Chapter 414: Can’t Beat Them Up Openly
Li Yan only glanced at Sun Tianhao coldly and couldn’t be bothered to answer.
Chu Luo said, “I asked Yan to get someone to bring it over. If the meat isn’t handled properly on the fire, you’ll have diarrhea. Do you want to have diarrhea for the entire night?”
Sun Tianhao: “…”
At this moment, he suddenly wished that he was a barbecue expert so that he could be awesome in front of Chu Luo.
Everyone started to roast meat and drink wine. The young people from the two towns were singing and dancing, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
With such a good atmosphere, Sun Tianhao planned to ignore Li Yan, who was sitting in the middle, and ask Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, why are you guys going there?”
Since the two of them had come here, they must be going to that tomb too. He had mixed feelings.
“We have the same goal as you.”
“Aren’t you guys going into the tomb?”
“We came to save people.”
Sun Tianhao actually didn’t quite believe it.
Chu Luo asked him, “With Li’s wealth and my ability, what do you think we need in that tomb? Especially since the things in that tomb are all just legends. Can legends be real?”
Sun Tianhao actually felt that she made sense.
“Then who are you looking for?”
Since they had reached this point, Chu Luo did not intend to hide anything. “A Gu Master who cast Gu poison on my form teacher.”
“What? Someone cast a Gu poison on your form teacher… Your high school form teacher?”
“Yes.”
Sun Tianhao immediately asked in concern, “How’s your form teacher now? Has the Gu poison acted up? I heard that once a person is poisoned by the Gu, only the person who planted the Gu can cure it. Who was so vicious as to cast the Gu poison on your form teacher?”
“The Qin family.”
“The Qin family!”
Sun Tianhao slammed his fist on the ground.
The desert was filled with stones and thick sand. Sun Tianhao’s slam made people feel pain for him. He said, “Chu Luo, don’t worry. If I see the Qin family, I’ll definitely help you capture that Gu poison master.”
Chu Luo nodded.
At this moment, Li Yan also tilted his head to look at him.
Sun Tianhao didn’t even want to look at Li Yan. He deliberately stood up and rolled up his sleeves. “Tonight, I’ll barbecue for you and let you taste what delicacies are.”
Li Yan glanced at him as if he was looking at an idiot and tilted his head to ask Chu Luo, “Do you still want to change seats now?”
At this moment, the aroma of roasted meat was already emanating. The stench had been mostly suppressed. Chu Luo shook her head. “I’m not changing.”
“Mm, what do you want to eat? You ate lamb chop and beef at dinner. Eat less later.”
Chu Luo nodded obediently.
Sun Tianhao, who was standing there roasting the lamb chop, had been listening to the two of them with his ears open. When he heard Li Yan say that, he snorted in his heart and muttered, “You simply don’t want her to eat the meat I roasted.”
Just as he finished muttering, he felt a cold gaze shoot over.
He didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.
At this moment, everyone’s enthusiasm surged. The town heads of the two towns brought over many strong alcohol.
One of the town heads said loudly, “Guests who came from afar, we don’t have anything good to welcome you with. The temperature will drop drastically at night. We’ve prepared some strong wine for you to warm up.”
After saying that, he gestured for the townspeople to pour wine for everyone.
Everyone drank from large bowls.
Just as the townspeople finished pouring wine for everyone, they saw Duanmu Tian walking over with a group of youngsters.
They didn’t walk to the Sun family’s side. Instead, they got someone to light a new fire and took a lot of food over.
Sun Tianhao looked at these people and snorted. “They really think they’re the sons of the number one family? Just wait. When we go to the desert, I’ll make them cry for their parents.”
Chu Luo looked at him strangely. “You seem to dislike the Duanmu family a lot?”
“Of course. They’re a group of young masters who only know how to eat, drink, and play all day, and they look down on us martial artists.”
“In that case, beat them up.”
“We can’t beat them up openly,” Sun Tianhao said in a depressed tone. “The Duanmu family and the Qin family are all evil. If we beat them up blatantly, they will tamper with our military expenses again.”
“There’s such a thing?”
“They did it very cleanly, but I can guess that they must have tampered with our military expenses many times.”
“Don’t you have your own businesses?”
“Of course. If we entirely count on the Duanmu family and the Qin family to express their stance, we would have starved to death. That’s why I’m very displeased with them.”
Chu Luo nodded and lowered her eyes to think. She asked him, “Do you want to deal with them?”
“Yes, you have a way?”
“Yes, go drink with them later.”
When Sun Tianhao heard this, he paused for a moment before shaking his head. “I can’t beat them in drinking. They indulge in drinking often. As for us, we’re not allowed to drink in school or on missions.”
“Don’t worry about that. With me around, it’s difficult for you to get drunk.”
Sun Tianhao’s eyes lit up. “Okay.”
Everyone continued eating and drinking.
After a while, Sun Tianhao asked a townsman to bring him a jar of wine. Then, he led his men towards the Duanmu family.
When the people from the Duanmu family saw the group of people walking over, everyone except Duanmu Tian stood up and looked at them warily.
Sun Tianhao stopped two meters away from Duanmu Tian and looked at him. Without beating around the bush, he said, “Duanmu Tian, since we meet each other tonight, come and have a drink with me.”
“Our Young Master Duanmu…”
“Could it be that Duanmu Tian is mute and that’s why he asked you to answer on his behalf? Or are you afraid to drink with me, Duanmu Tian?”
In front of these people, Sun Tianhao was stern and ruthless. He stunned the person who had spoken up for Duanmu Tian.
The others were also a little afraid. After all, everyone knew that the Sun family was unreasonable at times.
Duanmu Tianhao looked at Sun Tianhao. Not only was he not angry, but he also smiled like a young master.
“To be able to meet Young Master Sun at the edge of such a desert tonight, we can be considered to be fated. We must drink this wine together… When our Duanmu family encounters trouble in the desert, we will have to rely on the Sun family’s help.”
“Help? Are you thinking too much? As the hedonistic young masters of the capital, instead of staying in the capital, you came here to cause trouble. Not only me, but even my brothers won’t agree to save people like you who don’t have any self-awareness.”
“Why did Young Master Sun say that? So many people have disappeared in the desert this time. Ignoring everything else, there were quite a few professors and teachers from Imperial University and experts from the archaeology world. They are all national treasures. When I heard that they had disappeared, I couldn’t help but come over personally to look for them.”
“Haha, I don’t believe you’re here to look for those people. Your true motive is to go into that tomb, right? Oh, I forgot. I heard that your Duanmu family already sent people to go into that tomb previously.”
“Young Master Sun, that’s not right. As the number one family clan, even if our Duanmu family goes into the tomb, it’s for the entire country, unlike those tomb raiders who sold our national treasures… Didn’t you want to drink? Come, I’ll drink with Young Master Sun tonight.”
After Duanmu Tian finished speaking, he gestured to his men. “Go get a jar with as much wine as Young Master Sun’s jar.”
One of them quickly went to get a jar of wine for him.
“Young Master Sun, come over and sit.”
Sun Tianhao carried the wine jar and strode over. Duanmu Tian’s men pulled Sun Tianhao’s men over to drink.
Chu Luo looked at the group of people who seemed to be in a drinking competition and smiled at Li Yan. “Duanmu Tianhao and the others are obviously trying to get Sun Tianhao drunk.”
Li Yan glanced over and responded with an “Mm” before shifting his gaze to the bonfire in front of him. His expression was as dark as the night.
Half an hour later, the group of people drinking presented a different scene.
Sun Tianhao and the others became more and more sober as they drank. On Duanmu Tian’s side, they were already drunk to the point of no return.
Duanmu Tian, who had always felt that he could hold his liquor well, finally felt that something was wrong. When Sun Tianhao asked him to fill it again, he said, “Why do I feel that Young Master Sun’s jar of wine smells more fragrant than mine? Why don’t we switch our wine?”
Sun Tianhao sneered. “No.”
At this moment, Duanmu Tian turned to look at Chu Luo and Li Yan with a headache. “I think someone must have tampered with your jar of wine. Otherwise, why are you still sober when we’re all drunk?”
“Because I can hold my liquor well.”
“Is that so? Then let’s stop drinking. If we continue drinking, the group of us will have to spend the night on the Gobi.”
After saying that, Duanmu Tian threw the wine jar in his hand to the side. He didn’t care if the jar fell or if the remaining wine had been spilled.
Sun Tianhao frowned in displeasure. Just as he was about to speak, Duanmu Tian suddenly approached him and said, “I guess those two are Li Yan and Chu Luo. Did Chu Luo use some method to turn the wine in your wine jar into water?”
