C140 (2/2)

When I was young, there would always be people praising me for being smart, but gradually, no one would ever praise me for being smart again. At first, I was puzzled, but when I thought it through, I kept hanging out with my master, it was fine if I wasn't stupid, but it was no longer compatible with being smart.

After returning, we explained our plan to Senior Sister Hua, and when he heard that Gu Li had joined forces to murder his father, he became extremely angry and kept saying that she was going to personally slaughter this thing that was worse than a beast. If Brother Hua saw Senior Sister like this, then the image of the goddess in his heart would instantly collapse.

The three of us took advantage of the dark sky to go to Gu Junshan's house. Gu Junshan looked pretty good, at least he looked a lot better than yesterday, and yesterday he was still dispirited. Today, he saw us smiling as we greeted him and told Jia Wen to pour the tea, the senior brother took a sip of tea and said, ”Good tea, what's the name of Old Master Gu's tea?”

Gu Junshan smiled and said, ”The name of this tea is Snowflake Silver Needles. I don't have it anywhere else.” The Senior Martial Brother said, ”I forgot, this is Old Man Gu's treasure.” Gu Junshan laughed, ”That's right, I only grew three acres of this tea, and if I plant more, I won't be able to take it back. This tea is really my treasure, my tea shop is famous for relying on it, and selling one or two of these tea leaves is equivalent to six digits, moreover, my father asked for these seeds from overseas. Even if I lose my life, I can't let it die.”

The Senior Martial Brother said, ”My master also loves tea, but he has never tasted such a fragrant tea.” Gu Junshan said, ”It's not that difficult. Someone, come and give it to Guiyi to have a taste of it when you go back and give it to Big Brother Guan. It'll be my gift to Big Brother Guan.” The Senior Martial Brother felt flattered and said, ”This gift is too valuable, I can't accept it.” Gu Junshan said, ”What's wrong with it? A mortal like me can drink it, and Brother Guan can drink it too.”

I took a sip. Although I am not a person who loves tea, and I can't differentiate between good and bad, this tea is different from the ones I've had before. It is cold and mellow, and when it enters the mouth, it gathers like a piece of gelatinous substance, and as it slowly flows down the throat, I can feel the flow of the tea. The fragrance lingered for a long time, and then seeped out from the corners of my nose.

Inside was a few tea leaves, standing upright like silver needles. Gu Junshan laughed and said, ”Nephew Ju Yi, look at this small box, there are only fifty sets of tea leaves inside, it's not my fault, I can't drink too much of this Snow White Silver Needle, much less continue to drink it. If an ordinary person drinks this tea for two days straight, on the third day they'll be out of their wits, and they'll be able to drink this tea for one day when placed in the teapot, if Big Brother Guan likes to drink it here.”

I opened the teapot in front of me, and there was only one snow-white, needle-like tea in the teapot. With the tea in my hand, the ripples of the water didn't move at all, and with this teapot felt much heavier than the usual teapot that was filled with water, I silently activated the fox blood on my fingers and projected a sliver of my spiritual sense into the teapot. When I closed my eyes, I felt the tea in the teapot was like a pond in autumn.

I was scared to the point that I broke out in a cold sweat. Just now, I subconsciously thought that the Snowflake Silver Needle in the teapot was a living creature, otherwise I wouldn't have used my divine sense to investigate it. No matter how precious this Snowflake Silver Needle is, it's still just a tea leaves, but when I looked at the small box beside my senior opened, I couldn't help but to swallow my saliva.

Old Man Gu, Master heard from me that your health is not good, so he asked me to bring you some medicine to protect you. Seeing as Old Man Gu's condition today is much better than yesterday, even though it's 30% poison, you can't eat it if you can, but Master spent a lot of effort to make this medicine, so it's worth this box of Snowflake Silver Needles.

Gu Junshan was so happy when he saw his senior brother take out a small pill that the wrinkles on his face had piled up, ”How can I enjoy medicine made by big brother Guan personally? Seriously …” ”Ai, big brother Guan still remembers me …” After he had finished speaking, his face was filled with gratification and joy. It was as if he had received a great favor.

Jia Wen came over and took the medicine. The first senior brother then said, ”My master said that this medicine's spiritual energy dissipates when it sees light. Even if it encounters air, it will reduce the effect of the medicine. Old Man Gu, quickly eat it.” Gu Junshan nodded his head repeatedly, his senior brother looked up at the sky and said, ”It's getting late, let's head back.” Gu Junshan stood up to escort us out. His agile appearance was like a completely different person from yesterday.

After exiting the room, he waved goodbye to us at the door. ”Nephew Ju Yi, come often if you have nothing else to do.” It was as if his senior brother was really his nephew.

Leaving his line of sight, I heaved a sigh of relief, ”Senior Brother, isn't this Gu Junshan too exaggerated? It's just a pill, there's no need to be so happy that he's about to fly.” The Senior Martial Brother smiled and said, ”I said that this pill was personally concocted by Master, but isn't he happy? I specifically said that the air would reduce the effect of the pill. He's currently rushing back to take the pill right?”

The Senior Martial Sister said, ”Senior Martial Brother, when did you ask Great Master for the medicine? How come I didn't know about it?” The Senior Martial Brother said, ”I only lied to him. That medicine is just a sedative and hypnotic medicine. I'm afraid that he might not eat it and make up a lie. If he does, then he'll definitely fall asleep tonight, making it easier for us to take action.” I repeatedly gave a thumbs up in my heart.

This time, we can't go in through the main entrance, we have to climb over the wall. The senior brother is in front, the senior sister is in the middle, and I am in the back, walking with my back bent over. They jumped in through the window first, and just as I was about to jump, I suddenly felt a gaze on me, and turned my head but there was nothing.
