Chapter 221 Unrepentant Appeal (5)
After completing all the preparations, Wangyou bought another shop, intending to brew wine to sell.
"Second sister, we are cultivators, why should we learn the Six Arts of a Gentleman!"
"Of course, it's to help you become qualified gentlemen. You don't need to be proficient in the Six Arts of a gentleman, but you must know that you can choose one of them that you like best to study."
The three began their arduous learning journey. The teachers that Wangyou hired were all people of good character and excellent literary talent. In their spare time, besides cultivating, they also brewed wine with Wangyou.
As they got a little older, the three of them would go out together to train, take on exorcism missions, and earn some money along the way. Wangyou never stopped them from doing this.
Wangyou named the tavern "Youjian Tavern" because the wine it brewed was so fragrant and tempting that the tavern quickly became famous.
Of course, Wangyou didn't open the tavern to make money, so the wine in the tavern was sold in limited quantities, which made it even more famous.
The tavern first gained fame in Nanjing, and then word spread from person to person, so people from other places liked to come to Youjian Tavern to buy wine.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
Everyone knows that the proprietress of a tavern is incredibly beautiful, but everyone also knows that she's a ruthless woman, and that she has three handsome and accomplished brothers.
"The Lan Clan of Gusu has sent a visiting card. Looks like I'll have to go out and take a stroll." Wangyou said with a smile, looking at the gold-embossed card in her hand.
"I've heard that Mr. Lan's lectures are extremely famous, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to go and listen to them."
"Ayao, go and prepare a gift for Mr. Lan."
"understood."
"A-Xian, you should stay put. I've heard that the Lan Clan has many unusual rules. If you don't want to copy their rules, you'd better behave yourself."
"Wangyou, I'm the eldest brother, do you think I'm that unreliable?" Wei Wuxian scratched his head and said with some dissatisfaction.
"You have it!" Meng Yao, Wang You, and Xue Yang said in unison.
"Xue Yang, stop talking about me. You're not like me. Wangyou, why do you only talk about me and not about him?" Xianxian said, feeling wronged.
"Don't even mention it. You're at least a bit older than him. As long as you don't lead the way, he can still behave a little," Wangyou said irritably, swatting Wei Wuxian's hand away.
"Okay, Wangyou, don't worry, I definitely won't lead any trouble."
"Yeah, we don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. If there are any shameless troublemakers, we'll just fight them back."
"Second Sister Wangyou, I'm the best at beating people up!" Xue Yang said happily, waving his fist.
Subsequently, a tavern hung up a sign announcing its closure.
Since they were going out, they couldn't skimp on their appearance. Wangyou took out all sorts of fabrics she had been saving, and finally chose Floating Light Brocade to make two sets of clothes for each of the four of them.
Wangyou's is light blue, Wei Wuxian's is red, Meng Yao's is moon white, and Xue Yang's is black.
"As expected, you are just right for wearing red." Wei Wuxian, dressed in red, is so handsome that it's impossible to look away.
"Forget-Me-Not, isn't this a bit too flamboyant?"
"Second sister is right, eldest brother, red suits you perfectly, it matches your personality perfectly." Meng Yao, dressed in moon-white clothes, said with a smile, like a noble young master who stepped out of a painting.
“Ah Yao’s outfit is also nice.”
"Second sister, it's me! It's me!" Xue Yang came out dressed in all black.
"You're not bad either; you're the epitome of cunning."
“Wangyou, you’re beautiful too, like a fairy who has stepped out of a misty rain.” Wei Wuxian said with a smile, and the other two nodded vigorously.
"Let's go, it's time to set off." The four of them then set off for the Lan Clan of Gusu.
Upon arriving at the town below the Gusu Lan Clan, the group decided to rest for the night and went to find an inn.
After searching for a long time, the four finally found an inn where people could stay; all the other places were fully booked.
"Manager, four superior rooms," Wei Wuxian said with a smile as he walked over.
"Innkeeper, we'll have the whole inn booked."
"Who do we have here? It's someone from the Lanling Jin Clan. No wonder they're so wealthy and powerful," Wei Wuxian said sarcastically.
"That's right, you even paid for it, as if we couldn't afford it, right, Second Sister?" Xue Yang's smug voice rang out.
It turned out to be the carefree girl who owned a tavern.
"You must be Mianmian. You can't book this inn all the time. After all, it's the only one in the whole town with rooms available. If you insist on booking it, I'll have to spend my money." Wangyou recognized the girl, since Mianmian often came here to buy wine.
Mianmian glanced at Wangyou. Having frequented Youjian Tavern to buy wine, she knew very well that the girl in front of her was not short of money. If it were really about booking an inn, the girl might not be unable to afford it.
"Can I take half of it? There are quite a few people from the Lanling Jin Clan here."
"You can do as you please."
"Thank you!" Mianmian said with a smile. After paying the room fee, Wangyou and the others were led to their rooms by the waiter.
Wangyou used a cleaning spell to tidy up the room, and her gaze couldn't help but fall on the Cloud Recesses, which were shrouded in mist.
There is also yin energy here, exactly the same as the yin energy on the iron block she obtained from the Chang family. It seems that there should also be fragments of the Ghost Seal in this Cloud Recesses.
Lost in thought, Wangyou didn't hear the commotion downstairs. Instead, Wei Wuxian, Meng Yao, and Xue Yang ran down to see what was going on.
It turned out that Jiang Cheng of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan and Jin Zixuan of the Lanling Jin Clan had a quarrel. The cause was the Lanling Jin Clan's booking of the inn. The Jiang family had just put down their luggage when the waiter told them that half of the inn was booked and they could not stay there.
"Isn't Jin Zixuan of the Lanling Jin Clan and Jiang Yanli of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan engaged? The two families should have a good relationship, so why do they seem to be at odds?" Xue Yang asked curiously.
"Who knows? These two engaged people look like they don't know each other at all," Wei Wuxian said after observing them.
"They probably aren't really familiar with each other, but the Jin family is indeed domineering. They moved in first, even though the other family moved in first," Meng Yao remarked. However, the three of them were just watching the show and didn't intend to help.
"Then why are they allowed to live here? They don't look like members of the Jin family!" Jiang Cheng pointed his finger, and the three onlookers were immediately blamed.
Is he talking about us?
"If you remove the word 'ma,' he's talking about us."
"Young master, they are the people from Youjian Tavern," Mianmian whispered to Jin Zixuan.
"We can live here because we earned it through our own merits. If you're not happy, you can also earn it through your own merits, as long as you can outcompete the Jin family in terms of wealth," Wei Wuxian's arrogant voice rang out.
"What is Big Brother so proud of?" Xue Yang whispered to Meng Yao.
"She's probably proud to have such a wonderful younger sister as her second sister," Meng Yao whispered.
"Then I'm proud too." Xue Yang straightened his chest.
People from both the Jin and Jiang families noticed the three of them and couldn't help but praise them, saying, "What outstanding young men!"
"who are you?"
"My name is Wei Ying, courtesy name Wuxian!"
"You are Wei Wuxian, you are the Wei Wuxian my father always talked about!" Jiang Cheng said in disbelief.
"If it's not just someone with the same name, then it's probably me." Wei Wuxian didn't actually have any intention of acknowledging the Jiang family. Although Uncle Jiang treated him very well, he was now very glad that he didn't live in the Jiang family.
