Chapter 189 (1/2)

Inside Third Master Yu’s heart, it would be an unforgivable crime if he were to even waste a single drop of such an exceptional wine! When sampling the wine, he couldn't help but cast his eyes in disdain towards the two drunkards there. Those two commoners, did they even know how to appreciate wine? Such good stuff was given to them, but it was akin to giving malt to a commoner, a waste of good grain! Just look at me, the Third Master! See, this is how the elegant should behave when sampling wine!

”Third Master, how is the wine?” Ling Tian walked over carrying his winecup. Off to one side, the ladies were discussing something in hushed tones, and when Ling Tian walked over he was banished by a flurry of small fists and slim legs. Left without a choice, he could only chat with the ‘uncultured person’.

”Oh, good wine! Hahaha, the best I’ve ever had!” Third Master Yu roared with laughter, but suddenly ended with a sigh! ”Aiii! What a good wine. Damm*t, I can't believe that I only can drink it in this place! Kid, you’ve triggered the alcoholic bug in this daddy, if I can’t get it in the future, what am I to do?” As he spoke, he quickly glanced towards Ling Tian s.h.i.+ftily, his meaning clear. Kid, why don’t you be a good boy and give me a few more jars to bring back!

Ling Tian acted as though he didn't understand him, nonchalantly replying, ”Oh, hehe, then Third Master can come to visit more often! I still have some left, enough to satisfy Third Master for the next ten days to half a month.

Yu ManTian was completely depressed. This kid was quite the looker and even looked erudite, so why couldn’t he understand the facts? There are so many people in this world that would love to gift wine to this here Third Master, but even after I gave you so many praises and hints, you still couldn’t get it? Are you acting dumb?

Scratching his head, Yu ManTian spoke unwillingly, ”Oh… my old pal… this wine, do you have a lot? You can’t finish it all yourself, can you?” The meaning was clear, This daddy will elevate your status to that of my pal, that is a great honor! You should know how to be satisfied, and since you can't finish drinking it, you might as well give a little to me!

Ling Tian held back his smile, distractedly nodding his head, then shaking it later. ”While I do have some and I definitely can't finish it all myself, I can always give it to people as I deem fit. I’ve already given away quite a few jars!”

If he hadn't said this sentence it would still be alright. However, once it was spoken, Third Master Yu nearly died of anger on the spot. You’ve actually given a lot away? Why don’t you give your life away too, since you can’t even take my obvious hint to gift one to me? Don’t tell me, as the highly regarded Yu Family’s Third Master, I’m below those whom you have given wine to? Or do you not like me?!

Third Master Yu lowered his head, discovering for the first time in his life that there was actually someone who didn't hold the Yu Family in high regard at all! And it just had to be a weak scholar! This almost made him brush his sleeves and leave in anger. If not for the heavenly wine, which he had fallen in love with the moment the first cup entered his stomach, how could he still stay?

Yu ManTian took a few deep breaths, before deciding that he should just continue drinking his wine and ignore the kid! Depressed beyond words, he could only rely on drowning his sorrows in wine and so drained two jars in one sitting. Since he couldn't take advantage of him, might as well just live in the moment!

Ling Tian resisted the urge to smile upon seeing Yu ManTian’s defeated look. He leisurely poured himself a cup of wine as well and smiled as he downed it in one sitting...

Drowning one's sorrows with wine would just create more sorrows. Third Master Yu fully embodied that statement. Very quickly, he ended up just like the Xue Brothers on whom he had cast looks of disdain, 'collapsing the golden mountains and toppling the jade pillar'.[1]

However, he was indeed a prince of wines. Just before he toppled down drunk, he carefully took the jar and put it in a safe place before sliding off the table in satisfaction.

After just a few moments, an earth-shattering sound of snoring sounded out. Even the tables and chairs were trembling due to the intensity! Ling Tian hurriedly covered his ears and quickly left.

While Third Master Yu was deep in his dreams, Ling Tian received the latest news: The rest of the major powers had coincidentally entered Sky Bearing City that very afternoon!

A gathering of dragons and tigers! There was opportunity in this unstable situation!

The overindulgent Third Master Yu, who ended up so drunk he resembled a dead pig, was carried to the guest room. Under Ling Tian’s intentional arrangement he slept in the same room as the drunk Xue brothers. The three of them surfaced back to reality when being carried, fine examples of a martial arts expert’s awareness; but when they found out nothing was amiss, they squeaked out a few words and collapsed back into blissful slumber.
