"Song Chao, I think we should skip it. A little drinking is fun, but too much is bad for you."
Feng Lulu, as the star of the evening, waved her hand at the crowd at the perfect mont. "Besides, everyone here tonight is a dear friend or family. Don't worry so much about who can drink more."
"Since Lulu said so, I agree." Song Chao nodded in agreent without a second thought.
The three of them had co here tonight. Besides him, the other two were a couple.
He had been pursuing Feng Lulu for a while, so naturally, his goal tonight was to make a good impression.
Ma Long raised a glass and downed it in one gulp. "Lulu has a point. It's not just us young people here today. Elder Lin is also present, so it's not a good ti for a drinking competition."
"Hearing the way you say that, Brother Ma, sounds like you want to challenge us to a drinking contest?" Song Chao chid in with a laugh.
"If you're interested, how about we move to a KTV later?" Ma Long said with a smile, his eyes narrowing.
"Of course, no problem." Song Chao was extrely excited.
This was his plan all along. Maybe at the KTV, he could get a little closer to Feng Lulu!
"Let's keep eating," Jiang Xinghai's voice sounded faintly.
"Brother Jiang, want to join us when we head over later?" Song Chao extended the invitation to Jiang Xinghai as well.
Jiang Xinghai was about to refuse, but Feng Lulu interjected, "Sure, let's all go together later."
She figured that since she was heading to the Provincial City tomorrow, she might as well go wild and have fun tonight.
「Half an hour later.」
Feng Lulu's birthday dinner was over.
While Ma Long went to pay the bill, Feng Lulu chatted with her classmates.
anwhile, Lin Liping ca to Jiang Xinghai's side. "Xinghai, I'll have to trouble you to look after Lulu. My father and I are heading back first."
"Don't worry," Jiang Xinghai nodded.
Shen Lingxue also spoke up at this mont. "Xinghai, don't stay out too late. You should head ho early too. I'm going to see Liping and the others off first."
"You're not coming with us?" Jiang Xinghai couldn't help but scratch his head.
"I'm not going. I have sothing I need to discuss with Yanyun over video call, and Lingyin is insisting on going along." Shen Lingxue glanced at Shen Lingyin, who had blended in with Feng Lulu's group. "You need to help look after her too. Try not to let her drink anymore."
"Alright." Jiang Xinghai nodded.
His gaze lingered on Shen Lingxue and Lin Liping for a mont.
Ever since he began cultivating the Dragon Locking Secret Technique, he had needed won to consolidate his cultivation base.
The interval could not exceed three days.
And tonight was the second day.
Lin Liping was leaving for the Provincial City tomorrow, so there would definitely be no more chances with her in the future.
As for Shen Lingxue…
The corner of Jiang Xinghai's mouth lifted into a slight smile. 'This woman has always been so reserved, still seemingly unable to let go. I don't want to be too rough with her, either.'
'But if I don't perform Yin-Yang Fusion with a woman by tomorrow night, my cultivation will regress!'
'When that ti cos, if that mastermind behind my parents' murder, Mr. Long in his black cloak, shows up, will I even be able to defeat him?'
It was an unknown!
His senior sister, Zhao Linglong, had fought Mr. Long once and was wounded by a dagger!
Jiang Xinghai felt a headache coming on. 'I really don't want to go to those places of debauchery to release this pressure.'
'Otherwise, I would have just taken those two won from South Korea.'
"Brother Hai, should we get going?"
At that mont, Ma Long returned from paying the bill and called out to them.
"Just a second."
Jiang Xinghai glanced back at Lin Qingyuan, then his gaze fell upon Lin Liping and Shen Lingxue, and he waved goodbye.
"Xinghai, wait a mont."
Lin Liping pulled Jiang Xinghai aside and whispered, "Lulu and I are going to the Provincial City tomorrow, and I don't know when we'll be back. What if I miss you?"
"Well…" Jiang Xinghai's head throbbed again.
He had originally told Feng Lulu that if they were to go to the Provincial City a few days later, he would have been able to accompany them.
But right now, he really couldn't get away.
According to his plan, he was going to elevate the Shen Family to a First-class Clan the day after tomorrow!
Today and tomorrow were the days he had set aside to deal with the Mu Family and the Wanyan Family.
It couldn't be postponed any longer.
Lin Liping sensed Jiang Xinghai's predicant and whispered suggestively, "How about… I get a hotel room tonight…"
"That's… not a good idea, is it?"
Jiang Xinghai shook his head. "Your father just got back. It wouldn't look good for you to stay out all night. Not good at all."
"Then next ti…" Lin Liping felt that what Jiang Xinghai said made sense.
"How about this," Jiang Xinghai said seriously, pursing his lips. "When you run into any 'difficulties' in the Provincial City, give a call. I can leave Jizhou for a day without any issue."
"When you say 'difficulties,' do you an if Lulu and I are in danger? Or… *that*…" Lin Liping blushed and lowered her head.
"It includes both anings," Jiang Xinghai said with a grin.
Lin Liping felt imnsely gratified. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Alright then."
"Liping, we really have to go. I… I'm on my period."
Just then, Shen Lingxue walked over, looking a bit flustered. She pulled Lin Liping away, glancing shyly at Jiang Xinghai out of the corner of her eye.
"You've got to be kidding ."
Jiang Xinghai had been planning on how he would get Shen Lingxue to submit after they got back to the Shen residence tonight.
Now, it looked like he would have to wait at least seven days.
'I can't possibly go and corrupt that young Lingyin, can I?' Jiang Xinghai's gaze locked onto Shen Lingyin.
