Sherman chuckled when he heard Vincent's answer and added, "Very well."
Then, he took out a little jade vial and said secretively, "Senior Brother, you mentioned that Senior Sister Gigi drank quite a bit at the banquet earlier. Later, tell her that you're sending her some hangover soup and mix this into it.
"Once she takes a sip, she'll quickly become unconscious. Then, you can do whatever you want. Even if she wakes up and feels unwell, she'd think it was caused by drinking, so she wouldn't suspect you."
After that, Sherman passed the jade vial to Vincent.
'This…'
Holding the jade vial, Vincent felt doubtful and furrowed his brows. "Is that a good idea?"
Though he was always arrogant and domineering, he had a good conscience deep down.
'Plus, Master has already approved the marriage and said that he'd propose the marriage at the Pure Yang Division on his own. If I fail to force myself on Sister Gigi tonight and if I get exposed, we'd never get together.'
Seeing Vincent hesitate, Sherman became anxious and he could not help but say, "Senior Brother! Why are you hesitating? You've been deeply in love with Gigi, and you two are considered childhood friends. To marry her, you even begged Master multiple times for him to propose on your behalf, but what about Gigi? She abandoned you for that powerless Darryl.
"You can't bear to do it, but Gigi's heartless. Plus, as long as you cover up well, there won't be any mistakes. Tonight's a good opportunity and you won't get it again. It'll be too late when Gigi gets together with Darryl."
Those words were Sherman's heartfelt thoughts.
As a matter of fact, Sherman did not help Vincent out of sincerity. All those years, Sherman was also tempted by Gigi's beauty, but because she was Vincent's childhood friend and Vincent liked her very much, he, as a Junior Brother, did not dare to express his feelings.
That night, Sherman saw a breakdown in their relationship, so he knew it was his chance. He had thought about it. Once Gigi fell unconscious, he would find an opportunity to enjoy the night with her.
After Sherman's continuous persuasion, Vincent kept the jade vial and patted his thighs.
"D*mn it. I'll take your advice and do it."
