His face radiant with a smile, he elegantly extended a hand in a inviting gesture. “As Miss Wei’er truly wants to thank me, there’s no need for any material thanks. Please, have a seat and have some tea with me.” Go in for tea? Cai Wei suddenly smelled a whiff of conspiracy. She instantly became alert, watching him warily, “What are you up to?” Nangong Yi glanced at the girl who was being cautious, he laughed softly, “Miss, you may rest assured, I am just asking you to have tea with me. Even if I had other intentions, I am not desperate enough.” With that, leaving the girl whose expression had cracked, he stepped into the inn. Not desperate enough? What... What did he mean? Feeling utterly humiliated, Cai Wei clutched her chest, feeling so furious she nearly spat blood! Had she fallen so low that people could just look down on her like this? But she had been eating Beautifying Fruit and bathing in the Hot spring in the Space every day, drinking Lingxi River water, eating food from the Space. Her skin had changed from a dull ashen hue to almost transparent, delicate white. Everyone who saw her always complimented how handsome she looked, why did he belittle her this way? Chai Feng stepped forward, interrupting her indignant thoughts, he said solemnly, “Miss, please——” Mu Caiwei glared at him fiercely, let out a cold laugh, turned to the tall and handsome figure and spat defiantly. “Ptui – pretty boy!” Chai Feng nearly tripped himself, forcing himself to stand straight, he led Cai Wei through the entrance of the Xinglong Inn. Once they reached the courtyard, they saw curved corridors winding around, with plenty of artificial mountains, verdant pine and cypress trees, strangely shaped stones. They walked past numerous rooms to a place where there were a row of single-storey houses that were quiet and elegant. Entering the hall, they saw gorgeous painted beams and structures. There was a magnificent seven-colored glazed screen in the center. Purple sandalwood guest seats were arranged in front of it with Black Fox Skin cushions on top. A Boshan Ancient Copper Stove was burning Longyan Fragrant Cake on a small table. There were antiques, an ancient zither, and a chessboard with jade chess pieces on the book tables on both sides. Each piece was an exquisite artifact, each one worth a fortune.... As expected of the town’s best inn, it was boundlessly luxurious! Cai Wei glanced briefly at the opulence of the inn and sighed a little to herself. Then she turned her attention back to the silhouette behind the screen, watching it warily. The man had gone behind the screen as soon as he entered, who knows what tricks he was trying to play! After a while, Nangong Yi came out from behind the screen. He had removed his gold crown and robe and was wearing only a loose scarlet garment. The ink-colored hair flowing down his back was loose like a waterfall. Cai Wei jumped in shock, pointing at him and shouting, “Nonsense! I’m a girl visiting your place, and you didn’t even greet me and took off your outer clothing. This is too disrespectful! What are you thinking.” The man sauntered leisurely, holding a huge lacquered tray with a design of red flowers. On it was a steaming purple clay teapot with a couple of white, five-petal, flower-shaped, official kiln, tea cups. “You’re overthinking, Miss. This is how I am at home all the time, I didn’t mean to disrespect you!” As he said this, he put the tray on the side table, the jade-coloured tip of his finger lifted the steaming Purple Clay Teapot, and from inside the pot a pale-blue flower bloomed slowly in the mist. The room was instantly filled with an exotic scent, full of floral charm! Cai Wei was stunned. This flower, is the dried flower she had picked in her Space! Nangong Yi, holding the teapot, poured a cup and handed it over, “If, as Miss Wei’er says, I intended to disrespect you, why would I serve you with this priceless tea?” Wei’er’s face stiffened, she took the teacup reluctantly, her gaze shifted elsewhere. Good grief! If she had known that this flower tea would result in so much trouble, she would never have brought it out, attracting disaster. “Miss Wei’er why aren’t you drinking? Even though the tea was gotten from you, such a good thing, you shouldn’t disregard it, right?” Nangong Yi said casually, asking a question. “About that, actually... cough, cough...” Wei’er stopped halfway through her sentence, kept coughing, buying herself some time, while organizing her words in her mind quickly, trying to make him believe that she bought this tea from a traveling street vendor. Although this explanation seemed unconvincing, it had the advantage of not leaving any trace of evidence. As long as she stood her ground, he would not have any recourse. Unexpectedly, the man did not argue about the matter of the tea. He served himself a cup, took a small sip, and said gently, “Miss Wei’er, you don’t need to be cautious, you can relax and chat while sipping the tea with me, for instance, let’s talk about the training methods of the Giant Tiger!”
