The Wine House

The Wine House is a tavern, but it isn't just a tavern. It is one because it really does sell wine, and there are wine, food, and stories to be found within. It isn't one because it was originally an organization, a very mysterious one in the martial world, but not a particularly frightening one. At least, its name doesn't sound all that scary. Almost no one has ever heard of anyone from the Wine House committing evil deeds or killing someone they shouldn't have. That is, until the martial world began hunting Zhu Que.

Zhu Que is not the Vermilion Bird. His surname is Zhu, and his given name is Que. He is the son of Zhu Tiansheng of the Kunlun Sect, as well as the Cherished Flower Envoy of the Wine House's Smoke division. None of that matters. What matters is that the whole martial world is now hunting him, because he killed Liu Zhujun, son of Kunlun Sect leader Liu Tianyang, who was also his junior brother. But even that is secondary. The main reason is that he is a notorious womanizer, a lecher who commits sexual crimes under the banner of "cherishing flowers." Before the Kunlun Sect could take any action, young heroes from the major martial arts sects organized themselves and agreed to go after Zhu Que. They weren't heading to the Kunlun Sect, though. They were going to the Wine House.
