Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11169: Chapter 11168: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

Lin Yi was even more surprised.

Normally speaking, if it was really to express its grandeur, a few elders of the family would definitely be found to accompany the guests at the banquet. Unless it was a close friend, they would not pay attention to such a scene.

However, if he said that the other party was not particular, what was the meaning of such a big show just now?

He entered the living room.

Soon, even the maids were dismissed. Zhangsun Sheng said solemnly,” Mister Lin has done me a great favor. You are also an honored guest of the Duke Protector’s Residence. Let me offer a toast to Mister Lin.”

As he spoke, he gestured for Ning Yuqi to pour Lin Yi some wine.

“You’re being too serious, Duke. Madam’s status is too high, I can’t take it, let me do it.”

As he spoke, he was about to take the wine jug from Ning Yuqi.

Zhangsun Sheng’s eyelids twitched. He hurriedly said,” Mister Lin, please don’t stand on ceremony. Previously, Yu Qi offended us in the Divine Kingdom on land. It is only right for her to pour wine and apologize. For my sake, I hope Mister Lin can give her a chance.”

Normally speaking, the Promise Breaking Wine was no different from other spirit wines and was very difficult to detect.

However, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Lin Yi wasn’t an ordinary person, after all. If this jug of wine fell into his hands, he would be in big trouble if he was discovered.

With Zhangsun Sheng’s signal, Ning Yuqi quickly blocked Lin Yi’s hand and took a wine glass from the side, slowly filling it up.

“Yu Qi, as an apology, you have to personally feed this glass of wine to Mister Lin. Otherwise, you won’t be able to show your sincerity.” Zhangsun Sheng added, afraid that Lin Yi would notice something was wrong.

One sentence made Ning Yuqi’s face turn red like blood.

Although she had already mentally prepared herself for this, it still made her feel embarrassed.

It was true that she was not the type of woman who was particularly conservative. Before she got married, there were times when she was bold and bold in front of other men. However, in the end, she still adhered to the layers of etiquette of a lady from a noble family.

Men and women shouldn’t touch each other.

She was the wife of a newly married state duke, and she was personally feeding wine to an outsider. What kind of etiquette was this?

Most importantly, they had to do it in front of Zhangsun Sheng, the Duke’s husband!

Even though this matter was instigated by Zhangsun Sheng in every possible way, at this moment, she still felt a strong sense of dishonor.

Zhangsun Sheng urged with his eyes.

Ning Yuqi had no choice but to bite the bullet. He lifted the glass with his delicate fingers and slowly brought it to Lin Yi’s mouth while enduring the strong embarrassment.

“It’s not like that, it really isn’t like that.” Lin Yi was stunned.

“Mister Lin, this is our apology wine. You have to drink it, or else you’ll be looking down on the Duke Protector’s Residence!” Zhangsun Sheng said.

His tone was unyielding, as if he was going to fall out with her on the spot if she didn’t give him face.

“Mr. Lin, please drink this cup,” Ning Yuqi advised with a red face.

As she spoke, her breath was like orchids, almost spraying onto Lin Yi’s face, making the atmosphere even more charming.

Lin Yi looked at Zhangsun Sheng with a strange expression.

He really did not expect that the other party would actually have such a taste.

“Alright then.”

Lin Yi couldn’t refuse since he’d already put it this way.

After all, even his master didn’t mind, so what did he have to mind? He wasn’t the one who was at a disadvantage.

Zhangsun Sheng smiled in satisfaction as he watched Lin Yi finish the glass.” One glass isn’t enough. Good things must come in pairs. Yu Qi, give Mr. Lin another toast.”

After saying that, he raised his glass and showed the bottom to Lin Yi.

He didn’t know the effects of the wine. If one cup wasn’t enough, he would fail.

To be safe, it was best to let Lin Yi drink the whole pot of wine.

As for how much Ning Yuqi had to sacrifice in this process, it was no longer within his consideration.

Compared to the 20% luck bonus, Ning Yuqi’s sacrifice was insignificant in his eyes.

Nominally, she was the wife of the High Duke that he had officially married, but in the end, Ning Yuqi was just a beautiful woman at his side.

Not to mention just feeding wine to people in person, when it was really necessary, it was not impossible to take it one step further.

In the end, Lin Yi finished the whole pot of wine, and Zhangsun Sheng felt relieved.

“Mister Lin, can we discuss the matter of the luck dividends again?”

Zhangsun Sheng got to the point.

“Didn’t we already discuss this in court?” Lin Yi blinked.

Zhangsun Sheng shook his head.” I won’t hide this from Mister Lin. Twenty points of luck is too much. With the foundation of the Duke Protector’s Public House, we really can’t afford it. Therefore, I hope that Mister Lin can reduce it a little.”

“How much do you want?” Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.

” According to the rules of the Imperial Court, it’s usually a one point luck bonus.”

Zhangsun Sheng extended two fingers.” I’m not an ungrateful person. No matter what, Mister Lin has done a great favor for the Duke Protector’s Residence. Therefore, I’m willing to give you two points.”

The scene fell into a strange silence.

Two points of luck dividends was double the official regulations. In the entire Hundred Seedlings Plan, it was not that there were no Hundred Seedlings who only received one point.

However, one had to know that those were the disciples nurtured by the various Imperial Factions themselves. They were completely their own people.

Moreover, the things that the various imperial mansions could provide were far from what ordinary luck dividends could compare to.

In the later stages, the rules that were selected, including the Queen and the others, received nearly ten points of luck dividends!

Zhangsun Sheng throwing out two points was no different from humiliating Lin Yi.

“Duke, we’ve made an oath to the agreement, breaking it without permission will result in severe consequences.” Lin Yi said in a low voice.

“Are you not satisfied?”

Zhangsun Sheng smiled.” It’s alright. Actually, I’m not satisfied either. Two points is not a small sum. If you really agree, I’m not willing to part with it.”

“Are you really not afraid of the backlash from the oath?” Lin Yi asked.

” Of course I’m afraid. Who isn’t afraid of the backlash of a heart oath?”

Zhangsun Sheng nodded as if he was serious.” But I’m not the one who broke the oath. What do I have to be afraid of? Lin Yi, you’re the one I should be worried about.”

Lin Yi frowned.

Zhangsun Sheng laughed and pointed at Ning Yuqi.” The wine she just fed you is the wine of breaking a promise. Once the wine is consumed, it will naturally be seen as breaking a vow!” Hehe, why else do you think I let her feed you wine and let you enjoy this luck for no reason?”

“Is that so?” Lin Yi turned to Ning Yuqi.

Ning Yuqi nodded silently.
