Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 262 - 166: Sequence Seven, Nothing but a Pawn...
Inside the private room, the dishes haven't been served yet.
The lighting is soft, the air is refreshing.
Everyone's faces are adorned with smiles.
"...Actually, if you think about it, I could be considered your senior sister, hahaha."
At the head of the table, Su Baitao chuckled as she spoke.
The other people at the table, the freshmen of the Immortal Grass Experimental Class, all grinned back.
"Are you from West University Medical School?"
"Indeed, you are our senior sister."
"Achieving such wealth as a doctor is truly impressive!"
This group of students, all top scorers from various provinces, were dressed in sportswear, sporting buzz cuts or ponytails, still carrying remnants of their high school innocence.
Sitting in this luxurious private room, facing the radiant, majestically poised Su Baitao, they were somewhat nervous.
A few girls looked at Su Baitao's shapely figure with envy.
"Senior sister, do you often wear gloves?"
Su Baitao smiled gracefully.
"Yes.
"After all, I'm a doctor, often performing surgeries.
"These hands must be carefully protected.
"Usually, I wear silk gloves.
"In the operating room, I wear sterile medical gloves.
"Opportunities for these hands to see daylight are rare indeed."
The students glanced at Su Baitao's hands on the table, noticing her white silk gloves, snugly fitting her slender fingers, petite palms, delicate wrists, with exquisite lace trim—clearly not cheap.
"What a pity, Yang Zhan and Yang Wan couldn't come today.
"Bai Mo isn't here either.
"They missed out on the delicate abalone I've ordered today.
"We'll enjoy it, and afterward, you can tell them about the taste to tempt them."
Laughter from the students quickly filled the room.
At that moment...
Su Baitao's smile slightly froze.
Her spiritual sense was triggered, sensing a tremendous crisis in an instant!
What is happening?
She, as Sequence Seven's Talisman Master, stands at the pinnacle of the current realm—what could threaten her?
Without showing any sign, she wiped away the sweat from her forehead.
The aperture at her brow opened; her divine sense, like an invisible wind, expanded outward, instantly filling the entire private room!
Her immortal qi, beneath the floor, under the table, in unseen places, etched talismans like dragons.
The divine sense complemented the talismans, amplifying her spiritual sense and perception to the maximum!
At this moment, in this private room, her spiritual sense and perception reached the pinnacle of the human world!
She was confident that even if Wu Jianxian and the King of Darkness tried something, they couldn't escape her perception!
The students continued laughing and chatting.
"Auntie, the surgeries you've performed..."
A creak...
The door to the private room opened as a waiter pushed in a small serving cart.
On the cart were two bottles of wine and a large basin of ice cubes.
Her perception swept frantically over the waiter, the cart, each ice cube, every label on the bottles, the bottles themselves, and every drop inside!
"Oh... everything's normal.
"What was that earlier?
"Was I just overly cautious?"
The waiter set down the wine and ice cubes, ready to help pour the wine, but Su Baitao waved him away.
"No need, these are all my family's children, I'll pour the wine myself."
The waiter left, closing the door with a "bang."
Su Baitao dropped "clink clink" two ice cubes into the glass.
She "swished" and poured the wine herself.
"This wine is from my own vineyard, it's very good!
"Yang Wan always clamored to try some, but I never relented.
"Today we'll all have some, no saving any for her, hahaha."
Smiling, she poured and handed out each glass.
"Qi Fang, yours."
"Ming Xia, yours."
"Zhuzhu, yours."
...One glass after another was handed out with the students thanking her.
Su Baitao's perception and spiritual sense were maximized, yet she detected nothing unusual.
"Bocheng, this glass is yours."
She handed a glass of wine to the top scorer from Tian Nan Province, Wan Bocheng.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
There was little wine left in the bottle.
"Ah, perfect timing, the last glass is mine."
She cheerfully dropped two ice cubes "clink clink" into her glass.
Then poured the last of the wine in.
...Nothing happened, had she been overly cautious?
At that moment, her almond-shaped eyes widened!
The wine poured into the glass met the ice cubes, and unexpectedly, wine-red smoke began to rise!
This smoke, like haze or fire, billowed from the glass, jumping and spreading to fill the room!
With the scent of grapes and the slight bitterness of wine, it quickly saturated the space!
What is going on?!
Su Baitao's divine sense and spiritual sense were still in full operation, desperately perceiving! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
But from the smokey wine, she detected no abnormalities...wine smoking, of course there was something wrong! Her eyes spotted what's wrong, but her divine sense and spiritual sense found no anomalies!
This… was beyond her understanding and comprehension!
"An Ancient Immortal?
"No... impossible... they can't exert such an influence over the current realm...
"Then if there's only one answer... the master behind West State... the Alchemist?
"How could he manage this?
"How far has he traveled this path?
"To what level has he cultivated?"
Looking around the room, the students holding their glasses, inhaling the wine aroma in the air, their faces flushed, eyes half-closed, as though dreaming, entranced!
Su Baitao wanted to hold her breath, to resist the wine aroma in the air, but she couldn't!
Her nose and mouth tightly shut, yet her face, neck, arms, every strand of hair... all sensed the wine aroma, all were falling into an intoxicated state!
