"Then thank you, City Lord," Ye Tian said with a faint smile. "Are those your attendants? Why don't they join us for a drink? It doesn't seem right for them to just stand there."
"That won't be necessary for them," City Lord Xue Jinshan said with a smile, his eyes ceaselessly sizing up Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan. "I came today specifically to get acquainted with you two. We've been talking for some time, yet I still don't know your name or where you're from, young man."
"City Lord, let's toast before we talk!" Ye Tian said. "Since you're being so sincere, allow me to drink first to show my respect." After speaking, he raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.
When City Lord Xue Jinshan heard this, he felt too embarrassed to refuse. He also raised his wine cup, preparing to drink. Just as the cup touched his lips, the shopkeeper shouted,
"City Lord, don't drink it! There's poison in the wine!"
