After resting for five minutes, Zhang Zian struggled to stand up and followed Jiang Qianxue hiking up the mountain.

The carrier interested the fans even more. Many teahouses used high-end mineral water to make tea; however, a teahouse located on top of a mountain that still used high-end water seemed quite distinctive.

How much does one pot of tea cost?

As they hiked up further, the fog seemed thicker and the humidity was very high. The sky was dark. It looked like it was going to rain soon. Maybe the street vendors down the hill were right about the rain.

When Zhang Zian almost died climbing up the stairs, the path took a sharp turn to the right and there was a flat area looking extremely like the mountaintop.

In fact, they were about 20 or 30 meters away from the top. The real mountaintop was so narrow that it wasn’t suitable for tourists. As a result, most people would stop there and call it the mountaintop. Not many people had reached the top. Although it seemed awfully quiet on their way up, there were actually quite a few tourists up there. A few college kids were taking pictures of the fog using some expensive cameras; two families who seemed to know each other were resting on the stone bench, chatting and laughing; a young couple was hiding under the trees…Zhang Zian reached into his pocket. It was too bad that he didn’t bring a lighter, otherwise he would scare the crap out of those two annoying lovebirds.

A group of strong-looking older people who hiked there every day were about to go down. When they saw how tired Zhang Zian was, they all laughed at him. ”Young man, you have to get some more exercise! Look at that girl, she is much better than you!”

There were a few gazebos and stores selling food, drinks and souvenirs. Not many people would spend money there though.

There, the mysterious teahouse was standing right in front of Jiang Qianxue and Zhang Zian – Teahouse in Hidden Fog.

It was a two-level Chinese traditional style building that looked like the teahouses in old Chinese movies. Small but elegant, it looked exceptionally attractive among the other old buildings. There were some antique lanterns hanging along the eaves of the veranda. The signboard also seemed to come from some famous calligrapher. It was a beautiful piece of art.

Even though Mt. Hidden Fog wasn’t too high, building a teahouse like this had to be costly. All the building materials had to be transported up by the carriers. How long would it take for the return on investment?

Jiang Qianxue pointed her cell phone at the teahouse so her fans could see it. Zhang Zian also was using his cell phone and looking around. People thought he was taking a picture, but in fact he was searching for the elfin.

There were barely any buildings there so the elfin was very likely hiding in the teahouse.

Someone came out from the teahouse. It was the carrier they saw on their way up. Now he looked relaxed and happy with only an empty pole on his shoulder, since those four cartons of mineral water had turned into cash in his pocket. He walked around, pulled out a plastic bag and picked up the empty bottles people left behind. After, he nodded at Zhang Zian and Snowy with a smile, then followed the older group down the hill.

The college kids saw Zhang Zian and Snowy at the gate of the teahouse. They came over to tell them, ”That teahouse is crazy expensive. We checked out the prices a minute ago.”

Jiang Qianxue didn’t really care. ”Well, it should be a bit more expensive. The water was moved up here by the carriers.”

The kids came to tell her because she was pretty and looked like she was the same age as them. If there was only Zhang Zian, they wouldn’t have bothered.

”It is a lot more expensive,” they laughed.
