Chapter 823 Trouble Comes Knocking

I screwed up, I told the truth!

I turned back to see a bunch of bluish eyes staring at me like hungry wolves, ready to devour me. I wanted to run, but Ye Yang grabbed me and pulled me back. "This is an emergency, no fighting! Just remember it for now!"

A group of girls pulled out their notebooks and started taking notes, and my heart sank.

Wang the Butcher thought for a long time. "No, Li Po's head isn't focused on meeting the father-in-law. Old Liu, analyze all the possibilities, write them down, and make Li Po memorize them!"

"Li Po's memory is quite good, he should be able to memorize it quickly."

"Feng Ruoxing, Yun Chang, teach Li Po all kinds of etiquette, traditional and foreign, so he looks like a gentleman."

"Nie Xiaochun, Qin Xin, you two hurry up and decorate. It doesn't have to be too grand, but it must be formal."

"Xiao Ying, help analyze the personality of Old Man Xiao. Ye Yang, Lin Zhao, you two are responsible for figuring out how Li Po should respond, making sure he stays true to himself, no acting, or he won't fool the old man."

"I'll take care of the banquet. Everyone to your stations, we must get this done in the shortest time possible."

The Liangjie Hall was in chaos!

No, it seemed like I was the only one in chaos.

I practiced smiling politely in the mirror for half an hour, my face cramping up. When I looked in the mirror, I thought I had a stroke, I looked so stupid.

I didn't remember anything Yun Chang and the others taught me.

Can you create a gentleman with a crash course?

That's a habit developed over years!

Take sitting, for example. My nine masters didn't teach me any polite posture, but how to draw a knife easily, how to strike with a hidden hand smoothly. Don't expect me to change in a few hours.

I wanted to switch places with Ye Yang several times. That guy was definitely good at this. Wherever he went, as long as he didn't draw his sword, everyone would think he was a nobleman.

Ye Yang wouldn't agree no matter what!

In the end, I came up with my own plan.

That was to say less nonsense, start the banquet quickly, and then use the strength of a Northeasterner, which is "no wine cups, no glasses, just drink straight from the bottle after serving small bowls."

I didn't believe I couldn't outdrink an old man. Once I got him drunk, how could he be embarrassed to come to my door?

That's settled!

In fact, that's what I did after Xiao Jingshan arrived.

After two cups of wine, I saw Xiao Jingshan swaying in his seat.

That meant he was almost there!

A few more rounds and I could take him down!

Under the murderous gazes of a group of girls, I replaced the wine glass with a rice bowl and filled it for Xiao Jingshan.

But I later learned that Xiao Jingshan was one of the legendary four un-offendable people at the dinner table, the "tumbler"!

The "tumbler" refers to someone who sways after one cup, sways after a case, and no matter how much they sway, they never fall, until everyone at the table is swayed down, and they're still swaying.

Anyone who thinks the "tumbler" is almost done and wants to give him the final blow will always end up saving the last cup for themselves, because you can't touch the other person's bottom line.

In order to prevent Xiao Jingshan from thinking I was being slippery, I didn't use my power to force the wine out.

After five or six bowls of wine, Xiao Jingshan and I were sitting together with our arms around each other's shoulders, guaranteeing with a pat on the chest: "Brother, don't worry, from now on, your daughter is my daughter. If anyone dares to bully her, I'll chop him up."

"Buddy, you're a real man! Cheers!" Xiao Jingshan picked up the wine bowl and clinked it with mine. "Daughter, come and pour wine for your Uncle Li!"

In the end, I don't know how I got back to my room. Anyway, the next day, when Feng Ruoxing played the video for me on her phone, I was too ashamed to face anyone.

Xiao Jingshan also seemed too ashamed to face anyone. After he left, he never came back, leaving his daughter in my Liangjie Hall.

I simply said I was going into seclusion and hid in my room for a week.

That day, I was sitting in my room wondering if those immoral girls should forget about what happened at the dinner table.

Old Liu came to my door. "Master, people from the Reincarnation Division are here, saying they want to see you."

"See me?" Although I didn't know what the Reincarnation Division wanted, I knew that their arrival couldn't be good.

When I arrived at the reception hall, Feng Ruoxing and the others had already arrived and were sitting face to face with the people from the Reincarnation Division.

No one was speaking on either side. It didn't look like they were meeting as guests, but rather like swords were about to be drawn.

A total of five people from the Reincarnation Division had come. The leader looked quite imposing. Judging from his appearance, he didn't look like someone from the martial world, but more like someone from the officialdom.

As soon as he saw me, he stood up with a friendly expression. "This must be Hall Master Li! Truly, a hero emerges at a young age! Hall Master Li is so young and has already achieved so much, it truly makes Cai envious!"

"I am Cai Wenyan, the head of the External Affairs Hall of the Reincarnation Division. Greetings, Hall Master Li."

His amiable manner made me even more cautious.

The truly terrifying people in the martial world are not the tigers descending from the mountains, but the smiling tigers.

These people are friendly to everyone, greeting everyone with a smile, even if you are just a follower brought by someone else, they can call you brother and even put their arms around your shoulders, with no airs of a big shot at all.

But you never know when they will put away their smiles and reach for their swords.
