At that moment, Dugu Bo came over carrying a pot of tea. He set it on the table and poured a cup for each of the three.
They continued chatting. Throughout it all, Liu Shenlong kept praising Dugu Bo, causing Dugu Bo to become somewhat engrossed as he chatted endlessly with Liu Shenlong.
Zhuge Lan did not think highly of Liu Shenlong, so he did not say much.
During this time, he noticed that Liu Shenlong was drinking tea rather frequently, which left him puzzled. Was Liu Shenlong that thirsty?
He was drinking so much tea!
At that moment, Liu Shenlong picked up the teapot and stood to pour Dugu Bo some tea. He tried for a while without success. When he opened the lid and saw that it was empty, he hurriedly said,
"Brother Zhuge, Senior Dugu Bo, the tea is gone. I'll go brew another pot."
Dugu Bo nodded and said,
"Go on. Remember to use less tea leaves, or it'll be too bitter."
Liu Shenlong smiled and said,
"No problem. I'll go right away."
Liu Shenlong immediately took the teapot away to brew more tea, but a trace of coldness flashed across his face.
Zhuge Lan caught that expression. Ever since Liu Shenlong had entered, he had been observing his actions and expressions. Now, he had finally spotted something suspicious.
He also recalled that not long after arriving, Liu Shenlong had suggested making tea twice. And now he was going again. Could this guy be planning to poison them?
One should not intend to harm others, but one must guard against them.
He immediately whispered to Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu Bo, don't drink the tea later. Watch for my signal."
A trace of confusion appeared on Dugu Bo's face, but he still said,
"Alright, I understand."
