"What?"

Hearing Xu Fan's words, Kato Bear almost jumped out of his seat with excitement!

Is it just settled like this?

Did this guy just get settled by me like this?

Kato Bear blinked in confusion, feeling that this happened so fast he couldn't react.

Previously outside the hall, he was almost about to fight this kid, and now he came in with a smiling face, always worried that he would flip the table on him, refusing to play along.

Who knew, with just a few sweet words, he'd get him so excited?

Looks like this Huaxia person is really easy to bamboozle.

No, this should be thanks to my Katou Taka, oops! Kato Bear's good acting skills.

Kato Bear rubbed his chin and secretly mused in his heart.

He pondered that the kid was quite young; no matter how skilled, he was still a naive youngster unfamiliar with the world, so he hadn't seen through the bewitching words poured into him.

"Hey! Yes, yes! With our friendship, we must have a drink!"

After internally mourning for three seconds over Xu Fan's intelligence, Kato Bear calmly agreed.

He inadvertently glanced at the wine glass in Xu Fan's hand, a cold smile playing at his lips.

Later, once this kid drinks this glass, he won't need to do it himself.

"Hey, a single cup won't be enough!"

Echoing, Xu Fan looked at Kato Bear, dissatisfied, then took the remaining two glasses of wine from the tray.

"As the saying goes, a thousand cups are too few when drinking with a confidant; I've admired Katou Taka... Bear-sensei for so long, one cup is definitely not enough."

"This..."

Kato Bear stood there dumbfounded, too preoccupied to correct his name.

Xu Fan lined up the three glasses of wine and started interchanging their positions with his two hands.

The movement got faster, with his two hands exchanging positions so quickly they left shadows on the table.

Despite how swiftly he moved, not a drop spilled from any of the three glasses.

After a while of switching, Xu Fan finally stopped.

Kato Bear looked at the three glasses on the table, feeling dizzy.

He damned well couldn't distinguish which glass held the tampered wine.

"Teacher Kato, how does my speed compare to yours?"

"Hmm, can you guess which was the glass I picked first? If you guess it right, I'll drink all three."

"I..."

Hearing Xu Fan's question, Kato Bear almost cursed out loud!

You spun them so fast, my brain is dizzy, how the heck do I tell them apart!

Although Kato Bear was somewhat rash, he wasn't brainless.

If he were to lose face now, it'd be like admitting he'd tampered with the drinks.

Sitting opposite Xu Fan, he was momentarily left speechless.

"Ah, it seems Teacher Kato's discernment needs improvement."

Xu Fan tried to hold back a smile, sighed and picked up a glass from the table.

"I'll drink first to show respect, and hopefully Teacher Kato will give me some face with the remaining glasses."

He spoke and immediately downed the full glass without hesitation.

"This..."

Before entering the room, Kato Bear most anticipated this moment.

But now, damn it, he couldn't even tell if the glass Xu Fan drank was tampered with!

"Alright, I finished my glass, Teacher Kato, it's your turn."

"You lost our little game just now, drinking another glass shouldn't be an issue, right?"

Draining his glass, Xu Fan smiled and looked toward Kato Bear.

Kato Bear's mouth twitched, unable to force out a smile.

Not an issue? Not a damn chance!

This... I can't drink this wine!

For all he knew, the remaining two glasses could have issues!

This drink, even if it killed him, couldn't be drunk!

Facing the bungled act, Kato Bear's eyes rolled around, quickly slapping his thigh and exclaiming!

"Oh no!"

"Ah, how did I forget this..."

Kato Bear shook his head and sighed for a while, then said, "Bro, sorry about that. You see my excitement, making me forget such a big issue."

"Earlier, I nearly caused a big problem."

"Hmm? Big problem."

Seeing Xu Fan being led on, Kato Bear instinctively let out a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, you may not know, we Ancient Cultivators have a rule; for cultivation, one must extinguish human desires, achieving a realm of unity with heaven and man to grasp martial arts."

"This drink and lust, we Ancient Cultivators can't touch them. You see my excitement had me forgetting this."

"Uh, Teacher Kato, you seem quite familiar with Teacher Katou Taka, this drink and lust, you..."

"Cough, cough!"

Thinking about quickly fooling Xu Fan with a few words and leaving, planning revenge later.

Yet Xu Fan seemed unwilling to give him a chance to explain, looking at him with confusion and interrupting.

Recalling his earlier attempt to correct Xu Fan, Kato Bear blushed slightly.

"Huh? Really? What Katou Taka, I don't quite understand what you're saying."

He blinked and feigned innocence with Xu Fan.

Seeing this, Xu Fan couldn't help but chuckle internally.

As he anticipated, among the Ancient Cultivators, claiming to extinguish human desires, very few truly did.

Living in this world, truly transcending it, breaking free is not easy.

Those secret films Kato Bear hid probably aren't fewer than those of Chen Dongdong...

"Maybe I remembered incorrectly."

Xu Fan chuckled, choosing not to unveil Kato Bear, letting him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes, yes, you remembered wrong..."

Covering smoothly, Kato Bear stood up without hesitation.

"Well, I prepared the wine and dishes for you, brother, but you'll have to drink the few glasses alone."

"I have some matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you."

This kid is much sharper than anticipated; staying longer might expose him, Kato Bear didn't care about anything else, he stood to leave.

As for whether Xu Fan would drink the glass, he wouldn't be able to witness it personally.

"Alright, then Brother Kato, I won't see you off."

After exchanging pleasantries with Kato Bear, Xu Fan quickly saw them off.

Closing the door to the guest room, Xu Fan sat back at the table and picked up a glass of wine.

His eyes slightly squinted, and a golden flash sparked in his pupils.

"This?"

His gaze fell upon the wine glass, and after examining it briefly, a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

Xu Fan's mouth curled up in a smile.

"This matter is becoming more interesting."
