Chapter 260 - Tea Fairy (2/2)

Then, his words became sharp and forceful. ”However, even if the inheritance of ancient Celestial Empire culture has not been as good as before, no one can challenge it casually!”

Suddenly, the audience burst into applause.

When the applause subsided, Gao Fengwen continued speaking. ”Take Celestial Empire medicine as an example. Although foreigners have learned a lot from us recently, the roots are still in Celestial Empire.

Facts speak louder than words. You may have heard that Qin Haodong, a doctor south of the Yangtze River, successfully developed the Blood Revival Oral Liquid, which can cure leukemia thoroughly, a few days ago.

This is not only joyous news for more than 4 million leukemia patients in Celestial Empire, but also a symbol of the re-emergence of Celestial Empire medicine. I believe that, from now on, Celestial Empire medicine will get better and better and reproduce the brilliance of the old days!”

Gao Fengwen's passionate words ignited the passion of all the Celestial Empire people. Once again, enthusiastic applause and cheers were heard from the audience.

Qian Duoduo came to the stage again and said happily, ”The heads of the two delegations just gave their speeches. When it comes to the inheritance of ancient Celestial Empire culture, which part is stronger? The south of the Yangtze River or Nihon? It will soon be revealed. Please wait and see.”

His words were very skillful. He had described Celestial Empire as the south of the Yangtze River. Even if Celestial Empire lost, it wouldn't be a total disaster. After all, the south of the Yangtze River was only a region, so it could not represent the whole country.

Then, he went on to say, ”The event order of this exchange was put forward by the delegation of Nihon. The first event is the tea ceremony exchange.

According to the rules, each party will dispatch a representative who is proficient in the tea ceremony. If the representative fails, he or she can either admit defeat on the spot or send in another representative. Best two out of three. The failure of the third representative of one party will equal the failure of that party.

We have 10 judges who are tea ceremony experts. In order to ensure justice, we prepared 20 cups with different numbers.

Each contestant will pour his or her tea into ten cups by chance. Our staff will register the number on the spot. Then, each judge will taste the tea of the contestants respectively and choose the best one.”

Qin Haodong nodded silently. This was the fairest way to do this. The judges would only know the number of the teacup, so they wouldn't favor either party.

After reading out the rules, Qian Duoduo invited both players to come on the stage. The representative of Celestial Empire was Hua Mingli, the president of the Tea Ceremony Association. On the side of Nihon, a beautiful woman in a kimono came up. She was Ai Yagyuu from the Yagyuu family.

The two beautiful women immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the audience. It was interesting that both of them had distinctive titles. Hua Mingrui was called the Tea Fairy, while Ai Yagyuu was the Beautiful Tea Saint.

Her hair had been twisted into a bun and her skin was whiter than snow, so Ai Yagyuu looked very elegant in her kimono. Meanwhile, Hua Mingrui was wearing a black silk cheongsam that set off her exquisite, elegant figure. The two women each had their own charm.

However, Ai Yagyuu had a pair of phoenix eyes and a black mole on her left lip. According to Celestial Empire facial science, this woman was superficial and mean.

The staff had already set up two tea tables on the stage. Ai Yagyuu sat down at her table, looked at Hua Mingrui across from her, and said, ”You can't compare with me. I am called the Beautiful Tea Saint in Nihon.”

”I'm sorry, I don't know anything about that small place. I only know that we have a medical saint in Celestial Empire. I have never heard of a Beautiful Tea Saint.”

The two women had a verbal battle before the tea ceremony competition. The audience looked at them with great interest.

Qin Haodong knew what was going on. When it came to martial arts and the tea ceremony, one's state of mind was the most important factor during a confrontation between masters. One was bound to fail if his or her mind was distracted. Ai Yagyuu was trying to disturb Hua Mingrui, but Hua Mingrui was a tough person who fought back with sharp words.

Ai Yagyuu said again, ”I know you. You are the president of the Jiangnan Tea Ceremony Association. I heard that you are called Tea Fairy. However, there are many hidden rules in all walks of life in Celestial Empire. I don't know if you won your title with your real ability or by sleeping with men.”

These words were more aggressive. Although her first sentence was okay, the second one was a personal attack.

Hua Mingrui replied calmly, ”You are wrong, Miss Yagyuu. One has to possess charm to sleep with men. For example, although your face is pretty, your waist is a little thick and your breasts are not big enough. In your country, there must be men who are willing to flirt with you. However, you have absolutely no chance in our country.”

Qin Haodong almost laughed. Hua Mingrui looked like a floating fairy, but she was not weak when it came to bickering with people. It seemed that the Nihon woman's trick had been useless.

”You...” Ai Yagyuu's face changed as she said, ”Celestial Empire people are only good at talking. Let's fight by using our real abilities.”

”That would be best!” said Hua Mingrui lightly.

The two women stopped talking and began to make tea by using the tea set in front of them. Their tea sets were the same, and the tea leaves provided by the sponsors were exactly the same. Even the water used for making tea came from the same bucket. Their accomplishments in the tea ceremony would be tested.

The tea ceremony, just like Martial Arts, belonged to one of the ancient cultures of Celestial Empire. It had existed for thousands of years and included many schools and techniques. Tea made by different methods was totally different in aroma, taste and color.

A nice tea-making technique could bring the fragrance of tea into full play, making people feel refreshed and nourished.

When the water was boiled, Ai Yagyuu shot a provocative look at Hua Mingrui and began her own tea ceremony process.
