Chapter 177: Strange Person

Zuitian Tower.

As soon as Lin Xing, Bi Yao, and You Ji stepped in, they attracted countless glances.

The women all turned their eyes to Lin Xing, their eyes shining with covetousness. Just by looking at his attire, they could tell that he was a young and wealthy noble son. Coupled with his handsome face full of unique charm, he was simply the dream lover of young girls!

And the men, without a doubt, turned their gazes to Bi Yao and You Ji. One was like a secluded lotus in full bloom, and the other was like a hibiscus flower blossoming. They each had their own charm and were extremely beautiful.

However, everyone only took a few glances and immediately seemed to think of something. They timidly turned their heads and didn't look again.

In Yangcheng, who didn't know about the Hehuan Sect!

The Hehuan Sect had more females than males. These two women were as beautiful as flowers, and there was a high chance that they were members of the sect. Even some powerful officials and wealthy merchants didn't want to get involved in such trouble.

And this man obviously had an equal status with the two women. In a sect full of women, someone who could reach such a position must have some means.

It's better to stay away!

Lin Xing had an extremely strong perception ability, and no one's gaze could escape his notice. He was a bit surprised that there was no plot of some bad young master harassing them.

Damn it! Another chance to show off was gone!

Zuitian Tower was packed with guests, and there were hardly any completely empty tables. Lin Xing led the two women to a table on the second floor and sat down. Opposite them was a middle-aged man who was only focused on drinking. When everyone else turned their heads earlier, he didn't move at all.

Moreover, the aura of this man seemed to be slightly different from that of the others. But Lin Xing couldn't tell exactly where the difference lay.

Lin Xing couldn't help but feel a bit curious about him.

"Boss, bring me one of each of the best dishes!" Lin Xing shouted loudly, slipping into the role of a nouveau riche.

"Can you pay attention to your image? It's so embarrassing!" Bi Yao glared at Lin Xing.

"Hmph, we won't be here for long anyway, and I'm not afraid of being recognized by others!" Lin Xing said, not caring at all.

"It's not about being recognized or not. It's a matter of manners!"

"Oh, who was it that didn't even wipe their mouth after eating drumsticks and is now talking to me about manners? It's really funny!"

"Looking for a beating!"

You Ji's gaze lingered between the two who were bickering. She was torn, worried, and then excited, her expression changing constantly.

"Can you two stop for a while?" You Ji said helplessly.

For some reason, seeing Bi Yao and Lin Xing bickering and completely ignoring her, You Ji actually felt a bit uncomfortable. She had always been cold to others, but today she was acting so strangely.

Towards Lin Xing, the man who had seen her in an embarrassing situation and had been indecent to her, You Ji had a feeling different from that towards others.

She actually cared more about him!

Lin Xing turned his head and looked at You Ji's veiled face suspiciously. "Beautiful lady, don't tell me you've fallen for me too? If you want to join in, just say so. What are you hesitating for?"

"You, you're the one ——" You Ji stammered. Before she could finish, Bi Yao angrily interrupted her, "You rascal! You can't say anything nice! And what do you mean by 'also'?"

"My dear Bi Yao, you have to face your own heart! Maybe you haven't realized it yet, but in fact, I know that the tall and handsome me has already left a deep and indelible mark in your heart! You don't need to be shy. It's normal to fall for me! After all, there aren't many people like me these days!"

"You playboy! Don't talk to me!"

"Are you jealous, Bi Yao?"

"Get lost!"

You Ji's face turned red. Lin Xing's words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples in her heart. She didn't know why, but Lin Xing's words made her feel a bit nervous.

"You two, pay attention. There are other people here," You Ji whispered as a reminder.

Bi Yao had also lost her composure because of Lin Xing. With You Ji's reminder, her delicate face instantly turned red. After all, she was still a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, not as thick-skinned as Lin Xing!

Bi Yao secretly glanced at that uncle and found that he was still drinking alone. She let out a sigh of relief. Turning back, she gave Lin Xing a fierce glare.

"What are you afraid of? Love between men and women is perfectly natural," Lin Xing said. Turning to the middle-aged man in front of him, he said, "Uncle will understand us, right?"

"You! Are! Looking! For! Death!" Bi Yao's slender hand reached under the table and pinched Lin Xing hard. The "Deadly Finger" seemed to be a natural skill of women!

Lin Xing tried hard to pull Bi Yao's delicate arm, taking the opportunity to take advantage.

The middle-aged man let out a few chuckles. Finally, he stopped drinking and raised his head. This was the first time Lin Xing saw his face.

His eyes were deep and profound, as if containing infinite wisdom and having experienced all the vicissitudes of the world.

Could a drunkard have such eyes?

His face was ordinary, but it exuded an imposing aura as if he dominated the world, with an awe-inspiring power even without getting angry. In his eyes, that kind of light seemed to be able to see through everything.

There seemed to be a hint of loss.

All those emotions flashed by in an instant. The middle-aged man gave a hearty laugh and looked at the group, especially lingering on Lin Xing for a while. "Interesting! Interesting! I really admire a person with true feelings like you!"

An ancient wine cup emerged from his sleeve. The middle-aged man held it in front of Lin Xing and laughed heartily. "The wine of this king is not something that ordinary people can drink! Boy, you're lucky!"

The aroma of the wine condensed and didn't disperse, gathering in the cup as if bound by something. Even from a distance, Lin Xing could tell that this wine was extraordinary just from his perspective in the culinary dao!

This was probably the most delicious wine he had ever seen!

"Good wine!" Lin Xing praised. Although he wasn't a wine lover, he was still very interested in top-quality wine. He took the wine cup and brought it to his lips.

"Gulp!"

The fine wine went down his throat.

It was cool, fiery, soft, and strong, changing, reversing, and rotating...

From just one cup of wine, he could taste so many changes!

In Lin Xing's mind, there even flashed some traces of Daoist arts!

Hardness and softness, water and fire, black and white, fast and slow... Even the changes of yin and yang!

"Good wine!"

Lin Xing finished the cup in one gulp and praised again loudly!

As expected, this man was not simple! He had actually integrated Daoist arts into the wine!

But why were there so many powerful people these days?

"Both of you are strange! One hides the wine in his sleeve, and the other makes random comments before even drinking..." Bi Yao whispered beside them. The blush on her face still hadn't faded.
