There was a loud cheer in the restaurant. The playboys, who had not yet figured out what was going on, applauded and praised Chu Tian and Zi Xiaosheng loudly for destroying the prestige of these outsiders!

Zi Xiaosheng put the big folding fan in his collar, proudly bowed to the dandies around him, and smiled as brightly as a morning glory.

No one knew who took the lead, but a bunch of playboys started clamoring for the restaurant owner to bring out all the fine wines in the cellar. All kinds of delicious food were served like flowing water. Taking advantage of the fact that Zi Xiao had destroyed Hao San's prestige, a group of people ate and drank to their heart's content and got drunk.

Chu Tian couldn't help but act as a plagiarist a few times. Zi Xiaosheng's face flushed from drinking, and he also took out his purple jade flute and played a melodious song "Butterfly Lovers". The playboys were intoxicated and some even shed tears.

After making a fuss all day, at dusk, Chu Tian and Zi Xiaosheng chose an inn by the lake and rented a waterside attic to live in.

I opened all the doors and windows, sat on the terrace level with the water, and felt the water waves all around me. The breeze blew, and I felt cool under my armpits, which made me feel very comfortable. The red clouds in the west were reflected in the lake, and the half sun had not yet set, while the half moon in the east had already peeked out.

The sun and the moon shine together, the sky and the earth are extremely clear, the water pavilion is surrounded by dense forests, and countless birds returning to their nests are falling like raindrops.

Amid the chirping of birds, Chu Tian and Zi Xiaosheng sat on two armchairs respectively, drinking tea and looking at the scenery of lakes and mountains. Neither of them spoke for a long time.

After a long, long time, Zi Xiaosheng finally put down the teapot and lay on the armchair with his arms and legs spread out like a well-fed pig. He hummed lazily, "Brother Chu!"

"Hey!" Chu Tian also put down the teapot and lazily looked at the clouds floating slowly in the sky with the wind.

"My last name is Zi!" Zi Xiaosheng turned his head lazily and glanced at Chu Tian lazily: "Tian Clan, the Zi in Zi Clan."

“Purple Clan?” Chu Tian also lazily tilted his head, yawned, and looked at Zi Xiaosheng lazily: “Well, Celestial Clan, Purple Clan, it sounds quite scary.”

"You have dealt with the Jin family before." Zi Xiaosheng took out a token carved from a purple crystal stone and threw it into Chu Tian's arms. "In the Tian Clan, the hierarchy is extremely strict. Take the Jin Dynasty as an example. My Purple Clan is the only royal family. Below the Purple Clan, there are the royal families. The Jin Clan belongs to the Gold Clan, as well as the Wood Clan, Water Clan, Fire Clan, Earth Clan, and some other tribes that are equal to the Gold Clan are nobles."

"The Celestial Clan is noble, and other clans are all ants!" Zi Xiaosheng twisted his mouth and shrugged: "The Celestial Clan is actually a very boring thing."

Chu Tian picked up the purple crystal token with two fingers and looked at Zi Xiaosheng in surprise: "What is this?"

Chu Tian was not surprised about Zi Xiaosheng's birth background. When he met him in Yizhou, he knew that this guy was of great origin.

When he arrived in this world, Chu Tian knew that he must be from a great family in the Tian Clan. However, the Zi Clan was the royal family of the Tian Clan, and the status of the Jin Clan was so much lower than that of the Zi Clan, which Chu Tian had never expected.

"Take it!" Zi Xiaosheng hummed lazily: "Remember what I said when we were in Qizhou? This token represents that you are my retainer!"

"Retainer?" Chu Tian rolled his eyes and rudely looked at Zi Xiaosheng.

"Hey, retainer!" Zi Xiaosheng lay on the recliner, crossed his legs, and twitched one foot lazily, just like the butchers and meat vendors in the meat shop of Qizhou City who were enjoying the cool breeze in their spare time: "We are fighting. I don't know how long this war will last. If those blind guys really reach the Windless Canyon, hanging this token outside the gate of Hancui Cliff will ensure safety!"

Blinking his eyes, Zi Xiaosheng suddenly smiled: "In your words, to ward off evil spirits!"

After a moment's hesitation, Chu Tian stuffed the token into the bracelet and said, "Then accept it. However, I treat you as a friend, not a retainer!"

Chu Tian snorted coldly and said lazily: "Hao San said that I was colluding with the Celestial Clan. If I really became your retainer..."

Zi Xiaosheng laughed and threw a coquettish glance at Chu Tian stealthily: "You, now, aren't you colluding with the Tian Clan? I am a member of the Zi Clan, hehe!"

Chu Tian glanced at Zi Xiaosheng and snorted coldly, "Are you from the Zi clan participating in this war?"

Zi Xiaosheng frowned and sat up. He shook his head and said nonchalantly, "This kind of petty quarrel, not to mention my Zi Clan, even the families under the Zi Clan will not get involved."

Chu Tian nodded as a matter of course: "Since your Purple Clan is not involved, then I am not considered to be colluding with the Celestial Clan. Isn't this a very simple truth?"

Zi Xiaosheng was stunned. He tilted his head and stared at Chu Tian blankly. After a long time, he nodded vigorously: "This seems to make sense. I have nothing to say. Yes, since my Zi clan will not participate in this war, then your friendship with me will naturally not be considered collusion with the Tian clan."

Chu Tian also laughed. He took out a few jars of fine wine and put them aside. He sat up straight, looked at Zi Xiaosheng and asked with a smile: "I have always been the one telling you stories. How about this time, Brother Zi, tell me what kind of existence the Celestial Clan is?"

Chu Tian said in a deep voice: "Celestial Clan, spiritual cultivation, what is going on? And what are the six great demon-sealing barriers for?"

Zi Xiaosheng was silent for a while, then he grabbed a jar of fine wine, broke the seal and took two gulps. He looked up at the sky and exhaled a breath of wine. He looked at the gradually darkening sky and muttered to himself, "The Celestial Clan, this is an extremely boring thing. They claim to be the most noble clan between heaven and earth, and they claim to have comprehended the highest laws between heaven and earth, and they use extremely strict rules to constrain all things."

Zi Xiaosheng lowered his head, looked directly into Chu Tian's eyes, and said word by word: "Those big and small families below are fine, but do you know what my Zi Clan does on a daily basis? It has been the same for ten thousand years, and it will never change."

"Practice at a fixed time every day."

"Every day, wash and groom at a fixed time."

"Every day, take a break at a fixed time."

"Eat at a fixed time every day."

"What to do every day, when to do it, what to say when doing it, what to say, what to do, what to wear, what tone to use when everyone does everything at every time and place... It remains the same for thousands of years and never changes."

"As early as I can remember... I can remember things from a very early age, even when I was still in my mother's belly."

Zi Xiaosheng said slowly: "What to say and what to do at what time, what you can do and what you can't do... Even how many teeth you should show when you smile and how many tears you should shed when you cry, there are strict rules!"

Chu Tian looked at Zi Xiaosheng in astonishment: "Is this crazy?"

Zi Xiaosheng looked at Chu Tian bitterly: "This is the rule!"
