"Wait, you're serious aren't you?" Ku Wang asked as he stared at Zhu Long in complete disbelief. He couldn't understand how the person, similar in ages with himself was so powerful but also not able to cultivate any qi.
Zhu Long, who had now drank a few glasses of wine, was a bit drunk. He smiled and blabbered,"Weird isn't it? Even I don't know why I can fight equally to those at the Nascent stage.."
"I wonder, how did Brother Lin get so powerful, that also at such a young age..." Ku Wang asked Zhu Long. Even though Ku Wang had just heard that Zhu Long didn't know how he had gotten so powerful without qi, he had also hoped that Zhu Long was just drunk and said those things stupidly. He looked into Zhu Long's eyes as if he were looking for secrets but then again, his face flushed red for some unknown reason.
Zhu Long laughed as he looked at Ku Wang, he had noticed Ku Wang's face turn red. His laughter was wild and unconstrained. Ku Wang's face only flushed redder as he heard Zhu Long's laugh. Ku Long tried to stop laughing and said, "Your face is as red as a tomato" He continued laughing for some time.
Suddenly, Zhu Long's face became serious, he looked at Ku Wang again, as he looked into Ku Wang's face, he mumbled, "Brother Ku's face is the most beautiful face I've seen till now. It's a shame that you weren't a woman, otherwise, even I would have tried to woo you. Have you considered crossdressing? I'm sure that many men would form a huge line just to see your face."
Zhu Longs' face was red due to laughing too much.
Ku Wang looked angrily towards Zhu Long as he heard all those comments. He only awkwardly laughed and said, "I think that Brother Lin has had one too many drinks.. I think that's enough wine, I've also had my fill. Plus, I'm sure that teacher will return soon."
He took the glass and wine gourd and kept them back in his spital ring.
Ku Wang wasn't stupid, he'd observed how Zhu Long got drunk so easily and also how he'd downed the glass of wine at once, and was sure that it was the first time that the man in front of him had drank alcohol.
'Now look, Brother Lin is drunk. I don't think that he can talk to teacher properly. But still, I will let teacher decide what to do."
*Swoosh*
"Hehe, It seems like out little guest is drunk. I guess in a way that is also good, I also need some rest. Trying to concoct that pill had been a real hassle and did a number on me. Little Ku, please escort our little guest to the guest room the get some rest yourself. I will meditate for a while to refill my qi." A voice came from outside of the balcony.
Ku Wang looked at the source of the sound, it was precisely his teacher, Huo Ming. He Smiled as he looked at Zhu Long, who was drunk to the core. He also looked at Ku Wang with some meaning in his eyes.
"Hmm"
Ku Wang also seemed to be a little bit tired. A lot of events had occurred this day, He trained for the entire morning and practiced the Zither for the day. During his practice, Zhu Long had trespassed his mansion and then suddenly gained enlightenment as he heard Ku Wang's music. As his teacher had told him the day before, Ku Wang warmly invited Zhu Long to the guest room where he had bathed and changed clothes. He had expected his teacher to complete his pill concocting earlier but was wrong and had to entertain Zhu Long for some more time. He also learnt something extremely shocking about Zhu Long, it was the fact that Zhu Long couldn't even manipulate qi, it wouldn't have been as impactful if Zhu Long was only an ordinary person but Zhu Long's power was equivalent to the Higher Nascent stage martial artists.
Ku Wang stood up and walked towards Zhu Long, he raised his hand, implying to give support to Zhu Long to help him walk. Zhu Long's vision at this moment was hazy so he put his hands above Ku Wang's and stood up.
"So soft!" He mumbled as he grabbed Ku Wang's warm hands.
Ku Wang ignored Zhu Long's drunk mumbling and said in a commanding voice," Follow me, I'll take you to your room"
Zhu Long nodded slowly," Yes sir!" he said in a loud voice.
Ku Wang slowly helped Zhu Long down the stairs, through the garden and finally to the guest room. He helped Zhu Long into the bed and looked at the asleep Zhu Long's face. Ku Wang seemed to think of something but only shook his head.
'I must not stay here any longer, I guess , I'll also have some good sleep.' He thought to himself as he headed out of the guest room.
After taking a last look at the asleep Zhu Long, and smiled warmly,' Maybe this is the first time I have made a true friend who doesn't want to get close to me only because of my background. He even trusts me enough to tell me something important.' He thought to himself and walked towards the main mansion.
---Morning---
'Huh? Where am I? Why can't I barely remember anything yesterday evening?' Zhu Long's mind felt heavy, his memories were hazy. he opened his eyes and looked towards the ceiling.
'I remember, this is the guest room of Ku Wang's mansion but how did I get here? I can't seem to remember much after drinking a few glasses of the wine that Ku Wang had offered me. It seems like i had a bit too much alcohol yesterday.' Zhu Wang laughed to himself. It was the first time that he had tried alcohol but couldn't seem to remember much of yesterday's events after he had tried it.
Zhu long got out of the bed and looked around. He walked lazily towards the washroom, stumbling a bit during the way. "That wine must have been pretty strong. My mind still feels hazy and due to that, I can't even walk properly. I'm sure that if oldie saw this, he would have been laughing off his ass by now." Zhu Long said to himself.
Zhu Long washed his face and got fresh. He walked out of the washroom.
"I must practice some arts, maybe that may help me get rid of this feeling." He said as he started to go some exercises.
After warming up for some time, Zhu Long took out the chakrams and practiced the moves of the Great Chakram Arts.
"Hmmm, woke up early and even started to practise some weapon arts regardless of the fact that you got wasted having alcohol the night before? I am impressed boy!"
