Chapter 331 Purpose
When Lin Zhao removed the soundproofing array and opened the door, You Li was standing outside with his arms crossed, gazing at the scenery. Seeing Lin Zhao open the door, he asked, "Finished chatting?"

Lin Zhao felt unlucky just looking at his face, but didn't intend to show it too obviously. She simply turned to the side and said, "We're done talking, thank you."

Youli walked into the room and sat in her original spot. She saw that Qu Shu looked more relaxed and composed than when she was sitting there, and suddenly felt a little jealous.

Actually, he did have a chance back then...

However, in order to gain greater power and live a better life, he rejected the seemingly weak system and was unwilling to seek out the so-called weak Daoist partner destined for him in his star orbit.

After repeated failures, it was only natural for him to choose to cooperate with those guys and become the master of the Seven Star Palace.

but……

Even if some of his star trails landed on Qu Shu, so what?

As if struck by a thought, You Li glanced at Qu Shu with a hint of pity. However, he concealed it well, and Qu Shu didn't notice at all. Lin Zhao, on the other hand, looked at him with extremely cold eyes.

"Little girl, why do I feel like you have murderous intent towards my descendant?" The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon in Lin Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness asked somewhat uncertainly.

Lin Zhao suppressed her coldness, lowered her eyes, took a sip of warm tea, and suppressed the chill in her eyes.

“If he doesn’t look at Qu Shu with that strange gaze, I can play along with him. But if he dares to do anything to Qu Shu, even if he is the crown prince of the Ancient Dragon Clan, I dare to kill him.”

Qu Shu's time outside seemed to be limited. After exchanging a few words with You Li about the handover of matters between the two clans, he left.

As soon as Qu Shu left, You Li and Lin Zhao changed the tea to the spirit liquor that the spirits drink.

Lin Zhao harbored hostility, while You Li had ulterior motives. The two of them poured dozens of cups into each other's drinks, yet neither of them showed the slightest sign of drunkenness. They immediately felt that they had met their match.

"Bring a different bowl," You Li said to the young man who was leading Lin Zhao. "A big bowl!"

Lin Zhao raised her hand to stop him: "Hey? What do you need a bowl for? Just bring the wine jar over, we'll drink it jar by jar!"

Anyway, she wasn't short of money for drinks, so getting the other person drunk would at least allow her to vent her anger.

Moreover, this wine has the effect of nourishing the spirit and soul, so in all things considered, she came out ahead.

Upon hearing this, the young man couldn't help but advise, "Although this wine has the effect of nourishing the soul, drinking just one jar is enough to knock out an ordinary cultivator. Young Master and Miss Ling'er have already drunk two jars. If they drink any more, their souls will probably be drunk for half a year."

Lin Zhao didn't take it seriously. She had developed a strong alcohol tolerance when she was twelve years old and was on a mission in the mortal realm. Over the years, she had never seen anyone who could outdrink her!

"If I'm not afraid, your young master certainly won't be afraid either. Go get the wine."

When Youli met Lin Zhao's provocative gaze, she smiled gently: "Youli will naturally risk her life to accompany Miss Ling'er."

Lin Zhao choked for a moment: "Don't make that face when you're drinking, or I'll feel like throwing up."

The smile on Youli's face slowly faded. When the young man went to get the wine, the smile on his face was completely gone. When he wasn't smiling, his temperament was somewhat similar to Lin Zhao's, but he was more gloomy. His eyes didn't have the same firm light as Lin Zhao's, but they were more profound.

"You look better like this." Lin Zhao took another sip of wine and asked, "What do you plan to do by calling me here?"

Youli said, "I want to see how you explain my situation to Qu Shu."

Lin Zhao didn't understand his thought process: "Why do I need to explain anything to him?"

You Li, who was full of wicked thoughts, didn't mind revealing a little at this moment: "Qu Shu has a Daoist partner contract with you. You were brought here by my people, and you have a close relationship with me. Won't he care?"

Lin Zhao was utterly astonished by the other person's thought process: "A genius."

How could Qu Shu care about that? The wine jars were also set out over there, and Lin Zhao and You Li took turns drinking them, chugging them down their throats.

In the end, Youli couldn't hold on any longer, her hand went limp, and she put the wine jar on the table.

Lin Zhao had noticed something was wrong with his hand before this, so she moved away from him on her own.

Perhaps because he was drunk, Youli made no attempt to hide his thoughts: "You made me drink because of Qu Shu?"

Lin Zhao crossed her long legs and sat opposite You Li, ignoring him.

“You are very perceptive.” Youli also sat down, pressing his head, feeling his consciousness somewhat unsteady: “But you can’t fight against anyone, you can’t fight against anyone. Only by adapting can you survive.”

Lin Zhao ordered You Li's men to bring over some hangover tea, and watched You Li mutter to himself without saying a word.

She was actually quite drunk, but because she knew how to pretend, she appeared to be in much better condition than Youli.

If I hadn't been good at pretending, I don't know how much I would have suffered back then.

Once the effects of the alcohol had subsided somewhat, Lin Zhao circulated the Phoenix Vein Technique to sober up, and then said, "Although I don't remember my relationship with Qu Shu, even if we weren't Daoist partners, he once helped me on the Heavenly Phoenix Continent. Today, even if it wasn't Qu Shu, but any of my friends, I would treat you the same way."

Whether Youli was asleep or not, he didn't say anything when he heard this. Suddenly, he looked up at the window, his eyes a little red.

Lin Zhao said, "Your people will be here to serve you soon. What purpose did you have in calling me here besides to see Qu Shu? If you don't tell me, I'm leaving."

Youli said, "Don't reject the Seven Star Palace, and don't use this power to eliminate evil thoughts from another world."

Lin Zhao's eyes flickered for a moment: "Why?"

Youli smiled wryly: "Why ask me when you can guess the answer yourself?"

Lin Zhao stood up and waved his hand: "I'll let bygones be bygones for what you said today. See you at Wolong Valley. We can be considered friends."

After Lin Zhao left, the young man came over with a cup of hangover tea and poured it for You Li: "Young Master, what about this Zhao Ling'er..."

Youli was so drunk that he waved for him to leave. When he was alone in the private room, he lay on the chair and almost threw up.

In fact, if his cultivation hadn't reached the late Nascent Soul stage, he really wouldn't have dared to say these things to Lin Zhao.

Because those guys are always watching.

However, whether it's telling the truth or being jealous of Qu Shu, it can all be categorized as jealousy of Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao is right, he and Lin Zhao are too similar.

Moreover, in their early years, both he and Lin Zhao had been persecuted by evil thoughts from another world.

Why are there two people in the world who are so similar, yet take completely different paths?
Lin Zhao is exactly the kind of person he wanted to be, but she is the complete opposite.

"This kind of person..." Youli lowered her eyes.

It's either destroyed by him, or it has to be his.

He was jealous of Lin Zhao, longed for Lin Zhao, and ultimately wanted to become Lin Zhao.

Since I can't become it, I might as well destroy it completely after I get it.
