Drunken Memories

In the cafeteria, Fang Yue was indeed starving like a ghost. The other students who passed by would really misunderstood that the two students of the three students were competing to see who could eat more, and unbelievably, the David was keeping up with the Goliath.

When the two were halfway full, a pile of plates already formed. The two were now slowing down, conversation has just started now.

"So what happened, really?" Fang Yue asked, he can't really understand how did he end up being dead drunk.

"Haha!" As usual, Shi Hao would start laughing first before talking. "It was partly our fault actually, and we really do apologize about it."

"Huh, what's there to apologize?" Fang Yue was now more confused.

"Well, lets first talk about your Fang surname." Shi Hao started explaining. "We thought that you were from the very powerful clan who controlled the entire east region of the continent. Which means that, in a sense, you should be a powerful cultivator. So...we did not worry about you drinking Spirit wine a lot."

"We've really overestimated your ability, indeed.." Wang Lou Lan can only nod her head gracefully as she commented.

Laughing while shaking his head, Shi Hao can't help but solemnly praise the young man in front of him. "Come on, Lou Lan. For a mortal like brother Yue, one can't help but admire his greatness. He even took down the oh so great Huang Xiao Dan."

Shi Hao's expression made Fang Yue speechless.

"And who is this, Huang Xiao Dan?" It took Fang Yue awhile to realize that there was an unknown involved person on the story now.

"He's one of our classmate in the block A. Despite that bastard being a clown, he's one of the strongest cultivator of our batch under the 12 Council." Wang Lou Lan described.

Based from the description of this guy, Fang Yue raised his eyebrow, baffled. "If he's that strong, then how was I able to take him down?"

"Well, you had a drinking match against him." Shi Hao stated in an exciting manner as he then retold the story.

"At that time, we were talking about martial arts and all. Then, I guess you were already drunk at that time because you were starting to copy this drunken master in the movies.."

As Shi Hao retold the story, even the ever graceful and quiet Wang Lou Lan can't help but laugh at this part of the story.

"..as you were getting excited with your drunken moves, that's the time you bumped into Huang Xiao Dan. And as you know, typical young masters, he got pissed right away and was about to beat you up. Even though things got heated up, I've really admired your courage as you still faced that guy with your drunken stance. So, as your responsible brother, I have to intervene. After a series of heated discussion, you've proposed a drinking competition. Whoever gets to finish three bottles of Spirit Wine first will be the winner. The loser will get to be the lackey for the entire school year.

We've tried stopping you, you know? But, you were adamant about it. You kept saying that a man should have balls, and all. Thus, we have no choice but to let you fight your own battle despite we were expecting that you will lose already. But, miracles do exists, you know. At that time, Huang Xiao Dan was already pretty drunk. The competition from you two was intense. Luckily, Huang Xiao Dan was knocked out first before he can finish his third bottle of wine.

You silenced the crowd, brother, after downing the third bottle, you slammed hard the bottle on the table which thankfully did not broke, and beat your chest and screamed like Tarzan. Man, that was epic! Someone even posted the video on Utube. Thankfully, you got skinny and your skin got fairer. If not, the whole campus would be able to identify you right away -- The Mortal who defeated the Immortal."

After hearing the story, Fang Yue's face were red as he covered it with his palm while shaking his head from being disgraceful. "I don't think I have the face to show anymore. There goes my college life..haays.."

"Haha. Don't stress about it, brother." Shi Hao tried to console as he raised his hand calling for the waiter asking for the bill.

"Why?" Fang Yue was really feeling glum as he rested his face kn his hand sulking. "If that Huang Xiao Dan is really a bastard as you say, then I bet he'll make my life miserable from now on."

"Well, it's true..especially that the university won't allow us Cultivator Majors to intervene in one's battle to each own's dao path." Wang Lou Lan commented.

"Eh?" Fang Yue was surprised to hear this. "What does that mean?"

"It means that the university allow us to bully fellow Cultivation Majors and no one should intervene by protecting that fellow student. But, of course, the university does not allow us to bully fellow mortal students." Wang Lou Lan explained.

"But aren't I a mortal?" Fang Yue could not help but justify himself.

Hearing this, Wang Lou Lan can only let out a deep sigh. "You are not indeed from the Fang clan."

"We really are sorry, brother." Shi Hao's face was starting to be apologetic. "If we have realized sooner, we would have not dragged you in this messy world."

"Yes, you are a mortal. But once you have entered the world of cultivation, there's no going back. Even if you will be shifting to another program, you would still be considered a practitioner. Someone who have walked in the road of Dao. It's like an ever changing maze, there's only one entrance and one exit, and the exit is where your own dao lies or death. Even death may not become your exit, and will only make you even more stuck in the ever changing maze.."

As Shi Hao kept talking, Fang Yue could not really understand how serious becoming a cultivator is. Doubts still lingers in the back of his mind to how Shi Hao describe the life of a cultivator. But seeing the sincerity of the faces of his friends, he can't help but believe them. 'But somehow, isn't this what I wanted? To start a new life all over? This is the closest to reincarnation..'

A couple of breathes passed by, Fang Yue finally let out the turbid air that was swelling inside of him. Shi Hao was still explaining how sorry he was, but finally, Fang Yue raised his hand to cut him off.

"It's alright, brother." Fang Yue sincerely smiled. "Since you have taken me to this world without my permission, then you just need to take responsibility of me."

"Eh?" Shi Hao and Wang Lou Lan were caught off guard. "Brother..what do you mean? You know that I don't swing that way."

Fang Yue only chuckled as the vein at the side of his head was bulging. "Oh brother, rest assured that I don't swing that way also."

Hearing this, Wang Lou Lan could not help but chuckle sweetly also. "Stupid boar."

"What" Shi Hao was now confused. "What's going on?"

"Since you've dragged me into this world, then shouldn't you provide or do something that will help me survive without your protection?" Fang Yue explained.

"Ahh!" Shi Hao was now finally enlightened. "I think I know what to do with this."

Shi Hao skillfully took out his smart phone and dialed a number. After three rings, someone picked up on the other side. "Hello, Butler Sun."

"Hello, Young master Hao. What can I do for you?"

"Can you deliver my training equipments back when I was still 14? And bring hundreds of Five basic pills while at it."

"As you wish, young master. These will be delivered by tomorrow morning."

"Thank you!" Shi Hao dropped the call right away.

"What was that all about?" Fang Yue eyed his very tall pale brother, not knowing what was happening.

Shi Hao gave a wide cheeky smile. "Well just like you said, I'll take responsibility of you. I'll make you a strong cultivator enough to fend for yourself."

"And here I thought you only know how to laugh every time." Wang Lou Lan snickered as she gracefully sipped on her tea cup.

Shi Hao could only roll his eyes as the bell rang. The morning break has ended, and the next class is about to start. The three got up on their seats and parted their ways to each of their classes.

"Lets meet in the Dao Hall after this class." Wang Lou Lan offered before the three could part.

"Err..what's the Dao Hall?" Fang Yue ignirantly asked.

"Haha. It's the library, brother. The bulding at the peak of this mountain." Shi Hao laughed before he answered.

"Oh. Okay." Fang Yue noted.
