Chapter Eighty-Five: Turbulence in the Wine House!

  There are more and more people on Zhongxi Commercial Street.

  Moreover, they all crowded into that Silver Fish Tower on Business Street.

  This wine house is famous for a silver-colored liquor called Silver Bottle, and also has a beautiful young female boss named Little Fish.

  Of course, this restaurant is usually doing good business, but it's absolutely not as lively as it is now.

  Countless people surrounded the wine building.

  Gu Chao sat in the second-floor window seat, a habit he had always had when sitting in a wine house. At this time, there were indeed many people coming to the wine house. Gu Chao slapped his long knife on the table: "Boss lady, bring two bottles of silver bottle wine, one serving of red fish stew and one serving of sea harvest." The Silver Fish Wine House was most famous for these two dishes, one being the red fish stew and the other being the sea harvest. This sea harvest put many delicious foods into the water, mixed with soup and boiled, the flavor was quite good.

  "Alright." The beautiful young woman boss, nicknamed Xiaoyu, gave a command to the kitchen to hurry up. Soon, two bottles of silver-bottled wine were served, along with a dish of Red Fish Burn and a dish of Sea Harvest. The Red Fish Burn was cooked to perfection, with the fish turning bright red, making it look extremely appetizing. Although the presentation of the Sea Harvest wasn't as good as the Red Fish Burn, its flavor was absolutely delicious. Normally, serving dishes wouldn't require the boss's personal attention, but Xiaoyu was genuinely curious about Gu Chao. As a member of the Tai Shan Sect, she was also a martial artist herself. She wondered how Gu Chao, who had only been in the sect for ten months and possessed a nameplate token, could be so bold as to sit there waiting for others to challenge him.

  Is this ignorance? Or is it too thick-skinned? Or is he just too arrogant?

  It's not just this boss who is paying attention to Gu Chao, there is another person who is also paying attention to him.

  On this wine building, there is also a young girl.

  The girl sat far away from Gu Chao, her face veiled with a thin gauze, making it impossible to see her features clearly. However, her eyes were exceptionally beautiful, like a pair of bright pearls. Her skin was pale and delicate, her figure slender, and her waist extremely narrow. Although she wore a veil, it was clear that she was a beautiful young girl. This girl was actually one of the twenty people who had obtained an invitation - Yi Shuiwu, whose mother, Yi Yun, was a renowned figure in the Tai Shan Sect, standing at the pinnacle as one of the Five Great Swordsmen, Yi Yun.

  Because of her mother, no one dared to snatch the Easy Water Mist's nameplate, a fiercely competitive battle for others, but somewhat boring for her. Her fingers gently stroked her Goose Feather Knife, small and beautiful, with a gleam on its blade that was slightly arrogant, just like its owner.

  Yi Shui Wu is only sixteen years old, but she's in the First Manor because her sister Yi Shui Jing is there. She likes to be with her sister, so she's also in the First Manor. Others can't do this naturally, but Yi Shui Wu's identity allows her to easily move between manors.

  There is only one thing that cannot be changed, and that is being an inner disciple.

  The inner door disciples must still pass through the two-yearly disciple grand comparison in an honest and down-to-earth manner, other methods will not work.

  Yi Shuiwu was feeling bored, but then he stumbled upon the matter of Gu Chao, and couldn't help but find it interesting. What's actually frustrating her is that so many people want to challenge Gu Chao, but not herself. Ah, maybe it's because her own strength is too high, and no one dares to challenge her, while this kid Gu Chao has low strength, and everyone thinks he's easy to bully.

  Yi Shuiwu obviously can't truly understand her own strength, she usually fights with people who have a lot of strength "higher" than hers and still manages to beat them, that's why it ended up like this.

  Yi Shuiwu supported her chin with one hand, and thought to herself, let's just watch how this junior brother Gu Chao loses, maybe I can even give him some advice.

  Ko Choujin didn't mind the gaze of the landlady Xiaoyu and the girl Yishuiwu.

  There's no way, now there are too many people staring at Gu Chao.

  After arriving at the wine house, Gu Chao started drinking freely.

  The wine in the silver bottle had a very low alcohol content, and Gu Chao had already discovered that in this Eastern world, the alcohol content of wines was generally on the lower side. Could it be that this world hadn't yet discovered the technology to distill liquor? It was entirely possible. Maybe one day he could become a wine merchant, make a fortune, and use the money earned from selling wine to support his martial arts training. However, Gu Chao immediately shot down this idea - if he wanted to make money or do business, he would still have to rely on his martial arts skills, but his current abilities were too weak. With such abilities, collaborating with others would only lead to being exploited and taken advantage of.

  Drinking wine with an air of ancient elegance, lost in thought.

  "Old senior, wait for me to meet you, I've taken down your nameplate." A twenty-year-old or so senior brother rushed up the stairs, swinging his long knife straight at Gu Chao. This move was one of the South Mountain Knife Methods, called "Mountain Trend Direct Impact", which used brute force to strike at the opponent.

  Gu Chao didn't even raise an eyebrow, the long copper knife on the table suddenly came out of its scabbard, the knife was like the wind, and with a single strike of the back of the blade, there was a loud crash as that twenty-something year old senior brother was struck by Gu Chao's knife and fell directly from the second floor of the wine building to the street.

  "That's the thirteenth one."

  "This seems to be the ninth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, and was defeated by a single sword."

  "Haha, this young fellow named Gu Chao is quite formidable."

  "Yes, let's continue watching the show."

  Others who come to find Gu Chao are naturally not possible to attack. The reason why Gu Chao can sit stably until now is that the twelve people who launched an attack on Gu Chao before were easily defeated by Gu Chao with a few moves and thrown onto the street, and now this is the thirteenth one. After defeating these thirteen people, Gu Chao was still drinking wine quite calmly.

  ……

  "Hmm, you're quite skilled! Are all the younger generation of masters this formidable nowadays?" A young man in his early twenties exclaimed, walking out from among the crowd.

  As the young man walked out, the crowd beside him automatically dispersed.

  This young man's eyes were quite sharp, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, carrying a somewhat narrow and long knife on his back.

  This young man is not comparable to the thirteen ordinary opponents he had previously dispatched. His name was Ryūzaki, and he was a master of the Wind Blade Technique, which was rooted in his agility. In terms of speed, Ryūzaki was one of the fastest among all the outer disciples of the Taishan Sect who were not yet at the Innate Realm. It was said that his Wind Blade Technique had already reached a level close to perfection.

  Yuzuru Hanyu arrived, and immediately sparked a huge commotion from the crowd nearby.

  After all, Ryūsaka's reputation is still quite large, and some people even secretly call him the fastest sword of the Taishan Sect's acquired realm.

  Yanagisawa walked up to the second floor step by step, his footsteps quick and steady. As a master, he had to have the aura of a master. Yanagisawa undoubtedly had that aura: "Koshiro, sorry about this, but I'm going to take your badge."

  "Do you want to be the fourteenth?" Gu Chao said calmly.

  Gu Chao started speaking, and at first everyone was still in a daze, but soon they all reacted.

  Gu Chao's meaning is very clear, he has already defeated thirteen people and wants Liu Ze to be the fourteenth. This joke can be opened big. Liu Ze, this Tai Shan Sect's first-rate fast knife, is not a fake name. Liu Ze's strength among the disciples of the acquired realm is absolutely among the top few, but now Gu Chao, such a rookie, actually dares to defeat Liu Ze, who has already become famous for a long time, this joke can be opened big.

  Liu Ze also smiled, but it was an unnatural smile. He really didn't expect Gu Chao, this junior brother, to be so arrogant! In his heart, he was secretly angry. As the number one fast knife of the Tai Shan Sect's acquired realm, he had a considerable amount of pride. He had already made up his mind that he would definitely heavily defeat Gu Chao and make him understand what it means to respect one's senior brother.

  The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
