Chapter 162: Just a cup of tea, his cheeks flushed
"I've learned everything you wanted to know. It's time to go back." Lin Xuxi stood up and raised his hand to see the guest off.
Yan Yao put down his teacup and stood up, bowing and asking, "Master's Wife, I used to be too harsh with my words, even always contradicting and slandering you in front of everyone. Aren't you angry?"
He asked carefully, afraid of bringing up bad memories from the past.
"I was angry before, very angry, so angry that I even wanted to punish you, but now I don't care." Lin Xuxi smiled and didn't look angry at all.
It seems like he has really let it go.
"Master's wife, you can hit me or scold me!" The more Yan Yao saw Master's wife smile, the more scared he became. The more so, the more it seemed that Master's wife had no expectations of them.
"Master's Wife, we all know we were wrong!" Yan Yao knelt at Master's Wife's feet and begged, "Master's Wife, I can accept any punishment you have. Even throwing me into the Qiushui Abyss is fine. I just beg you not to act so indifferent. I'm really scared."
There is love and there is hate. He was very panicked by his master's wife's indifferent attitude.
"Master's wife?"
"It's too late for you, Little Friend Yan, to call me Master's Wife now." Lin Xuxi smiled and shook her head, rejecting the other party's excessive request. She smiled and said, "You should go back and see your Master as soon as possible. Perhaps he needs your care more."
Lin Xuxi saw the guest off without hesitation, and even closed the door and set up a barrier to prevent anyone from coming in and disturbing them.
"So many people come to disturb me when I'm packing my things. It's really true." Lin Xuxi complained.
Jiang Sihan heard all these words, and his consciousness kept floating around Lin Xuxi, not wanting to leave.
"This vase is a gift from me to you, why don't you take it?" Everything in the treasure chest was taken away, except for the blue and white porcelain vase.
Jiang Sihan recognized it immediately and wanted to ask but knew he wouldn't get an answer.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't get an answer, he knows the answer.
"Xi'er, where are you going?"
After Lin Xuxi tidied up the entire bedroom and made sure that she had not left anything behind, she actually breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved as if she had unloaded a burden.
"It's great that I'm no longer from Fushan." Lin Xuxi sat on the chair and looked around.
This place did not have any good memories for her. She picked up the half-drunk tea that had already gone cold and looked at the table placed aside.
She remembered who had used the cup and without hesitation, she picked it up and smashed it. She was unwilling to take back such a dirty thing.
"You actually dropped the teacup that Yan Yao was drinking from?" Jiang Sihan knew Lin Xuxi, so he knew how much she hated Yan Yao and the others, a hatred deep in her bones.
So, does Xier treat him the same way?
After drinking the cold tea, Lin Xuxi felt that it was very fragrant and to her taste. Just as she was savoring the tea, someone came to interrupt her.
Lin Xuxi frowned slightly when she noticed someone approaching the barrier. Then, realizing it wasn't someone she didn't want to see, she waved her sleeve to remove the barrier and stood up to open the door.
As soon as Lin Xuxi opened the door, she saw Tao Fengzhi holding a scroll in his right hand and a folding fan in his left. His eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and he was a dashing, sophisticated man.
These eight words are just right to describe this person.
"I thought Master Lin didn't want to see me, so he closed the door." Tao Fengzhi pretended to be sad, and his artificial look made people laugh.
"I didn't close the door to prevent you." After saying that, Lin Xuxi made way and invited the person in, saying with a smile, "If I really was preventing you, I wouldn't have invited you in."
"Alas, it's my fault. I keep bothering Master Lin and he's tired of me." Tao Fengzhi lowered her head and sighed, looking like a wronged young wife.
Seeing this, Lin Xuxi didn't tolerate him anymore and pretended to be cold and said, "If you are being pretentious, then I won't care about you." She was just joking.
"No, no, no!"
Tao Fengzhi immediately behaved herself upon hearing this. She lifted the hem of her skirt and lightly jumped onto the steps. After crossing the threshold, she stood in front of Master Lin and said with a smile, "I'm here to bring you something."
"Please take a seat."
"please."
The two sat opposite each other. Tao Fengzhi put the things in his hand aside and picked up the tea. However, he found that the tea was black tea this time. He looked at Master Lin with some surprise.
Tao Fengzhi silently picked up the teacup. He didn't know if it was because the tea was too hot that his cheeks turned red, or what. In short, he felt his face was hot and the temperature wouldn't go down.
Just a cup of his favorite tea made his heart race. How could something so insignificant keep tugged at his heartstrings?
"This tea is good." Tao Fengzhi praised softly.
"Ah."
Lin Xuxi also knew how to return a favor. If someone cared about you and went out of their way to understand your preferences, you should also give something back so as not to be so ignorant of the ways of the world.
Jiang Sihan watched from the sidelines. Lin Xuxi hadn't meant anything, but Tao Fengzhi wasn't necessarily. This youngster's intentions were obvious to everyone. Why was he blushing just because he was drinking tea?
He wanted to question, but he had no mouth to speak.
"By the way, what are you looking for me for?" Lin Xuxi remembered that he was about to leave. Why did he keep coming back after leaving?
"I'm here to deliver something to Master Lin."
Tao Fengzhi smiled, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I know what Master Lin needs." Then he picked up the scroll and handed it over with both hands and said with a smile, "Look at what it is."
After taking the scroll, Lin Xuxi did not open it immediately. She looked at Tao Fengzhi with some doubts, but could not see anything in the other's smiling eyes.
She was a little worried that it might reveal their relationship, which would make it difficult for her to refuse.
"Master Lin." Tao Fengzhi also saw Master Lin's doubts. He didn't want her to worry too much, so he took the initiative to stand up and walk to Master Lin, took the scroll and opened it himself.
Show the contents in front of the two of them.
"This is a map of Dongyuan Mountain." How could I bear to put you in such a dilemma? Master Lin.
"How do you have a map of Dongyuan Mountain?"
Lin Xuxi felt guilty for her previous thought. She shouldn't have assumed Tao Fengzhi like that. She took the scroll with both hands, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Didn't they say no one had ever been to Dongyuan Mountain? How did you get a map?"
"The hermit has his own ingenious plan!" Tao Fengzhi deliberately kept the secret, not saying how rare the item was. After all, it was presented to Master Lin, so there was no need to say anything else.
Lin Xuxi knew that this thing was not easy to come by, so after thinking about it, she took the initiative to take out something in exchange.
"I know you have everything you need, but this is a catalog of medicinal materials I compiled myself." Lin Xuxi handed over a handwritten book with both hands.
"This herbal medicine book records all the herbs I know and their uses, and I drew the illustrations myself. Although there are many herbs in the book, this one is relatively complete. You can make copies and sell them. It's up to you to do with them." Lin Xuxi added, "This book was originally only used as a teaching material within Xuanyu Sect and for Yaoshan disciples, so it's fine to give it to you now."
"How can I bear to do that?"
Although he knew that Master Lin gave it to him to settle the matter and no one owed anyone anything, Tao Fengzhi was still happy. He took it respectfully with both hands, glanced at the cover, and said with a smile, "I can tell it's Master Lin's by the handwriting."
