Chapter 64: Returning to Old Haunts

  Feng Xiao Xiao left Yangzhou and arrived at Xiangyang, where his Jianghu career began.

  Xiangyang is now a place where nothing remains the same, with big and small shops lining the streets and alleys. The number of Axe Gang members running around has also decreased slightly. However, some original shops still exist, including the tea house that left Feng Xiao Xiao with painful memories.

  The teahouse owner is an NPC, so his memory can be said to be a hard drive, which has not been formatted yet, because he can still recognize Feng Xiao Xiao. Although it's an intelligent NPC, it only said one sentence: "It's you!" and then there was no deeper conversation afterwards.

  Feng Xiao Xiao sat down in her familiar and accustomed seat, ordered a pot of tea, and slowly sipped it. Feng Xiao Xiao had developed some psychological fear towards the tea house as a gathering place for people, afraid that she might run into acquaintances or get into trouble like quarrels, but today's luck seemed to be good, everything was so calm, and no coincidental scenes occurred.

  The wind was so strong that it felt uninteresting, got up and left the tea house, and walked towards the mountain top where he and Liu Ruoxue used to practice in the early days. The friend list showed that Liu Ruoxue was online, but at this moment, he didn't want to contact any acquaintances, just wanted to wander around like this. At Liu Ruoxue's level, she shouldn't still be practicing on the mountain top now.

  The god of luck would not always favor the same person. At the moment when Feng Xiao Xiao stepped onto the mountain top, he discovered his choice was a failure. The mountain top was bustling with people, and among the many male players, Liu Ruoxue's existence stood out particularly prominently. Feng Xiao Xiao effortlessly spotted her at a glance.

  Liu Ruoxue's eyes were sharp enough, and she loudly shouted "Feng Xiao Xiao", letting Feng Xiao Xiao's plan to quickly go down the mountain be instantly ruined.

  The wind was blowing gently as they walked forward, and towards the willow tree, Yu Ruoxue waved her hand and exclaimed loudly: "Long time no see!"

  Liu Ruoxue nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"

  The wind whispered around and looked around, saying: "You're still here bringing people to level up!"

  Liu Ruoxue nodded in agreement, and then pulled Feng Xiao into the crowd, saying to everyone: "This is my good friend Feng Xiaoxiao that I often mention to you all!"

  The wind whispers to the crowd with a smile and nods in agreement.

  A pretty and high-ranking girl in the game would naturally be pursued by many male players, but this girl always mentions how great her friend is, and this friend just happens to be a guy. Everyone's heart would naturally feel very uncomfortable, and now this guy has appeared in front of everyone, the treatment he receives can be imagined.

  So, the gaze of the wind is more hostile. However, Feng Xiao also counts as a celebrity, and familiar friends on the forum can recognize at a glance that Feng Xiao is the expert who defeated Longyan, and some players come up to be affectionate with Feng Xiao.

  Next, Liu Ruoxue shouted that she wouldn't practice anymore and wanted to take Feng Xiaoxiao out for a meal, under the pretext of "welcoming him with a feast!"

  The rest of the players, some with ulterior motives towards Liu Ruoxue and others who genuinely wanted to befriend Xiao Xiao, all clamored to go together. As a result, a large group of people set off from the mountain and headed straight for Xiangyang.

  On the way, they discussed a few questions with Liu Ruoxue.

  1. What level are you at now? Why are you still leveling up on the mountain top!

  2. The people who leveled up with you have seen a lot more than they did at first!

  What are we going to eat!

  Liu Ruoxue gave the following explanation for the above question.

  1. Currently at level 69, I don't go elsewhere because this is the most suitable place for me to bring people to level up!

  2. The crowd is a recent development, with two reasons: one is to guard against the killer organization that has been rampant in the rivers and lakes recently, and the other is that Yi Jian Dong Lai's struggle with Tie Qi Meng is becoming more and more intense, so people gather together in case of PK at any time!

  3. There is a restaurant in Xiangyang that we often go to, it's very good!

  After Liu Ruoxue finished explaining in a nagging tone, Xiangyang City was already under everyone's feet.

  The gathering at the restaurant is a familiar scene for Feng Xiao, but today's scale is unprecedented. More than 20 people squeezed in and sat down at three tables.

  The wind whispered to Liu Ruoxue: "So many people eating, it must cost a lot of money!"

  Liu Ruoxue smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, this restaurant is mine, they'll all have to pay for their own meals in a while!"

  The wind was blowing gently, and with a flick of his thumb, he pointed and said: "God of Wealth!"

  In the game, of course, there won't be a problem with ordering food and waiting, instantly the table is already full, Liu Ruoxue even considerately ordered wine for the male players, of course, she mainly considers her restaurant's business.

  Since they came under the banner of giving Feng Xiao a warm welcome, Feng Xiao naturally became the main character at the dinner table. Everyone had different purposes and competed to toast him first.

  Feng Xiao Xiao was still very clear about his own two sons, in order to avoid some embarrassing things from happening. When it came to the wine that was being offered to him, Feng Xiao Xiao would try to avoid it if possible, and if not, he would just pretend to drink it. Even so, the wine still ended up going down his throat cup by cup. The key thing was that everyone didn't think it was excessive to have one cup, but after going around in circles, they came up with all sorts of strange reasons. At first, it was "Let's welcome Brother Xiao with a drink!" which was still reasonable. But later on, there were things like "Wishing Sister Xiu's restaurant business would flourish" and "Wishing Yi Jian would become stronger and stronger", Feng Xiao Xiao silently cursed these irrelevant matters. In the end, it directly became: "Do you need a reason to drink?! Drink!"

  The wind was howling, calling out to the heavens without response, and calling out to the earth without resonance. Dizziness, blurred vision, and nausea began to appear. The wind remembered that previously, one sword had pierced the sky and taught itself that wine could be forced out with internal energy. Unfortunately, this theory did not apply to someone who was only at the basic stage of cultivating their internal energy.

  The atmosphere at the wine table is lively, everyone has drunk to a state of excitement and skill, no longer just looking for the wind to toast. Now it's time for free combination, the seating arrangement at the wine table is already very different from when we first arrived. Just chatting with someone next to me, turned my head back and found that someone else was already holding a cup waiting for me.

  Those who pulled hands and talked in a low voice, those who waved chopsticks and boasted loudly, those who continued to compete with wine by guessing fists, and those who stayed alone in the corner playing deeply, the people on the table were already colorful, the only thing that remained unchanged was that the wine was constantly being poured, and the dishes were occasionally added, otherwise Liu Ruoxue would not have been excitedly flushed.

  Feng Xiao Xiao belongs to the type of person who likes to chat with others, and there are always people coming over to pull him into conversations about their experiences traveling the world. Originally, Feng Xiao Xiao could have sobered up completely by now, but every time he finishes a conversation with someone, they don't forget to clink cups together for one last drink, allowing Feng Xiao Xiao's dizzy state to persist.

  Everyone made merry until they didn't know what time it was, and only then did they think of leaving. Under Liu Ruoxue's strict supervision, no one could use drunkenness as an excuse to escape paying the bill, instead saying that because they were drunk, they didn't know how much they had been fleeced by Liu Ruoxue.

  The wind was blowing gently, and he clearly felt that he was a bit drunk, because almost everyone at the table had told him their name, some even repeatedly emphasizing it during the conversation, but now he couldn't remember a single one.

  Liu Ruoxue received a considerable amount of silver from everyone's hands, and then returned to the dinner table, seeing Feng Xiao still sitting there, swaying precariously.

  The wind whistled as his eyes scanned the surroundings in a straight line, asking a pointless question: "Has everyone left?"

  Liu Ruoxue nodded and added another sentence: "It's just the two of us left!"

  The wind whispered and smiled slyly, saying: "What do you want to do?"

  Liu Ruoxue said: "Everyone has left, only the two of us are left, of course we should also leave!"

  The wind whispered for a moment and said: "That makes sense! So where are we going?"

  Liu Ruoxue thought for a moment and said: "Either I accompany you to level up, or you accompany me to stroll around the street?"

  "I think it's best if we find a place to sit down for a bit!"

  Liu Ruoxue said: "Alright then, let's go sit at the mountaintop!"

  "Why go so far?"

  "Where can we sit and fight monsters at the same time? Just sitting is too boring!"

  ……
