Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World by Ming Yu
Chapter 2139: The Domineering Long Clan

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and drank from his cup. Then he closed his eyes and savored the flavor. He nodded and said, “It really is good tea. Only high-grade tea leaves can achieve this degree of flavor. Good, really good tea.”

The old man also drank his tea and nodded. Then he laughed and said, “It’s rare to meet a young man who understands tea nowadays. Little Brother, you have a unique character.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I made Old Master laugh. I’m just an amateur. I’m only good at eating and drinking. I’m not good at anything else.”

The old man laughed, “Eating and drinking is life’s greatest pleasures. How could it be ignored? We practice the difficult path of cultivation, why couldn’t we eat and drink? That’s a boring life.”

When he heard the old man, Zhao Hai stared for a moment before he laughed, “Right, right. Old Master is correct. If we cannot eat and drink after cultivation, then there’s no purpose to life.” Then the two couldn’t help but laugh.

At this time, the Seventh Young Master came carrying a tray in his hand. On it were four plates of dishes. The dishes weren’t particularly high-end. But from its appearance and smell, it was bound to be very good.

After the dishes were laid down, the Seventh Young master bowed to the old man and said, “Second Grandfather, enjoy.”

The old man nodded and said, “Go and bring me the wine I left here.” When the Seventh Young Master heard the old man, he couldn’t help but be shocked. Then he turned and looked at Zhao Hai for a while before walking away.

The old man didn’t mind the Seventh Young Master’s reaction. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, “This old man is happy today. Little Friend, share a couple of drinks with me. This old man enjoys tea and wine. I usually leave two jars of good wine in this store. Little Friend, do you understand wine?”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “This one also has a few good jars of wine. Why don’t we taste them first?”

Hearing Zhao Hai, the old man stared, then he laughed and said, “Alright. Let’s taste your wine first.” Zhao Hai smiled faintly. Then he turned his hand and two jars of wine appeared in front of him. The two jars were still covered with soil. The old man couldn’t help but turn serious. These jars were placed in a spatial item, so there was almost no flow of time. Even if the wine looks like it has been dug out of the earth, there was nothing surprising about it.

However, the old man still had a trace of expectation regarding Zhao Hai’s wine. Good wine must be stored in jars. And the longer it was stored, the more fragrant it would be.

Zhao Hai removed the mud seal on the wine and a very strong aroma spread. Zhao Hai picked up new chopsticks and reached them into the wine jar. He twisted his chopsticks gently. When it came out, there was a layer of jelly on it.

Zhao Hai handed the chopsticks to the old man and said, “This wine jelly can be diluted with other wines. But before we dilute it, Old Master should taste it first. See if you like its raw flavor.”

The old man looked at the liquor jelly on Zhao Hai’s chopsticks and couldn’t help but be excited. He received the chopsticks and placed them under his nose. After taking a long whiff, he tasted the jelly. The old man closed his eyes and an infatuated expression appeared on his face.

After some time, the old man opened his eyes and removed the chopsticks from his mouth. He let out a long breath and said, “Nice wine, nice wine!”

At this time, the Seventh Young Master walked over with two jars of wine. When he saw the two jars of wine on the table, he couldn’t help but be stunned. Then he looked at the old man.

The old man beckoned him over and said, “Take these two jars of wine. Dilute the first jar with 50 catties (25 kg) of wine. Remember, use the best wine in the store to dilute it.”

The Seventh Young Master stared but then complied. He put the two jars on the tray down and then took Zhao Hai’s two jars before leaving. The old man picked up one jar and slapped its mud seal open. He looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, “This wine is far from your wine, but let’s drink it first. After a while, when your wine is ready, we’ll drink it. Come, Little Friend, let’s drink this wine together.” As he spoke, he served Zhao Hai a cup and then raised his own cup as an invitation.

Zhao Hai held his wine up and said, “It’s rare for me to meet the Old Master. We must drink a few cups today. Old Master, please.” The two of them clinked their cups and drank the wine in one go.

At this time, a man walked in from outside. He arrived at the side of the old man and then bowed. Then he took out a piece of jade and handed it over to the old man. The old man didn’t say anything. He took the jade slip and waved his hand. The man didn’t say a word, he turned around and left silently.

The old man searched the jade with his spiritual force and nodded. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, “So Little Friend is actually the Tyrant Blade Sect’s Zhao Hai. Little Friend’s name is like thunder reverberating on one’s ears.”

Zhao Hai has long known that the old man was checking up on him. He also knows of his status. With the Great Long Clan’s ability, secrets were rarely kept from them. Therefore, he wasn’t surprised. He just smiled faintly and said, “I’ve made the Old Master laugh. My trivial reputation isn’t worth mentioning. I came out this time for a trial, so I hid my name. I hope the Old Master isn’t offended.”

The old man laughed and said, “It’s not strange at all. Trials are a normal thing. By the way, your masters are the Yin Yang Blades right? This old man has some friendship with them. When you go back, tell them that the old man Long Tian is asking about them. Ask them why they didn’t visit me for so long.”

Hearing the old man, Zhao Hai quickly replied, “It turns out the Old Master is familiar with my masters. I have been disrespectful. I will certainly carry Old Master’s words back.”

Long Tian chuckled, “There’s no need to be so serious. You’re quite pleasing to this old man’s eyes. It’s nothing to do with those two Yin Yang boys. But since this is the case, there’s no issue with you joining the Long Clan. Those old men from the Tyrant Blade Sect would certainly give me some face.”

Zhao Hai stared, then his heart moved. He knew that the old men from the Tyrant Blade Sect that Long Tian referred to were not the Yin Yang Elders. When he talked about the Yin Yang Elders, Long Tian seemed to be talking about two kids. It seems like Long Tian was referring to the Supreme Elder-level figures of the Tyrant Blade Sect.

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “If the sect approves, then I’ll accept the Old Master’s invitation and join the Long Clan. However, I have something to say first. The Tyrant Blade Sect has treated me well. If the sect needs my help, then I will definitely do my best to lend a hand.”

Long Tian nodded, “That’s natural. We won’t force you to quit the Tyrant Blade Sect, you are still the sect’s disciple. But at the same time, you will also be a member of our Long Clan. We have no conflicts with your sect, you don’t have to worry.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Then that would be best.”

Long Tian looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, “You’re a good kid. The Tyrant Blade Sect is very lucky to get you. Come, let’s drink.” Zhao Hai raised his cup and then drank it all.

Before long, the Seventh Young Master arrived at Zhao Hai’s table. Then he looked at the old man and said, “Second Grandfather, the wine has been dissolved. Do you want me to bring it over?”

Long Tian nodded, “Bring it over. Right, send some dishes as well. Let it be quick.” The Seventh Young Master complied and then left. Before long, a pot of wine was brought over along with several dishes.

Zhao Hai picked the wine jar and poured a cup of wine for Long Tian. He also poured himself another cup. Then he raised his cup and said, “Old Master, cheers.” Long Tian also raised his cup and said, “Cheers.” Then they drank the wine in their cup.

The two looked like drinking mates as they drank happily. The more they drank the happier they became. In the end, neither knew how much wine they consumed. When it was dark and the street was finally empty, the two left the restaurant.

When Zhao Hai returned to the inn, he saw Chen Feng waiting for him. Chen Feng immediately pulled Zhao Hai to his room. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Zhao, what did you do today? Why did that old man ask you for a drink?”

Hearing Chen Feng, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile. Then he told Chen Feng about what he did. Naturally, he didn’t mention the identity of the old man. He was afraid of scaring Chen Feng. Also, nobody else revealed the identity of the old man. Even if Chen Feng inquired, he would have nobody to ask. Coiling Dragon was the territory of the Long Clan, snooping around about the clan members wasn’t a good idea.

As soon as Zhao Hai finished speaking, Chen Feng couldn’t help but clap his hands and said, “Good. Good. It seems like you don’t have to rely on me to join the Long Clan. But three days later, you still have to go with me to attend the Clan Head’s birthday. With this, your status in the Long Clan wouldn’t be low.”

Zhao Hai smiled and didn’t say anything. He still can’t figure out what kind of influence the Long Clan was. But he just found out that the Yin Yang Elders and the Tyrant Blade Sect were aware of the clan’s existence. It seems like the two didn’t have any conflict, which was what mattered the most.

After talking with Chen Feng, Zhao Hai returned to his own room. When he was inside, Zhao Hai immediately took his communicator out and called the Yin Yang Elders.

The Yin Yang Elders hardly slept. Their current duty was controlling their murderous aura and building their willpower. Therefore, they weren’t busy most of the time.

The Yin Yang Elders quickly appeared on Zhao Hai’s communicator. The Yin Elder had a frown on his face as he asked, “Little Hai, what’s the matter? You actually called us this late.”

Zhao Hai immediately replied, “Master, I arrived at a clan territory today. They call themselves the Long Clan. I happened to meet an old man named Long Tian. He told me to ask you why you haven’t visited him in a long time. Master, do you know the Long Clan?”

When they heard Zhao Hai, the Yin Yang Elders couldn’t help but stare. Then their complexion changed. The Yang Elder anxiously asked, “You went to the Long Clan, and you even met Long Tian? Are you telling the truth?”

Zhao Hai looked at the two and confirmed that they knew Long Tian. He nodded and said, “Yes Master. I was in Roaring Flames City under the alias of Zhao Ming. Then I joined a small gang. Afterwards, I met a shopkeeper of a business belonging to the Long Clan. The Clan Head’s birthday was coming up, so the shopkeeper brought me with him. In the end, I met Long Tian and shared some wine with him.”

The Yin Yang Elders couldn’t help but exclaim at the same time, “Drink? You drank with Long Tian?”

Zhao Hai nodded, “I drank wine with Long Tian. He also asked me to join the Long Clan. He said that the sect would definitely agree. Masters, will the sect agree?”

The Yin Yang Elders didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Then the Yin Elder smiled bitterly and said, “Agree, of course the sect will agree. Little Hai, if the Long Clan really invites you, then you can join. As for the other things about the Long Clan, you shouldn’t ask what you shouldn’t know.”

Zhao Hai stared, then he nodded and said, “Yes Master, I understand.” From what he heard, Zhao Hai understood that the Long Clan wasn’t simple. Otherwise, the Yin Yang Elders wouldn’t have such a response.

This made Zhao Hai even more curious about the Long Clan. He wanted to know the clan’s origins. He wanted to know why the Yin Yang Elders were so surprised when they heard that he was going to join the clan. The Yin Yang Elders rarely hid anything from him, but they concealed the clan’s matters to him.

After chatting with the Yin Yang Elders, it was obvious to Zhao Hai that the Yin Yang Elders attached great importance to the Long Clan. They also implied that he should get along well with the people of the Long Clan. Although they didn’t say much about the clan, their attitude told Zhao Hai plenty of things. It seems like the Tyrant Blade Sect couldn’t provoke the Long Clan.

The next morning, just as Zhao Hai had his breakfast, he heard a loud laugh from outside the door. Then Long Tian walked in and said, “You’re done eating. Good, good. Come with me to see the children practice martial arts.”

Zhao Hai cupped his fist and then walked out with the old man. Before long the two arrived at a small square. There were plenty of children practicing their punches. Zhao Hai also saw children that he met the day before. When they launched their fists, they used the method that Zhao Hai taught them. This caused their aura to be fuller and imposing.

Long Tian stood on the side and looked at the children. His eyes showed affection as he said, “These little fellows are the future of the Long Clan. Little Brother, you helped us a lot this time. With your method, these little fellows would achieve higher achievements in their martial arts.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “They are good kids. Just like Long Shan, as soon as they heard that the method could make their punches better, they learned it immediately. This shows that they were earnest in learning boxing. However, their previous exercises were too boring, so they didn’t like it. My method only played a supporting role. It’s the kids that made a major contribution.”
