What Xu Ke did, right after turning around with Master Jintong, was quite simple. He whispered in Master Jintong's ear, "Master, I possess the Myriad Path Dragon King's Myriad Path Dragon Bloodline. I can identify what constitutes a royal treasure..."
When he said this, Master Jintong was clearly stunned.
To make matters worse for the Master, Xu Ke subtly vibrated his True Qi, causing the Bronze Wine Chalice to emit a faint red glow. However, because the amount of Dragon Essence on the Bronze Wine Chalice was not very high, the glow was not as eye-catching as the engagement ring from Wong Qifu, which shone as brightly as an incandescent lamp.
Xu Ke's initial thought process was straightforward. Logically speaking, Master Jintong wasn't wrong. But with Wong Qifu backing him, Xu Ke couldn't afford to lose face in Sui City, much less let Shi Hongda get his way. His only option was to use the Dragon Essence to bluff Master Jintong.
