The third floor of the wine shop.
Ye Lingshan looked around in despair, feeling that everything was over.
"Esteemed Elders of the Sacred Altar, is this how you behave as elders? Disregarding your age and dignity, forcing me to serve wine... where has your virtue gone!"
Although the Spirit Realm Continent was a place where strength reigned supreme, virtue was generally a very important consideration. Especially for departments like the Sacred Altar, which were at the pinnacle of the pyramid, they were considered the highest cultivation institutions in the eyes of the world.
Yet now, elders who emerged from the Sacred Altar were polite in public but unrestrained in private!
They were already starting by making her serve wine and making lewd remarks!
Ye Lingshan vaguely felt that she was about to jump into a fiery pit. Recalling her brother's predicament, she felt as though everything had fallen apart, as if the sky had collapsed.
Moreover, the person she liked the most seemed to have drifted far away from her now...
"Heh heh, little girl! You just need to have a good drink with the elders, and this matter will be over. To put it bluntly, you've been sent to the Sacred Altar by your family to take someone else's place. After all this, we still need to cultivate you well. This back and forth, don't we need to collect some interest!"
"Exactly, where in this world is there a free lunch? After you go, I'll give you guidance to help you break through to the Emperor Realm sooner. And for you, merely serving wine and singing a few songs, what does that even count for! Moreover, do you know that, by rights, several of us could sleep with you. Hmph, we're just considering that you're not used to it yet, and we haven't forced ourselves upon you!"
"Mhm, Elder Lu is right, hahaha, forcing oneself upon someone sounds good!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingshan trembled in fear. At home, she was a cherished prodigy. But now, in the eyes of these old men, she was like a prostitute, at their mercy, with no hint of tenderness or pity.
Ye Lingshan also knew that the wine was extremely potent!
Once she drank it, she would immediately get drunk. She had already taken a sip and felt her head starting to spin. If she continued to drink, there was only one outcome: getting drunk!
As for what would happen to her after getting drunk, Ye Lingshan knew it all too well. While she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. The despicable thoughts of these elders were already overflowing, making her feel nauseous.
"Elders, Lingshan is truly unable to hold her liquor!"
As Ye Lingshan spoke, she tried to put down the wine cup. However, at this moment, the elders who had just been willing to negotiate became furious.
"Hmph! It's better to be punished than to be offered a toast! I just said, let's force this little girl to drink. I've already given her three days, and I can't wait any longer!"
"Exactly! A mere girl who hasn't reached the Emperor Realm dares to defy us? Letting you drink is already showing you respect. Hmph, to put it bluntly, if I demand that you immediately kneel and serve me now, it would be justified!"
"Drink!!!"
"Drink it down immediately!"
With a burst of shouting, Ye Lingshan trembled, tears streaming down her face. After all, before coming, the clan leader had instructed her not to offend these elders. She was joining the Sacred Altar this time to allow her brother to enter the Sacred Altar a year later.
Now, her brother, Ye Wushuang, had just broken through to the Emperor Realm and had great prospects!
This year would allow him to stabilize his Emperor Realm cultivation, thereby increasing his chances of remaining with the Ye Clan.
But now, facing these despicable elders, Ye Lingshan was on the verge of collapse!
"Wuwu... I, I'll drink!"
Suddenly, just as Ye Lingshan was about to break down and drink the wine, planning to die, a dark-skinned man's voice came from the doorway.
"Hey, what kind of birds are there in this big forest? Damn it, who left their zipper down while going to the toilet and let you old bastards leak out? You're really filthy!"
"Who!"
The elders immediately looked towards the doorway and saw Su Han. He was dark-skinned, dressed in farmer's attire, looking rustic. He wore a straw hat and held a long sword in his hand, appearing like a wandering swordsman!
"I go by no other name, nor do I change my surname! Su Yeye!"
Su Yeye?
The elders were all bewildered and looked at the young man at the doorway.
Although he was dressed as a farmer, none of them dared to assume he was just a farmer. After all, a mere farmer wouldn't have the ability to remain undetected by them. This young man had been here, and they hadn't noticed him until he spoke, revealing some clues!
"Su Yeye! Hmph, I haven't heard your name, but you must have heard of our great reputations. I am Lu Shengzi, the sect leader of the Deer Spirit Palace, currently serving as an outer elder in the Sacred Altar. Heh heh, I'm just passing by for a drink today!"
"Indeed, we are elders of the Sacred Altar. You, kid, haven't even heard of the Sacred Altar, have you!"
"A mere junior, do not cause trouble here again, and quickly retreat!"
They berated him, but they dared not speak too harshly because they couldn't discern Su Han's true strength. After all, normally, if they mentioned the name of the Sacred Altar, it would be enough to subdue anyone, and no one would dare to provoke them.
However, at this moment.
Su Han sneered and chuckled, "Elders? Bullshit! You old geezers are fit to be elders? Who do you think you are? Damn it, you think the Sacred Altar is a place you can just enter, and you bully a young girl? Truly despicable! Today, I, Su Yeye, will right this wrong and vent this little girl's anger!"
Upon hearing this.
The elders were instantly furious!
"Good for you, Su Yeye, refusing a toast and asking for a beating! I've tried to reason with you, but you insist on seeking death. Don't blame me!"
"Hmph! Brother Lu, why waste words with this kid? We can crush him with a single move. I've already waited three days, and I still want to have some fun with this little girl tonight. Let's hurry up!"
With a flurry of urging, the elders had initially intended to scold him and send Su Han away.
But now, seeing that Su Han showed no intention of retreating and was even defending Ye Lingshan, they became displeased and wanted to deal with Su Han immediately.
As fast as lightning!
Su Han chuckled and said to Ye Lingshan in the distance, "Miss, I can't stand to see beauties cry. Seeing you cry today, may I make a request of you?"
"Hm? What request?" Ye Lingshan asked. At this moment, she found this Su Yeye somewhat familiar, but she was still uncertain about the exact nature of the familiarity.
