Chapter 326: This is called Spirit Tea

~8 min read 1,434 words

After the three took their seats, Ye Chenjing personally took on the role of little assistant and began brewing tea for Lin Meng.

His movements were skilled and elegant, every gesture revealing noble bearing.

Yang Zhong standing nearby couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the grandson raised by Old Master Ye is still too well-rounded and excellent, with no pretension at all.

However he also noticed that the Ye family young man obviously likes Miss Lin, but probably hasn't caught up yet.

Thinking this, Yang Zhong grew ever more reluctant to slight Lin Meng.

Given Ye Chenjing's status, position, and outward conditions, he is absolutely a top-notch delicacy.

In his early years, it was heard that noble daughters rushing to propose marriage came in an endless stream, and even in the entertainment circle many female stars boldly declared their love, yet Ye Chenjing remained unmoved by all of it.

Even rumors said that this Ye family heir had been companion-less for years, surely due to some physical or mental issue, but now it looks like pure nonsense.

The way this kid looks at Lin Meng is unknown how deep his affection is; he isn't problematic, he just hadn't met someone he liked before.

Now that he's met her, looking at him, isn't he just a deep-feeling person?

Moreover, for this reason Yang Zhong had to reassess Lin Meng anew.

This little girl is absolutely not simple; even someone like Ye Chenjing has to follow behind her, chasing after her eagerly, and does so gladly—just see how outstanding she is!

Yang Zhong even felt that this Miss Lin might not be a junior from some hidden, mysterious family?

If that were truly the case, then her being able to produce a hundred-year or even thousand-year supply of wild ginseng would make sense.

Ye Chenjing had brewed the tea, and he presented the first cup to Lin Meng, saying:

"This is the top-grade Da Hong Pao that Elder Yang specially brought over; try it."

After Ye Chenjing finished speaking, Yang Zhong also came back to his senses and quickly added a line.

"I don't know what flavor Miss Lin likes, so I took the liberty to give you this Da Hong Pao, mainly because this batch of Da Hong Pao is extremely limited in production and cannot be bought outside."

"But if you don't like drinking tea, I can also go prepare something else—how about medicinal health tea?"

Lin Meng lifted the teacup and took a small sip; the flavor of the top-grade Da Hong Pao was indeed good, but having drunk Spirit Tea, she naturally looked down on it.

Upon hearing Yang Zhong's words, she hurriedly declined.

"Elder Yang, you're being too polite; there's no need to go to such expense—I myself also have tea leaves; this Da Hong Pao is indeed good, but compared to the tea I usually drink, it's still somewhat lacking."

After Lin Meng finished speaking, she set down the teacup with a calm expression.

Yet her words startled both Ye Chenjing and Yang Zhong.

Ye Chenjing was surprised only for a moment, then quickly regained his composure.

Lin Meng has in her hand many fine things that even astonish him; it's not strange that she could produce tea leaves even better than this.

Moreover, he had already guessed as much; otherwise, the tea leaves that Lin Meng once praised as delicious at his place wouldn't have been neglected.

Yang Zhong didn't expect Lin Meng to speak so bluntly—was she saying his Da Hong Pao was no good?

But Yang Zhong wasn't angry; on the contrary, he immediately became interested, smiling as he said to Lin Meng:

"Miss Lin saying that makes me a bit curious—may I, an old man, have the honor to sample your tea?"

Since Lin Meng said that, she had already decided to take some out to share.

This Chairman Yang is very courteous; despite his age and status, he puts on no airs, treating her with propriety, so she naturally won't be stingy.

Thus Lin Meng turned, reached her hand into the small bag she carried, and actually took out a tea canister from her space.

The tiny tea canister looks unimpressive; compared to true tea aficionados, it's quite ordinary.

Yang Zhong secretly thought, Miss Lin doesn't look like someone who studies tea as an old tea connoisseur; on what basis does she claim her tea is better than this top-grade Da Hong Pao?

But soon Yang Zhong felt ashamed of his narrow-minded notion, even having the urge to throw away his own Da Hong Pao.

Just because the instant Lin Meng opened the tea canister, an extremely rich yet remarkably distinctive tea aroma spread out, instantly making Yang Zhong feel refreshed and delighted.

Without even brewing the tea, without taking a sip, just smelling this tea fragrance one knows the Da Hong Pao has been completely outclassed.

This simply cannot be compared!

"Miss Lin, what variety is this tea of yours!"

Yang Zhong could not wait any longer, leaning his head forward to see what the tea leaves in the canister actually look like.

He too is an old tea lover, having tasted many fine teas, yet he has never smelled tea leaves like these.

Besides, Ye Chenjing secretly felt shocked; these days he's been working out intensely, his muscles sore and swollen.

But after smelling this tea fragrance just now, his muscle soreness actually disappeared!

Ye Chenjing even found it hard to believe, so he deliberately lifted his arm and twisted it, feeling it, and discovered it was true.

Lin Meng took in both of their expressions, the corners of her mouth slightly rising.

That's right, this kind of good thing—Spirit Tea—makes ordinary people react strongly just by smelling it.

She smiled and said to Yang Zhong:

"Chairman Yang, this tea of mine is not ordinary; I call it Spirit Tea—smelling it brings mental clarity and freshness, eliminating all fatigue; drinking a sip is even superior to miraculous elixirs."

After Lin Meng finished speaking, Yang Zhong fell completely silent, a shock flashing in his eyes that could not be restrained.

If someone else said this, he would only think that person was boasting too much, surely fake.

But since these words came from Lin Meng, he cannot help but believe!

Because he sensed it a bit, at this moment he truly feels mentally clear and refreshed, that bit of fatigue gone!

After Lin Meng finished speaking, she said no more, reached out and took a small spoon, scooping a bit of Spirit Tea from the canister—just about the size of a thumb's nail.

She handed the small amount of Spirit Tea she had scooped out to Ye Chenjing, pursing her lips and saying:

"Don't blame me for being stingy; my Spirit Tea is very precious, and I currently only have this tiny canister—being able to share this much is already generous of me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenjing looked at Lin Meng with indulgence, smiling and saying:

"Our Lin Meng is the most generous."

He knew Lin Meng wasn't joking, so he dared not treat these few tea leaves lightly, placing them carefully into the tea set and preparing them with care.

Before long, the rich aroma spread out, even attracting several magpies from the outside courtyard.

Yang Zhong could not help but want to taste it, and the shock in his heart kept deepening.

This tea truly deserves to be called spiritual tea, very spiritual, very spiritual; just smelling the rising steam makes one feel light-headed and elated.

More importantly, as the tea's aroma enters his nose, he feels warmth all over his body, so comfortable that he immediately narrows his eyes and enjoys it.

Ye Chenjing, who was in charge of brewing the tea, felt it even more deeply.

At that moment, he even felt that his bodily functions had suddenly strengthened, and it was not an illusion.

After the tea was ready, Lin Meng personally poured a cup for each of them.

"Old Yang, please."

Upon hearing that, Old Yang could not wait to pick up the teacup, not minding how hot the tea was, he brought it to his lips and took a cautious sip.

In an instant, a strange fragrance filled his mouth, then slid straight down into his stomach.

Before he could even savor it, Yang Zhong felt his whole body open up; a light inhale made his breathing smoother than ever, his aged body felt much looser, and he felt utterly refreshed.

"Amazing, this spiritual tea really is a miraculous elixir—how can it be so wondrous?!"
