"I wonder if Miss Shiyin will come again today?"
"Of course she will. Even if she doesn't come on other days, she will definitely come to the Heavenly Star Tavern on this day every month."
"Is that so? That's great."
"However, I advise you not to have any expectations."
"Of course I don't have any expectations. I just … just want to take a look at Miss Shiyin."
"Looks like there are quite a few people who went to strike up a conversation with her with high hopes but returned empty-handed."
"I heard that our Central Region's Xuanwu Sect's alchemy genius, Si Kongyu, came to the Heavenly Star Tavern today."
"What? The Xuanwu Sect's Si Kongyu that can definitely be ranked in the top 10 of all the powers in the Central Region?"
"That's right!"
"I heard that Si Kongyu has already obtained the qualifications to become a third-grade alchemist and is trying to become a fourth-grade alchemist."
"Si Kongyu is only 24 or 25 years old, yet he has such achievements. He is truly a genius in alchemy."
"I'm afraid we won't even have the slightest chance when Si Kongyu comes."
…
The people around Lin Long quickly shifted the topic from Lin Long to Si Kongyu. After talking about Si Kongyu, their moods clearly became a lot more downcast.
Right at this moment, an excited voice suddenly sounded out from the corridor ahead. "Eh, is that Xuanwu Sect's Senior Brother Si Kongyu? I'm Dragon Tiger Sect's Luo Hu. Do you still remember me? "
When they heard this, everyone on the fifth floor shifted their gazes over.
They saw a young man excitedly talking to an elegant young master who was sitting at a table by the corridor.
"Is that Si Kongyu? Hearing about him is really not as good as meeting him in person. "
"He seems to be even more handsome than the rumors say."
"Look, he's wearing the Alchemist Alliance's special uniform. Moreover, there are three flowers embroidered on his chest. That's the symbol of a third-grade alchemist."
"I'm afraid such a person will be able to strike up a conversation with Miss Shiyin today."
For a time, the people on the fifth floor started whispering. Under their envious and jealous gazes, there were even people like Luo Hu who went up to chat with Si Kongyu and try to establish a relationship.
After all, even if they couldn't get a chance to strike up a conversation with Lin Shiyin, they could still establish a relationship with Si Kongyu.
He immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. The elegant Sikong Yu was naturally very proud of himself.
By then, the waiter had already brought the jasmine tea that Linlong had ordered.
After pouring the tea and taking a sip, Linlong furrowed his brows. The taste didn't seem right. He immediately turned to the waiter who was about to leave and said, "Waiter, this pot of tea doesn't taste good enough. Add more Sky Blue Grass and Light Water Willow."
"This …" After hearing Linlong's words, the waiter was clearly taken aback. However, he quickly nodded and said, "Young Master, please wait a moment. I will take it back and brew it again."
After saying that, he picked up the teapot he had just put down and walked back.
This brat was really a maverick. What Sky Blue Grass, Light Water Willow, could these things be drunk in tea? Hearing Lin Long's words, the people around him started to despise Lin Long again.
Not long after, the waiter brought over another pot of tea. This time, after tasting it, Linlong nodded his head slightly. The taste was very good. It was almost the same as the taste in his previous life.
"She's here, she's here. Miss Shiyin is here …"
It was also at this moment that a commotion came from downstairs. The people on the fifth floor who were near the windows hurriedly craned their necks to take a look. They saw several servant girls escorting an extremely beautiful young girl along the street towards the Heavenly Star Tavern.
This young girl had a simple and elegant smile on her face. Coupled with her appearance and figure, she looked like a fairy that had descended from the heavens. She made people feel tender affection for her, but they also could not bring themselves to have any dirty thoughts.
Even though she was only wearing an ordinary Alchemist Alliance uniform that did not even have a flower embroidered on the chest area, how could the people on the street and the noble young masters in the Heavenly Star Tavern not see that she was the only female disciple of the Alchemist Alliance's president, Lin Shiyin?
After the young girl entered the tavern, the noble young masters in the tavern behaved even more elegantly and at ease.
They hoped to obtain Lin Shiyin's favor.
Some of the more daring ones even rubbed their palms together, preparing to strike up a perfect conversation at a crucial moment.
Some were still pondering while others had already made their move.
From the first floor to the fourth floor, at least 8 people had tried to strike up a conversation.
8 people seemed to be a small number, but 8 people at a time, for so many days and so many years, was not a small number.
It should be known that these people who dared to strike up a conversation basically all had a certain level of ability and status and were extremely confident in themselves.
However, it was a pity that these people all failed.
Almost all of them were flatly rejected by the servant girl at the very front. As for that Lin Shiyin, even though she still had a simple and elegant smile on her face, how could she not know that she had been rejected?
This kind of situation made 90% of the people on the fifth floor give up.
Those who did not give up basically also lost their courage.
The only one who did not give up and was extremely confident was perhaps that Sikong Yu.
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from the top of the stairs, Sikong Yu immediately stood up while waving his fan. Under everyone's gazes, he walked elegantly to the top of the stairs and waited.
When Lin Shiyin and the others came up, he greeted them with a smiling face and said courteously: "How are you, Miss Shiyin? I am Sikong Yu, the junior master of the Xuanwu school. I wonder if I can invite you to taste wine and discuss medicine with me today?"
Good heavens, this Sikong Yu is unexpectedly the junior master of the Xuanwu school! Hearing what Sikong Yu said, everyone in the surroundings was astonished.
They simply did not expect Sikong Yu to have such an identity.
Not only was he a heaven-gifted genius, but he even had such a high status which they could not catch up with even if they whipped their horses.
At the moment, they could only feel envious and jealous in their hearts.
"So it's Mister Sikong. How could I dare to trouble Mister Sikong …" The speaker was Lin Shiyin. Her voice was clear and melodious, making the people around her feel extremely comfortable.
However, this was not the main point. The main point was that Lin Shiyin unexpectedly answered him personally and even in such a humble manner. It should be known that those people who struck up a conversation just now simply could not receive such treatment.
Could it be that this Sikong Yu had a chance? For a moment, this kind of thought appeared in everybody's mind.
However, they did not find it strange at all. After all, Sikong Yu's status and power were there for all to see.
Sikong Yu, who himself also felt that there was a chance, smiled even more brightly. He had already made an inviting gesture and even opened his mouth: "Miss Shiyin, please …"
However, before he could finish the word 'please', his voice stopped abruptly. His smile also froze on his face, making him look extremely embarrassed.
Because at this crucial moment, Lin Shiyin suddenly smiled and said: "You're too polite, Mister Sikong. I already have an appointment so I'm sorry I can't accompany you. I hope Mister Sikong will have a good time."
After saying so, without waiting for Sikong Yu's reply, she has already lightly and gracefully walked upstairs.
This Heavenly Star Tavern did not only have 5 floors but 6. The 6th floor was not open to the public because it was specially prepared for Lin Shiyin.
Even though Lin Shiyin said so, everybody, including Sikong Yu, simply did not believe that Lin Shiyin had an appointment with anyone because she had said the same thing more than once. Moreover, every time she said this, she was tasting wine alone.
This was clearly a refusal that gave her a way out of the embarrassing situation.
"Then … when Miss Shiyin is free, I'll invite you again." Sikong Yu said extremely embarrassedly.
On the surface, he still looked elegant and graceful, but in his heart he was already extremely disappointed. He really did not know what he was lacking in.
"I've already said that even if this Sikong Yu is extremely outstanding, Miss Shiyin won't treat him differently."
Seeing such a scene, some people could not help gloating. Of course, he only dared to say this to his companions in a low voice.
After coming to the 6th floor and sitting at a table, Lin Shiyin said to a waiter who had just come over: "Waiter, the same rule, jasmine tea."
If those nobles below heard this, they would probably be dumbfounded. Lin Shiyin had unexpectedly come here only to drink tea and not to taste wine.
"Miss Shiyin, I'm afraid today's jasmine tea doesn't have the same taste as before." Hearing Lin Shiyin's words, the waiter said with a forced smile.
"What? Is Master Zhuo not here?" Lin Shiyin was somewhat surprised.
"That's not it. It's just that recently the Sky Blue Grass is extremely out of stock." The waiter explained.
"It's just that when I came here the day before yesterday, there was just enough Sky Blue Grass left." Lin Shiyin frowned.
"If you had come a bit earlier, there would have been just enough Sky Blue Grass. Unfortunately, just now a young master also came to put the Sky Blue Grass, so …" The waiter said.
As soon as they heard this, Lin Shiyin and the others, including her maid, were all surprised.
No wonder they were surprised, because basically only they and the few people in the Heavenly Star Tavern knew that the Sky Blue Grass was added to the jasmine tea.
Seeing their expressions, the waiter also could not help being surprised. "Miss Shiyin, I thought it was you who told him, and he even used a wine cup to drink tea."
"He also used a wine cup to drink tea?" Lin Shiyin and the others were even more surprised.
The same thought immediately appeared in their minds, and that was, that person must have used some shameful method to find out this secret, and then wanted to use it to attract Lin Shiyin's attention.
Lin Shiyin hated this kind of person the most, so her expression immediately changed. She said to the maid beside her, "Xiao Ling, go tell him, don't use this kind of method."
Lin Shiyin was naturally angry, after all, she came here to drink the Sky Blue Grass and Light Water Willow tea brewed by Master Zhuo. Who would have thought that she would come here for nothing because of that person.
The reason why Lin Shiyin wanted to drink this tea, was because only this tea could calm her body, which was relatively weak, and the blood in her body was always churning.
