Chapter 1475: Chapter 1468: This Tea Tastes Like Mint Candy

”Zhiqing, give it a try and see how it tastes.” Old Master Lu said with a smile, showing no regret over the preciousness of the Qingxin Bamboo Tea.

Bai Zhiqing did not refuse, she nodded gently, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. Her eyes immediately showed a hint of surprise, and she subconsciously took another sip. The peculiar look in her eyes grew stronger. The tea appeared scalding hot, but when she drank it, a coolness spread instantly throughout her body, making her feel as if every cell was revived by the coolness, filling her with energy, removing any fatigue. It was as if she had gone from seventy or eighty years old back to twenty, feeling full of vitality and endless energy. A faint bamboo fragrance lingered between her lips and teeth, lasting for a long time.

”How is it, Zhiqing, isn’t this tea great?” Old Master Lu asked with a smile, looking at Bai Zhiqing.

Hearing Old Master Lu’s words, Bai Zhiqing exhaled slowly and praised, ”Such good tea, I didn’t expect it to really have a refreshing sensation. And though it seems scalding hot, when you drink it, you don’t feel any heat. Instead, you feel a cool sensation, and it leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth. It’s truly magical. I’ve never seen such a magical tea before. This tea truly lives up to its reputation.”

”Of course, this Qingxin Bamboo Tea was something I worked hard to snatch from that old fellow Ji Xingyun. That old guy treated it like a treasure, so it must be extraordinary.” Old Master Lu said proudly.

”Is that so? This tea is just like that; isn’t it just mint candy with a tea leaf flavor? Nothing special.”

Just at this moment, a voice intruded, ruining the moment. The smile on Old Master Lu’s face froze.

Bai Zhiqing, on the other hand, looked at Lu Tianxing, bewildered at his casual drinking of the tea as if it were plain water. Now she finally understood why Old Master Lu didn’t make tea for Lu Tianxing last time. Old Master Lu was not wrong; making tea for Lu Tianxing was indeed a waste. This top-notch tea, to him, turned into mint candy with a tea leaf flavor. How could he even say that without fear of getting beaten?

”What? Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? The taste is just average. Even when I eat mint candy, I feel refreshed.” Lu Tianxing said, seeing Bai Zhiqing and Old Master Lu staring at him, taking another sip with a smirk.

”You... shut up.”

Old Master Lu was so exasperated by Lu Tianxing’s words that he almost spat out his tea, his finger trembling as he pointed at Lu Tianxing, wishing he could slap his face. He knew it was a colossal mistake to make tea for Lu Tianxing. Making tea for this brat was like casting pearls before swine.

Seeing Old Master Lu’s expression, Lu Tianxing shrank his neck and chuckled awkwardly, ”Hey, Grandpa, calm down, calm down. I really don’t know how to appreciate tea, but Zhiqing does. How about when we leave later, you give us ten or eight pounds?”

”Ten or eight pounds.”

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu almost spat out the tea in his mouth, his mustache twitching in anger. He snapped, ”Get out, get out, as far as you can. Ten or eight pounds, do you think this is the vegetable market? Do you even know the annual production of this Qingxin Bamboo Tea? Ten or eight pounds, you won’t even get that much in ten years.”

Though Old Master Lu scolded Lu Tianxing unreservedly, there was no anger on his face. Instead, it bore a cheerful smile. In the Lu Family, no one dared talk to him so unrestrainedly, no one simply regarded him as a family member rather than the Head of the Lu Family. He felt no familial affection with other Lu Family members, not even with Lu Haoyue and Lu Bowen. But now, he felt this family warmth with Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing. In their eyes, he was just an old man, someone who needed care, not the high and mighty Head of the Lu Family.

Looking at Old Master Lu, Lu Tianxing grinned and said, ”Grandpa, don’t be mad, I was just saying. But, grandpa, you see Zhiqing is busy with work every day, sometimes she doesn’t even have time to eat regularly, it’s not good for her health. Don’t you really plan to give your granddaughter-in-law some tea?”

Bai Zhiqing glared at Lu Tianxing after hearing his words, then turned to Old Master Lu and said, ”Grandpa, don’t listen to Tianxing’s nonsense...”
