"This girl is truly remarkable," Li Wenyi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"To gain Brother Li's recognition, I can say that my efforts were not in vain." Ye Shuang smiled and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. This tea was made from tea leaves from the cultivation world, and then it was brewed repeatedly with mortal water more than ten times. This made the spiritual energy in the tea less abundant, so the color of the tea was almost as light as clear water. Only by looking closely could one see a slight turbidity.
Li Wenyi wasn't a fan of this kind of thing; for him, any water or tea that could quench his thirst was good water or good tea. Ma Rencai, on the other hand, loved to appreciate tea. He would first smell its aroma, then taste its flavor, and finally recall its bittersweet aftertaste.
So when the two of them took their first sip of tea, the continuous texture, the taste they had never experienced before, and even the strange sensation deep within their bodies all indicated that this tea was extraordinary.
Before they could even marvel, a cacophony of exclamations and noises burst in from outside, ruining the beautiful scene before them. Even Ma Rencai, one of his colleagues, couldn't help but frown. This place was indeed only suitable for a small group to appreciate; once there were too many people, it lost its serene beauty.
Yuwen Leng pulled a few of the more respectable people in the yamen to sit next to him, and squeezed the monster into the seat furthest away from them and Ma Rencai.
Ye Shuang found it somewhat amusing, but she still left the space to the men while she went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. The dishes were not made by her, but were authentic Jiangnan cuisine prepared by a famous chef from Jiangnan in the mortal realm. Fearing that these officials might not be used to the food, she also invited a famous chef from the capital to prepare several elaborate dishes. She was keeping them warm with her spiritual power, and they were not only not cold at all, but looked as if they had just come out of the pot.
Ye Shuang served dozens of dishes in two separate servings. Of course, she also bought the most popular Zhuangyuanhong wine. Finally, she sat down between Li Wenyi and Ma Rencai and raised her wine glass.
"Taking this opportunity to celebrate your housewarming, I would like to thank Lord Li and Master Ma for their kindness and support. It was thanks to them that A Leng was able to get the chance to work in the yamen. I hope you brothers will continue to take good care of me in the future. I'll drink this cup of wine in advance as a sign of my respect."
After saying that, Ye Shuang looked up and finished the wine in her cup.
"good!"
"Miss Ye is so generous!"
"Miss Ye is truly a heroine among women!"
...
Immediately after a round of cheers, everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.
"Don't worry, Miss Ye. From now on, A Leng will be our brother."
"That's right, Miss Ye, Ah Leng is incredibly skilled. We'd love for him to take good care of us!"
"Miss Ye, don't worry, we get along very well."
...
Li Wenyi and Ma Rencai also finished their drinks.
"Miss Ye, don't worry, A Leng is very capable, there's no need to worry," Li Wenyi gently advised.
Ma Rencai also said, "Miss Ye, A Leng is really lucky to have a master like you."
Ye Shuang smiled gently: "I just did what I should do. A Leng has done so much to take care of me along the way, and now she's a constable for my sake..."
“Miss, this is what I should do.” Yuwen Leng interrupted Ye Shuang’s next words. “You don’t need to say anything more. As long as I am here, I will never leave you.”
Ye Shuang smiled helplessly and could only nod, "Fine, you're free anyway, you can do whatever you want."
Li Wenyi glanced at Ye Shuang, then at Yuwen Leng, seemingly understanding something, before downing another cup of wine.
