Chapter 5: Persuading The Other Party to Drink Up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the bandits were all killed, Bai Qiuran sheathed his sword.

“Brother.”

He cupped his hands at the noble young master and said, “Thank you for your help. May I know your name?”

The noble young master frowned and did not answer Bai Qiuran.

“They’ve already escaped. Why do you have to kill them all? Let bygones be bygones.”

“Brother, look at them. Do you think they’re people who understand the principle of ‘let bygones be bygones’?”

Bai Qiuran shook his head and replied with a smile, “If they fail today and you and I let them off today, they will forget their fear again tomorrow. Then, they will pick up their weapons, and continue to come out to harm others. At that time, those who encounter him might not be able to protect themselves like the two of us. By getting rid of evil, we can save more innocent lives.”

The nobleman bit his lip and remained silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Bai Qiuran continued to ask, “Brother, may I know your name?”

“What use is knowing my name to you?”

“We met by chance. I only helped because I witnessed an injustice. Goodbye.” The noble young master sheathed his sword and said indifferently.

“It’s fate that allowed us to meet.”

“Brother, you’ve helped me. I should treat you to a drink.” Bai Qiuran chuckled and said.

“With your strength, you don’t need me to do anything at all. I was the one being nosy.”

The noble young master declined.

“You want to treat me to a drink, but I don’t deserve it.”

“No, no, no. Strength is not important to me. What’s important is that you’re not ordinary. I think your courage and chivalry are very valuable.”

Bai Qiuran insisted.

“I’ve already said so much, but you’re still unwilling to tell me your name. That’s too disappointing.”

The young master revealed a hesitant expression. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and replied.

“My name is Tang Wei.”

“So it’s Brother Tang.”

Bai Qiuran cupped his hands and led his horse that had run to the side in shock.

“Brother Tang, do you know any restaurants nearby? I’m in a very good mood today. I must treat you to a drink.”

Two hours later, in a wilderness restaurant beside the official road of the Profound Heaven Country, Bai Qiuran and Tang Wei sat opposite each other.

On the table was a pot of Booming Knife Wine. There was also half a kilogram of cooked beef and two side dishes that made one salivate.

“Come, Brother Tang, let me toast you.”

Bai Qiuran raised his glass and said warmly to Tang Wei.

“Ha…”

Tang Wei raised his glass very helplessly and clinked it with Bai Qiuran’s before taking a sip.

The wine that entered his throat burned his esophagus like a raging fire. Tang Wei’s face was tense as he turned his head. Then, he quietly stuck out his tongue in a blind spot that Bai Qiuran could not see.

“Brother Tang, this is your first time traveling, right?”

Seeing Tang Wei’s unnatural reaction, Bai Qiuran smiled and said, “There’s no need to drink too much. The most important thing is to lift up our mood. If you get too drunk, not only will it cause trouble, but it’s also bad for your body.”

“This really doesn’t sound like something a person who would force others to drink would say.”

Tang Wei sighed and put down the wine glass in his hand.

“I’m sorry, that’s just how I am. It’s mainly because I really want to be friends with Brother Tang.”

“Don’t you think it’s very enjoyable to meet someone you like and have a drink with?” Bai Qiuran chuckled and said.

“That depends on the time and occasion.”

“I still have something important to do in my journey. I’m in a hurry.” Tang Wei sighed and said.

“Me too.”

“However, some time ago, I figured out a principle. There’s no need to be so anxious on the path of life. Focus on the things by the roadside and enjoy the beautiful things in life. In the past, I was too focused on one thing and neglected many things. Therefore, even if it’s urgent now, I’m not anxious at all.” Bai Qiuran said.

In any case, the Soul Hunter Envoy could not defeat him.

With that said, he added in his heart, “What urgent matter? I think you’re quite relaxed.”

“You said that you’re also in a hurry, then why don’t you tell me where you’re going? I want to hear it.” Tang Wei muttered.

“I’m mainly here to pick some herbs this time. I need to eat them myself.”

Bai Qiuran picked up a piece of cooked beef with his chopsticks and replied.

“As for the location, I remember that it’s in the Rogue Mountain in the middle of the Profound Heaven COuntry. Yes, I wonder if that place is still called that.”

“You’re going to the Rogue Mountain?”

Hearing Bai Qiuran’s words, Tang Wei looked at him in surprise.

“That’s right. Is something wrong?”

Bai Qiuran asked.

“No, it’s just that demons have been appearing in that mountain area recently and devouring living people. I heard that many people in the vicinity have already been harmed by it. Even many martial arts experts have died.” Bai Qiuran asked.

“Actually, that is also my destination.” Tang Wei paused for a moment and said.

“What a coincidence.”

“However, I heard that the Gu Continent is where the Green Destiny Sword Sect, a large cultivation sect, is. If there are demons that disturb the world, why don’t you go and find the people of the Green Destiny Sword Sect? They should be very happy to take action and eliminate the evil for the common people, right?”

“Hmph, don’t even mention the Green Destiny Sword Sect.”

At the mention of this topic, Tang Wei’s expression suddenly became very ugly.

“They would only help because they want to obtain merit from doing something righteous. Cultivators are not good people!”

“Looks like Brother Tang has a lot of objections to the Green Destiny Sword Sect.”

Bai Qiuran said faintly.

“That group of cultivators collect offerings from the various countries of our Gu Continent every year. They say that it’s to protect the lives of the world and to maintain righteousness, but now that the people of the Profound Heaven are in deep trouble, where are those cultivators?”

Tang Wei said angrily.

“However, the Green Destiny Sword Sect has a rule not to interfere in the worldly matters of the mortal world. Along the way, I’ve also heard some news. The current situation in the Profound Heaven Country is caused by the inaction of the upper echelons of the Profound Heaven Country, right? In that case, it’s reasonable for the Green Destiny Sword Sect to not interfere.

“However, if someone goes up the mountain and asks the disciples of the Green Destiny Sword Sect to go down the mountain to protect the safety of the people, I believe they will also agree.” Bai Qiuran said.

“Don’t interfere in worldly matters?”

Tang Wei sneered.

“Do you know? The Imperial preceptor of the Heavenly Profound Country was sent by the Green Destiny Sword Sect. He made the Emperor of the Heavenly Profound Country and the princes listen to his lies. They’re muddle-headed and don’t listen to reason. They only wanted to live forever and did not care about the country, causing the people to suffer.

“Is that true?”

Bai Qiuran frowned.

Originally, he did not want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Profound Heaven Country. However, if it really involved the Green Destiny Sword Sect, then as the Uncle-Grandmaster, he could not ignore it.

Be it the scum of the Green Destiny Sect or the fact that someone was using the name of Green Destiny Sword Sect, he had to deal with this matter. He could not embarrass the sect his master had established.

After making up his mind to go to the capital of the Profound Heaven Country to take a look after collecting the herbs, Bai Qiuran skipped this unpleasant topic and changed the topic.

“Brother Tang, since Brother Tang’s destination is also Rogue Mountain, I have a suggestion. Why don’t we travel together on this journey so that we can take care of each other? What do you think?”
