Chapter 267: Chapter 59: Berry Master Thief [Two-in-One]_1

"Hehe, Ah Feng, long time no see."

Elder Huang ran away fast, disappearing like a wisp of smoke. Elder Sun, who was slower, remained to face Empress Feng. This venerable figure of the Immortal Cultivation World appeared a little nervous.

"Old Sun, it really has been many years since we last met." When Empress Feng arrived, seeing only Elder Sun left at the scene, she casually asked, "Where did Old Huang go?"

"He said his house was on fire." Elder Sun scratched his head, shifting his feet, "If there’s nothing else, I’m going to help put out the fire."

"Sit down."

"Eh."

At Empress Feng’s command, Elder Sun obediently took his seat, not daring to run away anymore.

Elder Chuan Jian behind them found this amusing and didn’t intervene. Empress Feng’s relationship with the North-South Wanderer was quite subtle, not much related to the Shu Mountain Sect, so he didn’t think it appropriate to interfere.

"The last time you two visited Shu Mountain was thirty years ago. Have you been avoiding me all these years out of fear?" Empress Feng asked Elder Sun, not mincing her words.

"Not at all..." Elder Sun replied with a pleasant smile, "We’ve always been thinking about you and wanted to visit you sooner. However, we’ve had our hands full which delayed us."

"Stop kidding me, what can two idle old guys like you be busy with?" Empress Feng rolled her eyes.

"Times are tough, we can’t afford to be idle." Elder Sun sighed.

"Anyway, now that I’ve caught you, you’ve got to leave me some benefits, right?" Empress Feng thought for a moment, "Write an article praising me, one that provokes deep thought and tears, and let Old Huang publish it in the newspaper."

"No problem at all!" Elder Sun agreed immediately, but then added cynically, "But I don’t know if Old Huang would go along. He’s had a hidden bias against you, you’ve noticed, haven’t you? His disciple, the head of the Wind Catcher Hall, is always smearing you, huh-huh..."

Since Elder Huang was not around, Elder Sun had fun shifting Empress Feng’s attention to him.

Fanning the flame.

"Exactly!" Empress Feng pounded her fist into her palm, visibly angry, "Their smearing of my image in recent years is nothing short of criminal! I’ve had enough of Zhou Yijian, and one of these days, I’m going to storm Tianshu Pavilion."

"You should have done that long ago, isn’t it? They think they can treat you like a fool, huh?" Elder Sun agreed with her, indignantly.

"I think so too!" Empress Feng nodded in agreement, "The more I think about it, the angrier I get."

"I’m starting to get angry on behalf of you. Just wait, I’ll catch Old Huang and bring him back for you to beat up in person!"

With that, Elder Sun stood up and disappeared in a whiff of smoke.

"Huh?" Looking at the direction where the two old men had disappeared, Empress Feng blinked, feeling that something was off.

But she didn’t have time to care much about it. She was here to watch Chu Liang’s match and heard that the North-South Wanderer had come here, so she also wanted to see him. Now, seeing Chu Liang win easily, she was in a good mood and decided to not let it bother her.

The next day was her favorite event, the God of Wine competition.

This was the first time the Shu Mountain Peak Conference had hosted this event. Not many people signed up, and there were no qualifiers or finals.

Just one round of competition.

The scene was set up with long tables, on which were a line of strong spirits. The competition rules were simple. The first round was ten jars of Drunken Tiger Wine, the second round was ten jars of Fiery Brew, the third round was ten jars of Drunken Immortal Brew, and the fourth round...

So on and so forth, each round eliminating most competitors, and the last one standing would be the winner.

Free drinks, a chance to shine, and money to be made, how could Empress Feng possibly miss out?

But when she got here, she met someone unexpected.

"Aunt Tian?" Empress Feng’s eyes widened, "You’re also participating?"

"Why not?" The other party was indeed the Law Enforcement Elder dressed in a black robe, standing among the competitors, no one dared to look directly at him.

"Even you, the esteemed Zhenshan Elder, are participating, this..." Empress Feng was at a loss for words.

"Who do you think suggested this event?" The Law Enforcement Elder replied, "Who said Zhenshan Elders can’t participate in recreational matches?"

"But who dares to beat you?" Empress Feng murmured.

"If you can beat me, don’t hold back." The Law Enforcement Elder sneered, "You seem to have forgotten who taught you how to drink."

"Heh." Empress Feng returned a wicked smile, "Aunt Tian, times have changed."

...

"Shu Mountain has changed a lot."

A haggard man in a bamboo hat sighed, gazing in the direction of the Shu Mountain, which was still thirty miles away, seeming to have a clear view of every grass and tree on the mountain.

He was holding hands with a little girl, who was struggling hard to break free of his grasp.

The man was Immortal Qi Jing, and the little girl was the exact one that had come out of the Immortal’s Lake.

"Don’t rush, we can’t go directly to Shu Mountain. There are many eyes watching, and I’m not even sure I can protect you completely if we attract attention." Qi Jing soothed, "Didn’t we agree? This time I’ll bring you to get some fruits, then you’ll follow me back to the Sacred Mountain obediently. But you have to behave the whole time."

"Fruits..." the little girl pointed to the sky.

"You got the directions wrong... huh?" Qi Jing was about to correct her that Shu Mountain was certainly not in the sky when he suddenly noticed a sword aura streaking across the sky.

In the broad daylight, a sword aura flew high in the sky, a barely visible thin blue line, almost invisible to the naked eye.
