Chapter 307: Drunk ? I Have a Bed Here

...

Ever since their last conversation, Chen Xin's bottleneck had loosened due to the words Zeng Yi spoke. Excited, Chen Xin immediately rushed to his place of seclusion to continue his cultivation.

Zeng Yi was also happy to see his master make a breakthrough. After all, it meant that his master had become stronger, and by extension, his own support had become even more reliable.

According to his master, Chen Xin's Spirit Power at Level 96 had very few opponents on the continent. Once he broke through to Level 97, there would be almost no one who could pose a threat to him, except for the three Limit Douluo at Level 99 that his master mentioned.

According to his master, his father, at Level 97, could fight against a Limit Douluo at Level 99, although he would not be able to win and would eventually end up injured or dead. But being able to come back alive from a battle against a Limit Douluo was a testament to his formidable strength.

But now, Chen Xin had the assistance of Ning Fengzhi and the freakish support ability of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. With Chen Xin's Level 97 power, he could at least go toe-to-toe with a Limit Douluo at Level 99.

At least in this era where there were no divine-level experts, no one could threaten the position of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

However, since Sword Douluo had entered seclusion, Zeng Yi felt a bit uncomfortable. Without Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Domain to help with his cultivation, how could he continue to comprehend and construct his own domain?

He had just begun to adapt to his Seven Kill Domain and had a sense of it. But just at this crucial moment, the person who could guide him disappeared.

But there was no way Zeng Yi could drag his master out of seclusion. He could slow down his own cultivation, but his master's cultivation was of utmost importance.

After a few days passed, Sword Douluo still hadn't come out of seclusion. It seemed that his seclusion this time would take a long time. Without his assistance in cultivation, Zeng Yi became a bit bored. He stopped his own cultivation and began to guide his disciples in their training, including Yan Que and Ling Yunfei, who was considered a disciple to some extent.

While guiding his disciples in their training, Zeng Yi also took the opportunity to organize his insights from this period of cultivation and waited for his master to come out of seclusion.

However, before his master came out of seclusion, Ning Fengzhi summoned Zeng Yi.

In the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Ning Ge, what's the matter that made you summon me?" Zeng Yi casually asked as he stepped through the door.

Seeing Zeng Yi's figure, Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched slightly.

Didn't he see that there were other people here? It would be fine if it were a regular occasion, but at a critical moment like this, couldn't his eyes show a bit more awareness and give me some face? I am the master of the sect after all!

Ning Fengzhi gazed at Zeng Yi and inwardly roared.

Upon entering, Zeng Yi noticed that there were a few other figures besides Ning Fengzhi, which made him feel a bit awkward. He thought there was only Ning Fengzhi present, so he acted more casually.

"Oh, it turns out there are guests here too." Zeng Yi glanced roughly at the people in the room and finally stopped on a silver-haired man, his face showing a surprised expression.

"It's you! How come you have the time to come here and play?" Zeng Yi looked at him and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Xue Qinghe smiled faintly. "Long time no see, Zeng Yi."

After seeing Zeng Yi, Xue Qinghe found himself becoming extremely excited. He was very happy deep inside, as if he had eaten honey. It made it hard for him to control his emotions.

Upon careful consideration, it had been almost half a year since they last met. Now that he saw this familiar face, he felt as if they had been separated by a lifetime.

Was it because she considered him a true friend after opening her heart to him and having honest conversations? Was that the reason why she had become like this?

She didn't know when it started, but because of one person, her emotions no longer remained calm. However, when she saw him by her side, she felt incredibly at ease.

Nevertheless, Xue Qinghe forcibly suppressed her excited emotions and looked at Zeng Yi with a calm smile.

"Hahaha, since you've come to my territory this time, I have to treat you well. Later, I'll show you my cooking skills." Zeng Yi laughed and said, walking a few steps to Xue Qinghe's side and putting his hand on his shoulder, leaning closer to his ear.

"I managed to get a few good bottles of wine from that old man. The taste, oh~"

That old man naturally referred to Zeng Yi's master, Sword Douluo. During his long stay at the Divine Sword Peak, Zeng Yi learned that his master, Sword Douluo, was also someone who enjoyed good wine and had collected many excellent bottles. What surprised Zeng Yi the most was that his master could even make his own wine, and the taste was fantastic.

Recalling the taste of the wine he got from his master, Zeng Yi couldn't help but smack his lips.

However, Xue Qinghe couldn't listen to Zeng Yi's words anymore. Suddenly being embraced like this by Zeng Yi, her mind went blank, and her pale, jade-like ear turned slightly pink. She felt her heart pounding and her thoughts becoming fuzzy.

Calm down, Xue Qinghe, what are you thinking? Remember, you are a man now. This is just normal behavior between friends. So, don't overthink it!

She kept reminding herself, trying to calm down her restless emotions. However, her accelerated heartbeat couldn't deceive herself.

"Tonight, we won't stop until we're drunk. There will be plenty of wine, so drink without worry. If you get drunk, I have a bed here. You can sleep wherever you want." Zeng Yi patted his chest and said confidently.

Now, Xue Qinghe was even more confused. The emotions that were about to calm down suddenly surged like waves in her heart, and her entire face turned red.

A bed? Sleep anywhere?

Is that how friends behave?

Xue Qinghe felt herself becoming even more dizzy.

Ning Fengzhi noticed Xue Qinghe's change in mood and couldn't help but clear his throat a few times, reminding "Alright, Xiao Yi, stop teasing Qinghe. He is not someone like you who lacks refinement."

Xue Qinghe was the Crown Prince of the Empire, having received noble etiquette education since childhood. Ning Fengzhi thought that Xue Qinghe was feeling a bit unsure about how to deal with Zeng Yi's casual behavior and physical contact, causing him to feel nervous.

Indeed, if others knew that Xue Qinghe was the Emperor's Crown Prince, they would speak to him with utmost respect. However, Zeng Yi, like this, treated him so casually.

"That's right, you are the Empire's Crown Prince, of noble status. I, on the other hand, am just a commoner. It's really impolite of me to behave like this. Would you punish me for such an offense, as a humble person like me?" Zeng Yi heard Ning Fengzhi's words, released his hold on Xue Qinghe, and teased. Seeing Xue Qinghe like this, Zeng Yi found it quite funny.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe frowned, revealing a slightly embarrassed expression on his face. He couldn't help clenching his fist and punching Zeng Yi in the stomach.

"Ouch~"

As Zeng Yi doubled over in pain from the sudden strike, Xue Qinghe stood in front of him, his expression somewhat cold as he stared at him with a distant gaze, coldly questioning him.

"Is it so funny?"

Zeng Yi couldn't help but lift his head. Xue Qinghe stood before him, his face exuding an air of seriousness, his gaze cold and indifferent, as he asked.
