The elderly Taoist from the Taoist Sect, with hair-raising seniority, finished drinking twenty-one jars of inferior village alcohol with Li Qidao before leaving, taking Zhang Tingyun and Qin Xiao with them as they departed.
The little girl wanted to stay a bit longer, but the sky had gradually darkened.
If she stayed any longer, Elder Zhang Weiran from Jinxian County would probably actually develop a headache.
As they were leaving, Qin Xiao glanced at the pile of empty jars.
He sniffed the air. The smell of alcohol was pungent and tainted with a murky sourness. Qin Xiao instinctively covered his nose and mouth, feeling a sense of disgust.
His father, though born into the Taoist Sect, rarely drank, but his mother hailed from a battlefield lineage, ruling the Sky River and always fond of drinking, so they had plenty of fine wines at home.
He could tell at a glance just how bad this alcohol was.
Not only was it pungent, but it also had a rancid smell.
