Chapter 76 Making Friends
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
I never expected Jian Jingfeng to have such a high opinion of Gu Qianbei.
Although Gu Qianbei's swordsmanship is indeed formidable, with Jian Jingfeng's cultivation as a Grandmaster, he should be more than qualified to be her master.
"You flatter me, senior."
Gu Qianbei smiled slightly, neither humble nor arrogant.
clap clap.
Haitang walked out from the side, clapping her hands and smiling.
"What a splendid competition! It could be more fitting as the opening act for today's grandest banquet in the world."
"Master, I was just itching to show off my skills, please don't take offense."
Jian Jingfeng cupped his hands in a respectful manner.
"Senior Sword, what are you saying? It is all thanks to you that we were able to witness such a wonderful sword duel."
The two became friends after a fight.
This young master Gu is not only skilled in swordsmanship, but his winemaking skills are also exceptional.
The wine served at today's banquet is called Dragon Tiger, and it was all made by this Young Master Gu. Senior Sword, you should definitely try it later.
"Oh? Then this old man will certainly have a good taste."
Jian Jingfeng laughed.
"Everyone, the competition is over. Go back now."
Upon hearing this, everyone returned to the main hall, while Haitang went to Gu Qianbei's side.
"Brother Gu, you have truly broadened my horizons."
There was surprise and curiosity in Haitang's eyes.
She had read Gu Qianbei's profile, and in the few times he had used his swordsmanship, he had not displayed such astonishing skill.
The unexpected use of it surprised her quite a bit.
Such swordsmanship was clearly not something that could be mastered in a short time, indicating that Gu Qianbei had been hiding many trump cards.
Little did Haitang know that Gu Qianbei had never used it before, so he didn't know how.
I've only practiced the Eclipse Sword Technique for less than three days at most.
However, with Gu Qianbei's comprehension and the enhancement of the Thousand Days Drunk, this sword technique has already reached its peak.
What we lack now is only strong internal energy.
"A trivial skill, not worth mentioning."
Gu Qianbei smiled and didn't delve into the matter. Instead, he looked at Jian Jingfeng.
"If I have any questions about swordsmanship in the future, I hope I can spar with you again, senior."
"Haha, I couldn't be happier!"
Jian Jingfeng laughed heartily, feeling a strong connection with Gu Qianbei and considering becoming close friends despite their age difference.
"Manager Gu, your strength has improved so quickly. The last time I saw you, you were only at the Acquired Realm, and now you're at the Innate Realm. And you have such a sword technique. You're really something."
Sikong Zhaixing stepped forward to express his amazement, but Gu Qianbei brushed it off with a casual remark about luck.
Next, everyone took their seats, and Haitang hosted the banquet. For a time, everyone was in a good mood.
Gu Qianbei became the focus of the banquet because of his battle with Jian Jingfeng, and quite a few people came up to get to know him.
"My surname is Qin, my given name is Zhong, and people call me Master Qin. I am naturally strong. The manor owner gave me face and bestowed upon me the title of the strongest man in the world."
I see you as an honest person, and this wine is exceptionally well-made. I'd like to be your friend.
Qin Zhong looked to be over two meters tall, with a muscular physique, like a small mountain, exuding an aura of intimidation.
With that physique, even without martial arts training, most martial artists below the Acquired Realm level would probably be no match for him.
Looking at the other person's outstretched hand, Gu Qianbei smiled and grasped it.
"Gu Qianbei, aspiring to become the world's number one winemaker. With your straightforwardness, Master Qin, I naturally want to be your friend."
"hey-hey."
Qin Zhong chuckled and scratched his head, giving off a rather goofy vibe.
At this moment, a young man in white walked over, holding a folding fan, with an elegant demeanor.
"My name is Bai Wuxia. I am honored to have been valued by the Master of the Manor and have been given the title of the most virtuous gentleman in the world."
Having met Brother Gu today, I am filled with admiration and have come specifically to make his acquaintance.
Bai Wuxia appeared to be a gentleman, but Gu Qianbei knew that he was a complete hypocrite.
He was identified as an undercover agent of the Eastern Depot when the story of "Number One Under Heaven" began, and died very quickly.
However, at present, there is no flaw in the opponent's defenses.
Or perhaps this gentleman was originally a true gentleman, but was later corrupted.
"So it's the famous Young Master Bai Wuxia, a pleasure to meet you."
Gu Qianbei gave a slight bow, brushing it off perfunctorily.
That's how banquets are; they're full of social interaction.
After spending some time there and dealing with a group of people, Gu Qianbei felt a little tired.
He immediately seized an opportunity and slipped away.
"This kind of life is definitely not for me. Next time, I'll learn from Zhu Ting and say I can't come because something came up."
With these thoughts in mind, Gu Qianbei was already sitting on the roof of the brewery.
Leaning against the roof tiles, taking out a gourd to drink a couple of sips, and having a few peanuts, that's the life of a god.
Suddenly, someone arrived.
"Brother Gu, why are you drinking here alone? Are you perhaps dissatisfied with the food at the banquet?"
Upon hearing the voice, Gu Qianbei stood up and looked over; it was Haitang who had arrived.
"The food was good, but it was too noisy. I don't like such lively scenes. By the way, what brings you here, Master? Has the banquet ended?"
Haitang lightly touched the ground with her feet and used her lightness skill to sit down next to Gu Qianbei.
"They had all drunk quite a bit, so I had someone take them home separately."
I was so busy with social engagements all night that I suddenly wanted a drink, only to find that they had finished all the alcohol at the banquet.
I've only come to ask Brother Gu for a drink.
As Haitang spoke, her gaze fell on Cangguang Gourd.
"I heard from Detective Zhang that you, Brother Gu, have some fine wine that is no less than the sunflower wine brewed in the sun. Drinking it will refresh your mind, clear away all your worries, and bring you a good night's sleep."
I wonder if I can try it?
There have been so many miscellaneous things happening in the village lately, I haven't had a good night's sleep in ages.
As Haitang spoke, she rubbed her temples, looking quite tired.
"It's just a glass of wine, nothing wrong with that."
Gu Qianbei smiled, picked up the Cangguang Gourd with his right hand, and condensed a golden wine cup with golden light in his left hand. The white and green Bihe Dew soon filled the wine cup.
Looking at the golden wine glass handed over by Gu Qianbei, Haitang exclaimed in amazement as she took it and examined it carefully.
"Brother Gu's martial art is truly convenient; it can even conjure objects out of thin air."
"It's just a little trick for controlling internal energy, nothing to brag about. Master, you should drink it as soon as possible, otherwise this golden wine cup won't last long."
Gu Qianbei said with a smile.
Haitang nodded, then drank the Jade Lotus Dew in the golden wine cup in one gulp.
The refreshing taste made Haitang's eyes widen instantly, and she felt her mind, which had been exhausted from overthinking, relax all at once.
The pleasurable sensation almost made her cry out.
"This is truly fine wine. Brother Gu, with your ability to brew such a diverse array of exquisite wines, the title of the world's greatest winemaker is undoubtedly yours."
Haitang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Gu Qianbei smiled slightly and suddenly snapped his fingers.
A snap.
The golden wine cup in Haitang's hand shattered, turning into specks of golden light that dissipated into the night.
That scene was like a small firework exploding, dazzling and brilliant.
