"Oh, 'Since ancient times, the sages were all lonely, only those who drank left their names'. Very few people know about the eight tastes of drinking. It's not surprising that Mister doesn't know." Ling Tian's words caused Ye QingChen's face to turn red and white, feeling extremely uncomfortable. "Then, Mister must know about the eight tastes of drinking?"
"… Oh! I don't know about this, please elaborate. " Ye QingChen's face was dripping with cold sweat, the wine he had just drunk had already sobered up by half.
"Oh ~, then Mister must know about the eight tastes of drinking!" Ling Tian's tone changed to one of certainty. He seemed to be comforting Ye QingChen.
"This …" Ye QingChen's old face turned into a persimmon in late autumn, red with a tinge of purple.
"Oh, I didn't expect Mister to still not know, I'm lonely!" While Ling Tian's tone was filled with regret, it was also filled with disappointment. He shook his head as though he did not intend to ask any further. After a long while, he asked as though he was holding onto the last bit of hope, "Then, does Mister Ling Tian know about the 'Eight Lands of Drinking'?" This question seemed to have a hint of reproach. What he meant was, 'You said that no one in the world knows more about drinking than you. Why can't you answer all my questions? You should know the last one right? '
The green robed fortune teller, Ye QingChen, was completely ashamed and unable to show his face! His face had turned a deep shade of purple, and he stammered, with a hint of begging for mercy in his eyes. His originally arrogant head drooped down bit by bit! It was as though he was looking for a hole in the ground, so that he could quickly crawl into it!
To be able to force this Immortal of Drinking, a martial arts expert, into such a state with just a few words, Ling Tian could not be said to be the first in the future, but it could be said to be unprecedented!
Ye QingChen let out a long sigh, his expression extremely dispirited. He grabbed the wine jug and filled his cup before raising it up. He was just about to drink it all when he suddenly realized that he was so arrogant and conceited, yet he couldn't even answer a few questions of a junior in the Dao of Wine. So, what qualifications did he have to drink the best wine in the world? Thinking till here, he could not help but slowly put down the cup and let out another long sigh. His expression was bleak.
"Ugh!" Ling Tian seemed to have suddenly woken up. With a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, he said, "This junior was just speaking casually. Senior, you don't have to take it to heart. Since we are close friends in the Dao of Wine, we are here to learn from each other. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us! Please, please! "He raised his wine cup and made an inviting gesture.
It was just a casual remark! Ye QingChe almost jumped up! You've smashed this old man's decades of pride into nothingness, and all that's left is my inferiority complex. You've degraded this old man to the point that he's worthless. And now, you're saying that you were just casually speaking! If his fellow Daoists from the Wine Nation knew about this, how would he put his old face?!
Just as he was about to jump up and fly into a rage, he suddenly remembered that his knowledge was far inferior to the other party's. Even if the other party were to reprimand him, what was the point of it? Could it be that he had to answer the question that the other party had asked him? Although he didn't know the answer to that question, the other wine lovers might not know either. Moreover, the other party wasn't wrong. Wine lovers were just trying to learn from each other. What reason did he have to be angry? What was he angry about?! He couldn't help but laugh involuntarily. Almost subconsciously, he raised his wine cup to his lips. Suddenly, he felt that even this peerless wine that he had never tasted before had become tasteless! Drinking it in his mouth was like ingesting Chinese goldthread. It was unbearably bitter!
"Today, after meeting with Mister, the problem that had been troubling Ling Tian for many years has been resolved. I am greatly comforted. The weight in my heart has been swept away. I still have to thank Mister for his kindness in teaching me." Ling Tian stood up and bowed deeply, as if he was about to leave. Although he was saying words of gratitude, his face revealed a faint melancholy expression. It was as if he was trying his best to hide it.
What kind of person was the green robed fortune teller Ye QingChen? It wasn't easy for him to meet someone who could chat with him to his heart's content in the art of wine. Furthermore, this person was much more knowledgeable than him. How could he let go of this opportunity? Furthermore, when he heard Ling Tian talk about the eight tastes of wine, the eight grounds of wine, the eight prohibitions of wine, and the eight people of wine, his heart was already itching. He stood up and grabbed Ling Tian's sleeve. He hurriedly said, "Young Master, please wait."
Ling Tian's eyes flashed with a trace of pride as he turned around. When he turned back, his face was filled with confusion. "Erm, I wonder if Mister still has anything to teach me?"
Ye QingChen's eyes widened, the moustache under his chin trembling slightly. His throat gurgled a few times, but he realized that he had nothing to say. Could it be that with his status, he had to say something like 'Young Master, please stay and enlighten this old man?' If that was the case, he might as well just bang his head against the wall and die! Although it was reasonable to ask a question that he didn't know, he was already a man of sixty years of age. If he had to lower his voice and ask for advice from a fifteen to sixteen year old youth, would he still want his old face?
But if he wanted to keep his old face, he was afraid that the truth of wine would have to pass by him! What should he do?
Seeing the difficult expression on Ye QingChen's face, Ling Tian laughed in his heart. Ling Tian did not have the slightest intention of looking down on an expert like Ye QingChen. He didn't even dare to have the slightest intention of toying with him! Thus, to be able to push such an expert to such a state, Ling Tian was very impressed with himself. However …
But until now, Ye QingChen was still a mystery in Ling Tian's eyes! An abnormally huge, difficult to solve, and unsolvable mystery!
Where did this person come from? What did he come here for? What was his purpose? How many secrets did he have? Why did he know so much? Question after question piled up in Ling Tian's heart. If he didn't get to the bottom of these questions, even if Ye QingChen wanted to leave, Ling Tian would definitely not let him go!
However, Ye QingChen was definitely not someone who relied on martial strength, wealth, or charisma to make him submit. If Ling Tian wanted to obtain information from someone who could make Ye QingChen submit to him, he would have to find another way to obtain information from Ye QingChen. Ling Tian tested Ye QingChen repeatedly before confirming that there was a way to obtain information from him. In other words, from the moment Ling Tian instructed Ling Chen to return to the mansion to retrieve the Green Bamboo Leaf Wine, Ye QingChen had already fallen into Ling Tian's trap!
Ling Tian's face revealed a difficult expression, as though he was in a difficult position, "Mister, you and I hit it off, regretting that we didn't meet earlier. Mister's abilities and knowledge are out of this world, and Ling Tian admires you greatly. Originally, I wanted to ask for your guidance, but it was already late. If it was during normal times, it wouldn't be a problem. But Mister should also know that Sky Bearing is currently in troubled times, and if you were to stay outside for too long, I'm afraid that your family will be worried."
