The middle-aged man looked at the three who had not been pulled into the Angel Domain, smiled faintly, then made a gesture inviting them to sit and said:
"Don't be nervous. They were only briefly pulled into the Angel Domain. It will only benefit them and do no harm."
Qian Daoliu's voice was calm, yet it carried a warmth like spring water that unconsciously soothed their restless hearts.
Shen Hanyu took the first step forward and sat opposite Qian Daoliu. The Snow Empress and Demon Queen exchanged a glance before taking seats to the side as well.
With practiced elegance, Qian Daoliu brewed the tea. After filling four cups, a gentle wave of Soul Power lifted three of them and slowly placed them before the three guests.
Shen Hanyu picked up the tea before him and took a light sip. The warm tea slid down his throat. After savoring it for a moment, he softly said:
"You certainly know how to make good tea, Senior..."
Qian Daoliu smiled faintly and said:
"Even if inferior tea leaves undergo endless processing, they remain inferior. Yet fine tea needs only the simplest brewing for countless people to seek after it."
"The key lies not in the art of brewing tea, but in the tea leaves themselves. No matter how skilled the brewer, for tea that is already rich and mellow, it can only be the finishing touch..."
Qian Daoliu chuckled. His gentle demeanor gave no indication that he was one of the most powerful human experts alive.
The Snow Empress and Demon Queen also picked up their teacups and took light sips before gently setting them down.
"After the three of us, talents as astonishing as you have appeared on the continent. I feel hopeful and honored for the continent's future..."
Qian Daoliu
