Jin Wei saw Yu Daohen's lazy demeanor and clearly felt looked down upon.
He glanced at the little ghost beside him and gave it a look.
The little ghost shook its head fearfully, not daring to approach Yu Daohen.
Yu Daohen calmly observed the little ghost next to Jin Wei, noting that it seemed to be specially raised.
Such little ghosts were usually raised to be sold to wealthy individuals.
They were forbidden from speaking, only able to obey their master's commands, and could not even reincarnate.
These little ghosts possessed very weak combat power, with the strongest only reaching the level of a vengeful spirit, differing from the true meaning of raising little ghosts.
However, such little ghosts were banned by the Supernatural Bureau twenty years ago due to their cruel methods, and were disdained by those in the martial world.
Seeing that the little ghost refused to advance, Jin Wei's expression turned slightly displeased.
The little ghost, sensing its master's anger, mustered its courage and floated towards Yu Daohen.
"Ugh!" A trace of killing intent flashed in Yu Daohen's eyes.
The little ghost was instantly terrified and retreated again.
Zhao Ling, standing beside them, saw Yu Daohen's expression suddenly become solemn and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Daohen shook his head and smiled faintly, "Nothing, I thought there was a bit of glass shard in this cup, seems I was mistaken."
Zhao Ling, seeing Yu Daohen's reluctance to elaborate, didn't press further, but she knew he hadn't been looking at the wine glass at all, but at Jin Wei.
More accurately, he was looking at the air beside Jin Wei.
It had to be said, Zhao Ling's observational skills were truly remarkable; even the slightest movement couldn't escape her eyes.
Jin Wei's expression turned serious as he saw his raised little ghost actually dare not advance.
Normally, no matter who he told to advance, they would obediently rush forward, but what was happening today?
A thought suddenly crossed Jin Wei's mind, but he quickly shook his head.
Impossible, how could Yu Daohen be someone from this line of work?
Absolutely impossible!
Seeing Jin Wei remain silent, Yu Daohen raised his wine glass slightly, "Old classmate, why aren't you speaking?"
Pulled back to reality by Yu Daohen, Jin Wei forced an unnatural smile, "It's nothing, I'll drink mine, you do as you please."
Yu Daohen let out a dismissive chuckle, took a casual sip, and then placed the glass down on the entire bar.
At this moment, his aura instantly elevated by a notch, and he chuckled inwardly.
When I was showing off, you were still playing with your Famicom.
This wasn't Yu Daohen bragging. While there were indeed many stronger than him, when it came to showing off.
He dared to claim second place in this martial world, and likely no one would dare claim first.
The people around saw Jin Wei back down and were all bewildered.
The Yang Mai trio was particularly incredulous.
What the hell was going on?
This wasn't Jin Wei's usual style.
Shouldn't he have retorted in this situation?
Zhao Ling looked at Yu Daohen's solemn expression; she had been watching their every move.
But why did Jin Wei suddenly back down?
Personal strength, power, money, connections...
Men's competitions invariably boiled down to these things.
Among them, personal strength was primary, and money secondary.
As the saying goes, money is a man's courage; once a person has money, their back straightens, much like this fellow Jin Wei.
But this was secondary.
Money was important, but ultimately it was an external force.
If two people fought, money wouldn't let you take fewer punches, but a strong body could let you land more punches.
Compared to Jin Wei, Yu Daohen clearly had the advantage, but why did he back down?
Yu Daohen slowly stopped, showing no joy on his face, as if it were a matter of course.
Yang Mai's face broke into a smile, and he raised his wine glass to Yu Daohen, "Brother Yu, it's been a while, let me toast you."
Yu Daohen raised his wine glass and took a sip, his lips curving upwards.
When someone toasted him, he knew the protagonist of this dinner had changed.
Showing off was like fighting; as long as you took down the strongest one, you became the strongest among them.
However, Yu Daohen's attention was not on Jin Wei.
He didn't even bother with minor characters like Jin Wei. He cared about Zhao Ling beside him.
Although this young lady hadn't spoken a word from beginning to end, her all-seeing observational skill was truly terrifying.
If she entered this line of work, she would surely achieve great things.
With her terrifying observational skills, she could thrive in anything she did.
The dinner continued, but after that small interlude, Jin Wei remained silent.
As the dinner neared its end, everyone was full of food and drink.
Someone once said.
People shouldn't eat too much, or they'll get bored and look for trouble.
This is also known as having too much time on one's hands.
Gao Liang, standing nearby, suddenly spoke, "It's only half past eleven, and we'll just be sleeping if we go home, why don't we go exploring?"
Yang Mai glanced at Gao Liang and instantly understood what he meant, agreeing, "Okay, okay, let's go exploring in the suburbs."
Hearing this, Yu Daohen was instantly speechless.
Eight out of ten people who die prematurely bring it upon themselves.
Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to go home, take a bath, and lie comfortably in bed like a salted fish?
Yu Daohen opened his mouth to refuse, "You guys go ahead, I won't be going."
Seeing that Yu Daohen wasn't going, Gao Liang was inwardly delighted, but he still feigned a regretful expression, "Brother Yu, since we're all free, why don't you come exploring with us?"
Gao Liang desperately wished Yu Daohen would leave quickly, preferably taking Jin Wei with him.
That way, he would have no rivals.
Jin Wei was also pleased to see Yu Daohen not going.
It seemed he could still get Zhao Ling and Shi Yuqian tonight.
Hearing Gao Liang's words, Yu Daohen, who had just stood up, sat back down, a smile on his face, "Fine, since you've put it that way, how can I dampen the mood? I'll go with you."
"Ah... this..." Gao Liang was instantly rendered speechless, feeling miserable.
Brother, I was just being polite, why did you take it seriously?
Jin Wei looked at Gao Liang with a dark expression, as if to say, what the hell are you showing off about.
How could Yu Daohen not know what Gao Liang was thinking? He simply couldn't stand his showing off.
If you're ugly, shut up and don't speak, otherwise, being slapped in the face really hurts.
The scene fell into silence, and Yang Mai and the others remained wordless.
Seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, Yu Daohen stood up and said with a smile.
"Alright, I'm really not going, you guys go ahead."
After speaking, he walked out of the private room without regard for Gao Liang's expression.
As he passed Jin Wei, he suddenly stopped, placed a hand on his shoulder, and whispered into his ear, "You should have also realized that I'm someone from this line of work. If you dare to use this little ghost to harm my old classmate, you'll face the consequences."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Daohen's tone suddenly turned cold, threatening, "You probably don't want to be refined into this kind of little ghost, do you?"
