Chapter 243 A Night of Revelry, Mu Nujiao's Thoughts
At the moment the World University Competition concluded, numerous news reports emerged throughout China and even globally regarding China's victory in the competition.
These news stories quickly dominated major media platforms such as the internet, television, and newspapers, resembling a sudden information storm.
"The ancient dragon of the East has begun to awaken!"
"No wonder it's the number one country in Asia!"
"The resource monopoly of the four great magical empires has finally been broken!"
The Chinese people cheered and celebrated, while people from other countries marveled at the strength of their nation.
On the very night of their victory, the Chinese national badminton team personally funded a culinary feast in Venice.
The five mentors wisely chose not to participate in this party that belonged to the younger generation.
Nan Rongni, who occupies a substitute position but has never had a chance to play, was naturally not among those invited by Huayu.
At this time, Nan Jue's injuries had basically healed, but Guan Yu, although he had received treatment from a healing mage, was still as pale as paper.
External injuries are easy to heal, but the weakness caused by excessive blood loss still requires several days of recuperation.
However, as soon as he heard that Hua Yu was hosting a banquet, he jumped out of bed and ran over on crutches.
The officials couldn't stop him even if they wanted to, so they let him go.
Hua Yu didn't feel much aversion towards Guan Yu.
As long as a person knows their limits, they may make a fuss over small things, but they will never cause trouble on important matters, that's enough.
At a dinner party of eleven people, alcohol is naturally indispensable.
They ate meat and drank wine heartily. Even the two girls, Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao, did not refuse to drink. As for Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Jue, it goes without saying that one of them loved to play and the other was a military mages. Which one of them had not been exposed to this kind of thing?
Everyone was in high spirits, and by the end, everyone had drunk quite a bit.
"Junior brother, come and add some more wine for your senior brother, hiccup~~~"
Jiang Yu's face was flushed, and the lenses of his glasses were already fogged up. At this moment, he was leaning close to Hua Yu and said arrogantly.
Alcohol emboldens the timid, and some things that they usually want to do but dare not do, they do unconsciously under the influence of alcohol.
Although Pang Lai doesn't practice the traditional apprenticeship system, a long time ago, when Jiang Yu first heard that his master had taken on a new disciple, he made up his mind to help this fellow disciple whom he had never met.
That's practically my junior brother!
Therefore, when he saw that his "junior brother's" strength was far superior to his own, he locked himself in his room for a whole month.
He became withdrawn!
From that time on, whether in front of Pang Lai or Hua Yu, he never joked with his fellow disciples again.
Today, the Chinese team won the championship, and he was already excited. He also drank too much and subconsciously called out this name to the Chinese national badminton team.
Before Hua Yu could react, Guan Yu, who was sitting next to her, threw his cane on the ground, raised his wine glass, and stood up.
"drink!"
Throughout the entire dinner tonight, Guan Yu kept helping Hua Yu fend off drinks.
As the team captain, Hua Yu was supposed to accept everyone's toasts in turn, but thanks to Guan Yu's help, he barely managed to maintain his last bit of sobriety.
At this moment, Guan Yu, who was already quite drunk, couldn't hear what Jiang Yu was saying at all. He only vaguely heard the word "wine," so he reflexively stood up to shield Hua Yu from the wine.
How could Jiang Yu possibly bear to see this?
Although it can't beat Hua Yu, it should be more than enough to deal with Guan Yu, right?
Jiang Yu immediately stood up, picked up a bottle of wine, put his arm around Guan Yu's neck, and planned to go to the side with him for a one-on-one drinking contest.
"Wait a minute, let me grab a cane first!" Guan Yu said urgently.
The noise around him made Hua Yu rub his ears. He looked up and saw that some people were playing drinking games and others were competing to see who could drink the most alcohol. He couldn't help but smile.
"This has really gone a bit too far!"
Participating in the World University Competition essentially means that everyone has graduated.
They are all high-level mages, and among the strongest young mages in the world. Do you expect them to go back to school and show off?
Graduation means that everyone is about to enter society, and the leisurely days like before are probably not so many days left.
Hua Yu leaned back in her seat, slowly beginning to think about what she needed to do next.
Upon closer inspection, Hua Yu realized that there were indeed quite a few things waiting for him to handle upon his return. Thinking of this, Hua Yu couldn't help but frown.
What a hassle!
"What are you thinking about?"
Just then, a clear, crisp sound rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a faint, delicate fragrance, mixed with the aroma of Venetian-style fruit liqueur, wafted into Hua Yu's nostrils.
Although Hua Yu couldn't reach Zhao Manyan's level of recognizing women by their scent, he still remembered the scents of the women around him.
"It's nothing."
Hua Yu straightened up and glanced at the woman next to him whose face was slightly flushed.
Slightly tipsy, she exuded an alluring charm, and the accidentally opened neckline subtly revealed a deep cleavage.
Occasionally, a drop of wine that drips from the corner of his mouth will even flow down that deep groove.
For a moment, one didn't know whether to lean in to smell the aroma of the wine or the unique fragrance of the deep ravine.
"Since you're alright, why don't you have a drink with me?"
Mu Nujiao smiled slightly, gently touched her wine glass to Hua Yu's glass, and then tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Hua Yu had something on her mind, but so did she.
After returning, she could either go back to the Mu family and become a representative of the Mu family, taking over some of the family businesses, or she could rely on her current achievements to go out and make a living. But no matter which path she took, she would inevitably have to marry into another family in the end.
champion?
That just gives the Mu family more leverage, allowing them to have more options when choosing marriage partners!
However, this also gave her more options.
Hua Yu glanced at Mu Nujiao, said nothing, and just kept her company, drinking cup after cup.
The wine that Guan Yu had blocked was returned to Mu Nu Jiao here.
When everyone finished drinking and left, Zhao Manyan had already dragged Mo Fan into some alley.
Jiang Yu carried the fish and the wine bottle, ready to go back and fight a few more rounds.
Although the girls were all drunk, they didn't give the other boys any chance.
Even Mu Ningxue, who had some affection for Mo Fan, still chose to believe in Hua Yu at this time.
She didn't believe Mo Fan could resist touching her inappropriately at a time like this!
Accompanied by Hua Yu, the women returned to their respective rooms.
When he returned to his room, he saw that there was someone standing at his door.
"I've acquired another batch of resources and I'd like to exchange them with you."
