The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 562: Rose

Inside the Immortal's Wine Store

"Greetings, Wine God Jiu Shen." A woman with beautiful facial features and elegant bearing bowed at him with a look of admiration on her face.

Jiu Shen smiled at her and pointed at a seat in front of him. "No need for formalities. What's your name?"

The woman didn't dare to sit casually and postured herself humbly on her seat. She then adjusted her light blue dress and responded with a smile. "My name is Rose. I'm an adopted daughter of Her Highness Elena."

Jiu Shen was inwardly surprised when he heard her introduction. Elena actually had an adopted daughter!

"Oh? Elena didn't mention that she has a daughter. How surprising." Jiu Shen honestly told her his feelings.

Rose's face lit up when she realized that the man in front of her was more amiable than she had thought. "Her Highness Elena didn't marry someone, but she has the responsibility to train an heir for the Ancient Fairies. I was the most talented in the younger generation of Ancient Fairies despite being an orphan. When Her Highness heard about me from the others, Her Highness looked for me and took me as her adopted daughter."

This was a woman with a story.

It was great that she was adopted by Elena and from her expression, she seemed to be happy in her life.

"Elena is truly a kind lady." Jiu Shen muttered as he leaned on his chair.

Rose nodded her head exaggeratedly.

"Young Miss Rose, you can join the others in the celebration."

Rose stood up after getting the signal to leave. "Thank you for having me, Wine God Jiu Shen." She bowed before leaving the dragon building.

"Ren Shuang." Jiu Shen called out.

Swoosh!

A shadow silently appeared behind him.

"Make sure that nothing goes wrong in the celebration. You can mobilize the Punishment Division and the Blood Sword Division to monitor the safety of everyone inside the city. Also, tell Marbas to come here." Jiu Shen muttered in a calm voice.

The former itinerant cultivator, Marbas was very useful during the last five months. He united the itinerant cultivators and the scattered major powers of the Heavenly Sword Region. His talents in management and diplomacy were revealed and even Jiu Shen was pleasantly surprised by the old man's abilities.

"I understand." Ren Shuang bowed and left silently.

***

At the center of Sword City, there was a huge platform with bards singing and dancers showing their exquisite moves.

Delicious food and beverages were being distributed by the members of the Heavenly Sword Tower to the people.

Everyone wore smiles on their faces as they chatted excitedly with their friends.

An old man with long white hair was surrounded by a group of nobles. The nobles were flattering the old man with their words and some of them even offered him valuable gifts. This old man was Marbas, the newest Elder of the Heavenly Sword Tower.

"Thank you, everyone!" Marbas was all smiles as he swept his gaze towards the group of nobles around him. He thought that this scene was impossible for someone of his standing, but everything was already happening in front of him. He knew that this was only possible because of one person and he praised himself for being smart back then.

"Lord Marbas, I hope that you can put in a good word to the Division Heads of the Heavenly Sword Tower on my behalf. The Alfara Family will be your friends from now on!"

"Lord Marbas, my son wants to join the Heavenly Sword Tower..."

"Lord Marbas..."

Suddenly, he felt a strong presence behind him. Marbas ignored the nobles and turned his gaze.

There were two individuals looking at him calmly. One was a man with long wavy hair with two swords behind his back. The other one was a young man with sharp facial features. When he saw them, he immediately cupped his hands and greeted them in a respectful voice. "Greetings, Division Head Ren Shuang and Division Head Yang Zenke!"

When the group of nobles heard this, they paled in fright and they immediately kneeled as they greeted. "Greetings, Division Head Ren Shuang and Division Head Yang Zenke!"

These two were Division Heads of the Heavenly Sword Tower! Their authority was only beneath Sect Master Jiu Shen, Vice Sect Master Theia, and Grand Elder Jian Wang!

While facing these two high-ranking Division Heads, the noble family heads didn't even dare lift their heads.

The crowd around them also noticed the disturbance and they immediately prostrated when they saw that the two men were wearing the exclusive robes used only by the Division Heads of the Heavenly Sword Tower.

"Marbas, the Sect Master wants to see you. He is inside the dragon building." The man with long wavy black hair said in a cold voice.

Marbas shivered when he sensed the coldness in his tone. He was still a new member of the sword tower so the others didn't approve of him yet. "I'll be there immediately!" He answered right away.

"Don't make him wait!" The young Division Head spat out before he left with the other Division Head.

When the two left, Marbas and the others heaved sighs of relief. The pressure that they exuded was fearsome!

"How strong!"

"Of course! Those two are Division Head Ren Shuang from the Punishment Division and Division Head Yang Zenke of the Blood Sword Division. The two of them are among the strongest members of the Heavenly Sword Tower!" Marbas wiped the sweat on his forehead as he explained to the crowd.

"So that's the case! I heard that Division Head Yang Zenke led the Blood Sword Division in wiping out the bandits and criminals hiding in the Heavenly Sword Region!"

"What a terrifying individual!"

Marbas glanced at the noble family heads and put on an apologetic look as he said. "Excuse me, everyone. The Sect Master has summoned me. We'll continue our talk at a later time."

"No problem, Lord Marbas!"

"Sure! Go ahead, Lord Marbas!"
