Inside a tavern outside Luoyang city.

"Waiter, bring me a jar of fine Daughter's Red wine, a pound of beef, and a few side dishes to go with the wine."

A person dressed in black, wearing a black veil and a bamboo hat, and carrying a short sword walked in and took a few big steps to sit down at a window seat in the tavern.

"Alright, sir, please have a cup of tea first. The food and drinks will be ready shortly!"

The waiter warmly poured tea for the man in the straw hat.

The tavern was quite crowded. Luoyang was a major martial arts city, and there were many people from the martial arts world coming and going. At this time, the tavern was almost full. Most of the people sitting around the tables were dressed in martial arts attire and carried weapons such as swords. They were obviously people from the martial arts world.

Sikong Jin glanced around and found that they seemed to be from several different factions, probably heading to Luoyang City. However, they were all sitting and drinking in the tavern, seemingly waiting for people from the city to come and meet them.

A short while later, the waiter brought out the wine and dishes.

Sikong Jin took a bowl, poured more than half a bowl of water, drank a few mouthfuls, and then stuffed a large piece of beef into her mouth. She had been abstaining from certain foods for many days, and she was really feeling suffocated. Now that she could finally indulge herself, she naturally couldn't miss such a good opportunity.

She had just drunk half a bowl of wine when a cool breeze suddenly swept in through the window, bringing a faint dampness. The beautiful face beneath the bamboo hat froze for a moment, her delicate brows furrowing as she turned to look out the window. She then noticed that the sky was as black as ink, with faint, shimmering lights drifting down from the night sky. The whistling wind and the pattering rain filled her ears.

It's raining?

The sound of those people cursing and swearing came from behind.

"This darn weather! It started raining just like that!"

"Why haven't they arrived yet? It's raining, so it's difficult to get into the city!"

"Damn it, those people from Luoyanlou are so arrogant, making us wait for so long! If it weren't for my master's sake, I wouldn't have bothered coming here!"

"Tianwenzi has gathered so many experts, this time she is definitely going to destroy Luoyanlou. I wonder if the people of Fengyunlou will get involved. If the people of Fengyunlou make a move, I advise us to stand by and watch. I heard that Tianwenzi has always had a relationship with Fengyunlou, so it is hard to guarantee that she will not come after the people of Fengyunlou."

……

Their conversation reached Sikong Jin's ears word for word, and when she heard the words "Tianwenzi," her eyes immediately lit up—

Yuan Yun!

Jianghu Tianwen Ziyuan Yun!

How could she forget her?

Back when we were on the northwestern border, Yuan Yun was being chased by people from Luoyanlou. I remember she even boasted that when she returned to Luoyang, she would definitely destroy Luoyanlou. I never imagined that all of this would actually happen.

She is vengeful, which is somewhat similar to her personality.

Is Luoyang a city of decadent indulgence and debauchery?

Perhaps she should go over and ask her for a drink.

Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Sikong Jin's lips, and she poured herself another half bowl of wine...

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was also strong, blowing large swaths of rain into the shop. The shopkeeper had no choice but to instruct the waiter to close the door.

The table in front of Sikong Jin was covered with a dense layer of raindrops, but this did not affect her mood. After downing three bowls of wine, she picked up her chopsticks, intending to eat a few bites of food—

'Bah! '

A loud bang was heard, and Sikong Jin felt a damp, cool breeze suddenly rush in. She was startled and subconsciously turned her head to look at the door. Everyone else also looked towards the door as a first reaction, while gripping their swords tightly in vigilance.

A person dressed in a black cloak slowly walked in. The cloaked person was slightly damp, and his tall figure was somewhat thin. He lowered his head, and his face was hidden under the cloak's hood, so no one could see his appearance. A small black ferret with purple eyes was perched on his shoulder.

He stood at the door, raised his cold and indifferent eyes, glanced indifferently at the shop, and finally fixed his gaze on the man in black clothes and a bamboo hat by the window.

Emperor Beizun?

Why is he here?

Sikong Jin paused, looking at the cloaked figure approaching her with some surprise. The sable perched on her shoulder let out a few excited howls upon seeing Sikong Jin, then quickly leaped off Di Beizun's shoulder and dashed towards Sikong Jin. However, its target was the plate of fragrant beef in front of Sikong Jin!

Noticing Sikong Jin's gaze, Di Beizun merely glanced at her coldly, silently sat down opposite her, picked up another empty bowl beside him, poured himself some wine, and drank it casually without even looking at her.

Sikong Jin shrugged, then said to the waiter who was still standing there dumbfounded, "Waiter, another set of bowls and chopsticks, a jar of Daughter's Red wine, and three catties of beef, hurry up!"

"Okay...okay! Coming right away, coming right away!"

The waiter and the others only then realized that the black-cloaked man who had just walked in had an extremely powerful aura. When he entered the room, an indescribable suppressive force suddenly appeared in the air, causing them to tremble involuntarily and become more vigilant, keeping their eyes fixed on the cloaked man.

However, a moment later, their gazes suddenly fell on the little ferret squatting by the table eating beef.

"Purple-Eyed Divine Sable!"

Someone who knew its value exclaimed in surprise!

"What?! The Purple-Eyed Divine Sable!"

"Really! I never expected to encounter such a divine beast here..."

"Haha, I've struck it lucky this time! I'm rich!"

The gasp of surprise was followed by a collective gasp of cold air...

As if it could understand the discussion, the sable, who was struggling with its food, suddenly raised its head, glanced around, and let out a howl, revealing its cold and sharp fangs, which startled everyone.

The reactions of the crowd did not attract the attention of the two people sitting opposite each other.

"How did you come?"

Sikong Jin raised her hand to pour wine for Di Beizun, looking at him with a rare glimmer of light in her eyes, and her tone softened.

Di Beizun suddenly looked up, his deep eyes seeming to hold countless silent stars, shimmering with a faint, cool light, but his tone was very cold, "I want to see how a fool does a foolish thing."

'Ahem! '

Sikong Jin was taken aback by his words.

He coughed violently a few times before he could barely steady his breathing.

This man has a really sharp tongue!

"So, you're planning to lend a hand?"

Sikong Jin raised her delicate eyebrows slightly beneath her black veil and asked tentatively.

Di Beizun did not answer, but coldly withdrew his sharp and chilling gaze, lowered his head and silently drank his wine.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I won't go head-to-head with them. Tonight, I'll take you to play an exciting game. I'm sure you'll find it very enjoyable."

Sikong Jin smiled mysteriously as she put food into Di Beizun's bowl. Di Beizun narrowed his eyes at her, but a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing his expression, Sikong Jin was naturally displeased. Just as she was about to say something more, she suddenly felt a flash of silver light beside her. She immediately turned her head and saw that everyone in the shop was holding weapons and staring at Diao Ye with greedy eyes.
