Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 67
[Chapter 67: Drunk Plan]
Zhaiyue Tower.
Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang were drinking tea. Shopkeeper Qian said that this was the best new tea this year, and gave Lin Xiu a few boxes for free.
After discovering that Li Baizhang’s alcohol tolerance was much better than his own, Lin Xiu gave up the idea of getting him drunk to gain his ability, so he simply stopped drinking alcohol, and drinking tea was fine.
He had been dealing with tea a lot in the past two days.
Xue Ning’er’s tea ceremony skills had reached perfection. If it weren’t for Lin Xiu’s higher level, those rookies who didn’t have much life experience would probably have regarded her as a caring sister.
Li Baizhang took a sip of tea and sighed, “Recently, the relationship between Brother Lin and Miss Ning’er has progressed rapidly. Although I did not go to the Xue Mansion that night, I also saw the amazing fireworks. Later I learned that it was a gift Brother Lin prepared for Miss Ning’er. I have to say, Brother Lin, you are really smart!”
Lin Xiu smiled and asked, “Why do you say that, Brother Li?”
Li Baizhang said, “The Moon Pearl is precious, and high-level Yuan Crystals are rare, but which girl can refuse a beautiful fireworks display? Brother Lin’s research on women’s minds has probably reached its peak. In your eyes, those suitors of Miss Ning’er are probably no different from three-year-old children, right?”
Lin Xiu smiled without saying a word. If there was anyone who could compete with him in this regard, it would undoubtedly be someone with the surname Li.
Li Baizhang sighed again: “Miss Ning’er treats you as her prey, but she is your prey. She thinks she is very capable, but there is still a world of difference between her and you.”
Suddenly, Li Baizhang changed his tone and asked: “However, Brother Lin, you don’t really want to have something happen with Miss Ning’er, do you? As a friend, I want to remind you that she is the jewel in the crown of Duke Xue’s mansion. If things get out of hand, you, Brother Lin, will be in danger.”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
He didn’t want to play with Xue Ning’er’s feelings and body. He went for her ability from the beginning.
After getting her ability, Lin Xiu will completely cut off contact with her.
This sounds a bit scumbag, and it is actually scumbag, but who let Xue Ning’er want to scum him first? He is just treating her in her own way. In
the contest between Aquaman and Green Tea, who will win or lose depends on who has a higher level. If you
are not as good as others, you will accept the loss .
Not thinking about Xue Ning’er for the time being, Lin Xiu put his attention back on Li Baizhang.
His Yuanli has awakened for the second time, and his cultivation is at the upper level of the Yellow Rank. Although he is still a weakling, his ability limit has been improved. He should get Li Baizhang’s Thunder Power as soon as possible. This ability can rank higher than the Ice Power on the list of supernatural powers.
After all, ice is visible, and thunder is invisible. In terms of instantaneous single-body explosive power, thunder is still stronger.
Seeing that the teacup was empty, Lin Xiu said, “Tea has no taste. I can’t drink much. Brother Li, you don’t have to accommodate me. Waiter, come, change some wine for Brother Li!”
Without giving Li Baizhang a chance to refuse, Lin Xiu quickly asked the waiter to bring a pot of wine and fill the glass. Li Baizhang could only pick up the glass and said casually, “A big event happened in the royal capital a few days ago. I wonder if Brother Lin knew about it?”
Lin Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, “What happened?”
Li Baizhang said, “Yang Xuan, the son of Yongping Marquis, did some big mistake that he was exiled from the capital. The son of a first-class marquis has never ended up like this before. Does Brother Lin know about this?”
Lin Xiu shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I only met Yang Xuan once at Miss Ning’er’s birthday party. I’m not familiar with him…”
This case was strictly kept confidential by the Secret Investigation Department, and few people knew the inside story.
In order to delay time, Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang chatted about family matters. He smiled and said, “Brother Li knows everything about me, but I only know your name. I don’t know where you live. If you get drunk one day, I can take you back.”
Li Baizhang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I can’t get drunk.” Lin
Xiu was puzzled. Could it be that the power of Thunder also has the effect of sobering up? There is no record of this in the book. Then, he asked, “Brother Li is about the same age as me. I wonder if Brother Li is willing to marry me?”
Li Baizhang glanced at Lin Xiu and said meaningfully: “Brother Lin, do you think people like you and me will give up the entire forest for a tree?”
As expected of the person who understands Lin Xiu the most, Li Baizhang’s words hit the nail on the head.
Li Baizhang picked up the wine glass, gestured to him, and said: “Actually, I feel a little sympathetic to Brother Lin. Someone like you is bound by a marriage contract, and the other party is the untouchable genius. I think Brother Lin dreams of getting rid of this bondage, right?”
Lin Xiu looked at Li Baizhang, shook his head slightly, and said: “I didn’t expect that the person who understands me the most is you…”
Lin Xiu was telling the truth. The parents in this world were very good to him, and Lingyin was impeccable in his kindness to him, but they didn’t understand Lin Xiu, nor did they know what he wanted.
Li Baizhang just smiled and said, “There’s nothing strange about this, because you and I are the same people, you are me, I am you…”
When he said this, he seemed to remember some things, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, refilled it, and said to Lin Xiu, “This cup is for people like us!”
Lin Xiu put down the teacup, took another cup, filled it with wine, and said, “Cheers to people like us…”
It’s easy to get a thousand gold, but it’s hard to find a confidant.
You can drink wine next time, but you may not be in the same mood next time. However, Lin Xiu didn’t get drunk this time. Even though it was daytime and it was not far from the Lin Mansion, he still didn’t forget that there were people who wanted his life in places he couldn’t see.
This time he was sober throughout the whole process, so he had a clearer understanding of Li Baizhang’s alcohol tolerance.
If the two of them drank 100% of the wine today, then Li Baizhang drank 90% alone. Even so, when Lin Xiu felt a little dizzy, he still looked fine, so Lin Xiu couldn’t find a chance.
Back in the mansion again, Lin Xiu fell into thinking.
This is not a good thing. If this ability is in a woman, Lin Xiu is still sure to get it. Li Baizhang is not a fool like Wang Wei. He is very smart and has a very high emotional intelligence. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to get his ability.
After a moment, Lin Xiu gritted his teeth and said, “You can drink a lot, right? I’ll let you drink enough next time!”
He found Dali and said, “Go find some bamboos, not too thick or too thin, clean the branches and leaves, then open the bamboo joints, wash them and put them in the yard. Also, when you come back, go to the wine shop and buy ten jars of wine. The strongest kind…”
Although Sun Dali didn’t know what the young master wanted to do, he didn’t ask any more questions and went out to prepare immediately.
When Sun Dali prepared everything Lin Xiu wanted, Lin Xiu came to the kitchen again and said to the busy cook there, “Aunt Wang, lend me the kitchen for a while…”
…
After a busy night, Lin Xiu walked out of the kitchen.
He was holding a small wine jar in his hand, which was the result of his staying up late.
Lin Xiu thought about it. The reason why Li Baizhang could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk was not because he had a good alcohol tolerance, but because the wine in Zhaiyue Tower was too inferior. Due to the problem of craftsmanship, the wine here was mostly several or ten degrees. The so-called strongest wine was only about twenty degrees. What kind of strong wine was this? Beer was more like it…
Back then, Lin Xiu drank beer by the box.
It was a pity that this body could not tolerate alcohol, and could not drink much beer.
In order to get Li Baizhang drunk, Lin Xiu thought of a way. He distilled the wine with a concentration of about 20 degrees outside for more than ten times. In the end, only this small jar was left out of ten jars of wine. Lin Xiu didn’t know how much alcohol this jar of wine had, but the aroma of the wine was extremely strong. He just took a sip and felt a little dizzy…
If he still can’t get Li Baizhang drunk this time, he will add something to the wine next time.
