Chapter 241: Chapter 241: The Green Tea Disdained by the Ancestor

Jiangli finally let go and waved his hand with a smile, "Go, go, as fast as you can. I’m quite in a hurry here."

Cui, the judicial officer, had a helpless expression on his face. After he tidied up his appearance, he stood up to bow and then vanished from the office.

Jiangli clapped her hands and then stood up.

"Ancestor... is it done now?" Xia Xin asked as he saw her turn around.

Jiangli nodded, "Yes, it’s finished." She looked at Song Taishan, "Now we just have to wait for Qiang Hongtao to return. It won’t take more than ten minutes, rest assured."

Xia Xin had heard Jiangli tell Cui, the judicial officer, that they needed to use Netherworld Water, and he asked hesitantly, "Is ten minutes enough?"

"It’s enough," Jiangli said indifferently. "Time underground and above ground isn’t the same, it’s plenty of time. If he doesn’t return in ten minutes, then it’s time to replace the judicial officer."

Xia Xin: "..."

He refrained from asking any further.

Song Taishan was puzzled, but before he could ask,

Jiangli, as if knowing what he was about to say, added, "We just need to wait for ten minutes."

The words Song Taishan was about to speak changed, "Alright, then we’ll wait for ten minutes."

It’s just ten minutes, after all.

He glanced at the time and politely asked, "Would you like something to drink in the meantime?"

Jiangli was quite unreserved, "Sure, I’d like some Biluochun Tea."

"..."

What the heck?

For a moment, Song Taishan wondered if he had misheard.

Xia Xin hurriedly intervened, "Um, Captain Song, just plain water will be fine."

Jiangli frowned, "What’s the taste in plain water?"

Xia Xin somewhat helplessly changed his offer, "Then just a regular green tea drink will do."

"Alright then, I’ll go buy some. You can sit here for a while."

Song Taishan had merely been being polite; he thought that preparing some plain water for them was already quite good.

Who would have thought, Jiangli insisted on having green tea.

Since he made the offer and couldn’t go back on his word, Song Taishan eyed Jiangli suspiciously and went downstairs filled with questions.

Fortunately, there was a vending machine not far from the police station.

Song Taishan bought two bottles of the most common green tea on the market and brought them back for Jiangli and Xia Xin.

Xia Xin took one first, opened the cap, and then handed it to Jiangli, "Ancestor, this... is a new type of green tea. Give it a try, it should be alright."

Upon hearing this, Jiangli took a sip and immediately put on a mask of pain.

"What is this... It has no tea flavor at all. Why is the tea so sweet?"

Xia Xin: "..."

This is bad.

The ancestor was indeed a tea connoisseur.

Xia Xin had thought he could muddle through with a casual attempt.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Well, ancestor, people drink tea less and less nowadays. This is just a simplified version of green tea. Please make do with it."

Jiangli frowned, her face filled with dislike, but she said no more and continued to drink the green tea sip by sip until it was finished.

Xia Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded apologetically to Song Taishan.

Throughout the day, Song Taishan had harbored doubts about Jiangli; why did everything the Abbot said and did seem so odd?

She didn’t seem like a modern young lady.

More like an antique that had stepped out of the past.

Could he be mistaken in his feeling?

Or is it that all those who understand these deep mysteries are like antiques?

With questions lingering in his mind, Song Taishan glanced at his watch, "Abbot, there’s only one minute left of the ten minutes. Should we continue waiting?"

Jiangli handed the empty bottle to Xia Xin and felt a breeze at her ear; she smiled, "No need to worry, he’s here."

The next second when she turned her head, she saw the figure of Cui, the judicial officer, appear in the office.

With him was Qiang Hongtao.

Qiang Hongtao stood half a step behind Cui, the judicial officer, his face tight and somewhat angry, obviously because of the reason Cui had explained for summoning him.

But when he saw Jiangli, he learned from Cui’s example and bowed to her in salute.
