Chapter 101 Assisting Sang Yuebai

No matter how much it's delayed, the destination will still be reached.

Since Ye Tanji was personally visiting Zhaixing City, he naturally did not need to abide by the no-fly zone rules, nor did he need to queue at the city gate to enter the city.

The Azure Sword flew directly to the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion and slowly landed.

As Xi'er got up and stepped off the flying sword, the little dumpling thoughtfully supported her arm, then transformed into a palm-sized dumpling and took up her left shoulder.

On the right shoulder is the kitten form of Hongyuan. Although Ye Tanji really wanted to chop Hongyuan into pieces and throw it far away, he still held back.

Now that the Azure Sword Spirit Little Dumpling has taken over her left shoulder, Ye Tanji feels a little more at ease.

After all, the Azure Sword Spirit was his natal sword spirit, and was connected to his mind; in a sense, it was practically equivalent to him.

With the Azure Sword Spirit constantly making its presence felt, this cunning beast certainly won't be able to cause any trouble.

Sang Yuebai, the lord of Zhaixing City, and Ye Tanji are old friends. The two meet every two or three months to enjoy tea, wine, and music together.

During this Zerg crisis, Ye Tanji also had Steward Feng send a message to Sang Yuebai, telling him to prepare for the worst.

During the time that Ye Tanji left this world for the Dust Away Continent, Sang Yuebai also sent his trusted confidants to help him and, incidentally, to monitor the situation of the nine great families.

When Ye Tanji returned, Sang Yuebai was the first to receive the news. Knowing that he had found a way to resolve the crisis, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he never expected that Ye Tanji would take time out of his busy schedule to come and enjoy tea with him.

What surprised him even more was that this time he came on his own initiative, without any prior arrangement.

Sang Yuebai felt that this matter was strange, but he couldn't figure out the specific reason no matter how hard he tried.

Could it be that the Zerg crisis only appears to be resolved on the surface, but there are still underlying crises that haven't been addressed?

Sang Yuebai sensed his presence upon entering the city and personally went to the entrance of the city lord's mansion to greet him.

Then I witnessed the most shocking scene of my life!

The Azure Sword Spirit has actually transformed into a little dumpling? And it's even helping a young girl up very attentively?

The Azure Sword Spirit has always been as aloof as its master, rarely taking human form.

Occasionally, he would transform into human form, appearing as an arrogant young man, unapproachable to strangers. Even his old friend Ye Tanji wouldn't let him touch a sword hilt.

But now, he willingly lets a young girl ride on his back, even turning into a little dumpling and perching on her shoulder?

Sang Yuebai cast a questioning look at Po Xiao and Xun Ri, but the two of them were both looking up at the sky, clearly not wanting to explain the reason to him.

However, Sang Yuebai, having weathered many storms, immediately adopted a friendly smile and said, "The presence of the Palace Master is an honor to my humble abode! May I ask how this young lady is addressed?"

Xi'er was planning to part ways with Ye Tanji here, then he would go to the City Lord's Mansion for tea, while she would go shopping alone.

Then she saw a refined and handsome man across from her take the initiative to greet her.

When faced with a handsome man, especially one as refined and gentle as this, Xi'er simply cannot help but respond.

Moreover, judging from the tone of his words, he must be the owner of this city lord's mansion.

"Junior Bai Xi greets Lord City Lord! Since you have an appointment with the Palace Master, I will not disturb you any longer and will take my leave now!" Xi'er said politely.

Upon hearing her words, Sang Yuebai was momentarily at a loss for words.

He directly communicated with Ye Tanji telepathically: "What's going on? How should I answer?"

"Leave her here!" Ye Tanji transmitted his voice.

Both of them were top-tier cultivators, so their telepathic communication wouldn't be noticed by Xi'er.

Hearing his old friend's words, Sang Yuebai said warmly, "Since Miss Bai Xi has come to my doorstep, wouldn't it be too impolite of my City Lord's Mansion not to invite you in for a cup of tea, thus neglecting our distinguished guest?"

"Huh? This..." Xi'er was dumbfounded.

“Let’s go. The tea at the City Lord’s Mansion is all top-quality tea that’s priceless. It would be a shame to miss it,” Ye Tanji said.

"Thank you very much, Lord City Lord!" Xi'er said helplessly.

"Since you are Brother Ye Tan's friend, calling you Lord City Lord is too formal."

"My name is Sang Yuebai. People who know me well call me Lao Sang. Young friend Bai Xi, please call me Lao Sang from now on too." Sang Yuebai said in a very familiar manner.

Faced with such a gentle and refined handsome man, Xi'er simply couldn't bring herself to refuse.

But she's not Ye Tanji's friend at all!

Before this, she had never thought about her relationship with Ye Tanji, and now that she thought about it, it was hard to define.

First, she was not Ye Tanji's subordinate; second, she had only known him for a little over a month.

She simply went to the Night Pool Palace with Uncle Bo to deliver a message about the Zerg invasion to him.

Then, she took him to the Dust Continent to find her relatives and friends to help him prepare interferon.

Now, following him back to the Upper Realm of Cloud Abyss is only so that we can break through to a higher realm in this world.

If we were to define their current relationship, it would probably be that they are...guests residing in the Night Pool Palace?

But how could she explain this relationship to Sang Yuebai?

Ye Tanji noticed her embarrassment at a glance and said, "Old Sang is a very outgoing person. If you call him Lord City Lord, he will feel uncomfortable."

Since we're all friends, Xi'er, you can just call him Old Sang.

“Yes, yes, you call me Lao Sang, and I call you Xi’er, how friendly!” Sang Yuebai chimed in.

Then he received a cold look from his old friend: "How dare you call me Xi'er?" Such an intimate nickname should only be used for him.

Xi'er was completely bewildered by the two of them singing in unison.

What makes her so special? How did she become friends with these two big shots?

Sang Yuebai's previous words were actually a test of his old friend, to find out what his attitude was towards Bai Xi.

As a result, when Ye Tanji casually said, "We're all friends," he immediately understood what he meant.

Brother Ye Tan, this is like an iron tree that has bloomed after ten thousand years; you want to woo a young girl!

If it were just him and Ye Tanji at this moment, he would definitely burst into laughter.

Sang Yuebai naturally knew that it was not easy for his old friend to have such a wonderful day. As his old friend, no matter how much he was mocked afterward, he would do his best to help him at this moment.

"Xi'er, Brother Yetan, don't just stand at the gate, come inside with me for tea!" Sang Yuebai said.

At this point, even if Xi'er wanted to leave, she couldn't find a reasonable excuse, so she could only follow Sang Yuebai into the city lord's mansion.

Upon arriving at the flower hall, Xi'er first smelled the aroma of tea permeating the air, and then, following the aroma, saw the faint mist rising from the mist.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the swirling mist had actually formed a picture of a stream winding around a bamboo grove.

"Wow! What kind of tea is this? It's amazing!" Xi'er couldn't help but exclaim.

"This tea is called Mist-Hidden Tea. It is made by boiling and brewing snow that never melts. The steam that rises will turn into mist and create different patterns."

And the patterns that appear each time are different, but most of the time they are chaotic patterns.

"It's rare to see such a complete and evocative painting today; it's also a testament to your affinity with this tea!" Sang Yuebai exclaimed.

He brewed the Misty Hidden Tea with snow water only after receiving Ye Tanji's telepathic message, in order to fill the flower hall with the aroma of tea and a light mist, creating an atmosphere for tea tasting.

Unexpectedly, the Misty Tea performed exceptionally well today, directly condensing into a scene of a stream winding around a bamboo forest.

Upon hearing his words, Xi'er took out the recording stone without hesitation and recorded the scene before her.

She plans to show it to her friends and family later, since such a magical tea is something you might never see in your lifetime if it weren't for a stroke of luck.

She had initially felt immense pressure interacting with the two big shots, but after witnessing this spectacular tea mist, she felt the trip was worthwhile.
