Everyone's eyes were met with a scene of chaos, the carpet in the living room was stained with wine, the tablecloth had been pulled off, a shoe lay beside the chair, next to which an old man lay drunk, clutching a wine jug and muttering something incomprehensible. Everyone was shocked - this was the majestic Third Pavilion?!
The attendant beside him awkwardly said: "Everyone, please wait a moment, I'll go and report to the master." Hong Mao nodded and said: "Thank you." Looking at the attendant's disappearing back, Ding Dang finally couldn't help but say: "Isn't this person...the three pavilions are too..." But before he could finish speaking, the old man on the ground suddenly sat up, startling everyone. The old man half-opened his eyes and said: "You little girl, how can you be so rude! I'm your elder!" Ding Dang hastily apologized, saying: "Sorry, but...you don't look like an elder at all!"
This remark was not dared to be spoken out loud, after all, in her consciousness, she indeed had a few points of respect for the old man. The old man stumbled and stood up, shaking his head and saying: "You don't know, I am the famous Drunken Immortal - Hong Yiqiu!" "Drunken... Immortal, you're just like that, still an immortal." The Drunken Immortal proudly said: "Of course, every time I drink wine, I feel light and airy, as if I'm flying, it's truly a wonderful feeling!" Just then, a voice came from outside the door: "Everyone has waited for a long time!" Everyone looked towards the door, and an old man in a long gown walked in, with an apologetic expression on his face, this was the master of the Three Tai Pavilion. The pavilion master glanced at the Drunken Immortal by the table, shook his head helplessly, turned to the person beside him and said: "Clean up here, take the Drunken Immortal back to sober up." "Yes."
A maid beside him respectfully replied, and together with several other maids, they carried the drunken immortal out. The immortal's mouth still kept saying: "Old friend, let's keep drinking, haha..." The voice faded further and further away until it disappeared.
The host sighed and said, "This guy still loves drinking so much."
It all started with wine when they first met, and after all these years, he still hasn't changed his habit of getting drunk and acting crazy. And to make matters worse, it's an old friend he's known for many years... The host couldn't help but feel apologetic as he said, "Please forgive us, let's move to the Quiet Heart Pavilion." Hong Mao smiled and said, "It's alright."
Then, everyone arrived at the Quiet Heart Pavilion, and the pavilion master dismissed his attendants. Only the six of them were left in the room. At this time, the pavilion master's face had become serious and slightly puzzled. Looking at the pavilion master's expression, Hongmao said: "Pavilion Master, you've invited us here today to discuss our identities, I presume?" The pavilion master nodded and said: "I know I shouldn't interfere, but I've brought you all here today just to clarify one thing - whether the two of you in front of me are indeed Hongmao and Lantou from the Seven Heroes?" Lantou stepped forward and politely said: "Pavilion Master, we don't dare to deceive you. We are indeed."
Seeing the slight surprise in the master's eyes, Hongmao explained: "We seven heroes encountered a change of circumstances, and now we can only rely on the Jingyuan Pearl to escape, so we had no choice but to participate in the San Tai Ge Grand Competition."
The pavilion master was also a clever person, he knew that the Jingyuan Pearl had many effects, but the most terrible place was that it could dissolve the Not Old Spring water. It seemed that only this could make the Seven Heroes suffer such a big blow. So he asked: "Is it because of the Not Old Spring water?" A hint of imperceptible pain flashed in Hongmao's eyes, and she nodded. The pavilion master sighed and said: "Hongmao young hero, Blue Rabbit Palace Master, I also want to help you, but this Jingyuan Pearl must be given to the ultimate winner of the Three Pavilion Competition. If I give it to you directly, it would not be fair to others." Hongmao shook her head and said: "Pavilion master, don't worry, I will definitely rely on my own skills to seize the Jingyuan Pearl and restore my brothers." The pavilion master looked at Hongmao with a few more points of admiration in his eyes. The leader of the Seven Heroes, Hongmao, was indeed selfless and upright!
At this time, Dangdang seemed to have thought of something and said: "Master, although you can't help us with this, do you have any way to restore Hongmao's martial arts, even if it's just a little bit?" Xiao Li heard this and also echoed: "Yes, Master, please help us!"
Han Tian also stepped forward and said, "Master, thank you." Although he didn't want to let Hong Mao surpass him, in his heart he yearned even more for a real showdown with the true Hong Mao. He wanted to openly and fairly prove his own strength. Hong Mao and Lan Tu saw this scene and were filled with emotion, involuntarily saying, "Thank you!" The master thought for a moment and said, "I only have one Huajing Dan here, it doesn't have any amazing effects, but it can strengthen your internal energy and help you. That's all I can do." As he spoke, he took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill, and handed it to Hong Mao. Everyone thanked him gratefully: "Thank you, Master!" Hong Mao clasped his fists and said, "Master, your help will be forever remembered in my heart. Please also help us keep this secret." The master said, "Don't worry, young hero, I will definitely keep my mouth shut." "Thank you!" Everyone clasped their fists together: "It's getting late, we should head back."
The master smiled and said, "You all slow down." After finishing the instructions to the people outside to send Hongmao and others out, looking at their backs, the master sighed and silently said in his heart, "I hope they can succeed."
