Chapter 94: That’s It? I Really Only Drank a Cup of Tea Translation
One had to know that this was an invitation from Green Lotus Princess. It was something that many people dreamed of.
“Sigh, why can’t we be invited by Green Lotus Princess?”
“If you can refine the Flawless pill and refine a Divine Sword, I believe that not only Green Lotus Princess, but the royal family will also invite you for tea.”
“For me to have such an opportunity, I’m afraid that I would be willing to die right now.”
Everyone sighed, but could only watch helplessly. It was their fault that they did not have Gu Xi’s powerful abilities.
If it were not for Gu Xi’s prestige and strength, the envious gazes of the male cultivators present would have pierced him like a hedgehog.
However, Gu Xi did not take it to heart. He followed the maid to a secluded lake. Next to it was Green Lotus Princess’s carriage.
It was unknown whether a formation had been set up here, or if there were not many people around, but it was extremely quiet. The breeze brushed against his face, and the waves shone brightly. The clear lake water was like a pearl embedded in the vast forest, and the five-colored Luan birds danced in the air, it added a little more spirit to this place.
Gu Xi seemed to have entered a fairyland by accident. He hesitated for a moment. It seemed that as an outsider, it was not good for him to enter the carriage like this.
The maid next to him seemed to know what he was thinking. “Young Master Gu, go in. Our princess has been waiting for a long time.”
After Gu Xi walked in, he realized that there was a different world inside. Although it was a carriage, the space inside was extremely large. A string of bead curtains separated him, and he could vaguely see the graceful figure behind the curtain.
Each bead was worth ten million spirit stones. With so many strings, one could imagine how much it was worth. However, it was only placed in the palanquin as a decoration.
“Thank you, Princess, for helping me out just now.”
Gu Xi knew that if it was not for Green Lotus Princess’s words, those people would not have let him go so easily. Green Lotus Princess did not seem like someone who meddled in other people’s business.
Regardless of the purpose, he accepted this favor. Moreover, from the current situation, Green Lotus Princess did not seem to have any enmity toward him.
Green Lotus Princess waved her delicate hand, revealing half of her snow-white wrist. It was as if it was made of jade and snow. Even though she was pouring tea, it was extremely pleasing to the eye. She was elegant and refined, and she did not look like a mortal being.
“It’s nothing.”
Green Lotus Princess’s voice was pleasant to the ear, “I’m just a little curious about Young Master Gu.”
Curious?
Gu Xi was a little puzzled, but his expression did not change. He looked at the woman not far away, the white veil covering her face concealing her devastatingly beautiful face.
Even so, her faintly discernible outline and her pair of beautiful autumn eyes were like peach blossoms blooming in March. With just a glance, one would be intoxicated by it, causing one to imagine what kind of peerless beauty would be under the veil.
He looked at the unfurled tea leaves in the cup, the spiritual energy overflowing in all directions. A mouthful of this tea would make one feel relaxed and happy. One’s cultivation would also feel as if it had increased by a tiny bit. Even this teacup was no ordinary porcelain.
Gu Xi could not ignore this amazing tea. It was the kind that could not be bought even with money. It would be cherished by ordinary people, and it was something to be placed in their treasured collections. However, it was used by Green Lotus Princess to entertain guests.
The tea leaves floated in the white porcelain, like a good ink painting. Beside them, incense burned. It was the incomparably precious Hundred-year-old Ambergris Incense.
For a moment, no one spoke, and it was very quiet. Only the sound of their breathing could be heard, along with the delicate fragrance of the woman.
“If Young Master Gu likes tea, you can bring some back. It’s been hard on you during the competition. You should rest early.”
Gu Xi’s black eyes were a little surprised. However, after a moment, he regained his composure. He could not figure out what this Green Lotus Princess was up to. Could it be that she really only invited him over for a simple cup of tea?
By the time Gu Xi walked out of the carriage, Green Lotus Princess did not say anything. Instead, there was a bag of tea in Gu Xi’s hand.
Looking at the cold teacup in front of her, Green Lotus Princess did not say anything. After a long while, she said softly, “He has many secrets. could he be the person we are looking for?”
There was nothing around her, and there was no breeze at all. What was strange was that the bead curtain started to shake again. The clanging sounds were incessant, and it was especially obvious in the quiet carriage, it was as if there were a pair of invisible hands fiddling with it.
...
Gu Xi was surrounded by the people of Supreme Purity Sect when he returned.
“Senior Brother Gu, You’re amazing. Not only are you good at pill refining, but you’re also extraordinary at weapon refining. Is there anything in this world that you don’t know?!”
“Even the famous Ou Yechen admitted defeat. Also, Wang Dazhu submitted to you. None of them are a match for you.”
“That Bai Haoyu is hilarious. In the end, he came over to apologize. Who asked him to steal our materials back then? We should teach him a good lesson.”
“So what if he is the descendant of the God of Forging? In the end, Senior Brother Gu is still better. I suspect that there is nothing in this world that Senior Brother Gu can’t do.”
The people of Supreme Purity Sect were amazed. In just a few days, it could be said that they had experienced great ups and downs in their lives. They could not stop discussing what happened.
Gu Xi was the participant in the competition, but their hearts were in their throats because this competition was extremely important to the Supreme Purity Sect! It could be said that it was the hope of the entire sect.
If Gu Xi could succeed, the Supreme Purity Sect could be promoted from a third-grade sect to a second-grade sect. It would have a great impact on the future and development of the sect. It could even be the start of a long history for the sect.
Who would have thought that Gu Xi actually succeeded, and even won so beautifully! It caused such a shocking phenomenon that all the great powers in the Capital wanted to impress Gu Xi.
