Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
"It took me a lot of effort to finally get my hands on a bottle. I've been saving it for years, and I can't bear to drink it myself. Now I'm bringing it here to thank Mr. Ye. Please, Mr. Ye, taste it."
After Huang Minghai finished speaking, he opened the wine bottle, took a glass, and poured Ye Feng a full glass.
"Would you two ladies like to try some?" Huang Minghai asked with a smile, looking at Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing.
Jiang Lingxuan immediately nodded repeatedly.
Sun Muqing wasn't particularly interested in alcohol, but Huang Minghai's exaggerated praise of this so-called six-star golden wine piqued her curiosity.
So Sun Muqing nodded somewhat shyly: "Then... I'll try a little bit too, just a tiny bit."
Huang Minghai then filled Jiang Lingxuan's and Sun Muqing's cups again.
Ye Feng picked up the bottle of popular Golden Wine that Huang Minghai had poured for himself, brought it to his nose, and took a light sniff.
The rich aroma of wine immediately filled the air, making the night breeze feel refreshed and relaxed.
"Good wine, indeed good wine," Ye Feng praised.
However, the smile on Ye Feng's face seemed to contain some inexplicable meaning.
"Patriarch Huang, this is such fine wine. You've treasured it for years and couldn't bear to drink it, yet now you're letting me taste it. Are you really willing to part with it?" Ye Feng said jokingly.
“Mr. Ye has done a great favor for my father and me, how could I possibly be reluctant to part with him?” Huang Minghai quickly said.
"In that case, I'll have a taste."
After saying this, Ye Feng prepared to drink the Six-Star Golden Wine in his hand in one gulp.
But at that moment, Huang Yue suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Ye Feng stopped what he was doing, smiled, and looked at Huang Yue, asking, "Miss Huang, do you have anything else to say?"
Huang Yue hesitated for a long time, but didn't say a word.
Huang Minghai glared at Huang Yue and said, "Mr. Ye is about to taste the wine, Yue'er, don't make a fuss and spoil his mood!"
"But...but..."
Huang Yue hesitated, her expression extremely conflicted.
"Miss Huang, are you reluctant to part with it? Surely not, it's just a glass of wine."
Jiang Lingxuan chuckled and picked up the wine in front of her.
Seeing that Jiang Lingxuan was about to drink the wine in one gulp, Huang Yue finally couldn't hold back and shouted, "Don't drink it! The wine is poisoned!"
Huang Minghai's face turned extremely pale.
Huang Yue then said, "Father, I really feel bad. Mr. Ye and the two heroines have done us a great favor. We can't disregard their lives for our own selfish reasons!"
"What...what nonsense are you talking about! I don't understand what you're saying!" Huang Minghai said angrily.
Huang Minghai then quickly looked at Ye Feng, Jiang Lingxuan, and Sun Muqing and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. How could there be poison in my wine? She might be delirious from her illness..."
"I'm not confused!"
Huang Yue's eyes were red-rimmed, and tears finally welled up in her eyes.
Then Huang Yue explained from beginning to end: "Mr. Ye, you don't know, two hours ago, Bai Taixing, the sect leader of the Medicine King Sect, found my father and me and asked us to set a trap to poison you. Although the poison in this wine is not fatal, after being poisoned, the flow of true qi will be obstructed, and you will definitely not be able to exert much of your strength."
"And Chang Qiuling, the disciple of the Medicine King Sect, will come to challenge you immediately. Regardless of whether you accept the challenge, Mr. Ye, he will forcefully attack and may even kill you on the spot!"
"My father and I were forced into this situation, so... But I've figured it out now. There are some things I can do, but there are some things I absolutely cannot do. Mr. Ye, you have been so kind to me, I absolutely cannot betray my conscience and kill you!"
At this moment, Huang Yue told everything, and Huang Minghai could no longer deny it.
Huang Minghai sighed deeply and knelt down in front of Ye Feng, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan with a dejected look on his face.
“I was the one who poisoned the wine, it has nothing to do with my daughter. Mr. Ye, you can kill me or torture me, just please spare my daughter, she is truly innocent.” Huang Minghai sighed, his expression so sorrowful.
Night Breeze smiled with satisfaction and put down the drink in his hand.
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing finally understood why Huang Yue had always seemed absent-minded since arriving at Fenglai Restaurant, and why she would often look like she wanted to say something but couldn't.
So that's what happened!
"How could the sect leader of the Medicine King Sect know that you have a close relationship with us? You wouldn't have revealed this relationship to the people of the Medicine King Sect, would you?" Jiang Lingxuan frowned.
"The Medicine King Sect investigated you. Although they couldn't find out your exact origins, they did find out that you came to Linghuang Island with us on Luo Sitong's ship. The Medicine King Sect arrested Luo Sitong and interrogated him, and he confessed everything," Huang Yue said, sobbing.
"The Medicine King Sect is truly disgusting. From disciples to elders to the sect leader, not a single one of them is any good!" Jiang Lingxuan said angrily.
Sun Muqing then looked at Ye Feng and asked, "So what do we do now? Ye Feng, Huang Yue reminded us in time, which means she realized her mistake. And although Patriarch Huang harbored evil intentions, he was doing it for his daughter's sake, otherwise..."
Sun Muqing stopped halfway through her speech, knowing that Ye Feng would understand what she meant.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Huang Yue is fine, but as for the Huang family head... hehe, he may be spared the death penalty, but he can't escape punishment."
"I am willing to be punished, I am willing to die," Huang Minghai said without hesitation.
"I'll spare your life since you've shown some sincerity, but you won't escape punishment..."
As Ye Feng spoke, he raised his right hand and cast a spell seal.
As soon as the curse mark landed on Huang Minghai's forehead, Huang Minghai let out a heart-wrenching scream and rolled on the ground in agony.
After a long while, Huang Minghai finally recovered, but he was now pale, covered in sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
"This curse is called the 'Strengthening Goodness Curse,' which forces the person under its influence to do good."
“Huang Minghai, from now on you must do one good deed every day, no matter how small, as long as it’s a good deed. After ten years, the curse will be lifted automatically. If you break it one day, you will suffer as much as you did just now,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
Huang Minghai breathed a sigh of relief.
Although doing at least one good deed every day is very troublesome, it's better than losing your life!
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for sparing my life..." Huang Minghai said solemnly as he knelt on the ground.
Outside the Phoenix Restaurant, Chang Qiuling and the other disciples of the Medicine King Sect had already heard Huang Minghai's screams.
"Oh no, Huang Minghai's plan has failed!" Chang Qiuling exclaimed angrily.
"So what do we do next?" a disciple of the Medicine King Sect immediately asked.
"The arrow is on the string and must be released, and that night wind may not be a match for me!"
As soon as Chang Qiuling finished speaking, she pounced over and quickly approached Fenglai Restaurant.
