Seeing Ma Xiangsheng pitifully begging him, and with so many people present tonight, if Ma Xiangsheng really died, even though there was no direct evidence to prove that he killed Ma Xiangsheng, it would still cause some trouble.

Besides, even if Ma Xiangsheng were spared his life, he would still be a cripple, which would be a huge lesson for him.

Liu Xiaoyuan is not the kind of ruthless person, but he is definitely not the kind of saintly, innocent good person either.

"Brother, senior, if you spare my life, I will follow your lead and do whatever you say..." Ma Xiangsheng pleaded, clinging to Liu Xiaoyuan's leg. His pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking.

Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Since that's the case, then I'll spare your life since you've been so obedient."

After a pause, Liu Xiaoyuan said to Zhang Chenhui beside him, "Hey, hurry up and drive to Jishantang to pick up Doctor Xiao Qingfeng."

Zhang Chenhui stared wide-eyed at Liu Xiaoyuan without moving. Seeing this, Ma Xiangsheng, who was clinging to Liu Xiaoyuan's leg, was furious: "Damn it, what are you standing there for? Get to Jishantang right now, get there right now!"

Ma Xiangsheng acted like a dutiful grandson in front of Liu Xiaoyuan, but in front of Zhang Chenhui and others, he still maintained the temperament of a master.

Zhang Chenhui was in pain all over and had no strength to drive. He looked at his father and said, "Dad, can you drive me there? I'm in pain all over."

Although Zhang Qing was hesitant, after witnessing Liu Xiaoyuan's prowess and considering that it was for the sake of saving Ma Xiangsheng, Zhang Qing had no choice but to go out.

After seeing Zhang Qing leave, Ma Xiangsheng immediately thanked Liu Xiaoyuan profusely, almost saying that Liu Xiaoyuan was his second parent.

"Shut up, you're making such a racket!" Liu Xiaoyuan glared at him and said.

Ma Xiangsheng immediately shut up obediently. Now, Liu Xiaoyuan's words were like imperial edicts to him. He would shut up if told to, and do whatever he was told to do.

Liu Xiaoyuan took out his phone and dialed Xiao Qingfeng's number. Upon seeing that it was Liu Xiaoyuan calling, Xiao Qingfeng immediately asked, "Young friend, what's the matter so late?"

"Here's the thing, Dr. Xiao, someone will be picking you up at Jishan Hall later. There's a guy here who was injured by the Transformation Qi, could you please come over?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingfeng immediately agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan said to Ma Xiangsheng, "Dr. Xiao has agreed."

"Thank you, elder brother, thank you, senior, thank you, elder brother..." Ma Xiangsheng kowtowed in gratitude.

Those present were speechless. This was a classic case of being sold out and then helping to count the money. Originally, Ma Xiangsheng's current predicament was all caused by Liu Xiaoyuan, but now, Ma Xiangsheng was even kowtowing and thanking Liu Xiaoyuan. This was truly something else.

Zhang Chenhui's villa was a bit far from Jishantang, so while Zhang Qing went to pick up Xiao Qingfeng, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't just sit around. Instead, he walked to the table, picked up a glass of wine, and smelled it, as if trying to determine the wine's origin and brand by its aroma.

Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan do this, some people couldn't help but think to themselves, "Damn it, what are you pretending to be, you country bumpkin? Go home and drink your rice wine. This kind of high-end red wine is not something you recognize."

Liu Xiaoyuan took a sniff of the red wine in the glass, but he couldn't really tell what it was. In his opinion, the red wine in the glass was no different from the red wine that cost tens of yuan a bottle on the street.

Drinking alcohol is like smoking; to those who don't understand it, they're pretty much the same.

Liu Xiaoyuan didn't understand this red wine, but there were plenty of people in the God-Level Invincible System who did.

Although those people didn't say anything, their eyes betrayed them deeply.

Since that's the case, then I'll show you what a true wine connoisseur is all about.

Liu Xiaoyuan immediately summoned a wine master through the God-level Invincible System. Once the wine master possessed him, Liu Xiaoyuan asked about the wine emanating from the glass and immediately knew where the wine originated and what year it was from.

After learning all the information about the wine, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't rush to reveal it, because doing so would greatly diminish its impact.

Pretending to be cool is actually an art, and to do it well requires advanced skills.

If Liu Xiaoyuan were to reveal the origin and name of the wine now, it would still surprise these people, but the effect would be greatly diminished.

The more these onlookers laugh, the harder they'll be slapped in the face later.

Liu Xiaoyuan picked up the wine and smelled it again, looking completely intoxicated. The disdainful onlookers around him, seeing Liu Xiaoyuan repeating his old trick, once again mocked him in their hearts, thinking that Liu Xiaoyuan was pretending to know what he didn't and would only make a fool of himself.

Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't worried at all, letting those who mocked him laugh at him in their hearts, because they wouldn't dare say it out loud even if they had ten times the courage.

"Mmm, good wine!" Liu Xiaoyuan took a small sip and exclaimed in admiration.

"Good wine, huh? You country bumpkin can actually taste the flavor of this wine?"

Some people are like that; they fear you and outwardly treat you with utmost respect and a smiling face, but in their hearts they curse you countless times.

Those who secretly mock Liu Xiaoyuan are like this: they fear Liu Xiaoyuan's strength and dare not utter a word, but in their hearts they despise him as just a country bumpkin.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Liu Xiaoyuan finally unleashed his trump card, calmly saying, "The 1996 Lafite. The best vintages of Lafite wines from Château Lafite Rothschild are 1982, 1986, 1996, 1998, and 2000..."

"Château Lafite Rothschild was founded in 1763 and is located on the 'first slope of Bordeaux,' named for its location on the high ground on the right bank of the Garonne River. Among the world's most famous wines, Château Lafite Rothschild is the most renowned in Pauillac, Bordeaux, France."

"Château Lafite Rothschild is located on a gravelly hill north of the village of Pauillac in the Pauillac region of Bordeaux, France. The unique climate and soil conditions have naturally contributed to the global renown of Lafite wines."

Château Lafite Rothschild was one of the top-ranked vineyards in the 1855 Bordeaux wine classification. Together with Château Haut-Brion, Château Latour, Château Margaux, and Château Mouton Rothschild (inducted in 1973), it is considered one of the five first-growth Bordeaux estates. Château Lafite Rothschild is considered the most elegant of the five and also the most valuable wine estate in the world. Lafite is known for its elegance and refinement; its wines are extremely delicate, and every sip offers aromas of almond and violet.

"Like this 1996 Lafite, the first sip reveals aromas of almonds and violets, followed by a smooth and layered flavor with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. It's truly a fine wine."

...

Liu Xiaoyuan recounted the history of Château Lafite Rothschild as if it were his own treasure, and then gave his evaluation of this 1996 Lafite wine.
