Transcending the Nine Heavens

"Trade?" Chu Yang nodded and led the hawk-nosed Fourth Master into the northern side room; Cat Nini followed closely behind.

Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "We have guests; you go make tea. Hmm, my good tea! Hurry up!"

He spoke in an authoritative tone as if commanding a servant.

The hawk-nosed Fourth Master thought to himself, so it turns out he is a servant; I initially thought he was a steward or accountant, but I misjudged him!

Cat Nini felt a surge of anger rising in her throat, nearly exploding in fury. She wanted to lash out at someone to vent her frustration but couldn’t, especially not at her benefactor, who happened to be the rice boss. With no other options, she could only twist away in indignation.

Cat Nini muttered angrily in her heart, "Your good tea? You have no good tea at all! You're just trying to take advantage of me... Damn it, to actually treat this young master like a servant! You really have some nerve. Just wait until I repay you for this favor; I'll make sure to beat you up so badly that no one will recognize you—not your father, mother, or woman!"

Of course, Cat Nini understood Chu Yang's intentions. He merely wanted her to hide and act as a powerful force in the shadows, keeping his trump card until the most crucial moment...

But even so, Cat Teacher felt quite aggrieved: "Here I am, Cat Nini, second to none in the Cat Clan, and everyone shows me respect by calling me 'Cat Teacher'... When have I ever served others? And it has to be with this kind of person! I’m furious!"

"Making me serve tea, do you think you have that kind of status?" The proud Cat Teacher cursed in her heart a hundred times but eventually complied, making the tea and bringing it over, though she spat in it before serving...

Let you drink! Drink my saliva!

"Alright, you can leave now. Can't you see I'm discussing matters with my guests? What poor eyesight!" Chu Yang reprimanded without raising his head or opening his eyes.

Cat Nini, her stomach churning with frustration, lowered her head and left with a twisted expression.

"You're a good one, Chu Yang. I remember you! Just give me the chance, and if I don’t beat you until your butt is in the air and stick a green onion in it, I won’t share your surname! I’ll remember you for life!"

"Please." Chu Yang didn’t drink, smiling as he asked, "What is this big trade you mentioned earlier?"

"Good tea." The hawk-nosed Fourth Master elegantly raised the tea that Cat Teacher had spat into. He took a refined sip and said, "The tea has a faint special fragrance... I’ve had quite a bit of this fuzzy tip tea, but this flavor is my first time tasting it."

Cat Nini sneered in front of the men’s hall: Of course, no other fuzzy tip tea has this kind of flavor; but this pot has my spit in it, so of course, it will have a special flavor. If you can drink it, you’re truly lucky...

The only thing that made Cat Teacher somewhat dissatisfied was: such good tea, and that rascal Chu Yang didn’t even drink it...

"The trade I’m talking about is one that can ensure Chu Brother’s prosperity in Purple Twilight City." The hawk-nosed Fourth Master held the tea, seemingly enamored, and gently blew on it without raising his head.

"Oh?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.

Chu Yang was quite perceptive. He knew that although Cat Nini understood his intentions, she would inevitably feel uncomfortable. As for this pot of tea, it was simply not meant to be drunk; whether others drank it or what their reactions were after drinking it, he didn't care...

"I observe that Chu Brother's actions today suggest you have lofty ambitions, just temporarily hiding, waiting for the opportunity to soar to greatness. Opportunities are rare but not impossible. If Chu Brother truly has the heart to enter the world, I can recommend you to the city lord... At that time, Chu Brother's chance will be immensely beneficial."

The hawk-nosed Fourth Master smiled lightly: "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Hua, Hua Yi, that is my name. I am from the Jiangdong Hua Family, the fourth in line. Since you are younger than me, you can call me Fourth Brother, or just call me by my name."
