Lin Wan’er looked at Charlie and smiled, saying, “Regardless of whether the master is still alive or not, considering his cultivation from over three hundred years ago, he should be regarded as the strongest among all the cultivators known to him, right?”
Charlie nodded in agreement. “From what I know, Meng Changsheng, also known as Willie the 1st, ranks first, while Saraes in second.”
“Exactly,” Lin Wan’er, affectionately holding onto Charlie’s arm, yfully tugged it down like a charming young woman. With a shy smile, she added, “In his eyes, he sees the two of them as Mount Everest and K2. Today’s Qingzhao nunnery is just the starting point for our first attempt to climb. Next time, let’s treat this ce as our base camp, and move forward step by step until we reach our goal.”
Charlie sighed softly, nodding as he replied, “That’s all we can do for now.”
Seeing Charlie finally at ease brought relief to Lin Wan’er. In that moment, she resembled a newlywed from ancient times, her world revolving around her “husband,” who was everything to her. If he was happy, even the simplest meals would taste delightful, but if he was troubled, even the finest delicacies would feel like chewing cardboard.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Her greatest concern was that Charlie might not know when to retreat. However, she felt reassured that although he had his reservations, he was at least starting to heed the teacher’s guidance.
Although she sensed he was still somewhat downcast, she decided to uplift his spirits.
So, she held onto Charlie’s arm and gently led him back along the path they hade.
As they walked, with Charlie looking down, Lin Wan’er brainstormed ways to lighten his mood. She eagerly asked, “Young master, do you think the mother of Pu’er tea has grown or sprouted any new leaves over the past couple of days?”
Charlie replied casually, “It should have grownrger. As for the leaves, I don’t think it would be hard to pull out more buds.”
Lin Wan’er beamed and said, “Then once we return, I’ll pick the young shoots and prepare them for you, young master.”
Curiously, Charlie asked, “Isn’t the process of making Pu’er tea quiteplicated? It needs to be stored and fermented afterward, right?”
Lin Wan’er smiled and exined, “Actually, you can drink it right after it’s processed. It just won’t have the fermented vor, but it will taste fresh and delicate. Generally, freshly picked tea leaves are processed immediately for the best vor. However, since the requirements for freshness and timing are quite strict, most people never get the chance to taste it.”
Charlie chuckled and asked, “Don’t you value the leaves from the mother of Pu’er tea? Why are you being so generous now?”<fn3a36> Content originallyes from Find[?]ovel</fn3a36>
