Chapter 3956 Dissipating
"No, I was just thinking that this tea is very special. It's very light and also has the fragrance of bamboo leaves." The old man said. He looked at the maid and asked: "What kind of tea is this?"
"This is Jade Bamboo Spirit Tea. It is brewed from new tea collected before the rain steeped with bamboo leaves so that it has the fragrance of bamboo leaves." Feng Jiu whispered with a hint of timidness in her voice. In actual fact, she was smiling inside. After she had knocked the maid unconscious and dragged her into a corner, she picked up two bamboo leaves and put them into the tea to cover up the odourless and colourless medicine. She hadn't expected the old man to say the tea tasted special. She supposed she had added special ingredients to the tea and brought it to them personally. Of course it would taste good. "Go and bring me some tea bags to take away with me." The old man said, and motioned for her to retreat. "Yes." Feng Jiu responded and bent her knees slightly before she stepped back. When she turned around and walked out, her lips curled up slightly and she thought to herself: I'm afraid that after drinking it this time, you won't want to drink it a second time. She walked to the back courtyard and arrived at a deserted place, then she threw the tea tray away and lifted the maid's robe off, revealing her red dress underneath. She turned around and glanced towards the front and smiled. In the next moment, she lifted up on her toes and rose into the air. About the time of an incense stick after she left, the Chief Steward hurried into the front hall with a pale face: "Elders, I heard from the guards that a maid served you tea earlier. Did you drink it?"
His anxious voice was filled with worry and his eyes looked at the two people in the front hall as well as the empty teacups in their hands. When he saw the empty teacups, he looked at the two old men and his heart sank. When the two old men heard his words, they couldn't help but look at each other. One of them said: "There was a maid who came to serve us tea earlier. What's wrong?"
The Chief Steward opened his mouth to speak but didn't say anything for a while.
"Is there something wrong with the maid? Speak!" The other old man shouted in a deep voice, frowning. "One of the guards discovered an unconscious maid who had been stripped of her robe lying in a corner of the rockery…" As the Chief Steward spoke, the expressions of the two people changed suddenly. "This tea…" One of the old men looked at the old man who had medical knowledge questioningly. However, it was as if something was choking his throat and he was only able to utter two words and unable to speak the rest. When the maid came in earlier, she had only served them two cups of tea. If there was a problem, it would be in the tea!
"The tea we drank earlier didn't have any medicinal scent. The only scent it had was the fragrance of bamboo leaves." The old man with medical knowledge said, but as he spoke, his face turned paler. It was precisely because of that, that he realised that something was wrong. Almost at once, he reached out and examined his own pulse. As soon as he touched his pulse, he slumped down in the chair, as if all his strength had been drained away. "What's wrong?" The other old man asked urgently and stood up suddenly. However, when he stood up suddenly, he felt his eyesight flashing and his limbs became weak, then he slumped back down. At that moment, the old man's body who hadn't felt any symptoms at first, now felt the change in his body. Wisps of smoke came out of the top of his head as his cultivation started dissipating slowly…
