Before he finished speaking, Xia He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Zhao Meng.

Zhao Meng was caught off guard and was knocked back repeatedly by the palm strike. The blood in his body surged and he almost fell out of the door.

"Such a strong blood and energy, this kid must have cultivated something dirty..."

Didn’t the news from Liangzhou say that this kid was the first to refine his bones?

"stop!"

Li Wu also noticed something was wrong, frowned and shouted, quickly walked between the two of them, raised his hand to stop Xia He,

"Brother Xia, we are here to drink today, why do we need to use force?"

Xia He narrowed his eyes, as if he was drunk, and a breath of alcohol sprayed on his face.

Li Wu turned his head away, suppressed his displeasure, and forced a smile:

"Brother Xia has drunk too much, why don't you go back and rest first, we will meet again another day."

Xia He waved his hand and said shakily:

"No, I'm not drunk, keep drinking!"

Seeing this, Li Wu quickly ordered his men to send Xia He back.

After Xia He left, the restaurant was in a mess. Everyone looked at each other in an extremely awkward atmosphere.

Zhao Meng covered his chest and cursed angrily:

"This kid definitely did it on purpose! Pretending to be drunk and attacking by surprise is really too much!"

Li Wu's face gradually became gloomy. He originally wanted to use this gathering to test Xia He, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

What made him even more annoyed was that as soon as Xia He left, several guests took the opportunity to stand up and say goodbye.

"Pretending?"

They didn't get any good at all from doing this.

"Zhao Meng, what if you fight him with all your strength?"

"This kid is very scheming and has hidden his strength, but he has only just completed the internal organ refining stage. I have reached the advanced stage of internal organ refining. I will defeat him within fifty moves!"

"Fifty moves... maybe not."

Li Wu took a deep breath. He had just seen how Xia He casually struck with his palm and Zhao Meng was almost unable to stop him.

"Could it be that this kid is also aiming for the position of the chief disciple this time?"

"It was the Shan family's siblings who came here to look for him."

"Sir, you have the strength of 'Hua Jin'. This man is definitely not your opponent. You must help Hong Er teach him a lesson when the time comes!"

The maid's face flushed red. She was naturally very angry because Xia He had been 'flirting' with her before.

Li Wu stretched out his hand and pinched her face, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then smiled.

"Of course I don't take this guy seriously, but he has a great reputation, and those who come from the military will naturally try to curry favor with him, but they don't want this guy to come out and mess things up."

She turned around and whispered to the maid beside her:

"Hong'er, help me find out the details of Xia He. The more detailed the better!"

"Yes, sir."

The maid nodded quickly and left quickly.

On the other side, after Xia He was sent home, he was supported by his wife Li Huilan as soon as he entered the door.

Seeing that he was drunk, Li Huilan couldn't help but frown and said, "Why are you so drunk? Come inside and rest."

Xia He staggered into the room and was about to lie down, but suddenly reached out and hugged Li Huilan in his arms.

Li Huilan screamed and was about to struggle, but she heard Xia He whispered in her ear with a laugh:

"Don't move, I'm not drunk."

Li Huilan was stunned and looked up at Xia He, only to see that his eyes were clear, not drunk at all.

She couldn't help but scold: "You lied again!"

Xia He laughed, let go of her and said, "Go get me some water, I need to sober up."

Li Huilan rolled her eyes at him and turned to get some water. Xia Heze sat cross-legged on the bed, his body shaking slightly.

The alcohol in the body turned into white mist and spewed out from the pores, instantly filling the entire room.

"Li Wu doesn't look mean, so it's better not to offend him."

At this moment, Li Huilan said outside the door with water in her hand:

"Brother He, someone is looking for you again."

Xia He couldn't help but sigh when he heard this:

"Why are there another batch? Am I so popular?"

He stood up and walked out of the room, only to see several men standing outside the yard.

But they looked familiar, and Xia He then remembered that at the banquet just now, several people were sitting in the corner.

Seeing Xia He, several people immediately laughed.

"I said Brother Xia is definitely not drunk!"

Xia He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"How many people are here?"

The man then withheld the news and bowed solemnly, saying:

"Brother Xia, I'm from the Shanzi Camp in Youzhou. My name is Peng Xin, and I hold the title of a centurion, but my ancestral home is Liangzhou. I'd like to thank you, Brother Xia, for defending Liangzhou!"

"These brothers are also military personnel selected from other states. Most of them hold the rank of centurion, and they are also here to participate in the selection."

"Before, that birdman Li Wu sent someone to invite us, and we had to go, but we were all holding back. Thanks to Brother Xia, we were able to escape. I really admire you, so I came to visit you and make friends with you sincerely."

Xia He heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he bowed and said:

"I see, you brothers are so thoughtful. Since we are all soldiers, there is no need to be polite. Come in and take a seat."

They smiled at each other and followed Xia He into the house. The smell of alcohol in the house had not yet dissipated, and Li Huilan had already prepared tea.

Xia He sat down with a few people and started chatting.

"Brother Xia, your palm strike today really made me feel relieved!"

A centurion snorted and said,

"Those of us who came to participate in the peak selection this time can be roughly divided into three categories."

"One category is people like us who come from military camps."

"One category is the folk sects, or people from aristocratic families, similar to Zhao Meng."

"The last category is Li Wu. He is the son of a cabinet minister. He was sent to the Wind and Thunder Sword School in his early years and became a true disciple. Now he is appointed by His Majesty to participate in the Whirlwind. His identity is quite complicated."
