The Wine Sage tapped the table with his hand and slowly said: “For the good wine today, this Sage shall give you a couple of advice. What is your surname? It is Mu Rong! And your Cousin’s surname is Ji Mo! Your aunt, Mu Rong Ru, is the daughter-in-law of the Ji Mo Clan. If she is imprisoned, it only proves that it had been decided by the Ji Mo Clan’s Patriarch. Who are you representing to go against the decision of the Ji Mo Clan Patriarch? Are you representing the Mu Rong Clan?”
Mu Rong Xin Nuo’s face turned pale as she replied, trembling: “This little girl dare not! Just that Auntie, she… she…”
Mu Rong Xin Nuo stopped talking after seeing the Wine Sage’s eyes which showed that he knew everything in its entirety.
Wine Sage waved his hand: “Leave!”
Mu Rong Xin Nuo gave a bow before silently walking out.
When she reached the door, the Wine Sage’s voice rang again: “Sometimes, those who think that they are the smartest, are normally the ones who die the fastest!”
Mu Rong Xin Nuo’s body shook for a moment and quickly ran as fast as she could after she left the sight of Wine Sage.
The Wine Sage looked at the wine cup in his hand and mumbled: “The kids nowadays are really something, one after the other is as cunning as little foxes. That’s quite some guts to try to wield this old man as a tool…”
It was now late into the night, the Blazing Yang Wine that the Wine Sage had was strong enough to cause someone at his level to feel intoxicated.
Despite teaching a young lady a lesson, the Wine Sage was still satisfied with his day, his head swayed before leaning against the table and slept.
Within the underground dungeon, a dark figure flashed through.
***
Back to the ceremony.
Huan Qing Yan had finished paying her respects, but nothing happened as it turned very silent.
The Bai Li Clan heaved a sigh of relief, there was only one last thing, and they could end the ceremony.
When at that time, a strange scene occurred.
The statue of Chef Sage that had not given any reaction for centuries suddenly started emitting a yellow glow.
The glow was initially faint but soon increased in intensity as a faint shadow appeared.
The shadow of the figure slowly became clearer and condensed, but it was still hard to see the person’s face clearly.
Bai Li Feng and Bai Li Ren quickly kneeled in shock: “The Chef Sage’s spirit has manifested!”
Their words rippled a shock through everyone present.
The Chef Sage’s spirit has manifested? The sage that has not manifested his spirit for many years had suddenly decided to manifest now? Was it because the Bai Li Clan was not doing well in recent times, so the spirit manifested to give the Bai Li Clan support?
Some of the participants with high creativity started wondering.
Some also thought that this was just an act prepared by the Bai Li Clan as it was too much of a coincidence that the Chef Sage would happen to manifest itself on the day the Bai Li Clan had announced the return of a lost clan member and was celebrating the sage’s birthday.
Many peak clans went even further, thinking that even if the Chef Sage’s spirit manifestation was a show put up by the Bai Li Clan, it only proved that they can do so.
If it was really the Chef Sage, how should the clans or respective organizations react? Manifesting the spirit after being silent for so many years, did it imply that there would be a great change coming to Spirit Treasure Continent?
Although everyone was having all sorts of thoughts, they did not hesitate to kneel as well.
The figure that manifested waved his hand and covered Huan Qing Yan in light.
Huan Qing Yan felt a comfortable warmth going through her body, cordial spirit energy flowed through her body, nurturing the injury on her belly and the poor state of her body that resulted from depression.
The light covering Huan Qing Yan soon disappeared, but she was still absorbing the residual spirit energy and did not react to the change in time.
