Qigong rolled his eyes at Huang Huang Yaoshi, then came up to Guo Jing, patted his shoulder, and laughed heartily:

"It's rare to have a chance to leave Xiangyang City. Since that's the case, don't think about those troublesome matters in Xiangyang City while you're here. It's rare to be able to relax, so naturally, you should do whatever makes you comfortable."

However, immediately after,

he suddenly pressed his nose against Guo Jing and sniffed hard,

then widened his eyes with a look as if he had seen a ghost: "Did you kid just drink that Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine?"

The moment he took his first sip, he had completely fallen in love with it.

This Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine,

it was simply too much to his taste!

It was a pity that the shopkeeper here actually said this wine was limited to one serving per table?

Fortunately, relying on his thick skin,

he had managed to get some of the wine from Huang Huang Yaoshi and the others as well.

Huang Huang Yaoshi, standing to the side, couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing this.

He had been to Snow Moon City before,

so naturally, he knew about this Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine.

He had only been able to drink his fill of it when he was with the Third City Master of Snow Moon City, Brother Sikong Changfeng.

"Jing'er, you just said you met a new friend?"

In just an instant,

Huang Huang Yaoshi knew that the reason Guo Jing was able to drink so much of the Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine must have something to do with the "little brother" the other party mentioned.

"What little brother?"

Hong Hong Qigong looked at Guo Jing with a curious expression,

his eyes darted around a few times, and then he said with a beaming smile: "For you to call someone a little brother, that person must be quite interesting. Why not introduce me to him? You know, I love making friends in the Wu Lin more than anything."

"Heh..."

"Since when did I know you liked making friends in the Wu Lin?"

Huang Huang Yaoshi mocked: "But being a glutton is certainly true."

Having his little secret exposed by Huang Huang Yaoshi in front of his junior, Guo Jing, Hong Hong Qigong immediately glared: "So what if I'm a glutton? Does that conflict with making friends?!"

Seeing that the two were about to argue again,

Guo Jing hurriedly stopped them: "Senior Huang, Senior Hong, let's not talk about that for now. I actually called you both over because of this little brother."

"Oh?"

"Is this person very special?"

Huang Huang Yaoshi was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed casually: "But it's normal for him to be special. Snow Moon City has a host of allied factions; perhaps the other party is an important disciple of some faction in the Beili Wu Lin that is on good terms with Snow Moon City."

"No, the other party is a person from Snow Moon City."

Guo Jing looked at Huang Huang Yaoshi: "And he said he is that Jiang Chen, and he also mentioned that he knows you, Senior Huang."

"Jiang Chen?!"

Huang Huang Yaoshi's expression froze: "Are you sure?"

Guo Jing shook his head: "I'm not sure either, but listening to his words, that should be what he meant."

"What kind of medicine is this kid selling in his gourd?"

Huang Huang Yaoshi muttered to himself, then slowly said: "Tell me about what happened just now."

Upon hearing this,

Guo Jing hurriedly recounted what had happened in detail.

After a while, his head had cleared up quite a bit, and he slowly began to feel that it was a bit strange for Jiang Chen to have suddenly sought him out.

If Brother Jiang was indeed that Jiang Chen,

then with his strength,

even if he had heard of his own deeds, logically there was no need to specifically come to see him.

And after Guo Jing finished speaking,

before Huang Huang Yaoshi could open his mouth, Hong Hong Qigong jumped up first.

"All three jars of wine were drunk by you guys? Not a drop left?"

Guo Jing looked at the somewhat exasperated Hong Hong Qigong and nodded sheepishly.

Because it was indeed all gone.

Those who had followed him over, although they were all drunk to the point of collapsing,

perhaps because they all knew this wine was extremely precious, before they passed out, they had all tacitly finished every last drop in their bowls.

So, let alone the wine in the jars,

even if you added up all the bowls these people drank from, you probably couldn't scrape together a single drop.

"Don't pay any attention to this beggar."
