One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Chapter 185 How could I be left out of such fine wine? A mysterious guest!

Hong Bin, familiar with the place, took out two large wine jars from the outer area of the Sacred Flame Hall, and hurriedly returned to the fire pit, carrying them in his arms.

Surrounded by flames and his entire body glowing red, he quickly jumped back into the sacred fire pool while the old man wasn't looking.

"Master has returned to see you, just this one special case."

I will never use any secret techniques to serve wine again!

The old man's beard fluttered with anger as he watched the figure gradually disappear into the fire pit, feeling extremely annoyed.

"This kid is really a mess, just like Senior Brother Fengping back then, he's a real headache!"

We should really get to know this Ma Long. He's got Hong Bin all under his thumb, so he must be no ordinary person.

Wait a minute~ that wine jar the kid is carrying looks so familiar! Could it be...?

"Damn! My old cellar!"

……

The villagers of Biyou Village waited quietly for Hong Bin.

Ma Long picked up the skewers on the table and continued eating. Just as he was about to finish, he suddenly noticed something unusual about the fire.

The once stable flames began to leap up in a whimsical manner, gradually revealing a fiery shadow.

Following the firelight, everyone saw a red-clad boy slowly emerge from the fire, carrying a large wine jar in each hand.

"Hehehe, Young Master Long, everyone!"

I'm back! How fast did that go?

In that short time, I went back to Sichuan, had a bowl of tea, and incidentally stole two jars of my master's hidden wine.

Hong Bin stepped out of the fire, looking radiant, and placed the wine jar on the table.

As he approached, the surrounding flames gradually returned to normal.

Hong Bin gripped the stopper on the wine jar with his five fingers, twisted his wrist forcefully, and opened the jar of wine.

Mmm! It smells good!

"It's my master's prized possession; he usually wouldn't dare drink it!"

A rich aroma of wine followed, filling the air, and Ma Long and the others looked over with delight.

"Hmm! It smells so good!"

"Hehe, of course!"

Hong Bin held the wine jar and gently shook it, releasing even more aroma.

Seeing that there were no cups or saucers here, Ma Xianhong got up to fetch some.

"Wow! What a strong aroma of wine!"

"How could I be left out when there's such good wine?"

Just as Ma Xianhong stood up, a loud voice rang out, clear though it was far away.

Ma Long looked around, but he couldn't figure out who made the sound. He turned to look at Feng Baobao.

Feng Baobao understood immediately, raised her arm and pointed to the dense forest on the left with the iron skewer in her hand: "Look!"

He was perched on the third branch of that big tree, and like Hong Bin, he was also craving it.

I've been swallowing my saliva for so long, and now I can't hold it in anymore.

After Feng Baobao finished speaking, everyone smiled.

They all turned to look at the distant tree branches.

Although the distance was not close, everyone present was no ordinary person. With Feng Baobao pointing out the direction, they could all see the disheveled state of the person on the tree branch.

Ma Long looked at the tree branch with a smile, tried his best to open his eyes, bit his lip, and laughed as politely as possible.

The young man, who had been peeking at the crowd from a tree branch, lost all his pleasant feeling.

The illusion of being naked and being stared at made his scalp tingle.

'Ugh~ Damn!'

I really overdid it; wouldn't it have been better to just go directly?

Trying to act all high and mighty, damn it!

That's bad, they have an expert who spotted me a long time ago.

Sigh! I've become a clown.

Hong Bin didn't care about any of that; he was already laughing so hard he was doubled over.

"Hahaha!

Hey! Come here right now!

Your entrance was even less impressive than mine!

Embarrassed by what was said, the man blushed, coughed lightly, and slowly climbed up from the tree branch.

"cough!"

A thin layer of Qi faintly appeared around him, and suddenly his figure blurred.

Almost simultaneously, his figure appeared before everyone, teleporting nearly several hundred meters.

Hong Bin, who was still laughing, immediately shut his mouth and widened his eyes: "Holy crap!"

This guy is someone important!

Teleportation? I've never heard of anyone in the martial arts world with that kind of ability!

Another expert has emerged, hasn't he? I'm so careless; I mustn't offend them.

Ma Xianhong, Wang Ye, Zhang Lingyu, and the others all leaned back tactically, remaining outwardly calm, but inwardly they were already stunned by this teleportation technique.

Malone's squinted eyes gradually opened as he carefully examined the newcomer.

A middle-aged man around thirty years old, with a dignified appearance, a slender build, and a handsome and imposing face.

Malone thought to himself: 'Damn it!'

Shallow waters teem with turtles, and big shots are everywhere!

Who is this?

Teleportation is truly rare. Even my Eight-Element Movement technique can't match such a distance, and the person seems to be doing it with great ease!

Is it related to Lao Gu? Not really.

You should ask Shanshan when you have time; she's unpredictable, so it's best to be careful.

Seeing the reaction of Ma Long and the others, the newcomer was quite satisfied: 'Haha!'

Shocked, aren't you? I finally got my revenge.

With our teleportation ability, we can suppress anyone, no matter where we are.

Hey! Why aren't these two girls reacting?

He was puzzled, his eyes constantly glancing at the composed Feng Baobao and Chen Duo.

Because Ma Long couldn't discern the man's true nature, he didn't dare to treat Hong Bin as easily as he had. He slowly stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.

"friend!

"Greetings, Lord Ma Long of the Salvation Palace!"

Upon seeing Ma Long bow, the man immediately snapped out of his daze, calmed himself for a moment, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ma Long, and said, "Young Master Long's name is renowned far and wide!"

I am a free spirit, an eccentric individual, and my name is Zhao Chenhong!

It's the "Chen" of the dragon, not the "Chen" of morning!

Malone nodded: "Screw your idle eccentricity!"

With tactics like this, trying to intimidate me right off the bat—you think you're just some ordinary junior?

"Hahaha! Brother Zhao! Brother Hong!"

Nice to meet you!

Zhao Chenhong waved his hand and looked at everyone: "Call me whatever you like, Young Master Long."

Could you introduce these friends to me?

He focused his attention on Chen Duo and Feng Baobao, two girls he couldn't quite figure out.

Ma Long turned to look at Feng Baobao, and the two seemed to understand each other perfectly.

Feng Baobao looked up: "It's nothing!"

This person's energy flow is somewhat eccentric, but their nature is not bad; they harbor no ill intentions!

Ma Long was relieved, but Zhao Chenhong was shocked: "Could it be the Qi Observation Technique?"

I once heard my master say that the old Taoist priest Fang Dongtian of Baiyun Temple had to cultivate diligently for many years before he made progress.

How could such a young girl learn this skill?

This trip was definitely worthwhile; there are truly hidden talents among Malone's entourage!

Zhao Chenhong forced himself to remain calm, approached Feng Baobao, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "I've truly met a master today!"

Young lady, you are very capable. May I ask your name?

Can I add you on WeChat?

"My name is Feng Baobao, but I lost my phone and can't add you!"

"Uh... I lost my phone?"

Well, who knows, maybe some petty thief stole it!

I hate thieves more than anything in my life!

Zhao Chenhong stamped his foot and gave up.

Hong Bin, holding a wine jar, spoke up: "Brother Zhao!"

From what you just said, it seems you've smelled the aroma of my fine wine!
