Still the first one!
"Legend has it that this Gu Xie prime minister was promoted by Emperor Qinghe during the war. How could someone who was valued by Emperor Qinghe be an incompetent person?" Shui Bing'er explained.
"That's true."
At that moment, the participating academies gradually headed to the preparation area, while Jun Yi was dragged by the ear by Dugu Yan to the referee area. Here, most of the former members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team were present, including Osler, Yu Feng, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo. Like Dugu Yan, they had all become teachers at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
As for Ye Lingling, she inherited the position of the Undying Sect from her grandfather and is extremely busy, so she did not come to this competition.
" Sister Yanyan, stop pulling me! You've made my ears look huge!" Jun Yi complained.
"You said you'd only look after Tianshui's family when I asked you to help manage the academy?" Dugu Yan said angrily. "You actually started catching up with those two sisters. Why don't you two rekindle your old flame and find me a few more sisters?"
That's great.
"You good-for-nothing!" Dugu Yan kicked Jun Yi.
Jun Yi dodged it in a flash, then said with a grin, "Alright, alright, we're not responsible for what happens next. Come on, it's on me, Delicacy Pavilion, let's all have a good meal."
"As expected of Jun Yi, you're still as generous as ever." Osler put his arm around Jun Yi's shoulder.
Yu Feng frowned slightly, a puzzled look on his face. " Jun Yi, do you really have money? Didn't you give all your money to Sister Yanyan?"
"Yeah, the other day when you treated us to dinner, you didn't bring any money. We brothers spent ages scraping together enough, but it still wasn't enough for the meal. In the end, a few of us had to wash dishes with you. A total of five thousand dishes! I was exhausted," Shi Mo complained.
"Yes, yes." Shi Mo nodded in agreement.
"Uh, it seems not. It's okay, Sister Yanyan will give it to me." As he spoke, Jun Yi turned to look at Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan didn't hesitate. She simply took out a Soul Tool Ring from her pocket and tossed it to Jun Yi. "I'm not going. I'm the chief referee for this competition. Drink less, or I'll have to carry you around later. That would be embarrassing."
Jun Yi took the Soul Tool Ring, then gently kissed her cheek and said, "Long live my wife."
"Alright, with so many people watching, aren't you ashamed?" Dugu Yan's face turned slightly red.
"We're an old married couple, what's there to be shy about?" Jun Yi put the ring on his finger, then said to the group, "Let's go, brothers, to the Delicacy Pavilion!"
"Long live the captain!"
And so, the group left the academy together and headed towards the Delicacy Pavilion Restaurant. When they arrived at the restaurant, the waiter immediately recognized them as the people who couldn't pay their bills earlier, and his attitude became somewhat ambiguous.
He led the group to a private room and then said to Jun Yi and the others, "Welcome to the Delicacy Pavilion. This is our menu."
The waiter handed five menus to the group and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, our Delicacy Pavilion has a new policy. To reduce waste, you need to pay a deposit of 500 Gold Soul Coin in advance. We will refund the deposit to you after you finish your meal."
"A new rule?" Jun Yi immediately saw that the waiter was lying, but he didn't expose him. Instead, he handed the waiter the Soul Tool Ring in his hand and said, "There are 20,000 Gold Soul Coin in this ring. Keep it here for now. You can take the money out of it and pay the bill after the food is served."
"Yes." The waiter took the Soul Tool Ring and placed it in his palm.
Jun Yi simply told everyone, "Order whatever you like, eat whatever you want."
Jun Yi is a very wealthy man. Everyone knows that Xuejun Pavilion is the richest in the world. I'm definitely going to take advantage of him.
Soon, a variety of delicacies were served, and the group ate heartily without any hesitation.
As they drank, the group chatted about their "experiences" over the years. To put it bluntly, it was all bragging. Osler and Yu Feng didn't have any other thoughts about Jun Yi's identity.
In their view, Jun Yi's choice to return to Heaven Dou City and become an honorary lecturer at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy showed that he enjoyed this ordinary life, and that Jun Yi was usually a very easygoing person who didn't care about the differences in social class.
After a hearty meal and drinks, the group, thoroughly drunk, put their arms around each other's shoulders. After paying the bill, they left the restaurant with the help of the waiters.
On the street, a few people strolled back and forth leisurely. Shi Mo and Shi Mo had some things to do and needed to go home, so they left in another direction. Osler, Yu Feng, and Jun Yi came to a bridge, sat on the ground, and felt the evening breeze, just like three children.
"Hiccup, Jun Yi, although your cultivation is high, you're really lacking when it comes to drinking. Compared to me and Yu Feng, you're far, far behind." Osler turned to look at Jun Yi leaning against the bridgehead and laughed.
"I'm really no good at drinking. You guys are the ones who can do it. I admit defeat," Jun Yi surrendered.
"Hehe, we're the first two people to be able to subdue the legendary Pavilion Master Jun!" Yu Feng laughed loudly.
The three of them sat there enjoying the breeze, joking with each other. Passersby, seeing this, kept their distance, fearing that these three drunkards might cause trouble.
Just then, a figure appeared before the three of them. She wore a long blue dress and had a slender figure. Her long, flowing blue hair cascaded down her back. Upon seeing the three, she walked straight up to them and exclaimed in surprise, " Yu Feng, Osler, and Jun Yi? What are you three doing here?"
The three turned around and were somewhat surprised to see this person. Yu Feng spoke first, " Lingling? Weren't you supposed to be in the sect? What are you doing here?"
"I've almost finished everything and was just about to go back to the academy to see you when I saw you here. Judging from your appearance, you've had quite a bit to drink."
"Cough cough, no, Lingling, I only drank a little. It was mainly the two of them who drank it," Yu Feng quickly shifted the blame.
"Really?" Ye Lingling looked at Yu Feng with a scrutinizing gaze, while Yu Feng directly used his Soul Power to eliminate the effects of the alcohol in his body, restoring himself to sobriety.
Seeing this, Osler mocked, " Yu Feng, you lost. You used your Soul Power to neutralize the effects of the alcohol first. You'll treat next time!"
Hearing this, Ye Lingling instantly understood everything. She looked at Yu Feng angrily and said, "So, Yu Feng, didn't you promise me you wouldn't drink? What, you don't want a child anymore?"
Seeing that Ye Lingling was truly angry, Yu Feng immediately knelt down and said, "Wife, I was wrong, I'm sorry."
