Qin Manyun followed Li Nianfan from behind without speaking. After finding an appropriate excuse, she said, “May I ask if you met a young man in the Immortal Guest House?”

Li Nianfan nodded. “Indeed. Why?”

Qin Manyun said nervously, “To be honest with you, I was visiting this man’s sister. They heard your take on ‘Journey to the West’ and were enlightened. So, they’d like to pay you a visit.”

“So, two fans of ‘Journey to the West’.” Li Nianfan smiled. No wonder the young man rushed away hastily. He was rushing home to share the information with his sister.

In fact, he even received some Spiritual Stones from the young man! He said nonchalantly, “Why not? Just bring them over. If you come early, I can prepare breakfast for everyone.”

“Great!” Qin Manyun’s face lit up. “I’ll go tell them now.”

With that, she transformed into light and left hastily.

The next day, at the first ray of sunlight.

Three orbs of light flew from Azure Ville toward the Immortal Guest House.

Gu Ziyao said as they travelled, “Sister Manyun, thank you so much for introducing us to the expert and even giving us a chance to impress him.”

She had a long box in her hands. Inside it was a white tulle dress.

“This is your opportunity. I wouldn’t have been able to find such top quality clothing in such a short period of time,” Qin Manyun said with a calm tone, but internally, she was sighing.

How could the expert wear ordinary clothing? It had to be at least a weapon! Weapon clothing could be used as a defensive item, or even a luxurious item in this Immortal Realm. This was because the materials of such clothing were of top quality and could be used only a limited number of times. One could make powerful weapons out of it, but instead, Immortals used it to make appealing clothing. How wasteful!

Powerful or appealing? Most would choose to be powerful. Furthermore, the clothing was made specifically for men or women which made it less useful! Unless one was extremely wealthy and wasteful, one would not make luxurious clothing out of these defensive materials!

Even the Linxian Palace did not have much of such clothings, and most of them were worn by Qin Manyun. If it was going to be a gift to Daji, of course it had to be new!

Little did she expect that Azure Ville was so wealthy and generous! Gu Ziyao happened to have a few top-grade clothings which were all custom-made!

The three of them walked to the front of the Immortal Guest House. Qin Manyun said with a solemn tone, “I told you about the taboo, right? Please, remember to always keep calm and never offend the expert.”

Gu Ziyao nodded. “Don’t worry, we know.”

Upon entering the Immortal Guest House, they walked up the stairs, one after another. They were approaching Li Nianfan’s room. Even though it was not far away, they felt that the climb it took forever. They could even hear their heartbeats over the tension in the air.

The Gu brother and sister thought they had done enough preparation before coming, but the closer they were, the more they realized how much preparation they lacked. They started to get more and more anxious.

At this moment, they were overwhelmed with unknown fear and anticipation. Before they knew it, the three of them had arrived at Li Nianfan’s room.

Qin Manyun took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Coming,” Li Nianfan called out from inside. Swiftly after, the door swung open.

“Sir, we meet again. Sorry I left in a hurry yesterday and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Gu Ziyu. This is my sister, Gu Ziyao,” Gu Ziyu hastily uttered his prepared speech like how his sister instructed him to.

“Hello, I’m Li Nianfan. Please, come in.” Li Nianfan looked at the three of them and instantly smiled.

He knew both Qin Manyun and Gu Ziyu, so the other woman was probably Gu Ziyu’s sister. It was hard to believe that an impatient and straightforward young man would have such a dignified and elegant sister.

The three of them said in unison, “Sorry to bother you.”

Upon entering the room, the three of them were stunned. Fragrance instantly rushed into their noses and up into their brains, touching on nerves that had never been touched before.

Following the source of the fragrance, they saw a small pot by the dining table. The liquid in the pot was boiling and a thick layer of smoke rose into the air, bringing out its unique scent.

Daji was laying out the bowls and cutleries by the side. She nodded at the three of them.

The living room was very spacious. The five of them could sit in the living room without feeling crowded.

“Have a seat,” Li Nianfan invited them to sit at the dining table.

As they got closer, the fragrance thickened, penetrating their noses and throats. The smell soothed their senses and awakened the hunger in their stomachs. Their stomachs started growling.

The three of them stiffened up in unison. They could almost feel their stomach churning. They had to keep transferring their Qi into their stomachs to calm down and repress the growls coming from their stomachs.

All these years, they had never felt hunger once they started cultivating. They did not expect to have this feeling again. One might not even believe them even if they confessed, but they used up all their Spiritual Qi in order to stop their stomachs from growling.

However...it smelt too good...too good!

Although they were warned by Qin Manyun, the fragrance was way beyond Gu Ziyao and Gu Ziyu’s expectations.

Especially Gu Ziyu who could not help recalling his first encounter with Li Nianfan. He remembered treating Li Nianfan’s criticism of the food as a joke and thought he was just a pretentious frog in a well. Thinking back now, Li Nianfan was indeed an impressive man while he was the actual frog in a well!

The fragrance of the food was able to surpass any dish in the Immortal Guest House. In fact, countless people would fight among each other just to take a whiff of this dish!

The three of them looked at the steaming pot with curiosity. All they could see was a few eggs inside the pot and liquid boiling vigorously.

The eggs had darkened into a dark brown color and their shells were cracked all over. The liquid in the pot was brown in color as well, seeping into the eggs through the cracks.

Other than the eggs and water, there were some condiments in the pot, such as spices and tea leaves.

Were this...tea eggs?

Almost everyone knew what this dish was, but why did it smell so good?

The brother and sister were intrigued, but Qin Manyun’s pupils dilated. She could feel her head exploding from the shock rushing into her!

The tea leaves...were they not the ones that gave her Insights?!
