Chapter Twelve: After the Drunken Madness

  Three days later.

  He woke up in a daze, feeling only that his head was splitting with pain. He slowly sat up, holding his head in both hands, and looked around to find himself lying under the crude stone monument. Five people were scattered around him, lying horizontally and vertically. Man Tian glanced at the five people, hesitated for a moment, and vaguely remembered something, standing there in a daze.

  Man Tian's memory was very vague, only remembering a few fragments. These fragments were about drinking with the five people and enduring Li Jian's attack... afterwards he went to Pan Nie Peak... it seemed like he also saw several beautiful women, but Man Tian couldn't remember what happened after that.

  Thinking of this, Man Tian hurriedly took a look at the five people and found that their injuries were not serious. He then checked his own body and found that he had no internal injuries, but there were dozens of scars on his body!

  Just as Man Tian was trying to recall, the people lying down, including Tian Geng, slowly woke up. They opened their eyes, looked around, and then gazed at Man Tian with a smile on their faces. Tian Geng shook his head, looked at Man Tian, and revealed an "odd" smile, saying: "Man Shidi, I appreciate you more and more."

  Hao Teng sat on the ground, motionless for half a day, as if he had not yet sobered up from his drunken state. However, upon hearing Tian Ge's words, it was as if something had stirred within him. He suddenly lifted his head, and with a nose that was blue and swollen, he stared at Tian Ge with wide eyes, bursting into loud laughter: "Tian Shidi... I'm afraid that in the entire ancient sect, only you would dare to treat her like that."

  "Hmph... Brother Man, hehehe!" Wang Xingchen also came to and sat on the ground, smiling gloomily at Man Tian. With his bruised face, he looked quite comical!

  "Ah, Master Li... Ha ha!" Li Hong was about to say something but stopped himself and burst out laughing.

  Looking at the expressions of the five people, Man Tian was puzzled and asked hastily: "Five senior brothers, what exactly happened? After we went to Pan Nie Peak...what happened?" Although Man Tian couldn't remember what had happened, from the words of the five people, he inferred that something must have happened on Pan Nie Peak, which would explain why they were saying such things about him.

  "Haha! I suppose, Yu Ling's wife... no, not his wife, but rather Yu Ling's sister-in-law will be heartbroken." Huo Tong chuckled and looked at Man Tian with raised eyebrows.

  Man Tian was thoroughly stunned on the spot, but his heart skipped a beat. Although he was drunk at the time, Wang Xingchen had previously said that Yu Ling was one of the four great beauties of Nanjiang. Could it be that he had offended her while he was drunk? Thinking of this, Man Tian's mind suddenly went blank.

  "Haha! No big deal... no big deal, being young and reckless is normal, I believe Rain Teng will forgive you, Brother Tian." Tian Ge stood up, patted Tian Yan's shoulder and laughed.

  "Haha, Yu Ling is a heavenly immortal among the numerous disciples of Gu Zong. How dare you, my junior brother... I'm afraid that countless disciples of Gu Zong will be furious and want to bite you to death. But don't worry, as your senior brother, I'll help you take responsibility for everything!" Wang Cheng also burst out laughing.

  "Let's go back to the peak and prepare some things. After a few days, we'll send them over as betrothal gifts for your sister-in-law!" Li Hong stood up and said.

  Although they had only known each other for less than an hour, the bond formed over drinks was genuine. The wild personality suited the five people's characters!

  Man Tian and the five others entered the Zuo Feng's place, his mind still trying to recall what had happened at Pan Nie Peak. He tried hard, but Man Tian was still clueless. He asked, "Tian Shixiong, what exactly...happened at Pan Nie Peak?"

  "Haha... actually... I don't remember very clearly either, go ask your senior brother Wang!" Tian Ge laughed and passed the question to Wang Xingchen.

  Wang Xingchen's face changed a bit, and he smiled awkwardly, scratching his head, saying: "This... at the time... I was drunk, and I wasn't clear about anything. Ask your brother Huang, he drank the least, he should know."

  Hao Teng was taken aback, but he didn't expect Wang Xingchen to shift the question back to himself again. He glanced at Man Tian, chuckled foolishly and said: "At...at that time, I...we went to Pan Nie Peak?"

  After talking for half a day, the five of them were all laughing and hadn't explicitly stated anything, which made Man Tian even more puzzled. He wasn't afraid that he had offended someone, but rather, something had clearly happened, yet he wasn't clear about it, which made Man Tian feel somewhat uneasy. However, judging from the way the five people were chatting and laughing, it shouldn't be a big deal, so Man Tian also suppressed the matter.

  "Barbarian junior brother, look... Mount Qian is so big, where do you think you'll live? Except for the peak of Mount Qian where the master cultivates, anywhere else is fine by me!" Tian Gang looked at Man Tian's appearance and quickly changed the subject.

  In the vast ancient sect, probably only Zhe Feng and a few other disciples of his peak have the qualification to choose their own residence, while the rest are arranged. Many disciples spend their entire lives without setting foot on the mountain waist of various peaks.

  "Whatever! As long as it's a quiet place, that's all I need. Besides, I'm a blacksmith, and I'll often disturb the cultivation of my fellow disciples anyway!" said Man Tian Dao.

  "Alright! There's a place on the waist of Zhefeng Mountain, where the spiritual energy is abundant. It was once the quiet retreat of one of my fellow cultivators from the same sect as mine. You can cultivate there too!" Wang Xingchen looked upwards and said.

  Man Tian nodded slightly.

  Zhuō Fēng, in the past was also prosperous, along the way can be seen everywhere ancient and fragrant pavilions and courtyards. In the past, many disciples competed openly and secretly for cultivation, but today they are all abandoned. The entire Zhuō Fēng Avenue is deserted, with no one passing by. Finally, when the five of them stepped onto the mountain waist, Tiān Gāng pointed to a small courtyard surrounded by a group of trees: "This is it, Mán Shīdì, you will live here from now on! Hehe, this is our cultivation place, and in the future, if there's anything, it's convenient to contact each other!"

  Tian Gang pointed to several buildings at the other end, he knew that the trouble of going to Pan Nie Peak would make his future life not very peaceful.

  "You go familiarize yourself with the environment first, we five will prepare some things that you can take out and use, so when we go to Penglai Peak, we won't lose face in front of Chu Feng! Hehe!" Wang Xingchen chuckled and patted Hao Tian's shoulder, and before Man Tian could say anything, the five of them left with sly smiles.

  Watching the five people leave, Man Tian was stunned, but his heart felt exceptionally warm and grateful. Although they had only known each other for three days, it felt like he had known them for three years!

  After waking up this time, Man Tian only felt refreshed all over, and the negative emotions that had been accumulated over the years also disappeared. The feeling of having no psychological burden made Man Tian feel refreshed and clear-headed. Perhaps, as the five people said, drinking wine is not necessarily a waste of time, perhaps it is also a way to cultivate oneself, a way to cultivate one's heart.

  With a mind full of doubts, Man Tian arrived at the small courtyard pointed out by Tian Ge. The environment of this small courtyard was extremely elegant and quiet, with mountains and forests on all sides, and only one small path leading to the courtyard.

  Because of the long time uninhabited, the small courtyard was full of rotten leaves, and walking on it, the rustling sound echoed endlessly.

  In the small courtyard, the iron tools were placed at one end of the courtyard. Because no one had swept for a long time, the iron tools were covered with leaves. Then, Wanjian found a broom and started sweeping the small courtyard.

  An hour later, the small courtyard was completely new, but due to being invaded by rotten leaves for a long time, a stench could not be eliminated instantly! Looking at the small courtyard that would accompany him through the years, Man Tian took a deep breath. The environment here was first-rate, but the abundant spiritual energy lingering in the air made Man Tian's pores stand on end, and he couldn't help but frantically absorb it.

  Sitting cross-legged in the small courtyard, Man Tian closed his eyes and meditated. The gains from this time's drunkenness left Man Tian bewildered. He discovered that his physical body had become even stronger, and his cultivation was about to break through to the sixth rank of Quenching Body. More importantly, there were changes in Man Tian's state of mind.

  If it were before, Man Tian came to Gu Zong with pressure and burden, but at this time, Man Tian's heart only had his own ambitions, and all the other pressures were swept away. This wasn't that Man Tian forgot, but rather, after Man Tian released his pressure, he knew even better how to improve his own strength.

  Calming his mind, a dense pattern of "Zen" lines appeared in Mo Tian's brain, and as he thought about the feelings he had received from the sect, Mo Tian slowly sank into it.

  It was unclear how much time had passed when Tianye was woken up by several angry roars.

  "Get out of here, you savage!"

  Mantian's eyes widened in surprise, wondering if Li Jian and the others had found him again. But the next sentence made Mantian's jaw drop, leaving him stunned on the spot.

  "This is outrageous, he deserves to be sliced into a thousand pieces and his body torn apart by five horses, how dare he force himself on Yu Lian Xianzi in front of several disciples..." A faint voice came from afar.

  PS: Drunk and crazy, what have you done after drinking? Hehe... Hanshi is worried about the 5.5 subscription after drinking, those who can support Hanshi at that time, just because of the boldness to knock down the rain umbrella after drinking, hehe.
