329 His Usual Troublesome Self (1/2)

Saying that Xue Chang Fu and Yue Mu Gang emptied the four flasks together actually wasn't accurate. In fact, Yue Mu Gang slowly sipped one of them while Xue Chang Fu downed one after the other.

Su Yan couldn't help but look from one to the other, waiting for either of them to show signs of being drugged. Strangely enough, that didn't happen.

When Yue Mu Gang reached the bottom of the flask and put it back onto the tray, he was still sporting the same unapproachable expression and hardly said a whole sentence when someone spoke to him.

On the other side, Xue Chang Fu was still his usual troublesome self. He clung to Yue Mu Gang's arm and whispered things into his ear that couldn't be heard on the other side of the table but made the Elder eye the Sect Master warily from time to time. The only difference about him was that his cheeks were flushed but after emptying three flasks on his own that wasn't much of a surprise.

Su Yan frowned. How come they were still normal? Don't tell him that drug was fake? The Sect Master really should have paid more attention when he organized it!

Su Yan huffed and turned to Nie Chang, tugging at his sleeve and looking up pitifully. He really wanted to ask him what they should do about their special mission now but with the other two people still sitting next to them, he didn't dare to bring it up. After all, wouldn't that expose their plan? Hmph, this really was such a stupid situation.

Nie Chang rubbed his head and glanced at the window. They had left the sect in the morning but with their discussion before going to the inn and the time they had taken to stroll through the city, it had already turned afternoon.

He cleared his throat and turned to Yue Mu Gang. ”It's getting late and there hasn't been any trace of the demonic cultivators. Should we return to the sect for today?”

Yue Mu Gang wanted to answer but a hand was clasped over his mouth.

”No!”

The other three men turned to look at Xue Chang Fu. It seemed the Sect Master wasn't just his usual troublesome self. No, he seemed even more troublesome now that he had gotten tipsy.

Yue Mu Gang pulled the hand down and cleared his throat. ”I don't think it would be good for the Sect master to return like this.”

”Mn. That's true.” Nie Chang looked away and sighed. ”Then we should stay in the city today. Aren't there rooms in the inn? We should rent one.” He glanced at Xue Chang Fu and his lips twitched. ”Or two.”
