As they continued forward, just as Long Chen had predicted, everyone's cultivation was gradually stripped away. Feng Xiang and the others suddenly became uneasy, their eyes filled with fear.
Although Yu Qingxuan was a bit flustered, it wasn't as obvious as the others. Long Chen smiled and asked,
"Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid, just a bit unfamiliar. I believe the Wine God Palace won't harm us, and being with you, I feel especially safe—you'll protect me." Yu Qingxuan said with a smile.
"No way, I was counting on you to protect me! To be honest with you, aside from bragging and scaring people, I have no other skills. Long Chen said with a smile.
"I don't believe it."
Yu Qingxuan looked at Long Chen, her smile never fading. She especially enjoyed listening to Long Chen talk—he was very interesting.
Moreover, Long Chen and the people she met were different. While others were desperately trying to show off, Long Chen was desperately trying to hide himself, arousing intense curiosity about him. No one knew exactly how much Long Chen was hiding.
Moreover, Long Chen's smile was always so sincere, as warm as sunshine, giving a sense of indescribable closeness, as if with him around, there was nothing to fear.
Seeing Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan chatting and laughing, Zhao Mingxuan, Wu Yang, and the others had eyes full of jealousy, while Feng Xiang, who had been reminded by Xu Zhuzi, was no longer so angry.
Clearly, Xu Zhuzi had already chosen a clear path for him. If he wanted to keep his position, he had to submit to Long Chen.
He knew his father's character very well—he was always right. If he really couldn't get the wine back, his father would give up on him, and no one could plead for help.
Although he was the most talented among all his father's sons, he deeply knew that his father was unfathomable, and no one could figure out his personality.
Usually, his father hardly interfered with them, but this time, he revealed that Long Chen had tasted the pear blossom brew to the Wine God Palace, which seemed to greatly displease his father. In other words, if this matter wasn't handled properly and he couldn't give his father a satisfactory answer, he would be abandoned by the family.
At first, he was filled with resentment toward Long Chen, but now, having calmed down, if it weren't for jealousy, thinking carefully, Long Chen truly had some extraordinary qualities. The version of himself he was showing now was probably just a disguise.
Now that he was sobering up from his anger, he gradually sensed something was wrong. His father would never let him do this for no reason; there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
"Brother Long, aren't you afraid at all?" Feng Xiang spoke. As soon as he did, Zhao Mingxuan, Wu Yang, and the others were stunned. Why did Feng Xiang's tone suddenly change?
Long Chen was also slightly taken aback, but seeing that Feng Xiang seemed to have no ill intent, he said calmly, "
I've always been an ordinary person, without any halo. Even if I strip away the halo, I'm still myself."
And you are all peerless prodigies, enjoying the feeling of dominating the world and dominating the heavens. If you lose this support, you will naturally feel anxious.
As for me, I just like a simple and peaceful life. I don't need others to respect me, don't need to look up to me, and certainly don't need to step on others to live. So, I don't really feel anything. "
Only those who look up to heaven, have a residence worthy of earth, are not ashamed of others outwardly, and have a clear conscience within, possess such magnanimity and magnanimity.
Young brother Long Chen, at such a young age, you have reached such a high level—it's truly admirable. "Hearing Long Chen's words, Xu Zhuzi couldn't help but praise him.
"Senior, you flatter me. I just like to be simple, that's all." Long Chen said with a smile.
As we spoke, we passed through a lush forest, with a gravel path ahead, winding and secluded, fragrant flowers and grass, giving a very peaceful and peaceful feeling.
After walking for a while, a portal appeared ahead, with the three large characters 'Wine God Palace' written on it. However, these three characters were crooked and awkward, just like those of a child who couldn't write.
"Young man, what do you think of this calligraphy?" At the door, Xuzhuzi stopped and pointed at the characters.
Long Chen smiled slightly and said to Yu Qingxuan, "Qingxuan, come take a look. What mysteries might you be revealing in this calligraphy?" Long
Chen actually transferred the question to Yu Qingxuan. Yu Qingxuan stared at the calligraphy for a long time, unable to make sense of it, and couldn't help but turn to Feng Xiang and the others, saying,
"I can't tell. You are all outstanding talents standing above your side. You should be able to spot some clues!"
Long Chen couldn't help but laugh. Yu Qingxuan was quick to learn, throwing the problem at someone else.
Feng Xiang and the others immediately felt a bit awkward. Those three words were crooked and confusing, showing no sign of anything special. If they really were to say something special, then it would be extremely ugly.
But who would dare say something like that? Wouldn't that mean they wouldn't even be able to get through the main gate and would be kicked out?
"Ahem, Fairy Qingxuan is clever and clever, even you can't see through it. Our lack of talent certainly won't notice." Feng Xiang coughed dryly and said.
It must be said, Feng Xiang was quick-witted, supporting Yu Qingxuan without embarrassing himself.
Yu Qingxuan smiled and looked at Long Chen, who smiled back: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be written by the Wine God himself, and it was painted after getting drunk."
The handwriting was terrible, probably because she was already drunk and couldn't hold her pen steadily..."
After Long Chen said this, the smile on Yu Qingxuan's face gradually faded. Long Chen's comment was a bit too bold.
Long Chen continued, "Your handwriting is clumsy, yet you blend endless wine into it. Senior, are you testing my drinking capacity?" I dare not attempt it. "
Impressive, you can tell this is indeed written by the Wine God himself after getting drunk.
At that time, the Wine God once said: If the mind is used twice, one will focus on one and lose the other; when the Wine God focuses on the drinking, his writing becomes ugly.
It is said that after writing these three characters, the Wine God fell asleep. When he woke up, he looked at them for a long time before recognizing what he had written. "Xu Zhuzi wasn't angry at Long Chen's comment; instead, he smiled and said.
She couldn't even recognize the characters she had written, and Yu Qingxuan laughed. But honestly, if those three characters weren't hanging here, there really weren't many people who could recognize them.
"Thud, thud, thud!"
Suddenly, someone cried out. Among those who had come with Feng Xiang and the others, two suddenly collapsed to the ground. Their faces flushed red and they started snoring, as if they were completely drunk.
"It's fine. They used their soul power to examine these three characters. They're infected by the alcohol. Don't touch them. Let them sleep for two days and they'll be fine." Xuzhuzi laughed.
Everyone was shocked. Fortunately, they hadn't used their soul power to offend the Wine God Palace, or else they'd have ended up drunk like these two.
Just using soul power to probe and get drunk for two days—isn't that terrifying?
Everyone entered the main gate, and Long Chen immediately saw the statue of the God of Wine. He was stunned.
