Yinshang inherited the Eastern Barbarian's ritual of augury. They would face towards the north when they perform a divine reading and hail the northern God of Immortal as Xuan Ming. In fact, 'Ming' and 'Wu' shared the same meaning in Yinshang.
The residence of the Grand Perceptor and the palace were located at the north as a symbol of honor. Wuding brought Shen Lian to the southernmost point and found an exquisite wine bar. They got themselves a room that faced the river and had willow trees planted at the opposite. Although it was not a magnificent view, the wine made things a lot more pleasant.
Moreover, they were eating dragon liver and dragon flesh as well as drinking hundred-year-old celestial wine. What else could be better than that?
Wuding started with three shots in a row to dispel the mixed emotions he was having. He then fixed his gaze at Shen Lian, the wonderful Shen Lian whom he does not know how to treat.
