The Jade Maiden Sect's current generation truly lacked any outstanding disciples. On the Cyan Cloud List, their highest-ranked member was Youu Junlian at thirty-third. After her, no other disciple from the sect made it into the top one hundred.
Fang Huatong smiled faintly, her eyes on the teacup beside her. Seemingly intrigued by the conversation, she picked it up, her thumb and forefinger gripping the rim while her middle finger supported the base. She didn't drink right away. First, she raised the cup to her nose to inhale the aroma, then took three slow, deliberate sips. The entire sequence was as smooth as flowing water, utterly effortless.
Jiechen pressed his palms together and smiled. "Three sips to know the flavor, three encounters to stir the heart. So the Sect Leader is also a connoisseur of the Way of Tea. This humble monk failed to recognize it. I am truly ashamed."
