Chapter 326: Peach Blossom Forest

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The celebration was filled with elites who had entered the society. The purpose of Shen Fanxing’s visit today was to find new artistes for the company. Students wouldn’t be able to integrate into the social circle tonight. Hence, it would be difficult for her to come into contact with them as well. Hence, Shen Fanxing wandered and stopped, intending to leave through the back door.

However, when she passed by the balcony in the corridor, she heard a familiar voice. She didn’t want to stop, but she suddenly heard her name.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, she stood on the spot and silently listened to the conversation. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly curled her lips and left with a cold smile.

Under the dim light, she strolled along the tree-lined path, crossed a bridge, and climbed a few more concrete-covered slopes.

This place was like a park with a radius of a hundred miles. There were winding paths, flowers, and plants everywhere.

At first, she met a few students on her way. But soon, the lights got dimmer and there was almost no one around.

The further she walked, the more she could smell the fragrance of the peach blossoms.

She couldn’t help but follow the fragrance. The peach blossom fragrance became stronger and stronger. Before long, she saw a large peach blossom forest.

There was a lamppost every few meters in the forest. When the lights shone on the peach blossom forest, it was exceedingly beautiful and brilliant.

Shen Fanxing couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. Just as she was about to walk into the peach blossom forest to enjoy the view, a deep and aged voice sounded.

“Miss, what’s the matter?”

Shen Fanxing stopped in her tracks and looked ahead. In the middle of the forest, there was a person sitting under the dim light.

She deliberated for a moment, then pushed open the gates. She glanced at that person, and seeing that he didn’t stop her, she walked in.

“Sorry to disturb you. I was following the scent of the flowers.”

When she got closer, she saw that the person sitting on the peach wood stump was a thin old man dressed in an old blue tunic. He was drinking tea alone, and on the peach wood table was a set of tea brewing tools.

Hearing her, the old man raised his head and looked at her with nonchalance.

“Your nose is quite sharp.”

Shen Fanxing smiled.

“Do you know how to make tea?”

The old man asked calmly and gestured for her to sit opposite him.

Shen Fanxing paused and replied, “I’m not very good.”

The old man chuckled. “Not bad.”

Shen Fanxing didn’t reject his gesture.

The moment she opened the teapot, the fragrance of the tea filled her nose. It was faint yet distinct.

Shen Fanxing’s heart tightened as she looked up at the old man.

“Why?”

“Is this… Borneol tea?”

Shen Fanxing was taken aback. Borneol was an extremely precious natural spice!

The old man’s eyes were scrutinizing, and he actually smiled. “Not bad! To think that I would meet a young lady like you in this day and age. Tell me, which one are you most proficient in. Concocting scents, brewing tea, tasting wine or admiring flowers?”

Shen Fanxing was surprised and tensed up again. She had a feeling that this old man was no ordinary person.

There was a hint of caution and respect in her tone. “Concocting scents.”

“Hahaha… I’m right!”

Shen Fanxing didn’t stop brewing the tea. The old man watched silently as she worked. The sequence was reversed a few times, and her movements were flawed. The process of brewing tea was extremely important. The slightest mistake could ruin a good pot of tea.

However, the fragrance of the tea that seeped out and entered his mouth didn’t lose its flavor. It even tasted different and aromatic.

The old man’s gaze deepened.

If she didn’t have an absolute sensitivity to fragrance, she definitely wouldn’t be able to do this.

Shen Fanxing, on the other hand, was anxious. She pursed her lips and asked softly after a while, “May I know how to address you?”

“Ji Hongwen, you can call me Old Master Ji.”

Crash! Shen Fanxing’s teacup crashed against the teapot. She looked up at the old man, her eyes filled with shock…
