Awakening of the Ancient: Rise of the Fallen

"Two glasses of your best Spirit Wine please," Xin told the person that came to take their order.

She looked back at Xu Ming as soon as the person left.

"Hey, Don't stare at them. They might get offended," She said in a low voice as she noticed that Xu Ming was glaring at the disciples of the Glorious Sword Sect.

"Sorry, I was just curious about them," Xu Ming stopped looking at other tables and glanced back at Xin.

"It's alright. I just don't wish for a commotion. I do agree that you might be able to take care of yourself against one, but there are so many. It would be troublesome if a fight is started because of you staring at them," She said softly.

"Really? Will they start a fight over such a small matter?" Xu Ming asked in curiosity.

"I believe that they would. This won't be the first time either. I've heard about many incidents like that happening here. I guess it must be different in your city since you don't know about it. I just thought that all the cultivators acted like that," She said with a thoughtful look on her face.

"I would believe you. There are different kinds of people in this world. The existence of a few arrogant guys like that is quite possible," Xu Ming replied. He was keeping his voice low as well.

A man came up to them with two glasses of Spirit Wine and placed them on the table.

"Thank you," Xin told the waiter before he left.

"Try it. You'd like it a lot. It's the best wine in this land. It's pretty useful for the ones that drink it for the first time as well. It can help your cultivation slightly by stimulating the Qi inside your body," She said to Xu Ming as she slightly pushed the glass of wine towards him.

'I don't have the least bit of Qi inside my body. I don't believe this wine would do anything like that to me. Whatever, I can still drink it,' Xu Ming thought as he picked up the glass and took his first sip.

"It's nice," He complimented as he placed the glass down 

"Do you feel something?" Xin asked as she looked at Xu Ming.

"Nothing at all. I guess it's not effective on me," Xu Ming replied.

It was just as he had expected. This was not useful for him in the least 

"That's weird. Although it's my first time here, I've heard so many people talk about it," Xin let out with a confused look on her face.

"Don't think about it too much. It's fine," Xu Ming told her as he picked up the glass once more and took another sip.

Xin also started drinking the wine from her glass.

They were drinking their Wine and talking when a few guys entered the Fragrance Court.

There were 3 boys and they were all carrying a sword on their back while wearing the clothes that highlighted their cultivator status with the sky blue sword symbol on their chest.

"Brother Chu, finally you decided to visit the Fragrance Court with us after denying us for so long. I can't describe how happy I am,"  One of the boys said to the crimson-haired boy.

"Ruu, You know that it wasn't me who didn't want to go out and have fun, it was all because of my Elder brother who said that I can't leave the sect before I reach the 10th Stage of Body Refining Realm. He was so strict and I had no choice but to follow his orders," The Crimson haired boy called Chu said to the boy.

"After all these years, I finally got to the 10th stage of the Body Refining Realm and gained my freedom from that stupid prison-like place. Now I can have all the fun I want," Chu said with a grin on his face.

He stepped inside the place and soon after, his eyes fell on a girl sitting at the distant table.

He couldn't help but appreciate Xin who had a beautiful smile on her face as she talked to Xu Ming.

"Who's that girl?" Chu asked the guys that were around him.

"I have no idea. I haven't seen her here before. Has brother Chu taken a liking to her? She is indeed pretty," Ruu said as he smiled.

"Indeed, She's beautiful. I can't believe my luck. The first time I came here and I found a girl like that. I want her for myself," Chu said.

"I think I recognize her. She's a member of the Ling Clan," The other boy replied to him.

"The Ling Clan? As long as she's not from the two major clans, there's no need to worry," Chu said with a grin on his face.

"There's a room facility in Fragrance Court as well right? Ruu, I'll go take a room. I'll send Mai to inform you of the room number. You go invite the girl to my room. Don't screw this up alright? Chu said as he walked towards the reception of the Fragrance Court with Mai. Only Ruu was left behind

He booked a room without much trouble and sent Mai to inform the Room number to Ruu.

"Brother Chu is in room 3. Let's go and invite the girl. It's brother Chu's first time outside the sect and if we can make things fun for him, we might even get closer to him," Mai said with a grin on his face.

"Yeah. Chu is his little brother after all. His rise in the sect is already decided. If we can stick closer to Chu, we might be able to gain a few benefits as well. Let's get the girl," Ruu said with a smile as he stepped towards the table of Xu Ming and Xin.

"Hey beauty," Ruu said with a smirk on his face as he looked at Xin.

Xin noticed the clothes they were wearing.

"Yes, Is there something you need?" She politely asked.

"Not for us, but you can definitely do a lot of things for our brother. He's waiting in Room 3 for you. He wishes to have a talk with you," Ruu said to her.

"Ahh, I'm sorry but I don't feel like going into a guy's room. Anyways, we're already done here. We should be leaving," She said as she stood up.

"Are you trying to disrespect our brother? He only wishes to have a talk with you and you're doubting his pure intentions?" Rui said in annoyance.

Xin couldn't help but feel scared at the moment.

"Ruu, Calm down. Don't make a scene here," Mai said as he looked at Ruu.

"I'm sorry about my friend. He just doesn't like it when someone doubts someone innocent like our brother Chu. I can promise you that he only wishes to talk with you. If you don't believe us, you can even bring your friend with you," Mai said in a calm tone.

Ruu just looked at Mai with a weird look as he tried to understand what he was trying to do.

"If you still don't give us face and come with us, That would indeed be like insulting us and our brother. I hope you can consider carefully, or things might get troublesome," Mai said. Xin noticed that his tone had turned slightly serious.

"You won't let us go if we don't agree, will you?" Xu Ming asked as he looked at Mai.

"Yup. Be smart and give our brother an opportunity to talk with you and get to know you," Mai said, but he didn't look at Xu Ming. His focus never left Xin.

"Alright. We'll come with you. It's only going to be a simple chat after all," Xu Ming replied.
