Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Change wine glasses? You don't even trust me, Junior Sister LAN 'er?" Hearing this, Xu lingchong raised his eyebrows and pouted helplessly. "That's good. I'll change the wine cup then. Anyway, I'm an open-minded senior brother, and I have nothing to hide."

With that, Xu lingchong did as he was told without hesitation, giving off the feeling that there really wasn't anything fishy going on, and that he was just toasting Lin Yi as an apology.

Lin Yi originally didn't want to drink this cup of wine-after all, the world of cultivation was full of wonders, unlike the common world where only a few medicines were known to the world. If Xu lingchong really put something in the wine, even with Lin Yi's strength, it would be hard for him to detect it. If he fell for Xu lingchong's trick, who knew what the unexpected consequences would be?

However, since Shangguan LAN 'er had already said so, he could not just ignore it. He could only take Xu lingchong's wine glass.

"Young hero Lin, I'll drink first as a form of respect, please!" After Xu lingchong finished speaking, he drank the entire cup in one gulp.

Lin Yi sniffed at the wine-there wasn't anything out of the ordinary, other than the wine's aroma.

Xu lingchong looked at this scene and sneered in his heart. How could the means used by this young master be so easy to be exposed? to think that you can tell something is wrong just by smelling it? this is simply whimsical. You're so naive that it's cute.

Lin Yi wasn't too sure, but since this was exchanged from Xu lingchong's own hands, even if the other party added something to the wine, it wouldn't be something that could kill someone in a short time.

Otherwise, even if Xu lingchong had the antidote in his hands, it was hard to guarantee that nothing would go wrong after being delayed by Lin Yi in front of him. Moreover, this was a crucial gathering of important people, after all. If he really used the poisoned wine to kill someone, Xu lingchong would have to bear the consequences. After all, Shangguan LAN 'er could be a witness in front of him that the wine Lin Yi drank came from her.

One thing Lin Yi could be sure of was that even if there were some ingredients in the wine, they'd at most be unorthodox supplementary ingredients. It'd have some effect in the short term, but it wouldn't be too strong, and there wouldn't be any obvious side effects.

Xu lingchong wasn't an idiot-Lin Yi could even deduce that if this guy really wanted to plant something, the effect wouldn't be easily noticed from the start to the end. Even if the effect took effect, people would probably think that he was drunk.

"What's wrong? you don't dare to drink it? isn't this a little too embarrassing?" Lingchong said, seeing that Lin Yi wasn't moving.

"Since you're begging me to drink it, I'll drink it." At this moment, everyone's gazes were on him, and Lin Yi couldn't continue hesitating. He smiled and finished his glass.

"Very good, you can pick up and let go, this is the tolerance of a man!" Xu lingchong smiled smugly and turned around to pour another cup for Shangguan LAN 'er,""Junior Sister LAN 'er, today is your birthday. I should offer you a toast. You won't refuse, right?" he asked.

Shangguan LAN 'er was too lazy to talk to this annoying fellow, but seeing Shangguan Tianhua and Xu Yuanzheng looking at her from a distance, she felt it was inappropriate to just leave like that. She could only patiently take the glass and pouted,""Let me make it clear first. I'm not giving you face, I'm giving your grandfather face. You have no face in my eyes!"

This B * tch! Xu lingchong gritted his teeth in anger. Before Lin Yi appeared, Shangguan LAN 'er did have a miss' temper, but in his eyes, her flaws didn't cover up her beauty. Now that he saw her colluding with Lin Yi, the more he looked at her, the more he felt that this woman was a slut who could be married to anyone, a dog couple!

"Yes, yes. Junior Sister LAN 'er is a proud daughter of heaven. Not just anyone can give her face." Xu lingchong nodded with an apologetic smile, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up into a strange arc. No matter what you say, as long as you drink this glass of wine, you won't be able to have the final say in the future.

Shangguan LAN 'er snorted and did not bother to talk to Xu lingchong anymore. She raised her neck and was about to drink the wine. This was a specially made spirit wine anyway, and she had drunk a lot since she was young. It would not be a problem for her to drink a few cups.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was a little worried. Xu lingchong's actions were obviously fishy, and if he was not wrong, there was definitely something in the spirit wine. With Lin Yi's strength and determination, he wouldn't take it to heart, but when it came to Shangguan LAN 'er, it was hard to say.

However, just as Xu lingchong's plan was about to succeed, the little Curly Bear suddenly jumped onto Shangguan LAN 'er's body and licked the wine in the glass while everyone was not paying attention.

"Little white, you little drunkard!" Shangguan LAN 'er did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Although this scene was unexpected, it was reasonable. It was not the first time that the little Curly Bear had stolen spirit wine. In fact, this fellow had shown the potential of an alcoholic since he was young. Ever since he fell into a wine jar and became drunk, the little fellow would steal any wine he saw. He had never let go of a chance like this.

This time, Xu lingchong was dumbfounded. The spirit wine that he had tried every means to make Shangguan LAN 'er drink had ended up in the stomach of the little Curly Bear in the blink of an eye. What the hell was this?

"Alright, now that Xiao Bai has drunk on my behalf, you should be fine. Hurry up and make way for me!" Shangguan LAN 'er raised her neck at Xu lingchong.

"This ... This doesn't count, does it?" Xu lingchong quickly poured another glass of wine, wanting to let Shangguan LAN 'er drink it, but unfortunately, miss Shangguan didn't even look at him, directly calling Lin Yi and walking around him to go upstairs.

F * ck! Xu lingchong could only curse out loud. If they were not in public, he would have forced Shangguan LAN 'er to drink it. Although this plan was spontaneous, whether it could be successfully completed or not was related to his future. He could not allow any mistakes!

However, now that Shangguan LAN 'er had already brought Lin Yi upstairs, it was useless for Xu lingchong to lower his head and stop. At this time, if he forced himself to follow Shangguan LAN' er and force her to drink, it would be too conspicuous, and everyone present would probably start to suspect his motives.

Looking at the backs of Shangguan LAN 'er and Lin Yi walking up hand in hand, Xu lingchong spat hatefully. His actions just now weren't for nothing. Shangguan LAN' er didn't succeed, but at least she made Lin Yi drink this cup of spirit wine with added ingredients. As long as he used it well, the follow-up plan could still be carried out smoothly. (To be continued.)
