A hazy drizzle floated across the mountains, and the sound of raindrops dripped, covering the mountains with a thin curtain.

Lin Huan and Li Shui sat facing each other at a table under an awning. Each of them held a cup filled with fragrant tea. The tea smoke floated in the air, blending with the rain curtain in the mountains, making the place seem extremely quiet and peaceful.

Lin Huan picked up the teacup and placed it between his nose, took a deep breath, and took a few sips of the tea. His eyes were shining, and he sat up straight, looking extremely well-behaved.

Li Shui took a sip of the water gently, and when he looked up at the interesting scene in front of him, he suddenly recalled the cat-like dragon that struggled to get out of the amber. When it saw him, it also had such sparkling eyes, and he couldn't help laughing.

It was just a little different from the pure satisfaction this time. At that time, the soft fur on her body was a little messy and scattered, not wet, but like a dog had gnawed on it, with a lot of loose hair hanging down. She curled up in the same place with a guilty conscience, her eyes sparkling, her little tail wagging, looking at him carefully, as quiet as a kitten, a little cute... That first time in amber was a bit of a failure.

The more Li Shui thought about it, the funnier it became. Finally, he placed the teacup on the table, turned slightly to avoid the slightly puzzled gaze of a certain little girl, and smiled softly, "Girl, you are really being honest at this moment."

Lin Huan blinked his eyes, his cheeks puffed up, and his big eyes that looked more and more like a cat's blinked twice, a little puzzled, but also a little unconvinced.

"Senior Lishui, are you talking about that incident? Well, indeed, you saw my embarrassed look..."

She stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed.

Lishui looked at her and shook his head: "Not necessarily. Although she was a little embarrassed at that time, she was indeed cute."

After a pause, he continued, "… Ping told us about what happened a few years ago… At that time, the battle line was tense and we couldn't take care of everything, so you and Xiao were left fighting alone and almost lost your lives… Fortunately, you escaped unharmed in the end. To be honest, when we think back on it afterwards, we old guys feel a little scared."

Lin Huan waved his hands quickly: "It's all in the past, Senior Lishui... I have always kept in mind the instructions given by the master before he left. No matter what, I must live and protect it. I haven't forgotten!"

"Alas... you are a pure-hearted child who always thinks of others. But next time, you shouldn't take risks like you did last time..." Li Shui stretched out his finger and tapped her head gently, "The elders will hold up the sky when it falls, but you are not allowed to treat yourself like this again."

"You're right..." Lin Huan lowered his eyes and gently stroked the rim of the cup.

For a moment, the tea table was shrouded in silence. Suddenly, there were some messy footsteps coming from a distance.

"Little sister, are you hiding from the rain here? Wow~ The rain is getting heavier and it's getting really troublesome. Hiss... who is this gentleman?"

"Brother Xingzhi?" Lin Huan put down the teacup beside him, stood up and walked over. "You must be soaked through. Why didn't you come down earlier?"

"Alas... I don't have the power of foresight..." Hu Xingzhi sighed pitifully, "Who could have expected that it would suddenly rain so heavily in the mountains?"

Lin Huan had no choice but to turn back to the table, take out a cup, pour out a cup of hot tea, and walk over to hand it to Hu Xingzhi.

"Brother Xingzhi, I don't have any clean clothes for you to change into... Drink a cup of hot water first, and go back to your residence when the rain stops. Don't waste time."

"What about you?" Hu Xingzhi was forced to sit in Lin Huan's original seat.

"I still have some things to do." Lin Huan walked to the awning and looked out. Just as he was about to ask something, he heard Master Lishui speak slowly.

"The tea leaves from Qiaoying Manor are the rarest and most precious ancient teas... it should be said to be expensive and precious..."

"Ah Huan wants to find a tea merchant to buy tea and bring it back to Hong Kong?" Hu Xingzhi understood immediately, frowned slightly and said speechlessly, "Ancient tree fairy tea? Ordinary people without some background should not touch that stuff! Not only is the price extremely high, but the production is also small. I don't know how it tastes, but based on the price, I think it's not worth it! The most important thing is that you have to compete with dignitaries and nobles, which offends people and is thankless. In the end, you may not be able to get it even if you fight hard!"

Lin Huan actually knew a little about this tea. He heard that it was planted by several immortals from Chenyu Valley before the Demon God War. Later, the tea trees planted all over the mountains in Qiaoying Village were basically improved varieties that were transplanted from this ancestral tree. The original tree was so unique and precious that its price was hyped up in the market. In addition, the production was rare and the tea yield was too low, so ordinary people rarely had the chance to taste this quality tea.

"Ah..." Li Shui sighed slightly after hearing this, "Xiao Huan, listen to me, the Emperor...ah...Mr. doesn't want you to spend too much. In other words, as long as it's something you bring back for him, he'll be very happy no matter what. It's not the case that the more expensive or precious it is, the better."

Lin Huan was stunned for a moment, then responded in a low voice.

"…However, I still hope that I can bring him back what I think is the best within my means. This is a little bit of my willfulness. I want to give him the best!"

Hearing this, Li Shui nodded slightly: "It's good that you understand it in your heart, there is no need to emphasize anything deliberately... You just understand the teacher's intention."

Lin Huan nodded silently: "Hmm..."

Lishui smiled, his eyes gentle and peaceful.

"Okay... I've been out for so long, it's time to go back. Next time Xiao Huan comes to Hulao Mountain, remember to bring some good tea. Let's go to Aozang Mountain to find Liuyun and drink together!"

“Senior…” Lin Huan smiled, “Don’t tease her all the time when you go back. If she gets angry, Ganyu and I will have to coax her back when we get back.”

Li Shui smiled, "Don't worry. However, when Ah Huan goes back this time, please take the trouble to spend more time with her. Last time, she heard Ah Ping talk about you. She was seriously injured in the war a few years ago. I didn't tell her because I was afraid that she would be upset. Now that she knows about it from Ah Ping, she is a little scared."

"Well...Okay, I understand." Lin Huan's smile froze on his face, and then he answered softly.

"After the Lantern Festival, I will go back to Jueyunjian."
