With Xu Haishui's voice, the banquet fell into a brief silence, only to be eased by Miao Luo's hearty laughter.
Xu Haishui's words had already made it clear he didn't want to hear any more of the nonsense Miao Luo was spouting.
Miao Luo's smile gradually disappeared, turning serious. He took a sip of his drink, then set the cup back down on the table.
Following Miao Luo's action, the faces of the Dongsheng Co-governance members who had come with him all showed a shock, devoid of their prior jesting.
Miao Luo leaned on the table, his face slightly reddened by the aroma of alcohol, as he looked at Xu Haishui. It was unclear how much Xu Haishui had drunk; it seemed alcohol had no effect on him. He appeared the same as he had before he arrived.
