The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

Ruo Bingli didn't want to attend this boring event, but those old guys from the Ye Clan insisted that she represent the Ye Clan, and she couldn't stand the annoyance, so she had no choice but to come.

Because of her dislike, she did not bring any of the younger members of the Ye family and sat alone in the seats of the ancient Ye clan.

At first, many people still wanted to get to know her, the young clan leader.

But seeing several groups of people return empty-handed, they became too lazy to bother trying anymore.

The annoying flies were finally gone. Ruobingli sat there, watching the hypocritical people around her exchanging pleasantries, pondering a certain suspicion in her heart.

When she first saw Du Yun, she felt a sense of familiarity for a fleeting moment.

She initially thought this feeling stemmed from her intense longing for him.

But seeing Du Yun's green tea-like appearance yesterday only intensified that feeling.

Why is this happening?

In terms of personality, Ruoxue gives people a somewhat gloomy feeling because of her own tragic experience.

Du Yun, on the other hand, always had a smile on her face, as if she didn't care about anything.

They are two people with completely opposite personalities, so why do I feel that they are similar?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly noticed a strange gaze falling on her.

Turning her head, Ruobingli was stunned to see Du Yun trying to find a place to hide.

Why is she here?

What is she hiding from?

Before Ruobingli could figure out the answer, Su Qi pretended not to see her and turned back to his seat.

Ruo Bingli narrowed her eyes, stood up, and walked straight over.

Seeing Ruo Bingli approaching, Su Qi panicked and wanted to stand up and run away.

But then I thought, wouldn't that make me seem guilty?

So he could only bite the bullet and continue to pretend he hadn't seen Ruobingli, looking around with an air of naiveté.

He couldn't keep up the act any longer until Ruobingli walked up to him and stared down at him.

He broke out in a cold sweat, forcing a smile at the corners of his mouth.

"Teacher Ruo... what a coincidence, you're here too!"

"Why are you pretending not to see me?" Ruobingli narrowed her eyes. "What are you feeling guilty about?"

The eerie light emanating from his eyes seemed to pierce through one's heart.

Damn it, where is my gentle, kind, and understanding master?

Who made her so aggressive?

Su Qi felt bitter inside, but could only continue to put on a guilty smile.

"Teacher, it's normal for a student to feel guilty and want to hide after being caught neglecting their studies, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ruobingli did not reply, but continued to watch silently with narrowed eyes.

Those nearby, who were initially surprised that Su Qi knew the young patriarch of the Ye clan, became somewhat nervous due to the serious atmosphere. They subtly moved to the side, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

After a long while, just when Su Qi couldn't stand being stared at anymore, Ruo Bingli finally spoke.

"Come, stay with me!"

"Uh...maybe not."

Su Qi wanted to back down, but Ruo Bingli grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him up.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the guests, Su Qi was simply lifted and seated in the Ye Clan's seat.

At this moment, Su Qi's feelings could only be described as wanting to cry but having no tears.

I didn't dare to speak, afraid that I would give myself away again, and I sat up straight.

If Bingli just stared straight at him like that, even when the waiter came to serve the food, she couldn't move an inch.

You seem very uncomfortable sitting next to me!

"Uh, isn't this normal? Students and teachers all feel awkward sitting together, right?"

Su Qi hurriedly tried to explain.

"You're in such a hurry to defend yourself, it seems like you're afraid I'll misunderstand you!"

Ruobingli found it increasingly suspicious.

Su Qi was almost numb.

Hey sis, do you have to be so sensitive?

"What could I possibly have done that would cause the teacher to misunderstand?"

Su Qi felt that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. To avoid being pressed further, he quickly picked up his chopsticks.

"Wow, I can't resist!"

Without thinking twice, he picked up the food and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ruo Bingli originally wanted to ask something, but seeing Su Qi looking like a starving ghost with his mouth full of food, she couldn't bring herself to ask.

The surrounding guests twitched at the sight of the little girl wolfing down her food so unceremoniously.

I was amazed at how stunningly beautiful she was.

On stage, as the band's music began, the once bustling venue instantly fell silent.

As the music played, Li Chengping, who had been absent all day, finally appeared, dressed impeccably, and walked onto the stage, beginning to ramble on.

Old Li was talking enthusiastically when his gaze inadvertently swept over Su Qi, who was wolfing down his food without even looking at him. He couldn't help but let a black line slide down his forehead.

Suddenly, she began to doubt whether she had made a mistake by sending Li Chunxin to contact Su Qi.

If we marry her, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Li family?

Unable to bear watching any longer, he was about to look away when he saw Su Qi suddenly widen his eyes and stand up abruptly.

This abrupt move instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Just as everyone was wondering what was wrong with him.

Suddenly, Su Qi chuckled twice, then, as if drunk, swayed and looked around.

Ruo Bingli's expression immediately turned to surprise and uncertainty. Her cold eyes swept over the delicacies on the table, and she made a judgment in an instant.

Someone poisoned the food!

“Du Yun…”

Just as Ruobingli was about to check on Su Qi, she discovered that Su Qi had somehow appeared beside her, staring intently at her with a pair of dazed eyes.

"Hehe...kiss!"

The next second, Su Qi did something that shocked everyone. He suddenly cupped Ruo Bingli's cheeks and kissed her hard.

Ruo Bingli was stunned, her eyes wide open, and she forgot to resist for a moment.

She quickly realized what was happening and tried to push Su Qi away, but before she could do anything, Su Qi went limp and fell into her arms.

Ruo Bingli covered her mouth, feeling both ashamed and angry.

He wanted to throw Su Qi to the ground, but knew he couldn't blame him.

He could only glare at everyone present with eyes full of anger.

"Drunken Immortal Powder, what a brilliant tactic!"

Logically speaking, since Su Qi has already reached the Mahayana realm, 99% of poisons should have no effect on him.

The problem is that Drunken Immortal Powder is not a poison.

This was created a long time ago by a drunkard who was going through a tribulation.

He, who was addicted to alcohol, discovered that as his skill improved, it became increasingly difficult for him to get drunk, regardless of the type of alcohol.

So he spent a lot of effort developing the Drunken Immortal Powder.

It is said that if you add this stuff to wine, even immortals will get drunk.

It's obvious that the person who drugged Ruo Bingli was targeting her; Su Qi was just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Given this unexpected turn of events, Li Chengping, as the host, naturally couldn't continue speaking out.

With a dark expression, he flashed to Ruobingli's side and began to examine the delicacies on the table without saying a word.

"Young Master Ye, it seems someone wants to humiliate you."

The Drunken Immortal Powder won't harm anyone, but it can make people reveal their ugly behavior after drinking.

People in Zhongzhou often resort to such petty tricks.

After all, face is very important to important people.

Ruobingli's gaze slowly shifted, finally settling on something not far away.

That was the Wang clan, one of the eight ancient clans. They were the ones that Ruobingli and her sister were forced to marry back then.

And they are Ruobingli's only enemies in Zhongzhou!
