A Drink for You

Synopsis saved as a screenshot on 2025.05.27

The land is full of gallant heroes, roaming the world with swords in hand.

A swift-blade heir strikes like lightning, laughing as fortunes shift and lives are decided.

The greatest assassin's sword cuts through yin and yang, striking fear into the King of Hell himself.

The master of the Golden Jade Hall cultivates the Way through music, his sound stilling wild geese and bringing order to the world.

Gu Pan never claimed to be a good person, but he never did anything against his conscience, either. He had traveled across the land for over twenty years, seeking vengeance for those who had been wronged and lending a hand when no grievance was involved.

After so many fights, it was inevitable he would be ambushed. Outnumbered five to one, he crippled four and left the last one to flee. The fugitive charged through the street stalls, but a young doctor killed him on the spot.

"Thank you."

Gu Pan arrived too late to do anything but clasp his hands in thanks.

"I'm Gu Pan. The Pan in the name of the judge who punishes the Five Ghosts."

"I'm Song Jiu. I'm also the ninth child in my family."

The young man returned the salute with a smile.

"I've heard much about you. Let me buy you a drink, Brother Gu."

*

Fine wine from Xinfeng, worth ten thousand coins a jar; how many young swordsmen roam Xianyang?

When kindred spirits meet, they drink together, tying their horses beneath the willows beside a lofty tavern.
