Chapter 323 Where is there still a chance to drink with Master?
Shen Qingyi smiled at him.
"It must have been my nephew's doing."
Yu Yan rested one hand on the edge of the stone table and picked up a wine glass with the other, swirling it slightly.
"Senior brother, you've arrived just in time."
Shen Qingyi sat down directly opposite Yu Yan, next to Li Ze, who had tried to get up but was pressed down by him.
He conjured a jade wine cup with his bare hands, pushed it in front of Li Ze, and said in a gentle voice...
"Thank you for your trouble, my junior apprentice."
Li Ze lifted the wine jar and filled it to the top for the other person.
He kept saying "Don't be so polite, Uncle-Master" while inwardly he was wailing in despair.
With his senior uncle around, how could he possibly have the chance to drink with his master?
Yu Yan took a small sip of the wine in her glass, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.
The taste of this wine... is that of moon bamboo peach!
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, and with just a slight glance, a hint of satisfaction appeared between her brows.
"Not bad, Xiaoze, shouldn't I reward you?"
"I wonder how many peaches Junior Nephew Li picked from the main peak while I was away?"
Shen Qingyi interjected with a playful expression.
He glanced at Li Ze and then downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.
The sentence, which seemed like a question, was actually a joke.
He used to think that Li Ze always liked to run to the back of the main peak because he was playful.
After learning that it was because his junior sister liked Yue Zhutao from the main peak, he never used Li Ze's little braid again.
He even specially assigned several disciples to take care of the moon bamboo and peach trees.
Back when Master was alive, Junior Sister never showed any interest in the Moon Bamboo Peach on the back mountain of the main peak.
Li Ze silently lowered his eyes and poured wine for the two of them.
From an angle unnoticed by Yu Yan and Shen Qingyi, the corners of his lips curled up arrogantly, and a blush spread behind his ears.
Master praised him again!
His master even said he would reward him!
What kind of reward should he receive?
Li Ze felt as if he were immersed in a jar of sweetness, his heart filled with Yu Yan's response to his new recipe.
As for Shen Qingyi's teasing, he might have felt embarrassed in the past when his master was around, but now, he simply didn't have the time for that.
Shen Qingyi's mind raced. He glanced up and noticed the woman's eyes subtly curving upwards. He asked,
"Junior sister likes it?"
Yu Yan picked up the wine glass that her apprentice had thoughtfully filled, her fingertips lightly tracing the rim of the glass. She nodded, her smile becoming even more unrestrained.
Li Ze felt a warm glow in his heart, knowing that all his efforts in preparing this formula had been worthwhile.
It seems that Master prefers peach wine to peach blossom wine.
Shen Qingyi raised an eyebrow slightly, "How come I never noticed before that Junior Sister likes peaches so much?"
Even though Yan Hui Peak is covered with peach trees all year round, Shen Qingyi knows better than anyone that those peach trees only bloom but do not bear fruit, since he was the one who found the trees.
He and his master helped plant it back then.
Yu Yan froze.
The woman slightly furrowed her brows, as if she was seriously considering Shen Qingyi's question.
Li Ze also rested his chin on his hand and looked at her.
Did Master not like peaches before?
The Moon Bamboo Peach is considered a fairly common variety of peach in the entire cultivation world; it just so happens that the peach trees on the main peak are well-cultivated, and that he...
Fortunately, he was skilled and knew how to handle the food.
Li Ze thought to himself without any shame.
Yu Yan: "I've never tried this before, I didn't know it tasted like this."
"Hmm?" Shen Qingyi smiled faintly, and that glance sent a shiver down Yu Yan's spine.
Sure enough, the man said in a low voice,
"Who was it that told me back then that peach blossoms are beautiful, but unfortunately they won't bear fruit..."
"The peach blossoms are beautiful, but unfortunately they don't bear fruit. Senior brother, do you think there are any peach trees in the cultivation world that don't bear fruit? I want to plant them all over the mountain!"
