Chapter 190 Testing, Su Hua's Astonishment
"What is this Grand Immortal Tea? Just a type of tea leaves, yet it possesses celestial grades?"
Gu Lan felt mildly astonished in her heart.
It's worth noting that the ordinary medicinal herbs used for alchemy in the mortal realm, at most, reach the Imperial Grade level.
Celestial-grade divine medicines, such as the Soul Returning Pill and Resurrection Pill he had obtained before, are all miraculous products refined by the changes of heaven and earth.
At this moment, the system rewarded a type of tea, claiming it to be a celestial-grade treasure.
Gu Lan was somewhat surprised.
What kind of tea leaves could be rated as celestial-grade?
Could drinking it make mortals ascend to immortality, or even let celestial-grade beings ascend during broad daylight?
Su Hua didn't notice Gu Lan's distraction and continued to inquire, "So, does this mean you have reached the third realm of tea mastery?"
Gu Lan regained her composure and smiled faintly, "Me? How can there be any realm? I'm just drinking tea to quench my thirst."
Su Hua was initially taken aback, but then his eyes sparkled, and he laughed heartily, "Hahaha, interesting, very interesting! Well said, the most essential purpose of drinking tea is indeed to quench one's thirst. My pursuit of the way of tea has instead fallen into mediocrity! To replace wine with tea, I shall punish myself with a cup!"
Immediately, Su Hua raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Despite feeling refreshed, his expression froze slightly.
Huh? This fellow is peculiar. How did he end up praising me in the midst of the conversation?
Today's discussion of tea mastery is only superficial.
The most important thing is to teach Gu Lan a lesson and restore some pride for his disciples.
The way of tea was just a method he came up with.
However, being misled by Gu Lan's talk of three realms of tea mastery, and worse, Su Hua actually found it reasonable, naturally, he couldn't continue to press the matter further on this front!
However, if the literary arts didn't work, he still had martial ones.
Su Hua formed hand seals within his robe, and an invisible pressure enveloped Gu Lan.
If Gu Lan were an ordinary person or just a talented youth, he would definitely have to endure some suffering, making him refrain from bullying his disciple, Mu Yuyan, in the future.
However!
Su Hua certainly didn't expect that Gu Lan was not only no ordinary person but also had higher cultivation than him!
Gu Lan was momentarily stunned, feeling the light pressure as light as a feather.
It seemed somewhat unbelievable.
Could Grand Tutor really be trying to suppress him? Ha... Haha...
After realizing what was happening, Gu Lan suppressed his amusement and continued to drink his tea with ease.
"Teacher... You don't know, this guy is really bad. The first time I met him, he scared me. Oh right! A few days ago, he even bullied my sister!"
Princess Ming Yue remembered the time she talked behind Gu Lan's back, fearing he would hold her accountable.
She hid behind her teacher, intending to report the bad behavior first...
Gu Lan hadn't spoken yet, and Su Hua frowned, "Ming Yue, this is your sister's husband. How can you be so rude?"
"Teacher... you don't know, this guy is really bad. The first time I saw him, he scared me. Oh, and a few days ago, he even bullied my sister!"
Princess Ming Yue recalled the time she spoke ill of Gu Lan behind his back, fearing he would hold her accountable.
She hid behind her teacher, intending to complain first...
Gu Lan hadn't spoken yet, and Su Hua frowned, "Ming Yue, this is your sister's husband. You should show some respect."
"What do you mean by that?"
Su Hua glared at him, saying, "Isn't it because of you that Her Majesty returned to the palace in tears a few days ago?"
"Indeed..." Gu Lan revealed a faint smile.
However, he also reflected inwardly.
It seemed that his actions of teasing Madam a while ago were a bit too much, causing Madam to return to the palace in tears, and even the Grand Tutor knew about it!
Thinking about it, Madam forgave him so quickly.
It seems that being favored by one's spouse made him a bit too presumptuous...
Seeing that the conversation had opened up, Gu Lan seemed to realize his mistake, and Su Hua, after glaring at him unkindly didn't pursue the matter further.
There's a time and place for everything, and sometimes, it's not good for an elder to meddle too much in the affairs of a couple.
Su Hua understood the boundaries well.
"Teacher, I'm back!"
A bright and lively voice sounded from outside the study.
Gu Lan found it somewhat familiar, and the next moment, Princess Ming Yue burst into the room energetically.
Her face was filled with a cheerful smile, clearly having a good time with the eunuchs and palace maids.
She even remembered, for the first time, the need to return to the Eastern Palace to study!
However, the moment she entered the room, Princess Ming Yue's smile froze as she pointed at Gu Lan in astonishment, "Oh! Why are you here?"
Gu Lan had not spoken yet, and Su Hua furrowed his brow, "Ming Yue, this is your elder sister's husband. How can you be so disrespectful?"
"Teacher... you don't know, this guy is really bad. The first time I saw him, he scared me. Oh, and a few days ago, he even bullied my sister!"
Princess Ming Yue remembered the time she spoke ill of Gu Lan behind his back, fearing he would hold her accountable.
She hid behind her teacher, intending to complain first...
