"That's none of your business."

Fang Xi said blandly, "Jian Xin, if you dare to get close to Xu Huan again, I'll genuinely suspect you're secretly colluding with him!"

His voice was logical:

"Besides, he's no longer the person you knew back then, he died once, and no longer remembers you."

"Just historical figures; no matter how real they seem, they're merely logical voids left by ancient times, without souls, not real people."

"Getting emotionally involved, treating them as friends, that's the most foolish thing."

Jian Xin paid him no mind.

Instead, he landed directly, striding into The Shop.

Fang Xi and his people focused on Spirit Wine, but Jian Xin cared about their laughter and conversations.

Feeling the shop was interesting, filled with warmth.

Without the inherent coldness and indifference of Cultivators, the staff here had carefree and lively eyes.

His whole life pursued the pure Sword Dao, the world thought him cold and unapproachable.

In reality, he indeed disliked speaking but enjoyed standing amidst the bustle, listening to the joyful laughter of his comrades, their warm teasing and singing.

Alas, those days can never return.

He, Jian Xin, gained fame in the Red House, reaching the Prince's Mansion in Xinyi State City during childhood for cultivation.

The Prince's Mansion actually didn't care about him, what truly accompanied him through growth was this Historical Corridor.

He lived here for thousands of years, knowing Xu Huan and many contemporaneous talents then.

But how many of those young talents from various forces back then are left now?

He sighed, Xu Huan was dead, Jiao Wuyu became someone he hunted.

Time flies, leaving only me walking the path alone.

His expression blurred for a moment, looking at Xu Huan and the crowd's joyful laughter in The Shop, seemingly recalling their past selves.

Sadly, it's unreachable now.

"Boss, I'm here for some wine." Jian Xin snapped back, stepped forward smiling.

"Senior Jian Xin!"

Su Yuniang's eyes widened.

All sorts of big shots come to our shop.

Jian Xin nodded, he was looking for Xu Huan.

His gaze swept around, suddenly landing on the Medical Fairy, feeling she was somewhat familiar.

If not for the aura, soul, and all senses being blocked here.

You wouldn't be able to tell if someone was human or ghost.

He might have immediately noticed this soul aura, it was indeed Sword Fairy.

Surely shocked: Sword Fairy is actually a trinity soul! Triplet sisters, with one still alive, hiding here practicing medicine.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xu Huan paused, evidently re-cognizing Jian Xin.

"Looking to have a drink with you." Jian Xin smiled, "I have a premonition that things won't be peaceful soon."

"Let's have this wine, it's good."

Xu Huan laughed heartily, raising the wine jar in hand, "Don't stay silent all the time, it's not good."

Jian Xin didn't like the wine the dead drank, but still nodded, "Let's go, to the tavern for drinks."

He took Xu Huan along, suddenly thought of something, turned to Su Yuniang and said:

"The Patrol Envoy Fang Family has just set eyes on your wine, be careful, this family is not kind."

"Previously, I saw him having someone privately mint coins in the deep mountains, engaging in numerous demonic actions, even more devilish than Demon Cultivators."

Su Yuniang: ???

Before, when Jian Xin arrived at their manor, he felt this person was a straight-up male.

Now it's confirmed.

Not a shred of social tact, bluntly naming names, probably right in front of them.

Fang Xi: "....."

They've long known Jian Xin's character.

But now, this thick-browed and big-eyed fellow who spoke plainly before, is actually adding fuel to the fire?

What does it mean to be more devilish than Demon Cultivators?

We've never done any of this!

Slander.

He's actually slandering people.

[Audience perspective] was also buzzing:

"Hahaha, that so-called Fang Family outside, their faces must be green."

"You shouldn't badmouth people in front of them, do it behind their backs."

"He cultivates this pure straight male Sword Dao, get it? If you understand social tact, your heart isn't pure enough, ignore it while swinging the sword."

...

No one is worried about that so-called Fang Family.

Probably the next boss.

Dare to meddle with us, steal our business?

Deserving of a beating!

Players' thinking is very simple, no matter what you are, I'll get rid of you!

Jian Xin took Xu Huan away quickly, soon disappearing.

If it wasn't for the Changfeng Tavern's business, and Xu Huan's good temper, he wouldn't have come here to apologize on behalf of Outer Sect disciples.

After seeing off these two big shots, a group of people on the forum were discussing.

After all, these newly emerged two powerful NPC guests were quite interesting.

Even inexplicably gaining some fangirls, saying they've fallen for "straight male Jian Xin," with more people saying they're in love with "warm male Xu Huan."

Xu Huan's gentle and refined persona, and past plot experience, was quite popular, aiming for harmonious coexistence among the Human Race.

Historical savior persona, unfortunately failed, but it added a touch of tragic hero color.

Many blacksmiths didn't care about them.

Fangirls are a magical species, can suddenly become fans of a star because of a movie clip, a line.

Many rational people instead posting:

"Discussion: New boss Fang Family"

"Discussion: How to assassinate a major family in Xinyi State City"

"New wine's explosive sales, attracting envy."

"How our manor rapidly rises amidst wolf packs."

...

Fangirls discussed appearance and persona, regular players discussed Xu Huan, Jian Xin's hidden storylines.

Ning Zheng shook his head.

"Jian Xin, Xu Huan, their stories have nothing to do with me? These blacksmiths are meddling in everything."

He's not so nosy.

Everyone has their own life, it's good Ning Zheng looks out for himself.

He's not those naive little blacksmiths.

This time, the enemy truly attacked, marked!

Fang Family!

Protected jewel becomes a crime.

This Spirit Wine earns gold fast, guarding it is fortune, failing to guard means disaster.

"My luck isn't great, not lucky enough, that's why I'm marked by Fang Family, their family's Qi Fortune Value far exceeds mine."

"And my Qi Fortune Value isn't low, so Jian Xin happened to pass by, to warn me, this is the effect of my Qi Fortune Value, this is a crisis alert."

"If it was still only 850 Qi Fortune Value, probably wouldn't have warned, only reacting when disaster befalls."

Ning Zheng calculated his Qi Fortune Value was very lifesaving.

Scaly Gate Patrol Envoy Fang Family?

Must be pursuing Xu Huan.

And, according to Jian Xin's words, very likely the superior who issued the Coinage Certificate.

After all, roughly calculating can guess the process.

The Blood Separation Flower family escaping Scaly Gate, to protect their mined mountain, reconnecting with the Fang Family they knew in Xinyi State City, engaging in tribute.

Logically, there are no issues.

How will I avoid this crisis, tribute, or can I take them down myself?

This is a major family in Xinyi State City!

Ten days should be safe.

Because Jiao Wuyu and others are going to attack.

After this incident, once the city's families catch their breath, Fang Family probably wants to grab my Spirit Wine business.

The mine wants money, now the Spirit Wine is eyed too...

Ning Zheng had a thought.

Perhaps, get rid of this Adoptive Father?

Previously, Ning Zheng said he planned to wait for the others to come, have little blacksmiths acknowledge them as father, to draw closer.

Now simply eliminate him, end it once and for all!

Ning Zheng pondered, took out the ring given by Li Youzhu:

"Li Youzhu told me to leave the ring at that location, Jiao Wuyu should pick it up, could I ask Jiao Wuyu for help?"

Indeed.

Anyway, they're about to attack the inner ring, taking out a family in the city along the way seems no problem.

They're craving my wine, I eliminate their whole family, seems reasonable, right?

But this is the most ideal situation.

Whether Jiao Wuyu will help is still uncertain.

The second possibility, Gao.

This unknown existence, surely had great Combat Power at peak, possibly can take down Fang Family.

However, this presence is even more uncertain.

Ning Zheng thought, encountering difficulties, consulting the forum.

These quirky little blacksmiths always surprised Ning Zheng.

Sure enough.
