    30 minutester at a teahouse in the city.


    The moment Huo Yao got to the private room, she could smell the light scent of sandalwood incense. It reminded her of the scent that she had inhaled at the Imperial Medicine Store yesterday.


    “Come in,” said Min Yu. He was elegantly pouring tea out of a teapot kept on a table in front of him. Fumes were slowly drifting from an incense burner nearby and curling up into the air.


    Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. She nodded politely to Zhuo Yun beside him and walked over. Pulling out a redwood chair, she sat down.


    Zhuo Yun nced at Huo Yao cautiously. For reasons unknown, each time he met this youngdy, she gave off a mature vibe beyond her tender age. He just could not see through her.


    Min Yu ced a warm teacup before Huo Yao. His fair, slender fingers held up the teapot and slowly filled her cup with dark green tea. “Mingqian Longjing. Try it.”


    Huo Yao picked up the cup and the light fragrant scent wafted into her nose. She took a small sip and instantly raised her brows tomend him. “The tea tastes full-bodied, and its sweetness lingers in the mouth for a long time. Not bad.”


    Min Yu put down the teapot. Warmth exuded from his face. He looked uninhibited and said, “I heard you joined an international contest.”


    Huo Yao paused for a moment before she leaned backzily into the backrest. She raised her eyes to look at Min Yu and asked him instead. “Did Granny chat with you?”


    Min Yu smiled gently and replied in a cheeky manner. “After all, I’m your tuition teacher, so I must help.”


    Huo Yao touched her chin and said, “Oh! No need for your contribution. Just help me keep Granny happy.”


    Zhuo Yun seemed to be suddenly choked by something the moment she finished speaking. He hastily cleared his throat, “COUGH COUGH...”


    Huo Yao raised her head to look at him oddly.


    Min Yu nced at Zhuo Yun too. But then he shifted his gaze back at her and said indifferently, “That goes without saying.”


    Zhuo Yun had just calmed himself after hearing Huo Yao’s request, but his master’s response left himpletely petrified.


    He happily agreed to all her bold requests... Was he missing something today, or did he have an auditory hallucination? Was this master before him a fake?


    “Do you need me to get you professional tuition teachers?” asked Min Yu as he refilled Huo Yao’s cup.


    Huo Yao tapped her fingertips on the table gently and replied. “No, thanks.”


    Min Yu did not continue with this subject. He picked up his teacup and drained its contents.


    In an instant, the private room became quiet, but it was not an awkward silence.


    Before long, Huo Yao checked her watch for the time and picked up the bag beside her. She handed it to Min Yu and said, “This incense would be useful to you.”


    Huo Yao picked up the teacup to finish her tea and stood up. “The tea’s pretty good. Thanks for hosting me. I’m off.”


    “I’ll give you a ride.”


    “No need for the trouble. I can get a cab,” said Huo Yao and rejected Min Yu’s offer. Then she turned to leave without speaking any further.


    Min Yu watched Huo Yao proceeding to leave the room and said, “Wait a minute.”


    Huo Yao looked at him questioningly. “Hmm?”


    Min Yu smiled and picked up a tea box beside him before he walked over and said, “Take the tea. I can get you more after you’re through with it.”


    Zhuo Yun stared hard at them. Huo Yao gave Min Yu an ordinary box of incense, but his master gave her a box of limited edition tea... Oh no. Oh no. He felt as though something must be wrong with his eyes again.
