Chapter 2764

Half a day later, a group of people huddled together in the corner, their faces all pale. Chen Qian and another female elder were even shivering.

Yang Kai looked at the beautiful figure dancing lightly like a sprite in the great hall, holding an Emperor Treasure long sword, with a horrified expression on his face. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, “What’s going on here?”

That figure was dodging and swaying, on the verge of falling, carrying a wine jug in hand, with both eyes bloodshot, from time to time taking a swig by itself, shouting ‘Good wine!’, and when drinking to a wonderful point, even unable to contain the emotion, a long sword shaking out blossoming sword flowers, with cold light spreading wantonly.

Di Rong said hoarsely： “Junior Brother Yang, you entered the sect relatively late. I’m afraid you don’t know the three taboos of our Divine Hall. I didn’t expect to see one on the first day of becoming an elder. It’s really… gratifying and congratulatory.”

Yang Kai was stunned and said： “Three taboos？ Which three taboos？”

Chen Qian said in a low voice： “The birthday of the Palace Master, Senior Brother Qiu getting angry, and… Senior Sister Gao drinking！”

“What kind of taboos are these？” Yang Kai looked surprised. Looking at the person in front again, he only felt that the noble and holy image of this woman in his mind had collapsed completely and disappeared without a trace. Now this woman was simply a female lunatic. Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he said： “Why does Senior Sister Gao seem to have changed into a different person after drinking？ Could it be that she has been seized by some evil person？”

“It’s not that serious…” You Kun quickly waved his hand and said with a strange expression： “It’s just that Senior Sister Gao… she is born unable to drink alcohol.”

“Surely not？ After all, Senior Sister Gao is also a Second-Order Emperor Senior. Even the most powerful spiritual wine can be easily resolved by mobilizing the Emperor Yuan. How did it evolve into this situation？”

Chen Qian sighed and said, “It’s all because of our Palace Master.”

“What does it have to do with the Palace Master？” Yang Kai was extremely surprised, feeling that what he saw today had even subverted his three views.

Chen Qian said, “Senior Sister Gao was raised by the Palace Master since childhood. You should know about this, right？”

“Well, I’ve heard about it faintly.” Yang Kai nodded.

Chen Qian showed a sorrowful expression and then continued, “When Senior Sister Gao was young, the Palace Master would force her to drink. She would get drunk every time she drank, and as a result, one time she drank too much and went crazy for several days and nights without recovering. Since then, once Senior Sister Gao touches alcohol, she will be like this.”

In just a few words, the tragic childhood life of Gao Xueting was outlined, which really made those who heard it sad and those who listened shed tears.

“Simply… heartless！ Disgusting！” Yang Kai angrily spat and cursed. These words aroused a resonance among the elders, who nodded one after another, and the contempt for that Palace Master in their eyes was undisguised.

After being stunned for a moment, Yang Kai said, “Since she can’t drink alcohol, she herself should know it. Where did she get so much spiritual wine…” While speaking, Yang Kai smelled a mouthful of the aroma of wine and praised, “This is still spiritual wine that has been sealed and brewed for hundreds of years. Tsk tsk, it’s just wasted like this.”

“Who knows where she got it from？” Chen Qian was almost crying. “Maybe she’s in a good mood these days？ She even came to my Xiaoquan Peak and chatted with me for most of the night before going back yesterday.”

Another female elder answered, “She came to see me in the middle of the night…”

Yang Kai sighed and said, “Now that it’s like this, what should we do？ When will she stop going crazy？”

Chen Qian said, “It’ll be fine when she finishes drinking the wine.”

Yang Kai swept his eyes and said with a headache, “There are still a hundred jars here. When will she finish drinking？ At her speed, it will take at least a few days and nights.”

“There is no other way.” Chen Qian shook her head.

Yang Kai pondered for a while, and a resolute look flashed across his face. He stood up.

“Junior Brother Yang, what are you doing?” You Kun was shocked.

“Drink with her. The sooner we finish drinking the wine, the sooner it’ll be over.” As he spoke, he strode forward. Even if there are thousands of people, I will go！”

The elders immediately showed a look of admiration. Looking at his back, they were amazed for a moment.

“So young…” Di Rong shook his head and sighed.

“Stop talking nonsense. While Junior Brother Yang is holding her back, let’s go quickly.” You Kun winked at everyone. He took a look at Yang Kai who was suddenly hugged around the neck by Gao Xueting and had his mouth pried open and wine poured down his throat, and immediately looked away, unable to bear to look anymore.

Junior brother, we will remember your kindness. There will definitely be a generous reward in the future！

Everyone understood instantly, and they all held their breath, tiptoed, and walked out quietly.

Just as they reached the door of the main hall, a flash of light suddenly slashed over, flying past You Kun’s cheek who was in the lead. A few strands of black hair were cut off and fluttered in the air. The ground was plowed out with a deep gully. If it weren’t used for the array protecting this place I’m afraid this blow would have made the main hall collapse.

“Want to leave?” Gao Xueting’s face was icy cold, like the bitter wind blowing from the netherworld. Even the air seemed to freeze. The cold voice echoed in everyone’s ears, making everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar and their bodies were cold. “Take one more step and let me see?”

Chen Qian looked at Gao Xueting pitifully and said in a low voice, “Senior sister Gao, you’re drunk…”

Gao Xueting threw Yang Kai away, her figure swayed, and she suddenly appeared at the gate blocking the way. The long sword in her hand slashed down, and she looked at Chen Qian with a menacing look: “Where am I drunk?”

“You you… I…” Chen Qian was at a loss what to do. The dignified Emperor Venerable Realm at this moment was like a mouse seeing a cat, and couldn’t even say a complete sentence.

“Stop talking nonsense, come and drink!” Gao Xueting hugged Chen Qian, clamp her neck in her arm, and grab the wine jar and poured it into her mouth.

Chen Qian had only taken a few sips when she couldn’t help but spray it out. The wine dripped down her slender neck, wetting her clothes, and her gentle and demure image as a small jasper was completely gone…

After finishing a jar of wine, Gao Xueting finally let go of Chen Qian, discarding her like a worn-out shoe. The latter immediately slumped to the ground like soft mud, pounding her chest with her hands, coughing continuously, and her face turning bright red.

“Hahaha！” Gao Xueting laughed heartily, her mood seemingly extremely wonderful. Her beautiful eyes turned and fixed on You Kun.

You Kun immediately jumped up, reached out and grabbed a jar of wine in his hand, and said hastily, “Junior Sister Gao, don’t bother. I’ll do it myself, Senior Brother.”

After speaking, he raised his head and drank, looking extremely heroic.

Only then did Gao Xueting show a satisfied expression, and her beautiful eyes turned again.

All the elders she stared at looked as if they had lost their parents, and quickly took the fine wine by themselves and drank it.

Gao Xueting laughed sinisterly, completely losing her mind. She shook her long sword again and danced a sword dance in the main hall. For a while, the sword qi flew horizontally, and Yang Kai and the others fled in a panic.

“Junior Brother Yang…” Chen Qian finally managed to catch her breath, and then wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand and kindly reminded, “Don’t use your cultivation to resolve the drunkenness, otherwise…”

“Otherwise what？” Yang Kai asked in horror.

The question was a bit late. Gao Xueting suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost. She reached out and grabbed his collar, lifted him up like a chick, and said in a cold voice, “You brat, you’re not being honest. How dare you cheat？”

As she spoke, the long sword in her hand trembled and pointed over, as if it could come off at any time.

Yang Kai’s face turned pale, he clamped his legs, and exclaimed, “Senior Sister Gao, please show mercy.”

“Hmph, you want me to show mercy？” Gao Xueting snorted, looked Yang Kai up and down, and nodded. “It’s easy.”

With a flick and a shake of the long sword, a jar of spiritual wine appeared on the tip of the sword and was steadily delivered in front of Yang Kai.

Yang Kai suddenly showed a bitter expression, but under the gaze of Gao Xueting’s intimidating eyes, he could only grit his teeth and pick up the wine jar.

Guzzle it down！

“Good, good, good！” Gao Xueting clapped her hands and jumped up and down, with a happy expression on her face, like a little girl who got a new toy. After Yang Kai finished drinking, another jar of wine was delivered in front of him.

Yang Kai looked at her with a resentful expression.

“Drink or not？” Gao Xueting’s face suddenly turned cold.

“Drink, drink, drink, drink…” Yang Kai stared at the long sword across his crotch and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

After drinking thirteen jars of several-hundred-year-old sealed spirit wine in a row, Yang Kai hiccuped, his figure swayed, and under the sympathetic gaze of many elders, he struggled to open his mouth and said, “Fellow senior brothers and sisters… little brother will take his leave first!

As soon as the words fell, he fell backwards.

“Useless！” Gao Xueting unceremoniously kicked Yang Kai, sneered, then her body tilted and she leaned against Yang Kai, using him as a cushion, hugging the wine jar with both hands and opening her mouth to pour.

The clear, mellow, and strong wine turned into a rain of arrows and was drunk clean in three to five breaths.

With Yang Kai as a precedent, many elders don’t dare to hesitate any longer and each hugged a jar of fine wine and started to drink. For a while the entire great hall was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, as if the Qingyang Temple was going to be wiped out by others.

The spirit wine had great alcohol strength and couldn’t use cultivation to resolve the drunkenness. Even the Emperor Venerables couldn’t stand this way of drinking.

After a while, Chen Qian couldn’t hold on anymore. She only felt that the entire world was shaking, as if several mountains were pressing on her eyelids and she couldn’t open them no matter what. Her body tilted and she lay on the ground and fell asleep.

After a while, another female elder followed suit.

You Kun and Di Rong were successively lay down.

After a little more than half a day, there was a sound of snoring in the main hall. The elders of the Qingyang Temple were lying on the ground in all directions. If others saw this scene, they would probably be greatly surprised.

The lofty Emperor Venerable Realm cultivators, when had they ever been so out of control, and not just one or two, but in groups.

Only Gao Xueting alone persevered in fighting against those fine wines.

It was not until she finished the last altar that she smacked her lips and her body went limp and she fell down.

……

“In broad daylight, you actually gather together to drink heavily. What kind of conduct is this！” On Lingyu Peak, the deputy hall master Qiu Ran slapped the table loudly, his beard fluttering in anger. In front of him, a group of Qingyang Temple elders all had their eyebrows lowered and their expressions were awkward.

“You are all elders of the temple, each holding an important position and being the mainstay of the temple. If there were strong enemies attacking yesterday, what would happen to the thousands of years of foundation of our temple？” Qiu Ran was so angry that his spittle flew.

“Senior brother, we know we were wrong.” Gao Xueting lowered her head and readily admitted her mistake.

“You know you were wrong?” Qiu Ran was even more furious and glared at Gao Xueting and shouted, “Just a word of knowing you were wrong is enough?”
