Chapter 129: Fragrant Ink of Spring

hen he reached for the large sword and continued, "Alright, no more beating around the bush. Once I'm done with you all, I'll head back home. This trip to Tohoku has been a disappointment.""You wounde...Half an hour later, Ling Hao and Lu Yue drove towards their destination.

More than an hour later, Lu Yue slammed on the brakes and stopped his car in front of a rather sizable teahouse on the outskirts of Dongcheng.

"Big Brother!" The two just got out of the car when the Judge walked over and greeted Lu Yue.

"Mm!" Ling Hao nodded and asked, "How's the situation"

According to what I've heard, the owner of this teahouse is surnamed Zhang. He's a very low-key person and rarely shows his face. The business of the teahouse is managed by a woman named Sister Hong. The judge responded.

When they take on assassination jobs, they never say they are from the Mo Ge and they don't let their clients ask too many questions. They just tell their clients to go back and wait for news!

"Well then! Let's go have a look!" Ling Hao nodded again and turned to walk towards the teahouse. Lu Yue and the two followed closely behind.

"Come in, please!"

Three people walked into the hall, and a woman in a cheongsam came over.

"Are there any private rooms" the judge asked.

"Yes, please follow me!" the woman in the cheongsam smiled and nodded, then led the three of them to a private room.

"What kind of tea would you three like" she asked with a smile after they entered the private room.

"I heard that your teahouse has a kind of tea called Mo Xiang Chun" The judge looked up at the woman.

"Huh" The woman was slightly taken aback. "Gentlemen, are you here specifically for Mo Xiangchun"

"Mmm!" The judge nodded. "I heard it tasted great, let's have a pot!"

"Sir, Mo Xiang Chun is the most expensive tea we have, the price is a little high. I wonder if the three of you could accept it!" The cheongsam woman continued after being stunned again.

"Is that so How much" The judge continued to ask.

"One pot, 100,000!" the woman replied.

"Goodness gracious, with how much business you're doing, you could open a bank." The judge replied, utterly speechless.

"You're joking, sir!" the woman smiled. "If you three find the price a bit high, we have plenty of other good teas here, all very affordable. How about..."

"We came all this way specifically for the Mo Xiang Chun, wouldn't come all this distance for anything else," interrupted the Judge.

"Go ahead, don't worry about the money. As long as the tea is good, bring more pots! Money is no object!"

"Alright then, please wait a moment!" The woman paused for a second before walking towards the door. The instant she turned around, a strange glint flashed in her eyes.

"When did you become so extravagant" Lu Yue spoke after the woman left.

"Not drinking this tea must mean you haven't met the boss, right Is there something special about this tea" Ling Hao said with a faint smile.

"Still the Big Brother is amazing!" The judge chuckled.

Under normal circumstances, Mo Ge doesn't accept orders from strangers; it relies on referrals from acquaintances. And this Mo Xiang Chun tea, only those in the know can find out about it.

"Sure, you even figured this out" Lu Yue smiled.

"Of course, otherwise what's the point We can't just surround their teahouse directly, can we" The judge grinned. "What if the master of the teahouse isn't there That would scare the snake!"

"Progress!" Lu Yue smiled again.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

After a few moments of conversation, the sound of high heels clicking on the walkway interrupted them.

Then a tall woman walked in, followed by the cheongsam woman from before, carrying a tea set.

Around thirty years old, with beautiful features and a well-proportioned figure. She exudes a unique mature charm that only a woman in her prime possesses.

"Welcome, gentlemen, to my shop!" said the young woman with a smile as she approached the three men.

“Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Xu Hong, and everyone calls me Sister Hong. I am in charge of this teahouse.”

"Hello!" The judge smiled faintly.

"May I ask your names, esteemed guests" Xu Hong smiled in return.

"This is Ling Shao!" The judge pointed at Ling Hao and introduced.

"It's Young Master Ling!" Xu Hong smiled again and walked up to Ling Hao, extending her right hand and saying, "Welcome, Young Master Ling."

As she spoke, her eyes swept over Ling Hao, a strange glint in them.

Ling Hao's aura of a king, though barely perceptible, gave her the immediate impression that he was extraordinary!

"No need to be so modest, Sister Hong!" Ling Hao smiled and shook her hand.

"Young Master Ling, because the Osmanthus Fragrant Spring you ordered is a special tea in our teahouse, it requires a certain amount of skill to brew. Otherwise, most of the tea's flavor will be lost."

"Xu Hong, while speaking, signaled the cheongsam woman to put down the tea set and continued: 'If Young Master Ling doesn't mind, this humble woman would like to make some tea for the three of you. Would that be alright'"

"Thank you, Hong Jie!" Ling Hao replied with a smile.

"Ling Shao is too polite, you're welcome!" Xu Hong finished speaking and came to sit down in front of the tea set.

"Ling Shao probably isn't from here, is he" Xu Hong said as she poured tea. "Listening to Ling Shao's accent, he seems to be from the north."

"Wow, Sister Hong has great taste!" Ling Hao smiled faintly.

"Ling Shao's praise made me feel good. I was just guessing, " Xu Hong placed the tea leaves in the tea holder and smiled gently.

Subsequently, he poured his attention into preparing tea with focused movements, like flowing water. It was clear that he understood the art of tea making.

Three, please!

After a while, Xu Hong smiled and handed the three cups of tea to Ling Hao and his two companions.

"Thank you!" Ling Hao raised his cup for a sip of tea.

After putting down the teacup, I said, "Not bad! It truly lives up to its reputation as a fine tea, worth every penny!"

"Thank you, Young Master Ling, for your recognition!" Xu Hong smiled again and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Young Master Ling came to my shop besides tasting tea, there should be something else, right"

This is the rule of this teahouse, even if someone orders Mo Xiang Chun, it doesn't necessarily mean they will accept the order.

Xu Hong's process of making tea is also her way of observing the people who come to visit.

Unless she takes the initiative, ten thousand yuan will really only be enough for a few cups of tea.

"Hee hee, there is indeed a small matter." Ling Hao smiled. "I want to find someone, I wonder if Sister Hong can help"

"Looking for someone" Xu Hong was taken aback. She rarely encountered guests who asked her to find someone.

After a slight pause, he looked at Ling Hao and continued.

"I'm sorry, I might disappoint Young Master Ling. Besides serving tea, although I have some other small businesses here, I'm not good at finding people."

"Hee hee, Sister Hong doesn't have to refuse me so quickly. I'm looking for someone, and you guys definitely know." Ling Hao smiled again.

"Oh" Xu Hong was surprised again. "I don't know who Young Master Ling is looking for"

"This matter, Sister Hong might find it difficult to make a decision. If it's convenient, could you meet with your boss Zhou" Ling Hao didn't respond to her.

"Huh"

Xu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the woman in the cheongsam beside her was also taken aback.

The owner of the teahouse is not well-known; most people believe that the owner is Xu Hong.

But few people know the boss's last name is Zhou!

It's obvious that the other party is prepared!o be so decisive and quick."This needs to be done quickly, get started right away. I don't want the progress to be delayed because of funding!" Ling Hao interrupted her again."Well... then, okay!" Xue...
