Fang Yu couldn't help but feel awkward and said, "This... today's treatment has ended."

"..."

Xu Sisi was taken aback, and hastily picked up her clothes, covering her body.

It seems a bit awkward.

"You've just finished your treatment, you should rest here for a while, I'll go out first." Fang Yu avoided eye contact and left the room.

Xu Sisi stared at the Gu poison on the table, lost in thought.

...

Outside.

A scene of joy and revelry, with a cacophony of voices.

Outside the main hall.

There was a grand feast, with many people getting completely drunk, babbling in their intoxication.

At the closest table, Xu Huawen and Chen Daotian were drinking and playing drinking games.

"Hey, isn't that Brother Yu... come on, join us!" Xu Huawen approached, slung an arm over his shoulder, completely discarding the Clan Leader and Great Priest's admonishments.

Fang Yu gave a faint smile and sighed, "I've quit drinking for a long time now. Alcohol, it harms the body when consumed too much."

"Pretending, keep pretending..." Xu Huawen picked up a bottle of liquor, giggling foolishly, "This liquor is so fragrant, even more than a woman... Brother Yu, have one."

He placed the liquor bottle in Fang Yu's hands.

Taking the liquor bottle, Fang Yu said, "Drinking really isn't good... huh? Upper Class Maotai? Just to be clear, I'll only have one glass..."

"Brother Yu, that's what I've been waiting to hear. Brothers, let's all have one together!"

The three of them surrounded the table, lifted their glasses, and downed the drinks in one go.

The other Luli Sect disciples, not daring to be as casual as Xu Huawen, politely offered their toasts.

Chen Daotian said with a smile:

"Fang, you might not know... Brother Yu's alcohol tolerance is like the ocean, no, it's like the Pacific Ocean! Trying to drink with Brother Yu is like not knowing how to spell 'death'!"

"Really? I really must experience that... Brother Yu, I'll drink to your... honor... huh? Brother Yu, going straight for the bottle?"

While Xu Huawen was talking,

Fang Yu lifted that bottle of Maotai and drank heartily.

"Truly satisfying... huh, why are you guys just standing there, don't just watch, drink up..."

Xu Huawen had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

It seems Chen Daotian was right; this isn't just a high tolerance, it's the Pacific Ocean.

The three sat down.

Sipping on their drinks while chatting about life.

"Brother Yu, where's my sister?" Xu Huawen was in high spirits and wished his sister could also enjoy the merry atmosphere.

"Your sister is resting in my room."

"Ah?"

"What are you thinking? I just checked your sister's body, nothing serious. Once we're back in Yanjing, we'll prepare for treatment," said Fang Yu.

Upon hearing this,

Xu Huawen, driven by the effects of the alcohol, became emotional, his eyes reddening as he said, "Brother Yu, I owe you a debt of gratitude that I'll never forget... from now on, I'm following you! If you tell me to go east, I'll go west; if you tell me to go west, I'll go east..."

"..."

Fang Yu frowned slightly, feeling that something about that statement wasn't quite right.

Chen Daotian raised a hand and patted his chest, saying, "Silly boy, had too much to drink? You should go east when told, and never dare to go west; go west when told, and never dare to go east..."

"That's right, that's right..." Xu Huawen laughed naively.

Unknowingly, the moon had risen.

Illuminated by the moonlight, Luli Mountain was even more breathtakingly beautiful.

Amidst this scene, Chen Daotian suddenly let out a sigh and said:

"I didn't realize how fast time has passed; it's been five or six years in a blink of an eye. I remember when I first met Brother Yu, I was just a down-and-out young man. Even though I wasn't as famous as those superstars, I could still be considered a fresh young face. Things change, people change; what used to be, no longer is. Now I've become cured meat with age!"

Fang Yu rolled his eyes and said:

"That's you, I haven't slimmed down since."

"Brother Yu, people say that one should be established by the age of thirty. Have you thought about getting married and having kids?"

Hearing this,

Xu Huawen couldn't help but express his surprise: "Isn't Brother Yu with Miss Ye Family..."

"You don't get it, that was about a family alliance..." Chen Daotian explained.

"Cut the crap, Wenjun and I are genuinely in love... the sun and the moon can bear witness!" Fang Yu rebuked.

"Right, right," Chen Daotian responded with a hypocritical smile.

But Xu Huawen found the conversation intriguing and, taking advantage of his tipsiness, said: "Brother Yu, if you don't mind, how about becoming my brother-in-law..."

"..."

"My sister is a genuine, untouched maiden, not only is she beautiful but also virtuous. In our Northern Desert, many tribes have come to propose. Sadly, my sister has high standards and looks down on those men. I think... my sister might have taken a liking to you." Xu Huawen said eagerly.

"Don't talk nonsense, I've only met your sister a few times and haven't known her for long. Your sister doesn't understand me at all..."

Fang Yu put down his wine glass, adding very seriously, "Ah, you're right, though. If your sister really got to know me, there's a chance she might actually fall for me, the kind of love she couldn't extricate herself from..."

Chen Daotian: "..."

Xu Huawen: "..."

Cough cough.

Both men chuckled awkwardly, picked up their wine glasses, and downed them in one gulp.

"Brother Yu, you should get to know her then. I, as your future little bro-in-law, wouldn't dupe you... And, my sister grew up in the tribe without any exposure to modern education. Instead, she holds traditional values, the 'three obedience and four virtues'... follow the husband like a chicken or a dog..." Xu Huawen said.

"Such women still exist?" Chen Daotian asked in surprise.

"Nonsense, my sister is exactly like that!"

"Then, would she accept taking other concubines?" Chen Daotian inquired.

Though Xu Huawen liked the glamorous outside world and was aware of modern society's ways, he knew that since ancient times, emotions are selfish, and people tend to prefer monogamy.

So, hearing Chen Daotian's question, he was taken aback for a moment.

"That... probably not," Xu Huawen wasn't his sister, "I'll ask her later."

"..."

Both of them were stunned by the latter half of the conversation.

"Brother Yu, I remember you once said that you have a great dream, which is to sleep with all the beauties in the world. I wonder when you'll fulfill such a shameless dream?" Chen Daotian asked.

Fang Yu shook his head and said:

"That was when I was immature, just talking nonsense. Since I've returned to Jiangzhou, I've realized that I've matured, become steadier... I can't make those childish dreams like I used to."

"Matured and steady, childish dreams?" Chen Daotian rolled his eyes.

"Of course they're childish. What man has so much energy... being able to do it three times in one night is already quite impressive."

"..."

"That makes sense." Xu Huawen actually nodded in agreement.

Perhaps it was the alcohol speaking.

Their conversation was disjointed, jumping from one topic to another.

"Anyway... Brother Yu, from now on, you'll be my mentor in life. I'll follow you forever! Even if... even if I'm just a pawn in front of a chariot, it's okay... After all, I... am quite good at... setting up horses..." Xu Huawen said as he then slumped onto the table.

Chen Daotian, also a bit woozy after another couple of drinks, lay down as well.

Fang Yu smiled slightly and stretched languidly.

A gentle breeze blew through.

"Elder, Elder..." A disciple from the Luli Sect approached him.

"What's the matter?"

"Your room, there seems to be some noise in your room... We didn't dare to enter on our own..."

Fang Yu frowned slightly, thinking of Xu Sisi still in his room, and immediately said, "I'll go take a look!"
