Everyone seemed to be friends. There was no difference in strength, no difference in status. Everyone was together for the sake of drinking and having fun.
To be honest, this was the first time Wine Taoist had participated in such a banquet. He had participated in many banquets in the Seventh Wilderness, but the feeling in the Seventh Wilderness was completely different.
How should he put it? The banquet in the Seventh Wilderness was very depressing compared to this one. Everyone had a clear division in terms of cultivation realm and status. Moreover, there were many things that could not be said casually.
Unlike Li Qiu and the others, they had no scruples at all and could say whatever they wanted.
The atmosphere was very relaxed, and the Wine Daoist liked it very much. The Wine Daoist was a wine lover, but in the Seventh Wilderness, to be honest, the Wine Daoist liked to drink alone. He didn't like to attend any banquets.
However, it seemed different in the Seventh Realm. Wine Taoist liked this feeling very much. Everyone drank together, putting aside their cultivation and status. They did not think about anything else. They just drank for the sake of having fun. There was no other purpose.
He liked this atmosphere, but it was because of this that Wine Taoist's heart was in a mess.
In the past, everyone, including Wine Taoist himself, thought that the Seventh Realm was a gathering place for evil people. They were traitors who went against the heavens and everyone had the right to punish them.
But now, Wine Taoist began to doubt his own thoughts. Were the people in the Seventh Realm really all evil and treacherous people? He could not help but have this question in his heart.
Was it? But if it was, why couldn't he feel it at all? Looking at the smiles on Li Qiu and the others' faces, it was definitely from the bottom of their hearts. There was no trace of falsehood. They were truly happy.
He grew more and more confused, so Wine Daoist did not say a word during the banquet. He just drank his wine silently. Although the wine tasted good, Wine Daoist did not notice it at all, nor did he have any interest in paying attention to it.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night. Ye Xiao was completely drunk.
Thinking about it, Ye Xiao had been eyeing Senior Tian Youde's highland barley wine for a long time. Unfortunately, Tian Youde did not give Ye Xiao too much. Now that he had a rare opportunity to drink to his heart's content, Ye Xiao naturally let go.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they looked at Ye Xiao, who had fainted under the table. Everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Two experts from the Seventh Realm who were also drunk looked at Ye Xiao and laughed loudly.
"Ye Xiao's Heir, you can't hold your liquor well. Why are you hiding under the table? Didn't you say you wanted another 300 bowls?"
The two of them teased each other. Hearing this, Ye Xiao mumbled, "Let's drink then. Who's afraid? Bring it on."
As he spoke, Ye Xiao stood up shakily. However, before he could open his mouth, Gu Feng had already arrived in front of him. He threw a punch at Ye Xiao's head and scolded him fiercely.
"What a disgrace. You still want to drink? Why don't you take a look at how drunk you are? Sigh, our family is unlucky to have an Heir like you in the Eighth Realm. "
Gu Feng said to Xiao Chen as he grabbed the drunk Ye Xiao and placed him under his armpit without waiting for Xiao Chen's reply.
"Xiao Chen, it's getting late. I'll take my leave. Let's drink again in the future."
"That's great. Take care, senior. I'll send you off," Xiao Chen stood up and replied.
Xiao Chen had intended to send them off personally, but Gu Feng waved his hand carelessly and said, "No need. We're all family. There's no need for that."
With that, Gu Feng turned his head to look at Li Qiu. He huffed angrily and said, "Old man Li, next time I'll definitely compete with you in terms of alcohol tolerance."
"Anytime." Hearing Gu Feng's words, Li Qiu smiled and said.
"Alright, I'll take my leave." Gu Feng straightforwardly threw down these words when he heard this. Soon after, he left with the already drunk Ye Xiao.
After Gu Feng left, the others left one after another. The Wine Daoist also returned to his small courtyard. However, to Xiao Chen's surprise, Li Qiu had not left yet.
Although his face was red, Li Qiu's mind was still very clear. He looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile.
"Xiao Chen, it seems like Wine Daoist still hasn't resolved the knot in his heart."
Li Qiu had already noticed Wine Daoist. For the entire night, Wine Daoist didn't say a word and just drank alone. Hearing Li Qiu's words, Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Yes."
Indeed, Wine Daoist still hadn't figured it out. Li Qiu said, "I wonder if I can speak with Wine Daoist alone. After all, we're both from the Seventh Realm."
Li Qiu had taken the initiative to speak with the Wine Daoist in private. Xiao Chen naturally would not refuse. He personally led Li Qiu to the courtyard where the Wine Daoist lived. He did not intend to disturb the two of them. Since Li Qiu had expressed that she wanted to speak with the Wine Daoist alone, Xiao Chen immediately turned and left.
After Xiao Chen turned around and left, Li Qiu gently knocked on the door. Then, Wine Daoist's voice came from the courtyard. He said indifferently, "Come in."
He thought that it was Xiao Chen. After all, apart from Xiao Chen, who else in the Seventh Realm would come to his place? Just as Wine Daoist turned around, he saw Li Qiu push open the door and enter.
A strange look flashed across Wine Daoist's eyes when he saw Li Qiu. However, Li Qiu didn't care at all. He walked up to Wine Daoist and smiled.
"I didn't drink enough earlier, so I came specially to find you to drink a few more cups with me?"
He came specially to drink with me? Wine Daoist naturally knew that this was just Li Qiu's excuse. However, for some reason, after a slight exhortation, Wine Daoist nodded slightly and said, "Please."
The two of them came to the pavilion in the courtyard and sat down. Li Qiu took out a jug of wine and two large bowls from his Storage Ring and said, "Although this isn't as good as before, it tastes pretty good. Try it."
As he spoke, Li Qiu poured wine for the two of them and started drinking. Wine Daoist thought for a moment and finished his bowl in one gulp.
After drinking three large bowls of wine in a row, Li Qiu looked at Wine Daoist and said with a smile, "We should have met before, but you just broke through to the Immortal Realm."
Li Qiu had originally betrayed the Seventh Wilderness and joined the Seventh Realm. However, Wine Daoist had just broken through to the Immortal Realm at that time, so the two of them didn't have much interaction.
Wine Daoist didn't deny it when he heard Li Qiu's words. He had heard of Li Qiu before, but he only felt disdain for Li Qiu in the past. After all, he was a traitor. But now, Wine Daoist's impression of Li Qiu had changed, so he still nodded.
"That's right. We've met before. I've seen you from afar."
