Yi Yun was slightly taken aback when he heard the elder's voice. Although he had been nervous, he did not show it on his face. He never expected the elder to guess that he had hid in the tea shop because he had encountered an enemy. This was probably the reason why he did not come forward to welcome him right away.
Yi Yun did not reply to his question and instead said, "Old Sir, I am indeed thirsty. Please bring me some tea and food.
"Sir, it's just ordinary, bland tea and food. I hope you will not despise it."
With that said, the elder went to prepare a pot of tea and some dried fruits.
The tea was ordinary spirit tea but it took on a different fragrance when brewed by the elder. Yi Yun swirled the tea leaves within his bowl and drank a mouthful. He nodded and said, "Good tea."
The elder shook his head and said, "Sir, don't embarrass me. To someone of your status, how can this tea be enjoyable?"
