The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1322 - 1320: Qingxin Wine Shop!

Chapter 1322: Chapter 1320: Qingxin Wine Shop!

Stepping out of the inn, Lin Bai took out the waiter’s map, found the right direction, and made his way to the Qingxin Wine Shop.

The Qingxin Wine Shop couldn’t really be considered a wine shop; it should be classified as a private brewery because the master of Qingxin Wine Shop was a lady who received only one guest per day.

The guests of Qingxin Wine Shop were either influential figures from the imperial clan with heaven-reaching power, wealthy businessmen from across the region, renowned warriors under heaven, or reclusive seniors who shunned the public eye!

In any case, none of the individuals who could enter the Qingxin Wine Shop was a simple character.

Over time, the warriors of Lingnan grew even more aspirational toward the Qingxin Wine Shop. If one could gain entry to the Qingxin Wine Shop, didn’t it mean that they were no ordinary person in Lingnan?

Two hours later, Lin Bai arrived at the Qingxin Wine Shop with a smile, strolling leisurely.

Upon reaching the place, Lin Bai saw that the wine shop was built with exceptional and elegant distinction, with pleasant music sounding from within.

"Not bad, a nice place to enjoy a drink."

Lin Bai chuckled softly and stepped into the Qingxin Wine Shop.

Immediately, a maid approached with a smile and asked, "Are you here to enjoy some wine, sir?"

Lin Bai grinned and replied, "What else? Could I possibly be here to look for ladies?"

The maid laughed like a spring breeze, casually saying, "Hehe, you surely jest, sir. Since you’re here to drink, please follow me to the side hall to wait. In a bit, we will announce the name of today’s honored guest."

"This way, please."

The maid guided Lin Bai toward the side hall.

Lin Bai chuckled, "Aren’t you going to ask for my name?"

The maid laughed and said, "You’re overthinking it, sir. Although Qingxin Wine Shop may not be considered a powerful force, we know some things about any warrior who sets foot here."

"So there’s no need for you to give your name, sir. Qingxin Wine Shop will naturally be aware."

The maid continued with a light laugh.

"It seems this is no ordinary wine shop," Lin Bai commented with a faint smile.

The maid gave a mysterious smile and led Lin Bai into the side hall.

Once inside the side hall, Lin Bai discovered hundreds of warriors had already been waiting there!

The maid had Lin Bai take a seat, patiently asking him to wait for a little while.

Lin Bai sat down, his ears picking up the quiet discussions amongst the surrounding warriors.

"I wonder who the lucky one is to enter Qingxin Wine Shop today."

"Yesterday, it seemed to be a prince from within the Yuntian Dynasty, the Third Prince Yun Tianyi!"

"The day before yesterday, it was a rising talent from within the Yuntian Dynasty, said to be capable of fighting those monstrous giants in Purple Gold City. I think it was Liang Chunrong!"

"What! The day before yesterday, the person who entered Qingxin Wine Shop was the son of Yuntian Dynasty’s Prime Minister, Liang Chunrong?"

"..."

"Not just that, because of the upcoming auction of Demonic Beast Blood from the Yangshen Realm in Chaoyang City which has attracted many top masters, and since the auction has not yet started, these masters can only come here to enjoy some wine."

"See that person over there? He’s the son of the lord of Wuji Mountain within the Yuntian Dynasty, Xiao Jin!"

"And that man over there, dressed in all black and exuding an aura of death, he seems to be... the gold-medal assassin from the Sky-Killing Pavilion, known as Juehun!"

"Juehun, the Sword Cultivator?"

"..."

Lin Bai sat calmly in his chair, realizing that the most discussed individuals in the side hall were just a few people.

One was Yesterday’s guest, the Third Prince of the Yuntian Dynasty, Yun Tianyi.

Another was the guest before yesterday, a genius from the Yuntian Dynasty, Liang Chunrong.

Also present today was the son of the lord of Wuji Mountain, Xiao Jin.

And an assassin named "Juehun."

Wuji Mountain, while not the largest or smallest Sect power within the Yuntian Dynasty, had established its own Sect over five hundred years ago, but had not reached the colossal status of the Saint Seal Sect or the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

As for the Sky-Killing Pavilion, it was an assassin Sect within the Yuntian Dynasty. As long as the price was right, the Sky-Killing Pavilion dared to kill anyone within, including attempting to assassinate an emperor of the Yuntian Dynasty. And the Sky-Killing Pavilion had succeeded once, which made them famous within the Dynasty after that brazen deed!

As the gold-medal assassin of the Sky-Killing Pavilion, Juehun’s strength was terrifyingly formidable. He had taken on over five hundred seventy tasks and had never failed; each warrior that died under his sword perished with a single strike!

Therefore, many warriors who did not know his name gave him the moniker "Juehun."

Waited half an hour.

Shortly after, the maid who had led Lin Bai inside came back to the parlor, smiling as she said, "Friends, our guest of honor for today’s wine has been decided by my master."

The moment the maid spoke, she immediately caught the attention of all the warriors in the parlor!

"Already decided?"

"Who is it?"

"Is it Xiao Jin from Wuji Mountain, or Juehun, the Sword Cultivator from Sky-Killing Pavilion?"

"Yes, the most likely candidates to become the wine guest today are these two."

Many warriors looked expectantly at the maid.

Xiao Jin and Juehun also lifted their eyes to look at the maid.

The maid chuckled lightly, walked in front of Lin Bai, and said with a smile, "This guest, my master invites you to the Elegant Pavilion for a chat!"

Lin Bai smiled faintly, stood up, and prepared to follow the maid to the Elegant Pavilion!

"Is it him?"

"Who is this person?"

"Yeah, who is this guy? Could he be more famous than the Son of Prince from Wuji Mountain and the gold-credentialed assassin from Sky-Killing Pavilion?"

Many people were shocked to see the maid inviting Lin Bai to the Elegant Pavilion.

The assassin from Sky-Killing Pavilion, Juehun, was also taken aback, thinking to himself: If today’s guest isn’t me, it should have been Xiao Jin, so why is it this person? What is his origin?

Watching the maid leading Lin Bai to the Elegant Pavilion.

The Son of Prince from Wuji Mountain suddenly stood up, his face cold as he shouted, "Girl Xiang’er!"

The maid stopped, looked at Xiao Jin, the Son of Prince from Wuji Mountain, with a faint smile on her face.

The Son of Prince from Wuji Mountain, Xiao Jin, said coldly, "Girl Xiang’er, I heard that the rules of Qingxin Wine Shop are to only invite those of noble birth and martial artists with strength!"

"Is that so?"

The maid said with a smile, "There is such a reasoning."

Xiao Jin then said, "That’s great. I come from Wuji Mountain of the Yuntian Dynasty, which is one of the few powerful sect powers within the Yuntian Dynasty. Even if Qingxin Wine Shop does not invite me, you should have invited Juehun from the Sky-Killing Pavilion, right?"

"We two are both renowned powerhouses within the Yuntian Dynasty and come from noble families with strong abilities, so why did Qingxin Wine Shop change its rules today and invite such an unknown ant of a warrior?"

Xiao Jin said with some dissatisfaction on his face.

He and Juehun thought the same; they had assumed one of them would be today’s wine guest, but to their surprise, the maid had invited an unknown person instead, which irked Xiao Jin and Juehun.

"I also think the same," Juehun stood up and said, his face icy.

Maid Xiang’er spoke indifferently, "This is the decision of my master, not mine. The guest has been chosen, please return."

Xiao Jin said coldly, "I am not convinced. I request that the owner of Qingxin Wine Shop, Miss Ni Xiangen, come out and explain."

"Yes, please have Miss Ni Xiangen come out and explain what exactly is going on."

"That’s right, the rules of Qingxin Wine Shop cannot be broken, or else what’s the point?"

"Whether in terms of fame, reputation, status, or talent, the choice should have been between Xiao Jin and Juehun!"

"Why would Qingxin Wine Shop invite such an unknown person?"

Many warriors shouted in puzzlement.

Lin Bai wore a helpless expression that bordered on the ridiculous.

Meanwhile, Maid Xiang’er maintained a faint smile, neither confirming nor denying.

Just then, a startlingly beautiful and ethereal female voice came through, "The guest invited today is the holder of the Demonic Sword, Dongfang Bai!"

"Do you still have any objections?"

As her voice spread, all the martial artists in the parlor were dumbstruck.

Even Xiao Jin and Juehun looked at Lin Bai in surprise, exclaiming, "He is Dongfang Bai!"

"Now, may I go for a drink?" asked Lin Bai, looking at Xiao Jin and Juehun.
