Chapter Sixteen: The Mist Woman's Pipa

le and honest nature had left a deep impression on Jiang Wang.This work is simply not done well; the address used is awkward and out of place.Jiang Wang recalled that Tang Dun had been tutored by a tr...The wind and moon entertainment venues in Linzi were renowned for their four major halls.

The world-renowned Sanfenxiang (Three Scents) Building also has a branch in Linzi.

But even these four famous brothels didn't make the cut, so they can only be considered second-rate pleasure quarters.

Xu Xiangqian arranged to meet Li Longchuan at Hongxiu Pavilion, one of the Four Famous Inns, for Jiang Wangyue.

Here, transactions are settled using Dao Yuanshi!

That is to say, those who can enter these places with ease are mostly extraordinary cultivators.

Following Xu Xiangqian's well-trodden path, Jiang Wang recorded the expenses with a pained heart - after all, she would have to settle accounts with Chong Xuan Sheng.

Now that he's in charge of a town, he has many expenses and can't afford to take losses.

The two of them sat down in the private room, and graceful maidservants came up to offer tea.

This is the finest tea.

The tea mist swirled and rose in the air, outlining a woman who held a pipa.

This tea is named "Mist Woman's Pipa".

Before even taking a sip, the aroma of tea fills my mouth and nose, its fragrance lingering pleasantly.

Xu Xiangqian took a name tag and handed it to a maid: "Go to the residence of Marquis Cuyuan and invite Master Li Longchuan. Tell him that I am waiting for him."

Then the maidservant performed her curtsy and departed.

Xu Xiangqian then instructed the remaining maidservant, "Go and invite a skilled performer. Have them drink this tea and listen to a piece of pipa music."

Jiang Wang tsked in amazement.

This high-ranking scholar, he was well-known on the streets and alleys, skilled in all sorts of refined pursuits.

"Yi bends with a smile and says, 'You are quite the one to enjoy life's pleasures, Xu brother!'"

Xu Xiangqian only let out a sly laugh, instantly shattering the atmosphere: "I heard that Li Jia Lao Taijun is in Linzi these days. With someone red sleeves drawing people at this time knocking on their door, they must be having a hard time."

Jiang Wang was stunned.

I thought he had Red Sleeve invite Li Longchuan to keep it secret, but I didn't expect it to be such a bad taste.

It's truly in Xu Xiangqian's style!

Soon, a single note from a pipa sounded.

Xu Xiangqian stood up and gestured with the cup of Wu Nü Pipa to Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang didn't understand these things, so he did as instructed.

With just a tea lid, the woman who played the pipa like a veil of mist vanished into the tea.

A light sip, the tea flavor lingered on the teeth, circling for several times before disappearing. It was extraordinary, yet I couldn't quite grasp its essence. A feeling of urgency arose within me to explore further, but my senses seemed to be fixated only between my lips and teeth. Suddenly, the tea flavor rolled down my throat!

Clank!

One couldn't tell if it was a pipa sound resonating in the throat, or the sound of the pipa reaching the ears.

Or, one might strike a chord, but the sound would harmonize both inside and out.

It's visually pleasing and pleasant to the ear, bringing joy to both mind and spirit.

Jiang Wang had never felt such a profound connection with tea in his entire life!

I wanted to exclaim, "What a fine tea!" but I thought it would be too forward at this moment, breaking the flow of the music.

Just want to relax and enjoy the moment.

The sound of tea and the sound of the pipa, falling like jade beads, gradually coming one after another. When the sound is melodious, the fragrance is also melodious.

Unconsciously, a piece of pipa music has come to an end, and a cup of mist woman's pipa has also been drained.

Xu Xiangqian only then sighed and said, “Among the Eight Sounds, Tea, Red Sleeves, and Invitations, there are three that I particularly favor. The Mist Woman’s Pipa is my most beloved!”

"What a wonderful tea!"

Jiang Wang could only sigh in admiration, feeling words failed him.

The two of them chatted idly about everything and nothing for a while. Xu Xiangqian had traveled all over the world, and Jiang Wang had also walked thousands of miles. Their conversation was far from lacking in topics.

Of course, the conversation inevitably turned to the Heavenly Protected Nation, to the enormous tortoise beast, to Yin Guan, who possessed extraordinary talent, and to Hell's Unbarred Gate, which has now risen to prominence...

Only then can one sigh in response.

If this person were born in a flourishing state like Jing, Qin, or Qi, they would undoubtedly be brilliant and successful, not facing such hardship.

A master genius who walks on the edge of a knife always evokes admiration.

As they were talking, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Where is Lao Gao It's rare to see you spend money. I rushed here as soon as possible!"

The voice, imbued with both elegance and ferocity, could only belong to Li Longchuan.

Here is the translation:

>It's just that Jiang Wang couldn't figure out why he called Xu Xiangqian "Lao Gao".

With the sound, the jade belt adorned forehead and the valiant Li Longchuan strode into the room with a hearty laugh.

Then only Xu Xiangqian, with a darkened face, said: “Don't make such a fuss. After you take off this jade headband, your forehead wouldn't be much lower than mine!”

So it's this "Lao Gao"!

Jiang Wang was almost about to laugh aloud, but he forced himself to hold back. He greeted Li Longchuan and said, "Li brother, it's been a long time!"

"Seeing that Jiang Wang was still here, Li Longchuan also laughed and said: 'The reputation of the men from Qingyang Town, I have often heard about it even in Linzi!'"

At the beginning, within the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, due to Xu Xiangqian's connection, they got along quite well. Although Li Longchuan came from a distinguished family and possessed considerable strength, he didn't have any airs of arrogance.

At that time, Jiang Wang was a powerful Tier 1 Transcendent Realm expert who went to seize the Divine Ability Seeds. Now he is even more so, designated as a Divine Ability user. He has proven his strength many times on the Yang Kingdom battlefield and also has the merit of capturing the flag. Li Longchuan would certainly not underestimate him.

Just the title of an eighteen-year-old hereditary baron was enough to get him into the aristocratic circle of Qi.

Zhong Xuan Sheng chose to have Jiang Wang represent him in delivering the gift because Jiang Wang now carries considerable weight.

Jiang Wang's appearance made this gift-giving ceremony even more grand.

"Do not shame me. All soldiers are risking their lives, Jiang is merely coveting the glory of heaven!"

Here, the two were still chatting. Xu Xiangqian beckoned and said, "Come come come, please take a seat!"

Zhong Xuan Zun formally attacked Zhong Xuan Sheng, and this matter has been widely spread among the aristocratic circles in Linzi.

As the son of a top-tier aristocratic family, Li Longchuan would naturally know. In fact, as soon as he saw Jiang Wang, he knew that Chong Xuan Sheng had returned.

He wasn't eager to get involved. Neither Chongxu Sheng nor Jiang Wang, nor Chongxuan Zun and Wang Yiwu on the other side, were people you wanted to mess with.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But Xu Xiangqian took the initiative to greet him, and he couldn't just turn around and leave.

At that moment, with a smile, he sat firmly in the seat of honor and jokingly said, "I said, Old Gao, why are you so generous today It turns out you've taken advantage of Brother Jiang!"

He merely smiled and sized him up, without uttering a sarcastic retort.

Li Longchuan asked suspiciously, "What do you think I'm doing"

"Look at you, haven't been beaten by the old lady yet!"

Li Longchuan's face darkened immediately: "You, Xu! I thought you were unintentional, but it turns out you had ill intentions all along!"

When I left home, I was indeed scolded by the old woman in my house. I explained that a senior disciple of Qingya Academy had asked for my help, so I had to leave.

Thinking about this, my teeth really itch.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

Xu Xiangqian then burst into loud laughter.

They teased and mocked each other, with no holds barred, which clearly showed their close relationship.

"Actually, I've broadened my horizons by following the two of you. This Linzi mansion, with its eight musical instruments and fine tea, is truly a first for me!"

He doesn't disguise the fact that he hasn't experienced much wealth and luxury.

Li Longchuan also smiled: "Since I've arrived in Linzi, I must try all eight kinds of tea! Today, I'm bothering you, Brother Jiang. Tomorrow, I'll treat you to a feast at Haitang Chunli!"

The Hai Tang (Paulownia) is also one of the Four Great Gardens.

Qi people love to eat tea leaves and drink tea. They truly adore tea.

As a top-grade tea, Eight Tones Tea also shares fame with the four renowned tea houses to some extent.

However, Li Longchuan's words also meant "give and take, never owing anything." It's fine to interact, but if you want him to help with something big, the friendship isn't quite there yet.

Like Li Longchuan, a scion of a prominent family, he received a comprehensive education from a young age.

That kind of instant connection where you'd do anything for each other, like offering your own life to protect them, does exist, but it's very rare. Because there are so many things they have to consider: the honor their family brings them, and what they themselves can bring to their family.

On the contrary, in the midst of commoners, one often encounters heroes who act according to their impulses.

There is no higher or lower, just different ways of considering problems.
