"Jiang Zhizhi, come here and have a drink." Xichen Jingqing hooked his arm around Jiang Zhi's neck and walked into the Grandpa's Tavern.
The shopkeeper was an old man. When he saw Xichen Jingqing coming, he asked in a familiar tone, "Still the same?"
Xichen Jingqing nodded, looked at the old man and grinned: "Yes."
There were people sitting in twos and threes in the tavern. They sat in a corner against the wall on the first floor of the tavern hall.
Xichen Jingqing was obviously very familiar with this place, and he followed the passing servant very skillfully and said, "Xiao Yang, you are back. How is your mother at home?"
"You feel much better now." The servant wiped the sweat off his face and said, "I'll go get you some wine and some side dishes."
"Thank you." Xichen Jingqing smiled.
He then said to Jiang Zhi, "Sit down, sit down. You can drink until you die here and nothing will happen. I know everyone here."
Jiang Zhi nodded silently: "Okay."
"But I won't drink myself to death."
Xichen Jingqing looked at her quietly.
It seems that this junior sister of hers knows a lot of things. Things about the future may be unreliable, but things about the past are very accurate.
Jiang Zhi found that the third senior brother was staring at her in silence, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"Third senior brother, just say what you want to say." Jiang Zhi raised his eyes and looked at Xichen Jingqing.
"It's a little uncharacteristic of Third Brother to be so quiet."
Xichen Jingqing narrowed his light brown eyes and grinned, "I suddenly feel that Junior Sister is so mysterious that it's a little scary."
The servant brought a few side dishes and a pot of wine. Xichen Jingqing tilted his eyes and said thank you.
Jiang Zhi said casually: "Indeed, I also think I am terribly mysterious."
After all, she has a lot of secrets.
Xichen Jingqing chuckled: "You are really fearless."
"Is that so." Jiang Zhi supported his left elbow on the table, picked up the snacks with chopsticks in his right hand and started eating.
The servant quickly brought over the remaining jugs of wine and placed them in rows beside them.
Jiang Zhi looked at him, her eyebrows twitched slightly, her chopsticks paused slightly, she looked at Xichen Jingqing: "Is this the same as usual?"
"Yes, but sometimes they can't drink that much, but sometimes they can drink that much." Xichen Jingqing smiled, "So usually I let them bring the largest amount."
As he spoke, he opened the pot of wine in front of him, and the aroma of wine wafted out in an instant.
The wine was strong and pungent, like the hot wind blowing over the sand with a burning feeling.
"This wine is called Daddy's Wine." Xichen Jingqing took a porcelain bowl and poured a glass and handed it to Jiang Zhi, "Try it. I wonder if you have tasted it before."
Jiang Zhi reached out to take it and told the truth: "I haven't tasted it."
After all, she doesn't like drinking. If she drinks, it's just a little bit to please herself.
"It's very strong." Jiang Zhi took a sip and commented, "It's also very spicy."
Xichen Jingqing smiled and said, "Yes."
Jiang Zhi said he was drinking with Xichen Jingqing, and he kept clinking glasses with him.
Later it became a game of clinking wine jugs.
"Junior sister, what kind of person do you think I am?" Xichen Jingqing asked her with a smile.
The young man had handsome and clear features, and a pair of light brown eyes that seemed to carry light and passion that was difficult to extinguish.
The large crescent-shaped earrings also swayed slightly with the young man's movements.
"A very powerful beastmaster." Jiang Zhi gave his evaluation.
Xichen Jingqing stood up, his chest vibrating slightly, a smile surging from his chest and a low voice coming out of his throat: "Yes, I am the most powerful beastmaster."
He drank again in big gulps.
Jiang Zhi looked at him and noticed that his third senior brother seemed a little different after coming out of the palace.
She flipped through the novel silently.
"Xichen Jingqing and Xichen Yuye are good brothers, but one was raised by the king when he was young, and the other was raised by his biological mother."
"When the third brother was born, he was mistakenly diagnosed as not having the talent to control beasts, so the king planned to abandon him. Later, his biological mother stopped him, and in the end, it was his biological mother who took him away from the palace."
'In fact, it was Third Senior Brother's biological mother who did it on purpose. She knew that Third Senior Brother had an excellent talent for beast essence, and she also knew that the man beside her was a cold-hearted person. If Third Senior Brother was discovered, he would definitely become that man's tool.'
'When he was ten years old, Xichen Jingqing showed his talent in beast control, which was discovered by the king, so the king took them back.'
"Well, the king is a selfish guy. He threatened my third brother to stay in the royal family with his mother. He gave my third brother the highest honor, but also made him work for the royal family."

'In the end, the Dog King wanted to completely control the Third Brother, and then control the beast pet from the human, and finally the Third Brother's mother committed suicide...'
A violent noise.
Xichen Jingqing pressed the table heavily and stood up.
Jiang Zhi's inner thoughts suddenly stopped as he read the novel.
She paused and looked at Xichen Jingqing.
"Is Third Brother finally going to get drunk and go crazy?"
Xichen Jingqing lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Zhi's clear dark eyes, then raised his hand and pressed his forehead slightly, then turned his head away: "Sorry, let's go back home today."
He said as he walked outside.
"Third Senior Brother." Jiang Zhi followed slowly, "Can I go visit Third Senior Brother's mother tomorrow?"
"I may not be able to cure the poison that Third Senior Brother's mother contracted."
"The poison has become an inseparable part of the body, and she needs to take in poisonous blood to survive. And detoxifying her is like killing her, is that so?"
"However, my spiritual roots' healing abilities should be different, so I can give it a try."
Xichen Jingqing stopped, turned around and looked at Jiang Zhi, his eyes fixed on her.
Jiang Zhi also raised his eyes to look at him and smiled: "Third Brother, it's okay to meet your mother."
"Although I have a solution, I can't seem to say it directly."
"Jiang Zhizhi..." Xichen Jingqing's voice was slightly hoarse, "Actually, my mother has been imprisoned. I have to work very hard to see her. I am not a perfect genius. I have the talent of taming beasts, but I also need to study hard to use this talent well."
"Ah, I guess I'm drunk." Xichen Jingqing reached out and pressed Jiang Zhi's pair of dark, bright eyes that were looking at him. "Hahahaha, one day I will rescue my mother and teach that guy a lesson."
He said as he turned and left: "I am the most powerful beastmaster, how can I admit defeat so easily!"
"Third Brother, I can help you." Jiang Zhi hurried forward.
"I'll take you to the Xisha Islands for training in a few days. Why should I help you? Just take care of yourself first." Xichen Jingqing pushed away Jiang Zhi who was approaching.
In the past, others always pushed him away, but this time he was the one who pushed others away.
