Chapter 49 The Bizarre Drinking Party
Inside the inn, the people of Peach Blossom Valley began their celebration as usual when suddenly a cultivator in plain clothes stepped forward and bowed, asking, "Excuse me, is this Sect Leader Ming?"
Ming Cang looked the newcomer over for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
The monk in plain clothes smiled respectfully and said, "I am the leader's attendant. I have been ordered to come and invite you and the elders over for a chat."
"Old Mu?" Ming Cang frowned, gave a few simple instructions, and then left with the elders.
Yu Qianling watched his master leave, grabbed the wine jug, took a few big gulps, and said with satisfaction, "Delicious!"
"Third Junior Sister, you're still injured, don't drink anymore." Yu Xian'er shook her head helplessly and snatched the wine pot from her hand.
"Oh, I'm all better now! I can take on ten more!"
Cen Feng: "As expected of Third Senior Sister, she's just as good at fighting as she is at bragging, hahaha—"
"I didn't exaggerate!"
Yu Qianling patted Feng Yue beside her and said, "Do you remember that time we went out for training? I had a hole in my stomach, but I still managed to fight ten evil cultivators?"
Feng Yue looked at her for a long time with only his two eyes showing, and said with lingering fear, "But... but... you were unconscious for half a month at the end. I thought you were going to die."
"Hey, you little brat, you dare to sabotage me!" After saying that, Yu Qianling grabbed Feng Yue by the neck and started playfully hitting him, which made everyone burst into laughter.
"So noisy, it's disgusting!" A slightly sarcastic voice rang out, and Yu Xian'er's face darkened as she looked behind the screen. She naturally recognized it as Yu Xinyao's voice.
Yu Qianling, naturally hot-tempered, suddenly kicked open the screen in the middle. When she saw the people at the opposite tables, the expressions on everyone's faces became quite interesting.
Bai Ruoqian sat next to Yu Xuan, and Zhuo Yunce and Yu Xinyao were sitting at the next table.
Besides, there were people from other sects, almost all of whom had grudges against Peach Blossom Valley, making the scene instantly awkward.
But Yu Qianling of She Niu automatically ignored the strange looks from those people and greeted Yu Xuan warmly, "Yu Xuan, you're here too? Come over and have a few drinks? The drinks here are pretty good."
"..."
Hearing this, everyone was speechless. The battle between the two today was the focus of discussion, and Yu Qianling's confusing behavior really baffled everyone.
Yu Xuan gripped his wine glass without speaking, making the atmosphere even more awkward. Bai Ruo, standing beside him, gave a disdainful smile. "How can you drink such inferior wine? You've probably never tasted a truly fine brew before."
After saying that, she held up the wine pot in her hand and introduced it: "This bottle contains Purple Bamboo Jade Liquor, a fine wine aged three hundred years—"
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Qianling walked towards her. "Oh, since it's good wine, I'll have to try it!"
She sat down next to Yu Xuan, ignoring everyone's gaze, and urged, "Quick, quick, pour me some!"
Seeing Bai Ruoqian standing there in a daze, not moving for a long time, Yu Qianling couldn't wait to snatch the wine pot, fill a cup himself and taste it, "Hmm, it is indeed good wine, junior brothers, would you like to come and have a taste too?"
"Wow, I have to try it." Ye Luo sat down next to her and poured herself a glass without any hesitation. "Hmm, not bad!"
"..." Everyone stared at the two of them with black lines on their faces. What the hell was going on?
Bai Ruoqian snapped out of her daze, snatched the wine pot back, and pointed at the two men, speechless for a long time. She hadn't expected them to be so shameless.
Yu Qianling complained, "Hey, I haven't had enough to drink yet!"
"Shameless!" Bai Ruoqian shouted angrily, "Did I say I gave you any to drink?"
"Huh? If you're not going to give it to others, why are you showing it off?" Ye Luo pretended to be surprised and said, "Don't be so stingy. Your brother Yu Xuan is still here. Remember to leave a good impression."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoqian looked at Yu Xuan, who remained silent, and said with some annoyance and grievance, "They all bully me... Why don't you help me... This is something I specially brought for you to try."
Bully?
Yu Xuan frowned as he looked at Bai Ruoqian, feeling that she was acting somewhat strangely. "You invited me out to taste wine, didn't you? Since everyone likes it... it wouldn't hurt to let them try it."
Bai Ruoqian: "..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo almost burst out laughing. He rubbed his forehead and chuckled to himself. He found Yu Xuan rather adorable. Couldn't he tell that Yu Xuan was trying to be friendly?
Bai Ruoqian concealed the anger in her eyes, cursing incessantly in her mind.
These past few days she had tried everything to win over the clueless Yu Xuan, but all her efforts had failed, and she couldn't help but doubt the words of the Soul Guide.
Will this man truly love her to the point of obsession? Is he truly incapable of having anyone but her?
This doesn't look like it at all!
Heart Soul Guide: "He was an asset to your early development in the Immortal Alliance. You must win him over no matter what."
"But...he's really hard to deal with!"
"You can't expect everything to be accomplished in one fell swoop. There's no such thing as an easy way. You can get through him by putting in more effort."
Just as she was lost in thought, Ye Luokuang devoured the delicious food on the table, saying, "Hey, hurry up and bring the wine, don't be so stingy."
Bai Ruoqian glanced at Yu Xuan, gritted her teeth and could only put the wine pot on the table. Yu Qianling grinned, picked up the wine pot and filled it one by one, saying, "Hey, that's right!"
Yu Xuan looked at the full glass of wine, then at Yu Qianling's complicated expression, rubbed the glass with his thumb, tilted his head back and drank it down.
"Come on, let's have another drink!" Ye Luo shamelessly clinked glasses with everyone, tilted her head back, drank it down, smacked her lips, and said, "Mmm, delicious!"
Bai Ruoqian glared at him, as if she wanted to devour him whole.
Yet it was precisely this tense atmosphere that created an eerie harmony, almost making everyone forget the fierce, life-or-death struggle these four had faced during the competition.
The people in Peach Blossom Valley couldn't help but burst out laughing, their shoulders shaking uncontrollably, attracting the attention of many.
"You two come back quickly, don't go and bother others."
Yu Xian'er smiled and turned to beckon the two of them back. At that moment, she inadvertently exchanged a glance with Zhuo Yunce and simply nodded politely in return.
But Yu Xinyao saw things differently, and her face instantly turned ugly. "Birds of a feather flock together! The whole sect is full of shameless bastards!"
Cen Feng slammed his hand on the table and roared, "You bitch, I've put up with you for too long! You want to cause trouble, don't you?"
