Tian Yi gulped the last mouthful of tea in the cup, and he released a long, relieving breath afterward. "Great tea," he said out loud.

Li Qinqin smiled at his exaggerated reaction to something as common as green tea.

However, her smile slowly turned bitter after realizing that he would be leaving after finishing this final cup of tea. "You'll be leaving now, right?" she asked him in a low voice.

Tian Yi nodded. "Right. However, before I go, I must thank you for the tour around your sect, and of course, this wonderful tea, today," he said.

He then waved his sleeves, and a cup of tea appeared on the table.

The cup was small, yet majestic; it looked plain at first, but upon closer inspection, one would be baffled by the complicated and profound secrets hidden within the golden line around the cup. The cup itself was made of white jade, and around the middle was a golden line that resembled a dragon.

"What a beautiful cup…" Li Qinqin could not help but mumble out loud upon seeing the jade-white teacup.

"You have given me great pleasure by introducing and serving me green tea; it is now my turn to serve you tea," said Tian Yi with a smile. "Try it— the Celestial Essence Tea."

Li Qinqin swallowed hard upon seeing the black-colored tea in the cup that flickered with lights as though there were really stars within.

What kind of tea was this— if it can even be called one. The liquid was pure black, looking like the night sky, and the flickering lights were the stars, as though the tea was actually a piece of the starry sky and not real tea.

Li Qinqin slowly hooked her fingers around the teacup's handle, and a cool feeling could be felt not only her hands but her entire body!

For her to be shocked by the teacup by merely touching it, what will happen if she were to drink what was in it?

Li Qinqin looked at Tian Yi who was still smiling calmly. After a moment of silence, she held the teacup near her lips with closed eyes, deciding to trust him and the Celestial Essence Tea.

Sip.

A cool feeling slid down her throat, and a profound taste assaulted her taste buds. Her eyes snapped wide open with flickering lights similar to the ones within the Celestial Essence Tea; it was as though the Celestial Essence Tea did not enter her stomach, but went directly to her eyes!

The flavor was mysterious and otherworldly— something she could not comprehend or describe no matter how hard she tried to discern the taste.

Glup.

Li Qinqin had intended to slowly sip the Celestial Essence Tea, however, as though her hands moved by itself, she poured the entire cup into her mouth and swallowed it in one go!

After finishing the Celestial Essence Tea, Li Qinqin stood there for a moment with a dazed expression to ponder the taste, her eyes still flickering with profound lights.

Li Qinqin could feel her body warming up after a moment. The warmth quickly turned to heat, causing her to sweat profusely.

"Haa...haaa…" Li Qinqin breathed heavily, her body burned with a strange feeling, and the light in her eyes flickered even brighter.

Her heavy breaths turned into panting, and she kneeled on the floor as though she was exhausted.

And suddenly, black substances began leaking from every pore on Li Qinqin's body, scaring her to no end.

"M-Meng Yi… W-What is happening to me? What was that drink?" she asked him nervously.

Tian Yi, with a calm expression, said, "That is the impurities within your body being cleansed."

"I-Impurities?!" Li Qinqin, despite being exhausted, cried out in shock.

To her knowledge, only cultivators at the Divine Realm and peerless treasures have the ability to clean their impurities!

Black, slimy substances quickly covered the floor around and on Li Qinqin like a puddle of slime, and a horrendously foul smell filled the room, causing Li Qinqin to turn red-faced from the situation.

Although she was ecstatic about her impurities being cleansed, the fact that she, a young maiden, was covered in black, slimy substances in front of another caused her heart to scream in pain. Additionally, with the foul smell in the room that was caused by her impurities, it only added insult to injuries, nearly causing her head to explode with embarrassment.

Tian Yi lifted an eyebrow at the pitch black impurities that formed a small pond on the floor. He didn't think she'd have this much impurity inside her.

Waving his sleeves, the impurities alongside the smell disappeared into thin air as though it never existed in the first place.

The cleaning process took only a few moments, but to Li Qinqin— who did not want Tian Yi to witness the process— it felt like an eternity.

Li Qinqin stood up from the floor after the cleaning process was done, her face still as red as a tomato.

"I… I am going to wash myself!" she said before hurrying herself into the bathroom that was also in the kitchen room.

Tian Yi wanted to tell her that she was already clean and that the effort wasn't necessary, but something deep within his heart told him that he should let her do as she pleased.

The sound of running water echoed in both the rooms, and Tian Yi silently sat there with a calm expression.

However, just as he retrieved his paper fan to fan himself, the door to the house was kicked down, and two figures walked inside with a serious expression.

"..." Tian Yi stopped his fanning to look at them with a frown.

"Father! It's him! It's definitely him! The intruder who broke your sword!" Zi Chen said loudly with his finger pointed at him.

Zi Yuhan looked at Tian Yi calmly, and the sound of running water entered his ears.

"... What boldness…" Zi Yuhan mumbled in shock. "You intruded into my Dragon Gate Sect for this? For a woman?"

A puzzled expression appeared on Tian Yi's face upon hearing Zi Yuhan's mumble. He did not understand the meaning behind his words.

"What do mean by intruding? I was brought here by a disciple of this sect," he said.

"I do not care if she is Li Liling's younger sister or elder sister, Outer Court Disciples like her does not have the authority to bring in visitors!" Zi Yuhan said.

"...." Tian Yi turned silent. What could he do at this point even if it was true?

"Meng Yi! What was that loud sound just now?" Li Qinqin asked from the bathroom.

Zi Yuhan's eyebrows slightly spasmed, and Zi Chen gritted his teeth in anger upon hearing her voice.

"L-Li Qinqin!!!" Zi Chen roared, sounding as though he just watched someone steal his wife. "You broke the sect rules to bring a man to your living quarters?! Do you have no shame?!"

Li Qinqin was dumbfounded upon hearing Zi Chen's voice resound in her house. What was he doing in her house? Even if he came for revenge, isn't this a bit too fast? She quickly dressed herself before walking out with her hair still soaking wet to see Zi Chen's ugly expression and Zi Yuhan who had an odd expression on his face standing by her broken door.

"D-Disciplinary Elder Zi?" Li Qinqin nearly cried out loud upon seeing Zi Yuhan. She had forgotten about Zi Chen's father being one of the four Disciplinary Elder of the sect!
