1461 A Celebration Of Their Engagemen (1/2)

Coincidentally, Gu Xijiu bumped into Yan Chen, who had just cleaned his house. He heard a knock and was surprised to find them at the door. Immediately, he invited them in.

They had not met for eight years. The boy, who was once steady and sentimental, had turned into a mature and responsible man. He served them tea.

Lan Waihu took a look at it. It was fruit tea, which used to be her favorite. She pinched her lips into a thin line and said softly, ”Can I have a different type of tea?”

Yan Chen was surprised. ”Isn't this your favorite?”

Lan Waihu looked down when she responded. ”It used to be, but it is no longer my favorite. I prefer scented tea.”

For a moment, Yan Chen was at loss of what to do. He simply nodded. ”Alright, I will get you another one.”

He wanted to make her tea with a light and delicate scent. ”I want the taste to be stronger and concentrated,” Lan Waihu continued.

Yan Chen frowned. ”Strong tea will prevent you from a good night's sleep. You should avoid it.”

”It is alright. I am quite a carefree person, so no tea will able to prevent me from sleeping soundly. Lan Yue likes to drink strong tea at night too. Just like him, we have the same preference. Strong tea does not affect us,” Lan Waihu interrupted him.

Yan Chen pursed his lips and said nothing more. He continued making her a more concentrated tea, but it was not at all strong.

Suddenly, the awkwardness in the house became a little unbearable. Gu Xijiu took out some gifts while trying to engage with Yan Chen in a conversation. She tried to make the atmosphere a little livelier.

Gu Xijiu explained the reason for her visit, which was to get Yan Chen along with the men from Tianju Hall to fight against the fake Celestial Master Zuo.

Without a doubt, Yan Chen agreed to the plan and would obey Gu Xijiu's every instruction. He was given an amulet for them to communicate via directed audio.

While they were talking, Yan Chen did not look at Lan Waihu at all; not even once. Moreover, Lan Waihu had no comments in their political affairs, so she sat aside and listened to their conversation quietly.
