Chapter 129: Chapter 132: Drinking Freely

"Heh heh."

Xiao Yi smiled faintly and turned to Chen Jianguo, "Uncle Chen, let’s go inside."

"Right, right, let’s go."

Chen Jianguo came back to his senses and hurriedly accompanied Xiao Yi inside.

Walking into the main hall of Jingyue Pavilion, Xiao Yi immediately understood why the maidens at the door all wore a sense of pride in their faces. It was most fitting to describe the interior as resplendently golden; not only were all the utensils glittering with gold to the point of being blinding, but even the random decorations were antiques worth over one hundred thousand.

The Emperor Hall, meticulously pre-arranged by Chairman Chen Jianguo, was situated at an optimal location, with its three sides almost entirely composed of blue-tinted glass windows. Dining here, one could enjoy the night view of half of the Redwater River, as if hovering above G City’s skies.

Xiao Yi sat in his chair, gazing far at the extraordinary night view of the greater half of G City below, and looking at the silver tableware that shone in his hand, he once again marveled inside. This place truly deserved to be called a high-class venue; he feared that the meal would cost at least tens of thousands, and if by some misfortune, one were to break any of the decorative items—such as the vase on the nearby shelf—it would at least cost hundreds of thousands.

The banquet arranged personally by Chairman Chen Jianguo naturally meant the staff of the restaurant dared not be negligent. Shortly after the party sat down, dishes with excellent aroma, color, and flavor were served.

"Come, Xiao Yi, I toast to you. I was truly too rude just now."

Chen Jianguo personally poured a cup of premium Moutai, fragrant and strong, and passed it to Xiao Yi with a guilty expression.

"Uncle Chen, you must have said that at least a hundred times already. Do you plan to keep on repeating it? If you do, it’s going to become awkward."

Xiao Yi spoke somewhat helplessly. Since entering, Chen Jianguo had continuously been apologizing, rendering Xiao Yi nearly speechless.

"Right, right, right, I’ll stop, I’ll stop, heh heh, I’ll punish myself with this cup."

Chen Jianguo, slightly embarrassed by Xiao Yi’s words, took the cup in both hands and respectfully offered a toast to Xiao Yi before gulping it down himself.

Xiao Yi watched Chen Jianguo tilt his head back to drink, chuckled, and also picked up his cup, joining him in the drink. Although Chen Jianguo said it was a self-imposed punishment, Xiao Yi still felt uneasy doing nothing, so he drank as well.

"Here, Young Master Xiao, I also toast to you."

With the boss raising his glass, Liu Yuan could not sit idly by. He also raised his glass, and in his heart, he truly admired Xiao Yi. Yesterday, Chen Jianguo had told him stories, but those were abstract, whereas now, seeing Xiao Yi’s actions saving the young lady and helping Chen Jianguo handle Jin Dongming, the Old Fox, was indeed extraordinary.

"Cheers!"

Xiao Yi smiled and once again tipped back his head to drain the cup.

Chen Jianguo was clearly in high spirits today. Although the phone call he had just received was somewhat upsetting, he felt it was completely trivial compared to resolving the big trouble that was Jin Dongming. In the blink of an eye, he had already drunk five or six cups, his face turning somewhat flushed. Liu Yuan wanted to hint at him to slow down but ended up being scolded directly. Seeing that Chen Jianguo was rarely this happy and relaxed, Liu Yuan did not say anything more; during the toasting, he fulfilled his duty as a secretary and drank several cups on his boss’s behalf.

Quickly, two to three jin of white spirit entered the stomachs of the three men, with the majority going into Xiao Yi’s stomach. Although both men continuously said they were toasting Xiao Yi, expressing gratitude and admiration, he knew they truly appreciated him and did not mean to force him to drink. However, the fact was that it had turned into two men drinking and one man bearing the load. For Xiao Yi, such an amount of alcohol meant nothing. With a bit of cultivation, he could expel the alcohol from his system, but Chen Jianguo and Liu Yuan were ordinary people, and he did not want to show off too much in front of them. After smiling wryly to himself and drinking a few more cups, Xiao Yi finally could not hold back anymore, excused himself to the two men, and headed straight for the restroom.

The restroom in Jingyue Pavilion was also exquisitely decorated, filled with the scent of high-quality aloes, imparting the room with a light fragrance, not at all like the look of a restroom.

The decorations in this restroom could probably buy a house on the outside, Xiao Yi sighed silently, finding a secluded corner. While no one was paying attention, he quietly started his Cultivation of the Carefree True Scripture, condensing the alcohol in his body into a stream of water that shot out from his fingertips, until he felt a wave of clarity and refreshment wash over him. Only then did he turn on the faucet, washed his hands, and headed for the restroom door.

"Damn, Six, you’re way too fragile, just a bit of booze and you’re out."

"Crap... hold it in for a bit, we’re almost at the restroom, don’t puke on me..."

"..."

Just as Xiao Yi reached the restroom door, he heard a cacophony of voices heading toward the restroom, accompanied by three or four people charging in his direction. The one in front had a face that was red as a beet, mouth tightly shut, as if he could vomit at any moment.

Seeing these people, Xiao Yi’s brow furrowed, and in a flash, he stepped aside to clear the path. He had seen that the man was at his limit, and he certainly didn’t want to be splattered with vomit.

"Blah!"

Indeed, as soon as Xiao Yi stepped aside, the man couldn’t hold it in anymore and violently threw up ahead of him.

"Damn it, Six, you bastard, couldn’t you have held it in a bit longer? My Armani, man, I just bought it yesterday!"

One of the people standing aside, holding onto the man, hadn’t managed to completely dodge the disaster. Although not fully struck, a bit splattered onto his clothing, immediately staining it with filth, and he let out an irritated curse.

"Haha, Four, congrats, you get to buy new clothes again,"

Another person laughed heartily.

"Exactly, out with the old, in with the new!"

The rest of the group joined in the laughter, teasing the man with puke on his clothes, while only the drunk one, with a pained expression, continued to heave against the wall, as if he wanted to vomit out his intestines as well.

After listening for a few moments and ensuring his safety, Xiao Yi turned around, ready to head for the door again. He had recognized these people from their voices before even entering the door; they were the very young masters who had mocked him at the entrance, followers of Li Ziming. But regarding such idiotic heirs, he couldn’t be bothered to care.

"Stop right there!"

However, Xiao Yi had barely taken a step when he heard a shout from behind him.

"What’s up?"

Xiao Yi turned around, looking at everyone indifferently.
