C23 (2/2)

Shen Bai seemed to have already expected this and calmly replied, ”Brother Lu and I hate meeting each other late, so we chatted for a while. Don't tell me you even eat men's vinegar? ” In the end, he didn't forget to give her a dubious wink, which made Mu Yizi feel extremely uncomfortable.

”Who's jealous of you? I'm just curious about how much useful information you can gather from your first meeting with Lu Jingyin.” Mu Yizi circled around the table in a simple manner. She noticed that after Lu Jingyin sat down, the people who had gathered in groups of twos and threes all found their seats.

It seemed like this Lu Yuyin held a very high position in this group of famous disciples!

Before Shen Bai returned to his seat, Mu Yizi had already walked around the courtyard.

Of course, he had also suffered a round of supercilious looks.

However, almost all she heard were praises of Lu Jingyin, while the rest of them were looks of contempt towards her, this ignorant and coarse elder who had just entered the capital.

Excluding the fact that Lu Chaoyin's father was the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, this didn't necessarily explain why Lu Chaoyin was respected.

One had to know that the disciples of the famous sects were all extremely arrogant when they heard the comments they had made about Mu Yizi.

Adding on the fact that he had read a few old books, he felt that there was an unordinary arrogance in his bones.

To put it bluntly, it was as though his eyes were on the top of his head.

If it was just a simple matter of learning, Mu Yizi believed that the number of people who could rank among the best in the country was not few. But why was Lu Jingyin so respected? Just because he had nothing better to do, he would hold these 'simple' poetry meetings?

Mu Yizi's lips moved, wanting to ask what exactly had Shen Bai asked. Before he could finish his words, he swallowed them all back into his stomach because of Lu Jingyin's voice.

”Everyone, the reason for me hosting this poetry gathering today is to exchange poetical knowledge with everyone and to welcome our General Silvermoon. ”Come, everyone, have a toast with me to General Mu!”

After saying that, Lu Yuyin raised the wine cup in front of her and raised it towards Mu Youzi. Soon after, everyone put on a fake smile and raised their glasses, making Mu Yizi feel goosebumps all over her body.

She, who was suddenly called out, was still in a daze. If it wasn't for Shen Bai secretly pulling on her sleeve, she wouldn't have reacted in time.

Even though they had just treated her with contempt and disdain, at this moment, they were all smiling as they toasted her.

Tch, he really knows how to put on an act!

Mu Yizi despised him in her heart, but she still had to give him face. Even though she couldn't smile at all, she couldn't deny Lu Jingyin face. He had no choice but to raise his goblet and signal to them, then tilted his head back and downed the wine in one gulp.

”Good wine!” I never thought that Pavilion Master Lu would store such fine wine. ”

The moment the fragrance of the wine entered his throat, it rolled down, but left a dense fragrance between his lips. Mu Yizi could not help but drink a few more cups, and even Shen Bai, who was beside her, could not stand it anymore.

”Drink less, it's not good for your health.” Shen Bai blocked her hand, his eyes filled with worry.

However, Mu Yizi casually pulled his hand away, ”It's fine, it's been a long time since I've tasted such a good wine! ”Let me drink a few more cups today!”

Hearing her words, Shen Bai didn't say anything else. When he recalled the teasing incident from before, he felt slightly worried.

Previously, she was drunk enough to tease him, but now that there were so many handsome young masters here, if this little girl was drunk again, it was unknown who she was going to tease.

Shen Bai couldn't help massaging his throbbing forehead. Just what should he do with her?
