Lu Li took a bath and changed into a clean robe before the banquet resumed.
Lu Li disliked this kind of banquet. That being said, he had to feign civility with Leng Wushang and the others. After being forced to drink dozens of goblets of wine, Lu Li felt dizzy.
Leng Wushang and the others were enthusiastic, but Lu Li understood that this was the second test.
They wanted to get him drunk to get some information. After all, when people were drunk, they wouldn't be able to keep their mouths shut.
They had underestimated Lu Li. Back in the days, Jiang Qiling's Bloody Rose was one of the strongest liquors of the Central Plains. Lu Li could walk back even when he was drunk.
His willpower was too strong. These young masters and young mistresses had underestimated him if they wanted to get drunk and cheat him of information.
He was good at putting on a show. His eyes were blurred as he looked at the beautiful young ladies of the Leng Family. He did not disguise his lust at all.
When he looked at Leng Wuxin and Leng Wumi, his eyes were even more aroused. Leng Wuxin was biting her teeth, trying to find a chance to torture Lu Li.
Lu Li was doing this on purpose!
He wanted the Leng Family to think that he was interested in a young lady of the Leng Family and that he was a lecher.
Only in this way could he find a chance to stay openly. His master had gone to the Prison of Darkness and was all alone. If he fell in love with a young lady of the Leng Family, he could take the opportunity to stay at the Leng Family and pursue her. Wouldn't that make sense?
Leng Wushang and the others looked at Lu Li's lecherous behavior with disdain.
The Leng Family had taught them since they were young that men were meant to accomplish great things. They could not let women ruin their plans.
That being said, Lu Li was a bumpkin who grew up in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. It was the first time he had seen so many beautiful young ladies. It was understandable that he would behave like this.
Leng Wumi and the others took Leng Wushang's hint and tried to get more information out of him. Lu Li told them everything he knew. But what he said was something he had prepared beforehand. He rarely talked about the Blood Emperor. He kept his mouth shut.
They drank until midnight. Lu Li was drunk. Leng Wushang sent someone to send him to a yard to rest while the other young ladies left.
After Lu Li left, Leng Wushang walked to the back of the hall by himself.
After passing through a dozen or so halls, he entered a grand and majestic hall and met a scholarly middle-aged man in a golden robe in a study.
The middle-aged man in the golden robe didn't look old at all. He was more like Leng Wushang's big brother. However, he was very majestic. Sitting behind the desk, he was like a beast coiled up on a mountain.
"Father!"
Leng Wushang bowed. This middle-aged man was the current Emperor of the Leng Dynasty. Of course … the Emperor did not mean that he was the head of the Leng Clan.
The patriarch of the Leng Family was Leng Wushang's grandfather, but he was not in charge of the family affairs. Leng Wushang's father, Leng Tianhen, was in charge of the family affairs.
Leng Tianhen nodded and put down a scroll. He looked at Leng Wushang and said, "What do you think?
Is there a problem? "
Leng Wushang shook his head and said, "I don't see anything wrong. Wumi and the others tried to get some information out of him, but they didn't get anything confidential.
I don't know if he is pretending to be drunk, or … he really doesn't know much. "
Leng Tianhen was silent for a while, then he said: "That divine art is very strong, I have never heard of it before. Ordinary people can't create it. The Blood Emperor likes to create all kinds of divine arts, so the possibility is very high."
"Okay ~"
Leng Wushang nodded. He thought about it and said, "I think … he is interested in Wuxin and Wumi. How about we ask them to get some information from him?"
"Sure!"
Leng Tianhen waved his hand and said decisively, "You go and make the arrangements. Before we get all the information, be nice to him.
The Blood Emperor is unruly and unruly. We will be in trouble if we offend him. "
"Okay!"
Leng Wushang nodded. Leng Tianhen watched Leng Wushang leave with satisfaction.
Leng Wushang had many sons, but he was the most satisfied with his youngest son. Leng Wushang was talented and intelligent. With proper training, he could lead the Leng Family to greater heights.
…
Lu Li fell asleep as soon as he went back. He could have forced the wine out of his mouth but he chose to have a good sleep.
To sleep soundly in a strange place would make people think that he was confident and not afraid that the Leng Family would plot against him.
He slept until late in the morning. There were maids waiting on him.
When Lu Li woke up, the maids helped him to wash up and told him that Leng Wushang had prepared a banquet at noon. He even invited young masters and young ladies from major families in the City of Leng.
Lu Li was troubled. Why didn't the banquet stop?
He had to force himself to stay awake. After he washed up, Leng Wuxin and Leng Wumi came to invite Lu Li to the banquet in person.
Leng Wuxin wore a cyan dress, looking like an aloof goddess. Leng Wumi was in a pink dress, looking like an innocent little princess.
Both of them were stunning. They floated in like two butterflies, dazzling Lu Li.
Leng Wuxin had never spoken to Lu Li alone. She didn't give him any hints. She was still acting like an aloof goddess, being reserved.
Leng Wumi was much better. She called him brother Lu and her eyes were filled with admiration and admiration. Lu Li was speechless.
Leng Wumi was 16 or 17 years old and at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm. She could reach the Human Sovereign Realm at any time. She had many treasures and she must be powerful. Yet, she was acting like a love-struck girl.
How could a young lady from a big family be so love-struck?
Lu Li wouldn't believe it even if he were an idiot. Leng Wumi must have been ordered by her family to be friendly to him so that she could get information.
The banquet at noon was boring. There were more than a hundred people. Lu Li couldn't recognize faces so he couldn't remember who was who.
Leng Wushang introduced everyone to him. Countless people toasted him and said that they had heard so much about you. Lu Li felt like throwing up. What kind of name did he have …
At noon, Lu Li was drunk again. At the end of the banquet, Leng Wushang sent Lu Li back in person.
He said that he might have to go out soon and told Lu Li to stay at the Leng Family and to ask the steward if he needed anything.
Leng Wushang told Leng Wuxin and Leng Wumi to go sightseeing with Lu Li and that he would come back after he was done with his business.
Lu Li understood. Leng Wushang was a tough guy. He had been with Lu Li twice and he didn't want to hang out with Lu Li anymore.
He told Leng Wuxin and Leng Wumi to hang out with him and that he could ask them if he needed anything. He told Lu Li to stay here and the Leng Family could support him.
Using the excuse that he was drunk, Lu Li talked to Leng Wushang with tears of gratitude.
He told Leng Wushang how hard his life was in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos and how the Leng Family was so nice to him. Leng Wushang treated him like a real brother. Lu Li was so grateful and wanted to become sworn brothers with Leng Wushang …
Leng Wushang felt like throwing up. But he pretended to be more polite. He asked Lu Li to stay at the Leng Family indefinitely until the Blood Emperor came back from the Prison of Darkness.
Even though he didn't become sworn brothers with Lu Li, Leng Wushang felt they were brothers and regretted not having met earlier …
"Okay!"
After Leng Wushang left because he couldn't stand it anymore, Lu Li lay on the bed and pretended to be asleep. He sighed to himself. From now on, he didn't have to pretend to be with Leng Wushang anymore.
He would have the chance to talk to Leng Wuxin alone. The first antidote should be given to him soon.
Lu Li had to think about what to do next.
"Should I find a chance to set Leng Wuxin up?
Should I get rid of the poison and then find a way to escape?
I don't think the Leng Family will dare to do anything to me because of the Blood Emperor. "
