Story (Event)[]

'... That night was a red night. Hundreds of Black Sword Sect were killed. And it's said their lead Fei Xingzhi happened to be traveling outside and escaped the disaster.'
'Black Sword is a righteous sect. Who would do such an atrocity?'
'A big wind catches more wind. Such things happen...'
The two men in the tavern look worried. And by the table on another corner, a man in indigo clothes pours a cup of wine and looks at the rippling liquor in the cup before drinking it.
'Master, have you heard about the name of Drunk God?'
'The swordsman whose fame rose rapidly in jianghu? I heard that he's got good moves with an unruly temper. Days before, he whipped the little son of Minister Peng on the street.'
'The little son of Minister Peng is literally a devil. He deserved it...'
As the wine is emptied, the man in indigo clothes leaves the money on the table and walks out of the tavern.
— Empty Cup

By the river bank, the man in indigo walks randomly, lost in his thought.
Suddenly, he smells an exceptionally rich aroma of a wine. He looks to it and finds a banner 'Mayor Palace' hanging high from the grand gateway.
'The lord of City Jin is a famous wine collector. How big would his collection...'
He thinks for a while then smiles.
He takes a breath and leaps, then the indigo figure gets on the walls and disappears.
— Tread Alone

The peach flowers are in full blossom in the yard. A whole tree of flowers looks so luxurious.
A young girl in a pink shirt is sitting in the yard, reading a book and not noticing the flowers falling in her hair.
He sees the girl's portrait on the walls. Against the background of the peach flowers, she seems to be in a pure halo.
And when she turns to look at him, it feels like something is plucked deep in his heart. Fei cannot tell what is that.
Like flower first bloom in the spring. Like a new moon rises in the night.
Lost for a moment, he then laughs out loud. Being found as a burglar turns into something interesting.
'A nice one, young lady. May I have your name?'
— Drink for the World

Then he knows her name is Jiang Wan. She is the daughter of City Jin's Mayor.
They made a bet with the Orchid Nectar brewed by the city mayor himself. It's said that the wine is so rich that only a sip will last very long.
A line of poem is written on the plain white handkerchief. It's a riddle about where the wine is kept. Find the Orchid Nectar in 3 days and Fei will be the winner.
And if he loses, he will fulfill a request of Jiang Wan.
'By the dusk the rain picks up, under the willow we parted the way.'
Fei lowers his head and sniffs. The ink aroma mixed with light flower fragrance still lingers.
— Tipsy in Ink

Three days later.
Fei solved the riddle. 'By the dusk the rain picks up, under the willow we parted the way.' Two lines from two poems form 'Red Rain' by combining the alliteration and end rhyme.
'As the youth leaves like a sunset, the peach flower falls like red rain. Red rain is the peach flowers, so the wine must be stored under the peach tree. Am I right?'
The girl is stunned, obviously not foreseeing this result. She smiles again after thinking for a while.
'Then, young hero, do you know which peach tree is it?'
Fei Xingzhi looks around at the peach trees in the yard and sighs, his attention attracted by the girl all the time.
The delicate lip traces a beautiful curve and her pale cheeks look quite vivid due to her successful trick.
— Free Traveler

Fei Xingzhi lost.
He is not upset, instead, he starts wondering what kind of request will Jiang Wan make.
'I want to see the sunrise.' The girl looks at Fei. Like there is a mist between them, he cannot see her thoughts clearly.
He stays outside the wall with a horse. A rustling sound comes from above. It's the girl climbing onto the wall.
He laughs as he opens his arms to her. She then jumps down.
That moment, Fei's embrace is filled with fragrance.
— Heroes Never Alone

Over the mountains, the sunshine casts on the forehead of the girl, cover her sickly face with a layer of warmth.
'I only saw such a beautiful scene in the books. Thank you.' She turns to say.
Looking at her fluttering hair in the mountain wind, he clenches his fist, seemingly trying to seize something.
They didn't talk, only watched the fog dispersed and the sunshine dyed the mountains golden.
Perhaps it's the cool wind that blows away all the tough past.
Fei Xingzhi thought of nothing at that moment.
He only wished for one thing...
That time could have passed slower, stop even.
— Away with Moon
