151 I drink for the loneliness, not the wine (1/2)
Old Song's entire body started to tremble as a faint blue light flashed from his body; he eventually calmed himself down and said in a hoarse voice: ”This old man admires your vision, but I just wish to blend into the city and make an honest living for myself in my late years since no one bothers a bartender for being a Sky Xuan expert...”
The black clothed man replied lightly: ”If you wish to brew wine in peace, then that's good and I will not bother you.”
Old Song turned around to leave, but then whispered softly as he left: ”Thank you for your kindness.”
Jun Mo Xie smiled and said: ”Old Song, please give me two jugs of wine. Today this young master will make an exception and drink your wine again.” Old Song acknowledged his order and went inside the shop. His heart was inwardly surprised at the ease with which this youngster was behaving around this mysterious expert, since he could sense that this mysterious expert was capable of killing them both in a hundred different ways; [this guy is behaving very recklessly.]
”You will not share my wine?” this time it was the man in black who raised his eyebrows and asked a question.
”I do not take favors from others… if drink your wine then I'll owe you a favor. In this world riddles with debts, the debt of gratitude is the most difficult to repay.” Jun Mo Xie smiled casually: ”Besides, drinking wine after spending money is more comforting.”
”That's reasonable.” The man in black replied, and then continued to drink his wine quietly. Then, he wiped his mouth and said: ”This wine is really good. Kumis always tastes better with beef…”
At this time, Jun Mo Xie's order was also delivered to their table. Jun Mo Xie immediately opened the cork and started to drink. His drinking speed wasn't lesser than the black-clothed man's.
Although both men were sitting on the same table, they were both concentrating on drinking their wines alone.
The man in black was drinking at a fairly slow pace now, but his speed was very consistent, and unhurried. Even his eating speed was very slow, and very casual.
Although he was drinking wine in the company of another man, it seemed as if he had built his own world, and had excluded all elements of the outside world from his conscious altogether.
After drinking seven or eight cups of wine, the man in black suddenly discovered something unexpected. This discovery suddenly elated the impression of the youngster in front by several levels in his eyes.
He was drinking out of loneliness, but the actions of the youngster in front of his eyes seemed even more desolate that his own. Since he was drinking in a solitary manner, he was his own entertainment; but the boy in front didn't even seem to be drinking wine… it appeared as if the youngster was drinking cups of loneliness!
At his mental level, he was drinking wine to distract himself from his solitude, but the boy in front seemed to be enjoying the loneliness! [He's able to endure this solitary feeling with such an open-mind that he's actually enjoying it… what kind of a superior mind does he have?]
[His mental level… it seems that he's even superior to me?!]
[Who is this mysterious teenager?]
Even though the two men were drinking in a solitary manner on the same table, their charms were mutually exclusive. Even though Jun Mo Xie was able to integrate into this man's world, but the man was finding it extremely hard to enter into Jun Mo Xie's!
A long while later, the man in black was further surprised to realize that he had paying a lot of attention to the boy in front, but the youngster didn't seem to be taking any note of his presence!
[It seems that I'm not even present here, in his eyes.]
The mysterious man's Xuan Qi cultivation level had already transcended to the peak, so he could naturally sense that this young man's Xuan Qi was near-pathetic; given his age, [his cultivation level can only be described as ordinary… maybe even trash! I could just kill him by just blowing air!]
[But then why is such a boy able to maintain this kind of a mind-frame?]
[Cultivation is easy for children from large families as long as they are sincere and interested in training since they can find good guidance easily. Detoured youngsters are rare, but it shouldn't be this surprising!]
[However, this kind of mental level is hard to find… Even a senior military officer is unable to maintain this mindset... what kind of penance is he concealing in his heart?!]
[Moreover, he's very young at the moment, but somehow he feels a lot older!]
”Kid, you're something special!” The man in black slowly stated.
”Do you still think that I'm not qualified to sit here?” Jun Mo Xie asked without looking up as he continued to focus on his drink.
”In terms of your age, your Xuan Qi is low since your meridians have suffered heavy damages, which is resulting in your abnormal cultivation level. So in terms of Xuan Qi, you're ordinary, but being able to drink alone in front of me while being able to maintain such a mind-frame isn't an ordinary feat; even the most experienced men are unable to do such a thing.”
