Chapter 467: Yu Luo Feels Like Her Brain Isn’t Working
“This wine is brewed in Luo City using five different grains. It has a rich aroma, a smooth taste, but a strong potency. Compared to regular wine, it gets people drunk more easily, making it perfect for drinking in our harsh and cold lands, especially during the winter.”
Yu Haojie held up the bottle of Wuliangye that Yu Luo had swapped and proudly introduced it to Xiahou Feng. His expression showed not a hint of guilt as he looked at Yu Luo, holding back the urge to laugh.
“Refreshing!”
Xiahou Feng downed the drink in one gulp. The rich aroma lingered on his tongue, and his stomach burned like fire!
Slamming the cup down, he exaggeratedly shouted in praise, making Yu Haojie even more pleased with himself.
“This is indeed fine wine, but it’s too strong. Since it’s the Zhan Nan King’s first time drinking it, I advise you not to overindulge. Today, three more cups at most, or else I fear that as a newcomer, you’ll only end up drunk. When you return to Dongfeng, I’ll prepare a few bottles for you so you can enjoy them at leisure.”
Seeing Xiahou Feng down the drink so quickly, Yu Haojie was genuinely a little worried.
After all, in this era, the strongest liquor barely reached 30% alcohol, and this one was much stronger. He was truly afraid that Xiahou Feng might get into trouble drinking it.
If anyone else had said this, Xiahou Feng might have thought they were underestimating his drinking ability.
“If the Zhan Nan King enjoys it, perhaps you could send a trusted servant to learn some of our signature dishes from our kitchen. Normally, we don’t share our recipes, but since you might be my mother’s elder brother, we wouldn’t be stingy.”
Xiahou Feng spoke with firm conviction, his gaze once again landing on Ye Jiamei’s face.
“Just one look, and I can tell—you must be my biological sister. There’s no doubt about it.”
“Tasting these dishes today, I’ve realized that all these years, I’ve been eating pig feed! Who would’ve thought that in this remote land, there exists a hidden paradise? The food here surpasses even the imperial kitchen.”
He had originally been focused on reuniting with his family, but this table full of delicacies had completely distracted him from his main purpose!
Yu Haojie’s words clearly weren’t meant to insult his drinking capacity—it was clear he was genuinely concerned for his well-being.
Hearing this, Yu Haojie was momentarily stunned.
“Of course, that’s true!”
One cup of wine had already shocked Xiahou Feng, but when he tasted the dishes on the table—dishes he had never experienced before—he realized just how incompetent the chefs in his palace were!
Thinking about Luo City’s plan to use gourmet food to attract visitors from all over, Xiahou Feng’s request left Yu Haojie unsure of how to respond.
Looking up at Yu Haojie, Xiahou Feng asked bluntly, “Would your kitchen staff be willing to pass on their skills? After tasting your food, I doubt I’ll be able to stomach the dishes made by my palace chefs when I return!”
But now…
If nothing unexpected happened, Yu Haojie would be his brother-in-law.
Sighing, Xiahou Feng said, “All these years, I let you suffer outside. As your older brother, I am truly ashamed. Had I known my sister was still alive, I would have torn through the Lan Yue Dynasty to bring you back to Dongfeng. But at least you have Yu Haojie, a good husband. Seeing how happy your family is, I feel relieved.”
Honestly, even without DNA evidence, just looking at Ye Jiamei and her family, he was already convinced.
Watching Xiahou Feng suddenly grow sentimental, Yu Luo couldn’t help but recall his true purpose for coming to Luo City, as well as the day she brought A Yan back from the Feng City auction.
Back then, when A Yan had first woken up in the manor, he had grabbed her mother’s hand and called her “Second Sister.”
Thinking about it now, could A Yan actually be the person Xiahou Feng was looking for?
But wait—Xiahou Feng said he was searching for his older brother. However, her mother was supposed to be his younger sister…
The thought made Yu Luo feel like her brain wasn’t functioning properly.
“Zhan Nan King, didn’t I mention that I was present at the auction that day?”
Yu Luo suddenly spoke up. Xiahou Feng snapped back to reality, his nerves tensing as he turned to look at her.
“Miss Yu, do you… do you have a lead on my brother?”
“Zhan Nan King, don’t get too excited just yet. That day at the auction, I purchased a person. He had gone mad due to practicing inner energy techniques, losing both his memory and his temper. When I first brought him back, he was extremely aggressive. After taking some medicine, his temper stabilized, but his memory still hasn’t returned.”
“At the time, I suspected that the mysterious black iron sword being auctioned in Feng City might have belonged to him. Though it was never confirmed, I can bring him out for you to see. You can judge for yourself if he is truly the person you’re searching for.”
As soon as Yu Luo finished speaking, Xiahou Feng was no longer able to remain calm.
His face was filled with emotion, his eyes turning red. He nodded repeatedly but couldn’t form a single word.
Yu Luo immediately ordered a servant to bring A Yan over.
Once the servant left, Xiahou Feng wiped his eyes and turned back to Yu Luo and the couple at the table.
“When I saw the Taihe Azure Dragon Sword in Lu King’s hands, I assumed my brother was already dead. I never imagined I’d find a glimmer of hope here. And not only that, but I’ve also unexpectedly reunited with the sister I thought had long since passed away. Forgive me for losing control of my emotions.”
“There’s no need for formalities, Zhan Nan King,” Yu Haojie reassured him. “If we truly are family, then this is a joyous occasion. And if not, you are still the future father-in-law of Lu King and an esteemed guest of Luo City. There’s no need to stand on ceremony with us.”
Yu Haojie’s words gave Xiahou Feng some comfort.
As a battle-hardened general, he found it strange that he couldn’t contain his emotions in front of Yu Haojie’s family.
Before long, A Yan was brought in.
By now, A Yan was nothing like the man who had first arrived in Luo City. His unkempt beard had been shaved off, revealing a clean, youthful face.
In fact, as A Yan stepped forward, Yu Luo began to doubt herself.
Xiahou Feng was looking for an older brother, yet A Yan only appeared to be in his thirties. How could it possibly be him?
But just as Yu Luo was about to dismiss the idea as nonsense, Xiahou Feng suddenly shot up from his seat, stumbling forward in excitement.
The look of utter shock on his face made Yu Luo even more suspicious.
Could she have been wrong?
Was this man—who looked younger than Xiahou Feng—actually his older brother?
“Big Brother?!”
“A Feng?”
The moment A Yan called out “A Feng” and Xiahou Feng cried out “Big Brother,” Yu Luo completely lost her composure!
