"Congratulations." Lin Su smiled.
Lin Wei was stunned for a moment: "Brother Su is so happy about your breakthrough, but I don't know where this joy comes from."
Lin Su raised his eyes, glanced at him and said, "I am in the Qigong period, and you are also in the Qigong period, so naturally we are happy together."
It is indeed a rare talent for Lin Wei to break through to the late stage of Qigong at the age of more than 40, and it is not an overnight thing to break through to the Golden Core stage. Although there are many cultivators, there has only been one person as top as Master Qingxiao in all these years.
But this was congratulations to others, but a humiliation to Lin Wei. It was like telling everyone that Lin Su, a loser, had reached the Qigong stage in just a few years, while he, the so-called genius, was still stuck in the Qigong stage.
Lin Wei's expression froze for a moment. "Brother Su, you're joking. Your cultivation is almost catching up with mine. I need to work even harder."
There are naturally differences in the stages of fasting, and the boundary between the early and late stages of fasting cannot be easily broken through.
"Master, please try this pear blossom white. It is a unique delicacy in Wanbao Fairy City." Lin Su turned around and poured a glass of wine for Shen Qingtang.
Before the banquet even started, the aroma of wine filled the air, which was the power of the pear blossom white.
Lin Wei was left aside, looking at the True Man Qingxiao who was sitting next to him with a complicated look in his eyes. He used to admire this number one cultivator of the righteous path, and was happy even to get a few words of advice, but he never dared to imagine that he could be his disciple. But who would have thought that one day Lin Su, a waste, would come from behind and become the winner, and this number one cultivator of the righteous path was also blind. There were so many disciples to accept, but he chose this one.
"Brother Su, True Man Qingxiao is a sword cultivator and never drinks alcohol. Although Lihuabai is delicious, it's better for you to drink it yourself." Lin Wei interrupted.
Lin Su didn't want to talk to him any more, so he took the opportunity to change the subject while pouring wine. However, he didn't expect that this man would advance instead of retreating. He looked at Shen Qingtang and said, "Master, do you never drink?"
"That's not the case." Shen Qingtang had indeed never drunk alcohol before, but it wasn't because he was a sword cultivator, but rather because he naturally disliked the taste of alcohol. He simply picked up the glass and drank it, his expression unchanged. "Thank you... for your concern."
He clearly didn't even know who Lin Wei was. If Lin Wei had been embarrassed before, now he felt as if his face had been stepped on. He couldn't say anything, unable to let out a single ounce of his anger. "I'm Sudi, your elder brother. My name is Lin Wei. I only heard that Master Qingxiao disliked alcohol, fearing it would ruin his sword spirit, so I said that. I didn't expect the rumor to be false. I'm so embarrassed for having done so."
Shen Qingtang had traveled all over the world and had seen everything, so he could naturally see the anger that this man was suppressing. The fact that he could endure such a situation showed that he knew how to weigh the pros and cons and was very thoughtful.
Verbal disputes are the least important thing in the world of cultivation. Shen Qingtang hummed and ignored it. It was unclear whether he took note of it or not. Lin Wei could only bow silently again and sit in his own seat.
As the son of the city lord, his seat naturally would not be too far back, but he could not directly pass over the patriarchs and elders of the major branches, so he only sat in a position slightly above the center.
Lin Su's seat should have been further back than his, but Master Qingxiao was a distinguished guest, and no one would say anything if Lin Su, as his disciple, sat with him.
"He is hostile to you." Shen Qingtang said to Lin Su without changing his expression.
Such obvious targeting and hostility clearly showed that they were very dissatisfied with Lin Su's existence. He dared to make things difficult for his apprentice in person while he was still here, and who knew what he would do in private.
Lin Su poured a glass of wine and sipped it, playing with the jade cup with his fingers and whispering to him: "Don't pay attention to the dying man."
Over the years, he has naturally investigated almost all of his original body's enemies. With the original body's memories, the news from Wanshi Pavilion, and his understanding of the people here, it is clear at a glance who is behind the tricks.
"It's him?!" Shen Qingtang was really surprised. Although he could see that the man was hostile to Lin Su, he didn't think that man had the ability to harm his apprentice.
"Not only him." The reason why Lin Su did not kill the man directly was naturally because the person behind the scenes was not just Lin Wei. He alone could not get the bone-eroding poison that even the Lord of Wanbao Immortal City could not detect.
Shen Qingtang heard what he said and knew that he had an idea in mind. He turned his eyes slightly and found that the cup in front of him was gone. Lin Su's cup was clearly placed in front of him. The cup in his hand... Shen Qingtang said subconsciously: "You took the wrong cup for my master."
"Oh, then give it back to Master." Lin Su placed the jade cup in front of Shen Qingtang again and said, "How about the pear blossom white?"
"It's not to my taste." Shen Qingtang still disliked the spicy taste of wine.
"Then let's change to something else." Lin Su took out a wine flask from his storage ring and poured him some wine, which was also fragrant. "Master, try this."
Shen Qingtang lowered his eyes and stared at the wine glass in a trance. He had only tilted his head back to drink the wine, but it was obvious that Lin Su had used this glass before. He still remembered where he had touched it. In such a public place, it was simply indirect...
The two of them didn't speak loudly, but the people around them kept staring at them. Shen Qingtang glanced at Lin Su, and seeing the smile on his lips, she knew he was doing it on purpose. She could only pick up the wine glass and rub it against her lips. Her palms were slightly sweaty when she drank.
...sweet?
Although it smells like alcohol, it does not have the spiciness of alcohol, but instead has a hint of refreshing sweetness.
Lin Su asked, "What do you think of this, Master?"
"Hmm, it's okay." Shen Qingtang responded, "What's the name of this wine?"
"Peach Blossom Drunk." Lin Su poured him another glass. "Master, drink more if you like."
"Nice name." Shen Qingtang didn't refuse this time, but he subconsciously paused when he picked up the wine glass.
The two of them interacted with each other, and it was obvious that they had a close relationship. Those who were watching were secretly amazed.
To be frank, when Lin Su first became Qingxiao Zhenren's disciple, most people were not optimistic about him. They thought that he might be sent back after staying in Jiuxiao Xianmen for a few days. However, they did not expect that he would stay there for several years. Not only did he look different, his cultivation had also improved. However, judging from the tone of his voice when he spoke to Lin Wei just now, it was obvious that his temper had not changed much.
It is unknown how such a temperament can coexist harmoniously with the self-discipline of Qingxiao Zhenren, who is even a little too upright.
Everyone had his own thoughts, but Father Lin brought Fairy Ruo Miao to the table together. After exchanging greetings, they sat in the main seat.
This banquet was held to welcome Shen Qingtang's arrival and Lin Su's return. After Lin's father asked everyone to take their seats, his eyes fell on Lin and Su. He had always thought his sons were good-looking, and now seeing them was even more impressive: "Su'er is really in high spirits today."
"Thank you for the compliment, father." Lin Su naturally gave his father face and raised his wine glass, saying, "I offer a toast to you, father. I wish you... a long and blessed life."
There must be some words when toasting, but as soon as these words were spoken, everyone present could not hide their smiles.
