After being expelled from the sect, I became the villain mentor

After the high priest finished his dance, he floated back to the lake and directed his followers to bring up jars of fine wine.

"Everyone, enjoy your drink."

There were small celadon bowls everywhere at the party, and everyone raised their glasses to drink together. Even children who could not drink were allowed to have a drink by their adults, and the atmosphere was lively.

The high priest took a small bowl and poured a bowl of wine for Yu Nian. "Miss Yu, this is Mingqian Flower Wine. It's made with Pu'er tea as the base and dozens of flowers added. It has a rich taste. Try it."

Yu Nian: “…”

The high priest then asked the staff behind him to pour a bowl for Ling Cang and the people from the Yaoguang Sect nearby, "Try it!"

Smelling the aroma in the bowl, Ling Cang picked up the wine bowl and was about to take a sip when Yu Nianzhi stopped him with his hand.

Yu Nian pursed her lips, "Ahem, no alcohol."

What she said before must be done, she must keep her word... She was embarrassed once, and the lesson was terrible enough. Anyway, she never wanted to touch a drop of alcohol again in her life.

If Yu Nian hadn't said it, Ling Cang wouldn't have remembered it. But when Yu Nian said it, Ling Cang's mind was filled with the image of her removing and gnawing on the door panels...

Ling Cang: “…”

As expected, if one person can’t drink, does that mean everyone should be unable to drink?

Forget it. After all, Yu Nian was still his nominal master. He still had to save some face for Yu Nian and try not to let Yu Nian embarrass himself by drinking alcohol...

After all, the big disturbance in the festival to worship the gods will probably go down in the history of Flower God Island.

The high priest narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and said, "Miss Yu, and this young master, why don't you drink?"

Yu Nian patiently explained, "Your High Priest may not know, but I'm from Fengxian Academy, and the rule of our sect is that no one is allowed to drink alcohol."

"Oh, I see. In that case, I won't force you." As he said that, the high priest picked up the bowl of wine, raised his head and drank it with a smile.

Yun Yan didn't have these concerns. She took the wine, took a sip, and immediately felt refreshed.

"Sister Yu Nian, this Mingqian flower wine is delicious, fragrant and sweet. I want to drink more."

As she spoke, Yun Yan took another sip, and all the Yaoguang Sect disciples around her, except Lan Qingqing, started drinking as well.

"Junior sister, why don't you drink? This wine is fragrant and really good." Xiao Muyu noticed Lan Qingqing's abnormality and asked in a low voice.

"I……"

Lan Qingqing has water spirit roots and is very sensitive to things containing water. She always feels that there is a faint fishy smell in this wine.

She was hesitating whether to say it out loud, but seeing that everyone around her was drinking happily, even the little girl who followed her took two sips of wine and there was nothing unusual.

Maybe she was overthinking it. They were kind enough to invite her to drink, so she couldn't spoil the fun. She shook her head and smiled, "Brother, I can't drink much, so I won't drink."

No one noticed the little episode here. On the other side, Yun Yan held her cheeks with both hands and smiled foolishly at Yu Nian: "Sister Yu Nian, how come you became two?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she stumbled. Fortunately, Yu Nian pulled her up, otherwise she would have had a close contact with the ground.

"Sister Yu Nian, why do I feel dizzy..."

Yu Nian smiled helplessly, rubbed little Yun Yan's head, picked her up, and let her head rest on his shoulder.

The two disciples of the Yun family stood up in a panic, "Miss Yu, let us do it. How can we trouble you?"

"No problem." Yu Nian smiled slightly, "Xiaoyan at least called me sister, it was just a hug."

The high priest who was standing nearby watching all this raised the corners of his mouth and a hint of evil flashed across his eyes.

Yu Nian held the sleeping Yun Yan in his arms and turned to look at the high priest. "Thank you for your hospitality today, High Priest. We have things to do, so we'll take our leave now."

After saying that, Yu Nian and his companions left Luoying Lake and headed towards the inn. Seeing that it was getting late, the disciples of Yaoguang Sect decided to follow them back since they were going the same way.

On the roadside, two young men holding large jars of wine bumped into each other. The jar fell to the ground and shattered. The flying fragments of the jar smashed a field of flower pots that had grown neatly on the roadside. A person in charge of the party was ridiculing the two men.

"Sorry, manager. I'll clean it up and replace it with some new ones."

The thing that Flower God Island has the most of is flowers, and no one really cares about those pots of flowers. The manager gave them a few more instructions, asking them to be more careful, and then left.

One young man ran to buy flowers, while the other used a broom to sweep up the broken flower pots and the floral mud scattered on the ground.

Lan Qingqing, who was walking behind Yu Nian and the others, glanced around casually and saw this scene.

She wanted to look away, but her eyes were attracted by the corner of the street that was originally covered by the flower pot and was now exposed.

The exposed corner of the ground seemed to have been painted with some patterns using dark red and black paint.

These patterns are difficult to observe and are disorganized, just like a painter accidentally spilled the water used to wash his brush on the ground. Even if someone sees these traces, they will only think of them as dirt and debris and ignore them.

But she was still a little worried about the Qingming Festival wine incident, and she became alert instantly.

"Look, what is that?"

Yu Nian's attention was instantly drawn to her.

What did the heroine discover?

She handed Yun Yan to the Yun family disciple and walked over to check the dark red stains.

Ling Cang also squatted down and took a closer look. Judging from the traces of the exposed corner, it seemed to be a formation.

"Master, it seems to be a formation."

The art of talismans and the art of formations actually have a lot in common. Although Yu Nian does not understand formations, she understands the art of talismans, and with her improved qualifications, she can see that something is wrong.

"Is there anyone who understands the formation?" Yu Nian asked.

The disciples of Yaoguang Sect all shook their heads. None of them understood the formation.

Yu Nian suddenly thought of the formation of the inn. The formation was extremely exquisite and must have been created by a formation master. That person might know about it.

She was about to ask the Yun family disciples who the owner of the inn was when the high priest suddenly appeared behind them.

"I set up this formation."

"High Priest?" Lan Qingqing frowned slightly. "May I ask what this formation is used for?"

This is just a corner of the formation. The entire formation may cover the entire Flower God Island. We must find out clearly.

"This is a flower-cultivating formation that allows flowers to bloom forever."

"Ah?" Everyone looked surprised.

"That's a tulip, and this is a lilac," the high priest casually pointed at two pots of flowers. "Putting these two together will cause the flowering period to end prematurely, but the Flower God Festival requires an island full of flowers, so this situation is unavoidable. We can only use formations to keep the flowers blooming."

This answer was unexpected, but also reasonable, and no one could find fault with it.

Everyone temporarily put aside their doubts and said goodbye to the high priest, but Yu Nian, Ling Cang and Lan Qingqing were still worried.
