When Li Yuan was sleeping with the proprietress, Zhu Tongji, the owner of Yichan Pavilion, frowned.

The lamplight cast the shadow of a silver-mouthed wine pot on the table, accompanied by three jade wine cups, two men and one woman.

The woman raised her orchid-like fingers, gently swaying the wine cup, watching the rich wine inside swaying along the walls of the cup.

She took a light sniff and said, "Fragrant!"

Zhu Tongji said, "Taste it."

The woman brought the wine to her lips, took another breath, then slowly drank it, closed her eyes to savor, then opened her eyes and said, "The taste isn't actually that good, but the wine is strong and smooth. This alone is enough to make it a big seller."

After savoring for a while, the woman continued, "They must have mastered some kind of brewing technique, this Snow Brew is just an initial product, it will produce even better wine in the future."

Zhu Tongji sighed deeply and said coldly, "Unfortunately, it's not the wine of Yichan Pavilion."

This woman was the brewer of his Yichan Pavilion, and the other two men were a steward and a nursing director.

Today, after Hengwu Restaurant started selling the wine, Zhu Tongji discreetly bought a pot; after tasting it, he was worried, his face gloomy, and after nightfall, he gathered his three "high-level" members of Yichan Pavilion for a discussion.

The steward hesitated and said, "Boss, should we tell the elder?

After all, Hengwu Restaurant is Young Master Li's business.

Now Silver Creek is watched over by him, and he's not easy to deal with."

The nursing director beside chuckled, showing his teeth, his eyes gleaming fiercely, and said, "Why don't we take advantage of the night's darkness, set a fire and burn down his workshop, quietly and without anyone knowing, and that would be the end of it?"

Zhu Tongji poured another cup of wine, took a deep breath and said, "It's really good wine, I wonder how they brew it?"

"Boss, why not kidnap someone and ask?" The nursing director said indifferently, "Young Master Li, to put it nicely, is a master, but isn't he just a Ninth Grade? I'm also a Ninth Grade!

Besides, the elder is much more powerful than him. If he dares to take money right under our noses and doesn't get taught a lesson, he'd really think he can share the profits."

Zhu Tongji didn't agree but said, "Tomorrow, go find out. That Young Master Li has been in Silver Creek for more than half a year. Why not earlier or later, but now to set up a workshop.

Find out more, and if... there's no change, I will ask big brother. Just be ready to kidnap and interrogate."

...

...

The next day.

Early morning.

The remaining twenty jin of "Snow Brewed Wine" were quickly snatched up.

Many connoisseurs who came for the wine couldn't taste it, feeling either dissatisfied or regretful, and some could only order other wines first to make do.

And several shadows, sneaky and mingling among the patrons, pulled the waiter to ask questions wildly, then suddenly began to shout, loudly demanding things like "You're a restaurant that sells wine, how can guests come and there's no wine? Let your boss come out!"

The voices grew louder, and the restaurant became somewhat noisy and chaotic.

Instantly, a nursing home from Hengwu Restaurant stepped forward. But these people seemed crazed, soon fighting with the nursing home, and Yichan Pavilion's nursing director was also mixed in.

At this moment, borrowing the strength of the alcohol, he shouted, "Not selling us the good wine, it must be hidden" and ran inside the restaurant while shouting.

But as he ran, he suddenly hit a wall.

The nursing director stumbled to the ground, sitting on the floor, looking up to see a tall man standing by the back door of the restaurant, with indifferent eyes, graying hair, a hand pressing on a fine blade, exuding an intimidating aura.

The nursing director felt a thrill of fear in his heart.

And the nursing home of Hengwu Restaurant quickly ran over, respectfully addressing the man as "Mr. Zhou."

The man nodded, then closed his eyes, leaning on the blade, and stood quietly at the door.

Instantly, the sounds in the restaurant began to diminish.

The nursing director of Yichan Pavilion didn't dare speak any more, quietly crawled back, and slunk away.

But as soon as he got outside the restaurant, he was immediately taken away by Yu Mao and Qian Da, who were patrolling.

...

Nightfall.

The nursing director limped back to Yichan Residence, bruised and beaten.

Zhu Tongji glanced at him without saying anything.

Being beaten up like this at Hengwu Restaurant in Silver Creek was quite normal, unsurprising.

So, Zhu Tongji wasn't even angry, as he had expected it.

Instead, it was the steward who was reporting.

"Boss, I found out some details.

There's an addition of Mr. Zhou at Hengwu Restaurant.

This Mr. Zhou is an Eighth Grade expert..."

The nursing director gritted his teeth and said, "Hiss, definitely hiss, and not just a typical Eighth Grade... Eighth Grade expert."

The steward continued, "I heard that Mr. Zhou is an expert from Young Master Li's sect, he didn't join the Blood Saber Sect, but specifically went to the restaurant."

Zhu Tongji asked, "How did you learn about this?"

The steward replied, "It's what the people inside Hengwu Restaurant said."

Zhu Tongji frowned and said, "It seems that Young Master Li wants others to know about this.

Master Li's sect, that surely includes Master Li as well... I asked big brother, he said Master Li came from the Central Plains, but wasn't clear about the sect... but the sect leader probably knows, otherwise, he wouldn't have been accepted as a tributor, and given important tasks.

Now, this sect of Master Li has more people, and they've come directly to Young Master Li's restaurant.

This sect might have other strong people..."

The nursing director initially thought about revenge, but hearing this, he deflated.

Then the steward suddenly said, "I also heard some news that Young Master Li has already broken into the Eighth Grade."

"What?!"
