Chapter 1194: Chapter 1193: One Hit Here, One Strike There

In Lu Xiaobu’s eyes, Ookata Hiroya’s series of actions seemed cumbersome, but Zheng Tianlai thought entirely differently.

He wasn’t concerned with anything else; at this moment, he only cared about the purest essence of the tea ceremony.

Although Ookata Hiroya’s speech was somewhat harsh, his dedication to the tea ceremony was something Zheng Tianlai greatly appreciated.

This is why he tolerated these two people for so many years!

However, Zheng Tianlai understood that this was probably the last time he would be able to observe their tea ceremony up close.

By this time, the tea had been brewed and was placed in front of everyone.

”Please!” Ookata Hiroya gestured for everyone to taste the tea and raised his cup, drinking the tea with a hint of greed.

Zheng Tianlai felt a sense of regret; how could he not feel the same way?

With money and power, Zheng Tianlai often managed to acquire great tea leaves. Now that they had fallen out, he was likely to suffer in the area of tea leaves!

Lu Xiaobu also raised his tea, took a sip, and nodded: ”Good tea.”

Ookata Hiroya kept silent, but Minami Kanai was impatient, straightening his body with a hint of arrogance as he looked at Lu Xiaobu:

”You’re being honest this time; only through my master’s tea ceremony can the flavor of this Ghost Cave Iron Luo Han truly be brought out!”

”Do you understand now why I said you were wasting it?”

Even Zheng Tianlai silently nodded at this.

For tea lovers like them, the casual brewing by ordinary people did indeed waste the tea.

Of course, this was purely in terms of tea.

Since this tea was given to Lu Xiaobu, no matter how he drank it, it wasn’t wasting!

A bit convoluted, but everyone caught the spirit of it.

”I said the tea was good, but I didn’t mention your tea ceremony.” Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said, ”How come your ego is so big?!

Honestly, Japan’s tea ceremony is quite something, and this guy in front of me does have some skill.

Through a complex yet precise attention to detail, they manage to eliminate all distractions at each step.

By the time they brew the tea, they’re entirely focused, making the tea showcase the original flavor of the leaves to the fullest, without a single impurity.

This is why many know that Japan’s tea ceremony can cultivate the mind.

”You!” Minami Kanai was furious.

This Lu Xiaobu was indeed arrogant. Even now, he dared to utter such wild words!

Honestly, this deliberate disparaging method was quite contemptible.

”No need to rush, Mr. Lu, since you say so, I imagine you have a higher level tea ceremony?” Though Ookata Hiroya’s anger surged, he suppressed it, wanting Lu Xiaobu to make a fool of himself!

He wanted to personally witness Lu Xiaobu’s embarrassment.

”Alright, since that’s the case, let’s treat it as gifting you something.” Lu Xiaobu twisted his neck and stood up.

”Lu, Mr. Lu...”

Zheng Tianlai opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Hadn’t Lu Xiaobu already tasted their tea ceremony? Yet he wanted to act?!

Wasn’t this a recipe for humiliation?!

”Stay calm!” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and began to wash the teapot and cups.

He didn’t choose the small teacups that were typically used by the Japanese, opting instead for medium-sized teacups, about twice the size.

Seeing this, the two Japanese men wore expressions of ridicule on their faces.

Such large bowls?!

Was Lu Xiaobu really going to pour boiling water directly on the tea leaves?!

Truly!

To compete with someone like this, honestly, it was a courtesy to him.

If it weren’t for this being the Heavenly Dynasty and the other being Lu Xiaobu, he wouldn’t even let someone so coarse drink his tea.

”Mr. Zheng, drinking isn’t about the wine but the mood; you should know this saying.” Lu Xiaobu said while carefully washing,

”Hmm, I know,” Zheng Tianlai nodded.

Everybody knows the saying about drinking a thousand cups with close friends.

But why bring up drinking suddenly?

”Tea is actually the same, only the reactions to wine are more intense, making people overlook tea,” Lu Xiaobu finished washing the cups and sat down again.

Then, he turned to Zhang Meng: ”Zhang Meng, go to the courtyard and practice a set of punches, then come back.”

”Yes!” Though Zhang Meng was confused, following orders was enough!

He went outside and started practicing his punches!

He was a martial arts fanatic, never practicing with a playful mentality, so the courtyard was filled with the sound of whipping punches, majestic and fierce!

After watching for a while, Zheng Tianlai couldn’t help but sigh: ”This is the Fierce Tiger War God, indeed deserving of its reputation! Just watching here makes me feel a bit scared!”

Ookata Hiroya’s face turned extremely sullen: ”Mr. Lu, what do you mean? Trying to scare us? There’s no need! We’re already like meat on your cutting board, and doing this further lacks class!”

”Mess with you guys? Young Master doesn’t have the time, and you’ve been competing for too long. Compete more, and Young Master will permanently shut your mouths!”

Lu Xiaobu glanced indifferently: ”Don’t doubt, remember my name is Lu Xiaobu! Give you even a tiny bit of leeway, and you want to open a dye factory?!”

Upon hearing this, the two Japanese men’s faces turned blue and white but dared not speak!

They gritted their teeth—waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!

The two dared not speak, but Zheng Tianlai did: ”Mr. Lu, does practicing punches have anything to do with brewing tea?”

Honestly, Lu Xiaobu’s random operations left him utterly bewildered.

”There’s a connection; you’ll soon see.” Lu Xiaobu smiled while boiling water.

And just then.

”Young Master, I’m done!” Zhang Meng returned, his body steaming, having just finished exercising, with an aura of menace emitting outward, intimidating.

”Great, come, brew the tea,” Lu Xiaobu nodded, pointing to the freshly boiled water.

”Yes!”

Zhang Meng nodded and poured the boiling water directly over the precious Ghost Cave Iron Luo Han.

The method was no different from how people brewed tea at home.

He didn’t even wash the tea!

Honestly, at this moment, even putting aside the reactions of the two Japanese men, or the tea-loving Zheng Tianlai, even Zheng Hai, unfamiliar with this arena, felt anxious.

Young Master Bu, this is Ghost Cave Iron Luo Han!

You just pour directly?!

You’re really ruining it!

Moreover, this tea ceremony really isn’t like our usual brewing methods!

However, nobody dared to voice their thoughts.

”Alright, everyone, please enjoy.” Lu Xiaobu poured the tea and distributed it to everyone!

The puzzle is about to be revealed!
