Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 178 It is Real if You Believe It

“Pei Yuan, are these your classmates?”

Although she asks in a soft tone, Pei Yuan still thinks that he has never been in such a place before.

If he shakes his head, the fairy will just ignore them and he can “revenge” for what they had done to him in the past two months. As long as he shakes his head slightly… Pei Yuan’s inner self is asking him to shake his head. It seems that he has hesitated for a long time but it is actually just three seconds before he says,

“Yes, they are my classmates… I’m not very familiar with some, though.”

Lin Luoran doesn’t care about the ones that Pei Yuan is “not very familiar with”, instead, she smiles at this interesting reply.

If Pei Yuan answers “No”, Lin Luoran will be happy to teach those students a lesson for him as it is not a big deal for that they have met before. However, if he really says “No”, their “tie” may break here today.

Pei Yuan didn’t say “No”, nor did he say “Yes” like a “nice guy”. The choice he made confronted with temptation makes Lin Luoran feels that he is actually very kind — does that mean that she likes kind kids better?

“Since they are your classmates. This Mr…?” Lin Luoran looks at Zhang Shuming, who was talking a lot of nonsense. She believes that real elegant people, like Liu Zheng, should be well-educated and never make others feel embarrassed.

Zhang Shuming was feeling uncomfortable all over him. Seeing that Lin Luoran is looking at him, he feels that his uncomfortableness has gone. He nods his head and says, “My name is Zhang Shuming, fairy, you can call me ‘Shuming’…”

Lin Luoran holds her laughter. This Zhang Shuming is just a student and he wants to act like an adult and plays up to her. “Shuming”? Why would I call you Shuming?

“Oh, Mr. Zhang then. You said that my tea was fake, didn’t you?”

Looking at Lin Luoran’s smile, Zhang Shuming is messed up inside his head. If the tea comes from the fairy, he can drink it up even if it is poisonous. How can he say that it is fake?

Jiang Ping is reluctant to admit the mistake, “Fake or not, it should be tested by all of us…”

Lin Luodong gets angry. He never compares unrealistically with others but he knows that Grandpa Mu is wealthy and that he will never offer them fake tea.

The cup of Kungfu tea is very small and the teapot they use is for four people. There is only one left. Seeing that his sister doesn’t stop him, Luodong picks up the final cup and gives it to Zhang Shuming. To Luodong, Zhang Shuming is a smiling tiger and Luodong really doesn’t like him.

By now, Zhang Shuming has already known that he messed up. However, he knows that possession is more important than admiration. Besides, he has spent a lot on Xia Bingyan and there is no way to give up. He blinks his eyes — his only choice is to expose the true colors of Pei Yuan and his “accomplice”.

Zhang Shuming understands the tea ceremony a little bit. He takes the cup and observes the tea inside. It has a clear golden-red color and an excellent fragrance. Just a smell and Zhang Shuming knows that it is indeed very good Dahongpao Tea.

However, it cannot be Dahongpao Tea from the seed tree. People have been forbidden to pick tea-leaves from the seed trees for several thousand years. Even if someone has Dahongpao Tea leaves from the seed tree, they will hide them rather than share them with strangers.

The more Zhang Shuming thinks, the surer he is about himself. He has made the judgment already and he does not have the mood of tasting tea. When he is tasting tea, the first sip has a slight caramel flavor. After the second and the third brew, there is a slight fragrance of orchid. At first, the tea is mellow with a little bitterness. Soon he feels the sweet taste in his mouth. Moreover, the tea is durable. Even after the fifth or the sixth brew, the tea is still mellow and smooth and has a good aftertaste.

The above are all distinctive features of top-range Dahongpao Tea. Everyone knows about tea ceremony will know the features. However, due to his unstable mind, Zhang Shuming doesn’t notice them. He tastes for a while and says in hesitation, “I’m not sure.”

It is his commonly used method to retreat in order to advance. He doesn’t say yes or no. He is “not sure” but he will not admit that this is real.

Lin Luoran can’t help laughing. Mr. Zhang is really shameless.

“Why did you ask to do something that you actually cannot do?”
