The Exposed Secret Brew

Among the fellow disciples, they would rather provoke their master's anger than offend their little junior brother.

Because if they offended their master, at most they would be scolded a few times. But if they offended their little junior brother, not only would their master scold them, they would also have to bear the condemnation of all their fellow disciples!

"What! Do I have to go invite him myself!" Tian Buyi's mouth twitched as he glared over. "What about Old Seven?"

"Well..." Song Daren did not know how to put it.

"What is there that you can't tell me?" Tian Buyi glared at his eldest disciple again.

"Little junior brother seems to have created that kind of technique!" Song Daren answered cautiously.

"He created another technique? What is it this time?" Tian Buyi looked at Song Daren in surprise, and everyone else also turned to look.

"Master, have you forgotten? It's... that technique for running fast!" Song Daren shrank his neck as he replied.

"What!" After hearing this, Tian Buyi shot to his feet in shock. "That little brat succeeded? It's only been how long! He really created it? That who..." Tian Buyi raised a hand and pointed at He Dazhi, so shocked that for a moment he could not even remember his name.

Everyone else also opened their mouths wide in astonishment! One after another, they looked at He Dazhi.

Wasn't there that paradox? How had it worked?

"Didn't you say that paradox about movement techniques was unsolvable?" Tian Buyi truly could not remember his name for the moment, so he asked directly.

"Well, Master! Actually, you don't need to care!" Song Daren edged a little farther back.

"What?" Tian Buyi did not understand what his eldest disciple meant.

"At the time, we all laughed at little junior brother. Didn't he say that after he created a new technique, he absolutely wouldn't teach it to us? So... even if he created it, it has nothing to do with us!" Song Daren edged a little farther back again.

"That little bastard!" After hearing this, Tian Buyi suddenly shouted, his entire aura erupting. Those standing close were all shaken back several steps.

"What are you getting angry for!" Su Ru grabbed Tian Buyi's sleeve and reproached him unhappily.

"I!" Seeing the sorry state his disciples were in now, and his own daughter looking at him with reddened eyes and a face full of grievance, Tian Buyi felt somewhat awkward.

When he saw that his eldest disciple, who had long since hidden far away, was now wearing a look of relief, he pointed at him in shame and anger. "You! Go call that brat over here for me right now! Immediately! This instant!"

"Master!" Song Daren had just been rejoicing that he had not been caught in the blast when he heard this thankless errand. His face immediately turned bitter. Seeing that Tian Buyi was still in a temper, he could only lower his head and accept the order.

"Mm! Tomorrow you'll be completely better!" Looking at Zhang Xiaofan's feet, which had already stopped swelling, Luo Yunji cheered happily.

"Little junior brother! You're amazing!" Zhang Xiaofan praised him sincerely.

"Of course!" The little fatty laughed delightedly, full of pride.

"Senior brother! You haven't eaten yet, right! I went to look in the kitchen. Sixth senior brother's food is getting harder and harder to eat! Even Big Yellow won't eat it!" Luo Yunji complained with a bitter face.

"I can already get out of bed! I'll go make food for you at noon!" Zhang Xiaofan immediately promised.

"Mm! But be careful with your feet! Don't use too much strength." Luo Yunji instructed him, then said, "I'd better go with you!" Luo Yunji smiled like a fox. In truth, every time Zhang Xiaofan went to the kitchen, the little fatty would find all sorts of excuses to tag along. The moment something was made, he would start eating it directly.

Sometimes, for a single dish, Zhang Xiaofan had to make it twice.

"Okay!" Zhang Xiaofan smiled and nodded.

"Let's eat something first!" As he spoke, the little fatty kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and took out quite a lot of tasty things from the hidden compartment.

"Haha! There's still so much!" The little fatty happily shared some cakes and snacks with Zhang Xiaofan, and the two of them began wolfing food and drink down on the bed.

"Is it all right to drink this here?" Zhang Xiaofan asked worriedly when he saw that the little fatty had actually taken out a bamboo tube filled with monkey wine.

"Right now, Big Fatty and the senior brothers are all practicing! It's fine!" Luo Yunji wore a smug expression as if everything were within his grasp. He took a sip, narrowed his eyes, and looked utterly blissful.

Zhang Xiaofan also took the bamboo tube that was handed over and began to drink.

"What is that? It smells so good!" Just then, Song Daren happened to walk in. Seeing Zhang Xiaofan tilting his head back and drinking something, he sniffed, his face full of longing.

"Pfft!... Cough. Cough cough cough!" Zhang Xiaofan was so frightened that he choked directly on the wine in his mouth.

When the little fatty saw who had come, he hurriedly grabbed the quilt beside him and covered the food on the bed along with Zhang Xiaofan.

"Eldest senior brother!" The little fatty looked in panic at Song Daren, who was sniffing as he walked closer.

"What are you hiding?" Song Daren asked suspiciously, looking at Zhang Xiaofan, who was covered by the quilt, as well as the bits of snacks and crumbs scattered on the bed.

"Nothing! Nothing at all! You saw wrong!" The little fatty's face flushed red with urgency as he hurriedly replied.

Song Daren's face was full of disdain. He had seen it all, all right! Did they really think he was stupid? "If you keep covering him like that, I think Seventh junior brother is about to be smothered to death by you!"

"Huh? Oh! Oh oh! Little senior brother!" Only then did Luo Yunji belatedly hurry to lift the quilt, and he saw Zhang Xiaofan's face flushed bright red.

"E-Eldest senior brother!" Zhang Xiaofan slowly, slowly hid the bamboo tube in his arms behind his back.

"I saw it!" Song Daren rubbed his nose and looked at that bamboo tube, then sniffed.

"No!" Luo Yunji hurriedly crawled a few steps and spread his arms in front of Zhang Xiaofan, glaring at Song Daren.

"Then I'll go tell Master!" Song Daren curled his lip, wearing an expression that said, "You decide what to do."

"Eldest senior brother! How can you be like this!" Luo Yunji's face was full of distress and conflict.

What happened to the honest man they'd agreed on? What happened to cherishing and protecting his junior brothers?

"Let me have a taste! Then I won't tell anyone!" That fragrance was not like the usual aroma of fine food. It carried a trace of wine, and that made Song Daren, who had not known the taste of wine for many years, itch unbearably with craving.

"No!" Luo Yunji puffed out his cheeks and glared at Song Daren as he refused.

Song Daren turned as if to leave.

"Wait!" Luo Yunji hurriedly called out when he saw what was happening.

Song Daren wore a smile that said his "evil scheme had succeeded," but the instant he turned around, his face returned to calm.

"As the eldest senior brother, I have to preserve a bit of dignity in front of my junior brothers," Song Daren silently built himself up inwardly.

Yet beneath that calm face, Luo Yunji somehow managed to make out a trace of slyness.

"Just one sip!" The little fatty held up one chubby finger at Song Daren to confirm.

"One sip!" Song Daren nodded with a smile.

"Wait there!" The little fatty turned away with a face full of reluctance.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan handed over the bamboo tube and whispered by the little fatty's ear, "We still have a lot! And besides, we can make more again in the future!"

"Really? But the monkey wine..." Luo Yunji was somewhat tempted. But when he thought of how rare monkey wine was, his heart ached again, and he felt unwilling.

"There'll always be a way! I promise! I'll definitely find monkey wine for you!" Zhang Xiaofan raised his hand and vowed.

"Mm!" After hearing that, Luo Yunji finally felt a little better.

Holding the bamboo tube, he casually picked up a cup from the table and poured... half a cup.

Song Daren stared at the purplish-red liquid in the cup with shining eyes and swallowed.

"Here!" As he spoke, he hugged the bamboo tube and ran back to the bed, hiding behind Zhang Xiaofan.

Song Daren picked up the cup and brought it to his nose, gently sniffing it. "So fragrant!" His face was intoxicated, and then he took one tiny, light sip!

"Good wine!" Then he raised the cup and brought it to his nose again to smell it, took another delicate sip, and sat by the table, swaying his head as he savored the aftertaste.
