Chapter 41
Jiang Nian touched her nose and felt a little embarrassed. Drinking tea didn't seem to suit her very well.

After all, she has never been a lady, so drinking milk tea is fine. She really doesn't know how to drink tea, and the old man doesn't like drinking tea either.

"I don't know how to drink tea. No matter whether the tea is good or bad, I can't drink it. You can laugh if you want." Jiang Nian told the truth.

Jin Xiuzhu had no intention of making fun of Jiang Nian, he shook his head slightly.

"It's not funny. Everyone has different preferences. I don't know how to taste tea. I just come here because my grandpa likes it. Don't be disappointed."

If Ye Feng were here, he would definitely be shocked by Jin Xiuzhu's explanation and feel that he has failed.

Jin Xiuzhu is not a bad person, but he has never been a good person and does not care about other people's feelings.

Hearing what Jin Xiuzhu said, Jiang Nian smiled.

"Yes, I think tea is not as delicious as milk tea. I like drinking milk tea." Jiang Nian said with a smile.

"I mean, you two, standing at my door and saying that my tea doesn't taste good and that milk tea tastes better, isn't it a bit too much?" A slightly older voice sounded, "And Xiuzhu, I said you kid is here. Why don't you come in and prepare my tea by the door?"

While he was talking, an old man with gray hair and a childish face walked out.

Jiang Nian looked at the old man and found that he was surrounded by spiritual energy and his aura was restrained, but he did not deliberately hide his aura. He was obviously a practitioner.

Unexpectedly, she met a fellow disciple here, but the other person's cultivation level was not too high.

Another strange thing is that the other person's aura seems to be somewhat similar to hers, as if he has also practiced Jiuzhai's technique.

However, Jiang Nian thought it was a coincidence. People said that Jiuzhai's skills were not allowed to be spread to outsiders, so outsiders would not know about it.

It seems that this is just an ordinary senior.

After thinking about this, Jiang Nian made a gesture with both hands to greet the old man.

"Jiang Nian has met senior."

Jin Xiuzhu was stunned, as if he didn't expect Jiang Nian to react like this, and couldn't help but focus on the old man.

The old man quickly stepped forward to stop Jiang Nian's gesture, "You can't do it, you can't do it. Speaking of which, I should call you senior sister."

"Senior sister?" Jin Xiuzhu was shocked on the spot, "Grandpa Minglan called Senior Sister Jiang Nian?"

Ming Lan smiled and nodded, "Yes, if her name is Jiang Nian and she is the successor of Jiuzhai, then she is my senior sister. I have studied under Wanli, but because of my poor qualifications, I can only be a registered disciple, not a direct disciple. . As I said, even though I joined the sect before my senior sister, I still have to call me senior as a direct disciple. I think my senior sister must have noticed that my skills are from the same origin as my senior sister, and this is what the master taught me."

Jiang Nian laughed twice, and she was also shocked. In all these years, she had never heard Wan Li mention that he had another apprentice.

However, Ming Lan explained that he was a registered disciple, which seemed to make sense, because registered disciples were not actually apprentices in the strict sense.

He couldn't even learn Jiuzhai's important skills.

"Uh, Ming, Minglan, hello." Jiang Nian stuttered and said hello.

She had no choice but to call her junior brother directly. She really couldn't do it, and she always felt something was weird.

Anyway, it's better to call him by his name. The word "Junior Brother" is very hot on the tongue.

Jin Xiuzhu looked at Jiang Nian with difficulty. He called Minglan grandpa, but Jiang Nian thought he should call him junior brother. There was a gap in seniority.

So, how should he be called Jiang Nian?
Minglan, on the other hand, could see what Jin Xiuzhu was thinking at a glance, without having to guess at all.Seeing as the two of them came together, they must be friends.

It is a good thing that Jin Xiuzhu can become friends with Jiang Nian, and it is also very good for him. Maybe he can ask Jiang Nian for help in that matter.

"Ahem, Xiuzhu, the relationship between me and my senior sister is different from yours in this world, so we can each do our own thing without disturbing each other," Ming Lan said.

Jin Xiuzhu agreed with this statement and nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go in and talk first." Jiang Nian walked into the teahouse.

At this moment, Jiang Nian had a lot of doubts in her mind that she wanted to find out, but she wasn't sure how much Minglan knew, and why she hadn't heard anything about Minglan for so many years. Logically speaking, Wanli wouldn't know anything. It's completely unexplainable if she doesn't know.

Naturally, Minglan quickly agreed, closed the door, and hung a Do Not Disturb sign on the door. It seemed that she was going to chat with Jiang Nian alone.

Until he sat on the chair, Jiang Nian had not yet accepted the fact that he suddenly had every 60-year-old man as his junior brother.

"Senior sister, do you have many questions that you want to know?"

Yes, Minglan felt no pressure when she shouted, but Jiang Nian sounded extremely awkward and felt that he was already in his seventies or eighties.

"Yeah, tell me, why have I never seen you? You said you are the old man's apprentice. Is there any evidence?"

It's no wonder that Jiang Nian didn't believe Minglan. This incident was really shocking and unbelievable to the extreme. Under normal circumstances, Wanli wouldn't deliberately hide it from her, so there must be something wrong with it.

Minglan originally wanted Jin Xiuzhu to sit inside so that he could talk to Jiang Nian alone, but it seemed that neither Jiang Nian nor Jin Xiuzhu had any intention of avoiding it.

In this case, just listen, it seems that the relationship between the two is not simple.

Jiang Nian really didn't think much about it. He had already regarded Jin Xiuzhu as a trustworthy person, so of course he didn't need to worry about it.

Jin Xiuzhu himself may not understand why he wants to know more about Jiang Nian. He attributes this to his relationship with Minglan.

Next, Minglan slowly told Jiang Nian everything.

It turns out that more than 30 years ago, Ming Lan met Wan Li, who came out of a Taoist temple at that time.

Unfortunately, the Taoist temple was destroyed and all the Taoist priests went down the mountain.

Once again, by chance, Ming Lan was in danger while fighting a fierce ghost, and was rescued by Wan Li who was passing by. He then pestered him to become his apprentice.

Wan Li told him that Jiuzhai did not accept disciples with poor qualifications, and that accepting disciples required the consent of the ancestors.

If the ancestor does not agree, no matter how good the other person is, he will not be able to be a disciple of Jiuzhai.

After the ancestors choose a suitable disciple, they will notify the people in Jiuzhai and tell them where the disciple is in a dream, so they can just go and take it.

In this regard, the ancestors were quite good and knew how to save trouble for descendants like Jiuzhai.

Minglan couldn't be a disciple of Jiuzhai, but Wanli saw that he was willing to endure hardship, so he accepted him as a registered disciple.

Registered disciples are different from direct disciples. They do not need the consent of their ancestors, as long as they decide. In this way, Minglan used the money he earned before to buy a tea house that could no longer be opened at that time.

This tea shop is overflowing with fragrance and has been open for more than thirty years.
