At the end of the passage lies an infinitely vast world.
Xie Feng hovered in the air, looking down at the earth. The mountains stretched endlessly, the rivers crisscrossed, and countless tall buildings stood tall, with wisps of clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
These palaces and pavilions are mostly white, blue, and cyan, elegant and graceful, in line with the Immortal aura of Guixu.
Inside the secluded pavilion, the Master of Guixu was preparing tea in anticipation of the guests. Changying led the two over.
"Master, Sect Leader Xie and the others have arrived."
Facing his master, Changying clasped his hands together on his abdomen, showing utmost respect, a hint of reserve and composure appearing on his cool and beautiful face.
Xie Feng saw it.
I want to laugh.
He was all too familiar with this.
Isn't this exactly how my little girl behaves obediently in front of me after making a mistake...?
It seems that whether in past or present lives, the tradition of students fearing teachers and younger generations fearing older generations can transcend time and space and reach Eternity.
The Master of Guixu rose and shook hands with Xie Feng, exchanging pleasantries. It was their first meeting, so there wasn't much to say...
It's just that damned set of social niceties.
"Is this what 'Sushang?"
He stared at the little girl, a huge surge of emotion welling up in the depths of his dark, ocean-like eyes.
It really looks like it...
Those delicate eyebrows...
That brave look...
That elfin-like expression...
She looks so much like Shang Ni from twelve years ago!
They are mother and daughter after all!
In that instant, countless memories flooded his mind, and the Master of Guixu was stunned.
Being stared at intently by a middle-aged man with striking eyebrows, who appeared very handsome, upright, and gentlemanly, Sushang felt a little uncomfortable, even though she knew he meant no harm.
She quietly took a step back, moved closer to Xie Feng, and secretly tugged at his sleeve with her fingers, only then feeling at ease.
"Master?"
Changying noticed the subtle tension and whispered a reminder.
The Master of Guixu finally came to his senses.
"Haha, I lost my composure, please sit down!"
Xie Feng came for the key.
The two understood each other without saying a word, but they still needed to speak slowly.
Inside the Hidden Pavilion, there is a stone table and four stone stools, just enough for each person to choose a stool and sit down.
There are four cups of brewed tea on the table.
The tea is white tea.
The tea set is made of crystal glasses.
The Master of Guixu is quite a refined person.
Xie Feng sighed.
Ordinary people drink tea without being particular about the teaware or using any teaware they like.
He brewed white tea, but used a crystal cup.
In his previous life, Xie Feng drank white tea from a glass cup because this colorless cup best showcased the shape of the white tea leaves and the color of the tea soup, achieving the best visual effect.
Xie Feng took a sip of tea. At first, it tasted bland and tasteless. But after patiently savoring it for a couple more sips, his mouth began to water, and he started to enjoy it more.
As you continue to savor it, the aroma of the tea intensifies, and the tea soup becomes mellow and sweet from the tip of your tongue to your throat. After finishing a cup of tea, the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth, and your throat feels smooth.
"Good tea!"
Xie Feng couldn't help but give a compliment.
Since Xie Feng began sipping tea, the Master of Guixu had been paying attention to him. Seeing Xie Feng savoring the tea carefully, he knew that Xie Feng had met someone who understood tea, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.
Sushang downed the whole thing in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said, "Delicious."
Wow~
Master is so stingy...
They verbally acknowledge others as honored guests, but their true feelings are not shown.
How can you drink tea?
Why hide such good stuff?
Aren't you ashamed?!
Changying glanced at the white tea and secretly complained.
"The tea is delicious, but there is something even better. Master, may Sect Leader Xie try some?"
Changying spoke, she opened her innocent, clear eyes, like a naive and adorable child, and sincerely entertained the guests in her home, making people sigh that this child was truly sensible.
That girl!
What a waste of money!
The Master of Guixu almost fainted.
He knew what Changying meant by "better-tasting"...
Immortal Brew!
He didn't have much left in total.
and...
The Master of Guixu glanced at the immortal gourd at Changying's waist.
He only recently learned that there really are little mice stealing wine in Guixu!
The crucial point is that he can't say that since he made it onto the Heavenly Ranking, the wine gourd he used to secretly hide has now been openly displayed on Changying Ying's person.
Since the White Jade Immortal Gourd was a reward from the Heavenly Ranking, he had nothing to say but lament his lax discipline in allowing a fairy to develop a fondness for alcohol.
This is the future Immortal Lord of Guixu!
His thoughts were a jumbled mess.
Bang!
A jar of wine was left on the table.
Changying had already brought the wine. When Master of Guixu looked closely, he realized that the jar could hold at least eight or nine jin of wine, and his heart was bleeding.
The Immortal Brew" he brought to Madam Wenqu was less than two ounces...
My dear apprentice, you're really willing to do this!
Speaking of which...
Am I really that stingy?
The Master of Guixu had become so delirious that he was doubting himself.
" Immortal Brew, this is truly a heavenly delicacy."
Hehehe~
Changying spoke, Qingtan poured Xie Feng a cup.
"Little girl, would you like some?" she asked, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Sushang immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum.
I won't drink it!
I won't drink it!
I'd rather die than drink that!
This wine is terrifying. She took just one sip and was drunk for who knows how long. She doesn't like the feeling of being drunk.
Watching the little girl shake her head frantically, this was exactly the effect Changying wanted. Her perverse pleasure satisfied, she chuckled even more... lewdly...
Xie Feng took a sip of the Immortal Brew. It was refreshing and fragrant. As he savored it, he could almost feel the ancient charm of the wine as it slowly fermented over the years.
He took a sip, Master of Guixu glanced at him.
He really couldn't help it...
Changying sighed, "Master, are you really abandoning your ethereal, Immortal image?"
That brat, she's siding with outsiders!
The Master of Guixu was somewhat displeased.
His target is no longer just alcohol.
Thinking of his beloved disciple, whom he had pampered, who had sneaked out of Guixu a few days ago to play, it was one thing for him to sneak out, but when he came back, he was muttering some strange things.
For example: Xuanji Sect, Xie Feng, Anping, Mung Bean, lotus leaf chicken...
He didn't know about the others, but Xie Feng —since the Heavenly Ranking descended upon the world, who in the land didn't know Xie Feng?!
That number one on the Heavenly Ranking!
Male!
Upon arriving at Guixu, his beloved apprentice not only greeted him warmly but also offered him Immortal Brew to drink!
I've never even received this kind of treatment myself...
The Master of Guixu felt a little jealous.
He didn't want a soap opera like "a pig rooting for a cabbage" to happen to his precious apprentice.
Although this is an incomparably handsome and powerful "pig"...
His precious disciple must not get involved in any karmic entanglements with men and women in the mortal world!
If Immaculate Body is corrupted, how can one inherit the Great Dao of Guixu, how can one become a saint?!
The Master of Guixu had mixed feelings.
After finishing one cup, Xie Feng stopped drinking alcohol and instead leisurely sipped his tea.
This suddenly made the Master of Guixu feel favorably towards him.
What a sensible young man!
This young man knows how to handle people!
He felt a little reluctant to part with a whole jar of wine, but a single glass was perfectly acceptable!
The Master of Guixu, who was melancholy just a moment ago, suddenly smiled, nodded slightly, and found Xie Feng pleasing to the eye no matter what.
"The tea and wine have been drunk; now it's time to get down to business."
Xie Feng smiled calmly.
The Master of Guixu narrowed his eyes slightly. He maintained a smile on his face, but deep within his pupils, a serious expression slowly crept in.
Before that, I want to tell you a story.
Xie Feng looked at him, knowing exactly what kind of story he was going to tell, and calmly smiled, "Please tell me."
The Master of Guixu's gaze drifted away, as if lost in memories of the past, and his expression became slightly more solemn.
