Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1197: Chapter 1196: Grandmaster Brewing Tea

Zheng Tianlai and Zheng Hai are discussing Lu Xiaobu’s crazy-sounding plan to squander wealth!

They both think it’s utterly absurd!

A Grandmaster making tea?!

Leaving aside whether it’s feasible, even if it could be done, would you dare drink that cup of tea?!

Everyone knows in our Heavenly Dynasty, who is responsible for serving and pouring tea?!

That’s the task of servants, of juniors!

Moreover, the Jianghu is all about status and seniority, asking a Grandmaster to serve you tea is daring beyond belief!

But! That’s just their opinion!

Ask yourself, is there anything Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t dare to do?!

Absolutely not!

Since Lu Xiaobu proposed it, that means he’s already considered it!

Therefore, after he left the Zheng Family, he immediately came to Ye Changsheng.

Of course, he couldn’t be direct; knowing old Ye’s face-loving personality, if he spoke bluntly, he’d likely get crushed!

However, thankfully, sometimes Ye Changsheng can be a bit slow-witted, still able to be fooled!

Well, if Ye Changsheng knew Lu Xiaobu said his mind wasn’t working well, he’d be 100% outraged—what the hell! You guys are monsters! Do you understand what a monster is?! In your eyes, human minds are all malfunctioning!

Back to the main topic!

Lu Xiaobu has arrived at Ye Changsheng’s residence!

This place was bought for Ye Changsheng by Lu Xiaobu!

Lu Xiaobu walked in with a big smile: ”Hello, Grandmaster Ye! How have you been lately?!”

He greeted with utmost warmth.

”What are you here for?!” Ye Changsheng appeared extremely vigilant!

You remember his true profession, right?

He’s a fortune teller! Although he can’t predict his own future, he often gets sudden intuitive feelings!

Like just now, he suddenly felt something might happen today!

Lo and behold, just after this hunch, Lu Xiaobu showed up!

Can you blame him for being cautious?!

”I just got some good stuff and want to share with you, why so tense?!” Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, his face calm and composed like he’s not up to anything!

But surprisingly, Ye Changsheng was on guard?!

Yet, is vigilance effective against him?!

”I don’t want it!” Ye Changsheng decisively rejected: ”Offering favors for nothing, don’t come to me, no matter how good the stuff is, I don’t want it!”

Absolutely no interaction with Lu Xiaobu today!

”Oh.” Lu Xiaobu, upon hearing this, surprisingly turned and left: ”Well then, I’m off!”

His departure was incredibly swift and neat!

As if he didn’t really want to come in the first place!

Everyone knows, curiosity and defiance are strong traits in people!

You’ve probably all seen this: when someone says they have a secret they can’t share, you ask but they won’t say it, even if they eventually do, the process is endlessly convoluted, filled with promises and back-and-forth!

But, if after they share, you tell them you don’t care to hear it!

Congratulations, they’ll spill it in less than two minutes!

The situation now is just like that!

Lu Xiaobu’s swift departure left Ye Changsheng with itching curiosity!

Could it truly be something good?!

Lu Xiaobu lives a lavish life, items he considers good are undoubtedly good!

But once accepted, the risk of getting tricked by Lu Xiaobu looms!

As he hesitated, Lu Xiaobu had already exited his gates!

No hint of reluctance!

Seeing this scene, Ye Changsheng couldn’t hold back any longer: ”Wait a minute! What exactly is this good stuff?!”

”Why do you care?!” Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and continued outside: ”I kindly wanted to share with you, and you said I had ulterior motives?! Forget it, I’m leaving!”

”Wait! Wait! What’s the deal with you?!” Ye Changsheng panicked.

Looks like it truly is something good!

”I misspoke earlier, alright?! Quick, tell me what this good stuff is?!” Ye Changsheng looked around to see no one was there and pulled Lu Xiaobu back.

He spotted Zhang Meng, and though Zhang Meng was quite formidable, he didn’t stand out in comparison!

Ye Changsheng and Lu Xiaobu sat down again.

Lu Xiaobu looked at Ye Changsheng’s expression and rolled his eyes: ”Alright, alright! I’ll show you!”

With that, Lu Xiaobu took out the tea box containing Ghost Cave Iron Luo Han.

”What is it? Exactly?!” Ye Changsheng’s curiosity was intense.

After all, someone who enjoys peeking into others’ histories would have a strong curiosity!

”Tea leaves!” Lu Xiaobu chuckled.

”Tsk! I thought it was something good!” Ye Changsheng rolled his eyes: ”I’ve had plenty of good tea leaves!”

”Oh? The Ghost Cave Iron Luo Han, you’ve had it too?!” Lu Xiaobu calmly asked.

”What?! Ghost Cave Iron Luo Han?!” Ye Changsheng was startled, and swiftly snatched the tea box from Lu Xiaobu’s hands.

He opened it cautiously, took a sniff, and was instantly overjoyed: ”Indeed it’s Ghost Cave Iron Luo Han! You really managed to get your hands on something this good! I recall the last time I drank it was three years ago!”

”You’ve had it?!” Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow.

”Of course! I’ve traveled far and wide for so many years, and it’s well-known in Jianghu, is it strange that I’ve had it?!”

Ye Changsheng proudly exclaimed, then turned to Ghost Cave Iron Luo Han, almost drooling:

”The aroma of this stuff, I still can’t forget it! I never thought I’d see it again!”

Right after speaking, he hurried to grab a kettle: ”Quick, brew a pot, let’s taste it! Taste it!”

”Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Why are you in such a rush?!” Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: ”If we casually brew it, isn’t that a waste?!”

”Right, right! Look at me...” Ye Changsheng smacked his forehead: ”Almost damaged the goods! Can you brew tea?! If not, I’ll find some people!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaobu suddenly had a glint in his eyes: ”Find some people? Are they Grandmasters?!”

”No! Grandmasters enjoy tea, but as for brewing it, or openly brewing it, not one of them does!” Ye Changsheng waved dismissively.

”Drinking tea alone is dull! But bringing others, if a Grandmaster personally brews tea, wouldn’t that be demeaning?! So, I’ve never heard of any Grandmaster personally brewing tea!”

”What I’m talking about is finding the tea-brewing masters under the Grandmasters, I recall an old guy who has a pretty good master!”

”By the way! Why are you asking?!” Ye Changsheng inquired, perplexed as he gazed at Lu Xiaobu.

Unbeknownst to him, Lu Xiaobu, following the Grandmaster tea brewing scenario, had conceived an even grander plan!

Different types of tea require different brewing techniques, could we gather a dozen or so Grandmasters and have them brew tea?!

Mamma mia! What a crazy idea!
