He had asked that kid Emperor Yi of Shang, and he knew that these four kinds of things were colorless and tasteless, so they shouldn't be discovered!
Uh...if I get discovered, it would be Xing'er making tea. I'm a grown man, how could I do something like making tea?
Yeah, that’s right, that’s what I said!
