What can I do now? So many eyes are watching, if I don't drink, I won't be able to save face, and in the future, Hu Qiang's reputation in the Shangjing Crown Prince Party circle will be completely looked down upon!

Helplessly, Hu Qiang could only pick up the glass and stubbornly drink it down.

Now, he can only hope that his alcohol tolerance doesn't get him drunk, not expecting to knock out Ye Xuan, just hoping he can still stand.

But the idea is good, yet reality is cruel!

After that glass of wine went down, Hu Qiang's whole stomach churned violently, and he directly vomited!

Alcohol surged to his brain completely numbing his nerves, his body uncontrollably swaying a few times, then he collapsed onto the nearby sofa, dazed and fell asleep.

After drinking, Ye Xuan glanced at the drunken Hu Qiang, muttering softly: "Drunk already? His alcohol tolerance isn't that great, worse than mine!"

After he finished speaking, he smacked his lips and turned his gaze towards Han Dong, cracked a big smile, revealing a 'warm' expression, said:

"Brother Han, shall we drink a few cups too? Just so, you drink the leftover of Brother Hu's glass."

This smile seemed a bit eerie in Han Dong's eyes!

"..."

With a face like he tasted dog feces, he showcased a smile uglier than crying — this karma came really fast! Earlier, it was them collectively trying to drown Ye Xuan in booze, and now it's Ye Xuan going around drowning them instead.

Indeed, it's a case of lifting a stone only to drop it on your own foot!

The first glass went down, Han Dong felt a bit dizzy.

The second glass, he went straight drunk.

The third glass, fourth glass...

There was no fourth glass!

Because after the third glass went down, Han Dong was already down for the count, lying on the sofa like Hu Qiang, completely unresponsive.

"Drunk again? What a bummer!"

Ye Xuan shook his head vigorously, then set his gaze on Deng Pengyang.

He's next in line!

"I... I'm drunk! Can't do it, I need to rest a while."

Deng Pengyang only managed two cups down before decisively tossing the glass, falling beside Hu Qiang and Han Dong, portraying an 'I am drunk' look.

Whether he's truly drunk or just pretending, no one really knows!

Seeing the three cronies he brought to help all being drunk by Ye Xuan, Jiang Tao's mouth twitched, his expression utterly darkened.

Damn, this kid is too good at pretending! He calls this not being good at drinking? Are you messing around professionally?

Ye Xuan didn't bother paying attention to him, looked at the now alone Jiang Tao, smiling cheerfully said:

"Haha, Young Jiang, now it's just the two of us, how about we drink a few too?"

Haha? Haha, my face!

Jiang Tao nearly uttered foul words, seeing Ye Xuan's smug grin made him grind his teeth, itching to beat up Ye Xuan.

But he managed to suppress this impulse, taking a deep breath, he argued: "We've already been drinking just now, so no need to drink again! I have some minor ailments, can't drink too much hard liquor."

He'd be foolish to drink, what if he got drunk, wouldn't his plans for the night be ruined! How would he pursue Liu Ying then?

"Ailments? Heh-heh! Young Jiang, perhaps it's due to issues downstairs that you can't drink?"

Ye Xuan smirked playfully, eyes moving to look at Jiang Tao's lower half.

Jiang Tao's mouth twitched, he said lightly: "Just a mild allergy to alcohol."

"Alcohol allergy? Tsk, a man not being able to drink is worse than a woman. The stronger the alcohol, the greater the passion. A true man ought to drink this hard liquor! Guess Young Jiang's life is rather dull, isn't it?"

Ye Xuan curled his lips, directly returning Jiang Tao's earlier words to him.

Young Jiang clenched his cheeks without uttering a word!

Just then, Ye Xuan couldn't be bothered to pretend any longer.

His expression shifted, the drunken demeanor vanished completely, his swaying body straightened! Right now, where was any trace of drunkenness? He looked more sober than anyone who hadn't drunk.

Witnessing this scene, Jiang Tao was initially stunned, immediately his eyes soberly narrowed, his gaze fixed on Ye Xuan: "You actually didn't get drunk?"

"Of course not, when did I say I was drunk?"

Ye Xuan looked at him with a rather amused expression: "With this little bit of wine trying to get me drunk? Even ten times more wouldn't be enough! Let me tell you, even if Ye brother drinks ten pounds of baijiu, I can drift a tank without any hindrance! So, have you recognized my prowess?"

"Then what about earlier…"

"Earlier? Heh-heh! Earlier was just fooling around with you, I was only pretending to be drunk! Let me be honest, every time someone wanted to challenge me to a drinking contest, they were afraid to drink with me by the end, leaving me unsatisfied and not enjoying myself!"

Ye Xuan's face exhibited cunning, smiling like a fox: "So, fearing you guys wouldn't want to drink with me, I had to pretend to lure you. Make you willingly seek me out for a drink, this way I get to enjoy myself."

"But who knew you guys could drink so poorly, I just started enjoying myself, and you're all down! This really is disappointing. You'd better practice another decade or so before challenging me again!"

Hearing this, Jiang Tao realized they'd truly been toyed by this punk!

He must have seen through their agenda long ago and purposefully pretended to be drunk to trick them.

This guy's truly insidious!

Jiang Tao's face was dark, he'd really been schemed by Ye Xuan! Luckily, he hadn't fallen for it, otherwise, had he recklessly competed in drinking, he'd probably be down for the count now too!

Humph, turns out you have some prowess, even if you claim a thousand cups without getting drunk!

Jiang Tao inwardly snorted, but even if your alcohol tolerance's superb, don't get too smug, this young master has other tricks up his sleeve. Since one plan failed, he prepared to unleash another!

Being a member of the Shangjing Crown Prince Party, this is his battlefield, Jiang Tao doesn't believe he can't handle Ye Xuan! For he has ample means.

Thinking like this, Jiang Tao didn't mind Ye Xuan anymore, putting on a phony smile, he said: "Brother Ye, didn't expect you to have such an excellent alcohol tolerance, it's truly admirable! As young master, I'm treated to quite a spectacle today."

"If my alcohol tolerance is ranked second, no one dares claim first!" Ye Xuan glanced at him, unabashedly boasting.

"Brother Ye, considering your unmatched alcohol capacity, it's not just about drinking, right? Why don't you try singing a couple of songs to spice up the atmosphere!"

Eyes flickered, Jiang Tao inwardly sneered, outwardly pretended to offer a good-natured suggestion.

"Indeed, Ye Xuan hurry up and sing a song, I've never heard you sing before!" Liu Ying immediately applauded merrily.

Ye Xuan eyed her, the meaning obvious — whose side are you on?

Liu Ying playfully stuck her tongue out, returned Ye Xuan a look, she simply wanted to hear him sing!

After contemplating briefly, Ye Xuan nodded indifferently: "Alright, I'll sing one song up there."

He wanted to see what tricks the opposition intended to pull!

"Great, great! Hurry up and sing then."

Liu Ying excitedly cheered, promptly placing her hands against Ye Xuan's back, unapologetically pushing him onto the stage.
