NOVPUB"What are you doing at the door?" At this moment, a group of people emerged from inside the Cai Mansion.
Leading them was none other than Cai Yueting.
"Miss," Commander Cai regained his senses and quickly recounted the events that had just transpired.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, somewhat relieved that he had not acted rashly before.
"May I know how to address this young master?" Cai Yueting asked with a gentle smile as she approached Xu Zimei.
"Xu Zimei. I’m wondering if I could take part in your tea appreciation gathering?" Xu Zimei asked with a smile.
He could even clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from her.
"Of course, it was my mistake not to have sent an invitation to Young Master Xu in advance," Cai Yueting said with a slight bow and an apologetic tone.
Her black eyes fluttered with long lashes, curiously sizing up Xu Zimei.
"That’s not necessary, perhaps you’ve never heard my name before," Xu Zimei replied, shaking his head with composure.
"But from now on, this name will resound like thunder throughout the Yuan Central Continent.
You will not even be able to forget it if you wanted to."
Cai Yueting appeared stunned upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words.
She could feel the absolute confidence in Xu Zimei’s statement.
"We shall see," Cai Yueting said with a smile, then turned to address everyone.
"The tea appreciation event is about to start, so let’s not delay any longer and go inside."
...
Under the guidance of Cai Yueting, the group walked into the Cai Mansion.
The tea appreciation event took place in the tea garden.
The Cai Family’s tea garden was located within an independent space.
Xu Zimei entered this space when the tea trees were ripe for harvest.
The various fragrances of tea leaves wafted through the air.
Looking around, the entire space was filled with different types of tea trees.
There were Cang Dragon Nine Pearl tea trees, Milky Way Seven Star tea trees....
All sorts of rare types, even those extinct in the outside world, could be found here.
It was evident that the Cai Family had paid a significant price for maintaining this tea garden.
...
The sky above this space connected to the outside world, allowing sunlight to shine in just right.
Sturdy branches cast elongated shadows in the light.
Surrounded by these tea trees, in the central position, there was a large pavilion.
At that moment, a cool breeze brushed through the pavilion, where several tea tables were set up.
Dozens of young talents had already arrived.
These youths were famous Talented Disciples from the Shenghua Fengyun List, each renowned outside of this place as well.
Some wore swords at their waists, others carried Curved Blades on their backs, and some were enveloped in Ice, freezing the space several meters around them.
When Cai Yueting led the others to the scene, the gathering was nearly complete.
There were not many rules here; it was simply a place for everyone to interact.
The tea on the tables was freshly picked and quickly fried using a special method.
Different teas were matched with different spring waters, as well as different teacups.
...…
Once everyone was seated, the tea appreciation event officially began.
Opposite the pavilion, there was a specially excavated pond.
The water in the pond was crystal clear to the bottom, with several very special Seven-Leaf Tea Lotus trees planted within.
This type of tea tree was similar to the lotus, born out of silt but unsullied, standing tall and elegant as if proud of its solitude.
At this moment, a Talented Disciple stood up, and with a smile said to everyone.
"I believe that many of us here are not tea connoisseurs.
Gathering here solely to drink tea would be quite uninteresting.
Now that many Talented Disciples of Shenghua domain are here in this pleasant scenery,
"Why not spar here among these tea trees? What do you say?"
"I agree."
"Brother Bu Hang speaks truly."
The other talented disciples around them all nodded in agreement.
The talented disciple known as Bu Hang smiled, took a step into the void, and was the first to step out.
Standing in midair, clad in a blue robe, he said to everyone with a smile, "I’ll lead off. Who wishes to spar with me?" n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
All the talented disciples present exchanged glances, when a young man in white slowly stepped forward.
"It’s Young Master Luohe," someone hurriedly said.
"Ranked sixth on the Shenghua Fengyun List, Young Master Luohe hasn’t made a move in a long while."
"It is said that on the day of his birth, a wondrous book descended from the heavens.
It’s the Luohe Heavenly Book, ranked eighth on the list of the world’s strange objects.
Young Master Luohe and the Luohe Heavenly Book have long been one. He has been well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood.
He dabbled in all the books in the world, and knowledge is the source of his power."
At this moment, in the middle of the pool of tea trees, the two men stood upon the void.
Ripples spread across the water, their long hair moving without any wind.
"Young Master Luohe, please enlighten me," Bu Hang said with a light chuckle.
He unfolded the folding fan in his hand, waving it gently as a sword formed of spiritual energy pierced through the layers of water.
It stirred up waves that rolled towards Young Master Luohe.
Around Young Master Luohe, spiritual energy coalesced, and in front of him, a book slowly floated into view.
As he turned the book to the first page, a strong and proud voice echoed around them.
"The book says, all things have a spirit."
As soon as Young Master Luohe finished speaking, the tea trees in the pond seemed to come alive.
The sword qi that had assailed him was directly shattered by the tea trees.
Meanwhile, behind Bu Hang, a tea tree stretched out its branches and swiftly entangled Bu Hang’s entire body.
Bu Hang was taken aback for a moment but instantly broke free from the tea tree’s entanglement.
He shook his head and sighed, "Your Heavenly Book’s attack is truly hard to guard against.
I concede I am half a move behind, and thus concede defeat. I will spar no more."
Watching the exchange at the center, Xu Zimei finished the tea in his cup.
Then he stood up and stepped into the center of the pond.
"I wonder if there is anyone from the Extinct Heaven Sect present?"
No sooner had Xu Zimei spoken than a young man in a purple robe slowly stood up.
"I am the current Saint Heir of the Extinct Heaven Sect. What business do you have, brother?"
"I am here to destroy the sect, starting with you, Saint Heir," Xu Zimei said with a faint smile, pointing at the young man in the purple robe, speaking indifferently.
"Come out."
"You’re the one who’s been talking about destroying the sect?" the young man in the purple robe slightly furrowed his brow.
There had indeed been rumors in the sect recently, claiming that someone had vowed to obliterate their Extinct Heaven Sect.
However, as a long time had passed without seeing this person, many disciples thought it was just empty talk.
"Young Master Xu, could you do me a favor and not bring up personal grudges at today’s tea appreciation gathering?" Cai Yueting said, her face showing distress.
"But I am here to cause trouble," Xu Zimei said.
"Of course, I am only here for the Extinct Heaven Sect’s Saint Heir and will not involve the innocent.
You have no need to fear."
"Fear?" A talented disciple present scoffed, "Sir, you seem to be too boastful."
"This piece of trash, please take a seat and don’t get so agitated,"
Xu Zimei gestured with his hand and slowly drew out Tyrant Shadow from behind him.
In that instant, the aura of the peak of the Emperor Pulse Realm reverberated throughout the entire tea garden.
Below, in the pool surrounded by tea trees, there was a "boom" as an explosion set off, sending countless giant waves rolling and rising around them.
