The young man is thin and looks so weak, face also not as handsome, but the red eyes look enchanting. He is the most decent on this group of experts despite him not giving off any spiritual energy.He is wearing white robe laced with blue, the cloth is just the average mortal would wear. This is the merchant that probably just followed these experts by coincidence. Li Huan felt disappointed but never the less she needs to show her good side.
"Merchant Lan is it?" she said with a sweet and accommodating smile which "Merchant Lan" returned as well. "At last, someone who is really a man!" Li Huan thoughts, due to this she did not notice that the wine is already spilling from the cup.
The wine from the cup messed the wooden table and some of it flowed through Gao Lan Mei who stood up quickly to move away before she gets wet from it.
Due to the sudden action, Li Huan was accidentally pushed back and flop to the floor, "Ah!" she screamed, the wine jar she was holding also fell as well and shattered after it hit the marble floor.
"Stupid!" Give it to Gao Shen to first call out an insult. The rest did not mind and just continue enjoying the food and not minding.
The servants helped Li Huan to stand up, a part of her robe was wet with wine. "I am sorry." She said looking pitiful as her eyes are glistering with impending tears.
"Are you alright?" Merchant Lan asked with an indifferent tone, Li Huan is grateful for the help somehow.
Nodding, "Yes, thank you so much." gratefully smile. "Hand me the other jar," she said with the intention to still serve wine. Truthfully, even if she feels that refusal is to mock her, she will not show that she is affected by it.
She tried to offer wine to the others on the table with Gao Shen, except for the man himself that already explicitly voiced out his contempt to her presence. "Why is he even here? He is just nuisance!" Li Huan thoughts, while maintaining her innocent smile.
After getting the last refusal, Li Huan did not give up and went to the next table where Xi Jun is slumped still on his sit while unconscious.
She can feel that she is being made fun of, but still courageous enough to try serving Hai Hai.
When she came close to him, the stoic man frowned, "No." he said, but it seems this was ignored by Li Huan.
Smiling sweetly, "Please Expert Hai, try this wine, it"s one of the very best in the entire empire. Surely there is no harm trying right?" she said encouragingly, probably forgetting that the same man is the one who threatened to kill the guards. Whatever she ate earlier might have caused her to be stupid.
"Deaf." Hai Hai answered and shake his head. Someone laughed at this, then another followed until everyone did the same.
Li Huan looked at Chen Yun Ming who she saw also laughing, that"s when she suddenly snapped, "You mock me Chen Yun Ming? After all, I did for you?!" she shouted, tears running down from her eyes.
Instead of getting mad as he used to when Li Huan did not show respect, Chen Yun Ming only laughed. The laughter got louder and louder until she cannot take it anymore!
"Stop!" covering her ears, knees falling to the ground. "Stop laughing!"
