Chapter 612 Luo Ya
"Gentlemen, I am Luo Ya. I would like to invite you to drink a pot of Luo family's special wine. What do you say?"
Luo Ya floated down from the sky and landed in front of Ye Nanxiao and Elder Xuan.
Ye Nanxiao turned to look at Elder Xuan. It was clear that the other party had not come to ask him for a drink, but rather to take this opportunity to invite Elder Xuan.
Elder Xuan reached out and patted Ye Nanxiao, saying, "It's been so many years since I've tasted the Luo family's fine wine. Let's see how it compares to your cooking."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ya gave Ye Nanxiao a meaningful look, bowed slightly, and gestured, "Elder Xuan, this way please, Master."
At this moment, some waves were already stirring in his heart. This master of Yuheng Tower seemed to be no ordinary person, as he was treated with such courtesy by Elder Xuan.
"It seems that this Jade Balance Tower is quite extraordinary," Luo Ya thought to himself.
In his view, Elder Xuan was a figure of great stature, an important member of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, and also the world-renowned Taotie Douluo. There were very few people who could catch his eye.
Even Luo Ya was just a nobody who had received guidance from Elder Xuan.
Moreover, Ye Nanxiao is a businessman.
"Young Brother Xu Lai, I am a bit older, so I will call you young brother. Are you from the Sun Moon Empire?" Luo Ya asked, pretending to be taking a walk.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly. "I am not a member of the Sun Moon Empire. Strictly speaking, I am a member of the Heavenly Soul Empire."
She had already married Nan Nan, so she belonged to Nan Nan and was considered half a member of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Luo Ya was slightly startled. The Heavenly Soul Empire had always resisted soul tools, and a native of the Heavenly Soul Empire should not have such a high level of skill in soul tools.
"Could it be that this kid is deliberately trying to get close to me?" Luo Ya thought for the first time, but he quickly dismissed the idea. The other party's relationship with Elder Xuan was obviously not ordinary, so there was no need for him to try to curry favor with him.
After navigating several quaint corridors, Luo Ya led Ye Nanxiao and Elder Xuan to a slightly old courtyard with only an old peach tree and a small stone table.
Luo Ya rolled up his sleeves, walked to the peach tree, and unleashed two bursts of soul power.
Suddenly, a vine surged up from the ground beneath the peach tree, pushing the ground open and revealing a small space inside.
Ye Nanxiao glanced around and saw dozens of jars of wine neatly arranged in that small space.
Elder Xuan took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and said, "Your wine is quite old. You only gave me a few jars back then."
"The finest wines, aged over time, will only become increasingly rare, so I must cherish them!" Luo Ya said with a smile.
"However, I don't intend to keep these wines today."
Luo Ya smiled and looked at Elder Xuan. Today, Taotie Douluo came to the courtyard. Can this wine even fill Taotie Douluo's teeth?
"Hmph, you do know my character well!" Elder Xuan laughed loudly, waved his hand and unleashed a burst of energy that swept up all the wine jars.
"Bang bang bang~"
The sound of wine jars hitting the ground was like a musical performance.
Luo Ya personally picked up a jar of wine and handed it to Elder Xuan, then used his soul power to pass another jar to Ye Nanxiao. "This student dares to challenge Elder Xuan once again! The memory of that drunken night decades ago still fills me with deep resentment!"
"Good lad! You've got guts!" Old Xuan shouted excitedly, tossing the wine jar in his hand into the air and kicking up another jar of wine.
The two jars of wine tilted down in the air, like a waterfall of moonlight, and were swallowed by Elder Xuan.
Luo Ya was not to be outdone, and with both hands, he picked up a jar of wine and started drinking.
Ye Nanxiao held a wine jar larger than his own pectoral muscles, his lips twitching slightly as he looked at the two old men in front of him.
Shouldn't I also make a bold move?
Young people shouldn't be outdone by older people, so they should drink three jars at once.
The strong aroma of wine lingered in my nostrils, like a beautiful woman teasing me with her inner silk.
As Elder Xuan gulped down his wine, he didn't forget to glance at Ye Nanxiao, his eyes seeming to say, "You kid, are you no good?"
"Kvass! Drink!" Ye Nanxiao couldn't stand Elder Xuan's sarcastic tone the most.
Besides, I am the ultimate ice!
What ice-attribute Soul Master would get drunk?
Can't you secretly freeze the alcohol when you're drunk?
Ye Nanxiao comforted himself, picked up the wine jar, tilted his head back, and gulped it down.
The courtyard was very quiet, with only the sound of "ton ton ton".
He gulped down the jar of wine like a cow, and it was empty in no time.
Just as Ye Nanxiao saw the bottom of the wine jar, the hairs on the back of his neck suddenly stood on end. He keenly sensed that something was wrong!
A surge of soul power struck Ye Nanxiao's waist and dantian, locking the flow of his soul power and rendering his limbs immobile.
"Holy crap!"
Elder Xuan gave Ye Nanxiao a thumbs up, then casually picked up a new jar of wine and poured it into Ye Nanxiao's mouth.
"?"
Luo Ya, who was halfway through drinking, watched as Elder Xuan excitedly held up two jars of wine and poured them into the boy's mouth like he was pouring grain and oil, while also letting out a "hehehe" laugh.
"If it weren't for the ultimate ice, could you really claim to be able to drink a thousand jars without getting drunk? Today, I'll show you what it's like!"
Old Master Xuan was so happy that he ran around carrying wine jars, forgetting even to use his soul power.
Unable to move, Ye Nanxiao could only express his grief and indignation through his eyes.
"That old bastard is wicked! But luckily, I've evolved! You think your strength can get me drunk? Who do you think you are?"
"Oh ho, you're still not convinced, huh?" Elder Xuan glanced at Ye Nanxiao's salty eyes and immediately understood what Ye Nanxiao was thinking.
Spitting on his palms, Elder Xuan rubbed his hands together, untied the small wine gourd from his waist, then reached into his robes, rummaged around for a while, and pulled out a palm-sized blue and white ceramic wine bottle.
"The exquisite wine that Elder Mu gifted to me back then—today, either you'll be counting pieces of wood or I'll have my name written backwards!"
The bottle of exquisite wine in his hand was a rare find that Old Master Mu had acquired at great expense during his travels in his youth. He wouldn't have gotten it if Old Master Mu hadn't relentlessly pursued him.
"Good wine is here!"
With a smile, Elder Xuan poured half of the wine from the bottle into Ye Nanxiao's mouth.
The latest novel is first published here!
As soon as the liquor entered his mouth, Ye Nanxiao felt as if his tongue had left him, a strong burning sensation accompanied by the effects of intoxication rushing to his head.
After the infusion was completed, Elder Xuan patted Ye Nanxiao's dantian and released Ye Nanxiao's seal.
Ye Nanxiao swung his arm, glanced at Elder Xuan disdainfully, and sneered, "That's it?"
"Elder Xuan, you think you can fool me into thinking I'm drunk by conjuring five or six afterimages with your soul power? You underestimate me!"
"Alright, that's all. Let's drink slowly." Elder Xuan casually tossed Ye Nanxiao onto a three-pronged branch of a peach tree in the courtyard.
Having witnessed all of this, Luo Ya's lips twitched violently. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Elder Xuan, you still retain a childlike heart! It's just that this student's mindset and cultivation are lacking!"
"Alright, I know what you want to ask, kid. Considering our past connection, I'll tell you: working for him won't hurt you."
Thinking of Ye Nanxiao's various outrageous actions, Elder Xuan added, "If your heart is strong enough."
Luo Ya is an old-fashioned and stubborn person. If he knew that Ye Nanxiao had done some great things, he would probably regret not keeping an eye on Luo Xinyao.
Luo Ya scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly, his tone like that of a child admitting his mistake. "Elder Xuan, I did indeed focus on seclusion a few years ago, forcibly pushing my cultivation level, but I failed in the end. I happened to meet my dear granddaughter Yao Yao, and with Yao Yao's company over the years, I've come to understand many things."
"You've come to terms with it? That's true to some extent. For an old relic like you to be willing to get involved with soul tools shows that your thinking has indeed improved quite a bit. Although soul masters have dominated the continent for several eras, soul tools are ultimately a result of the progress brought about by the general trend of the times." Elder Xuan looked at the rising sun in the distance.
Soul tools are like the rising sun, shining upon the continent of soul masters.
"Technological progress is inevitable; those who cannot keep up are destined to become dust of the past."
Finally, Elder Xuan uttered a phrase that Ye Nanxiao had once said to him, and then dragged Ye Nanxiao away from Luo Ya's courtyard.
Luo Ya sat quietly at the small stone table, lost in thought for a long time. Finally, he shrugged and said, "Whatever. I'm not the one in charge of the Luo family anymore. I don't care. My children and grandchildren will have their own ideas."
This old man, who once led the Luo family through the chaotic times, has now let go of his grudges.
"Starting today, the Luo family will allocate 50% of its revenue to completely renovate the factories in the southern district. All the original construction equipment will be converted into laboratories to research and manufacture soul tools. We cannot rely solely on imported soul tools; the Luo family must also make a name for itself."
"No matter how long it takes, whether it's ten or twenty years, as long as we're on the road, the Luo family will never fall too far behind."
Luo Xinyao sat in the main seat and issued orders to the family elders and hall masters.
The elders of the Luo family listened quietly to Luo Xinyao's orders. Except for those who supported Luo Qian's faction, the rest accepted the orders.
The Luo Qian faction was very reluctant to obey Luo Xinyao, but unfortunately, the Luo Ya ancestor was brewing tea for Luo Xinyao. If they dared to disobey, a human-shaped indentation exactly like their own would appear on the artificial hill outside the courtyard.
"Elder Luo Yi, I'm entrusting the matter of negotiating with Tian Dou City to you," Luo Xinyao said to an old woman to her lower right.
"Luo Yi obeys." The old woman Luo Yi bowed slightly, then turned and fled.
The Luo family members sprang into action, a scene that looked extremely familiar to Elder Xuan and Ye Nanxiao.
"Wasn't this the same thing you did when you were deceiving the Ye family?" Elder Xuan asked.
Ye Nanxiao, looking utterly exhausted, squatted against the wall and said weakly, "Families, families, the world has no shortage of families. Whether it's this one or that one, aren't they all the same? It's nothing surprising."
"What kind of visionary ideas do you have, kid? Tell me quickly and let this old man see for himself." Elder Xuan slapped Ye Nanxiao on the back, knocking him off the wall.
"Can't you be a little gentler, you old drunkard?"
