"Hmm." Xiao Yin raised a brow and picked a random drink. She raised it to her lips and took a sip.

Hmm?!

Her eyes widened in surprise.

What wine was this?!!! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Rice wine, bamboo wine, Baijiu, none of them tasted nearly as good as this!

"Like it?" Tian Hua smiled.

"What wine is this?!" Xiao Yin said with shock.

"Hmm. Ordinary red wine from... Baodiuxi?" Tian Hua replied. She knew that it was french but forgot the exact pronunciation. Well, at least the place was called a name similar to the sound ’baodiuxi’.

Xiao Yin flung her head back and tossed the entire glass of wine down her throat. "Marvellous!"

She grabbed another and downed it, and then another and and another.

The taste...

The aftertaste left in her mouth...

It was marvelous!

All marvellous!

"Senior Silver Star Sage..." Tian Hua’s voice fleeted into her ears, but her figure was unstable and wavering.

"I’m drunk....?" Xiao Yin blinked her eyes slowly.

This was completely unscientific, unmystic, and uncultivational!

How could she get drunk from only... only....

Xiao Yin suddenly felt very drowsy.

She frowned and clenched her fist.

It had... It had to be the fault of this pathetic mortal body!

Yes, that must be the reason!

She reasoned as she struggled to stay lucid.

Tian Hua blinked in confusion.

Was Senior Silver Star Sage’s alcohol tolerance really that low?!

Weren’t experts supposed to be able to, like, blink away the influence of the wine?

F*ck, she had planned on asking how she would be able to start cultivating by herself, or, at least, learn one or two cool techniques from her!

Now, she was drunk and could no longer stay lucid, directly entering into a half awake and half asleep state!

Tian Hua was feeling very aggrieved.

At this time, the middle aged lady that had been taking care of her came along with a smile. "Hello, young miss."

Tian Hua smiled cutely and greeted her. "Good evening, Aunty."

She lowered the tray in her hand and offered her a drink. "Drink, aunty?"

"Oh, no." Auntie Cai waved her off. She looked at the drowsy Xiao Yin. "The young miss seems tired already. It seems like I’ll have to take her to her room for a good rest!"

"Hmm?" Tian Hua blinked her eyes in confusion.

Was this woman a nanny for Senior Silver Star Sage?

But why would a powerful Cultivator need a caretaker?!

She felt like something was seriously wrong with the situation!

***

As Auntie Cai carried off the young miss of the Jiang family, Bai Ningxue sneered and found a secluded corner to quietly delve back into the shadows. She had followed Sister Luo who had been disguised as a young businesswoman named Zhou Yinzhou. Though she could not sneak into the bathroom with them, just the fact that two women entered the same bathroom together was enough to that something was not normal!

Especially as two people had entered, but only one person came out!

Unless there was a murder, which was also an abnormal matter, she could only assume that the other person had been knocked out and hidden.

Then considering the fact that, among those two persons, one was a cultivator who knew illusion techniques and the other an ordinary mortal, it was very fitting fit her to assume that it was the Cultivator whom she was currently seeing.

The three impostors had come looking for some heaven defying treasure item that even her teacher was interested in, and the silver haired beauty was somehow related to it all. Since they were now about to abduct her, it was only natural that she would come along.

If they managed to get the heaven defying treasure item that could make one unparalleled under heaven and earth, then she would steal it from them and give it to her teacher.

But if the silver haired beauty was just a coincidence in the entire plot, then she would ensure that she would not be killed out of spite. Cultivators had a very intense mindset, and most of them had little to no regard for the human life!

At this moment, Sister Zheng and Brother Fu quietly meandered their way past the small circles of cliques and approached the servants. As for why here were servants in the 21st century, well, one could go ahead and ask the author.

Perhaps Mr. Jiang had a maid fetish and was paying them to dress up as maids and butlers?

Anyways, they used some secret arts to get the servants to follow them to the back, where they knocked them out and assumed their appearances.

Thus, while the drunk young miss of the Jiang family was being ’taken to her room so she could rest’, Brother Fu and Sister Zheng used the false identities to sneak into the building.

Bai Ningxue, who was already hidden in the shadows, quietly followed behind them.

***

Outside the building, however, a man stood far away on a tree and gazed at the mansion with a cold look in his eyes. "Surnamed Xiao... Surely you shall not escape me today!"

***

Meanwhile, Xiao Shen was busy passing drinks and finger foods about, when Tian Hua came over with a dispirited look. He raised a brow and looked at her. "Hua-Hua, what’s wrong?"

Tian Hua smiled cutely and shook her head. "Nothing!"

She absolutely could not let Xiao Shen know that she wanted to find a way to start cultivating!

From Chu Miao’s answer yesterday, when she had asked to learn some cool spells, it felt like Chu Miao had wanted to teach her a few and only stopped in her tracks so that she could give Xiao Shen some face!

She knew that cultivation, magic and this entire new world that existed on the other side was fraught with danger, bloodshed and hardship, but still.

It would be very cool to be able to cast fireballs or ride a flying sword!

"Mm-hmm." Xiao Shen nodded his head and decided not to probe into the matter anymore. He then looked at the stairs where the middle aged Auntie was dragging what seemed to be a sleeping Silver Star Sage up the stairs on her wheelchair.

[F*ck!]

[F*ck!]

[F*ck!]

[F*ck!]

[F*ck!]

Messages suddenly flooded the bullet chat.

[Lighting a candle for that girl!]

[Lighting two candles for that brave soul!]

[Lightning THREE candles for that brave, ignorant soul!]

Xiao Shen blinked in confusion.

What was going on?

[Fairy Wuthering Heavens Heart Master: Ahaha, someone is actually trying to kidnap that despicable Silver Star Sage!]

Xiao Shen was speechless.
