Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(93) I Came to Guide You to Enter Buddhism

Since he wanted to drink tea, Chu Qing-Yan found a tea shop. Although the place wasn't big, it was neat and clean.

"Honored guest, what kind of tea do you want to drink?" A waiter enthusiastically asked with a towel over his shoulder.

After the group of people sat down, Chu Qing-Yan smiled and asked. "May I ask proprietor, what kinds of tea do you have?"

"We have Oolong tea, Bi Luo Chun, Tie Guan Yin, and all kinds of flower tea." The waiter familiarly replied.

"What kinds of flower tea do you have?" Chu Qing-Yan became interested in the flower teas.

"We have Jasmine tea, chrysanthemum tea, osmanthus tea, water-lily tea...."

Chu Qing-Yan waited for him to finish before turning to speak to Xu Xian who sat there peacefully as a beautiful male. "What tea does the great master want to drink?"

"I'll let female benefactor decide." Xu Xian smiled in reply.

Chu Qing-Yan felt that the water-lily tea wasn't bad and really suited his temperament, so she asked for a pot.

The waiter immediately responded and turned around to go prepare the tea.

Chu Qing-Yan held her chin in her hands and looked at the person in front of her. She felt that this way of looking at each other, yet not saying anything was quite awkward, so she thought of a topic to break the ice.

"Great master, awhile ago I saw you make those people retreat with just a wave of your hand, is that the legendary inner force?"

Xu Xian heard this and smiled faintly. "You could say it like that."

"The great master doesn't seem very old, how long has it been since you entered Buddhism?" The tea hadn't come yet, so Chu Qing-Yan racked her brains for a topic to discuss.

"Since childhood, I've been brought up in the temple." Xu Xian replied.

Eh, after he finished saying that sentence, it was another awkward silence.

Xu Xian seemed to have seen through that she was looking for a topic to discuss and smiled faintly. "Benefactor doesn't need to especially take care of me, just being casual is fine."

She was seen through so easily? Chu Qing-Yan rubbed her nose, fortunately the tea came just in time to help cover her discomfort.

Xi Ning stepped forward to pour tea for two people. Chu Qing-Yan picked up a cup and blew on it. She took a sip and found the taste wasn't bad, the faint water-lily scent also had a bit of bitterness, there must've been lotus seeds placed inside. It had the efficacy of alleviating fever and was also good for detoxification.

"The taste isn't bad." Chu Qing-Yan praised from the bottom of her heart. When she put down her cup, she saw Xu Xian just sitting there, one hand holding the Buddhist beads and the other hand was stretched forward. He had his eyes closed and gave off a feeling of being isolated from the outside world.

She couldn't help but happily exhale a breath. "Great master, did you come to smell the tea fragrance instead of to drink the tea?"

Xu Xian smiled faintly. "The fragrance is a part of the tea, just knowing a little will let you know its taste. Whether to drink it or not is actually not that important."

Chu Qing-Yan raised a brow. This person was too dull, drinking tea was like chanting a sutra. But no matter how he drank the tea, it had nothing to do with her. In any case, she was only responsible for paying for it.

Just as Chu Qing-Yan was drinking her second cup, the person in front of her opened his eyes to look toward her with neither sadness nor joy in his eyes. "Female benefactor, this poor monk has one thing he doesn't understand."
