Chapter 674: The Master!

All the guests were stupefied by the sudden turn of events.

The man who got hit, bearing a blank expression, seemed completely petrified as well, allowing the droplets, still carrying the fragrance of alcohol, to slide down from his hair, across his face, and drip off...

He truly was petrified; he had never imagined that standing there, minding his own business, he would encounter such a disaster out of the blue...

As an expert, and moreover an incomparable master, many years had passed since he last suffered such treatment. In fact, on usual occasions, not to mention such a pour of alcohol, not even a fly or mosquito could get within fifty centimeters of him!

With his guardedness and sharp insight as an incomparable master, his perception of danger was exceptionally strong; under normal circumstances, it was impossible for anything to hit him...

It was just today, or strictly speaking, just a moment ago, less than a while ago in fact, while he was disdainfully watching Xiao Yi, this detestable fellow, the enemy of his young master, getting ridiculously drunk and making a mess. Only then did he relax completely, his eyes revealing a trace of disdain and scorn...

Yet he hadn’t anticipated that in such a brief moment, such a once-in-a-century incident would occur...

Only when the wine glass shattered on the floor with an incredibly crisp sound did he snap back to his senses, his eyes filled with immense disgust and hatred as he turned his head and looked toward Zhao Gao.

In his normally dull and wooden eyes, a rare glint of harshness appeared, as if a rusty iron sword, previously covered in rust, had suddenly been stripped of all its rust, transforming into a sword emitting a chilling gleam!

The moment the man’s gaze fell upon him, Zhao Gao felt as though he had plunged into an ice cellar.

He was not unfamiliar with the man with the blank expression; since meeting Li Zhengyi, almost every time he saw Li Zhengyi, he would catch a glimpse of this man. But his biggest impression was that he was an odd person, seemingly perpetually poker-faced, with ever rigid and lifeless expressions.

However, he never imagined the man before him could be so terrifying; the moment his eyes met his, it felt as if a dreadfully venomous snake had instantly locked onto him, leaving him no chance to escape!

"I..."

Zhao Gao wanted to explain, to say it wasn’t him, but as he tried to speak, he couldn’t get a single word out. His eyes, fixed on the inebriated Xiao Yi, who seemed completely oblivious to what had happened, were filled with such hatred that he wished to tear him apart!

It was all due to this instigator... Had it not been for this instigator, how could he have thrown the wine glass onto his face?

Regrettably, Xiao Yi, the instigator, appeared utterly unaware of any anomaly, having drunk so much that he looked fairly intoxicated, seemingly dull to any sensation. He didn’t seem to notice anything was amiss and slurred, "Director Zhao, pour the wine, it’s fine, to pour is to flourish, your luck is coming. Here, I’ll have a waiter refill your glass, waiter... Hurry... quick, refill Director Zhao’s glass..."

Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, the man with the blank expression finally turned his gaze away from Zhao Gao and directed it toward Xiao Yi, his eyes intently scrutinizing him, as if trying to discern something from him...

Once the man’s gaze was averted, Zhao Gao heaved a long sigh of relief. It was only then that he realized his back was completely drenched with sweat. Looking at Xiao Yi’s drunken state and listening to his nonsense, he wished he could pick up a broken shard from the shattered wine glass on the ground and stab it viciously into Xiao Yi while slapping him and cursing, "Your luck, your mother! Prosperity, your mother! Having met you, this star of misfortune, this broom star, what luck could I possibly have!"

"This... sir... you seem a bit unfamiliar... we haven’t drunk together... let’s have a drink!"

Xiao Yi seemed completely unaware of the man’s piercing scrutiny and, in his drunkenness, cheerfully raised his glass and said, "Director Zhao, pour the wine, it’s fine, to pour is to flourish, your luck is coming. Here, I’ll have a waiter refill your glass, waiter... Hurry... quick, refill Director Zhao’s glass..."

As soon as he raised his glass, he suddenly belched, releasing a strong whiff of alcohol that immediately wafted towards the man’s face.

Smelling the potent scent of alcohol, the man frantically averted his face while covering his mouth and nose, his eyes flashing a momentary intense disgust, and simultaneously, a glint of murderous intent flitted through the corner of his eyes.

"Oh no, I... can’t do this... sorry... sir, I really... really apologize. I... I need to go take a... take a leak first... I’ll come back then we can drink..."

After belching, Xiao Yi suddenly seemed to feel something, clutching his stomach with a look of urgency, while apologetically speaking to the man with the blank expression. Then, without waiting for the man to respond, he hurriedly dashed out.

Take a leak...

It seems... he has finally fallen!

This kid has already started to show his true colors, no, more like his true nature, revealing the nature of a country bumpkin, even capable of saying such vulgar words! However, this is nothing yet, what comes next, the real highlight, is yet to come... That’s when the real ugliness will show!

Looking at this kid’s condition, he must be going to vomit, right?

Vomit, let’s see if you can vomit out all the alcohol you drank!

Li Zhengyi, who had just noticed what was happening here, looked at Xiao Yi clutching his stomach and departing in an embarrassing manner, with a corner of his eye revealing a hint of satisfaction and a smug smile. At the same time, he turned to the expressionless man and said, "Uncle Hua, please clean up here a bit, there won’t be any trouble, rest assured."

Hearing Li Zhengyi’s words, the expressionless man finally withdrew his gaze from Xiao Yi’s retreating figure, reached out to touch the still-wet alcohol stain on his face, and showed a hint of disgust in his eyes. He nodded, turned, and walked toward the room next to him.

The room on the second floor of the villa belonged to Li Zhengyi. Although he seldom used this villa, the room was still very luxuriously and comfortably furnished. Normally, no one was allowed to enter here; however, at this moment, he had temporarily used a corner of the second floor for the guests attending the event, mainly for the female guests, to rest and touch up their makeup.

The expressionless man walked upstairs and entered a room on the left. He then walked directly into the adjacent restroom, familiarly. Looking at the reflection of the stains on his clothes in the mirror, and smelling the unpleasant aroma of alcohol, his eyes showed deep disgust again, along with a trace of cold murderous intent.

He’s a person who loves cleanliness, or rather, a person with a strong sense of cleanliness. His clothes are almost always very clean.

He had never allowed such filth to be splashed on his face from childhood, especially considering that this alcohol had been drunk by that Fatty Zhao, potentially containing the other’s saliva. He could no longer bear it, feeling his stomach churn violently, and he began to retch. At the same time, he violently twisted the tap and splashed water fervently onto his face.

Suddenly, while he was frantically splashing water onto his face, his expression turned wary. He quickly spun around, looking behind him.

At the same time, he uttered a light shout, "Who’s there!"

However, when he turned around, his eagle-like gaze swept across the room behind him, he found nothing out of the ordinary. There were no traces of anyone, nor any signs of abnormality.

With a puzzled look on his face, the man gathered all his cultivation power to the limit, perked up his ears, closed his eyes, and focused on sensing the surroundings.

Just a moment ago, he had a premonition that a figure had sneaked in here, or to be precise, he sensed a pair of prying eyes!

He was confident that if someone were spying on him, they couldn’t escape his surveillance!

But the surroundings were filled only with the sound of flowing water and the hustle and bustle of the attendants. Even the whispers from the party sometimes reached his ears, yet he detected nothing unusual.

Strange, there’s nothing unusual? Could it be that I just had a hallucination?

After listening intently for nearly three minutes, the man finally relaxed again, his face showing a hint of confusion. Ever since he entered the Condensation period, he had never experienced a hallucination.

Could it be because of that disgusting drink just now?

Yes, it must be because of that. That damned Fatty Zhao and that filthy kid, the country bumpkin, it was all because of those two...

More convinced, the man suddenly felt nauseated again at the thought of that drink, turned around, and opened the tap once more, reaching out for the cold water.

However, just as his hand touched the cold water, his facial expression suddenly froze, his gaze began to glaze over, and his body started to fall straight backward. In the moment he fell, his eyes widened completely, filled with horror and reluctance...

But darkness had already enveloped his vision...

In the moment he fell, the only thought that flashed through his mind was two words: master hand!
