Chapter 94: Shuixiang Teahouse
“Hahaha! You two, no need for such polite words. How about we don’t just stand here chatting at the foot of the mountain?”
Hong Lingsheng let out a hearty laugh, patting both of them on the shoulder as he said this.
“Brother Hong is right. We can talk slowly later. Let’s head up the mountain first and sit down. It’s been a long time since I last visited Shuixiang Teahouse. Today, I really must taste their top-grade fragrant tea.”
Yan Langshi gave a soft laugh and nodded as he spoke.
“Haha, Langshi, you really know me. I came all the way to Donghai specifically for the fragrant tea here.”
Hong Lingsheng laughed loudly and clapped his hands repeatedly.
“Is the fragrant tea at this Shuixiang Teahouse really that famous?”
Lin Tiannan looked completely clueless.
“Of course. It’s known by everyone in Donghai. Getting to taste it isn’t easy. You’re in for a treat today, Brother Lin.”
Hong Lingsheng smiled slightly and praised the fragrant tea lavishly.
“I really am ignorant. I’m lucky to have both of you today.”
Lin Tiannan smiled politely.
“Brother Lin, everything else about you is good, but you’re just too polite. Having a distinguished guest like you today is an honor for us.”
Yan Langshi pretended to chide him, then took the lead walking up the mountain. The other two followed, and the three chatted and laughed along the way, gradually becoming more familiar with each other.
Shuixiang Teahouse was located halfway up Qinglian Mountain, perched on a protruding large rock. The building had an antique style, and its design was quite ingenious. Generally, the people who could come here were either wealthy or noble; it wasn’t affordable for ordinary folks.
Surrounding Shuixiang Teahouse was a vast tea garden, famous for its natural, faint fragrance. Additionally, Shuixiang Teahouse had a very interesting rule: they never sold their tea leaves to outsiders.
If you wanted to drink their fragrant tea, you had to visit Shuixiang Teahouse in person.
The three arrived at the entrance of Shuixiang Teahouse, where a young hostess wearing Hanfu greeted them with a warm smile.
“Three in total?”
“Yes, here for tea.”
Hong Lingsheng chuckled as he replied.
“Alright, please follow me.”
The girl led them to the second floor. Once inside, they saw the place was already full of people. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves greatly, with extremely satisfied smiles on their faces. They chatted softly among themselves; no one was making loud noises here.
The three chose a seat by the window and sat down. The girl then turned and left. Shortly after, a waiter came up. “Gentlemen, which type of fragrant tea would you like?”
“Same as usual, Young Master Hong.”
Just then, a beautiful middle-aged woman walked over with a smile and greeted Hong Lingsheng.
“Sister You, I haven’t seen you in over a year, and you’re still as young and beautiful as ever.”
Hong Lingsheng turned and laughed.
“You’re still the same, with that sweet tongue. Young Master Yan is here too.”
“Sister You, long time no see. I was craving tea today, so I came to bother you again.”
Yan Langshi also greeted her with a smile.
“It’s been so long. You’ve both grown up quite a bit. You have the presence of men now. This young gentleman looks unfamiliar. What may I call you?”
Sister You covered her mouth with a light laugh and turned to look at Lin Tiannan.
“Sister You, I’m Lin Tiannan. Today, I came with these two young masters to see the world. Please forgive me if I’m impolite in any way.”
Lin Tiannan smiled slightly. This Sister You was clearly a woman with a lot of charm. It was just a pity she was a bit older; otherwise, he might have been interested.
“Young Master Lin, you’re far too polite. Since there’s a new friend today, Sister You will give you a discount. How about 30% off today?”
“That wouldn’t be right, Sister You. We’re not here to take advantage of you.”
Yan Langshi waved his hand and said with a laugh.
“Young Master Yan, don’t stand on ceremony. It’s not your first time here. Chat for a bit; your tea will be right up.”
Sister You smiled, then swayed gracefully and walked away.
“This Sister You is quite something. She has the aura of an older sister.”
Staring at her curvaceous hips, Lin Tiannan grinned.
“Besides the fragrant tea, the other thing that attracts people to Shuixiang Teahouse is the owner, Sister You. First-time visitors here are always captivated by her. Some even develop other ideas, but over time, no one dares to pursue them.”
Hong Lingsheng said with a laugh.
“Why is that?”
Lin Tiannan was curious.
“You really want to know? I think it’s better not to say. Let you keep some good thoughts.”
Yan Langshi also laughed.
“You two young masters, don’t keep me in suspense. Please clear up my confusion.”
Lin Tiannan looked very eager.
“I’ll tell you. Actually, Sister You likes both men and women. She doesn’t refuse anyone. You understand what that means, right?”
Hong Lingsheng glanced around and whispered.
“What?! Is she… bisexual?”
Lin Tiannan widened his eyes in surprise.
“No. Ah, it’s hard to explain. It’s better not to be curious about this, or you’ll definitely regret it.”
Yan Langshi laughed heartily and shook his head.
“You two are really something. You clearly know but won’t say. Don’t you know that makes people feel awful?”
Lin Tiannan looked very frustrated.
“We’re doing this for your own good. Later, enjoy the fragrant tea here properly. It’s better not to be too curious about Sister You.”
Hong Lingsheng also shook his head.
“You two are really driving me crazy.”
The more they said this, the more curious Lin Tiannan became about Sister You. His gaze never left her at the counter.
Although Sister You was a bit older, she maintained herself very well. She looked like a woman in her early thirties. Her figure and appearance were top-notch.
“Brother Lin, control your eyes. Stop looking. Sister You is not someone to mess with. If you want to have fun with beautiful women, we’ll take you to a good place tonight. As for Sister You, don’t even think about it.”
Hong Lingsheng tapped the table.
“Why, exactly?”
Lin Tiannan swallowed hard and finally pulled his gaze back.
“The consequences are very serious. Just listen to us, alright? Would we ever harm you?”
“Fine, I’ll listen to you. But I still feel restless inside. I just can’t calm down!”
“Drink some tea later; it will help soothe your mind. Don’t indulge in women and ruin your future!”
Yan Langshi said with a serious expression.
“Is it really as serious as you say?”
Seeing Yan Langshi’s solemn face, Lin Tiannan didn’t dare think further. Maybe that Sister You really had something formidable about her. What a pity. Such a charming beauty. He could only sigh lightly in his heart.
“Crossing the line could make it even worse. The tea is here; let’s drink.”
Seeing that Lin Tiannan had given up the idea, Yan Langshi breathed a sigh of relief. He exchanged a glance with Hong Lingsheng, and both sighed quietly in their hearts. That incident two years ago was still fresh in their memories; thinking about it still made them fearful.
Back then, when they first came to Shuixiang Teahouse for tea, they were immediately captivated by Sister You’s beauty. Both were young men full of vigor, so naturally, they had some improper thoughts.
At first, Sister You just joked along with their flirtatious words. But when they were about to leave, they actually tried to get physical. However, before their hands could even touch Sister You, they found themselves unable to move.
It turned out Sister You had swiftly grabbed their wandering hands. An extremely Yin-cold Zhenqi flowed through their arms into their bodies. In an instant, their bodies went completely stiff.
“Young men, you don’t seem like children from ordinary families. Why act so frivolously? That’s not good. Besides, sister is older and not suitable for you. I’ll let you off this time, but don’t let there be a next time.”
Sister You wasn’t angry; she just scolded them a bit and then released them.
But that was enough to shock them. After all, their martial arts weren’t weak, especially Yan Langshi, who had already touched the threshold of Zhenqi back then—definitely a young Expert.
Yet, they were easily subdued by Sister You without a sound. How high must her cultivation be? They didn’t even dare to guess.
While the three were drinking tea and chatting, Lin Mu had already arrived at school. Not long after entering the school gate, he received a phone call from one of Wu Tianming’s subordinates.
“Young Master Lin, Big Brother said you needed a car for transportation, so he sent us to deliver one to you.”
“Oh, right. I did mention this to Tianming. But don’t get me any flashy or stylish sports cars. Something low-key with excellent performance is fine.”
“Alright, Young Master Lin. We’ll bring it over around noon.”
After hanging up, Lin Mu was very satisfied with Wu Tianming’s efficiency. He had just casually mentioned that not having a car was inconvenient, and now they were already sending one over.
He attended two classes with the girls in the morning, then passed the rest of the morning in the library. Sure enough, before noon, his phone rang again.
“Young Master Lin, the car has been delivered. It’s at the school gate. Please come and take a look.”
“Okay, thanks for your hard work.”
He quickly went to the school gate and saw a black sedan parked by the roadside with the license plate A88888. The design was quite imposing, with a masculine tension. Lin Mu was pleased at first sight.
He didn’t recognize the car emblem; it looked like two M’s overlapping. He hadn’t seen anyone around driving a car with this emblem before. It probably wasn’t too flashy or luxurious. He didn’t want to stand out too much; it’s wise to hide one’s strengths.
After all, he wasn’t some impulsive young man; he naturally understood the consequences of showing off too much.
“You’re here, Young Master Lin. This is the requested vehicle. We carefully selected it and finally chose this one. It best fits your requirements.”
A young man standing by the car immediately approached when he saw Lin Mu, handing him the car keys along with a document folder.
“These are the vehicle’s paperwork. Everything has been taken care of.”
Lin Mu nodded, took the items, got in the car to test it. The interior was spacious and very comfortable to sit in. He took it for a short drive; the power and overall performance satisfied him.
