Chapter 146: 146: Having Tea with Tian Family (1)

The New Year had successfully begun, and a lot of things that needed to be fulfilled were resumed after the winter vacation. Those who needed to go back to school had returned to school. Those who needed to work had resumed their duties in their workplaces. Well, there is a salted fish who didn't have anything much to do and is laying down on her family's mansion's couch. A red panda was lying on the long sofa face down and didn't even move at all, even when her grandparents had arrived in the living room.

Seeing his granddaughter laying on the sofa without any demeanor similar to what he remembers, Grandpa Xia asks his wife.

"Lun'er, what happened to this child? Her siblings had left for school and work while she was still asleep."

"Haha~ don't worry. Xue'er doesn't need to leave the house to work. Her assistants would come over to see her for work," Grandma Hialun said.

Tan Bingyu suddenly arrived carrying a folder and a pen in her hands. She stood at a distance and called for her mistress, who was napping in the living room. She can still remember the bad waking habits of her mistress.

"Mistress, this is Tan Bingyu. There are some things you need to give your sign with."

Um~

Yue Xuexia, who was gripping around looking for something to grab and throw, failed to touch anything. She wanted to pull the pillow she is using only to fall face first on the surface of the couch. She felt her nose seem to be broken, but not in reality. The pain woke her up. When she tried to touch her nose, he couldn't help but gasp in pain.

Hiss~

"Ugh~ my nose!" said Yue Xuexia.

Grandpa Xia commented, "Don't worry, your nose is still there. It might get flattened though. Haha~"

Yue Xuexia turned around and glared at her grandfather, who hiccupped when he met her cold gaze. His wife shook her head with a helpless smile and helped the old man pat his back until he stopped hiccupping.

Yue Xuexia took over the folder handed to her by Tan Bingyu. She only needed to look through the papers and instantly sign it after knowing that there wasn't a problem with it at all. The rest of the family ate breakfast together in the dining room and returned to the living hall to drink some tea to help digest their meals. All of a sudden, Grandpa Xia received news from the former state leader. They decided to meet each other somewhere private, as the topic seems to have something to do with the cultivation realm.

Grandpa Xia looked at his wife and said, "Lun'er, I need to see some old acquaintance. It's those old men from the New Year's Banquet."

"Oh? Where are you gathering?" asked Grandma Hialun.

Grandpa Xia answered, "At the State Mansion, do you wish to come with me? You can tour the mansion where the State Leader lives."

"Can I go?" asked Grandma Hialun.

With a doting smile, Grandpa Xia responded, "Of course you can!"

"Mom! Dad! We want to go! State Mansion!" said Mama Yue.

Mama Yue and Papa Yue seem to be interested in the state mansion as well. That is the place where the leader of the country lives. They haven't seen it themselves and only saw it on television.

Grandpa Xia looked at his granddaughter and asked, "How about you, Xue'er?"

"No. I want to sleep," said Yue Xuexia while yawning.

Xia Lianyu shook his head at his granddaughter's salted fish personality. If he had fought with her that night, he would have thought that his granddaughter is a lazy bum. Sadly, this is just her personality, and she can even become a tigress once angered.

After a while, Grandpa Xia, Grandma Hialun, Papa Yue, and Mama Yue had left the mansion and headed to the state mansion or palace to meet the old man's friends. Yue Xuexia, who was left alone in the mansion, returned to her room to continue her nap. But for some reason she couldn't go back to sleep at all. Sitting on her bed, Yue Xuexia looked at Taiyang and Tan Bingyu, who were guarding her in her room.

Yue Xuexia looked at them. "I can't sleep anymore. What to do?" she asked.

Taiyang said, "You've been napping for a while now. It's not a surprise you can't go back to sleep. Don't you have something you wanted to do?"

"Nothing comes to mind," replied Yue Xuexia while trying hard to think of what she wanted to do, but still nothing entered her mind.

Taiyang, who recalled her promise to see that old man who owned the back, said, "How about going to see that old man? The one from the Autumn Field bank. Didn't you owe him some tea party or something?"

"That's a good idea, but is it alright to bother him?" asked Yue Xuexia.

Meanwhile at the side, Tan Bingyu had already called the Tian Family and informed them about her mistress's visit. Though this visit was abrupt, Lao Tian didn't mind it at all. To him, Yue Xuexia is like his granddaughter. There is nothing that makes an elder happier than when a young friend or descendant came to visit them.

Tan Bingyu said, "Mistress, the Tian Clan's old master agreed and said that he will be waiting for your arrival. Should I pull a car over?"

"Yes! Thanks, Sister Bingyu. That's right. Let's go visit Grandpa Qiuji as promised. Ah! I need to prepare a gift!" said Yue Xuexia as she ran towards her underground laboratory to take a few longevity pills and harvest some spiritual tea as a gift. After the preparation was made, the three of them left the mansion and headed to the Tian Clan.

Meanwhile, at the Tian Clan's mansion...

Elder Tian Qiuji was actually having a conversation with his son, General Tian Qiusi, when the call was answered. The general was surprised that his stern father would suddenly cut off their conversation just because someone called. Usually, he would be quite annoyed when someone called at such a wrong time. This time his father answered the call and ended up smiling even after the call had ended.

The old man said, "Let's continue the talk later. I have an important guest to welcome in the house. You can do as you will."

"Father, who is your guest that you don't even want this son of yours?" said Tian Qiusi.

The old man turned his head and gave him a grumpy look. He even retorted.

"How could you compare yourself to my goddaughter? Anyway, I'm busy. I wonder if that brat, Qiuya, brought home some sweets and pastries from his store. I should just call him to send some more."

Seeing how excited the old man looked when he mentioned his famed goddaughter, Tian Qiusi couldn't help but recall that young lady at the auction hall. She was fearless against prodigal young masters; even a cultivator couldn't scare her at all. There is even that young man who gave him a dangerous feeling no matter what angle he looks at him.

General Tian Qiusi mumbled, "God-granddaughter, was it? Now, I am interested to meet such a mysterious young lady."

In the end, he followed his father to prepare some things to welcome some guests. Even Tian Qiuya, who heard about the visitor being his sister, Yue Xuexia, immediately went home to see her with his grandfather. In the end, it becomes the old man, the general, and the young heir of Tian Qiuji, welcoming Yue Xuexia, Tan Bingyu, and Taiyang's arrival at the Tian Clan's mansion.

The preparation of the tea party was done beautifully, with the three masters of the house giving commands from all directions. When Yue Xuexia, Taiyang, and Tan Bingyu arrived at the Tian Clan's mansion, they were welcomed with an ancient mansion that had separate quarters for each family. Tian Qiuji lives in the main mansion, while the other descendants live in other places within the mansion.

A group of servants welcomes the arrival of the three guests and leads them to the south garden, where a bamboo pavilion was built. The pavilion was enclosed in tall bamboos swinging with the wind. This area seems to be hidden from the outside world, as if it's a small hideout hidden from the others eyes. As soon as Yue Xuexia saw this pavilion, she seemed to like the scenery. There are also unnecessary strangers to join them, like the servants of the Tian Clan.

In there, Grandpa Qiuji was waiting with one familiar face, which is Tian Qiuya, and one unfamiliar face that looks like a stern uncle. Grandpa Qiuji was all smiles when they saw their arrival. As for Tian Qiuya, he had gone to them and welcomed their arrival with a smile.

Yue Xuexia looks around with a smile. "This place is quite beautiful. It reminds me of the one we saw in Japan."

"Xiao Xue, you are finally here. Sir Taiyang and Miss Tan as well. Please follow me to the pavilion," said Tian Qiuya, who had approached them as they arrived in the area.

Tan Bingyu and Taiyang sat at each side of Yue Xuexia, while Tian Qiuya sat beside his father. Grandpa Tian welcomed the three of them with an amiable smile.

Grandpa Tian said, "Xiao Xue had kept her promise to see this old man. This Grandpa is happy."

"Grandpa Tian jest. You asked me to visit you anytime, and I am also happy to see you. Please accept these gifts, Grandpa Tian. Please share some with this uncle and Brother Qiuya," said Yue Xuexia.

Tian Qiuya looked at the jade bottle and the familiar-looking tin can that his grandfather had received. The can will definitely be filled with that delicious tea that made him healthy and strong. He was more interested in the small jade bottle.

"Xiao Xue, what's in the jade bottle?" asked Tian Qiuya curiously.

Yue Xuexia answered, "Three longevity pills."

"Longevity Pills!?" The one who had exclaimed the loudest was unexpectedly the stern-looking uncle beside the old man and Tian Qiuya.

Tian Qiuya covers his ears and complains, "Dad, there is no need to shout so loud. Urgh~ I feel my ears ringing."

Taiyang had covered Yue Xuexia's ears on time, and she didn't suffer much. The old man looked like he had suffered a hit on the head as he was pressing on his temples.

"Qiusi, why the hell did you suddenly shout like that? Have you forgotten about the guests?" reprimands Grandpa Tian.

General Qiusi looked guilty and said, "Forgive me. I was just surprised. I mean, that's the legendary longevity pill. It says it can extend lifespan. The last pill was said to be auctioned in the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall recently. I was there, and the bidding price even reached a billion for one."

"Old man, who is this one?" asks Taiyang. He asked knowing that this uncle is mostly connected to these two by blood. The only difference between the three is that he possessed a thicker scent of blood on him. This is a person who had obviously been killed before, and it wasn't just a single person.

Grandpa Tian said, "This man is this old man's son. I named him Qiusi. He is also a general, and you've met him the first time you went to the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall before."

"I remember. You are the one who bought that protective amulet before we could," said Taiyang as he looked at the uncle with a dissatisfied look.

Yue Xuexia said, "Yangyang, no fighting."
