"Oh, is it just the young lady alone today?" The man said with a smile as he stepped forward, waving his folding fan as if he were displaying his elegant demeanor, and then bowed to Lu Qingyan: "Greetings, young lady of the Tian family."
Lu Qingyan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you here to buy wine or tea?"
The leader chuckled twice and looked Lu Qingyan up and down: "There are many kinds of wine in the world, and they all taste pretty much the same; there are also many kinds of tea sold in the world, which are nothing more than leaves and water. What I want today is different. I want the wine brewed by the Immortal Spring and the hot tea brewed with the Jade Pool Dew that Lady Tian prepares for me."
When the man mentioned the Immortal Spring and the Jade Pool Dew, his gaze lingered on Lu Qingyan's chest and waist, and the men behind him laughed even more unrestrainedly.
An old man drinking nearby couldn't stand it any longer and pointed at the young man's nose, scolding, "Why are you making things difficult for people like this? What kind of wine is brewed with divine spring water? What kind of tea is made with celestial dew from the Jade Pool?"
"Hmph, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you can't find it, it's because she's incompetent."
The old man retorted, "Since you look down on others for their lack of ability, why are you drinking wine and tea in their shop?"
"You old codger, stop meddling in other people's business!" The richly dressed young man, in a fit of anger, kicked the old man in the chest.
"Uncle!" Lu Qingyan exclaimed and quickly stepped forward to help the old man up.
The old man was quite old, and even though the playboy who had attacked him was mostly exhausted, the old man had already fainted from that kick. Lu Qingyan was extremely anxious upon seeing this: "System, quickly check his body to see if he's alright?"
The system immediately scanned the old man's body as instructed by Lu Qingyan and reported the results: "Grandpa is in good health, with only a minor external injury. It's nothing serious. Master, would you like me to use 2 of your points to treat him?"
"Go ahead and use it," Lu Qingyan readily agreed. A matter of life and death shouldn't be about wasting a few points. Besides, she couldn't openly use the spiritual spring water in front of so many people, so she had to rely on the system.
Lu Qingyan didn't expect that after the system deducted 2 points from her, it fed the old man the spiritual spring water from her space.
Lu Qingyan: "!!!" System, how can you become more and more cunning?
When the spoiled young master saw the young lady he had been eyeing help a piece of orange peel, his face darkened instantly: "Lady Tian, your hands should be properly cared for, how could you help a lowly commoner?"
"You dare to lay a hand on an old man who has no defenses? I don't think you're any good!" Lu Qingyan said, grabbing a carrying pole piled up behind the door and starting to attack him.
The system, undeterred by the blazing fire, cheered loudly, "Go, Master! Go, Master!"
Someone in a private room on the second floor of the restaurant was secretly watching the commotion. When they saw Lu Qingyan chasing after that frivolous young man and hitting him, they burst out laughing and said, "Hahaha, this young lady has quite the fiery temper."
Seeing him laugh heartily, the attendant beside him, trying to guess his master's thoughts, suggested, "If Your Majesty is so inclined, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take that young lady as a concubine."
The master shook his head and refused, saying, "This is not appropriate. My status is different from hers. If I really do this, who knows how many people will criticize me at home tomorrow. Xiao Anzi, you know that not just anyone can enter our mansion."
