Azure Dragon held a cup in hand, savoring the look of Zhu Ruyan, "Miss Ruyan truly lives up to her reputation, indeed a ravishing beauty!"
Zhu Ruyan remained silent for a moment, "Thank you for the compliment, young master!"
"Come, drink this cup!" Azure Dragon passed her a cup of wine.
Zhu Ruyan trembled slightly, then stretched out her delicate hand, took the cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
"What a drinker!" Azure Dragon clapped in admiration, "I heard that Miss Ruyan came from a place of ill repute, I didn't believe it. But seeing her capacity for wine today, I now know the rumors were true."
The remark was a veiled insult, grating to the ears.
Zhu Ruyan's complexion turned slightly pale, but she only said softly, "The young master jests."
Zhu Lei, wanting to smooth things over, hurriedly said with a smile, "Sir, my junior sister only ended up in that place because of a great misfortune that befell her family. She emerged from the mud unsoiled and remained pure."
