In less than an incense stick's time, the elegant pavilion was filled with a rich tea aroma, and then the girl with tears in her eyes personally poured two cups of spiritual tea and served them.

"Two immortals, please have some tea." Although the girl was in the Nascent Soul stage, Fang Jian could clearly feel that the magic power and energy in her body were very weak. There was only one reason for this situation, that is, the girl's foundation was very poor and she did not have a good technique.

After the girl placed the jade tray for tea on the coffee table, she sat back down and concentrated on making tea.

Xu Xian then held up a cup of tea in his hands and handed it to Fang Jian, saying, "Master Hongqing, please."

Fang Jian smiled slightly, then reached out to take the teacup and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xu, please."

When the girl heard the words "Master Hongqing", she suddenly stopped making tea, then quickly and secretly raised her head to look at Fang Jian, and then continued to make tea calmly.

"Good tea!" Xu Xian couldn't help but exclaim after taking a sip of the magical tea. "It lives up to its name, 'Miluo Bitter Pure Land.' It's slightly astringent at first, then turns bitter. But after swallowing, the throat is filled with a sweet and refreshing aroma. It's worth the 50,000 merit flowers."

After saying that, Xu Xian turned around and praised the girl: "You cook well too, you have great skills."

Upon hearing this, the girl smiled professionally and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you for the compliment, Immortal."

Xu Xian turned around, looked at Fang Jian who was sipping tea, and asked, "What do you think, Master Hongqing?"

Fang Jian said, "It tastes OK. I know very little about tea, wine, calligraphy, and painting, so I'm naturally not as refined as Fellow Daoist Xu."

Xu Xian laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "Master Hongqing is too modest. Master Hongqing's great name is known to everyone in the world of Jambu. This is something I, Xu Xian, cannot compare to."

Fang Jian said calmly, "It's just empty reputation."

Xu Xian said, "A false reputation that makes evil spirits tremble in fear?"

Fang Jian said, "Indeed, this kind of empty reputation is useless. Exorcising evil spirits and destroying demons is not exclusive to our Heavenly Court. There are also many great virtues in Taoism and Buddhism who are good at slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits. Isn't their reputation among them higher than ours, Fang Jian?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xian immediately sat up straight, bowed, and asked, "May I ask what is the great wish of Master Hongqing?"

For ordinary people it is called "ambition", and for monks it is called "great wish".

Fang Jian frowned. He had never thought about such a thing as a great wish. But since Xu Xian asked, Fang Jian pondered for a moment, then replied very straightforwardly: "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it."

"..." Xu Xian was startled when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "I'm sorry for being so abrupt."

Then the two of them drank tea and chatted. About an hour later, Cen Biqing and Bai Suzhen came to Qingming Tower and found the two people who were drinking tea.

"Great! My sister and I have been shopping happily, and you're here drinking tea." Cen Biqing walked in quickly. When she saw the tear marks under the eyes of the tea-making girl, she was slightly startled, but quickly ignored her and said to Xu Xian and Fang Jian, "Come on, there's a dragon boat race going on in Yaochi Tianjie today. We can take a dragon boat to the Milky Way for a tour."

Xu Xian became interested upon hearing this and immediately stood up and said, "I've heard about the Dragon Boat Festival in Tianhefang for a long time. Today I finally got to see it. Let's go without further delay."

Fang Jian had heard of this dragon boat festival in Penglai Tianjie. Specifically, every once in a while, Tianhefang would randomly land a dragon boat in one of the four major Tianjies. The dragon boat would stay at the port of this Tianjie for seven hours. Anyone who boarded the boat within seven hours could ride the dragon boat into Tianhe to see the magnificent scenery of the universe.

Of course, getting on the boat also requires merit, 100,000 merits per person.

"Let's go." Cen Biqing hurriedly urged Xu Xian and Fang Jian.

The girl who was making tea sat there. Even though there was a lot of noise around her, she remained as still as a mountain and made tea until Xu Xian spoke to her.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to make tea. Let's just stop here. We are leaving." Xu Xian said to the girl.

Upon hearing this, the girl slowly stood up, bowed to Xu Xian, and extinguished the spiritual fire used to make tea with a wave of her finger.

Then the girl reached out from her sleeve with her left hand, and a jade ring immediately appeared in her hand.

At this time, Cen Biqing and his group had already walked out of the pavilion. Fang Jian happened to be walking at the back, with one foot already stepped out.

Seeing this, the girl bit her lower lip with her jade teeth and frowned tightly. It was not until her teeth bit through her upper lip and the bright red blood flowed into her mouth that she made up her mind. She rushed forward and shouted to Fang Jian who had already walked out of the elegant pavilion, "Sir, please stay."

The first to stop was Xu Xian, then Bai Suzhen and Cen Biqing. Fang Jian continued walking forward. Seeing that Fang Jian didn't seem to notice she was calling him, the girl called out again, "Sir, please stay."

It was only when Fang Jian saw the looks in Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen and Cen Biqing's eyes that he realized the voice behind him was calling him. He was very surprised. He was not the one who treated her to dinner and paid for it, so shouldn't she call Xu Xian?

But despite this, Fang Jian stopped and turned to look behind him.

The girl with tear marks on her eyes came forward holding an extremely exquisite jade ring in her hands. She lowered her head and said to Fang Jian, "My Lord, your jade ring has fallen."

Fang Jian glanced at the jade ring in the girl's hand, then turned to Xu Xian and asked, "Is this yours?"

Xu Xian was also a little stunned. He looked at the jade ring carefully and said, "...this...this is not mine?"

Fang Jian heard this and then said to the girl: "This jade ring is not..."

But before Fang Jian could finish, the girl suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with fear, determination, and pleading as she stared at him. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, "My Lord, this jade ring was truly left behind by you. If you don't believe me... you can return to the pavilion, and I... I... I'll show it to you."
