"Change wine glasses? Even Little Junior Sister Lan 'er doesn't trust your Senior Brother? " Xu Lingchong's brows raised when he heard this, and then he puckered his lips helplessly. "Alright, then change wine glasses. In any case, your Senior Brother is magnanimous, and there's nothing that can't be seen in the light."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lingchong didn't hesitate in the slightest to do as he said, and he gave others the feeling as if there really wasn't anything fishy about this, and he was purely toasting and apologizing to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi originally didn't want to drink this cup of wine from him. After all, there were all sorts of extraordinary things in the cultivation world, and it wasn't like the mortal world that only had those few medicines that everyone knew of. If Xu Lingchong really wanted to add something into the wine, then even with Lin Yi's strength, it would be extremely difficult for him to notice it. If he were to fall into Xu Lingchong's trap because of this, then who knew what unforeseen consequences would occur.
But since Shanghai Laner had already said so, it wasn't good for him to disregard it like this, and he could only receive Xu Lingchong's wine cup.
"Young Hero Lin, this Young Master will drink first as a sign of respect. Please!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lingchong directly drained the wine in a single gulp.
Lin Yi brought the wine cup close to his nose and sniffed it, and besides the wine fragrance and spirit energy that filled his nose, he didn't notice anything unusual.
Xu Lingchong sneered endlessly in his heart when he saw this scene. How could the methods I use be so easily exposed? It's simply wishful thinking and naive to the point it's cute if you want to smell something wrong purely by relying on your nose.
Lin Yi still didn't have the confidence in his heart, but since this was exchanged from Xu Lingchong, then even if Xu Lingchong had really added something into the wine, it would surely not be something that could kill him in a short period of time.
Otherwise, even if Xu Lingchong held the antidote in his hand, it was difficult to guarantee that nothing would go wrong after being delayed for a while by Lin Yi. Moreover, this was a critical occasion where great figures had converged after all. If he were to really use poisoned wine to cause someone's death, then Xu Lingchong would have to bear the consequences. After all, Shanghai Laner could testify that the wine that Lin Yi drank came from him.
Therefore, one thing that Lin Yi could be sure of was that even if something was added to the wine, it would at most be some unorthodox supplementary ingredients. There would be some effect in a short period of time, but it would definitely not be too strong, nor would it leave any obvious after-effects.
Xu Lingchong was not an idiot. Lin Yi could even further speculate that if this fellow really wanted to add something, then the effect would probably not be easily noticed from the beginning to the end. It was very likely that even if the effect took effect, it would be misunderstood as drunkenness.
"What? Young Hero Lin still doesn't dare to drink it? This is slightly not giving this Young Master any face, and it's too embarrassing, right?" Xu Lingchong urged right away when he saw Lin Yi not moving for a long time.
"Since you're begging me to drink it, I'll drink it." At this moment, the gazes of the surrounding people had already been attracted over. Lin Yi couldn't continue to refuse and hesitate, so he immediately smiled and drank the wine in the cup.
"Very good, you can pick up and let go. This is the tolerance that a true man should have!" Xu Lingchong smiled proudly without a trace. He turned around and poured another cup for Lan 'er and said, "Junior Sister Lan' er, today is your birthday. I, as your Senior Brother, should toast you a cup. Junior Sister, you won't refuse, right?"
Lan 'er originally didn't want to bother with this annoying fellow, but when she saw Shanghai Tianhua and Xu Yuanzheng looking over from afar, she couldn't just brush her sleeves and leave. She could only take the wine cup patiently and said with a pout, "Let me make it clear first. I'm not giving you face, I'm giving face to your grandfather. You don't have any face in my eyes!"
This bitch! Xu Lingchong was infuriated by these words. In the past, when Lin Yi hadn't appeared, although Lan 'er sometimes had the temper of a Young Miss, in his eyes, her flaws couldn't obscure her beauty. But now, after he saw her colluding with Lin Yi, the more he looked at her, the more he felt that this woman was a scoundrel who could sleep with anyone. They were a pair of dogs!
"Yes, yes, Junior Sister Lan 'er is a proud daughter of the heavens. Not anyone can give face to her." Xu Lingchong nodded and smiled apologetically, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a sly arc. No matter what you say, as long as you drink this cup of wine, you won't have the final say in the future.
Shanghai Laner snorted and couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with Xu Lingchong anymore. She immediately raised her head and was about to drink the wine. Anyway, this was a special spiritual wine. She had drunk a lot since she was young, so drinking a few cups wasn't a problem at all.
Lin Yi, who was at the side, was a little worried. Xu Lingchong's actions clearly showed that there was something fishy. If it was as he expected, something must have been added to this spiritual wine. With Lin Yi's strength and willpower, he didn't care much about it, but if it was put on Shanghai Laner, then it was hard to say.
However, just when Xu Lingchong's scheme was about to succeed, the Little Curly Bear suddenly jumped onto Shanghai Laner's body. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was unprepared, he actually licked the wine clean in one gulp.
"Little White, you little drunkard!" Shanghai Laner instantly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Although this scene was unexpected, it was within reason. It wasn't the first time that the Little Curly Bear had secretly drunk spiritual wine. In fact, this fellow had already displayed the potential of a drunkard since he was young. Ever since he fell into a wine jar and became drunk, the little fellow would steal any wine he saw. He had never let go of a chance like this, so of course, he wouldn't let go of such an opportunity before him.
This time, Xu Lingchong was dumbfounded. He had tried so hard to make Shangguan Lan 'er drink the Spiritual Wine, but in the blink of an eye, it went into the stomach of the Little Curly Bear. What the hell was this?
"Alright, now Little White has drunk it on behalf of me. You're fine now, right? Quickly make way for me!" Shanghai Laner raised her head towards Xu Lingchong.
"This … This can't be counted, right?" Xu Lingchong quickly poured another glass of wine and wanted to make Shanghai Laner drink it. Unfortunately, Miss Shangguan didn't even look at him. She directly called out to Lin Yi, bypassed him and went upstairs.
F * ck! Xu Lingchong could only curse gloomily. If it wasn't for this kind of public occasion, he would even have the intention to force Shanghai Laner to drink it. Although this plan was an impromptu idea, whether it could be successfully completed or not was related to his future. He couldn't allow any mistakes!
However, now that Shanghai Laner had already brought Lin Yi upstairs, no matter how Xu Lingchong lowered his head and stamped his feet, it was already futile. At this time, if he forcefully followed up and forced Shanghai Laner to drink, it would be too conspicuous. He was afraid that everyone present would start to suspect his motives.
