If more people came, that meant they had to drink more!
Although the brothers Liu Jingwei and Liu Jingwei had been blocking the wine, they were still unable to stop so many people! After half a round of wine, the two of them were drunk and Liu Jingtian was able to walk crookedly back into the room, but Liu Jinglun just directly fell on the ground. And what was most astonishing was that even though Lin Bai had drank until his face had turned pale, he still drank one cup after another, and did not refuse any of them.
The many guests did not know the reason, but they only thought that Lin Bai was feeling better after having his son, and that the more he poured, the fiercer he became. However, Chen Baian, who was sitting in a corner of the banquet, knew very well why Lin Bai had to drink so much.
Lin Bai was not joyous, he was drunk! Drunk and confused, he no longer had to think about anything. He no longer had to think about what he was going to do next, nor did he have to think about how he would be separated from his family after a short reunion. Nor did he have to think about this.
The banquet lasted until very late. In the end, even Old Master Liu and Old Master He were drunk and carried away by their families. Most of the guests who came to join in the fun were also slightly tipsy on the surface. The people who were on good terms with Liu He and his family had enjoyed their drinks, but for those who were not on good terms with them, the wine had a sour taste to it.
At this point, nothing could ever happen again. No matter how unhappy and confused they were, they all understood one principle, and as long as the grandson of Old Liu family was still around, even if Old Man Liu suddenly died, the Liu family's momentum would only become more and more powerful, and they would not be in a dire situation!
Standing at the door, he saw off all the guests. Lin Bai turned and saw that Chen Baian, Shen Lingfeng and Xu Sou were seated without moving, he laughed lightly and said: "You three, this is the inn's place, if you have anything to say, go to my courtyard and talk. I have already prepared a big wine, don't worry, we will not be able to drink until we are drunk!"
The three of them nodded their heads and followed Lin Bai to the courtyard.
The night was as cold as water. Stars were shining in the sky, and the Milky Way cut across the sky like a ribbon. The densely packed stars were competing with the moon to see through everything in this world. They were fighting to see what the future would be like!
The courtyard was incomparably quiet. Under the moonlight, it was incomparably quiet and beautiful. From the flower pots in the courtyard, the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects could be heard. In a corner of the courtyard, there was a big blue stone fish tank with a red carp in it. It would occasionally spit out bubbles and water ripples, secretly looking at the few people sitting in the courtyard.
Lin Bai, Chen Baian, Xu Sou and Shen Lingfeng sat facing each other around the stone table in the courtyard. A transparent wine cup was placed on the table. Under the moonlight, the wine appeared extremely hazy. For some unknown reason, the originally calm and tranquil scene had an unceasingly strange flavor that caused one to feel suspicious.
The girls did not return to the courtyard. Under Lin Bai's arrangements, they followed the two elders back to the main courtyard. Therefore, after the few of them returned, the courtyard was extremely deserted.
"The layout of your courtyard is really not bad. The luxury revealed a simple and honest feeling, and the location of the courtyard was picked even better. It was a treasured Feng Shui land suitable for living in a suitable place to stay. " Xu Sou seemed to be extremely interested in Lin Bai's courtyard. After sitting down, he looked around non-stop.
"It's just a hiding place, it's nothing compared to Elder Chen's room." Lin Bai raised his wine cup and took a sip, then chuckled: "Elder Xu, if there's something you want to say, just say it, you don't have to keep me guessing. I drank too much, I'm too lazy to think!"
"I say, let's drink first! We'll talk about the rest later! " Shen Lingfeng saw that Lin Bai's expression was not right, and laughed as he raised up his wine cup. Then, he took out something from his pocket and handed it over to Lin Bai, and laughed: "Earlier, you said you wanted me to prepare a big present, so I went back to look for it. I think that the thing that entered your eyes wasn't much, so I found such a small thing!"
When Lin Bai heard this, he stretched out his hand to take the black mass. He placed it in his palm and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. It turned out that Shen Lingfeng had handed over a crowned child who wielded a scepter for riding a dragon. It was made of fine materials and white jade. It was full of water, so even if it was placed in the water, it wouldn't get wet.
That carving technique was even more exquisite. With a few brushes, it drew the appearance of a dragon swallowing clouds and spitting mist, and the way it flew was extremely vivid. Although the brush and ink that was used on the boy's face was extremely small, it also depicted his expression. This kind of carving technique was definitely not something an ordinary person could create. He must be a master level figure in the Chinese Jade Carving Inheritance.
"Lingfeng, how are you going to take this out?" Chen Baian was curious, he glanced at Lin Bai's hand, but his face could not help but reveal a look of astonishment, and he stared at him: "This piece of Legendary Badge carved by Master Lu Zigang is the only thing that your master left for you, how could you take it out?"
"Shen Ge, I absolutely cannot take this!" Hearing Chen Baian's words, Lin Bai's face changed. He extended his hand out to push the pendant back to Shen Lingfeng. He was also a disciple with a sect inheritance, and was very clear on the weight this sect inheritance held in people's hearts, furthermore, Sima Qingfeng had already passed on, so this item was something that Shen Lingfeng had entrusted to him, something that he could not accept.
Shen Lingfeng smiled faintly, pushed the object over and said: "This piece was indeed carved by Master Lu Zizang, but the jade was found by our sect. This is the cold jade that was dug out from the far north back in the day. It nourishes the soul and nurtures the spirit, and it can protect children from evil spirits. Moreover, since Junior Apprentice Sister is with you, and I miss Master, I have come to look for her! "
"Since Ling Feng is determined to give it to you, you can keep it." After Chen Baian heard this, he sighed and did not say anymore. From Shen Lingfeng's resolute expression, it wasn't hard for him to tell that this was probably equivalent to the compensation Shen Lingfeng had to offer him. If he refused Lin Bai's offer due to helping him, it would make the feeling of debt in Shen Lingfeng's heart become even heavier.
After Lin Bai heard this, he did not reject anymore, and kept the thing back into his pocket, smiling as he nodded his head and thanked Shen Lingfeng.
"Let's not talk anymore. Let's not drink any more wine. Let's work out how to travel around the eight kingdoms!" Xu Sou's expression remained calm as he swept his eyes over everyone, and said indifferently: "The people from the Fortune Telling Agency have received news that the surrounding eight nations' wondrous sects and rivers are abnormally lively. There are even many people who want to come to Hua Xia, but have been stopped by our people."
Lin Bai took out a cigarette from his pocket, lightly puffed on it, and stared at Xu Sou in silence.
"After the first round of the international phase art competition, the ones who felt the most hatred towards you were the Koreans! "You should know that they are used to it. This time, they have suffered such a huge setback. How can you call it quits?!" Xu Sou's tone was still flat and unperturbed, he continued: "So my initial plan was for you to go to Korea, establish your dominance there, and then start your journey!"
"Apart from South Korea, the ones with the most hidden grudges are the Fusang Dwarfs. According to my initial estimates, there should be four old antiques trying to teach you a lesson. However, I estimate that at least two of them are no match for you! As long as I defeat any one of them, I will be able to escape unscathed and strengthen my China's prestige! "
"After Fu Sang finishes, you can go to the Southeast Asian Nations Conference and meet those Descending Division s! I believe that with their previous experience dealing with Gu Masters, their little tricks will not be noticed by you. However, in the past two years, it was rumored that someone from the Descending Division s had flown down, so you must not be careless against this person! "
"Then I will pay a visit to some of the Brahmans of Hinduism. I will take a look at the appearance of those ascetic cultivators who ride the White Elephants to drink the clear water! Wait until this matter is over, then you can go to Nepal and visit some of the experts from the Buddhist Secret Sect! "Legend has it that both Hindu and Nepalese have come into being recently, so you can't underestimate them!"
Xu Sou went on endlessly, narrating all the plans he had in his heart for Lin Bai, and as he spoke, his eyebrows revealed a hint of color, as though he had already seen Lin Bai stepping on the ground, destroying all eight Dragon Locking Board s, and then letting the Chinese phase technique laugh at all the heroes present.
"But what if I can't win against them? "It's not like you don't know that Zhao Song's descendents' mentors could pull a fast one at any time. If they cause too much trouble, how can we cover it up?" Lin Bai pondered for a moment, then asked Xu Sou with an indifferent smile on his face.
"Those fellows from Korea are too arrogant. It is said that after Pu Youhe returned to his country, they even preached about having to suffer a collective attack from a large number of Chinese strategists, which caused their trip to fail! As for Fu Sang, no matter if it's the Ninja Arts or the yin and yang, he is just a little trash at the weimen and Phase Change Techniques. Xu Sou indifferently repeated himself.
Lin Bai held onto his cigarette, and after smoking it, he laughed: "What if I can't win against those people?"
"This matter doesn't have 10,000 points, just in case!" Xu Sou's expression turned cold, he tightened his grip on the wine cup in front of him and said.
"It's just that if something happens and you still want me to die outside, then why don't you go and collect my corpse? What is there to be afraid of?" Lin Bai said with a self-deprecating look on his face, "I agree to your conditions, but the choice of people to travel with me must be decided by me!"
