"I see."

After Li Jing understood the ins and outs of the matter, he immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Yi. Li Zhe also followed suit.

"Master Li doesn't have to be like..."

"Young Master Lin has been kind to my Li family, and I, Li Jing, am extremely grateful. If there is any need for my Li family, I, Li Jing, will never blink an eyebrow."

"Thank you, Master Li."

"It's okay, but Mr. Lin, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Does Mr. Lin know the origin of this monster? And there have been more and more cases like this recently! As the Minister of the Ministry of War, I also have certain responsibilities."

"This is a monster that can hide its aura. From what I have seen so far, it seems that they feed on human blood, but they will not choose such a noisy and important place as their target."

Lin Yi took a sip of the tea handed by Li Zhe and continued.

"Usually, such monsters will choose relatively remote places to attack secretly, but the frequency of this case is likely to be a group of monsters. They must have a conspiracy to dare to take risks to do this."

"Well...it seems that we have to inform His Majesty to prepare for a new round of vigilance."

Li Jing frowned thoughtfully.

But Li Zhe focused his attention on Lin Yi, because the handsome and commanding appearance of Lin Yi's battle with the monster today was deeply engraved in his heart.

But Li Zhe still remained calm. If he showed a longing and excited look, Mr. Lin would probably think that he was impetuous and careless, and he would be easily disliked by others.

"By the way, Li Shangshu, please read this."

Lin Yi took out a wooden tube from his waist, pulled out the plug of the wooden tube, and the sect mission scroll inside fell out.

"This is..."

Li Jing took a look at it curiously, and suddenly realized when he saw a big red seal in the lower right corner of the document.

"It turns out that Mr. Lin, you are the Immortal of the Xuantian Sect who was invited by our emperor to help us! It's my fault that I'm blind, I'm really sorry. Zhe'er, why don't you go and ask the chef to cook some dishes? We have to entertain Mr. Lin well when he comes!"

"Yes, father!"

Li Zhe replied excitedly, secretly secretly opening the door and walking out quickly.

"Master Li, it really doesn't have to be like this! This is a task sent by our sect, and we should do this."

"That's the truth, but Mr. Lin, you are an honored guest. This banquet is equivalent to receiving Mr. Lin. I hope that Mr. Lin, you will never refuse."

"That's...okay."

Unable to resist the stubborn Li Jing, Lin Yi finally had no choice but to agree.

"By the way, Master Li, can I ask for something from you?"

......

"Master Lin, please have a meal."

"Master Li, please."

Under the guidance of his servants, Lin Yi came to a living room filled with sumptuous meals and jars of fine wine.

After Lin Yi sat down, Li Jing took the lead in opening the lid of the wine. He first poured a full bowl of wine for Lin Yi and then slowly poured it for himself.

As for the greedy Li Zhe, he could only watch.

"Hahaha, so refreshing! This jug of fine wine was a gift from the Emperor of Chu back then. Mr. Lin, you must try it. I am usually reluctant to drink it."

Li Jing said arrogantly after drinking a bowl of wine.

"Many...many thanks, Master Li, but I really don't know how to drink."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, this wine is not very strong. It is like cold water to me."

"That...okay then."

Lin Yi shook the wine in the bowl, raised his head and drank it with determination.

Within a few breaths, Lin Yi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Lin...Mr. Lin, are you okay?"

Li Zhe, who was pouring wine on the side, was stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped trying to add another bowl to Lin Yi's bowl.

"No...I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy."

Lin Yi stroked his forehead, forced himself to calm down, and said solemnly to Li Jing who was opposite him: "Master Li, you'd better tell only Emperor Chu about our clan coming to help. After all, we can't do it now." To scare the snake away, I want to follow the clues and get rid of their nest."

"I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I will never interfere with your plans. If you need anything, please tell me."

"Um..."

Lin Yi touched his pocket and felt that the thing was still there, then he stood up in a daze.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

"Master Lin, I will send you..."

Li Zhe just wanted to stand up and help Lin Yi but was stopped by Lin Yi.

"No, it's getting late and it's not safe outside. I can just leave by myself."

After saying that, Lin Yi opened the door and left.

The father and son of the Li family were left looking at each other.

......

"How...how could this happen?"

Lin Yi went out and his head became more and more groggy. As expected, he couldn't drink even a drop of wine. Even if he drank a bowl of human wine, he would get drunk.

Suddenly, a slender arm hugged Lin Yi from behind: "Ayi, what's wrong with you? You seem to be uncomfortable."

This voice is that of his apprentice Chu Ruohan!

"Ruo...Ruohan!"

Lin Yi turned around excitedly and felt relieved when he saw it was Chu Ruohan.

"Just now...I accidentally drank some wine, and now my head is a little dizzy. I can only trouble Ruohan to send me back."

"Wha...what! Drink!"

Chu Ruohan heard this delicate body tremble, and immediately panicked after confirming that Lin Yi was not lying.

What...what to do! Ah Yi drank again and still remembered how miserable he looked last time...

"That's right Ruohan."

Lin Yi suddenly thought of something, took out a black gauze scarf from his pocket, and put it in Chu Ruohan's hand.

"what is this?"

"This is a gauze to put around your mouth, so that not so many people will look at you..."

After hearing this, Chu Ruohan raised her mouth slightly, leaned into Lin Yi's ear and asked, "Is Ayi jealous?"

"Ahem, I just don't want so many people to see your true face."

"I got it."

Chu Ruohan felt sweet in her heart and supported Lin Yi as she walked slowly towards the restaurant.

That's all. Seeing that you performed so well today, A-yi, it doesn't matter if I condescend to you. Anyway, I usually have the upper hand. It's not a bad idea to change things up occasionally, right?
