Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 416 A Cup Of Poisoned Wine

Celebration banquet, Lu Yu had to attend.

Although he has now reached the Gold Core stage, aren't those elders from the Greedy Wolf Hall all old folks at the Gold Core stage?

These guys have been in the Gold Core stage for a long time, and almost everyone has their own trump cards.

Want to escape from under their noses? Very difficult.

Moreover, Lu Yu has now discovered that there are a few pairs of eyes watching him at his doorstep.

He doesn't know where these guys are hiding, but that feeling of being spied on cannot be deceived.

Obviously, these old folks have set their sights on him.

So if he wants to escape, he needs to find an opportunity.

After resting at home for a day, Lu Yu reluctantly came to the Immortal Fate Restaurant with Ling Tianxin.

The Immortal Fate Restaurant is the best restaurant in Wansheng City, without a doubt.

It is said that there is a room here specifically for entertaining Void God stage powerhouses, and the chefs inside are all at the Gold Core stage or above.

Of course, Lu Yu and the others definitely cannot go to that VIP room for the Void God stage, so the celebration banquet is held in the Gold Core room.

Even though it's a Gold Core room, it is still one of the top rooms in the Immortal Fate Restaurant.

As soon as Lu Yu and the others entered the restaurant, they were politely led to a private room on the third floor by the waiter.

As soon as Lu Yu entered the restaurant, he released his divine sense.

But as soon as his divine sense was released, he felt a chill all over his body.

It seems that many cultivators have tried this before, so the waiter is quite familiar with his action.

"Esteemed guest, when our restaurant was built, we used some Ice Frost Grass, which can block divine sense probing. So drinking in our restaurant is the safest option."

"Ice Frost Grass? No wonder."

After listening to the waiter's explanation, Lu Yu understood after thinking for a moment. Ice Frost Grass does indeed have this effect, and forcibly probing with divine sense would likely result in backlash.

It seems that this restaurant does have some tricks up its sleeve.

But because he can't use divine sense to probe, he can only be more careful.

Of course, if those elders from the Greedy Wolf Hall insist on causing a disturbance in public, he can only endure it.

The waiter opened the private room, and as soon as Lu Yu stuck his head in, he found that there were only the Second Elder and an unfamiliar elder inside.

"Hello, two elders."

Lu Yu politely nodded towards them.

The Second Elder just raised his eyes to look at him, then closed them again.

"Hehe, please have a seat, two elders. The waiter can start serving the dishes."

"Huh? Aren't we celebrating together with the others? Aren't they here yet?"

Lu Yu looked surprised and asked the Second Elder.

"Sujin has been taken away for closed-door cultivation, and Third Young Master Ding lost an arm and has been sent to another city to serve as a steward. So it's just the two of you."

"Elder Ma, please arrange the dishes. The sooner we finish eating, the sooner we can end the celebration."

The Second Elder looked at Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin sitting down, and instructed Elder Ma next to him.

"Alright. Hehe, Lu Yu, you don't know, Second Elder is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He spared no expense to celebrate for you this time. There's a lot of spirit beast meat prepared. Eat and drink more later..."

Elder Ma had a simple and honest appearance, coupled with a smiling face that made it difficult for people to have any guarded thoughts towards him.

Ling Tianxin, on the other hand, sat quietly like a lady.

Because they were well-prepared, the food and drinks were quickly served.

As expected, as Elder Ma had said, a large amount of delicious food was prepared to entertain Lu Yu and the others.

After all the dishes were served, Elder Ma personally poured wine for Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin, then raised his wine cup.

"Elder Ma, I haven't been feeling well these past two days. Can I have tea instead of wine?"

Ling Tianxin lifted his wine glass and instinctively held his stomach as he asked, "Haha, little girl shouldn't be drinking alcohol. Let's have tea instead. Since it's a celebration banquet for you heroes, you can have whatever you want."

Elder Ma laughed and said, "Ling Tianxin, give me a sweet smile." He then took a cup of tea from the side.

"In that case, I'll toast Elder Er and Elder Ma. Thank you for letting me taste so many delicious things. Hehe, I've never even heard of so many spirit beast meats before," Ling Tianxin said with a smile.

"As long as it's delicious. In the future, you can contribute more to the sect, and there will be plenty of rewards," Elder Ma said, raising his wine glass.

Elder Er casually gestured beside him.

When he put down his wine glass and turned to look at Lu Yu, he found that he hadn't touched that glass of wine.

"What's wrong? Is this wine not good? Do you have the weakness of a woman?" Elder Er's words were harsh, but Lu Yu wasn't angry.

"I'm not good at drinking. But since it's a celebration banquet, there must be wine. I'll toast Elder Er," Lu Yu said.

"Hmm..." Elder Er nodded, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Lu Yu drank the wine in his cup as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual.

After he finished drinking, the banquet officially began.

Elder Ma was there to liven up the atmosphere. With him around, Elder Er didn't need to say anything. The atmosphere of the whole banquet was perfect.

After about an hour, everyone was full and satisfied.

"Alright, now that you've all eaten well, let's call it a day," Elder Er said, looking at the empty plates on the table and standing up.

"Thank you again, Elder Er and Elder Ma, for your generous hospitality. We will definitely contribute more to the sect in the future to repay the sect!" Lu Yu stood up and bowed to the two elders.

Then Elder Er and Elder Ma left the restaurant first.

After they left, Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin exchanged glances and felt that something was wrong before they even left.

Then their faces instantly changed.

"This food is poisoned... Ah!" Lu Yu screamed and fell to the ground.

Ling Tianxin wasn't any better.

Although she didn't drink alcohol, the tea had been soaked with poison beads by Elder Er.

After Lu Yu fell down, she also slowly fell onto the chair.

At this time, the waiter happened to come over to clean up the table.

When he saw Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin lying on the ground, blood flowing from the corners of their mouths, he was shocked.

"Ah... Murder, murder!" His cry instantly alarmed the entire restaurant, and the place became chaotic.

Elder Er and Elder Ma hadn't gone far yet.

Seeing the chaos above, Elder Er sneered.

"Hmph, a cup of poisoned wine solved them. These two guys got off easy."

"Hehe, Elder Er, we've avenged the hall master. I guess there will be a reward for sure."

"Forget about rewards. Let's prepare for the upcoming battle for the twin cities. I'm afraid we don't have any high-level combat power to deal with it this time."

Elder Er said as his figure disappeared at the street corner.
