My apprentice is a little weird?

But before he could say anything, he suddenly stopped, frowned, put down the wine, and looked towards the door.

There were two people standing outside the door. One was an old man with white hair and beard, kind-looking, and wearing a black robe.

The other was a young man, wearing a boy-style Taoist robe, holding a small wooden box in his arms, with a strange smile on his face, following the old man.

The old man had no intention of going in. He just stood outside, looking away calmly, his eyes moving as if he was looking for something.

The young man left the old man and walked into the restaurant. The diners around him just glanced at him and then paid no more attention to him.

Lianshan City is a mixed bag of people, and they have seen this kind of combination too many times, so they are not surprised at all.

When the waiter saw someone coming in, he hurried over to greet them.

"Sir, you have come to the right place. This is a famous restaurant nearby. There is no better restaurant in the city. We also have a wide variety of dishes and wines, including..."

The waiter was calling out the names of the dishes as usual, but was interrupted by the young man.

"I'm just here for a visit, it won't take me long, no need to bother talking to me, waiter."

"Ah...then you two can do as you please."

The waiter put away his enthusiasm and turned to greet others, muttering as he walked.

"What kind of person is this? He is so well dressed that he hesitates even when it comes to having a drink. He is not as straightforward as that guest Jiang."

The young man didn't say much. He glanced around with a strange expression on his face, as if he was mocking someone or looking at an ant.

After looking around, the young man fixed his sight on Shopkeeper Lu who was sitting in a rocking chair.

"I found you~"

The young man spoke without any context, and with a slight movement of his fingers, he opened the wooden box he had been holding a little, and dozens of black shadows flashed inside.

In an instant, the entire restaurant was enveloped by a cold atmosphere, an atmosphere that was chilling to the bone and penetrating deep into the soul.

However, the biting cold came quickly, and no one else paid it any attention, just thinking it was a cold wind blowing in from outside.

After doing all this, the young man closed the wooden box, turned around and left with the old man.

But it disappeared in the wind and snow in a moment.

……

Shopkeeper Lu's eyebrows kept twitching and his heart was beating very fast. For some reason, he always felt as if something was going to happen and felt a little uneasy.

I subconsciously shrank my body, and my throat began to itch and my head ached slightly, as if I had caught a cold.

"Ahem... I'm really old. I can't even go get some wine..."

Shopkeeper Lu frowned, supported himself on a chair and stood up with difficulty, wanting to get some medicine for the cold, but as soon as he stood up, everything in front of him went dark, and his body felt weak and powerless.

His head drooped limply and his upper body tilted forward, about to fall to the ground.

But at this moment, a white hand held him firmly.

"Boss, please watch the road carefully~"

Shopkeeper Lu raised his head, blinked slightly and looked to the side, and saw that Jiang Yan had come to his side at some point, supporting him with a smile.

Looking at the other person's calm smile, Shopkeeper Lu inexplicably felt a sense of peace in his heart, as if all the negative emotions had been dispelled, and even his body had regained some strength.

Standing up straight, Shopkeeper Lu said with a smile:

"Haha, I'm old, there's nothing I can do. Thank you so much for this time, sir. If it weren't for your support, I would have to lie down for a few days after falling down."

Jiang Yan smiled and said nothing more. This was not something that could be solved by lying down for a few days. This thing would last a lifetime.

"Boss, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to deal with, so I have to excuse myself for now."

Shopkeeper Lu wanted to reach out to keep him, but Jiang Yan reached out first, untied the black gourd from his waist and handed it to Shopkeeper Lu.

"Please fill this gourd with some wine for me. Just fill it as you see fit. I will come to get it when the time comes. You can pay for the wine separately."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he turned and left the restaurant.

However, when he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and went back to his table, picking up the half-finished jar of daughter's red wine.

"I almost forgot about you~"

As he said this, he looked up to the sky and took a gulp. Not a single drop was missed, and all was swallowed into his stomach.

“What a great wine~”

.........

Jiang Yan walked out of the restaurant somewhat unsteadily and disappeared in the wind and snow.

Shopkeeper Lu held the gourd in his hands and looked at Jiang Yan's back with a deep frown.

"He's an expert... If I entrust him with the task, will he agree..."

After thinking for a while, Shopkeeper Lu gritted his teeth, waved his hand to let the waiter come over, handed the gourd to him and said:

"Go, fill this gourd with my ten-year-old daughter's red wine."

The waiter scratched his head, recalling the look his boss gave him at that time, and said doubtfully:

"Didn't you say there was only one jar?"

"Hmph, it is indeed a jar, but did I tell you the size of this jar?"

This kind of fine wine is only available to ordinary people who may only seal up a small jar. For a big winemaker like Mr. Lu, it is hard to say how big the jar is.

…………

As evening approached, the snow fell even harder in the city, almost reaching up to the calf level.

The bustling markets also closed their stalls early, so there were fewer people on the streets, but there were still many pedestrians.

In the middle of this, an old man and a young man were walking slowly. The young man smiled and said to the old man next to him:

"It's too easy. The Xu family is almost in decline. They even asked me to help them deal with the Li family. If it weren't for my uncle, I wouldn't go."

"But this time we did not get nothing. I did not expect that the Li family actually had the Immortal Order. I just don't know where it was hidden. Even if I killed them, they would not tell me. Tsk, there was not enough time. I almost forced them to tell me~"

"Xu Shu, there are restrictions in Lianshan City. If your cultivation is not good enough, you should be careful. You have been too reckless in your recent actions against the Li family."

The old man's eyes were calm, and he interrupted the young man's words lightly:

The young man named Xu Shu sneered.

"Mr. Chen, you overestimate this restriction. As long as I don't leak my magic power, there is no way the restriction will be triggered."

Old Chen shook his head slightly and said no more, but at this time Xu Shu spoke again.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, we are staying well in Lingxiang Territory, why are we suddenly sent here to look for someone? Or a crazy little girl? This is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is no clue..."

"Be careful with your words~"

Old Chen looked at Xu Shu dimly, which made him shudder. He then realized that he had said too much and quickly said, "I don't mean anything else, I just... don't know how to complete it!"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. If the higher-ups ask us to find it, then we'll find it. And this matter must not be made public, especially not to other immortal sects. If it is leaked, we will kill without mercy~"

"Yes Yes!"

Xu Shu was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats. He recovered after a while and his attitude became much more respectful. He spoke.

"So…if we really find it, what should we do with it?"

Old Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly.

"Lock up the seven spirits, separate the three souls, and bring them back to the spiritual realm"
