However, for Terra Su, how outstanding Miles Ye was didn’t matter. What mattered was that the other party was the legitimate young master of the Ye Family from Clear River City.
In his past life, there were old scores yet to be settled between the Ye Family and Terra Su.
Terra Su’s eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp glint passing fleetingly, but it was just for a moment. The next second, he returned to his previous unfathomable calm.
After Miles Ye spoke, the attention of everyone present no longer lingered on Terra Su.
Just then, the dishes were served.
An array of exquisite dishes graced the table, each one a delicacy not found elsewhere, valuable and complete with color, aroma, and taste, tempting like works of art.
As soon as the dishes were served, the guests could hardly wait to start eating, and after tasting, they all praised the food.
Olivia Wang’s face was full of smiles. This banquet in the private room of Drunk Immortal Residence was something she had begged the Wang Family Patriarch for a long time before he agreed to grant her.
Keep in mind, they were all just sixteen or seventeen-year-old kids. Only a family like the Wangs, with financial power ranking at the top in Clear River City, could afford such extravagance for their younger generation.
With a flirtatious glance, Olivia Wang turned to Terra Su sitting aside and was surprised to find that from beginning to end, he had just sat there indifferently, without touching his chopsticks, nor tasting a bite of the food on the table.
“Hey, Emma, why isn’t your cousin eating?” Olivia Wang teased. She naturally didn’t think Terra Su looked down on the food, but felt that he probably hadn’t seen such fine dishes before and was too hesitant to start.
Emma Jiang felt embarrassed and couldn’t help but pinch Terra Su under the table, saying in frustration, “Eat, what are you afraid of?”
In fact, Terra Su wasn’t not eating; he just didn’t have an appetite. Once, as the Alchemy Emperor of the Alchemy Domain, his daily meals consisted of Eastern Sea Dragon Meat and Snow Mountain Fruit, rare delicacies of the world, prepared through eighty-one meticulous cooking processes before they could be served at his table. How could the food of a small-town tavern compare?
Now, hearing Emma Jiang urging him to eat, Terra Su leisurely picked up his chopsticks and tasted the dish closest to him.
“How is it, Su Brother? Does the cuisine of Drunk Immortal Residence suit your taste?” This time, it was a fair-skinned young man with narrow eyes who spoke, sneering after he finished, “Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Levi Wang, a member of the Wang Family.”
How could Terra Su not recognize Levi Wang?
Olivia Wang’s loyal admirer, although from the same clan, their blood relation was quite distant.
Speaking of which, this man’s talent was not bad, having reached the seventh level of the Inducing Qi Realm at a young age. Even if placed in the Orthodox One Sect, he would be considered a standout among the younger generation.
Although Olivia Wang was indifferent to him, her heart set on Miles Ye, Levi Wang was tirelessly devoted to her.
Speaking of which, Terra Su’s misfortunes in Clear River City in his previous life were largely due to Levi Wang. Because Terra Su was Emma Jiang’s cousin, Olivia Wang constantly compared him to Levi Wang, making the former seem utterly worthless. Levi Wang was also willing to show off in front of his crush, stepping on Terra Su whenever he could, wishing to crush him into the mud.
Therefore, in his past life, Terra Su’s most direct adversary was Levi Wang.
“It’s passable,” Terra Su said indifferently, deeming the meal before him as crude. The only reason he even said it was passable was to give Emma Jiang some face.
However, to Levi Wang’s ears, this was laughable: “It seems Su Brother has seen the world, huh? But what I don’t understand is how someone like you could be expelled from the sect for stealing elixirs?”
At these words, most of the people present chuckled.
Emma Jiang retorted angrily, “Don’t talk nonsense about things without evidence.”
She was beautiful, but when angered, she was like a fierce leopardess. Several people laughing nearby involuntarily shrank their necks at her glare.
Slap—
Levi Wang, not hiding his mockery, placed a wine jug in front of Terra Su and said, “Su Brother, you’re a guest, and you may not know, but we have a custom in Clear River City. Whenever someone is new in town, we locals invite them to drink. This jug of wine represents our goodwill, so drink up!”
Another young man chimed in, “Yeah, you have to drink it all up to show you appreciate our kindness!”
Terra Su’s gaze swept over the wine jug, noticing the words “Hundred Day Drunk” etched on the side, his eyes growing cold.
He knew about “Hundred Day Drunk,” a special brew from Clear River City. A small cup could knock out someone in the Inducing Qi Realm, and a whole jug would overwhelm even a Condensing Origin Realm powerhouse, leading to certain embarrassment.
Now at the eighth level of the Inducing Qi Realm, if he really drank the whole jug, it wouldn’t just be embarrassing—he could very well die on the spot.
“What’s the matter? Su Brother, are you not going to give me this face?” Levi Wang asked with a smirk.
Terra Su replied coolly, “Your face? It’s worth nothing. If it weren’t for my cousin’s sake, I wouldn’t have come at all.”
“Ha ha ha…” Levi Wang laughed uproariously as if he had heard the funniest joke, “You? Who do you think you are? Do you think we begged you to come?”
“This Su Brother,” Miles Ye, seated at the head of the table, spoke up with his usual grace, “you’ve traveled far to be here, and Levi Wang means well. It’s not nice to refuse.”
Really? Meant well?
If it were someone unaware of the potency of Hundred Day Drunk, such a statement might be excusable. But everyone present, including Miles Ye, had grown up in Clear River City. How could they not know that drinking a whole jug of Hundred Day Drunk could be lethal?
Emma Jiang couldn’t stand it any longer. She looked at Miles Ye with disappointment. So, Miles Ye wasn’t as perfect as she had imagined.
Emma Jiang stood up abruptly, “I’m not eating anymore. Let’s go home.”
“Don’t leave,” Levi Wang said with a sneer, “I didn’t mean to make it difficult for Su Brother. If a jug is too much, one cup should be fine. If you still make excuses, it would be disrespectful.”
His tone suggested that allowing Terra Su to drink just one cup was a great favor.
But Terra Su knew that even a single cup would leave a typical Inducing Qi Realm martial practitioner senseless, and the embarrassment was guaranteed.
Terra Su’s eyes turned frosty. Seeing Levi Wang approaching with the wine jug, he casually picked up a wooden chopstick from the table and threw it at Levi Wang’s wine jug.
Swoosh—
An unbelievable scene unfolded.
The chopstick in Terra Su’s hand shot through Levi Wang’s wine jug like an arrow!
Following that, the jug shattered with a “crack,” and the wine, like nectar, spilled all over the ground.
