"Therefore, the wine in Yun Yang's hands is truly the God of Wine's last masterpiece in this world," Yun Yang said with a laugh.
Yun Yang laughed and said, "Brother Ling is right. In this world, there aren't many people who deserve to drink such wine other than us. Let's just take it as a gift from Mr. Nian. Let's drink, let's drink all of it. Let's get drunk to our heart's content and we won't go home until we're drunk."
As he spoke, he tossed out ten pots of wine without holding anything back.
"Hahahaha … great!" Xiao Shaoqing guffawed, his eyes glowing. "Young Master Yun is a bright man indeed!"
Then, he did something that surprised everyone present.
With a click of his finger, he sealed his mystical Qi cultivation base completely.
Everyone's thoughts raced, but they had no idea what this fellow was up to. What was he up to again?
"To drink, one must seal their mystical Qi. The channeling of mystical Qi by skilled cultivators has long become an instinct. Even if they don't do it intentionally, it will greatly resist the dizziness of being drunk and stay sober. However, this instinct is annoying to the drinker. Too annoying. "
"Drink? Why drink? What is the purpose of drinking? " Xiao Shaoqing was exuberant. "Drinking is to get drunk, to experience the dizziness after drinking. Yes, the ethereal feeling, like taking a stroll in the clouds. The contentment, the comfort, the elegance, the artistic conception … Tsk, tsk, tsk …"
Xiao Shaoqing closed his eyes and shook his head, as if reminiscing a long-lost sentiment.
"Therefore, it is certain that one cannot use mystical Qi when drinking."
Xiao Shaoqing enthusiastically promoted his fallacious theory to the rest, but the crowd only rolled their eyes at him. No one responded to his one-sided argument; even his heir, Bai Yixue, ignored it.
As the host, Yun Yang rolled his eyes, speechless for a long time at this fellow's bizarre theory.
Everyone present was a person of high status and authority. Even when they knew that there was no danger, who would dare seal their mystical Qi to drink?
Not to mention anything else, if everyone at this table were to seal their Xuan Qi while drinking, if an enemy were to suddenly appear at this time, wouldn't they be wiped out effortlessly by the enemy?
If that were to happen, it would be laughable enough to explain the absurdity of it all.
"Bastard!"
Dugu Chou gritted his teeth in anger.
He finally understood why this guy had made such a low-level mistake back then. He didn't know how long he had lost his things, but he didn't know.
So this was the truth!
It turned out that when this fellow drank wine, he would first seal his Xuan Qi …
"You've roamed outside for so long, yet you're still alive. You must be blessed with great fortune!" Dugu Chou's face was as dark as the bottom of a wok.
"Master, you flatter me too much. Although this is the truth …" Xiao Shaoqing's face drooled. "This disciple's fortune and luck are all because of you, Master …"
"Scram!"
Before he could finish, he was kicked away by Dugu Chou again.
"Don't learn from your master … Sigh …" Dugu Chou said.
Bai Yixue, who had been keeping quiet out of fear, tried his best to shrink himself and reduce his presence, but he had not expected to be dragged out. He said with a pained expression, "This disciple obeys and will do his best …"
Bao'er, who had not been seen for a long time, was crawling on His Majesty's knee, his face filled with reluctance.
I'm already so big, why are you still treating me like a child of two or three years old? Shouldn't an adult's knee be a place for a child to crawl on?
However, once the emperor saw Bao'er, he could not move and wanted to carry him on his knee. It was something that no one could stop.
Everyone sat at the same table. His Majesty looked at this and that, overwhelmed with joy.
This was probably the Emperor of Yutang's long-awaited feeling of familial bliss. It was an inexplicable feeling that he had somehow obtained it!
In fact, it was normal for the Emperor of Yutang to have such thoughts. The people before him were people he liked and the wine was rare. The surrounding atmosphere was comfortable, relaxed, and unrestrained. There was no formality of a ruler or official, only brotherly love and the joy of familial bliss!
Amidst such an atmosphere, His Majesty's only thought was that this was perhaps the happiest meal he had ever had in his life.
Even Bao'er's soft body in his arms squirmed restlessly. His Majesty felt as if he was hugging the entire world in his arms.
Throughout the night, the emperor could not stop his laughter as he drank more and more.
However, no one stopped him.
Even Qiu Jianhan and Fang Qingtian did not try to stop him. To them, it had been too long since His Majesty could relax like this. To be able to get drunk so happily was a rare and precious enjoyment. How could they bear to interrupt him?
All these years, the Empire of Yutang had been in a precarious situation. His Majesty and the few old men had been shouldering so much pressure!
It was because they felt the same that they could empathize and share the same thoughts!
Now, the pressure had finally come to an end. It had not been easy to get through these few years.
If it had been a few people with weaker mental fortitude, they would have broken down long ago and committed suicide many times over!
"Bao'er, my good grandson, come, come. Grandpa Emperor wants to test you today." The emperor stroked his beard, his gaze affectionate as he smiled benevolently. The dignity of an empire's monarch was nowhere to be seen. He no longer had the title of emperor; all that was left was the identity of a grandfather!
Everyone smiled as they watched the good show between the grandfather and the grandson.
"What does Grandpa Emperor want to test Bao'er on?" Bao'er tilted his head.
"Yes, Grandpa Emperor wants to test you … What have you learned during this period of time … Yes, let me think." The emperor tapped his forehead, thinking about what question to ask. It could not be too difficult, but it could not be easy either. This was a problem; he did not know Bao'er's current learning progress!
After thinking for a long time, he still could not come up with a good idea. He asked gently, "Bao'er, what have you been learning these days?"
Bao'er said, "Nothing much. A few days ago, uncle asked me to think about a question. I've been thinking about this question for the past few days. That's all."
His Majesty was obviously very interested in this topic. He said with a grin, "What question did he ask you to think about? Tell grandpa Emperor! "
Bao'er said innocently, "That day, uncle told me the story of 'when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden' … and the relationship between this saying and reality."
The crowd had been watching His Majesty play with his grandson with a grin on their faces, trying their best to be cooperative and interested.
However, when the words were spoken, especially when paired with Bao'er's childish voice, everyone felt as if there was a sudden rumble of thunder above their heads, as if a lightning tribulation was about to befall them!
For a moment, everyone's expressions were twisted. If it were not for their composure that had been trained for so many years, they would have made a fool of themselves in public.
Qiu Jianhan and Fang Qingtian, especially, stared blankly.
