"How do you feel?" Ye Xiao reached out to support Jiang Miaoke's arm.

Jiang Miaoke immediately pushed Ye Xiao's arm away, proudly declaring, "Hmph, I'm fine. Don't you know my nickname? 'The Drinking Immortal!'"

The Drinking Immortal?

Upon hearing Jiang Miaoke's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but purse his lips. Looking at Jiang Miaoke's staggering figure, he thought to himself that she seemed more like a 'Drinking Ghost' than a Drinking Immortal. Of course, he dared not say it out loud.

"Qi Xin, how did you get here?" Ye Xiao asked, turning to Qi Xin.

Qi Xin didn't know why Ye Xiao was asking this, but answered seriously, "I came in someone else's car, why?"

"Can you drive?" Ye Xiao asked while supporting Jiang Miaoke.

"Pretty well, why? You want me to take Coco home?" Qi Xin said.

Ye Xiao chuckled and replied, "Smart."

"Didn't you say you were going out to eat?"

"I was planning to go eat, but you see, Coco is so… so lucid, so, hehe!"

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Qi Xin immediately understood. It turned out that Ye Xiao insisted on going out to eat because he wanted to send Jiang Miaoke home as soon as possible.

"You're really considerate. But why should I take her home when it was your alcohol that got Coco drunk? Besides, you two came together," Qi Xin said with a smile.

Ye Xiao nodded, smiling as he said, "Of course, I'll drive. However, when we're about to reach the Jiang family home, I hope you can take over driving."

"What do you mean? You don't want the Jiang family to see you?" Qi Xin immediately looked at Ye Xiao with confusion.

Ye Xiao replied with a chuckle, "After drinking the Seven-Colored Divine Dragon, she'll only get drunker. She might pass out before we even get there. It wouldn't leave a good impression if the Jiang family knew I was the one who mixed her drink."

"Please, I thought you were a responsible man. I didn't expect this. But, speaking of which, were you a bartender before?" Qi Xin asked out of curiosity. He was incredibly curious throughout; he had never expected Ye Xiao to not only be able to fight Wu Pinliang but also outdo Hai Bo in mixing drinks, and even sing so passionately. He started to wonder if Ye Xiao was a young master from some influential family. However, he hadn't heard of any well-off Ye families in Bird City.

Ye Xiao simply told the truth, "This is my first time mixing a drink."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" When Qi Xin heard Ye Xiao's response, he immediately thought Ye Xiao was intentionally deceiving him, he gave Ye Xiao a disdainful look and said, "If you don't want to tell, then don't."

Ye Xiao laughed bitterly upon hearing Qi Xin's words. He was telling the truth, but to Qi Xin, it appeared false. Nonetheless, Ye Xiao was laid-back and couldn't be bothered to explain any further.

Just then, Jiang Miaoke, being supported by Ye Xiao, stumbled and nearly fell. However, Ye Xiao quickly caught her by her slender waist and smiled at Qi Xin.

Qi Xin also realized that the large cup of drink had indeed been a substantial amount and that the alcohol's power was immediately evident as a light breeze blew on them after they had exited Black Mood.

Qi Xin supported Jiang Miaoke and said to Ye Xiao, "I'll do as you say."

Ye Xiao then unlocked the Porsche with his remote key, and with Qi Xin's help, they got Jiang Miaoke into the car.

Qi Xin stayed with Jiang Miaoke in the back seat; after all, it was more helpful for supporting her.

Ye Xiao was well aware of the potency of the Seven-Colored Divine Dragon drink. He had drunk it before and knew its effects were fast-acting, which was why he insisted on going out to eat—eating was a pretext, the real reason was to get away from there as soon as possible.

Ye Xiao also didn't want a great beauty like Jiang Miaoke to embarrass herself, so it was better for them to leave early.

Having already visited the Jiang family home, he found the route familiar. However, as night fell and the city had truly begun to bustle, they encountered quite a bit of traffic.

"Ye Xiao!" Suddenly, Qi Xin's voice came from the backseat, and Jiang Miaoke beside him was sound asleep.

"What's up?" Ye Xiao asked while driving, taking a quick glance at Qi Xin in the rearview mirror.

"I think I heard you talking with Hai Bo about master and disciple stuff. Does Hai Bo want to become your apprentice?" Qi Xin inquired.

"Are your ears that sharp?" Ye Xiao replied with a smile, "Yes."

"Are you Hai Bo's master now?" Qi Xin asked curiously.

Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "No, I'm not his master, and I can't teach him."

In fact, Ye Xiao was not stingy and was completely willing to impart the Nine Dragons Pearls' brewing method to Hai Bo, but he still decided against it, for a simple reason: brewing Nine Dragons Pearls was not something an ordinary person could do. To brew Nine Dragons Pearls, one must first be a Martial Artist, and to brew a perfect cup of Nine Dragons Pearls, one had to be a Xuan Rank expert. Since Hai Bo was just an ordinary person, how could he possibly brew the exquisite Nine Dragons Pearls?

Hai Bo knew that in the entire Yan Country, there were only three people who could brew Nine Dragons Pearls, and that was true. However, those three people were all Martial Artists. The limit that ordinary people could brew was the Seven-Colored Divine Dragon. If we're talking about ordinary people, Hai Bo was already a top-notch bartender.

Although Hai Bo's bartending skills were incredibly strong, there was one thing about the Nine Dragons Pearls, that swirling motion, that required Inner Strength to facilitate. It would keep swirling only under the influence of Inner Strength.

But how could Qi Xin possibly understand what was going on? So, he immediately frowned and said to Ye Xiao, "I still understand Hai Bo. He is someone who never speaks unless spoken to. Now he's asking to be your disciple, and you're still not accepting him."

"What kind of person he is, is his business. What does it have to do with me?" Ye Xiao said with a smile. "Moreover, even if I taught him, he wouldn't be able to learn. Why bother?"

Qi Xin said, "You still look down on people a bit, but do you know who you offended today? In the future, you will have some trouble to deal with."

"Oh?" Ye Xiao chuckled upon hearing Qi Xin's words. "Feng Hai, he must be someone from the Feng family, right? And, I heard he probably doesn't practice martial arts; why should I be afraid of him?"

"But the Feng family behind him is not easy to deal with either. However, luckily for you, the elders of the Feng family are quite reasonable. Since you are Coco's friend, I believe they won't give you a hard time. However, Feng Hai's brother definitely won't let you off so easily," Qi Xin said, with a hint of mockery.

Hearing Qi Xin's words, Ye Xiao found it even more amusing and was even more curious. He really wanted to know who this brother of Feng Hai was.

Ye Xiao didn't say anything, but the smile on his face told Qi Xin that he was disdainful.

"Just you wait. Sometimes, not everything can be solved with fists and feet, and besides, there are plenty of people who are stronger than you," Qi Xin said.

Ye Xiao listened to Qi Xin's words and couldn't help but wonder to himself. Was Qi Xin saying all this with some ulterior motive?

However, in Ye Xiao's view, apart from a bit of trouble, there seemed to be nothing else to worry about. Today, he had only caused Feng Hai to lose some face, and he had even castrated Zhao Pu, the young master of the Zhao family. Such a big deal had also blown over, hadn't it? At least, no one had come to trouble him yet.

The car sped along, and since they were already in Central District, the journey to the Jiang Family's estate was even quicker. In no time, they were almost there.

From a distance, Ye Xiao saw a large estate – that was the Jiang Family's estate. At this moment, the Porsche was only two or three kilometers away from the Jiang Family's estate.

"How is Coco doing?" Ye Xiao turned to look over.

Qi Xin looked at Jiang Miaoke and said with a bitter smile, "Drunk as a lord. It's strange, this Nine Dragons Pearls really packs a punch."

Hearing Qi Xin's words, Ye Xiao let out a wry smile. The Nine Dragons Pearls contained a mix of several strong liquors. Although it was only a flute, its potency was even greater than that of a kilogram of sorghum liquor.

Ye Xiao chuckled and did not explain further but said, "Alright, it's time to switch off."

Qi Xin looked around. They were still far from the city. If Ye Xiao got out here, was he planning to walk back? This road led directly to the Jiang Family's estate, so there were no pedestrians or vehicles on the dark road.

"You sure you want to get out here?" Qi Xin asked.

"Of course," Ye Xiao replied. "There's a Jiang Family checkpoint up ahead. If I drive any further, someone will definitely notice, and then they'll know it was me who brought you back, won't they?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Qi Xin was slightly surprised. Every major family had outposts around them, but usually, ordinary people couldn't see them, nor knew where they were. And now, in the pitch darkness ahead, Ye Xiao could still detect there was a checkpoint.

"Alright then," Qi Xin said, no longer pondering the matter. He got out of the back seat and then moved to the driver's seat.

"Goodbye!" Ye Xiao waved his hand, making a move to leave.

"Wait!" Qi Xin called out.

Ye Xiao, surprised, turned his head towards Qi Xin and smiled, "What?

Are you Coco's boyfriend?" Qi Xin looked at Ye Xiao and asked.

"Heh, you'll have to ask Coco if she's my girlfriend. Goodbye!" Ye Xiao spoke and then walked straight towards the city.

Qi Xin watched Ye Xiao through the rearview mirror, shook his head slightly, and then drove forward. However, just a few seconds after starting, when he looked at the rearview mirror again, he couldn't find Ye Xiao there anymore.

"Where is he?" Qi Xin murmured, filled with immense confusion. After all, this was the only road leading to the city. If Ye Xiao didn't take this road, which one could he possibly take?
