"Using Green Crag Brew to imitate Fallen Immortal?"

"I've heard of Green Crag Brew! If I remember correctly, its taste is similar with Fallen Immortal!"

"I've always trusted in the quality of the goods of Hongtian Pavilion. I would have never imagined that they would fool their customers like that!"

"This is a fraud! I will be reporting this to the academy so that an investigation will be conducted!"

...

The customers who were watching the commotion, upon hearing that they have been scammed, cry out indignantly.

"Just because you said that it is Green Crag Brew, doesn't mean that it would necessarily be it. Where's your evidence?" Manager Wu squeezes out these words between his gritted teeth.

Glancing at him, Zhang Xuan replies calmly, "Wine can be ignited with fire. I haven't touched much of the alcohol in it so you can ignite this one. The true Fallen Immortal should exude an alluring fragrance, similar to lilies and musk! On the other hand, for Green Crag Brew, a charred odor would be released. All those who have noses should be able to discern between the two easily!"

"You..."

Manager Wu's body goes stiff.

The other party's words are completely accurate. However, this method of distinguishing between the two isn't very well-known. Only the makers of Green Crag Brew and their vendors are aware of it. Even Wu Chou himself only heard of it coincidentally. How could this fellow know of this method as well?

Actually, the wine given to other customers are all true Fallen Immortal. After all, this is the trademark specialty of the tavern. After hearing Shang Bin's plan, he intentionally passed this fake wine over to the young man, thinking that he would be unable to discern between the two so that he would be able to make an earning out of this. In the end, not only is the other party aware of it, he is even able to state the method to distinguish between the two clearly!

If Zhang Xuan were to prove himself right, it would be difficult to explain to everyone that what they're drinking is the authentic Fallen Immortal!

"Why? You don't dare to give it a try?"

Seeing the look of panic on the other person's face, Zhang Xuan smiles faintly. He casually turns the wine bottle over, allowing the wine to spill onto the floor. Then, he takes out an ignitable paper roll and snaps his fingers.

Xiong xiong!

When the wine on the floor comes into contact with the flames, it lights up and instantaneously, a stinging odor assaults the noses of the crowd, leaving them faint-headed.

"How pungent! This was what we were drinking?"

"Hongtian Pavilion really doesn't respect their customers!"

"For it to be so pungent, it must be poisonous..."

"Refund, refund! I've been drinking your wine here for three years. Not only do I want you to return it all back to me, I want additional compensation as well!"

...

The entire tavern explodes into an uproar.

Everyone rushes forward.

"What... What is happening?"

Cao Xiong and Shang Bin feels like they are going mad by the sudden turn of events.

They had specially set up this ploy to humiliate Zhang Xuan. In the end, not only was he not humiliated, he even managed to stand out instead!

Instead, they were shamed like clowns!

"What is happening... What is happening your head!"

By the side, manager Wu had just barely kept his emotions in check, but upon hearing those words, he loses control and kicks them both.

Peng! Peng!

He is a Fighter 6-dan Pixue realm expert. Before the two of them could even react, the sight before them goes dark and they crash onto the ground. A giant footprint is left on each of their faces.

It is no wonder that manager Wu would go berserk. If it weren't for these two fellows, such an incident would not have occurred!

He can already foresee that not only will his career come to an end, he would also have to face the rage of Elder Hong Hao!

After this incident, Hongtian Pavilion's reputation would definitely go into the gutters and their business would no longer be as prosperous as before.

The cause of this entire incident is him accepting the request of these two fellows to teach the lad, who is last in the Teacher Qualification Examination, a lesson!

How can it be possible for this lad to be the last? Even the first in the examinations can't possibly be so incredible!

If only he knew in advance that this master had such powerful eyes of discernment... Not only would he have not caused Zhang Xuan any trouble, he would have been praying for him to not cause him any!

Damn it!

"Looks like there isn't anyone free to collect money from us right now, let's go!"

Seeing how the situation has descended into chaos, Zhang Xuan signals to Shen Bi Ru, who is still in a state of daze, and walks out of the tavern.

Now that the problem has been settled, staying here would just result in more troubles. Thus, it would wiser for them to simply leave.

"Un!"

Shen Bi Ru hurriedly catches up to him. Seeing the young man in front her, her eyes are filled with complex emotions.

All along, she thought that he is a trash, an ignorant fellow who is the shame of the teaching community!

After half a day of interaction, she realized that... if he is a trash, then what is she?

Doesn't it mean that she is nothing at all?

Gritting her teeth, she walks up. With disbelief still reflecting within her beautiful pitch black eyes, she asks, "You seem to be quite knowledgeable about food. Could it be that... you're a gourmet?"
