Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1230: Chapter 1230: The First to Wet Himself in Fear

Lin Feng had a hunch, but he didn’t speak it out loud. Instead, he continued to ask, ”Is there more?”

”Apologies, Young Master, that’s all. I can’t manage any more.” Housekeeper Jia apologized.

”The fact that you’ve gathered this much without the Lin Family’s resources is already impressive. Okay, you can go now. Keep an eye out for intel in this area; I’ve fallen too far behind in the past three days!” Lin Feng nodded, showing his understanding.

”Yes!” Housekeeper Jia nodded, then had someone drag Housekeeper Liu out.

After leaving Lin Feng’s office, Housekeeper Jia cast a cold smile at Liu.

Did you truly believe you could rise to the top overnight?

Did you really think that by learning my usual methods, you could seamlessly replace me?!

You are far from it!

As a housekeeper, intelligence must indeed be filtered!

But do you have any clue how significant the name ’Lu Xiaobu’ is to the Young Master?

Or just how powerful Young Master Lu truly is and his insane methods!

Your audacity to filter information about Lu Xiaobu?!

If you don’t end up dead, then who will?

Do you know why I ignore your sarcastic remarks?

Because you don’t even deserve it!

”Take him away and deal with it.” Housekeeper Jia instructed the man in black beside him.

”Yes, Housekeeper Jia!” The man in black immediately replied.

They were shocked internally too, not expecting Housekeeper Jia to return after just three days!

...

Shimen.

In a warehouse that is not part of the Lu Family’s properties.

At this moment, only Ni Huang and Zuo An were present!

Alone, the two of them gathered, and then...

Alright, nothing happened.

Both are Grandmasters; they haven’t reached that point yet!

Moreover, would Ye Changsheng agree? Cough cough!

Said too much, said too much!

”I brought some tea, let’s try it.” Ni Huang took out a small box of tea leaves.

Though this tea isn’t the masterpiece from Lu Xiaobu, it is still a high-grade tea among the exquisite varieties.

”Sure, let’s do it!” Zuo An nodded.

Then, they followed the process from before.

Afterward, they sat down to drink tea.

”Um... Why does it feel like there’s no big difference from our usual brew?” Zuo An asked, frowning.

”Indeed, not only that, but even the fragrance is somewhat lacking!” Ni Huang also furrowed her brows.

They had done it exactly the same as before!

Even if the tea leaves were slightly inferior, it shouldn’t be this different!

The two of them were utterly perplexed!

This is what sets them apart!

Though both are Grandmasters, they underestimated Lu Xiaobu!

Lu Xiaobu’s tea-making seems unremarkable.

Yet, every detail holds significance.

Like the water!

What water did the two Grandmasters use? Mineral water!

And Lu Xiaobu?! The finest spring water from Baotu Spring, freshly drawn and air-shipped!

What about the teapot?

The two Grandmasters had teapots worth only a few hundred bucks, brand new!

As for Lu Xiaobu? All sourced nationwide, teapots nurtured for decades!

With these teapots, even pouring plain water would exude tea aroma!

Moreover, Lu Xiaobu paired different teapots with different teas!

They truly believed that simply pouring water over tea was sufficient?!

The tea wasn’t exquisite, the water wasn’t high-quality, the teapot wasn’t matching the tea, yet achieving a regular fine tea flavor was already a skill!

Enough said.

Futile in finding a solution, the two Grandmasters returned to the Thunder God eSports Hall.

They expected easy answers, but instead, only confusion!

Even now, they could still smell the tea fragrance, their hearts restless like being scratched by cat claws.

Upon returning.

Wu Weizi and Ling Xiaozi visited Zuo An’s room.

”What brings you two here?” Zuo An gathered his thoughts and asked Wu Weizi and Ling Xiaozi.

He and Ni Huang had agreed to claim they were just out for a walk, avoiding admitting they were making tea for Lu Xiaobu.

”Master Zuo An, where did you just go...” Ling Xiaozi asked cautiously.

”Just out for a stroll. With Ni Huang, casually discussing martial arts.” Zuo An said without a flicker of guilt.

”Really, just a stroll?” Wu Weizi doubted.

They actually guessed what the two were up to, but weren’t entirely sure!

”Absolutely true.” Zuo An shrugged.

This left Ling Xiaozi and Wu Weizi puzzled.

After leaving Zuo An’s room, they returned to theirs.

Ling Xiaozi: ”Do you think they went to see Lu Xiaobu?”

Wu Weizi: ”I feel like they did, but if he won’t admit it, what can we do?!”

Ling Xiaozi: ”Exactly, now the two of them corroborate each other, making it impossible to break through!”

Wu Weizi: ”Do you think Fei Yijian has gone?”

Ling Xiaozi: ”I don’t think he has. Otherwise, given his temperament, he’d be boasting by now!”

Wu Weizi: ”Ah! Exactly! It’s tricky! Should we corroborate each other?!”

Ling Xiaozi: ”Are you stupid or am I stupid? Our relationship isn’t believable to anyone!”

Wu Weizi: ”Ah! Then let’s wait!”

The two of them were indeed conflicted, quite interested in the Immortal Bean, yet not to the extent of desperately wanting it.

They thought, if everyone else hadn’t gone, and they went, they’d embarrass not just themselves, but also their sect behind them.

That’s the prevailing thought among most Grandmasters currently.

They want it, but don’t want to be the first to step forward!

Probably, everyone doesn’t quite get this. Let’s use an example!

Like everyone going bungee jumping, the first jumper always gets attention.

If brave, it’s alright.

But scared? They’ll definitely be mocked by those behind.

Moreover, seeing how terrifying it is, those further back can opt not to jump and just mock those in front!

Put yourself in their shoes; if there are people like this behind you, wouldn’t you be uncomfortable?!

And Lu Xiaobu’s tea brewing is akin to bungee jumping.

Go, unnoticed, it’s courageous!

But go, and be spotted, it’s like being scared during bungee jumping!

Therefore, everyone is waiting, waiting for the first scared bungee jumper!

Once attention divides, the embarrassment for the second jumper lessens!

Originally, they thought either Ni Huang or Zuo An couldn’t sit still!

But, they didn’t expect the two to leave together, returning together!

Thus, it complicates things!

Whether they really went or not, neither becomes the first scared bungee jumper!

This left them in agony!
