Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 198: It’s Truly Divine Wine! The Whole Venue Is Shocked!
Tieyun collapsed on the ground, utterly bewildered. Did the Manor Master get mad? But why target me? Shouldn’t he be targeting that kid?
The Manor Master’s aura erupted, sweeping through the surroundings. Everyone trembled, certain that Lin Xuan was doomed. But the next moment, they were all stunned. They saw the Manor Master cradling the earthen wine jug, his entire body trembling.
"What the hell is going on? Is the Manor Master trembling with anger?" someone muttered.
"He must be about to smash that jug of wine," another guessed.
But just then, the Manor Master, still cradling the jug, burst into thunderous, excited laughter. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Everyone was dumbfounded. The Manor Master actually laughed? He’s happy, not angry? This has to be a joke. I must be dreaming. Many people’s minds went blank.
The members of Star Pavilion were dumbstruck. When they had presented their famous wine earlier, the Manor Master hadn’t been nearly this excited. But now, he was hugging an earthen jug and laughing with pure elation. It defied all logic. Could the wine in that jug actually be Divine Wine? No, impossible. How could Lin Xuan possibly possess Divine Wine? It must be an illusion.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master and the others from her pavilion were also dumbfounded, completely baffled by the situation. Only Lin Xuan had a slight smile playing on his lips. He knew he had gifted true Divine Wine. This particular vintage had no aroma, so others couldn’t smell it, but its extraordinary nature was revealed the moment it was consumed. It seemed the Manor Master had recognized it after that single sip.
Lin Xuan chuckled and asked, "I wonder if the Manor Master is satisfied?"
"Satisfied? I am beyond satisfied!" the Manor Master laughed heartily. He held the earthen wine jug in one hand and clapped Lin Xuan on the shoulder with the other. "Young Master Lin, I must thank you," he said. "If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I would have gone my entire life without ever tasting Divine Wine. Young Master Lin, you are my benefactor!"
The crowd erupted into an uproar.
What? Divine Wine! The wine Lin Xuan gave him was actually Divine Wine! Heavens, this is unbelievable!
The members of the three great families were stunned. The four major sects were stunned. The people from the Prince’s Mansion were stunned. The members of Tianyang Pavilion were stunned. The members of Purple Mist Pavilion were stunned. The people of Wangyue Pavilion were stunned.
Only the members of Star Pavilion roared in crazed denial, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" How could that brat possibly have Divine Wine? I don’t believe it!
The Star Pavilion Master spoke up, "There must be a mistake. How could that boy possess Divine Wine? He’s just a minor Martial General."
"What? Are you questioning my judgment? Do you think I can’t recognize Divine Wine when I taste it?" The Manor Master’s expression darkened.
Oh no, the Manor Master is furious!
The faces of Shangguan Hao and Leng Rushuang drained of color, and they didn’t dare utter another word. Even the Star Pavilion Master froze on the spot, his own expression growing darker by the second.
At that moment, the Wangyue Pavilion Master, who had been standing to the side, suddenly burst out laughing. She had been so shocked before that her mind went blank, but now she had finally snapped out of it. She looked at Lin Xuan with immense excitement. That boy actually managed to produce Divine Wine! It’s incredible! I thought he was just bluffing, but it seems he wasn’t this time. He really does have Divine Wine!
Ye Qingwu and the others were utterly shocked. He wasn’t bluffing...
Tieyun, still lying on the ground, was completely bewildered. How can it be Divine Wine? Wasn’t he just bluffing? This is completely different from how I imagined things would go.
"Show any more disrespect to Young Master Lin and I will break both of your legs," the Manor Master snarled, glaring fiercely at Tieyun.
Terrified, Tieyun shivered and didn’t dare utter another word.
"Young Master Lin, this way, please. Come, sit beside me."
The Manor Master personally led Lin Xuan toward the head table. The crowd watched, filled with immeasurable envy. The younger disciples’ eyes were red with jealousy. Even Tieyun and Iron Mountain were incredibly envious, as not even they were qualified to sit next to the Manor Master.
Lin Xuan didn’t sit down immediately. Instead, he said, "I came here with the Pavilion Master and elders of Wangyue Pavilion. They’re still over in the corner."
"Quickly! Bring them all over here at once!" the Manor Master commanded with a grand wave of his hand.
Two attendants immediately moved forward and invited the entire party from Wangyue Pavilion to the head table.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. Ye Qingwu and the others felt as if they were in a dream. Just moments ago, they had been relegated to a corner, feeling slighted and uncomfortable. Ye Qingwu had even complained about Lin Xuan. But now? They were seated at the head table, right next to the Manor Master himself. This is the highest honor! And it’s all thanks to Lin Xuan!
When Ye Qingwu looked at Lin Xuan, the way she saw him had completely changed. Lin Xuan is simply magical! He’s unbelievable!
The elders were also trembling with excitement. Young Master Lin is truly heaven-defying!
"Lin Xuan, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you earlier," Ye Qingwu apologized softly.
Lin Xuan just smiled. "It’s nothing. I’d already forgotten about it."
While the Wangyue Pavilion’s table was full of joy, the mood among the members of Star Pavilion was incredibly foul. The Star Pavilion Master was grinding his teeth so hard they nearly shattered. Lin Xuan is being valued so highly by the Manor Master! He’s very likely to win the Manor Master’s prize, that ultimate weapon! Is he going to use this to soar to new heights? Damn it all! I can’t accept this!
Just as he was seething, Lin Xuan’s gaze drifted over to him.
Lin Xuan said, "I almost forgot. Star Pavilion Master, didn’t you say earlier that if my wine turned out to be Divine Wine, you would eat this very jug? Now it’s time to fulfill your promise."
At these words, all eyes turned to the Star Pavilion Master. The crowd’s expressions were a strange mix of pity and amusement. Some sighed, while others eagerly watched the unfolding drama.
A few couldn’t help but taunt him. "The Star Pavilion Master really stumbled this time. Getting shown up by a young man!"
"Tsk, tsk, how embarrassing. I wonder if he’ll actually eat dirt?"
"I’d love to see what the great Star Pavilion Master looks like while eating dirt!"
The experts from the other families, who loved nothing more than a good show, all began to jeer and heckle.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master smiled and said, "Star Pavilion Master, you are a Grandmaster and the head of your own pavilion. Your word should be your bond. Surely you won’t go back on it in front of everyone, will you?"
The Star Pavilion Master trembled with rage, almost coughing up a mouthful of blood. How could I have known that Lin Xuan actually had Divine Wine? Now that I’ve lost the bet, am I really supposed to eat dirt on the spot? That’s a fate worse than death!
He glared viciously at Lin Xuan and gritted out, "How did you get your hands on Divine Wine? It’s something that even the imperial family can’t obtain. How could you possibly have it?"
Everyone else was also intensely curious. That’s right, how did Lin Xuan get Divine Wine? Even the Wangyue Pavilion Master looked over, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Lin Xuan explained, "This jar of Divine Wine is something I acquired in the Celestial Spirit Ruins. Although I refused the main inheritance of the Celestial Spirit Ruins back then, I didn’t leave empty-handed. I obtained the Five Elements Spirit Pearl... and this jar of Divine Wine."
So that’s how it was! It came from the Celestial Spirit Ruins. A wave of understanding passed through the crowd.
"Alright," Lin Xuan said, his gaze returning to the pavilion master. "I’ve explained the origin of my Divine Wine. Star Pavilion Master, isn’t it about time you ate some dirt?"
Once again, all eyes fell upon the Star Pavilion Master.
