The Strange Amnesiac Adventures of His Highness the Crown Prince (Part Two)

IT WAS THE MAN in red who had toasted him from afar earlier—and he’d sat down so casually right in front of Xie Lian.

Xie Lian blinked, and it took him a moment to be certain that this man was really talking to him. He immediately got ahold of himself—he couldn’t allow this man’s powerful presence to shake him.

Maintaining his calm, he politely replied, “Unfortunately, I abstain from alcohol. It seems I won’t be able to treat you to a cup.”

The man in red laughed aloud and got even more comfortable in his seat. “Is that right?” he said. “But, Daozhang, your face seems gripped by distress. Surely liquor would be helpful.”

“My lord must be mistaken,” Xie Lian stated without further reaction.

Although the most important precept of his cultivation method had been broken, he knew he mustn’t abandon his work and give up on the other, lesser precepts.

He had been distant and mild this whole time, but the man clearly had no intention of leaving. Instead, it seemed like he’d settled in.

“If Daozhang won’t treat me, then shall I help myself?”

Xie Lian glanced at him, then looked around. Weird—it wasn’t like there weren’t empty seats around, so why did he have to sit at his table to drink? There was no reason to refuse him this, however, so Xie Lian replied, “Go ahead.”

The man gave a lazy wave. The waiter at this restaurant had never encountered a patron of this caliber, and, hardly daring to breathe, he hurriedly brought over a flagon and cup and wiped the table vigorously for fear of mistreating the guest.

Seeing how relaxed and comfortable this man in red appeared as he drank by himself, Xie Lian couldn’t resist asking, “Does my lord ask everyone to treat you to a cup of wine when meeting for the first time?”

“Hmm? Oh, no,” the man said, grinning. “To tell you the truth, Daozhang, most people usually never even get to see my face.”

His tone was rather arrogant, but Xie Lian didn’t find it unpleasant.

They sat together, each in their own world. Xie Lian kept his eyes staring elsewhere, trying to appear wholly calm. After a while, the man spoke up once more.

With a hand still propping up his cheek, he said, “Might I ask your name, Daozhang? What shall I call you?”

Xie Lian made up a surname without much thought and replied, “My surname is Hua.”

The man raised an eyebrow. “Oh…Hua-daozhang.”

“What shall I call you, my lord?” Xie Lian asked.

“You can simply call me San Lang, Daozhang,” the man said.

Xie Lian could tell he didn’t want to give his real identity, and he wasn’t going to force the issue. He thought for a moment but couldn’t recall any notable characters who were ranked third in their family, so he stopped trying to figure it out.

Suddenly, he noticed that a lock of San Lang’s jet-black hair next to his cheek was tied into a thin braid. A red coral pearl was fastened at the end of it.
