Chapter 953 - 527: Wen Li Is a Senior Sister (Double-Length)

"The apprenticeships at Muyu Peak don’t really bother with those formalities," Xu Chang’an said.

"Don’t bother?"

Yun Qian seemed thoughtful.

It’s just the disciple ceremony they don’t bother with, right?

But for weddings, don’t you still need to bow to the parents?

Yun Qian thought about it, then realized it was hard to say. After all, everyone at Muyu Peak was a young lady, and if two young ladies were to get married... doing a mirror reflection or food sharing ceremony, there’s no need to bow to any elders.

So, the things happening at Muyu Peak might not be a point of reference.

As Yun Qian was deep in thought, Xu Chang’an also tilted his head.

Even though Li Zhibai wasn’t originally from the Hehuan Sect that moved over, as a teacher at the Sword Hall, she inherited the customs of Muyu Peak quite well.

Therefore, if she wanted to take Yun Qian as a student, it wouldn’t make sense to have Yun Qian perform the formal student-teacher ceremony.

If they really did such a ceremony, how would Li Zhibai still call her "Ms. Yun" and enjoy a tea party together?

Having witnessed many mentor-student relationships at Muyu Peak, Xu Chang’an understood these things well. Anyway, he hadn’t really seen any normal mentor-student relationships... The only somewhat normal ones might be Senior Wen and her mentor?

The other girls mixed together were indeed more like sisters than teacher and student.

How should I put it?

Xu Chang’an shook his head.

"The Hehuan Sect... Overall, it’s just a strange place."

Compared to today’s cultivation realm, that place exudes a sense of unseriousness everywhere, no wonder the orthodox Hehuan Sect disappeared into the river of history, leaving only some dust behind.

He thought about it and said, "So, if the teacher intends to take Miss as a student, offering her a cup of tea... that’s enough."

"Offer tea?" Yun Qian blinked.

"Yes, offer tea."

"The ones I’ve drunk?" Yun Qian asked.

"The ones Miss has drunk."

"She won’t get tea drunk?" Yun Qian asked again.

Xu Chang’an helplessly sighed: "..."

Miss Yun, oh Miss Yun.

Not all young ladies in the world would get tea drunk; how could a teacher be like her, getting palpitations and shortness of breath from drinking some refreshing tea?

"The teacher won’t get tea drunk, so you can confidently offer her tea," Xu Chang’an said.

"Okay." Yun Qian nodded, then said, "But I will get drunk."

"Then just don’t drink."

"I thought so too." Yun Qian paused.

Yes, she would get tea drunk.

So the Enlightenment Tea Li Zhibai and Zhu Pingniang prepared for her... she won’t use it because she gets drunk, and her husband doesn’t allow it.

That’s fine.

At least she won’t have to comprehend any ’Heavenly Dao’.

Yun Qian couldn’t understand what Li Zhibai wanted her to do.

Let her feel the aura of the Heavenly Dao up close?

Does she really know what she’s doing?

Tilted her head.

Not important.

But Xu Chang’an does like it.

Unlike her, who just enjoys drinking and indulgence, Xu Chang’an enjoys both drinking and tea to clear the mind... but Yun Qian had tried it, and she truly didn’t find anything good about tea.

"You like drinking tea a lot," Yun Qian said, looking at Xu Chang’an.

"Not quite like a lot." Xu Chang’an paused: "I just really like the taste of tea, it suits my palate, it’s just unfortunate... it doesn’t match Miss’s taste."

"I don’t get this." Yun Qian said, taking a sip of fruit juice, her brows relaxed a lot.

She didn’t like bitterness because Xu Chang’an often gave her sweet things.

At this moment, maybe because of the sweet drink, the girl had a fragrant and sweet scent all around her.

Not far away, Miss Lu’s nose twitched, then she gently lifted the porcelain bowl in front of her, so carefully as if holding heavenly nectar.

Sipping slowly.

Yes, it tastes good... No wonder Yun Qian drank it so delightfully.

She sneakily glanced at Wen Li and saw her picking up her bowl as well, with a smile on her lips.

Girls who like sweets aren’t usually bad people.

So Miss Lu was brewing a plan on how to talk to Wen Li.

——

"Tea and alcohol are actually the same thing, it’s just that your body is too weak to distinguish between them," Xu Chang’an said.

"The same thing?" Yun Qian shook her head slightly: "Not the same."

She’s not a fool; she can tell the difference between bitter and spicy.

Moreover, after drinking alcohol, there’s a warm feeling on the face.

After drinking tea, not only does it cause shortness of breath, but it also makes the mouth dry, as if it’s more like drinking water.

"..." Xu Chang’an said nothing.

He suddenly thought of Miss Yun’s aura full of Water Rhythm.

He had thought for a long time that true water has no fragrance, but in essence, Yun Qian is Water Rhythm, Water Rhythm.

A girl like that would be perfect for brewing tea...

"I think there’s no difference, Miss is very much like a fragrant tea, and if you could brew yourself with water, the taste would certainly be excellent," Xu Chang’an unthinkingly spoke aloud.

Words of affection shared between a couple, but he didn’t care about the occasion when speaking.

When among friends, Xu Chang’an isn’t shy; after all, if the mood is right, missing a great moment out of shame, he couldn’t forgive himself.

So, Miss Lu’s well-brewed emotions shattered as she looked at Xu Chang’an in astonishment, as if seeing him for the first time.

Was the Young Master... not a block of wood after all?

He could speak love words?

With such a shock, Miss Lu’s plan to speak with Wen Li was instantly thwarted.

"..." Wen Li also remained silent.

She usually didn’t follow Li Zhibai’s routine of three meals a day or bathing, but a cup of tea each day was indispensable, as tea is an important part of the Six Arts for Women.
