Chapter 228: Ao Ye’s Secret

Jiang Lan originally planned to make a trip to the old wine inn to verify his gains today.

He had gained some insights regarding the spiritual inn.

However, he felt that it was still a little lacking when he tried it himself. Fortunately, there was a ready-made one that he could verify his findings with.

However, not long after he left the mountain, he saw the Eighth Prince.

By the looks of it, he should be heading to the Ninth Summit.

The other party’s strange actions made him suspicious.

Therefore, when he appeared behind the Eighth Prince. The other party’s vigilance was too low.

He had only realized Jiang Lan’s presence after Jiang Lan was near him.

Jiang Lan thought about it. Perhaps he could have even killed this dragon with a single punch.

A silent kill.

When the Eighth Prince discovered him, he realized that the other party was quite frightened.

Hence, he asked the other party a question.

This was indeed abnormal.

Ao Man’s heart raced when he saw Jiang Lan suddenly appear.

He had a strange feeling that his brother-in-law wanted to silence him.

There were not many people here and there were many trees.

It was a good place to kill and rob.

For a moment, he felt a little regretful. Why was he walking for no reason?

Why didn’t he fly on his sword?

“Bro… Brother-in-law, I-I have a very good relationship with my sister.” Ao Man subconsciously mentioned his sister.

Jiang Lan looked at the other party and felt that there was little truth in his words.

Xiao Yu should have met the Eighth Prince only two or three times.

There was no way to explain how he was on good terms with Xiao Yu.

However, it was true that he was Xiao Yu’s biological brother. It was also a fact that their relationship was not bad.

“You want to go to the Ninth Summit?” Jiang Lan asked.

There was a high chance that the people who were passing through this forest would go to the Ninth Summit.

Unless the person was brought in by Second Summit’s Senior Brother.

Those people were basically spies. After entering, they might never be able to leave this forest again.

The Second Summit’s Senior Brother Bei Fang would lead his team to clear such people up.

They wore the same uniform and held long swords in their hands. Their attacks were clean and efficient.

Back then, Senior Brother Bei Fang had only reached the perfected Void Refinement Realm. Currently, he had already become a Human Immortal.

These people grew so quickly.

“I wanted to go up and find Brother-in-law,” said Ao Man softly.

It felt as if he was afraid of provoking Jiang Lan.

For some reason, Ao Man felt a little scared when facing Jiang Lan.

It didn’t make sense.

“Do you need something from me?” Jiang Lan asked.

If he had something, he would have to go to the old wine inn once it was settled.

If he went there late and the boss was back, it would be difficult for him to continue staying there.

With the boss’ absence, he could verify his insights in peace.

“Nothing much. Oh right, Brother-in-law is going out?” Ao Man looked at Jiang Lan and asked.

“I’m going to make a trip to the old wine tavern,” Jiang Lan said directly.

“Ah? I was just about to go too. Let’s go together.” Ao Man said while laughing.

Jiang Lan glanced at Ao Man and nodded slightly.

He was sure that Ao Man didn’t know anything, but he was afraid of something.

Innate immortals were indeed somewhat special.

Then, he headed outside, with Ao Man following by his side.

“I just came over from my sister’s place. When I mention Brother-in-law, my sister’s expression will soften a lot.” On the way, Ao Man tried to get closer to him.

It was great to have the Goddess as his sister.

For a moment, he felt that his brother-in-law wasn’t that scary anymore.

After a while.

Jiang Lan stood in front of the old inn.

Along the way, Ao Man spoke a lot.

Jiang Lan didn’t disturb him. He had enough patience.

Moreover, he was mostly talking about Xiao Yu and the Dragon Race’s preferences.

Indeed, Xiao Yu liked shiny things.

There was a cool breeze.

“Humans experience four seasons, but the dragons don’t. There aren’t many changes below the Four Seas,” said Ao Man as he sensed the wind.

Jiang Lan had never been to the deep sea.

He did not feel anything good about it. Perhaps this was his nature.

Without much thought, he walked into the inn.

This time, the inn was not as deserted as before. There was a guest inside.

Jiang Lan recognized Ao Ye with a single glance.

Ao Ye did not cause trouble this time?

This was rather surprising.

Back when he was helping out here, Ao Ye had always caused trouble.

It was a little abnormal for him to not make a fuss now.

Jiang Lan didn’t think too much about it and went to the counter.

“Big brother, are you here to buy some good wine?” The young man immediately asked.

There were still two people at the counter.

The youth from the inn and the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race.

“Is the boss coming back in the afternoon?” Jiang Lan asked.

“En, Big Brother can go to the side and wait for grandpa to return.” The youth nodded and said.

He looked eager to try out something.

Jiang Lan knew what the youth wanted to do, but he didn’t care.

Then, he went to a corner and waited patiently.

At the same time, he tried to verify his own newfound insights.

Ao Man also carefully sat at Jiang Lan’s table. He looked at Ao Ye with some shock. Ao Ye was actually still here.

Had his alcohol tolerance improved?

Yesterday, he did not see Ao Ye return and thought that he was being chased again.

Who knew he was still drinking here.

He seemed to have drunk a lot.

It was better to pretend that they didn’t know each other. Otherwise, who knew what would happen later.

Jiang Lan originally planned to sit alone and rest.

Unexpectedly, Ao Man actually came over.

However, after thinking about it, it was fine as long as the other party didn’t affect what he was doing.

However, when he intended to close his eyes and rest, he suddenly sensed a gaze, and he turned around to look at the drunk Ao Ye.

He looked puzzled, as if wondering if they knew each other.

Soon, the other party looked at Ao Man.

He carried his wine and staggered to Jiang Lan’s table, sitting opposite Ao Man.

He didn’t even look at Jiang Lan.

Perfected Heaven Immortal.

This was the first time Jiang Lan saw Ao Ye’s cultivation realm.

Very strong.

However, wine that could make a Heaven Immortal drunk should be even more extraordinary.

Jiang Lan sat quietly at the side, not saying a word. However, he still remained vigilant against the other party.

If a perfected Heaven Immortal suddenly attacked, he might not be able to dodge.

Under the enhancement of Dao, his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel seemed to have a brand new speed. He wondered if he could dodge a Heaven Immortal’s attack.

Ao Man was a little embarrassed. Was Uncle Ao Ye trying to harm him?

He felt that he had to let Uncle Ao Ye leave.

However, before he could speak, Ao Ye poured him a cup of wine and said ambiguously.

“Here, have a drink to celebrate your great victory.”

“Uncle, I was the one who had lost.”

Upon hearing this, Ao Ye narrowed his eyes at Ao Man as though he had sobered up.

“Lost? Did your sister ask you to purposely lose to him?”

Ao Man: “…”

Why did everyone have such thoughts?

He had fought with all his might.

He stole a glance at Jiang Lan and realized that his brother-in-law was expressionless and had even closed his eyes.

Jiang Lan’s eyes were indeed closed at this time. Although he was sensing the spiritual inn, he was mostly on guard.

To prevent any accidents from happening around him.

“Since that’s so, then leave it as that. It’s not like they will say anything because of your loss.” Ao Ye poured himself a glass of wine and burped.

“Even though Ao Li and the others seem to be focusing on your achievements. However, this is all in passing. You don’t have to take it to heart. They had come here to figure out something else. Burp!”

Hearing this, Ao Man was shocked.

“Uncle Ao Ye, you’re drunk. Let me help you back.”

He could not allow his uncle to say such things here.

No one knew what would come next. This was dangerous.

As he spoke, he arrived by Ao Ye’s side and intended to help Ao Ye leave.

A drunkard would spout nonsense, and the slightest mistake could bring disaster.

Even if his cultivation was strong, he could not be so casual.

This uncle of his had such a bad tolerance towards alcohol. He was just causing trouble wherever he went.

Pa!

Ao Ye slapped Ao Man’s hand away and said.

“Don’t worry, it’s not a big secret. Sit down and listen to me. I’m not drunk.”
