Chapter 231: Chapter 232: Monkey Wine BanquetWatching Deputy Headmaster Ouyang sweeping away with the flick of his sleeve, everyone looked at each other with bewilderment, not having expected such an outcome. The formidable Deputy Headmaster had shamelessly targeted a junior like this. That wasn’t important; what mattered was he ended up losing to the junior. Deputy Headmaster Ouyang had certainly taken a fall this time, stumbling because he misjudged Mu Can’s courage, never expecting Mu Can would dare to speak to him in such a manner in front of so many people. "Be careful in the future, Can’er, this old fellow is no good bird," Xuanyuan Mingkong warned aloud. "I understand, Master," Mu Can respectfully replied with a bow. Although Mu Can himself didn’t take old man Ouyang seriously, he couldn’t help but feel touched by his master’s concern. "Thank you, Elder Ge, for speaking up on my behalf, and thank you, Sword Venerate, for speaking up on my behalf." Mu Can bowed to Elder Ge and the Sword Venerate; regardless of the reasons they had for speaking on his behalf in that situation, Mu Can wanted to express his thanks. "He came with me. If he were to make a move against you, where would it leave my face?" Elder Ge waved his hand to indicate that Mu Can should not take it to heart. Deputy Headmaster Ouyang had come with him, and although their relationship was mediocre, merely a nodding acquaintance, if old man Ouyang really had been foolish enough to attack Mu Can, it would have been an affront to Elder Ge’s dignity. For someone who valued face as much as Elder Ge did, it would have been a direct insult. "Don’t worry about it, just take the Array books you wanted," Sword Venerate said indifferently, then casually tossed the "Sky Opening" book he held to Mu Can. Purple Cloud owed a great debt to the Sword Venerate, after all. Such a book, simply give it to Mu Can, where’s the harm? Given their relationship, if old man Ouyang truly threatened Mu Can’s life, the Sword Venerate would not hesitate to draw his sword and let them witness his strength as an Immortal Venerable. "You’re being so courteous, Senior, so I won’t be stingy either. For today’s feast, I’ll bring out plenty of Monkey Wine for everyone." Mu Can wasn’t petty. Although Monkey Wine was precious, he had secretly saved a good amount, handing some over to Xuanyuan Mingkong, and what remained in his hands was enough to share with these people. Upon hearing Mu Can’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up. The whole reason for the forced confrontation had to do with the exquisite wine Mu Can possessed, which seemed impossible to come by in the Mortal World. However, with how things had turned out, no one had the face to bring up the matter of drinking. Mu Can’s gesture had earned him ample favor with this group. Nearly everyone there, compelled enough to risk life and limb just for a sip of such wine, was presumably devoted to it like life itself. As expected, after Mu Can spoke those words, nearly everyone looked at him with a friendly and expectant gaze. "Very well, let’s drink to our heart’s content today and also celebrate successfully slaying the three Demon Lords," Elder Ge, who had seen his share of troubles, quickly picked up on Mu Can’s offer, fervently adding on, fearing Mu Can might retract the offer of his fine wine. "Elder Ge, my disciple has already brought out the good wine. Considering you all didn’t contribute much this time, shouldn’t you show some appreciation to my disciple?" Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Xuanyuan Mingkong spared no effort to secure benefits for Mu Can. You guys went in, killed a few, and then got trapped, dragging me into it as well. If it weren’t for the mysterious powerful being who saved you, forget about drinking today; it’s uncertain how many of you would’ve even survived to return. "Certainly." Elder Ge’s face turned red. What Xuanyuan Mingkong had said was entirely true. If they had really been the ones to kill the Demon Lords, then drinking to celebrate was already agreed upon and a must. But the current situation was such that they hadn’t actually been very effective at all, and yet Mu Can was offering them his precious Monkey Wine. Truly, they felt guilty. "I won’t just drink your wine for nothing, here’s a book on array formations as a gift. Though it’s not as precious as those from the Sword Venerate, it’s also left by a grand master of array formations." Old Ge was generous in giving; he obtained this book by a fortunate coincidence, which recorded many lost array formations. "Then, I thank Old Ge," Mu Can said, taking the book and bowing to Old Ge. He indeed wanted to focus on studying array formations to add some life-saving measures to his arsenal. "Since Old Ge has made his move, I cannot be stingy either. Here is a set of Array Flags, specially for Array Masters, and I’m giving it to you today." "I don’t have anything particularly good to give, but here’s a Venerable-grade Spiritual Stone, which can be used as the Array Eye when setting up a Big Formation." "Old Wang, you actually have such good stuff, you really are willing to bleed for this." "This quality of Spiritual Stone is quite rare." "Since you all are so generous, I can’t be stingy either. This ring can help focus the mind and improve the success rate of setting up arrays." Everyone brought out one treasure after another, and in no time, they had furnished Mu Can with everything an Array Master needed. Mu Can held a pile of treasures and grinned foolishly. Though these treasures were not much to those present - not everyone had the talent to become an Array Master, and for them, these useless items could easily be given away as a favor - it wasn’t surprising at all. "Bring the dishes up; we must get completely drunk today." After the gifts were given, it was time for today’s highlight, the Monkey Wine banquet. As the strongest power in the Mortal World, the Immortal Ancient Academy’s cafeteria had the ability to make the tastiest food in the Mortal World. In just a short while, the originally solemn conference hall was filled with the scent of delicious dishes. Seeing that the dishes were all served, everyone looked greedily at Mu Can. Mu Can brought out the Monkey Wine. Seeing Mu Can bring out the Monkey Wine, everyone’s eyes lit up. If it wasn’t for this wine, they wouldn’t have risked venturing into such great danger, but no matter the past struggles, they could finally taste this wine. "Esteemed seniors, this is my last collection, I’m bringing it all out today, let us drink to our heart’s content." Mu Can wasn’t lying; aside from a bit he left for Mu Can’s son, almost all of the Monkey Wine was brought out. When the Jade Bottle containing Monkey Wine was opened, a rich aroma of wine instantly spread throughout the entire room, a single breath made it feel as though one’s body became lighter. These so-called experts’ craving for alcohol was immediately aroused, and they eagerly watched the Jade Bottle in Mu Can’s hand, their gazes filled with intense desire. Mu Can magically laid out the wine cups and gently filled one up; with a flick of his wrist, the first cup of wine was placed steadily in front of Xuanyuan Mingkong. "You really are my good disciple," Xuanyuan Mingkong said, provocatively sweeping his gaze across the crowd. Seeing their envious looks, the old Xuanyuan felt exceptionally proud.
