I have a little bit of talent

Hearing what Fang Mu said, Chen Xian took a breath of cold air.

"Perfect soul? Never mind. I'm still far from that.

"However, you have only been practicing for a short time, but you have already reached this level of Yuan Shen realm. Even your father was far inferior to you in the past."

Chen Xian knew a lot about Fang Mu's situation. He knew that he had been practicing for a very short time, but he was even more shocked.

"General Chen, do you two know each other?"

Master Shang saw that the two were talking very familiarly, and it was obvious that they had known each other for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Who is this?" Fang Mu touched his nose. He certainly didn't know Master Shang, but seeing that he had been in this yard before, he thought he must be Chen Xian's good friend.

"He is the advisor of the government in Xishan City. His name is Shangluo. He is one of the good friends I made in Yizhou. You can just call him Advisor Shang."

Chen Xian introduced Fang Mu with a smile, and then said to Shang Shiye:

"You already know this person even if I don't tell you. He is Fang Mu from Yangzhou, the son of Fang Lu, a young master who is now famous all over the world. As for our relationship."

Having said that, Chen Xian looked at Master Shang with a sly smile on his face.

"I come from the Chen family, a family of scholars in the capital. After my elder sister got married many years ago, she moved to Fang Mansion in Yangzhou City with her husband. Fang Mu is my nephew."

As soon as these words were spoken, Master Shang was stunned. He stood there motionless, as if he had been struck by lightning. His head was buzzing and he was speechless for a long time.

Seeing this, Fang Mu couldn't help laughing and gently touched Chen Xian's arm.

"Master Shang is your good friend after all. Uncle, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?"

"I'm not hiding anything on purpose. Am I going to tell everyone that Fang Lu is my brother-in-law?" As it seemed rare to see Master Shang like this, Chen Xian also laughed.

"That's right. My father's status is too high. It's inconvenient for me to travel around the world. When I revealed my identity on Yunding Mountain, I don't know how many people were shocked."

Fang Mu deeply agreed with what Chen Xian said.

"Mr. Chen, you have kept it a secret from me for so long." At this time, Mr. Shang suddenly reacted, first cursed, then smiled bitterly:

"It was also because I didn't realize it. I knew clearly that the governor didn't discipline you much, and you collected many calligraphy and paintings by Lord Fang Lu. I should have thought that you had a close relationship with Lord Fang Lu."

"These are all unimportant matters," Chen Xian stretched out a hand and handed it to Master Shang.

"I admit defeat. Go and get your monkey wine."

“Bah! Who was the one who was immobilized and unable to move just now? It’s obviously you who lost,” Master Shang was somewhat shocked by Chen Xian’s shamelessness.

"Just tell me whether I hit him or he didn't hit me. You can figure out who won or lost."

"You are shameless!"

"You're cheating!"

Neither of them backed down, and they started to curse at each other, with their words becoming increasingly vulgar.

Not only did Chen Xian not have the demeanor of a master, but Master Shang, who clearly had no cultivation, was not afraid of Chen Xian at all, and did not lose out in his words. Fang Mu laughed in his heart.

…………

Half an hour later, the courtyard finally returned to peace. A few new dishes were added to the stone table, and a large jar of wine appeared. Although it was unopened, the rich aroma of wine had already filled the entire courtyard.

Obviously, Chen Xian won the argument between the two, and Master Shang finally took out the monkey wine that he had treasured for ten years.

But he did not lose out, as there was an extra painting in his arms, which was a picture of mountains, rivers and swimming dragons. He looked very satisfied.

After this round of confrontation, both of them achieved their goals, which was a win-win situation.

"I'm offering this wine to Young Master Fang. You're just taking advantage of it."

Seeing Chen Xian unfastening the lid of the jar with one hand and the rich aroma of wine wafting out, Master Shang's face trembled slightly and he tightened the painting in his arms.

"I've already taken it out. If you're reluctant to give the painting back to me, I won't drink it."

Although Chen Xian said he didn't want to drink, his hands didn't stop moving and he poured three large bowls.

"That won't do. With your relationship with Lord Fang Lu, how can you miss a painting?"

Of course, Master Shang was reluctant to let go of the painting of mountains, rivers and flying dragons in his arms. When he saw Chen Xian fill up the wine bowl, he quickly reached out and picked up a bowl, drank it in one gulp, and pushed the empty bowl in front of Chen Xian, meaning to pour another bowl.

The wine has been opened, and if I don’t drink a little more, it would be a shame to collect it for many years.

"Look at how stingy you are." Chen Xian rolled his eyes at him unhappily, but poured him another bowl of wine.

This monkey wine is a fine wine that Master Shang has collected for ten years. Not only is it rich and fragrant, but it also has a strong aftertaste. Master Shang has never practiced cultivation, so he cannot absorb and digest it quickly. In addition, he was already a little tipsy before, so after drinking this big bowl of monkey wine, his face was flushed and he was completely drunk.

"My wine... I can't... I can't drink more." Master Shang couldn't speak clearly. With drunken eyes, he wanted to pick up the wine bowl again, but he fell to the ground with a thud, and passed out.

"Uncle, your friend is also a wonderful person," Fang Mu couldn't help laughing when he saw that although Master Shang was drunk on the ground, he still held the painting of mountains, rivers and flying dragons tightly in one hand.

"That's not true. This old Shang is just a little stingy. He is really good in other aspects. Otherwise, I wouldn't have considered him as a close friend."

Chen Xian also had a sly smile on his face and picked up the wine bowl.

"Mu Ge'er, we haven't seen each other for many years. Let's drink this bowl!"

"it is good!"

The two of them raised their heads and drank a bowl of wine, then smiled at each other.

Both Chen Xian and Fang Mu are masters who have reached the level of Grandmaster. They have strong physiques, abundant true energy, and condensed spirits. They drink ordinary alcohol like water and digest it very quickly. Although this monkey wine is a bit old and has a strong taste, it is just brewed by monkeys in the mountains picking fruits. For ordinary people like Master Shang who have not practiced, it is naturally very strong and they will get drunk after just one bowl. But for these two people, it is nothing.

Even if they didn't use their true Qi to dissolve it, they could still easily absorb it with just the digestive ability of their internal organs.

Soon, a 20-jin jar of monkey wine was divided up by the two of them. If Master Shang, who had fallen asleep, woke up and saw this scene, he would probably faint from the heartache.

After finishing the wine, Chen Xian called a few yamen runners to clean up the mess, and carried the drunk Shang Shiye back home. He also served a pot of tea, and the uncle and nephew began to sit down and chat and reminisce about the past.

"Uncle, you were living well in the capital, why were you suddenly transferred to Yizhou?"

Fang Mu was puzzled by Chen Xian's transfer. Although the Chen family was not a wealthy family, they were also a family of scholars. Most of the children in the family studied in academies and rarely left the capital. Chen Xian, as the only male of the same generation in the Chen family, had been working in the capital before. Except for staying in Yangzhou City for a few years, he rarely went out. But he suddenly came to Yizhou, which must be something strange.

"Haha, I got transferred here by asking my friends for help." Chen laughed at first, then became a little distressed.

"Mu Ge'er, you don't know, ever since I returned to the capital from Yangzhou, the elders in my family have started urging me to get married, it's so annoying.

"In the past few years, they even intensified their efforts, urging me to meet the decent women they had found every day. But I was so fed up that I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I asked a friend to transfer me to Yizhou, where I enjoyed a few years of peace and quiet."

"Uncle, you are almost 40 years old. It is really too much for you not to get married. No wonder the elders in the family are blamed."

I thought there was some secret, but it turned out to be this reason. Fang Mu almost laughed out loud. It seems that whether it is the modern society in the previous life or the Great Zhou world today, older young people cannot avoid being urged to get married.
