"Write it down?"
The crown prince nodded.
It was indeed best for him to write it down. This way, Luo Zhao wouldn't be able to prepare in advance.
At the same time, he would be able to ascertain whether the matter of him stealing the treasure was real or not.
"Very well, let's see what you can write then. Otherwise, not only will I have to fight Hong Qian to the death today, I'll have to kill you too!"
Luo Zhao bellowed furiously.
Where was the disposition of a master teacher in him?
Luo Xuan and Bi Jianghai glanced at one another, and their lips twitched.
To be honest, if they were in Luo Zhao's place, they would have gone insane by now. It was already a miracle that they could still restrain themselves from killing the other party.
"Kill me?"
Paying no heed to Luo Zhao's roar, Zhang Xuan began writing furiously. A moment later, he put away his brush and passed the paper he had just written over.
Grabbing the paper, the crown prince and Luo shi scanned through it, and they were stunned for a moment before putting it down. Then, they turned to Luo Zhao and asked, "Luo shi, can you pass your storage ring over so that we can inspect it?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
He had no idea what was written on the paper, but he had never stolen anything before, so he had absolute confidence in himself. Naturally, he wasn't afraid of being inspected.
After harrumphing coldly, he removed the storage ring from his hand and passed it over to the crown prince.
Taking the storage ring, the crown prince scanned it with his consciousness, and not too long later, he flicked his wrist and took out a gourd.
"Luo shi, what's this?"
Seeing the crown prince taking out the gourd, Luo Zhao clasped his fist and said, "I value wine as much as my life, so this is … the wine I prepared for you!"
"Wine?"
The crown prince glanced at Luo Zhao and asked, "Are you certain?"
"Your Highness, it's wine! I'm certain! "Luo Zhao nodded.
"Alright!" The crown prince opened the gourd, and a rich wine aroma immediately filled the room.
"What a strong wine aroma!"
"It's indeed wine … Could it be that Luo shi stole a bottle of wine?"
"Surely not. Even if the wine tastes good, it's still just wine. How much can it be worth?"
"Indeed. Let's see what the crown prince has to say!"
…
Smelling the wine aroma, everyone was perplexed.
Could it be that all of this was just because Luo shi had snatched a bottle of wine from Hong Shi?
Cultivators paid attention to their cultivation, pills, artifacts, and wealth … Their appetite for good food had already been diluted. No matter how good the wine was, it wasn't worth it!
"This is it?"
The Crown Prince looked at the young man not far away.
"Yes!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"That's not right. This is indeed wine."
Hearing his confirmation, the Crown Prince and Wu Shi looked at each other and frowned.
When they uncorked the bottle, they also took a look. It was indeed wine, completely different from what the young man had written.
"There's no need to be anxious. It's easy to test whether it's true or not!"
Standing up, Zhang Xuan walked up to Feng Yu and asked, "Feng shi, may I trouble you with something?"
"No …"
Feng Yu shrunk his neck and shook his head.
Trouble me? What a joke!
You must be thinking that I haven't sustained enough injuries yet, so you want to beat me up again!
The first time I met you, you threw me down from the sky, and after that, Hong Shi pummeled me …
Putting that aside, just a moment ago, when Hong Shi said that he wanted to seek Luo shi's help, he ended up slapping him …
Under such circumstances, if I were to fall for it … I'm a dog!
"Don't worry, this is a good thing …"
Seeing how Feng Yu was on the verge of fainting upon hearing his request for help, Zhang Xuan was speechless.
I'm really doing this out of goodwill, but look at how scared you are …
I'm a master teacher, not a demon!
Why do you look as if you've seen a ghost when you heard my invitation?
"Even if it's a good thing, I won't go!" Feng shi shook his head vigorously.
"Alright, forget it then …" Seeing that the other party wasn't willing to help, Zhang Xuan scanned the surroundings before turning to Bi Jianghai. "Bi shi, come over here …"
"I …" Bi Jianghai's lips twitched, and he nearly burst into tears.
Who did I offend this time?
Didn't I just boast back then when we were in the finals? Surely you don't have to bear grudges until now?
"Don't worry, I'm just asking you to prove that this isn't wine!"
Seeing Bi Jianghai's expression, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"Alright then!" Gritting his teeth, Bi Jianghai walked over.
Seeing that Bi Jianghai was standing properly, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction. With a flick of his wrist, a dagger appeared in his hand. "Come, stretch out your hand!"
Bi Jianghai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gritted his teeth, and stretched out his arm.
"Not bad!"
With a light chuckle, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the dagger turned into a ray of light, plunging straight into Bi Jianghai's arm.
"AHHH!"
Bi Jianghai cried out in agony, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
If only he had known that it wouldn't be a good thing, he would have never thought that the other party would send him up just to stab him …
Looking at the fresh blood flowing down his arm, Bi Jianghai couldn't help but feel regret.
If only he had known, he would have learned from Feng Yu and feigned death.
"I knew that it wouldn't be a good thing …"
Seeing this sight, Feng Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
He knew that it wouldn't be a good thing when the other party sent him up. Now that he saw the other party bleeding profusely, he felt that not going up was the wisest decision in his life!
"Don't panic!"
Seeing that Bi Jianghai was on the verge of tears, Zhang Xuan consoled him. Then, he turned to the crown prince and said, "I'll be troubling Your Highness and Wu Shi then!"
"Un!"
The crown prince nodded his head and passed the wine gourd over.
After receiving the gourd, Zhang Xuan shook it in his hand before turning to Luo Zhao. "Luo shi, I'll ask you one more time. Are you sure that this is wine?"
"It's wine!" Luo Zhao nodded his head confidently.
"Alright then!"
Without any further explanation, Zhang Xuan held the wine gourd in his left hand and the dagger in Bi Jianghai's arm with his right hand.
Tzla!
Fresh blood spurted out from Bi Jianghai's arm.
In an instant, Bi Jianghai's face turned pale, and his vision darkened.
Even though it was only his arm that was stabbed, the pain was unbearable.
"Bear with it!"
Seeing Bi Jianghai in such a state, Zhang Xuan chuckled and poured the wine in his left hand onto Bi Jianghai's wound.
Tzzzzzzz!
As soon as the wine came into contact with Bi Jianghai's wound, a huge reaction immediately occurred. The wound on his arm healed at a visible rate, and in just a few moments, it was as if he had never been injured in the first place.
"This …"
"Could it be that this isn't wine but Saint recovery medicine?"
"Indeed. Only Saint recovery medicine is capable of healing wounds in the blink of an eye …"
Everyone widened their eyes in astonishment.
There was no cultivator who wouldn't get injured, and Saint recovery medicine was a necessity for all cultivators.
No matter how valuable Saint recovery pills were, it would take at least a few days for the wound to heal completely. Take Feng shi for example. If Saint recovery medicine could heal his wounds quickly, he wouldn't have rushed over with a swollen face.
Yet, this wine was able to heal such a ghastly wound with just a touch of it … Wasn't this too frightening?
Only the legendary Saint recovery medicine would be able to achieve such an effect!
"My wound …"
Bi Jianghai thought that it would take at least half a month for his wound to heal, but who could have thought that just a little wine would heal it completely? He widened his eyes in disbelief.
Wasn't this too incredible?
On the other hand, Feng shi, who was still gleeful a moment ago, was clutching his chest, unable to catch his breath. His intestines were turning green from regret.
It turned out that the other party had sent him up to test the Saint recovery medicine. If only he had known that this was going to happen, he wouldn't have put on such an act. If he had just gone up, his wounds would have healed by now …
"Alright, that's all I have to say. I'll leave the rest to the two of you!"
Paying no heed to the shock of the crowd, Zhang Xuan placed the wine gourd back on the table, clasped his fist toward the crown prince and Wu Shi, and walked away.
"Luo shi, you said that this is wine, but it's actually a Saint recovery medicine … Why don't you explain yourself?"
The crown prince asked impassively.
"I …"
Luo shi's lips twitched, and his body swayed weakly. "If I were to say that … it's really wine, would you believe me?"
At this moment, he felt as if he was going insane.
It was common knowledge that he loved wine as much as his life. This wine gourd was something that he carried with him everywhere he went, and it was filled with his favorite wine. When did it become a Saint recovery medicine?
"You are still trying to quibble at this point?"
The crown prince slammed the table furiously.
Everyone had witnessed the prowess of the medicinal wine, and yet, the other party was still trying to quibble? What in the world was he up to?
Did he think that he, the crown prince, was an easy target?
"Chen shi, I'll have to trouble you to recite this!"
After berating the crown prince, he flicked his wrist and tossed the piece of paper that Zhang Xuan had just written to Chen Yue.
"Yes!"
Catching the piece of paper, Chen Yue opened it, and as he read on, his face paled. "Luo shi stole the medicinal wine that Hong Shi had spent a huge sum of money to obtain. This medicinal wine is capable of treating injuries. Ordinary wounds can be healed by just pouring a little of it on them …"
"What else do you have to say for yourself?"
The crown prince turned to Luo Zhao and asked.
"I …"
Luo Zhao's vision darkened.
The truth was right before his eyes, how could he refute it?
"If he didn't steal it, how could Zhang Shi know that it's medicinal wine and its effects so clearly?" the crown prince continued.
Luo Zhao was frenzied.
What was going on, he couldn't figure it out now.
"It's all your doing!"
Suddenly recalling something, he glared at Zhang Xuan with a ferocious look on his face.
It's all that fellow's doing! His medicinal wine had been turned into a saint recovery medicine … It must be his doing!
"This gourd of medicinal wine was something that Hong shi intended to present to Wu shi and the others as a meeting gift, but you ended up stealing it instead … It's fortunate that Hong shi left some for me back then, so I was able to treat my injuries swiftly. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to return with my injuries …" Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan shook his head and said, "This gourd of medicinal wine was something that Hong shi intended to present to Wu shi and the others as a gift, but it ended up being snatched away by you … It's fortunate that Hong shi left some for me back then so that I could recover from my injuries swiftly.
"I see!"
Hearing those words, the crowd came to a realization.
They had been wondering why Hong Shi was completely unharmed when Feng shi and the others were the ones who had beaten him up.
As it turned out, he had left some recovery medicine behind to treat his injuries.
This way, everything that had been illogical previously made sense.
"Luo Zhao, what else do you have to say for yourself?"
The crown prince looked at Chen Yue with deep disappointment in his eyes.
(Yesterday, I said that I resembled Wu Jing when I was younger, and everyone scoffed at me. Laoya was furious, so he posted a picture of himself and Wu Jing on his WeChat public account. After comparing the two of them, they really do resemble each other. Laoya's nickname in high school was really Wu Jing, and it wasn't a lie. If you want to take a look, you can search for 'Sweeping the World' on WeChat and follow him.)
