#1115 - Chapter 1115 Wine
“Hahaha! Old man, you're not still dreaming, are you? If you're a celestial master, then I'm the Gold King!” Huba mocked.
“You don't believe me?” Cheng Bang asked.
Seeing Huba's reaction, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
“Young Master Long Six said that celestial masters are handsome young men. But you, old man, are so old, with white hair and beard. Tell me, would I believe you?” Huba retorted.
“Hahaha, you're right. This old man misspoke!” Cheng Bang laughed upon hearing his words.
“It's nothing, it's nothing. The first time I drank this nectar, I was even more out of control than you,” Huba chuckled.
“Really? How so?” Cheng Bang asked.
He wasn't curious, just asking casually to better conceal himself.
“Hehe, back then, I said I was Young Master Long Six's grandfather,” Huba laughed.
“Hahaha, Young Master Long Six didn't punish you after hearing that?” Cheng Bang asked with a smile.
“No, no. No one takes drunken ramblings seriously,” Huba waved his hand.
“I see!” Cheng Bang nodded.
Now he was completely relieved.
… …
It wasn't until the afternoon that Lie Yan and Bai Yuhou woke up.
Long Six's residence.
“Old mister, were you satisfied with yesterday's nectar?” Young Master Long Six asked with a smile.
“Haha, satisfied, very satisfied. Does this nectar have a name?” Cheng Bang asked, pretending to be nonchalant.
“I gave it a name,” Long Six replied.
“Oh? What is it called?” Cheng Bang asked.
“Wine,” Long Six replied.
“Wine? What does that mean?” Cheng Bang asked.
“This nectar is suitable for drinking after finishing work at the hour of you (5-7 pm), it can relieve fatigue. The nectar drunk at the hour of you is called wine,” Long Six explained.
“Hmm! This name is very fitting,” Cheng Bang said, drawing on the ground.
“Old mister, is what you said yesterday after getting drunk true?” Lie Yan asked.
“What words?” Cheng Bang asked.
“You said you were the celestial master Cheng Bang!” Lie Yan replied.
“What? I'm a celestial master? Hahaha, Lie Yan, are you still drunk?” Cheng Bang denied.
“Young Master Lie Yan, you don't know. I've heard that celestial masters possess great supernatural powers and never age. Judging by this, it's impossible for the old mister to be a celestial master. Words spoken in drunkenness are not to be believed,” Long Six said with a smile.
He was helping Cheng Bang out of an awkward situation.
Cheng Bang was somewhat puzzled, not knowing why Long Six would do this. But since someone didn't believe him, he might as well go along with it.
Bai Yuhou also felt relieved after hearing Long Six's explanation.
“Report! Leader! The people we sent out have returned!”
Just then, someone ran over to report.
“Really?” Lie Yan immediately ran out upon hearing this.
Bai Yuhou and Cheng Bang followed closely behind.
Long Six walked at the end.
Sure enough, on the outskirts of the tribe, several people were walking wearily towards the tribe.
Lie Yan ran up to greet them.
“How is it? Did you find it?”
“Young… …Master, found… …found it!” a man replied, exhausted.
“Good! Good! Where is it?”
“At… …at a place one month's journey north of Yan Land.”
“Good! Good! Quickly go back and rest!” Lie Yan was extremely excited.
Now that the location of Yan Land had been found, they could continue heading north.
However, when Lie Yan proposed to leave, he was stopped by Young Master Long Six.
“No, you can't leave yet,” Long Six said.
“Why?” Lie Yan asked.
“Have you forgotten? The debt to La Land hasn't been paid off yet,” Long Six reminded him.
“Hasn't been paid off yet? How is that possible? The people of La Land have been working diligently here for several months, why hasn't it been paid off?” Lie Yan simply couldn't believe his ears.
“That's right, Young Master Long Six. My people have spun mountains of gold thread for you, why hasn't it been paid off yet?” Bai Yuhou also didn't understand very well.
“That's right, you have indeed spun mountains of gold thread, but you have also eaten several mountains' worth of food. All this food has been supplied by my people all along, shouldn't this portion of the cost be included?” Long Six retorted.
“This… …” Bai Yuhou was at a loss for words.
He couldn't refute this.
The people of La Land had indeed been eating the food provided by Long Land for so long.
More than ten thousand people eating continuously for several months, it was indeed not an exaggeration to describe it as several mountains.
“Young Master Long Six, according to what you're saying, then wouldn't we never be able to pay it off?” Lie Yan retorted.
“Not really, according to their current level of effort, it will take about 30 years to pay it off,” Long Six replied.
“30 years!?” Bai Yuhou was shocked upon hearing this.
Even if gold clothing was valuable, 30 years was simply too outrageous.
“You can't just calculate your accounts! If you're not convinced, you can switch places and have you collect supplies to supply the Yu Land tribe in the south to make gold clothing. You can see what it's like to supply so much food every day,” Long Six said.
