Chapter 588: After modification: Chapter 388 Not Necessarily
Sunx Wei took a deep breath and settled down. He cautiously asked, "Master... what are you doing here?"
"Nothing much! Zhang Dadan called me over, so I came!" Sunx Liancheng said matter-of-factly.
Although he was a bit jealous of Zhang’s courage, Zhang Dadan had given him an opportunity to go out, and naturally, he had to pay the price for it.
Sunx Wei listened to his response but became increasingly confused. He gave Chen Guoqing a glance and signaled him to drop his action.
Chen Guoqing nodded understandingly and then inadvertently placed his hand on the table, preparing to break the wineglass in front of Zhang Dadan.
However, just as Chen Guoqing’s wrist was about to meet Zhang’s glass, Zhang Dadan held firm.
A frightened Sunx Wei saw him lift the wineglass and then quickly toasted, "Mr. Zhang, my respects!"
"Giving me wine? Where did this come from? How can I say it’s from the younger generation, how can I respect you?" Zhang Dadan said.
Before Sunx Wei could respond, Zhang Dadan placed the wineglass before Sunx Liancheng and smiled, "This wine is still meant for toasting Sunx Liancheng!"
When Sunx Wei saw this, he was terrified, trembling even, spilling the wine in his glass.
"No... no... this wine is for you!" Sunx Wei rushed over and grabbed the glass in front of Sunx Liancheng.
Zhang Dadan sneered and joked, "What? Mr. Sunx, is this wine poisoned?"
He knew that all present were staring at them, their hearts stopping upon hearing this.
How did Zhang Dadan know the wine was medicated? First, Sunx Wuxiong’s small actions while drinking had aroused Zhang Dadan’s suspicion.
And his five senses were far beyond an ordinary person’s; just by carefully sniffing, he could smell the herbal aroma in the wine, including a mysterious herb named Sunflower Mingzi.
This herb is hard to find in ordinary medical books but should be familiar to many ancient martial arts families because this herb can make a person lose their skills rapidly.
Drinking this cup of wine might not be too severe for Zhang Dadan, but for others, it’s not necessarily the case.
In fact, Sunx Wei didn’t quite understand the toxicity of this poison, only knowing there’s no
Sunx Wei was an elder, but his dignity and inferiority were different after all. Toasting Sunx Liancheng was giving him face. If he didn’t drink, he wouldn’t know how to raise himself, making Sunx Liancheng resent him.
But this wine contained a very special drug that would disable a person and gradually render them useless. If they drank it, their lifelong abilities would be destroyed in one go!
In Sunx Wei’s dilemma, Chen Guoqing suddenly paced around and helped persuade him, "Don’t push back, Brother Sunx. Isn’t it just a glass of wine?"
Sunx Wei doubted his family, wanting to rid himself. He said increasingly shocked, "Guoqing, you..."
Before he finished, Sunx Liancheng beside him was displeased. He frowned and said, "Grandfather, my arm is a bit sore!"
Seeing this, Sunx Wei reluctantly picked up the wineglass, stared at the wine inside, and secretly mourned. Should he drink or not?
"Please, grandson!" Seeing him stare at the glass, Sunx Liancheng hurriedly urged again.
Zhang Dadan saw him trembling all over, sweat pouring from his forehead, but his heart was filled with joy and glory. He couldn’t blame anyone; it was his own mistake.
"Brother Sunx, if you can’t drink, I will drink for you." Chen Guoqing boldly said.
While talking, he reached out for the glass but unfortunately hit Sunx Wei.
A frightened and terrified Sunx Wei quickly understood and swiftly loosened his hand, letting the glass fall.
With a crash, the stone block in Sunx Wei’s heart finally fell to the ground, unconsciously feeling the rebirth after a robbery.
"Brother Sunx, it’s all my fault. I couldn’t get it. I will penalize myself." Chen Guoqing apologized.
Afterward, he returned to his seat, raised the glass before him, and drank it all, then poured another glass to compensate Sunx Liancheng.
Unaware of the truth, although Sunx Liancheng was a bit angry, he wasn’t adept at punishing others for such minor mistakes.
Escaping death, Sunx Wei wasn’t angry seeing Sunx Liancheng. He couldn’t help but sigh deeply and quickly penalize himself to admit his mistake.
After the two elders were penalized three cups, Sunx Liancheng said very generously, "Alright! This was an unintentional loss. Why should we mobilize the public in such a manner?"
Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but laugh, "Unintentional loss? I’m afraid you can only deceive such simple people!"
Though a bit unwilling, Zhang Dadan refrained from being aggressive, giving Sunx Wei a chance. At this moment, he wasn’t in a hurry.
"Mr. Sunx Wei, Mr. Sunx Liancheng, do you want to come with us to Wutai Mountain this time?" Zhang Dadan suddenly said.
Surviving the accident, Sunx Wei was delighted to hear the news.
If Sunx Liancheng went with him to do everything in Wutai Mountain, wouldn’t that mean Mr. Sunx couldn’t know?
If Mr. Sunx knew how to handle Zhang’s bold affairs, he feared he was doomed.
"Does the chief executive not let you stay in this city?" Sunx Wei walked out and tried to sway Sunx Liancheng’s thoughts.
Sure enough, Sunx Liancheng’s eyes suddenly dimmed upon hearing this, immersing the whole person in an unwilling atmosphere.
Seeing his dejection, Zhang Dadan encouraged, "Sunx Liancheng, I already told you your grandfather let me talk about it."
"That’s what you said! I’m going to Wutai Mountain this time, but you didn’t take me there!" Sunx Liancheng said rudely.
Hearing this, Sunx Wei looked at Chen Guoqing, deeply worried. Why did Zhang Dadan take Sunx Liancheng and himself? Did he realize his evil intentions?
Why did he suddenly refuse to drink the wine and let Sunx Liancheng use that glass to toast himself? Did he already see the wine as poisoned?
Sunx Wei was worried again. Despite doing many evil deeds, he had never been this troubled.
Everyone had dinner with ghosts in his womb. The sky was dark. Only a few stars still shone brightly.
Zhang Dadan was arranged to stay in the guest room, and Sunx Liancheng drove home. He had to wait for his grandfather to finally decide whether to go to Wutai Mountain.
As the night deepened, the suburbs became unusually quiet. The city neither had noise nor the roar of insects and animals.
Zhang Dadan finished the call about Sunx’s attack. He just wanted to lock the door so he could enter the Jade Token for practice, when he noticed a gust of eerie wind.
In this eerie wind, it wasn’t only mixed with the turbid spirit but also accompanied by continuous resentment, making him have to pay attention.
To find the origin of the evil spirit, Zhang Dadan turned off the lights and lay in bed, pretending to sleep.
After a quarter, the aura became stronger.
Zhang Daxiu, having reached the realm of building the foundation, could already master the spell skillfully and naturally wouldn’t fear ordinary ghosts.
The ghost’s tragic experience triggered his righteous indignation. At a moment of pity, she accepted the spell for capturing ghosts.
The ghost found that her power to restrain herself had disappeared, yet she did not flee, instead boldly pleading guilty to Zhang.
"Da County, I am not here to rob your Yang today, nor to return favor, just to remind you!" The ghost said mournfully.
