Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks, looked up at the scruffy old man flying in the air, and said indifferently, "Gai, you should know that I never go back on my word."
He came to this place, naturally to discuss matters with Gai Dao.
However, without saying a word, Gai Dao used the wine inside that gourd to test him. With Ye Xuan's understanding of Gai, he knew what this meant.
Purely a test.
A test to see if Ye Xuan still has the qualifications to work with him.
Ye Xuan used his actions to prove he is still the Undying Night Emperor.
Even though Ye Xuan knew Gai Dao's true intention, it doesn't mean Ye Xuan agrees with this approach.
Because long ago, the two had more than one interaction.
If such a test was during the first encounter, it would be understandable.
But to do so now can be seen as 'kicking someone when they're down'.
"To repay a visit with no return is impolite."
Since you tested me, I must also test you.
