They're all coveting my wine!

Xuanyuan Ao's mind went blank, and he could only instinctively look at Li Bai who was close at hand.

He didn't speak, Li Bai moved closer.

The two were already standing close to each other, but when he approached, they were almost face to face, and even the tips of their noses were almost touching.This made Xuanyuan Ao even more difficult to breathe, and Li Bai took away all the air.

Staring at Xuanyuan Ao, after about a minute, Li Bai stepped back. He retracted the finger that was on Xuanyuan Ao's chest and patted his chest.

After doing this, Li Bai turned around and walked away without hesitation.

Li Bai walked away suddenly, Xuanyuan Ao felt the lingering warmth in his chest and the beating heartbeat under his chest, and he couldn't calm down his disordered breathing for a long time.

Li Bai walked away, within two steps, he turned back to his previous appearance, a little puffed up, his cheeks were puffed up, and he was a little fierce.

Xuanyuan Ao stared at Li Bo blankly, until he left Li Bo after eating, walked through the forest and returned to the palace, he still couldn't recover.

Even lying on the bed at night, when Xuanyuan Ao opened and closed his eyes, his mind was still full of Li Bai and what he said at that time.

Lying on the bed, Xuanyuan Ao lifted the quilt and put his hand on the place where Li Bai poked his chest.

There seemed to be some pain in that place, but he didn't feel it when he touched it, as if the pain was just his illusion.

Feeling the unreal pain, Xuanyuan Ao couldn't help thinking about what Li Bai said, didn't he have anything important in his heart?

He had never been asked this question before, and he had never thought about it.Probably because this question is a very strange question to him.

After all, he is the emperor, an emperor who can cover the sky with one hand and have whatever he wants!

He has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, with outstanding talents, and even more promising when he was young, his limelight far surpassed that of other princes.

After successfully ascending the throne, he managed the entire Xuanyuan Empire to be prosperous and peaceful by virtue of his cold-blooded and tough methods. Although he may not be called a virtuous monarch, at least he can leave his name in history.

How could such an emperor, in the eyes of outsiders, have nothing in his heart?

But facing this problem, Xuanyuan Ao clutched his chest and thought for a long time, but he really didn't think of something that was really important to him.

Is the throne important to him?

Perhaps to outsiders, this throne is a good thing to touch even if you fight for blood and family, but for him, he has long been bored and tired.

Those powers, statuses, and intrigues have long annoyed him.

Even the jade seal, which represents the identity of the emperor, to him is just like a brush, like the paper under the brush, the kind that can be thrown away when it is worn out, and he won't even take a second look at it tool.

At the beginning, he sent Yuxi away, but then he had the cheek to ask for it back, not because of how important Yuxi was to him, but simply because he would use this tool.

If the jade seal is like this, let alone those gold and silver treasures, those things are just some beautiful stones to him.

After thinking about it, Xuanyuan Ao couldn't help laughing out loud when he realized that there was really nothing in his heart.

Xuanyuan Ao fell asleep on the bed and suddenly laughed. The chief eunuch beside Hou heard the somewhat crazy laughter. His face was blue, white, and purple, which was wonderful.

Their emperor must have really been bewitched!

Xuanyuan Ao lay on the bed laughing loudly. In Li Bai's tavern, he looked at the box that Xuanyuan Ao forgot to take away, stared at the beautiful black and white eyes, and hugged it back to the space a little angrily.

After entering the space, Li Bai put it in a corner that he didn't usually go to, feeling so disgusted with it.

Seeing Xuanyuan Ao again, vented a bit, and returned to the space, Li Bai's mood has actually improved a lot.

He had seen that goose egg before. It is not an exaggeration to say that such a big jade is invaluable, but it is a pity that it is of no use to him.

As long as he is still locked up here and unable to go anywhere, even giving him gold and silver will only increase his troubles and make him look more uncomfortable.

Instead of thinking about the goose egg, Li Bai let himself focus on the task of unlocking the gift bag.

He had already unlocked the fourth-level gift pack before, and he will unlock the fifth-level gift pack next. It is not difficult to meet the conditions for the fifth-level gift pack. He has already completed more than half of it, and only the last one is left. He needs a new customer.

For the next few days, Li Bai stared at the task in a daze every day, waiting patiently.

It was just as if he wanted to oppose him, there was no movement in his store for the next few days, not to mention new customers, even Xuanyuan Ao and his old customers did not come.

Just when Li Bai was getting a little anxious, that strange feeling finally came.Accompanied by the system's prompt, Li Bai couldn't wait to leave the space.

This time, he ushered in new customers, and this time the new customers were different from the previous ones. This time the customers were not one, but two, and they were a pair of brothers.

The two brothers are not very old, the older one may only be fourteen/five or six, and the younger one is only six or seven years old.

The clothes they were wearing were a bit worn out, and their expressions were hurried and dusty, and both of them had ugly complexions, and they were very thin. They looked like they were begging for food.

Both of them were in a bit of a mess, but it could be seen that they had tried their best to tidy themselves up, at least their clothes had been washed and tidied up.

Facing such two people, Li Bai couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

Looking at Li Bai, the two brothers who somehow got here were obviously also a little apprehensive.

After a while, seeing that Li Bai didn't show any displeasure, the older one said nervously, "We escaped here, so I wonder if we can give some water."

When he was speaking, he protected his younger brother behind him, although his own body was also very thin and vulnerable.

Seeing his unconscious act of protecting the calf, Li Bai couldn't help laughing. Li Bai likes this kind of person.

"This shop has delicious sake and side dishes. Why don't you two come in and try it? It's super affordable!" Li Bai smiled sweetly.

He took a step aside, gave way to the door, and invited the two of them to enter.

"We..." The elder brother of the brothers showed embarrassment, "We have no money."

As he said this, his stomach grumbled uncontrollably, probably because he hadn't had a drop of water for too long, and even Li Bai heard the sound.

Hearing that voice, the older one blushed instantly, feeling ashamed.

Li Bai seemed to have never heard of it, and said with a smile: "This shop does not accept that kind of vulgar things."

Money is a good thing, but to him now, it is worthless at all.

Hearing this, the older boy swallowed, he really wanted to enter the shop, but he still hesitated.

"What our store needs are things that are important to you." Li Bai explained in a rare way.

Since these two people can come to him, it means that they are destined to be able to help a little, and Li Bai does not want to miss the opportunity to unlock the fifth-level gift bag.

"Important things?" The brother thought for a while.

He still hesitated, but it was probably because he was really hungry. After hesitating for a while, he led his younger brother into the store.

Seeing them enter the store, Li Bai realized that the little one guarded behind was already a little dizzy from hunger, and his face was pale.

Li Bai immediately picked up the menu for his own food and drink, and the two ordered, and Li Bai put the items on the table in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Li Bai conjuring something out of thin air, the two people who were still a little on guard relaxed at once. They probably felt that they were dreaming.

Since it was a dream, there was no need to be so vigilant.

After Li Bai put the things on the table, the two began to gobble them up.

The two of them ate anxiously and choked a little. Li Bai felt a little uncomfortable watching from the side, but unfortunately his store only sells alcohol, and the two people in front of them who haven't eaten for a long time are obviously not suitable for drinking.

"Can I give them some water?" Li Bai asked the system furtively.

"This is against the rules, only alcohol can be sold in taverns."

Li Bai thought for a while, went back to the space and filled a large jar of water, put the water on the table, Li Bai said: "This is for you."

Since it is a gift, it cannot be counted as a sale.

The system knew that Li Bai was taking advantage of loopholes, but it was rare for him to say anything. He chose to turn a blind eye.

With water, the two gobbled even more.

After a while, they stopped eating.

"Isn't this a dream?" asked the older one.

If it was a dream, he must have woken up long ago.

Li Bai smiled mysteriously, and answered irrelevantly, "Isn't the chef in this shop good at it?"

Knowing that he couldn't get an answer from Li Bai, the older one began to look for something 'important' for Li Bai in himself.

But at this time, his hands are empty, and there is nothing besides a begging bowl.

Seeing that his elder brother's ears were red and he looked embarrassed and ashamed, the little brother who had been sitting quietly beside him took out something wrapped in cloth from his arms.

"Is this okay?" The younger one carefully untied the cloth, revealing the old hairpin inside.

There was reluctance in his eyes, but he still put the things on the table.

"This—" Seeing that thing, my brother was a little anxious.

Seeing that thing, Li Bai immediately understood without the two of them saying that the hairpin was eight out of ten a relic left by their mothers.

"It doesn't need to be so expensive." Li Bai is not a fan of money, he knows that if he gets the hairpin, he will definitely be able to exchange tens of thousands of points for him, but he doesn't want it.

Li Bai swept over the two of them now, and finally landed on the bowl next to him. The bowl was missing a mouth, and he didn't know where it came from.

"Just keep this." Li Bai pointed to the bowl.

When the elder brother heard this, he felt a little embarrassed, Li Bai was almost like treating them to a free meal.

The two brothers hesitated for a while, seeing that Li Bai insisted that they really had nothing else, they finally thanked them gratefully and left together.

Li Bai was in a good mood after seeing the two of them off.He cleaned up the tavern, thought about it, and took the bowl into the space to exchange it.

He didn't hold out hope at first, after all, it was just a broken bowl, but who knew that the bowl exchanged more than 3000 points for him.

Looking at the more than 3000 points, Li Bai couldn't help but see the big word '2' again in his mind.

Xuanyuan Ao is worthy of the emperor, what he took out was not as good as a broken bowl in the hands of a fleeing man!

The identity of his younger brother is completely confirmed in Li Bai's heart.

Li Bai didn't spend too much time despising Xuanyuan Ao, the emperor. After exchanging the items, he couldn't wait to open the gift bag page, and his fifth-level gift bag had been unlocked.

The fifth-level gift bag is a small integer, and the gifts are slightly more than before.

In addition to unlocking the shop assistant's purchase qualification, he also gave him a chance to repair. In addition, he also gave him a free exchange opportunity for formulas within [-] points.

In other words, he still has a chance to get the brewing recipe for free.

Li Bai did not exchange the formula immediately, he first checked the relevant matters of the waiter in the shop.

As the system said before, Dian Xiaoer is more like an auxiliary tool, which can assist the host to perform some fixed tasks.

The shop boy can be upgraded. At the beginning, he can only perform a single task. For example, if you ask him to harvest wheat, he will only harvest the wheat, and will not sow any more seeds, nor will he harvest the rice next to him.

But if you upgrade, after reaching a certain level of wisdom, you can do more things, and you can also perform simple Unicom conversions by yourself, so you are no longer so brain-dead.

There are many explanations about Xiaoer Dian, but Li Bai only read the key parts.

The most important thing is that you need [-] points to buy a shop assistant.

Looking at the purchase conditions, Li Bai cut out to look at the points he currently has. He only has [-] points in total, which is far from [-].

Knowing that there was no hope in the short term, Li Bai had no choice but to think about the maintenance opportunity again.

Li Bai had already thought about the things to be repaired, and he unlocked a new table almost immediately.

He had already planned for a long time to increase the number of tables and stools in the store to unlock more seats for the reception.

After choosing to exchange, Li Bai couldn't wait to look at his new table immediately. Seeing the exchanged table, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

The newly exchanged table seemed to be falling apart, just looking at it made people worry whether it would fall down.

"system."

"The unlocking function is not controlled by the system." The system took the initiative to explain, trying to get rid of the fate of being scolded.

"You garbage system!" Li Bai said fiercely.

What's the difference between this table and nothing?

Li Bai stretched out his hand to poke it, and the table immediately wobbled, and one of the feet looked as if it was about to fall off.

Looking at the broken table, Li Bai instantly felt like a balloon that had been punctured and leaked air.

If the table can be used, it is estimated that he will have to repair it once. He originally planned to buy a stool next time. Now it seems that he does not know how long he will have to wait to get a new set of seats.

Thinking of this, Li Bai was a little bit shocked, and after a few more harsh words to the system, he went back to the space in a daze.

The only thing that made Li Bai feel better was that the five-level gift pack gave him a chance to get a free recipe, allowing him to add another new wine.

Lying on the grass in the space, Li Bai was thinking about which formula to exchange, when the strange feeling that had disappeared not long ago came again, and a guest came to his tavern.

After leaving the space, Li Bai waited for the lord dressed in red in no time.

He came stepping on the water, the crisp sound of the bell made Li Bai's mouth curl up, and his mood improved, "Here we come."

When the lord entered the tavern, he saw the broken table aside, no surprise in his eyes, no matter how strange things happened in Li Bai's place, it seemed normal.

"What do you want to drink today?" Li Bai asked with a smile.

"Orange wine, some steamed buns and peanuts."

Li Bai moved quickly, and the things were on the table almost instantly.

When the food was served on the table, the lord began to eat slowly.

The Lord moves gracefully, and watching him eat is also a pleasure.

Li Bai was watching from the side, looking at him, he couldn't help but think of Dongfang Qingchu.

He wanted to ask the Lord what was going on, but he didn't know whether he should ask. Obviously, this was not just a personal issue, but also related to Tianji Pavilion.

The Tianji Pavilion is notoriously mysterious, and probably the Lord would not tell him about the fact that the Tianji Pavilion is too private.

"What are you asking about Dongfang Qingchu?" The Lord had already noticed the curiosity that could not be concealed on Li Bai's face.

Although Li Bai was trying his best to endure it, it was clearly written in his eyes, and he was so curious.

"I just care a little bit." Li Bai tried his best to keep a sullen face, not forgetting his identity as the mysterious shopkeeper, but it's a pity that he, who completely turned into a curious baby, had his ears pricked up and betrayed him.

That appearance is completely saying tell me quickly, tell me quickly.

"It's not something that can't be said." The lord put down his wine glass.

His fingers were slender and straight, holding the milky white cup was so pleasing to the eye that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

This matter is something that cannot be said to outsiders, but not to Li Bai, who is special.

"Then why are you chasing and killing Dongfang Qingchu?" Li Bai had already forgotten his identity as the mysterious shop owner, and sat down on the opposite side of the stool, his eyes full of gossip.

Seeing Li Bai like this, His Holiness couldn't help laughing.Unlike the usual situation where he had a smile on his mouth but his eyes were full of alienation and indifference, there was more warmth in his eyes at this time.

"About 20 years ago, there was a well-known sect in the martial arts. That sect inherited a kind of swordsmanship called Yufengjian, and even dominated the martial arts for a period of time..."

The lord's voice is very nice, his voice is already good, with a bit of aloofness, and the speed of his speech is not rushed, Li Bai likes it very much.

"One night 20 years ago, all of this sect was killed overnight. There were nearly 300 members of the whole sect, including the subordinates, and all died tragically. Even the boy who was less than one year old under the head of the sect was killed. gone."

Hearing these words and thinking about that scene, Li Bai frowned.

"This matter has caused a lot of trouble, it is inevitable."

Hearing this, Li Bai looked at the lord suspiciously. These did not explain why Tianji Pavilion and Dongfang Qingchu became what they are now.

"After this incident happened, there were discussions everywhere in the Jianghu. Such a great sect, and there were many people with high martial arts skills in the sect, but they all died in one night without making a sound..."

Having said this, the Lord stopped and looked at Li Bai.

"Huh?" Li Bai still didn't understand.

"To be able to do this kind of thing and hide it from so many eyes and ears, there were only a very small number of forces at that time, and the Tianji Pavilion was the first among them." The lord smiled helplessly, Li Bai really didn't know anything about the affairs in the Jianghu .

Regarding Li Bai, the Lord has always been full of curiosity, the kind of curiosity that can't wait to scratch his heart and lungs.

Li Bai's tavern, Li Bai's person, and even the things related to Li Bai are full of inconceivable things. Even if Tianji Pavilion tried their best to search, they couldn't find any relevant news.

This is unprecedented for Tianji Pavilion, especially for the Lord.

"When I came to you, it happened to be the time when I chased Dongfang Qingchu into the forest." The Lord said, that's why he gave Dongfang Qingchu's name by the way.

After speaking, the Lord looked at Li Bai curiously.

After listening to the lord's words, Li Bai was suddenly enlightened, and he had already understood a little bit.

The fact that the lord came chasing after Dongfang Qingchu, Li Bai had guessed a little bit before, he suddenly realized that it was not this, but the matter of that sect.

Tianji Pavilion is probably not willing to be framed, so it has been investigating what happened back then.

Decades later, they finally found out the whereabouts of the cheat books, and they got them, but they were snatched by Dongfang Qingchu.

If it were him, he would definitely not be reconciled, and would definitely find a way to get it back.

After understanding the thoughts of the Lord, Li Bai was a little curious about Dongfang Qingchu again.

After Dongfang Qingchu got the secret book, he gave it to him. According to what the lord said, the secret book is really so important. Why did Dongfang Qingchu do such a thing again?

Li Bai tried to think about it, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a reason.

Dongfang Qingchu is not the kind of person who is just looking for trouble. He was only a few years old 20 years ago, and it is even more impossible to participate in what happened back then...

Li Bai's pitch-black eyeballs rolled rovingly, suddenly enlightened for a while, and pondered hard for a while.

Looking at his appearance, the arc of the corner of the Lord's mouth couldn't help but get bigger.Li Bai obviously knew something, but pretended not to know.

The lord picked up the wine on the table, took a sip, and continued to watch Li Bai's face change with interest.

"Are you familiar with Dongfang Qingchu?" After watching for a while, seeing that Li Bai seemed to have decided to give up thinking about it, the Venerable Lord asked a bit maliciously.

"He's teaching me basic martial arts." Li Bai tried his best to pretend he didn't understand.

Seeing Li Bai's flustered look, the Venerable Master became more and more malicious, "I thought you were very familiar, maybe he told you something."

"No." Li Bai hurriedly said with a pale face, Dongfang Qingchu didn't give him the cheat book, he didn't exchange the cheat book!

"Really?" The lord supported his side face with one hand, and gently turned the wine glass with the other hand.

He moved comfortably, and the milky white jade cup was gently shaking between his fingers.

The white and powdery fingertips that slid across the rim of the cup seemed to be sliding on the tip of someone's heart, making the tip of the heart itchy, but they didn't know where to scratch.

It is always strange for a man to have cinnabar between his eyebrows, but this is not the case with the Lord.His red dress and the spot of cinnabar on his forehead seemed to have been born for him.

Red clothes, cinnabar, fair skin, graceful neck, looming Adam's apple, all these plus the corner of the mouth that seems to be smiling, four.At this moment, the Venerable Lord is full of indescribable charm and evil spirit.

Seeing such a respected lord, being stared at by him with such eyes, Li Bai couldn't help but his ears turned red.

He moved and couldn't sit still, the eyes of the lord made his heart scorching hot.

"Really." Li Bai blinked his big eyes, very sincere.

Smiling lightly, the lord remained silent, Li Bai was already revealing his secrets so much that he could hardly cover it up.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, three parts drunk, seven parts smiling.

He never knew that he was such a wicked person, but in front of Li Bai, he couldn't help making fun of him.

The author has something to say:

Thanks to the little angel who threw the mines: Mian Sang returned 2 by changing her name to Crane;
