Chapter 182: Tavern Storm: Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, and Li Tian's Thoughts on the Drinking Party
After hearing Li Tian's question, Qiao Feng paused for a moment and then responded, "This Xingzilin meeting is for the Beggars' Sect brothers to discuss important matters. As for what the specific matter is, it is inconvenient to say more at this time. It will be revealed at the meeting."
Li Tian understood what was going on. It was because of the death of the deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan.
So he stopped asking.
Several people continued to drink and the atmosphere was lively.
Li Qiuge looked at Qiao Feng, feeling deeply moved. This heroic hero had no idea that he was about to face a huge change.
As the wine got to his head, Li Tianhao was in high spirits. He picked up a jar of wine and said loudly, "Master Qiao, meeting you today is a real pleasure in life. Come, let's drink this jar!"
Qiao Feng smiled cheerfully, picked up a jar of wine and said, "Okay, Brother Li, I won't go home until I'm drunk today!"
The two men drank heavily, the wine flowing down the corners of their mouths, but they didn't care.
The people around them were infected by their heroism and cheered.
Li Qiuge watched from the side, his eyes full of smiles and admiration.
After drinking a jar of wine, Qiao Feng's face turned slightly red, but his eyes became brighter. He asked, "Brother Li, although this is the first time we meet today, it feels like we are old friends reuniting. I wonder where you are from?"
Li Tian put down the wine jar and sighed: "Master Qiao, Qiuge and I come from a faraway place, it's a long story."
Qiao Feng nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions. He just said, "No matter where you come from, as long as you have justice in your heart, you are a good child of the martial arts world."
Li Tian raised the wine jar again: "Master Qiao is right. Come on, let's drink more!"
They drank a few more bottles of wine and their conversation became more and more speculative.
Li Tian's admiration for Qiao Feng grew stronger, and Qiao Feng also felt that Li Tian was someone he could make friends with.
At this moment, they put aside their worries and enjoyed this rare time.
As he got drunk, Li Tian looked at Qiao Feng, secretly wondering how to help Qiao Feng deal with the impending crisis at the Xingzilin Conference.
Li Tian's eyes lit up and he had an idea. He secretly circulated the internal energy in his body and swept it across Qiao Feng's back.
Qiao Feng was completely unaware of Li Tian's actions and continued to drink happily with Li Tian, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him.
The atmosphere in the pub was lively and everyone was immersed in the heroic spirit.
Li Tian and Qiao Feng continued to clink glasses and chat, seemingly forgetting the passage of time.
Li Qiuge looked at the two high-spirited men in front of her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She knew that this moment might not last long, and the shadow of the Xingzilin Conference would hang over Qiao Feng, a man of great righteousness.
But at this moment, Li Qiuge was willing to enjoy this tranquility and beauty.
As the wine jars were emptied one by one, Li Tian's thoughts became clearer.
Just as they were enjoying their drinks, there was a sudden noise outside the pub.
Everyone looked sideways and saw a young man in white clothes and with an elegant temperament walking in. This man was Duan Yu.
When Duan Yu saw Qiao Feng, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He walked up quickly, bowed and said, "Brother, I didn't expect to meet you here."
When Qiao Feng saw Duan Yu, he also laughed and stood up: "Second brother, long time no see."
Li Tian watched Duan Yu from the side and thought to himself, Duan Yu is a man who values friendship and loyalty, but he becomes obsessed with Wang Yuyan once he meets her.
Wang Yuyan and Li Tian had done business in the mall and were acquaintances.
This time when he came to the Tianlong world, Li Tian was thinking about whether to capture Wang Yuyan and take her into his room.
Duan Yu looked at Li Tian and Li Qiuge curiously.
Qiao Feng quickly introduced: "Second brother, these two are Brother Li Tian and his wife Li Qiuge. They heard about the Xingzilin Conference and came to join in the fun."
Duan Yu smiled and bowed to Li Tian and Li Qiuge, saying, "Mr. Li, nice to meet you."
Li Tian also returned the greeting and said, "I have heard of Mr. Duan's great name for a long time. It is an honor to meet him today."
Duan Yu waved his hand: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."
At this time, the atmosphere in the pub became even more lively.
Duan Yu joined the drinking party, and the three of them drank happily and talked about interesting stories in the martial arts world.
Li Qiuge looked at the three people, all of whom had the spirit of heroes, and felt a little emotional.
After several rounds of drinking, Duan Yu was in high spirits, but he couldn't hold his liquor.
His eyes rolled and he secretly activated the Six Meridians Divine Sword to force the wine out from his fingertips.
No one else noticed, only Li Tian noticed Duan Yu's actions.
Li Tian frowned slightly, feeling somewhat disgusted with Duan Yu's behavior.
In his opinion, drinking should be done with generosity and sincerity, and cheating like this is unheroic.
But Li Tian did not expose it on the spot, but just continued to observe calmly.
Qiao Feng and Duan Yu were still chatting and laughing, completely unaware of Li Tian's thoughts.
As the drinking party continued, Li Tian felt more and more that although Duan Yu was a man of loyalty and righteousness, this act of cheating was like a minor flaw in a perfect jade, which greatly reduced his impression of Duan Yu.
Duan Yu was immersed in the joy of reuniting with Qiao Feng and the lively atmosphere of the drinking party, and was unaware of Li Tian's opinion.
Li Qiuge looked at the three men from the side and felt that the atmosphere had subtly changed, but he couldn't tell the specific reason.
She gently pulled at the corner of Li Tian's clothes and looked at him inquiringly.
Li Tian shook his head slightly, signaling her not to ask more questions.
At this time, the sky outside the tavern gradually darkened and the drinking party was about to come to an end.
Duan Yu's face flushed with excitement, but Li Tian felt more doubtful and worried.
At this moment, Qiao Feng put down the wine jar, a heroic look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Brother Li, my second brother and I are sworn brothers. Today, we are getting along very well with Brother Li. Why don't you join us? How about the three of us becoming sworn brothers?"
Duan Yu was immediately excited when he heard this, and said loudly: "Brother, what you said is absolutely right. I couldn't ask for more."
Li Tian was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, Qiao Feng is a man of great righteousness, so it would be feasible to become sworn brothers with him.
But Duan Yu cheated when drinking and seemed to lack responsibility, so it was not a good thing to become sworn brothers with Duan Yu.
Li Tian hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Master Qiao, I am deeply honored to be able to become sworn brothers with you. Although Master Duan is loyal and righteous, the drinking incident today made me feel that Master Duan's behavior was inappropriate. I think that sworn brothers should be taken seriously and not be taken lightly. Therefore, I can only decline this sworn brotherhood."
Qiao Feng frowned slightly and looked at Duan Yu, only then he discovered traces of wine under Duan Yu's table.
He felt somewhat unhappy and blamed Duan Yu. Duan Yu was like this when they first met, and he was like this again today. Why would a real man act so sneaky?
Qiao Feng looked at Li Tian again and said, "Brother Li, no one is perfect. My second brother may have made some mistakes this time, but he is kind-hearted and loyal to his friends."
Duan Yu had also sobered up a little at this time, and a look of shame appeared on his face when he heard Li Tian's words.
He bowed and said, "Mr. Li, what you said is absolutely right. Duan Yu's behavior today was indeed inappropriate. I hope Mr. Li will forgive me. But I, Duan Yu, have always been sincere to my brother and friends, and I have never been false."
Li Tian shook his head and said, "Master Qiao, Master Duan, it's not that I am unreasonable. It's just that sworn brotherhood is a big deal. It requires mutual understanding and trust, and the styles of doing things are compatible. What happened today made me doubt Master Duan's character, so I dare not easily become sworn brothers. If there is a chance in the future, when we know each other better, it won't be too late to discuss this matter again."
Seeing Li Tian's firm attitude, Qiao Feng stopped forcing him and said, "Well, since Brother Li has such concerns, let's put this matter aside for now. However, I believe that we will have the opportunity to get to know each other better in the future, and perhaps Brother Li will change his mind then."
Although Duan Yu felt disappointed, he also understood his mistakes and nodded, "Master Li, Duan Yu will definitely change for the better. If there is a chance in the future, I hope Master Li can give Duan Yu a chance."
Li Qiuge watched from the side and secretly admired Li Tian's decision.
She knew that Li Tian always had principles and would not easily violate them.
At this time, the atmosphere in the tavern became subtle, and everyone had their own thoughts.
As the night deepened, the drinking party came to an end and everyone dispersed.
