Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 1029 - 525: Serving Tea

"Oh~ Almsgiver~"

After traveling around for three months to gather support for the Nangong Family and visiting military camps in border towns, Li Hu was summoned urgently by the mistress to return home. Just as he was contemplating taking a nap, he looked up and saw a chubby fellow standing on the street, smiling and waving at him.

Dressed in a Black Robe Kasaya, wearing a string of prayer beads around his neck, and holding a seven-foot bamboo stick; this outfit was oddly familiar, as was the prosperous appearance, but combined together they seemed unusual, and for a moment, Li Hu couldn’t recognize who it was...

But before he could speak, his equally exhausted personal soldier impatiently raised his whip and lashed out.

"You begging fool! Want to die blocking the way here! Get out of my sight!"

"Oh, okay."

The chubby monk wasn’t angry, and still smiling, nodded and walked away, surprisingly avoiding the falling whip tip perfectly.

Seeing his indifferent reaction, Li Hu suddenly realized, was taken aback with horror! He quickly tumbled down from his horse, rolled and crawled, and kowtowed three times in front of him, breaking the bricks into pieces.

"Benefactor! I didn’t expect that you formed the Elixir! I couldn’t recognize you! I must be blind! Please take the high seat in my manor, why are you waiting here?"

"Namo Great Aspiration King Bodhisattva."

Chen Xuantian smiled at him,

"Why do you say that, General? When did I ever sit in your manor, how come I don’t remember?"

Li Hu was stunned, instantly sweating profusely, apologizing repeatedly,

"Benefactor, forgive me! I never intended to deceive or hide anything from you! I left in a hurry, I did send subordinates to invite you as a guest to the manor! Never thought these dog fools didn’t invite you nor tell me! They should really be punished!

I’ve been so busy with the saddle front and back, totally distracted, I even forgot to inquire about it! I’m sorry you had to wait for so many days! It’s all my fault! Everyone, set up a grand feast! We must welcome and honor the Benefactor!"

Chen Xuantian smiled warmly,

"I see, I see. Since military affairs are keeping the General busy, I won’t blame you.

Given this situation, I shall not disturb or trouble you further, only requesting you to introduce me to the Nangong Family Head. Let’s settle the karma early."

"Ah yes, yes, as it should be, please follow me, Benefactor!"

Li Hu, with a smiling face, couldn’t care about going home, hastily leading the way, secretly signaling a constable to report to the Nangong Family.

This time, Chen Xuantian had ascended to a higher realm, swapped birdshot for artillery, replacing his fur clothing with a monk’s outfit, finally looking like a cultivator, and paired with Tiger General’s personal introduction, naturally, the Nangong Family wouldn’t leave him at the doorstep.

They left him in the guest hall...

"Uh, Benefactor forgive us, it’s, it’s truly, really..."

This time Li Hu was sweating buckets too, never expected after specifically sending someone to transmit, not to mention welcoming at the gate, it turns out to be a tea queue treatment!

No way, this is too disgraceful! Could it be a personal soldier is setting me up?

Chen Xuantian remained smiling, not bothered at all, chatting with Li Hu,

"The Nangong Family Head seems quite busy, many are eagerly visiting."

Li Hu explained with a smile,

"It’s because the Hunting Team is returning soon. After months away, they’ve acquired a large batch of strange treasures; I imagine the Northern Gate Valve Chamber of Commerce is rushing to trade.

You need not worry, Benefactor, I’ve reported the Young Master’s rescue to the master, there will certainly be a reward for you."

Chen Xuantian remained amicable,

"Indeed, indeed. I’ve just formed the Elixir; I could stabilize my foundation with a piece of the Nascent Soul Treasure, and later, I request the General to speak favorably."

Li Hu also smiled along,

"Naturally. You saved the Young Master’s life, not just one or two, even five or ten would be deserved..."

"Li Hu."

Suddenly, a female soldier in armor stepped out,

"The mistress summons you."

Li Hu was delighted,

"Benefactor, we shall..."

"Wait!"

The female soldier raised her whip, pointing at Chen Xuantian,

"She didn’t summon him."

Li Hu held his breath, his face flushed and veins bulging, grinding his teeth with clenched fists, he bowed with clasped hands,

"Dare to ask..."

The female soldier frowned and interrupted him,

"Going or not, the mistress awaits you."

Li Hu’s eyes widened, for a moment truly looking like a tiger in the grass.

Chen Xuantian remained unaffected, smilingly resolved,

"There might be an urgent military matter, General better hurry up. Kindly serve some hot tea."

The female soldier snorted coldly, obviously looking down on such submissive nice guys, she turned and left,

"I’m not your family’s maid, isn’t the tea right beside you, pour it yourself."

Li Hu took a deep breath, embraced his clenched fist, and bowed deeply to Chen Xuantian,

"Apologies."

"No harm done."

Chen Xuantian waved smilingly, letting Li Hu follow the female soldier away swiftly, he took the teapot and poured two cups, with a casual touch, the cold tea in the pot boiled with power, emitting wisps of steam. He poured but didn’t drink, just sat cross-legged with the Bodhi Seed and closed his eyes in meditation.

After a while, suddenly came a scholarly fellow with peach blossom eyes entered through the door, holding a fan, he sat beside Chen Xuantian silently, staring at him with a half-smile.

Chen Xuantian remained unmoved, only wise and serene, meditating.

The scholar seeing no response, picked up the hot tea, drank a sip, moistened his throat, closed the fan, cupped his hands with a bow,

"May I inquire where does the Three Mountains Bloodline hail from, how is the esteemed teacher addressed?"

Chen Xuantian neither opened his eyes nor responded, just continued meditating.

The scholar chuckled, raised his hands, stood up, paced around, shaking his head in amusement,

"Little monk, your natural talent is indeed passable, the Xuanming Inner Pill is solidly formed, surely honed for fifty years at least, also quite industrious.
