Chapter 340: Refining the Supreme Ghost Flag (2/2)
Huang Xiaohai, with his upper body naked, revealing a firm muscular torso,was practicing a set of fist skill called Heart Burrowing Fist, a mid-grade Earth rank battle skill. With Huang Family’s current reputation and strength, it was not difficult to have Earth rank battle skills.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Huang Xiaohai turned his head around, beaming when he saw Huang Xiaolong. Stopping his practice, he called out: “Big brother!”
Huang Xiaolong nodded while smiling, walking into the yard.
“I heard Dad and Mom say that you have a target of affection?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
Hearing this question, Huang Xiaohai’s face turned red, fidgeting awkwardly.
“What’s there to be shy about?” Huang Xiaolong laughed at his younger brother. Huang Xiaohai was already twenty this year, in Martial Spirit World, a young man would bring a bride home at the age of eighteen or nineteen.
“Come, let us brothers go out for a walk and drink some wine.” Huang Xiaolong said.
All these years, other than practice, all Huang Xiaolong did was to practice even more. He spent very little time accompanying his parents and even less time given to this younger brother of his.
“Yes, Big brother!” Huang Xiaohai was very happy, sprinting off to put on clothes and stepped out of the Southern Hill Estate. Huang Xiaolong did not call for any guards with them, they were just two brothers spending time together.
All in all, the time spent by Huang Xiaohai in Duanren Imperial City was longer than Huang Xiaolong by far. All year round, Huang Xiaohai stayed in his yard, practicing, therefore he wasn’t familiar with the Imperial City outside the four walls of the Southern Hill Estate.
While walking, Huang Xiaolong asked about Huang Xiaohai’s practice, the problems he had, clarifying them to Huang Xiaohai one by one. Even though Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu would occasionally guide Huang Xiaohai, certain aspects of their battle qi comprehension were limited compared to Huang Xiaolong. Listening to Huang Xiaolong’s explanation, Huang Xiaohai gained a deeper level of comprehension related to battle qi and his own cultivation.
The two brothers walked without direction as they talked, until an hour and a half later. Huang Xiaolong stopped in front of a restaurant called Happy Monarch House. From its outside appearance, this Happy Monarch House looked elegantly decorated, the lively atmosphere inside could be felt where they stood.
“How about this Happy Monarch Restaurant?” Huang Xiaolong looked at his younger brother.
The only two places he had been to in the past were the Unforgettable Intoxication Restaurant, where they had the Beauty Allure Wine, which he thought was not bad, and the other one was the Sapidity Wine House, which he visited with Xie Puti to drink Sapidity Wine.
“I heard that this Happy Monarch’s Hometown Wine is quite good.” Huang Xiaohai said.
“Hometown Wine?” Huang Xiaolong added another question, “You were here before?”
Huang Xiaohai shook his head, “I just randomly heard some of the estate guards speak about it.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded, “Come on, let’s go in.”
The brothers walked in, went up to the first floor, searched for a table closer to the window and sat down. Calling the waiter over, they ordered some dishes and two jugs of Hometown Wine to see if it really was as good as the guards said.
Soon, the waiter brought their orders, filling the table with fragrant dishes and two jugs of wine.
Just when Huang Xiaolong wanted to uncork the wine, they heard loud noises of discussion from the next table.
“Did you hear, this year’s Imperial City Battle’s first place winner was a young man named Huo Ping. This Huo Ping’s martial spirit is a top grade thirteen White Bear, just a young’un, twenty-two-year-old and already a Xiantian Second Order!”
“Some people say that this Huo Ping’s talent exceeds that year’s Young Noble Divine Dragon, Huang Xiaolong.”
