The setting sun on the ancient road is like blood, and the west wind rolls over the yellow sand.
There is solitary smoke in the desert, and the sun sets over the long river.
The vast desert carries a hint of mystery, yet is so lonely and desolate.
A man lies quietly in the desert.
There was a little dust on his face, but it still couldn't hide his handsome face.
The desert doesn't know when he will come, nor when he will leave.
The wind was also a little curious. It blew the man's hair and tried to wake him up.
The man's hand moved.
After a long time, the man woke up.
He opened his eyes, but his pupils were extremely empty, without any charm.
After a long time, he stood up and froze in place, letting the wind kiss his handsome cheek.
His eyes regained their vitality, and he seemed to remember something.
He looked at the old clothes he was wearing.
Then, he looked into the distance with his deep eyes and murmured to himself: "I don't know how long I have been sleeping."
He left the desert.
The man was walking barefoot. The strange thing was that even though he was standing in the desert, his feet were always a little far away from the desert.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he saw a city and came to the vicinity of the city.
He flashed and appeared on a street in the city.
The man was walking on the street minding his own business.
He came to an inn.
He walked in and said to the shopkeeper at the counter:
"A jug of wine."
When the shopkeeper saw him walking barefoot and his clothes in tatters, he thought he was a beggar and wanted to kick the man out.
Unexpectedly, before the shopkeeper could speak, the man sat directly at an empty table.
The shopkeeper came out of the counter and shouted to the man impatiently: "Where is this beggar coming from? Come away! Otherwise I will throw you out!"
As the shopkeeper said this, he called the waiters in the store and prepared to drive the man out.
When the man saw the actions of the shopkeeper and the waiter, he lightly tapped the table with his hand.
Immediately, there was a pressure, and the powerful pressure swept across the entire place, causing everyone in the inn to stop moving.
The shopkeeper knew that the person in front of him was not easy to mess with, so he could only lower his head where he was, clasping his fists and saying:
"My lord, I am ignorant of Mount Tai. I hope you will forgive me."
The man withdrew his pressure and said calmly: "A pot of wine, two appetizers, and a bowl of rice."
After hearing this, the innkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to a waiter: "Okay, okay, hurry up! Treat this distinguished guest right away."
After the wine and food were served, the man began to drink by himself.
At this time, the noisy atmosphere in the inn returned to its previous state.
"The pressure of this person just now must be at least the Golden Core stage. I wonder where this person comes from?"
At this time, someone discussed in a low voice.
The man being discussed did not care about these words, but continued to mind his own drinking.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in extraordinary clothes walked up to him, holding a glass of wine in his hand.
"Liu Shi, I'm looking at your birth. I wonder where you are from? Do you need any help?"
Liu Shi is the head of the Liu family, and his attitude at this moment is very good, as if he is deliberately trying to curry favor with the man.
"The head of the Liu family is also at the inn. He didn't pay much attention just now."
Someone in the inn saw Liu Shi and said softly.
"I heard that the Liu family's property is going to be annexed by the Shi family. Why are you still drinking here?"
"Maybe let's drink away our sorrows."
Someone responded.
Liu Shi didn't care what others thought, but looked at the man sincerely, waiting for his reply.
The man took a sip of wine, ate some food, and said to Liu Shi, "Sit down."
Liu Shi was delighted when he heard this and quickly toasted the man, then added another pot of wine to the waiter.
"I wonder what your name is?"
"Lin Xiao."
The man replied while eating.
"Little friend Lin Xiao, I wonder what brings you here? Maybe my Liu family can help you."
"There is indeed something, but what do you want me to do?" Lin Xiao said casually.
"To be honest, my Liu family has two golden elixir stage elders whose life cards have been broken. After the opponent Shi family got the news, they wanted to annex all the properties of my Liu family.
Therefore, I would like to ask you to be my worshiper to the Liu family. If a fight breaks out, I just want you to be able to hold off one person. The Liu family is willing to give you double your salary. "
Liu Shi, the head of the Liu family, said seriously without changing his expression.
Lin Xiao remained silent after hearing this and continued drinking.
The head of the Liu family was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Lin Xiao's next words.
After a long time, Lin Xiao finished drinking the wine and said:
"I accept the offer. By the way, what is the name of this continent?"
This time it was Liu Shi's turn to be confused.
Liu Shi: "Well... the continent is called Tianxing Continent."
Then he added: "We are in Qi State, Feng Luocheng."
"Let's go to your Liu family."
"Okay, little friend Lin Xiao, please come over here."
…
After a while, the Liu family arrived.
"Please, little friend Lin Xiao."
"Um."
The two guards opened the door, and then Liu Shi and Lin Xiao walked into Liu's house together.
The Liu family saw someone coming, so they all looked over. Someone asked: "Master, who is this??"
Liu Shi said in a somewhat solemn tone:
"This is a distinguished guest from my Liu family. You are so kind to entertain me and prepare a dinner. I want to treat this little friend to a banquet."
After saying that, he turned to Lin Xiao and said:
"Little friend Lin Xiao, I have prepared a courtyard for you. You can stay here tonight. Come on, I will take you to see it."
Lin Xiao followed Liu Shi away, leaving everyone in the Liu family present who looked confused.
"Get me some clean clothes and I'll take a shower. By the way, there's also a pair of shoes."
"Okay, okay. Little friend Lin Xiao, please come over here."
…
In the room, two maids had already given away clothes and shoes, but they did not leave after delivering them. Instead, they took the initiative to help Lin Xiao take off his clothes.
However, Lin Xiao felt a little uncomfortable, so he said:
"It's okay. You don't have to serve me. You can go about your own business."
The two maids were happy when they heard this.
They were chosen to serve Lin Xiao. They thanked the young master and walked out of the room.
Lin Xiao finished washing and put on a set of clean white clothes. His handsome temperament and handsome face were completely different from before.
Lin Xiao walked out of the room.
Liu Shi and the two maids who were sitting in the yard couldn't help but feel their eyes light up when they saw Lin Xiao going out. The faces of the two maids even turned slightly red.
"Young friend Lin Xiao is truly a heroic boy, and so handsome! I wonder if you have an engagement?"
Liu Shi laughed and joked to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao: "..."
"Young friend Lin Xiao, I'm just kidding, please come over here, the dinner is ready."
At the dinner, Liu Shi introduced Lin Xiao to all Liu family members.
When they learned that Lin Xiao was a strong man in the golden elixir and was willing to come forward to defend the Liu family's situation, all the Liu family members thanked Lin Xiao.
They felt that Lin Xiao had great power behind him, and that such a young Jin Dan might be from a big family.
At the dinner, many people came to toast Lin Xiao.
Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't show any hint of drunkenness, Liu Shi couldn't help but smile:
"Young friend Lin Xiao, you have such a good drinking capacity. If I had drank so much, I would have collapsed."
Lin Xiao replied calmly: "It's been too long since I've drunk. I don't want to get drunk too early."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"It seems that Mr. Lin thinks we don't drink hard enough!"
"Hahaha! Okay! In that case..."
"Come on! Wu drink! Serve the wine!!"
