Unsheathed

Song Fengshan didn't drink much, and Liu Qian only drank a single cup of wine as a token gesture.

The two pots of wine that the villa had made by itself and aged for five years were all drunk up by Song Yushao and Chen Ping'an.

Upon hearing that Chen Ping'an planned to leave in two days, Song Yushao waved a hand and instructed, "Bring two more pots of wine over! If this young boy is able to out-drink me, then I'll allow him to immediately piss off after drinking to say nothing of waiting for two days."

Liu Qian didn't hesitate at all as she stood up to grab two pots of wine.

Chen Ping'an felt slightly helpless, and he relented, "Then I'll leave in three days. I genuinely have matters to attend to, Senior Song, and I need to board an intercontinental ship heading to the Northern Complete Reed Continent. If I miss this intercontinental ship, then I'll be forced to wait for at least one more month."

Song Yushao glared at him and exclaimed, "Then why don't you leave right now, huh? You can't even delay things for one or two days? Am I, Song Yushao, too unimportant, or are you, Chen Ping'an, too important nowadays?"

"People all say that the honor of the cultivation world becomes most evident when persuading each other to drink," Chen Ping'an mumbled.

Song Yushao smacked the table and scolded, "Shut up and drink your wine! Always whining about this and that... If you ask me, I'd say that young girl has bad eyesight and observation skills, or else how could she have become attracted to a man like you, someone who remains hesitant and indecisive even after drinking wine?! What's wrong, have the two of you split up already?"

Chen Ping'an's mood improved greatly upon hearing this, and a bright glimmer appeared in his eyes as he spoke with confidence and vigor. However, he was slightly tongue-tied as he talked, and he retorted, "Let's drink, let's drink. Me? Afraid of you? You truly screwed me over back then, Senior Song! You scared me half-dead with your remark back then, but it thankfully didn't matter in the end... Here, here, here, let's drink this bowl of wine before I continue. To tell you the truth, Senior Song, your ability to hold alcohol has gotten worse over time. How many bowls have you had? Yet, look at how flushed your cheeks have already become. It's as if you've put on some rouge..."

Song Yushao was infuriated upon hearing this, and he challenged, "If you're so capable, then let's see you drink without your hand shaking the entire time! Hold your bowl steady, or else you're losing a drop of friendship with each drop of wine that you dare to spill!"

Song Fengshan and Liu Qian were secretly enjoying the show. Chen Ping'an was still young, after all, and he wasn't familiar with the ability of the older generation to persuade others to drink. They had a myriad of methods that were incredibly difficult to guard against.
