Song Jixing decisively took Xu Kai to the company after sending everyone to their rooms.

On the way, Xu Kai looked like he wanted to say something but held back.

Song Jixing remained very calm throughout, without any reaction.

After discussing work at the company, Xu Kai still brought up the people they saw in the yard.

"Were they your friends? Or colleagues in the industry!" Xu Kai asked with concern.

Xu Kai took a few glances, not many. Their attire and makeup were quite exquisite, they must be professionals.

"I'm not sure, friends of friends." Song Jixing didn't dare make it sound too absolute.

How could friends of friends be lying in Song Jixing's arms? Even if Xu Kai was curious, he knew when to stop prying.

"Come with me to the hotel to meet Older Mr. Zhang tomorrow, okay? Don't forget!" Xu Kai reminded repeatedly.

Song Jixing nodded in agreement.

When Song Jixing returned home, Bai Ling and disciple were still fast asleep, snoring away.

The floral scent of sake lingered on them, intoxicating indeed, making it difficult to wake up quickly.

Plus, no one dared call out to them, so master and disciple were left to continue sleeping.

Flower Sen Leaf was a sake unintentionally brewed by the previous Sect Leader. It was mildly famous in the cultivation world for its rich mellowness and leaving behind a lingering fragrant breath after drinking.

Although the sake was good, one of the ingredients was extremely rare. Added to the fact that it took ten years to brew, it was also very scarce.

The sect would only take out a jar or two to entertain distinguished guests occasionally, to demonstrate Qingyun Sect's sincerity.

That day, when celebrating the opening of the treasure vault, several true disciples and elders from other sects came as guests. The odd-job disciples brought out many jars of wine, one of which was Flower Sen Leaf.

Song Jixing overheard one elder mentioning it was some rare wine, but she didn't take particular note.

She usually didn't drink much, only taking a small sip.

That one sip entered her stomach and turned into warm spiritual power, spreading through her limbs and body. Everywhere her gaze landed seemed to become warm and fuzzy, light and drifting.

Song Jixing quickly circulated some spiritual power to sober up, immediately regaining her clarity.

She knew the potency of Flower Sen Leaf, but whether it could intoxicate depended on the drinker.

Song Jixing: "Will you be able to wake up tomorrow?"

Qi Yun pondered: "Not necessarily! I heard Elder Bai often doesn't wake for over half a year after getting drunk."

Hearing the term 'half a year', Song Jixing seemed to think of something. "You'll probably wake up when hungry tomorrow!"

Everyone in the room glanced around and nodded in agreement to this point.

So they didn't worry too much about the master and disciple, and continued chatting about other things.

At 4am, Song Jixing's phone on the bedside table lit up.

Song Jixing opened her eyes to see it was a message from Senior Brother.
