Chapter 40: Imperial Court Situation!

```

Chen Qing didn't hesitate for long before accepting the invitation from the stranger before him and took a seat nearby...

Deep down, he wanted to join Weichi Peng, even though that fellow had a severe case of body odor, which somewhat affected his appetite, but after all, Weichi Peng sincerely considered him a friend, and it was more relaxing to be around him.

However, that might seem disrespectful to Fei Jun. Fei Jun was actually quite a nice person, and Chen Qing didn't really want to offend him.

The most important thing was the current company; just by looking at his air and demeanor, Chen Qing could tell his status was not low. Without knowing the details, it was better to not offend the man. Moreover, by accepting this invitation, he provided an explanation to both Fei Jun and Weichi Peng.

"Does Lord Chen enjoy strong liquor?" the frail middle-aged man asked with a smile.

Chen Qing shook his head and quickly apologized: "This official has not yet learned to drink."
