<strong>Chapter 1623: Chapter 1353: The Master Will Prevail! (3rd Update)</strong>


    All the guests watched Mo Xin, and looking at the cocktail shaker on the table beside her, they couldn’t help but swallow and unconsciously took two steps forward.


    No shy techniques, nothing profound, yet because it was the final “test,” prepared for a Great Master and an unidentified young man, that liquor was especially captivating.


    At this moment, the liquor was like a treasure hidden in a mystery box, stirring a restless excitement in everyone’s heart.


    Someone once said, the best moment of tasting something delicious is right before you eat, when imagination and aroma stimte the brain, allowing you to envision ten thousand possibilities, each one potentially manifesting. That is the utmost enjoyment.


    And now, every guest was somewhat in that state.


    Bai Xiaosheng and Master Owen walked over, each followed by a group of people.


    Following Bai Xiaosheng were Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, Milos, and Allen.


    Behind Master Owen were Antonio, Feng Moyu, and Feng Moyan.


    Seeing them approach, Mo Xin picked up the cocktail shaker with her slender, fair jade-like hand, gently unscrewed it, and poured the liquor into two crystal sses.


    The amber liquor tumbled into the clear and sparkling crystal sses, with no hint of a mixed drink feeling. It was pure, it was crisp, and in its swirling movement, it intoxicated the heart.


    In an instant, a seemingly nonexistent yet paradoxically “clear” liquor aroma wafted out, making hearts ripple, the sensation clear, profound, even to the point of “intensity.”


    Ice cubes made from distilled water and mineral water were ced in the liquor and removed within ten seconds by Mo Xin with bamboo tongs, discarded.


    The liquor’s aroma was restrained, its color purer.


    Master Owen’s eyes narrowed slightly with surprise.


    Even Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but praise, “Good wine!”


    The crowd following them was all amazed, their eyes fixed attentively.


    “Please, both of you, have a taste,” Mo Xin said with a smile.


    Master Owen’s expression was serious, carefully holding the ss, his eyes shining with a peculiar light.


    Mo Xin was referred to as the most promising bartender since her teacher, rumored to be a divine beauty bartender by outsiders.


    But at Master Owen’s level, such titles seemed downrightughable!


    What “divine beauty bartender”? Just an empty name bestowed by outsiders. The association had no such grading, nor would they recognize it.


    And thesemon people outside focused more on the “beauty” part!


    The rest were just gimmicks!


    As for the word “divine,” how divine could it be, even more so than a master or a Great Master!


    Mo Xin originally possessed the “Encounter” form, a wless version undergoing multiple refinements. If she imed it as her own, it would support her rank and status in the association.


    Yet she imed the form wasn’t hers; it belonged to an Easterner named “Bai something.”


    Of course, many people only remembered the word “Bai,” referring to that young man over there.


    It’s said Antonio remembered the full name and even traveled east to seek it out.


    Master Owen had no patience to remember an Asian’s name. To him, thatplicated Chinese name wasn’t worth exerting his mental energy on.


    What interested Master Owen was the “Encounter” form!


    This time, as he coborated with Mo Xin, a significant part of his intention was directed towards acquiring the form, but unfortunately, he achieved nothing from start to finish.


    However, at the moment, holding the ss from Mo Xin, Master Owen suddenly had a feeling of excitement, smelling the aroma, he could ascertain that this liquor was likely on par with “Encounter”!


    Bai Xiaosheng usedmon ingredients to mix up an “A-level” peak wine, even reaching the edge of “S-level.”


    Yet Mo Xin publicly used technical means to enhance and purify the raw materials, then refined them throughplicated steps, giving the entire drink a qualitative transformation and elevation!


    There’s a myth in the East that Master Owen knew of.


    It’s about a fish that surpassed an apparently insurmountable gate and transformed into a dragon.


    This cup of liquor could possibly be such a thing, turning into a dragon, bing an “S-level” exquisite wine!


    The most regrettable thing was that upon first seeing Mo Xin’s operation, he only recorded seven or eight parts, missing the most crucial two or three parts.


    A slight difference can lead to a significant error.


    Moreover, without remembering two or three parts, even someone like him, a Great Master, found it hard to replicate.


    Master Owen admired the amber liquor glow with a wine tasters’ finesse, appreciating the color, viscosity, and purity, all aligning with his desires.


    Immediately, Master Owen sniffed the liquor aroma.


    The delicate aromas lingered in his mind, intoxicating him even before tasting the wine!


    The present guests were silent, their breathing audible, watching the master’s every move, seeing him bring the crystal ss to his lips, and gently take a sip.


    In an instant, Master Owen’s expression changed incessantly, showing amazement, disbelief, intoxication, and admiration, utterly remarkable.


    After tasting, Master Owen again pursed his lips slightly, repeating the expression all over again.


    The faint sounds of gulping spread across the room immediately.


    Smelling the aroma and watching the master’s expression while tasting the wine was enough to make every guest feel an itch in their hearts.


    Inparison to Master Owen, Bai Xiaosheng’s way of drinking seemed “vulgar.”


    He did not even take a good look at the wine color or smell its fragrance but instead drank it all in one gulp after a mere nce, truly showing a bull eating peony, swallowing without tasting!


    Those who saw Bai Xiaosheng behaving like this frowned deeply, eyes brimming with strong disapproval, feeling increasingly that the master was the one worthy of tasting that fine wine!


    Most uneptable was Bai Xiaosheng slightly puffing out his cheeks as if letting the wine swirl around in his mouth before swallowing it in one go.


    Beside him, Feng Moyu and Feng Moyan, who had been closely watching their reactions, felt a shiver of disgust.


    “Vulgar! Is this wine tasting?” Feng Moyu said with disdain.


    “This practically taints Miss Mo Xin’s celestial brew!” Feng Moyan also frowned.


    Despite their anger, the pair couldn’t help but exchange a nce, with a hint of delight in their eyes.


    This means Master Owen has won!


    Though the result was already a certainty before, witnessing this scene made them feel the oue was finally settled.


    Thinking of this guy being thoroughly defeated, humiliated, and even having to hand over his most precious recipe, the siblings felt an indescribable excitement!


    All the guests around shared their resentment towards Bai Xiaosheng.


    Antonio also looked at Bai Xiaosheng, unable to keep from frowning slightly, then sighed softly.


    He also did not expect Bai Xiaosheng to waste the treasure in such a way, immediately losing his expectations for him.


    Beside Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged surprised nces, knowing Bai Xiaosheng would not make such a low-level mistake, especially not with Mo Xin’s masterpiece, as it should not be treated like this.


    Besides, this was the final round of thepetition.


    If lost, Mo Xin would have to fulfill the agreement, resulting in heavy losses, with Bai Xiaosheng losing the recipe as well.


    Bai Xiaosheng would definitely not let that happen!


    It was precisely knowing this that Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were bewildered by Bai Xiaosheng’s actions.


    Could Bai Xiaosheng be doing it deliberately so that when he interprets it in a moment, it would seem incredible, making him look remarkable?


    But is Bai Xiaosheng such a high-profile person?


    No!


    Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying pondered over it repeatedly but still could not make sense of it, deciding not to think about it and wait patiently.


    After all, there would be a result eventually.


    Beside them, Milos also watched, looking puzzled.


    Allen, however, looked anxiously at Bai Xiaosheng, as thest thing he wanted to see was Bai Xiaosheng losing, and losing so miserably.


    Regarding Master Owen, whom he had always admired and finally had the chance to serve as his master, he instead seemed to pay little attention to him.


    It was just a wine tasting event, yet Allen’s mindset quietly changed, unbeknownst to himself.


    Finally, Mo Xin looked at Bai Xiaosheng and Master Owen, gesturing an invitation for them to interpret her wine.


    This time, Master Owen took the stage without hesitation, speaking before Bai Xiaosheng, “This wine uses a blend of base wine, Huaxia Baijiu, syrup, and six types of fresh fruits and vegetables… Ultimately, all the ingredients meld into one, the proportion is truly exquisite… As for the taste, it is divided into threeyers: smooth, rough, and mellow, presenting an incredible ebb and flow, eachyer having numerous subtle changes…”


    Master Owen eloquently discussed for five minutes without interruption, even gesturing expressively at passionate moments.


    The guests were entranced by his words.


    “This wine is undoubtedly ‘S-ss’!” Finally, Master Owen loudly dered his conclusion.


    Apuse, all around, exploded into a stunning ovation.


    The master spoke so well, his analysis thorough and unmatched!


    Feng Moyu and Feng Moyan apuded with all their might, at the same time mocking Bai Xiaosheng.


    The master’sment was tooprehensive, too detailed, and too wless!


    What more can you say!


    Thispetition, the master will surely win!
