Chu Feng’s joke was far from funny. No one present dared to laugh; after all, Qi Wen represented the Qi Family wherever he went. Who would dare make a joke at the expense of the Qi Family’s elder son?
Of course, Qi Wen couldn’t laugh either, having been bested by soone ignorant in the art of Tea Ceremony. It was more than a re embarrassnt—it was a major loss of face.
Qi Wen looked at Chu Feng, his heart filled with hatred so intense he felt like gnashing his teeth. He was certain Chu Feng had done it on purpose, playing the fool to catch the wise. Everything Chu Feng had done from the beginning was an act. He was deliberately making a fool out of him.
Qi Wen would never believe that the Immortal Tea was sothing Chu Feng had researched on the spot. Even if Chu Feng had told him, Qi Wen would never have believed it.
The news of Chu Feng brewing Immortal Tea spread throughout Yanjing in the shortest possible ti.
Within the small courtyard, Huang Jianye sipped from his teacup and suddenly felt that even the most exquisite Frozen Top Oolong had lost all its flavor.
anwhile, Huang Zixuan was both angry and coquettish at once.
"Grandpa, why didn’t you tell when Uncle ca over? Why didn’t you tell , why didn’t you tell ..."
Huang Zixuan nagged continuously, leaving Huang Jianye no choice but to say, "I surrender. In a bit, I’ll call Chu Feng and ask him to co over, alright? It’s a perfect opportunity for this young man to brew so Immortal Tea for to taste."
Huang Zixuan didn’t care about Immortal Tea or not; she was simply thrilled at the idea of Chu Feng coming over.
In a courtyard within the Red Wall, Li Xiaoran’s grandfather also found the tea in his hand bland and uninspiring.
"This young man really can pull off miracles. It seems that the Qi Family has really lost face this ti. It’s high ti that the noble families were put in their place," he said as he put down the teapot. Turning to the guard behind him, he commanded, "Prepare the car, we’re going to Old Huang’s to enjoy so tea."
"Yes, General!"
The Qi Family also received the news, but the first thing they heard was that Qi Wen had managed to brew Mountain and Water Tea.
The Qi Family made their fortune through tea, and progress in the Tea Ceremony signified more than honor for them. It ant they could further explore the Ancient Martial Cultivation Techniques left behind by their ancestors.
The self-invented Ancient Martial Cultivation Techniques passed down by the Qi Family ancestors were closely related to their advancents in the Tea Ceremony. The more they advanced in the Tea Ceremony, the more of the Ancient Martial arts they could learn.
However, this was the Qi Family’s secret, one they would not share with outsiders. They were even less likely to reveal to anyone else the details of their Ancient Martial Cultivation Techniques.
So, when the Qi family heard that Qi Wen could brew Mountain and Water Tea, they were all elated.
Qi Wen had already reached the Profound Level, and now that he could brew Mountain and Water Tea, it ant he could study Earth Level Cultivation Techniques.
If Qi Wen truly reached the Earth Level, he would be the youngest Earth Level Expert among the noble families. Such an achievent would enhance the Qi Family’s prestige imasurably.
At that point, the Qi Family would no longer need to hide their knowledge of Ancient Martial arts.
However, when the Qi Family heard that Chu Feng had actually brewed Immortal Tea—the Immortal Tea that even their ancestors didn’t frequently brew—they were all shocked.
Immortal Tea!
That was sothing even the ancestors of the Qi Family rarely produced.
And there was a legend that said with one cup of Immortal Tea, an ancestor of the Qi Family achieved unprecedented heights, even breaking through the void.
If that was the case, wouldn’t Chu Feng permanently overshadow the Qi Family?
This was sothing the Qi Family absolutely would not allow to happen.
This only further solidified the Qi Family’s resolve to eliminate Chu Feng. Not only was the Holy Stele in Chu Feng’s possession highly alluring, but now that Chu Feng could brew Immortal Tea, it was even more imperative that he could not be left alive.
Li Xiaoran finally finished counting her winnings. Her small eyes were practically turning into golden stars.
"Brother Feng, you’re so amazing. Just like that, you helped win over five million. Now I can buy whatever I want. The pretty clothes I like, the pretty shoes, and even the pretty backpacks, I can have them all," Li Xiaoran said, extrely excited.
But as Chu Feng looked at Li Xiaoran, he really couldn’t understand how a little princess could end up being treated so harshly.
"I won’t take cash. A cheque would be fine with you, right?" Chu Feng said.
Qi Wen gritted his teeth, wrote the cheque, and then left without looking back.
"He’s too ntally weak. He plotted so much against , and I’m still living well. He can’t even bear this little setback," Chu Feng couldn’t help shaking his head.
"Brother Feng, can we go to Zixuan’s place first?" Li Xiaoran pleaded with Chu Feng as they left the hotel.
Chu Feng asked, "Why?"
Li Xiaoran said, "I want to secretly hide the money at Zixuan’s. If grandpa finds out, he’ll confiscate it all."
Chu Feng looked at Li Xiaoran’s pitiable appearance and really found it hard to refuse such a poor child. He said, "Alright."
However, before they could leave, Chu Feng received a call from Huang Jianye.
"Well, it looks like I have to go now," Chu Feng said after hanging up the phone.
Chu Feng sped all the way to Huang Jianye’s courtyard.
Just as they reached the entrance, Li Xiaoran grabbed Chu Feng’s arm and said, "Sothing’s not right. My grandpa’s here too, we must leave quickly."
Chu Feng looked at Li Xiaoran and said, "You can sense him without even entering?"
Li Xiaoran nodded vigorously and said, "I can feel it. I’m sure my grandpa is here, we must run."
Chu Feng looked at Li Xiaoran with a smile and said, "Run? Where can you run to? Don’t worry, I’ll speak well of you to your grandpa. At the very least, I’ll make sure he lets you keep the money for buying clothes, shoes, backpacks, and your allowance for a year."
"Really? Do you promise?" Li Xiaoran asked.
Looking at Li Xiaoran, Chu Feng thought to himself: This little girl is too easily satisfied.
Chu Feng nodded and said, "I promise."
"Alright, I believe you. If I can’t keep it, I’ll just ask you for it," Li Xiaoran relaxed upon receiving Chu Feng’s assurance.
Chu Feng and Li Xiaoran went in together and, as expected, saw two elderly n with white hair sitting under a tree chatting.
"Xiaoran, co here," Li Xiaoran’s grandfather, an elderly man who still exuded an impressive aura despite his age, said.
The old man’s tone was very calm, but there was an undeniable sense of authority in his voice, suggesting that he must have been a formidable general back in his day.
The little witch Li Xiaoran imdiately turned into a well-behaved girl upon seeing her grandfather.
"Li Xiaoran, you disloyal sister. You left behind and went off to have fun on your own. Co here, I need to settle the score with you," Huang Zixuan walked out of the room ’angrily’ and approached Li Xiaoran.
