AST 2210 - Young Master Tai’s Women (1/2)

“You have such a nice thing and you’re interested in my wine recipe?” The woman was confused.

“Let me put it this way. I have at least three types of wine that can compare to your Fragrance Wine. However, I just want to expand my collection. Also, I can improve your recipe after getting it. I can add in some other things which should make it better than before,” Qing Shui thought and said indirectly.

The woman looked at the Plum Blossom Wine in her hand. There was only less than half a glass of wine remaining. She held it close to her lips and drank it. Qing Shui felt wonderful watching the crystal clear liquid running down the moist and pretty lips.

“I can give you the recipe. Forget about your own. But, can you let me taste it when you make the Fragrance Wine later?” Nalan Qing stared at Qing Shui and said.

“This is not a demand. I will give as many as you want by then. Ask for something else; I will fulfill your needs as long as they are within my limits,” Qing Shui said seriously.

“I don’t desire anything else. This is the recipe. Go away, I want to be alone,” Nalan Qing said as she put the recipe in front of Qing Shui and left.

Qing Shui had a look at the recipe; the ingredients stated could be easily found. Yet, there were some requisitions such as to be exposed under the sun for certain length of time, a measure of exposure to be air dried, what the ratio was and so on.

After obtaining the recipe, Qing Shui and Young Master Tai left the Fragrance Shack. They were upset and wondered if they had just been chased away.

“Younger brother, since we are here, we shall visit my place no matter what!” Young Master Tai said to Qing Shui at that moment and he walked out of Nalan Qing’s.

Qing Shui initially wanted to go back, but after listening to Young Master Tai, he thought and nodded, “Alright, sorry for troubling you.”

“What are you saying? Regardless of how you see me, whether as a foppish man or a useless son of a rich man, I will still treat you as my brother. I said it before; I will return the favor. Don’t think that I’m unrealistic. There is no unconditional love or hate without reasons in this world anyway,” Young Master Tai sounded serious.

Qing Shui never thought that this fellow could say something factual like this. This statement was very true, just like how a man likes a beautiful woman. A woman’s beauty could be a valid reason, even though it was superficial and brutal. This was just an excuse.

“Alright, let’s go then. I will have a friend in the Pure Domain next time,” Qing Shui said with a smile.

“Haha, okay, I have a friend now too! You are my first friend,” Young Master Tai said seriously.

Qing Shui gave Young Master Tai a perplexed look.

“Don’t give me that look. Disreputable friends, those who enjoy the good moments with you, there are many of them. After all, I’m just a young master without much power. Those friends don’t actually treat me as a friend and we all know that very well. I don’t have genuine friends. Although I have a good background, maybe because of my own ability, I can’t get real friends. You are my first actual friend.”

Qing Shui understood. This fellow was the only son of the family after all. Great warriors would be protecting him. Qing Shui could sense that. Usually, without a real life threat, these people would not show up. As a warrior, one could not break through without experiencing dangers and obstacles.

Taiqing Immortal Palace!

It required a certain foundation to be able to bring the title of Taiqing in the Pure Domain. Taiqing Immortal Palace was one of them. In the Pure Domain, Taiqing Immortal Palace was in the top ten. The top ten knew each other personally despite being opponents or competitors. As for the name of a Sect, if one could claim the name of Taiqing, nobody would question it.

Yet, without strength, they would not dare to carry the title even if it was given to them. In general, a force carrying the name of the domain indicated that it was able to represent the whole domain. It would face some external challenges such as the threats from the powerful forces around it.

The Taiqing Immortal Palace had been standing for ages. It was definitely an enormous thing in the Pure Domain. However, it was a great challenge for them in the Young Master Tai’s generation. It was difficult to get over this generation. Young Master Tai’s children were growing up too. They needed the next few generations to compensate for it.
