Chapter 256 It smells so good
"Brother Ruotuo...uh, sister? Sister?"
After whispering, Zuo Xi, who received a blank stare from Zhong Li, returned with satisfaction to Yi Long and Yi He. While he was whispering to Zhongli just now, Liu Yun had already appeared in human form, and now the person standing in front of several people was the intellectual female monk wearing glasses.
The three stone chairs became five, and a bottle of wine was placed on the previous stone table at some point. The wine is fragrant and has a long aftertaste, and there is an unspeakable aroma in it, which makes the person who smells it exude a sense of transparency and warmth from the limbs and bones. Even before tasting it, Zuo Xi could tell that this was a fine pot of fairy brew.
It is not enough to say that this thing is hard to find. This wine is not something that should be found in the world. Only those who have a strong affinity with immortals have the opportunity to taste it.
"Brother Zuo has been very kind to me in saving my life. You can call me whatever you want."
The crispy loli voice came from Ruo Tuo's mouth, and it was really cute to match his current image of being young and weak, yet heroic. For a moment, people forgot that the little loli in front of them was actually an old man before.
If it weren't for Zuo Xi's amazing self-control, his hands would have stopped on the opponent's pair of dragon horns by now.
"Stop chatting now, sit down. If anything happens, we'll talk about it over the wine table."
After hearing Liu Yun's words, Zuo Xi's soul of complaining burned again. Co-authored: Whether you are in Liyue Port or in this cloudless place, you all like to talk at the dinner table, right? Can't we just eat and drink enough before we talk slowly?
……
After three drinks, Zuo Xi was already a little tipsy. The power of this immortal wine is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary wine, even Zuo Xi's ability to drink is somewhat overwhelming.
Fortunately, he had good self-control and did not drink too much because of the fine wine. The consciousness at this moment is still very clear.
"Mr. Zuo Xi's mortal body cannot withstand the power of this immortal wine. This was an oversight on my part."
The three of them saw that Zuo Xi's face was slightly red, and after they looked at each other, Liu Yun opened his mouth to express his apology. According to what the emperor said, Mr. Zuo Xi has a very good drinking capacity. That's why she took out this jug of wine that she had treasured for many years. But she ignored the influence of the immortal power in it.
"It doesn't matter...Brother Zhongli, just tell me if you have anything important to do."
Although Zuo Xi was slightly tipsy, he still remembered the original intention of him and Zhong Li coming here. When the other party asked him to move to Jueyunjian, it was definitely not just to express his gratitude and invite him to drink.
"So, let me make it clear. This time I invite Brother Zuo to come here for three things. The first is to express my gratitude and take Brother Zuo to meet Ruo Tuo."
Zuo Xi had already started asking questions, and after three drinks, the atmosphere had almost reached this point. Zhong Li then started to talk about business following Zuo Xi's question.
He put down his wine glass and looked at Zuo Xi first, and then turned to Ruo Tuo when he mentioned his thanks.
Ruo Tuo had already stood up when he heard Zhong Li begin to formally talk about the matter and turned his attention to himself.
She slightly cupped her hands towards Zuo Xi. Although limited by her height, she was only at the same height as the remaining people, but the serious look on her face and the meticulous solemn movements still made her overall look extremely solemn.
It can be seen from her movements and demeanor how seriously she takes this matter.
In conjunction with Ruotuo Dragon King's actions, Liu Yun and Zhong Li also took action together. Although the subject was Ruo Tuo, they did not get up together. But to express their gratitude, they both raised their wine glasses and bowed slightly in Zuo Xi's direction.
"Brother Zuo, my words of thanks for your great kindness may seem like evasion. I won't say much to express my gratitude. From now on, you will be my best friend, the person I recognize, and my eternal benefactor. Let's talk about this over a glass of wine. gratitude."
After Ruo Tuo expressed her solemn thanks, she took the lead in raising her cup to pay tribute, and Zhongli and Liu Yun also raised their cups. Then the three of them drank the wine in the glass together.
"Actually, to save Ruo Tuo, all the immortals should be present this time. In fact, that's what they intended. But I was afraid that Brother Zuo wouldn't like such a solemn scene, so he refused one by one."
The three of them put down their wine glasses. Zhongli saw that Zuo Xi was restless in his seat, so he told him the real situation. Liuyun also took this opportunity to make appropriate supplements.
"That's right, except for Ruo Tuo and the Emperor, the rest of the Immortal Family decided by fate, and finally decided that I would be the representative."
"Decided by fate", simply put, it depends on luck. Zuo Xi guessed that it was probably some kind of advanced lottery or something like that.
Mr. Lu Xun once said that most people like to compromise. After imagining that scene, Zuo Xi instantly felt that the solemnity of the three people in front of him was nothing.
A bunch of immortals toasting themselves... This kind of scene always feels like watching others pay tribute in the spiritual tablets.
"Hahahaha...Okay, okay, but in my opinion, there's no need to thank you. Brother Zhongli, how about something practical?"
Such as the Eye of God or something like that.
"That's natural. If you invite your savior to Jueyunjian just for a few fluttering words, what's the difference between that and ungratefulness?"
Ruo Tuo smiled heartily. As Morax said, Brother Zuo's character is really awkward! Obviously he is not used to accepting gratitude from others, but he still has to pretend to be mercenary to cover up.
She, Ruo Tuo, was not a person who liked to be awkward, but she didn't find Zuo Xi's frank look annoying at all.
"...Dragon King, let's forget it. There are very few things in this world that I can't get if I want to ask for them. I will accept your offer shamelessly, but please take back this thank you gift."
Zuo Xi choked immediately. It was just a casual mention to resolve the awkward atmosphere, but I never thought that they were really prepared. It seemed that they were indeed prepared.
However, Zuo Xi was able to deal with this kind of shirk with ease. For businessmen, this kind of scene can only be said to be a common occurrence. For a politician, this scene is more like eating and drinking.
Coincidentally, Zuo Xi was involved in both.
In this case, simply rejecting the other party's good intentions is not enough. On the contrary, it will make the other party think you are hypocritical and dislike the fact that they give you less.
The normal approach is to accept it generously and then return a more valuable gift. In this way, the problem is thrown to the other side.
Or you can politely refuse, then tease him by mentioning something that the other party cannot give, and finally symbolically take something as a "token" as a symbol of favor.
What a coincidence, Zuo Xi just wanted to make them feel that he was disgusting, so he simply refused without any follow-up remedial measures.
Don't ask why, asking is arrogance and ruining your life.
"Brother Zuo, don't be in a hurry to refuse. I heard Morax said that you have always wanted to have your own God's Eye. If this is true, my gift will surely satisfy you."
He is worthy of being a Dragon King who has lived for an unknown number of years. Even though his spiritual intelligence has not been restored for a long time, and even if he doesn't like this method, he is still very proficient in all aspects of kung fu.
She had long expected that Zuo Xi would refuse, so what she prepared was naturally what he had always wanted. She didn't have the Heart of God, but he had some ideas for this object that could replace the Eye of God.
really……
