Chapter 439: If You Can't Drink, Don't Drink

"Senior Brother, don't go back. Let's head down the mountain to the town; I'll treat you and Tudouzi to a meal."

"Consider it my apology for being blind to your worth before."

Seeing Lin Bai intended to leave, Wei Xiang hurried forward to block his path, wearing a look of ingratiating flattery.

"Do you want to go?"

Lin Bai did not answer directly but fixed his gaze on Wang Yuping.

Wang Yuping looked slightly conflicted; naturally, he was delighted to have the chance to trick Wei Xiang.

Yet he feared Lin Bai might not want to go.

"Then let's go; I have nothing to do today anyway."

Lin Bai understood Wang Yuping's meaning, and since Lin Bai always adhered to the principle of never refusing a free meal, he accepted the other's invitation.

Seeing Lin Bai agree, Wei Xiang was overjoyed.

"Senior Brother, let's go."

Wei Xiang led the way, with Lin Bai and Wang Yuping following closely behind.

"Where are they? How have they all disappeared?"

When Feng Feng Yunzheng rushed back, he found the foot of the mountain, previously packed with people, now empty of all souls; not even a shadow remained.

"Sigh, this Sect Master and Lu Duan are truly causing trouble."

Feng Feng Yunzheng muttered in dissatisfaction, even stamping his foot.

Seeing a disciple bow to him, Feng Feng Yunzheng quickly adjusted his sleeves as if nothing had happened and returned to Qingluan Peak.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai and the others soon arrived in the town and reached the restaurant Wei Xiang frequented.

As soon as Wei Xiang and the others entered, the restaurant owner personally greeted them.

"Wei Xiang, you're here. Hurry upstairs to the private room."

"Your senior brother is already waiting there."

The innkeeper skillfully guided Lin Bai and the others to the door of a private room.

Opening the door, Lin Bai saw Lin Yunzhong sitting upright there.

"Boss, same as always, and add another pot of good wine."

After Lin Bai and the others entered, Wei Xiang instructed the owner.

The owner nodded, turned, and went down to make arrangements.

"I didn't expect the senior brother to be here too."

Lin Bai walked forward and sat in the chair opposite Lin Yunzhong.

Wang Yuping and Wei Xiang took their seats on either side of the two.

"Hmm, I happened to be free today."

"Wei Xiang intended to treat us as an apology but felt too embarrassed to come alone, so he asked me to accompany him."

"Junior brother, you don't mind, do you?"

Lin Yunzhong nodded; since resolving the matter of the Thousand-Year Snake Beauty, he had been thinking he must interact with Lin Bai more often in the future.

Now Wei Xiang had created an opportunity for him; it seemed this useless junior brother of his was sometimes quite useful.

"Of course, I don't mind."

Lin Bai waved his hand.

It was a joke; since he wasn't the one paying for the meal, why would he mind a damn thing?

Before long, all the dishes were served to the table.

Wei Xiang poured wine for Lin Bai and the others until their cups were full, then stood up, raised his glass, and looked at Lin Bai.

"Senior brother, previously I failed to recognize a great man."

"I am deeply grateful that you do not hold it against me today."

"From now on, you are my brother; I dare not claim to have great power in this Endless Land."

"But if senior brother has any matter, just give the order."

"Anything I can do, I will spare no effort."

"I will also punish myself with three cups for the previous matter; from now on, your affairs are my affairs."

"Whoever bullies a disciple of Qingluan Peak is making an enemy of me."

After Wei Xiang finished speaking, he drained the wine in his cup in one gulp, then poured two more cups and drank them down.

Seeing this, Wang Yuping was slightly stunned; he did not know Wei Xiang could drink so much.

However, the few words the other had just spoken made him feel very pleased.

"I simply could not stand you targeting the disciples on Qingluan Peak."

"From now on, as long as you do not target them, there will be no great enmity between us."

Lin Bai smiled and nodded, also drinking a cup of wine in return.

He felt a strange, slight fondness for Wei Xiang.

"Junior brother, if you need anything in the future, you can come find me."

After Wei Xiang sat down, Lin Yunzhong spoke calmly.

Lin Bai nodded.

For some reason, although what Wei Xiang had done before was very excessive, Lin Bai did not particularly dislike Wei Xiang.

He even felt that as long as the other could change, it would be fine.

On the contrary, this Lin Yunzhong always gave Lin Bai an indescribable feeling.

Especially those eyes of his, full of calculation, made Lin Bai feel quite uncomfortable.

However, Lin Bai would not make it too obvious, after all, his guesses might not necessarily be accurate.

It was just that regarding Lin Yunzhong, Lin Bai would be overly cautious.

"Senior Brother, do you know? If it hadn't been for you this time, I would have long since lost my life."

"From now on, you are my Senior Brother, my big brother."

"If you need anything, just order your brother; your brother will not decline."

After the meal neared its end, Lin Bai and the others planned to return to the Place of No Beginning.

However, along the way, Wei Xiang An kept hugging Lin Bai's neck and repeating the same sentence.

Lin Bai felt somewhat helpless.

Seeing this, Wang Yuping quickly helped Wei Xiang An to the side.

"Wei Xiang An, if you said you couldn't drink, then don't drink."

"After drinking, it's not embarrassing enough; you've disgraced the face of our Place of No Beginning."

Wang Yuping couldn't help but complain.

The next second, Wei Xiang An vomited with a "Wa!" and, unfortunately, all of it landed on Wang Yuping.
