Chapter 2048
Tianjing Street in the ancient city.
The turquoise lake is rippling with water, surrounded by weeping willows that caress the shade, their slender branches swaying slightly with the fresh breeze.
In the pavilion beside the lake, an old man is leisurely handling the finest purple sand tea set in front of him.
Although the old man’s head is already full of white, his appearance is radiant.
Sitting quietly, he is not angry.
“This manor has not been visited by outsiders for a long time, so it lacks a bit of popularity.
Come and taste the twelve thunderbolts before the lightning.”
The words are lonely, but there is more of a sense of spontaneity in his tone.
After pouring seven portions, the old man pushed the teapot to the middle-aged man opposite.
“These days, I am the only person who can make Old Master Bai pour tea.”
With a self-satisfied smile, the man then lifted the cup of tea.
In his heart, he knew that there were only a few people in the capital who could make Master Bai personally receive them.
There were only a few within the capital.
“Oooh, not bad.
The fragrance of this tea is so refreshing, the taste is so elegant and the aftertaste is so sweet, it is indeed a rare and good tea.
Of course, the most important thing is that Old Man Bai, this is a wonderful technique.
This is a mastery of the tea ceremony that can be described as transforming corruption into magic.”
After all the flattery, Bai Lao’s face did not change much, he just said calmly.
“You know how to come back after all these years.
But your character hasn’t changed, you’re still as poor-mouthed as ever.”
“Yes, it’s been so many years, I remember the last time I had tea with you, old man.
It was more than ten years ago.”
Although he said it with a smile, there were a few more vicissitudes in his tone.
Looking at the young man in front of him, who was so vigorous and youthful.
Now that his hair was turning grey, Elder Bai’s original seriousness was a little more moved.
“It’s been twenty-three years.”
“Has it been that long? Time flies like an arrow.”
The man said no more words and looked down at the cup of tea in front of him quietly.
The god seemed to be emotional, but also seemed to be sad.
After a long time, the silence was broken with a light cough.
Seeing Old Man Bai flicking his chest, the man frowned slightly.
“Old man, has this chest congestion not been cured yet?”
It had been more than twenty years since the day he left the capital, but he had not expected that Old Man Bai’s illness had not yet been cured.
Shaking his head, Old Master Bai was also full of helplessness.
“Eh, it’s been so many years since the root of the disease, how can it be so easy to be cured.
Even those few old immortals in the capital city shook their heads straight after seeing this illness of mine.
Hmph, a bunch of quack doctors!”
At the end of his speech, the old man’s face gradually showed his displeasure.
On the opposite side, the man only laughed bitterly after hearing this.
Perhaps the only person who dared to compile those few titanic figures of Chinese medicine like that was the old master Bai in front of him.
“Why don’t you get the Old Gods to take a look at you?”
The Old Immortal, formerly known as Sai Hua Tuo, was the number one divine doctor in China.
He had the ability to revive the dead with a wonderful hand.
Therefore, people in the jianghu respected him as the Old Immortal.
This was what the middle-aged man was puzzled about, for by all rights, if it was the Old God who had done it.
If the Old Immortal had done the work, wouldn’t it have been a simple matter to cure Master Bai’s chest congestion?
Yet the mention of the Old Gods made Old Man Bai even more angry.
“That old codger has left the capital for who knows how many years.
Not to mention whether we can invite him back to the capital, now it’s impossible to find him in person.
If it weren’t for him sending me some pills back every year to calm my condition.
Hmph, stubborn and stubborn.”
Even though he had already taken the medicine, Elder Bai’s chest rubbing movements still did not stop.
Even with a soft hum, the air around him seemed to chill a few degrees.
It was obvious that this was really P*ssed off.
“You, this temper hasn’t changed at all.
Still as stubborn and impulsive as ever!”
After laughing bitterly, the man silently poured tea for Old Man Bai.
“Why talk about me, an old man.
How can you not be?”
At these words, both sides tacitly thought of something.
The scene gradually got heavier.
“As an elder, let me advise you to put it down if you can.
Those people are not something you can shake.”
At this point in his speech, Elder Bai stopped speaking.
Holding his cup of tea, he looked at the lake with a serious face.
There were some words that didn’t need to be said, those who should understand them all understood.
“There are some things that I have to do.
Every time I think of the way my child’s mother looked before she died, I would wake up in the middle of the night.
Bing’er has grown up, and as a father, I have to do something for her and her mother.”
At the end of the sentence, the man’s words were choked with emotion.
Looking at the other man’s vicissitudes and despondent look, Elder Bai frowned slightly.
“If you’re tired of living, I can’t advise you much.
You should take care of yourself.”
