"Clang clang."
Upon returning to Yangzhou, Shangguan Hong proudly took out the casino receipts and waved them triumphantly.
Upon seeing this, Ouyang Xue laughed and said, "Miss Shangguan, you've won so much, you'll have to treat us this time."
"certainly!"
Shangguan Hong readily agreed.
"You guys go to Zuixianlou to order food first, I'll go to the casino to exchange the silver notes."
After saying that, she put away the receipts and walked towards Chang Le Fang.
Ouyang Xue watched her retreating figure with a chuckle, "Drunken Immortal Pavilion? It seems Lady Shangguan is prepared to bleed a lot this time."
Everyone in Yangzhou knows that Zuixianlou is the best and most expensive restaurant in Jiangdu.
Ouyang Xue's massive hemorrhage was just a joke; one of the three was the rightful heir of one of the six major sects, and the other was the number one martial arts master in the world.
The Bibo Sect, where Shangguan Hong belonged, had declined, but the legacy it left behind was enough for her to live off for the rest of her life.
The chivalrous heroes in the stories always ate meat and drank wine heartily, and few of them seemed to have any worries about money.
The three of them went to Zuixianlou Restaurant. Not intending to save Shangguan Hong any money, they booked a private room and ordered a table full of delicious dishes.
While waiting, Sheng Wansong said.
"Miss Ouyang, Lady Shangguan already calls you Xiaoxue, it would be too formal for you to still call her Lady Shangguan."
"Why don't we start calling her Xiao Hong too?"
Ouyang Xue laughed out loud, but then, mindful of her image, she switched to a silent smile. "Lady Shangguan is older than me, which is why she calls me Xiaoxue."
"There is an order of seniority. Even if I were to change how I address her, I should respectfully call her Sister Shangguan or Sister Hong."
Another young lady brainwashed by feudal ethics.
However, considering the rumors of cannibalism that I've heard in the future, a certain amount of feudal ethics might not be such a bad thing.
At least Sheng Wansong quite liked this particular girl.
"So, what would you like to call her?"
Ouyang Xue was troubled. "Is calling her 'Sister Hong' too intimate?"
Shangguan Hong pushed open the door, her face full of smiles.
"I think it's a good idea."
Sheng Wansong detected a trace of blood on her. "Did the gambling den go back on their word?"
Shangguan Hong shook her head, "You helped them make a fortune, why would they care about such a small amount of compensation?"
"There were a few petty thieves who saw that I had taken a lot of money and tried to rob me."
"I've already killed him."
She casually sat down opposite Sheng Wansong.
Then, with a smug smile, he said to Ouyang Xue, "Xiao Xue, call me Sister Hong."
"Hong. Sister Hong."
It was just a title, yet her face flushed.
Shangguan Hong was in high spirits and did not continue to force Ouyang Xue. Instead, she turned her eyes to Sheng Wansong.
"We've already changed how we address each other, Young Master Sheng, why don't you change it too?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Xue also looked up at Sheng Wansong.
Shangguan Hong laughed heartily, her lips curving into a wide arc.
"However, Young Master Sheng is the youngest among us."
Ouyang Xue's heart skipped a beat before she realized what was going on.
Both of them were sixteen years old, while Sheng Wansong was only fourteen.
So it is said that...
"There is an order of seniority. If we're going to change how we address each other, Young Hero Sheng, you'll have to call us 'elder sister'."
It's just a name.
Sheng Wansong calmly put down his teacup.
Meeting two pairs of expectant and teasing eyes, he pretended to hesitate and slowly opened his mouth, but suddenly made a sound when the two of them were not paying attention.
"Sister Hong".
"Sister Xue."
"Gurgle."
Ouyang Xue shuddered and lowered her head, blushing.
Shangguan Hong also showed a rare flush on her face as she picked up a cold dish with her chopsticks and held it in front of Sheng Wansong.
"Come on, Sister Hong, let's feed Wansong some lotus root."
Sheng Wansong did not hesitate, opened his mouth to eat, and spat out the chopsticks.
He felt his clothes being tugged.
Looking down, it was An Lan.
An Lan pointed to herself, "And what about me?"
"An'an is An'an."
Sheng Wansong patted her little head.
In the future world, he heard that some people would call little girls "mother".
But no matter what, he would never call a little girl "sister".
Anlan seemed somewhat disappointed.
"Both the older and younger sisters bought them wholesale."
Sheng Wansong smiled and said in a low voice, "Only An'an is special, it's a name that belongs only to you."
Just one sentence was enough to bring a smile to An Lan's face.
As the food and drinks were gradually served.
Shangguan Hong poured wine into her glass, "To celebrate my younger brother."
"Forget about the younger brother."
Sheng Wansong shook his head. "Just call me Sheng Wansong or Wansong."
"Then, let's celebrate Wan Song becoming the number one expert in the Central Plains."
Shangguan Hong poured wine into everyone's cup.
Sheng Wansong did not like drinking, and in his eyes, the so-called drinking culture was just another form of bullying.
However, the ancient spirits were not the high-proof liquors of the future, but rather rice wines and fruit wines brewed from vegetables, fruits, and grains. They had a low alcohol content and the aroma of grains.
If it's just one cup, Sheng Wansong wouldn't mind.
Shangguan Hong poured wine for all three of them.
When An Lan raised her glass, she replaced it with a bottle of honey water and poured it over: "This is fine for Xiao An."
An Lan pouted unhappily.
Children are always curious about everything; the more you forbid them from drinking, the more they want to drink.
"Cheers!"
The four men raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.
Shangguan Hong took the lead in setting the mood at the table, recounting her experiences from all over the country.
Compared to her, Sheng Wansong and Ouyang Xue's knowledge and experience were somewhat limited.
Sheng Wansong shared some interesting stories from his childhood and recounted how he adopted his second and third younger sisters.
"Back then, they looked like little children, a world of difference from how they are now."
Ouyang Xue grew up in the mountain villa, except for one exception.
Perhaps under the influence of alcohol, she gradually revealed her newfound life.
"I only left the mountain village once during my childhood, when I went with my father to the border region to find an old friend of his to try to cure the poison."
She recounted how she got separated from her father and was trapped in the dark with another lost boy. They were surrounded by howling wolves and had only a campfire to rely on.
He was eventually found by his father.
What happened then was the only difference in the monotony of her life, so she never forgot it.
Shangguan Hong asked, "Xiaoxue, do you want to find that boy?"
"That's all in the past," Ouyang Xue shook her head.
"My feelings for him were not the budding of romantic love, but rather an anticipation of another world that I did not know."
"And now, the most magnificent world is unfolding before me."
Shangguan Hong poured more wine, "Then, to Xiaoxue's future, cheers!"
Ancient wines were not very strong, and the people present were all martial arts masters, so they could easily neutralize the effects of the alcohol by circulating their internal energy.
Only Ouyang Xue remained in a daze after drinking, without using her internal energy to dispel the alcohol.
"Wan Song".
After leaving the restaurant, Shangguan Hong called out.
"What is it, Lady Shangguan?"
So it only applies when I'm alone.
Shangguan Hong pursed her lips, feeling a pang of regret.
