1503 I Refined and Washed the Spirit Tea
Chi Shuyan wasn’t stupid. From the conversation just now, she could tell that the young man in front of her, Fan Yin, and that Fan Ping had a lot of bad blood between them. She naturally chose to stand on Fan Yin’s side, not to mention that Fan Ping had just scolded her. Chi Shuyan had always been a vengeful person. Thinking this, her eyes flashed. She wasn’t in a hurry to say anything, but readily followed him to the private room.
As for the money from the spirit tea auction, she wasn’t in a hurry to collect it. In any case, it wasn’t much, and she trusted Manager Qian. He would probably transfer the money to her card, so she said a few words to the person at the counter of the Jing Auction House before she left with the Fan family.
As soon as Chi Shuyan left, Manager Qian arrived. He was feeling guilty, mainly because he hadn’t done a good job of auctioning off Miss Chi’s spirit tea this time and hadn’t thought things through. Firstly, the price wasn’t high. Secondly, the most important thing was that he hadn’t thought things through, and had auctioned off Miss Chi’s spirit tea after the Jing family’s spirit tea. Wasn’t that embarrassing Miss Chi?
Thinking this, Manager Qian felt guilty. He asked the person at the counter and found out that Miss Chi had left with the Fan family. Manager Qian was quite puzzled as to how she knew the Fan family, but he was also worried that Miss Chi had left because she was unhappy.
Manager Qian was extremely worried. In the private room, Chi Shuyan and the Fan family members were eating lunch, and the atmosphere was especially harmonious.
Chi Shuyan was quite good at handling a situation, and Fan Yin was easy to get along with. As for Fan Chunyang, Fan Xi, and Fan Zheng, they didn’t put on airs and were broad-minded, and had a good impression of her. However, they were still worried that Fan Ping would go back and complain, and that Fan Yin had squandered money recklessly by buying the wrong spirit tea. Although this amount of money wasn’t much to the Fan family, Fan Ping and the others could accuse Fan Yin of being incompetent. Speaking of which, apart from his reputation, the most important thing about Brother Yin’s rocky status all these years was that his cultivation level wasn’t as high as Fan Ping’s. Moreover, he hadn’t done anything concrete, so the family was very divided.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Uncle Fan was Fan Yin’s father, this heir might have been crippled long ago. Thinking this, Fan Xi was quite worried for his cousin. Seeing his cousin talk to the young lady in front of him without a care in the world, Fan Xi felt a little helpless.
Fan Yin was generous to begin with, and had enthusiastically invited Chi Shuyan to a meal. The more they spoke, the more he felt that he and the young lady in front of him were like-minded. If it wasn’t for the fact that the young lady was too young, he would really be moved. Moreover, she was probably an ordinary person. His family’s situation wasn’t good, and it wouldn’t be good for her if he really brought her back. Thinking this, Fan Yin completely gave up on his initial thoughts and just said familiarly, “Shuyan, do you want to try the spirit tea I bought? I bought a lot. How about I give you a few jars? By the way, why were you at the Jing Auction House?”
Chi Shuyan had indeed been a little hungry before. Now that she was full, and hearing the other party promote the spirit tea he had bought, the corners of Chi Shuyan’s mouth twitched fiercely. She had washed this thing with her spiritual energy, and the last thing she lacked was spirit tea. She immediately waved her hand and refused. “No need!”
Unexpectedly, as soon as she refused, Fan Yin’s face suddenly darkened and turned very unsightly. He said, “Why? You just said that the spirit tea I bought is better than the Jing family’s spirit tea, but now you dislike my spirit tea? You don’t think much of it?”
Fan Yin hated hypocrites.
Chi Shuyan didn’t expect this Fan Yin person in front of her to not only be a little delusional, but also think too much. She took a tissue and wiped her mouth unhurriedly before she said, “I was the one who refined this spirit tea. It was my first time using the Jing Auction House to auction it off. Do you think I lack this spirit tea?”
Fan Yin, whose eyes were wide and stupefied: …
Fan Zheng, Fan Chunyang and Fan Xi: …
Not to mention Fan Yin, who was dumbfounded after listening to Chi Shuyan, even Fan Xi and the others were stupefied. They couldn’t close their mouths for a long time.
Fan Yin was the first to snap back to his senses. At that moment, he stared in disbelief at the spirit tea on the side and then at the woman in front of him. His whole body stiffened and he stood up abruptly in disbelief. “What… what did you say?”
“That’s right, Miss Chi, what… what did you just say?”
Fan Xi, Fan Zheng and Fan Chunyang were really scared by the young lady’s words. When they came back to their senses, their first thought was that she was definitely joking.
The young lady in front of them repeated, “I auctioned off this spirit tea for the first time at the Jing Auction House. I didn’t expect Young Master Yin to be the only one in the hall with such discerning eyes! Impressive! Impressive!”
Chi Shuyan was indeed impressed that this kid had taken a fancy to her spirit tea. She was naturally confident that the spirit tea she washed was much better than the Jing family’s. She had tasted the Jing family’s spirit tea before, and it wasn’t as rich in spiritual energy as hers. It was a pity that too few people could see what was good.
As soon as Chi Shuyan finished speaking, everyone’s faces, including Fan Yin’s, turned very stiff and unsightly. Fan Yin’s face was even uglier and stiffer, and he couldn’t even squeeze out a smile. He wanted to f*cking cry. He swallowed his saliva and suddenly gritted his teeth and asked, “Are you… serious?”
Speaking of which, Fan Yin had bought this spirit tea because Manager Qian had said that it was made by a very famous alchemist. However, this young lady in front of him didn’t seem like an alchemist no matter how he looked at her. Even if she were an alchemist, she probably wasn’t famous. He had never heard of her name at all, to say nothing of the fact that she was a young girl. Could it be that he had really been scammed by Manager Qian?
Thinking this, Fan Yin’s heart turned cold. Seeing the young lady in front of him nod, Fan Yin felt even more despair. Fan Xi and the others also looked despairing. If they had known, they would have tried their best to stop Fan Yin from buying so many jars of spirit tea in the main hall.
Although Fan Yin felt a little despair, he still admired the young lady in front of him. Moreover, she had spoken up for him at the Jing Auction House just now. For this reason, even if he had wasted all his money, Fan Yin felt that it was at least better than wasting it on scraps. Besides, it was too late for regrets now. He couldn’t bear to berate her. His face was stiff as he stuttered, “Thank… thank you!”
Chi Shuyan had lived two lifetimes and was a shrewd person. How could she not see the drastic changes in the faces of the Fan family members when they found out that she was the one who had washed the spirit tea? She wanted to laugh at the despair on their faces. She didn’t care if they believed her or not. In any case, they wouldn’t regret it after tasting the spirit tea. After thinking for a moment, she got straight to the point. “Young Master Yin, how about a deal? Give me that Golden Lotus, and I will refine four Advancement Pills for you. How about that?”
