Chapter 74 I Just Want to Drink a Glass of Wine from You
Xin Zhen was surprised and said, "Five Treasures Honey Wine? Master Lan, your gift is a bit too much."

Lan Fenghuang said with a smile: "Master Xin, do you dare to drink it?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "When a friend invites you to drink, there is no reason not to drink. If you don't drink, you are not a good friend."

As he spoke, Xin Zhen took the Five Treasures Honey Wine and drank it in one gulp, even swallowing the five poisonous insects into his stomach.

Lan Fenghuang was overjoyed. She stood up and hugged Xin Zhen's head, kissed him on the cheek and said with a smile: "This is a good brother."

Xin Zhen smiled openly and said, "Then I will call you Sister Lan from now on."

Lan Fenghuang said happily: "Why call me Sister Lan? Just call me Sister. Calling me Sister Lan is too distant."

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll call you sister from now on."

Lan Fenghuang responded sweetly: "Hey, good brother."

The two smiled at each other.

Before they reached Wubagang, Lan Fenghuang pulled Xin Zhen aside and asked, "My dear brother, I heard that you were once a high-ranking official in the imperial court, but were harmed by a traitor and ended up wandering around the world. If you have nowhere to go, why don't you go to the Miao village with me? I guarantee you will have a sweet life if you go to my Miao village."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Sister, I still have a lot of things to do."

Lan Fenghuang said, "That's right. My friend... hehe, she will definitely not let you go to my place."

Xin Zhen smiled but said nothing.

Suddenly, a sturdy man outside said, "Master, there is a problem."

Lan Fenghuang was very agile. She ran to the window barefoot, lifted the curtain and looked out. Xin Zhen also reached out and lifted a corner.

The vehicle seemed to have arrived at a town. Outside the car window was a restaurant. A short Taoist priest was sitting in the restaurant. He was Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect.

Yu Canghai sat at a small table, on which were placed a wine jug, chopsticks, three plates of side dishes, and a gleaming unsheathed sword.

There were seven benches surrounding the small table, with a person sitting on each bench. These people were both men and women, and they all looked quite ferocious. There were weapons on each bench. The seven people stared at Yu Canghai in silence.

Although surrounded by enemies, Yu Canghai remained very calm. He held the wine glass in his left hand and drank from it, without his sleeves trembling at all.

Lan Fenghuang said in admiration, "This dwarf is surrounded by the two wonders of Tongbai, the evil beggar Yan Sanxing with twin snakes, the long-haired monk Qiu Songnian, the monk Xibao, the Taoist Yuling, Madam Zhang and others, yet he is still so calm. It's amazing."

Xin Zhen looked at the seven people.

A middle-aged blind woman and a blind man, using a golden crutch, must be the two wonders of Tongbai.

Qiu Songnian should be the man dressed as a monk and wielding a pair of curved swords.
Taoist Yuling dressed as a Taoist and used an octagonal wolf-tooth hammer.
Monk Xibao wore blood-red robes and played pure steel cymbals.
Yan Sanxing dressed up as a beggar and even kept two snakes.

Mrs. Zhang dressed like a woman and wielded a short sword.

While I was looking around, there was movement in the field.

The seven people surrounding Yu Canghai reached for their weapons and were about to attack at the same time. Yu Canghai laughed and said, "Winning by numbers is the usual trick of the evil demons. Why should I, Yu Canghai, be afraid?"

The blind man among the Tongbai Twins suddenly said, "Mr. Yu, we don't want to kill you."

The blind woman said, "That's right. You just need to bring out the Sword Manual of Exorcism and we will let you go politely."

Lan Fenghuang was surprised and whispered, "Brother, didn't you protect Lin Jiazi and defeat Yu the Dwarf? How come the Sword Manual of Exorcism fell into his hands?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "The sword manual is still in the hands of my Junior Brother Lin. Yu Canghai failed to steal fish and ended up getting into trouble."

Lan Fenghuang smiled and said, "It's his fault. Let's just ignore him. He deserves to die here. It's because he offended you, my brother."

Xin Zhen thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "That's not necessary."

Xin Zhen lifted the car curtain and got out, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the store.

When Yu Canghai saw Xin Zhen, his expression suddenly changed, but he still didn't say anything. Xin Zhen nodded with satisfaction. Yu Canghai was not a disaster, so it was worth saving him.

When Tongbai Shuangqi and others saw Xin Zhen and the entourage he was riding in, they realized that he was not an ordinary person and immediately took precautions.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "My fellow heroes, I am Xin Zhen. Can you listen to my advice?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the seven people who were surrounding Yu Canghai were suddenly shocked.

"Are you Xin Tanhua?"

"Yes, it is said that Xin Tanhua is in human form, and his appearance is better than Pan An's. Isn't that what he looks like?"

"Ah, it's actually Xin Tanhua?"

Everyone looked at each other, then bowed to Xin Zhen and said, "I am Zhou Gutong (Wu Baiying, Qiu Songnian, Lingyu...) to meet Xin Tanhua."

Seeing these people bowing to Xin Zhen respectfully, Yu Canghai's calm expression suddenly changed. He wondered why these people were so respectful to Xin Zhen?

Although Xin Zhen's swordsmanship was indeed superb, these unruly and evil characters would probably not be so polite even if they were facing Shaolin Master Fang Zheng, and might even use foul language to insult him.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "My fellow heroes, Xin Zhen originally didn't want to bother with this matter. Yu Canghai and I are not friends, and we even have some grudges against each other, but this matter is a bit of a misunderstanding. Since I have come across it, I will explain it to you."

Qiu Songnian said, "Please give me your instructions, Mr. Xin."

Xin Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's not an order, but an explanation. I was the one who escorted Lin Pingzhi. Yu Canghai wanted to rob the Sword Manual of Exorcism, but he didn't get the upper hand from me, so the Sword Manual of Exorcism is still in the hands of my junior brother."

Everyone looked at each other.

Madam Zhang said, "Since Mr. Xin said so, we must believe it, so let's do it.

But Xin Tanhua, you said that Yu Canghai has a grudge against you, do you want us to help you capture him and hand him over to you for disposal?"

Yu Canghai's face changed.

Xin Zhen looked at Yu Canghai, smiled and said, "No need to trouble you, but thank you all for your kindness."

Taoist Yuling saw this and said, "Okay, then we'll listen to Xin Tanhua. We'll go first then."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Goodbye, I won't see you off."

The seven people said goodbye to Xin Zhen one after another and left soon.

Yu Canghai looked at Xin Zhen warily.

Xin Zhen walked over and sat down and said, "Master Yu, I've helped you so much, why don't you treat me to a drink?"

Yu Canghai looked at Xin Zhen deeply, then said in a loud voice: "Boss, bring the wine."

The shopkeeper, who had been hiding in the kitchen for a long time, quickly took out the wine, drinks, bowls and chopsticks and set them aside, then quickly ran back and hid.

Xin Zhen looked at the empty wine bowl without moving.

Yu Canghai gritted his teeth, picked up the wine bottle and poured a bowl for Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's really not easy to drink a glass of wine from Master Yu."

Yu Canghai whispered, "Thank you very much today."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Last time at Liu's house, your Qingcheng Sect disciples were quite respectful to me. I heard that you told them to treat me as a teacher, and I was very touched."

Yu Canghai said with a stern face: "I'm just afraid that they don't know whether to live or die."
