Chapter 78: The Moon Palace Hosts a Banquet! Murder in Wine! Night Falls
Chapter 78: A banquet is held in Yue Mansion! Murder in wine!
As night falls, the Yue family is brightly lit with bright red lanterns hanging high.
In the courtyard planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, a table made of purple nanmu was piled with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, all of which were rare ingredients.
This ingredient contains abundant spiritual energy, and long-term consumption is of great benefit to practitioners. The alluring aroma wafting in the air makes people's throats roll.
There were many beautiful maids walking among them, wearing silk gauze.
His eyes are gleaming, his smile is charming, and his inadvertent amorous feelings make people's hearts sway.
The graceful figure is pleasing to the eye and the atmosphere is very lively.
Qin Changgeng wore a moon-white robe and sat upright, looking indescribably free and easy.
His sharp-edged face looked a bit lazy, as if nothing could be on his mind.
The father and daughter of the Yue family accompanied him personally, one on the left and the other on the right, their faces glowing red.
There were also important figures from the Ji family, and they all showed flattering smiles in front of Qin Changgeng.
Today, Qin Changgeng's battle with the elders of the Ba Dao Sect caused a great commotion and shocked the entire Yue Mansion.
At such an age, if he can defeat a semi-saint strong man head-on, his future prospects are limitless.
Everyone wanted to take advantage of this dinner to leave a good impression in front of this young and powerful man.
If he could please Qin Changgeng and get a chance to serve, his career would skyrocket.
All kinds of words of praise kept pouring out of his mouth, with a pleasing tone in his tone.
Qin Changgeng was already tired of hearing these flattery words. He smiled on the surface, but secretly paid attention to Xiao Yu's every move.
Xiao Yu was a little abnormal today.
Dressed like a guard, he was also mixed in with the maids, and was pouring wine for Qin Changgeng diligently.
There was no dissatisfaction on his face, and his posture was extremely low, even a little too humble.
It seems a bit artificial.
Originally, he was not qualified to come on this occasion.
But Xiao Yu went to see Yue Qingrou, hoping that through today's dinner party, he could resolve the previous misunderstanding with Qin Changgeng.
Yue Qingrou saw Xiao Yu's sincere face and sincere attitude, so she agreed.
After all, Xiao Yu had treated her for such a long time, and he was still somewhat grateful to Xiao Yu.
She also hopes that after tonight, the two of them can get along harmoniously, and the previous unpleasantness can disappear.
After Yue Qingrou's dealings, Yue Jinghong's consent was reluctantly obtained.
However, Yue Jinghong made a request, that is, Xiao Yu must attend as a guard of the Yue family.
In fact, this was Yue Jinghong's way of deliberately making things difficult for Xiao Yu. He did not want his daughter to have too much involvement with Xiao Yu.
After all, for now, Yue Qingrou belongs to Qin Changgeng, and Xiao Yu has always had evil thoughts about Yue Qingrou.
He was very unpopular with Yue Jinghong.
I originally thought that Xiao Yu would retreat in spite of the difficulty, but I didn't expect that he would actually change into guard clothes and agree to Yue Jinghong's terms.
"Master Qin, I'll pour you some wine!"
Xiao Yu smiled and picked up the jug to pour wine for Qin Changgeng. The clear wine poured down, washing away the amber light.
A strong aroma of wine wafts out, making people intoxicated and salivating.
In order to entertain Qin Changgeng this time, the Yue family tried their best and collected a lot of good things everywhere for Qin Changgeng to enjoy.
This jug of wine alone is worth one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones.
At such a price, you can buy a low-grade Xuan-level weapon.
Qin Changgeng held the wine glass, but did not drink it. He just sniffed it with his nose and put it away.
Such behavior made Xiao Yu a little uneasy. Qin Changgeng wouldn't find anything, right?
This thought only popped up in his mind for a moment, and was suppressed by the strong self-confidence that surged deep in Xiao Yu's heart.
The poison he put was completely colorless and odorless, and no abnormality would appear on the surface of those who were poisoned.
I will only become drunk and unable to open my eyes forever.
This wine poisons the soul, not the body.
Even a strong semi-saint will fall victim to this attack.
The best thing is that no one has been able to find out the real reason why the poisoned person was unconscious.
This poison was originally a treasure he kept at the bottom of his box, but now that he was using it to deal with Qin Changgeng, he felt it was a bit of a waste.
Poisons of this level are disposable consumables and are gone after use.
Xiao Yu has always regarded it as a means to save his life.
He didn't believe that Qin Changgeng could tell there was something wrong with the wine just by smelling it.
Seeing that Qin Changgeng made no next move and just looked at the glass of wine, Xiao Yu couldn't help but urge him.
"Master Qin, drink, why don't you drink?"
"If it is stored for a long time, the taste inside will change and the taste will be weakened a lot."
"Drink it quickly before the spiritual energy inside dissipates."
Looking at Xiao Yu who was urging him eagerly, Qin Changgeng's eyes were a little playful.
Although he didn't know what Xiao Yu did in it, he wouldn't drink it so easily.
He knew Xiao Yu's character very well. He always wanted revenge, so how could he swallow his anger and apologize to himself like this?
He obviously had some premeditation.
"Brother Xiao, don't be anxious. I want to invite someone to drink this first glass of wine."
Yue Jinghong next to her was stunned for a moment, but a chrysanthemum-like smile bloomed on her face.
"I don't know who it is, but I am so lucky to be able to drink the wine given by Master Qin. I really envy others!"
The other people also agreed, and they all wanted to ask for this glass of wine, but they didn't say it clearly.
Only Yue Qingrou frowned slightly, seeming to realize something was wrong.
Xiao Yu's performance was a little too eager, which was a little different from what she had in mind.
Qin Changgeng smiled slightly and pointed at Xiao Yu.
"Brother Xiao has really worked hard to treat Qingrou. This first glass of wine should be given to Brother Xiao."
"Please, Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao will definitely give you this face."
"I sincerely want to treat Brother Xiao to a drink!"
Xiao Yu's face changed slightly and he laughed dryly.
"I'm just a little guard. I'm not qualified to drink the wine given by Master Qin. It's better for Master Qin to drink this glass of wine."
Seeing Xiao Yu's face looking a little unnatural, a trace of doubt flashed in Yue Qingrou's beautiful eyes, but she said this.
"Brother Xiao, since Brother Qin has said so, just come and have a drink with me."
The other people didn't realize what was wrong and tried to persuade him one after another.
"Master Qin gives you a little escort to drink, which is a blessing that your ancestors will never get away from in eight lifetimes."
"If you are told to drink, just drink. Where does all this nonsense come from!"
"If you don't drink this glass of wine, you won't give Mr. Qin face, and you won't give me face!"
Xiao Yu's face turned green and red, and he could only hold the wine glass helplessly, the hand holding the wine glass trembling.
Although he had administered the poison, he had no antidote.
If he drank it, the game would be over completely. Xiao Yu really didn't dare to drink it.
