Chapter 518: Slip of the Tongue

Jian Wang and Furion became regular visitors of the wine store. They would arrive in the morning and leave at noon. The two of them also tried to befriend the young waitresses of the dragon building and asked them about the owner.

Soon, the wine store became more renowned in the desert region. More and more people became their patrons and they even attracted some bigwigs. However, none dared to create a ruckus inside the wine store since there were rumors about it being protected by dozens of high-rank Protective Array Formations.

A few months later, Jian Wang and Furion walked towards the newly opened golden gates.

"We've been here for a few months, but we still haven't seen the owner of the wine store. Even that old man and the little girl never once stepped out of the second floor since then. Brother Jian, I think those people are purposely avoiding us." Furion muttered while scratching his head thoughtfully.

Jian Wang shook his head upon hearing his words. "No. I think they are cultivating in seclusion. I asked one of the waitresses and she told me that the little girl back then had escaped from her training. I don't know what they are up to, but it is not our business to pry. If we wait, we would eventually meet the owner of the dragon building. Once he comes out of seclusion, I'll try to ask him if he's willing to sell his wines in bulk."

Furion nodded his head understandingly. They've been coming here daily just to drink wine. They even rented a small mansion in Hard Rock City just to save time from traveling.

When the two stepped inside, they were warmly greeted by a pair of young and beautiful waitresses.

"Good morning, Mister Jian and Mister Furion!"

Since they were already regular visitors, the waitresses already knew these two. Of course, they still had no idea that their loyal customer Mister Jian is actually Jian Wang!

Jian Wang and Furion smiled at the two young ladies. They enjoyed the unique atmosphere of the wine store. They also have a good impression of their polite young waitresses.

After the two were escorted to an empty table, a young waitress asked them with a smile. "Do you want the usual?"

Jian Wang and Furion nodded their heads.

"Alright. Two bottles of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit, three bottles of..." The waitress expertly stated their usual order.

After the waitress left, Furion inched closer to Jian Wang and muttered. "Brother Jian, those people are here again. They have been monitoring us for several months. If not for the fact that they have no ill intentions, I would have already burned them to ashes! Who do you think are those people?"

The first time they encountered these people was a few months ago. At that time, they just ignored them and didn't think too much about their presence. However, the same group would come to the dragon building daily. Although they were discreet in their actions, Furion and Jian Wang still noticed their weird actions.

"They have the unique battle aura of the Celestial Paragon Tower's secret cultivation technique, the Almighty Sacred Flame Canon. They are using a Heavenly God-rank cloaking technique to mask their battle aura, but they can't escape my detection." Jian Wang muttered calmly under his breath.

Furion was surprised when he heard those words. He tried to probe the group for a few months using his spiritual perception, but he didn't even sense their battle aura! That means their cloaking technique was among the very best in the Heavenly God-rank! "That means that old man Lao Gou has already discovered your presence here. Maybe he is using them to monitor our movements. Since when is that old fart so nervous?! He even dared to send his underlings to observe us!"

Although he wasn't angry, Furion still felt vexed at the thought of being observed. Not everyone would be calm if their every action is being scrutinized.

"Just let them be. We've been living in seclusion for millions of years, so I can understand why that old man is curious about our sudden appearance in this remote area. I believe that his underlings had already told him about the effects of the wines sold in this store. We might meet that old man Lao Gou soon..." Jian Wang shrugged his shoulders with an uncaring look. He didn't mind those few bugs observing them as long as they don't disturb his peaceful life.

"Mister Jian, Mister Furion, here are wines. Enjoy!" A clear and melodious voice echoed beside them. A young waitress with long black hair and a curvaceous figure smiled at them as she placed their wines on the table.

"Thank you, Miss Phoebe! Oh, by the way, is the owner going out of seclusion today?" Furion casually asked. He wasn't really expecting too much, but he still asked her.

The young waitress named Phoebe shook her head. "Wine Master Jiu Shen has never come out of seclusion. Everyone else inside the second floor hasn't come out yet. However, I heard that an important figure from our Heavenly Sword-"

Phoebe hurriedly covered her mouth after realizing that she had almost slipped a piece of important information. Her face paled and she repeatedly apologized to the two men before she left.

"Interesting." Furion revealed a look of interest as he watched the escaping young lady. From her slip of tongue, the young lady mentioned something about 'our Heavenly Sword'. "What do you think, Brother Jian? It appears that this dragon building has a mysterious background. You also told me that the Protective Array Formations inscribed here are at the level of Celestial-rank. Among the three Celestial God Realm experts, only Asmodeus is an expert in Array Formation Making. From how it looks, there might be a connection between them."

"You're right, but all these are just speculations. We would only know about these things once the owner comes out of seclusion. For now, let's just enjoy this rare moment of peace." Jian Wang replied as he drank his wine.
