Chapter 1148 Guests Come in Continuous Crowds

“Master.”

Seeing John Doe, He Gaoming hurried out to greet him.

“The oldest.”

Everyone greeted him with a smile.

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded happily. “Wulin people have a habit of drinking. For example, all of you are used to drinking. Out of habit, you will imbibe one to two catties at a meal, and some even need to drink three to five catties. Our Heaven Dew is far superior to other ordinary liquors. It will be the highest grade of liquor that Wulin people yearn for day and night. If it were you, would you only order ten catties?”

“What he said makes sense!” Everyone thought after hearing his easy-to-understand analysis.

“Even though Heaven Dew is hard liquor, ten catties will really not be enough if I drink the same amount as usual. After two days, I will drool over the ten empty jars.”

He Gaoming nodded and said.

“There are many rich people in Wulin, and many more are willing to spend money on good liquor.”

Fang Qiu smiled and announced to everyone, “So, in my opinion, each person will order at least 100 jars!”

“That’s right.”

……

One of them stepped forward and said, “I will rush out to buy 1,000 catties first. I have to say the jar for one catty looks so small. It’s just a small bottle. 1,000 catties equal 1,000 bottles. They’re not enough for me to drink for a year if I take three bottles a day.

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

They had guessed each of them would get ten catties. But after discussion, they thought ten jars were not enough. However, 1,000 catties per person sounded a little overboard. After a more accurate estimation, they thought the number should be 100 catties, a practical number that John Doe had suggested.

In two days, they worked all out and finished all the preparations for the party in the inn.

On the third day, it was the wine tasting party.

…

The inn was located in an ancient town at the foot of Mount Hua.

There were many ancient buildings in this town, and the inn rented by He Gaoming was one of them. They even put up the directional signs for John Doe’s wine party at the gate for all the Wulin guests they had invited.

Although it was only eight o’clock in the morning, some people from Wulin had already made their way there.

“Excuse me, is this in the venue for John Doe’s wine party?”

When a martial arts practitioner saw the sign, he immediately walked into the inn and asked the two brothers guarding the door.

“Yes, that’s right, come in, please.”

One of the two guards nodded and added, “We are not providing any food today. The wine tasting party will start at 7 p.m., so you should eat something first.”

“No need.”

The man waved his hand carelessly and said, “Could I come in and get a seat? Many others will flock here tonight, so I’d better reserve my seat first.”

They didn’t stop him and let him in.

The man entered the inn.

Only then did he see how spacious the inn was!

From the inn’s furnishings, he learned that its interior space was divided into several sections.

The inn’s hall was circular, with a staircase in the middle leading directly to the second floor, where there were many tables and chairs.

There was a plaque at the head of the stairs which read: VIP Area!

The VIP area on the second floor, without a doubt, was for all the major forces in Wulin.

In the center of the hall, there was also a plaque that read: Invitation Area.

There were also many tables and chairs in this area.

However, to accommodate as many people as possible, the tables in this area were long tables with benches arranged in rows, not like the round tables on the second floor.

The man looked around.

There were many stools around the area and there were no signages, which meant it must have been prepared for the onlookers.

The man chose a relatively good position and quickly sat down in place.

.

After a while, more guests came, one after another.

These people were willing to skip a meal in order to get a good seat. Each one who arrived early would choose and then occupy a seat in a good position. Those brothers who were serving the others just watched them pick their seats and didn’t say anything.

At noon, John Doe came out.

As soon as he entered, he saw that half of the hall was already occupied, he was a little stunned. It had never occurred to him that so many people would come in the morning.

Seeing John Doe, all those Wulin practitioners sitting in the hall stood up and cupped their hands as they greeted him.

As Fang Qiu came downstairs, he returned their greetings and said, “I hate to be a bad host, but we can’t serve any meals to you because there are too many guests.”

“It’s fine.”

“It’s just a meal. I’m on a diet.”

“It’s good enough to have a seat.”

Everyone responded with a smile.

After exchanging greetings, Fang Qiu went to the door to welcome the guests.

Although John Doe was well known in Wulin, as the party’s organizer, Fang Qiu kept a low profile and was not as wildly arrogant as before. Today, he was gentle and affable to everyone.

At the door, He Gaoming, who followed behind Fang Qiu, introduced every guest from Wulin to him.

In less than an hour, all the seats on four sides of the hall were taken.

In this case, the other Wulin people who came to watch the fun were no longer allowed to enter the inn.

Before long, a great crowd from Wulin gathered outside the inn.

They also wanted to go in.

But when they saw that the hall was full, they were in despair!

Many of these people were livestreamers who were eager to do their livestreaming here. Unfortunately, they came too late and could not get a seat inside. They had no choice but to livestream from outside the inn.

Fang Qiu didn’t take any action to manage those livestreamers. He just asked his brothers to inform all the people in the inn that they were not allowed to take photos or do livestreaming inside the inn. Anyone who violated this regulation would be driven out of the inn immediately.

Fang Qiu was not against livestreaming. Actually, he thought that livestreamers could help advertise their products.

But…

Those invited guests were from the top forces in Wulin. Fang Qiu and his brothers might accept the livestreamers, but it didn’t mean their guests would.

To let everyone enjoy this wine party, Fang Qiu wanted everything to be perfect!

At this moment, someone had started the livestream on a newly-developed livestream site on the Wulin online forum.

“John Doe’s Wine Tasting Party!”

The title for the livestream was very straightforward.

As soon as the livestream started, it lured hundreds of thousands of people to watch the party at the same time.

With so many viewers watching the livestream, it proved the wine party enjoyed great popularity. After all, the number of Wulin people was limited,

The livestreamer was working outside the inn, so his camera could only focus on a sea of heads.

…

“Someone, someone’s coming.”

Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly.

Everyone immediately turned around at the same time.

A group of people were coming from a distance.

Taking a closer look, some people recognized the leader Mu Rufeng. He was the third expert on the Young and Talented Martial Arts Practitioner List!

Beside him were Feng Yiming, who ranked fourth, and Chen Yunzhu, who ranked fifth.

“They’re the top ten young experts.”

A man in the crowd shouted loudly.

Fang Qiu knew them all.

Therefore, He Gaoming didn’t need to introduce them to him.

They were said to be ten top experts, but there were only seven of them.

John Doe, Yun Yangzi, and Diwu Qian were not there. Yu Yuanhao of Luo Yin Sect, who was originally ranked sixth, had been deposed, but John Doe emerged and filled the gap.

Although their strength had far exceeded the range of the honorable list for young people, John Doe, Yun Yangzi, and Diwu Qian belonged to the younger generation in Wulin, so they remained on the list.

Seven experts arrived.

“Brother John Doe.”

The leader, Mu Rufeng, stepped forward with a smile, cupped his hands and greeted Fang Qiu.

He looked much more mature than before.

“Welcome, welcome.”

In return, Fang Qiu saluted and said, “Thank you for coming all the way here. Many thanks for your support.”

“Ha-ha, it’s rare for you to send out an invitation. How could we not turn up?”

Chen Yunzhu said jokingly.

“I’m sure you won’t be disappointed at this party.”

Fang Qiu laughed loudly. He then stretched out his hand in the direction of the inn and said, “Everyone, please.”

These people had received invitations.

Fang Qiu then personally led them into the inn and ushered them to their seats in the guest area.

Seeing that the inn was already packed on all sides, Mu Rufeng and the others couldn’t help sighing with emotion. “There are so many people here.”

After settling the seven people, Fang Qiu walked back to the door again and continued to greet the others.

Soon, three people appeared.

The group who just arrived were the younger generation of the top forces in Wulin: Diwu Qian, Xi Shaolin, Qian Xiao, Zhan Lin, and Yun Yangzi.

They belonged to the four great families and the Pear Garden!

“Brother John Doe, long time no see.”

Yun Yangzi took the lead and greeted him.

“Everyone, long time no see.”

Fang Qiu also hurriedly greeted them and said, “It’s my honor that you are here on behalf of the four great families and the Pear Garden.”

“Is there really top-class liquor at your wine tasting party?”

Diwu Qian asked curiously.

“Of course.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

“I hope it’s good enough. Our old master was so drawn to your best quality liquor that he insisted I should come and try it no matter what. Please don’t let him down,” Zhan Lin said.

“I never let people down.”

Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.

“I appreciate your confidence.”

Yun Yangzi laughed heartily and said, “The elders are behind us. Since you have prepared superb liquor, I have to taste it today.”

“Brother John Doe.”

Xi Shaolin approached John Doe and said, “My mother gave up drinking many years ago, so I am here on her behalf. I hope you don’t mind.”

“I’m honored to have you here.”

Fang Qiu answered, then pointed to the inn and said, “Please.”

With that, he led them in.

He took them to the VIP area on the second floor.

Fang Qiu had prepared a table for each force beforehand, so everyone sat separately at their seats.

Then, Fang Qiu went back to the door again to welcome other guests.

Not long after, another person turned up.

The appearance of this person immediately caused an uproar among the people at the scene.

“Sword Fanatic! He is Sword Fanatic!”

“So cool.”

“A maverick indeed.”

“I didn’t expect Sword Fanatic to turn up.”

“He is obsessed with the cultivation of the Tao of the sword almost every single day. He has never accepted any invitations, but he is here today. John Doe’s invitation must be highly persuasive.”

“Sure. I suppose Sword Fanatic doesn’t want to admit his defeat to John Doe.”

Outside the inn, everyone was talking about him.

“Senior.”

Fang Qiu, seeing Sword Fanatic, immediately greeted him with a warm welcome.

“Senior? Who is your senior?”

Sword Fanatic glared at Fang Qiu and said, “I lost in swordsmanship skills to you. How can I be your senior?”

“Er…”

Fang Qiu was stunned, and then he hurriedly changed his way of calling him. “Elder Brother.”

“Well, that sounds better.”

Sword Fanatic nodded with satisfaction and went in directly without waiting for Fang Qiu’s invitation.

Fang Qiu led him to the table reserved for him on the second floor.

Afterward, those cultivators, according to the Wulin online forum, who had great strength but did not belong to any force also came one by one. A few were familiar with Sword Fanatic, who then shared his table with them.
