Chapter 268 Pre-race Evaluation Turmoil 2_1
Lu Zhengchen didn’t even look at the two arch-enemies; he simply placed the wine case in front of Sheng Jingtong.
He first carefully untied the packaging cord, then cautiously took out a bottle of Spiritual Wine that bore the eminent mark of Tianji Pavilion.
Cradling the Spiritual Wine in his hands, he happily said to Sheng Jingtong and the few judges who gathered around, "This is the Spiritual Wine from the Hidden Faction, Tianji Pavilion. Everyone, no matter how much I praise this Spiritual Wine, you might not believe me. It’s better to let you taste a few sips yourselves. Come, quickly bring your cups over. Each person gets to taste one cup. Mind you, there is only enough for one cup per person—none spare!"
Some judges on good terms with Lu Zhengchen laughed and teased him upon hearing this, "Old Lu, aren’t you being a bit stingy? Just one cup? What can we discern from that? At the very least, each person should get a whole bottle, shouldn’t they?"
Lu Zhengchen chuckled lightly, "A whole bottle for each person? Do you know how much one bottle of this wine costs? A single cup is worth a hundred thousand! The key point is, even if you’re willing to pay a hundred thousand for a cup, there’s still no one who would sell it to you!"
Cai Yuanman chuckled upon hearing this, "Old Lu, isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration? A hundred thousand for a cup of wine? Hahaha, if it were really worth that much, this wine would be famous and making a fortune by now. Why bother bringing it here for a competition?"
Seeing it was Cai Yuanman causing trouble again, Sheng Jingtong’s face darkened immediately, "Since you, Cai Yuanman, look down on this wine so much, fine, you don’t have to drink it later. I’ll drink your share!"
When Cai Yuanman heard Sheng Jingtong say that, he quickly offered an apologetic smile, "Chairman, I was just talking; don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I will drink it later!"
Sheng Jingtong gave a cold smile, "You don’t need to feel so wronged. I will drink for you, and that’s settled."
He then looked at the others, "Does anyone else not want to drink this wine? Speak up, and I will drink for all of you!"
