Chapter 176: Hua Xiangxi Sees the Improved Heroic Liquor

Hearing the words of the Qingfeng War Emperor, Yu Xian'er emerged from within the Qing Sword.

His legs went weak, and he slumped powerlessly to the ground.

Because of the five‑layer trial, her sweat soaked her clothes, and her disheveled hair stuck to her cheeks.

However.

At the moment she heard the Qingfeng War Emperor say, "Congratulations, you have successfully passed the Five Emperors Ultimate Examination,"

A relieved smile appeared on her exhausted face.

She thought.

Her own efforts and outstanding performance.

Those of the Imperial Clan who always look down on others, those who despise her, ought to finally look at her with new eyes, right?

She gave a cold snort, then forced herself up, looked at the Qingfeng War Emperor, and spoke with a voice tinged with weakness yet full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Uncle Qingfeng, for making this possible."

The Qingfeng War Emperor waved his hand, a gentle smile on his face, also stunned by Yu Xian'er's strength and talent, he slowly said: "No need to be polite."

"Your achievements come entirely from your own ability and effort."

"However, speaking of it, your present achievements are inseparable from the help of your future master."

"You should thank him greatly."

Saying this,

The Qingfeng War Emperor raised his hand and pointed to Lin Yang beside him.

Yu Xian'er blinked in surprise, her eyes full of doubt, not understanding why Uncle Qingfeng would say that, and she couldn't help asking: "Uncle Qingfeng, what do you mean?"

The Qingfeng War Emperor patiently explained: "Your awakening of the Five Emperors Bloodline is entirely due to your master's merit; it is he who gave you a tenfold comprehension ability, allowing you to grasp the Five Emperors Bloodline so easily."

Hearing this, Yu Xian'er's face filled with shock.

No wonder that, during the Five Emperors Ultimate Examination, I had several moments of sudden enlightenment to the spirit in desperate situations.

In her perception, there was always a mysterious force aiding her sudden enlightenment.

It turned out that all of this was Lin Yang granting her a tenfold comprehension ability.

She hurriedly looked at Lin Yang and sincerely thanked him: "Thank you, Young Master Lin, for your help."

"Such kindness, I, Xian'er, will surely repay it with a spring's gratitude."

Lin Yang's lips curled slightly, revealing a gentle smile as he waved his hand and said: "No need for this; as future master and disciple, we need not be so formal."

Yu Xian'er's cheeks flushed slightly; the favor Lin Yang showed her was too great, and deep down she had already accepted him as her future master.

However, she still had her own matters to finish before she could peacefully become a disciple of Lin Yang's school.

She was about to speak, to voice the worries in her heart.

And Lin Yang naturally saw what she was thinking; he raised his hand, lightly waved it, and interrupted her, saying: "Taking on a master is not something to rush."

"Care for a drink?"

"Come on."

"Have a seat."

"Let's have two cups together."

The Qingfeng War Emperor also chimed in from the side: "This drink is actually not bad; Xian'er, you can try a sip."

Seeing Lin Yang and the Qingfeng War Emperor speak thus, Yu Xian'er nodded and slowly sat down.

Jiang Yuehuo watched the scene, the corner of her mouth twitching up as she revealed a sly smile.

She secretly wondered if those two could help her get Lin Yang drunk.

Then she could take advantage of Lin Yang's intoxication to quietly seize him.

"Hahaha!" the Qingfeng War Emperor laughed heartily, then lifted his bowl and said to Lin Yang, "Brother Lin, let's drain a bowl!"

Lin Yang smiled and replied: "All right, bottoms up!"

After saying that, Lin Yang turned to Yu Xian'er and said: "Xian'er, you join us in drinking as well."

"Yes!"

Yu Xian'er lifted her bowl, giving a slight nod to Lin Yang and the Qingfeng War Emperor.

Immediately, she lifted the bowl and took a light sip.

The next second, her eyes lit up in surprise as she exclaimed, "Young Master Lin, this isn't Heroic Liquor, is it?"

Lin Yang gave a slight nod: "Exactly."

"Any problem?"

Yu Xian'er asked, bewildered: "Why does the taste differ so much?"

After all, compared to the Heroic Liquor she had drunk before, this liquor's flavor and aroma are worlds apart.

Lin Yang chuckled and explained: "I merely made a few adjustments."

"Adjustments?"

Hearing that, Yu Xian'er looked astonished.

Immediately, she recalled what Hua Xiangxi had once said.

She tentatively asked: "Young Master Lin, is this adjustment method the one you once discussed with the Flower Shopkeeper?"

Lin Yang nodded: "Exactly, that's the method."

"However, it seems she didn't take it in."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian'er instantly realized how precious the advice Hua Xiangxi's booth had missed was.

As a friend of Hua Xiangxi, she hurriedly said: "Young Master Lin, may I give this liquor to the Flower Shopkeeper to try?"

Lin Yang drained his cup in one gulp and then said lightly: "It doesn't really matter."

If you want to give it to her, then let her have a taste.

Thank you!

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Yu Xian'er was overjoyed, hastily lifted the wine bowl and hurried away.

Seeing that, Lin Yang watched Yu Xian'er's retreating back, smiling as he said to Qingfeng War Emperor: "Qingfeng War Emperor, keep the cups coming."

Come on, keep drinking, keep drinking.

Okay, keep going!

Qingfeng War Emperor also responded in high spirits.

The two clinked cups again.

At this moment.

The hall of the Heroic Wine Tavern was bustling to an extraordinary degree.

After all, this drinking competition is drawing to a close.

Hua Xiangxi and Beiyang Dao stood on the podium, cheers ongoing.

Regarding this drinking competition, Hua Xiangxi felt thoroughly satisfied.

The sales of Heroic Wine reached a new high.

Customers' reviews of Heroic Wine remained as good as ever.

This gave her a great sense of accomplishment.

In her elation, she inadvertently recalled Lin Yang, who had doubted the Heroic Wine in the Heavenly Character Private Room.

She couldn't help but sneer inwardly, thinking Lin Yang was overly self-important and overestimated his abilities.

Heroic Wine could earn everyone's approval.

But only Lin Yang gave it a denial.

Thus, it shows Lin Yang's mouth is too sharp.

Cheers continued.

Beiyang Dao, with arrogance, downed a bowl of Heroic Wine in one gulp.

He wiped the corner of his mouth.

He puffed out his chest and lifted his head.

He exuded an aura of "none but me," and eagerly said: "Shopkeeper Hua, I see no one in the hall can drink more than I can."

"Why not simply announce that I am the first place in this Heroic Wine drinking contest!"

After all, he also harbored his own little scheme, thinking that as long as he secured first place...

By leveraging this renowned reputation, he might perhaps make Jiang Yuehuo change her mind, so he eagerly wanted the matter settled.

Hua Xiangxi smiled at the corners of her mouth, her tone indulgent: "Alright, then I shall solemnly announce that the first place in this drinking contest goes to Beiyang..."

She hadn't finished speaking.

Yu Xian'er hurried onto the podium, slightly out of breath, interrupting Hua Xiangxi's words: "Shopkeeper Hua, please wait!"

Then.

She told Hua Xiangxi the full story of the improved Heroic Wine in detail.

After hearing her, Hua Xiangxi's gaze fell on the wine bowl in Yu Xian'er's hand, a flicker of suspicion crossing her eyes.

She spoke with a hint of disdain, indifferent: "The improved Heroic Wine."

"Is this it?"
