"Just some greetings, but a little too much."
Yu Ziheng wiped away his tears and said, "Shuijing City has long been an empty shell. He sent me here just to make more money by borrowing the name of Master and the Yuxu Sect."
"Don't worry, Big Brother. I haven't replied to any of those letters. After becoming your disciple, I have never revealed anything about Shuijing City."
"I know you're good to me. I know my limits and won't do anything to upset Master."
Gu Xingyun nodded: "If you really do it, don't bother Master, I will throw you out."
"Senior Brother, don't scare him." Ling Xinghua spoke up to protect him, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"I'll accompany Master to deal with the guests. You can continue to work with the two of them. If there's anything you can't handle, just call me. Don't bother Master. He's in a bad mood today."
After Gu Xingyun explained a few things, he returned to Yan Huailiu.
I just heard Qiu Minghai say, "If Sect Master Yan has time, he can come visit us at Tianjiu Peak."
"I will definitely go if I have the chance." Yan Huailiu responded politely.
When Qiu Minghai saw Gu Xingyun appear, his smile faltered and he responded awkwardly with a few words before stopping.
The next seat was still quite far away, so Yan Huailiu walked very slowly, with a lot of sweat on his forehead.
Gu Xingyun handed over a handkerchief and lowered his voice: "Master, are you feeling unwell? If you are not feeling well, I will accompany you back to rest."
"I'm fine." Yan Huailiu waved his hand to refuse and didn't take it.
Everyone at the banquet was watching their movements, and when they saw Yan Huailiu suddenly stop, they all looked over here curiously.
"Master?" Gu Xingyun wiped the sweat off his face and took the wine glass from his hand as quickly as possible.
"If Master toasts one after another like this, the guests will feel pressured."
Yan Huailiu turned his head to look at him: "Really?"
Gu Xingyun nodded: "Yes, most people just came here to join in the fun, and I'm afraid they haven't even prepared anything to say."
"If Master takes a few more steps forward, I think those people will get so nervous that they'll slip away in the chaos."
He was telling the truth. Many small sects were on the verge of collapse.
The gifts they gave were not as good as those given by others. If they offended the Yuxu Sect by saying something wrong, they would be dead.
Yan Huailiu was originally forcing himself to socialize, and after Gu Xingyun said this, he had a reason to back off.
Tentatively, he gave a friendly look to the strangers at the next table.
The man was so nervous that he almost dropped his wine glass. He was neither standing nor sitting. Finally, he simply picked up the wine jug and drank from the spout as a sign of politeness.
Thank you, that's very convincing.
Yan Huailiu breathed a sigh of relief and completely gave up this painful action for both parties.
The Palace Master of Xuanyue Palace, who had been brewing his words, watched Yan Huailiu turn around and walk towards the stage.
"Hey, hey, hey, why isn't he leaving? I've calculated everything. There are only three more people left before it's my turn. Why isn't he coming?"
"Why are you only talking to that bald donkey from Qingguang Temple and that brute from Tianjiu Peak? What's wrong with my Xuanyue Palace?"
Murong Xuanlang looked dazed, but he did not forget to persuade his father: "Father, keep your voice down, or someone will hear you."
Palace Master Murong shut up awkwardly.
After Yan Huailiu returned to the stage, he calmed down and stumbled over his prepared speech to the crowd below.
The hand hidden in the wide sleeves tightly grasped Gu Xingyun's hand to relieve the tension.
The group of people below also cooperated, holding up their cups and saying auspicious words.
Yan Huailiu tried his best to put himself into the state of the original body, concealing some of his arrogance and imitating a sense of confidence and calmness.
The moment he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Gu Xingyun calmly refilled his glass so that he could respond to the toasts from some people.
Only when the pots were completely empty did those people sit down drunkenly and start chatting with the people next to them.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him anymore, Yan Huailiu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with peace of mind.
"Well..." He shook the cup and asked the person next to him.
Gu Xingyun was very calm: "Master, you haven't eaten anything. If you drink alcohol, you will feel uncomfortable. I have replaced all your drinks with water. Don't worry, you won't be discovered."
"Why didn't I think of this trick?" Yan Huailiu muttered softly, and smiled rarely: "Thank you."
Gu Xingyun lowered his head and squeezed his palm without saying anything.
Only after everyone at the banquet was almost drunk did Yan Huailiu dare to look down at the stage.
The bloody and murderous scenes in my memory form a sharp contrast with the festive and peaceful scenes now.
He looked at Baili Changhuan, who was clearly in a good mood, and whispered, "That's great."
It’s great that there is no death and no separation.
Several of his apprentices sat at a small table in the corner, staring intently at the guests. As long as there was any sign of trouble, they would immediately go over to help deal with it.
The air was filled with the smell of alcohol. Yan Huailiu supported his face with one hand and looked at his obedient disciples.
Chang Sui noticed his gaze and waved at him excitedly.
Yan Huai smiled and pointed at the snacks on his table, motioning Chang Sui to come over and get them, but the latter just shook his head and didn't move.
Gu Xingyun took a look at their interaction, then lowered his head to continue helping Yan Huailiu pick out the fish bones.
After cleaning up the food, he fed it to Yan Huailiu's mouth: "Master, this fish tastes good, you try it."
Yan Huailiu withdrew his gaze and opened his mouth to accept the food.
This scene happened to be seen by Baili Changhuan. He angrily complained to Fei Miao: "I should have tied him up and thrown him into the pool to cleanse his brain! This is absolutely disgraceful!"
