55: Chapter 55 Brother, I want to make a contract with Big Brother!

"As for this wine, just keep it for yourself to drink slowly!"

Li Xiao said, and the old master snorted, "You, my own son, sigh!"

"I actually think we can swap out your Uncle Yu's wine and keep that for me to drink! The one he brought is truly good wine!"

"Go on, get out of here!" Old Master Yu waved his hand, his face full of helplessness.

However, as Old Master Yu looked at Li Xiao's expression and listened to his words, he felt something wasn't quite right.

Why did it feel like Li Xiao was implying there was something special about this wine?

"I think we should do this—let's just drink what you brought! Come! Bring it over, let me see what kind of good wine it is!"

As Old Master Yu spoke, the others chimed in.

Li Xiao had no choice but to give the wine to Old Master Yu.

Pop!

Old Master Yu opened the lid, and in the next moment, a rich aroma of wine, mingled with a misty medicinal fragrance, wafted out.

Hmm?!

In an instant, as everyone caught the scent of the wine, their eyes widened, unable to believe what they were smelling!

This wine fragrance!

And the medicinal scent!

This was top-tier wine!

Even Li Zhenhai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened as he stared at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao simply shrugged, his expression clearly saying that he had just given him a wink, but he had been completely indifferent, so he couldn't blame him now.

Old Master Li looked at Li Xiao's behavior, and his mouth twitched.

You brat, couldn't you have been a bit more obvious?!

The other family heads nearby and Old Master Yu watched the eye contact between the two and were instantly amused!

Good, good, good!

So this is how you want to play, huh?!

Trying to be sneaky, are we?!

Let's see if we don't drink all of your wine today!

"Come, come, come, let's go have a taste!"

"Right, the food over there should be ready! Let's not just sit here, let's go!"

Old Master Yu carried the wine and walked toward the banquet hall.

A while later.

Li Xiao poured the wine for everyone.

Everyone took a small sip. As the fine wine entered their throats, it immediately transformed into surging energy, washing through their bodies. Combined with the medicinal effects, it slowly began to repair their internal injuries.

That healing sensation made them even more enamored.

This single sip caused everyone to close their eyes and enjoy it for a long time.

"Good wine!"

Li Zhenhai nodded, not holding back his praise!

Afterward, everyone began to toast and drink together.

Li Zhenhai looked at them; it was clear they intended to finish all of his wine.

Good heavens, they didn't plan on leaving him even a drop?

A pang of heartache immediately welled up!

It seemed he wouldn't be able to save any for himself to enjoy.

A while later, the banquet ended.

The old masters went to have tea.

Li Zhenhai stepped out of the Reception Hall.

Then, he saw Li Xiao.

"Tell me, what's going on? The Purgatory Training Camp has always ended on time for so many years. Why did it end early this time?" Compared to the wine, Li Zhenhai was more concerned about this anomaly.

Li Xiao then explained the situation.

Hiss!

Hearing this, Li Zhenhai narrowed his eyes, his expression turning solemn. "You're saying Ye Qing has multiple Contracts and hasn't damaged his Origin? Doesn't that mean he's only contracting with low-level Weapon Spirits?"

"Yes, his Weapon Spirits were likely at the very bottom tier originally, but after Contracting with him, they all underwent Ancestral Return and became stronger! They turned into extraordinary Weapon Spirits! I've never seen anything like this before!"

"Old Master, you're well-traveled and experienced. Have you ever seen such a thing? This kid is just too unique!"

"This kid truly is quite peculiar."

Li Zhenhai thought, "This kid truly is worth inviting over; I'd like to meet him."

"He's already been invited. Mubai will bring him over tomorrow."

"You did well on that!"

As Li Zhenhai spoke, anticipation began to build in his heart.

"Alright, I didn't quite eat my fill just now. I'm going to the kitchen."

After Li Zhenhai finished speaking, he walked toward the kitchen.

After all, there was still a bit of wine left in that small flask. If poured out, it would make about one small cup.

He couldn't let that go to waste.

Humming a little tune, he arrived at the kitchen!

And then!

Looking inside, he saw Old Master Yu, Yu Zhongtian, standing there, pouring wine into a small cup!

"What are you doing!"

Li Zhenhai shouted immediately, his eyes fixed on the cup.

Yu Zhongtian: "..."

Then he simply picked up the cup and downed it in one gulp.

Li Zhenhai: "..." Argh!

You old geezer!

With thunder in his heart but a face as calm as a lake, Li Zhenhai said, "Old Yu, this... this isn't very dignified of you."

"If it's undignified, then it's undignified. It's fine. Anyway, I got to drink it, otherwise it would have gone to waste, right? Drinking it is better than not drinking it."

Yu Zhongtian's words were meant to annoy Li Zhenhai, leaving him completely speechless.

"I'll be heading back in a bit. Since the Purgatory Training Camp is over, my grandson should be back from the camp too. I wonder how he did in there."

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Outside the welcome banquet for Ye Qing.

Zheng Yuxin stood there, staring blankly at the distant scenery.

Who knows what she was thinking, but her face wore a blushing expression, like a young girl in love.

A slightly tipsy Zheng Jia also came out. Seeing his sister standing there in a daze, he walked over.

"Yuxin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, Brother."

"Then why aren't you going inside?" Tipsy, Zheng Jia leaned against the railing next to Zheng Yuxin. "Something on your mind? Tell your brother, I'll help you solve it!"

"Really?!"

Zheng Yuxin looked at Zheng Jia, then lightly bit her lip, looking too embarrassed to speak. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Brother! I want to Contract with Brother Ye Qing!"

Huh?!

Hearing Zheng Yuxin's words, Zheng Jia was instantly stunned!

His body shuddered, and his drunken state cleared up by thirty percent in an instant.

What did his own sister just say?

She wants to Contract with Ye Qing?!

What the hell!

You're my sister!

And now you want to be my sister-in-law?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Zheng Jia blurted out immediately.

Humph!

Zheng Yuxin's eyebrows shot up!

"Brother, why are you lying? You just said anything was fine, and now that I finally worked up the courage to say it, you say no!"

"I'm never talking to you again!"

Seeing his sister like this, Zheng Jia knew she was truly angry. He walked over and patted her head.

"You silly girl."

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but..."

"The gap between you two is just too large!"

"Big Brother can already subdue a Giant Tiger like that!"

"And you... your black lotus glazed lamp won't be of much use to him. If you say it now, you'll almost certainly be rejected."

"Sister, why put yourself through this?"

Zheng Jia said earnestly. Zheng Yuxin stomped her foot. "Are you going to help me ask or not? If you won't, I'll go tell Brother Ye Qing myself!"

"Even if the chance is small, I have to try!"

Seeing Zheng Yuxin like this, Zheng Jia sighed. "Sigh, fine, I'll go talk to Big Brother."

He looked at Zheng Yuxin. He hadn't expected this little girl to have such feelings for Big Brother.
