Chapter 0238: Hsing Yun – Immortal Worker’s Opening

Ning Clumsy himself knew some tailoring skills.

He stocked up on some Floating Cloud raw materials because he wanted to have time to use them for practice in the future.

As for these floating cloud threads, he would first check the quality and after confirming that there was no mistake, he would directly refine them into the Floating Cloud Pa, replenishing the base of this magic weapon.

What Ning Clumsy didn’t know was that Zhu Xuanzui was not far behind him.

The mask that Ning Clumsy wore was not powerful. It was only able to slightly conceal some ordinary cultivators, and many of the elites in the Foundation Establishment would be able to see the breaks in Ning Clumsy’s face with the slightest casting of spells.

But that was what Ning Clumsy had intended to do.

The purpose was, in order to create an image to the Jindan cultivators, such as Zhu Xuan Signs, that he was not good at disguises.

Since the Jindan melee, Ning Clumsy’s every move in his daily life had been a performance, assuming that the Jindan cultivators were always observing themselves.

However, Zhu Xuanzheng did not follow him into the Cloud Merchant Residence.

Zhu Xuanzuo merely swept a light glance at Ning Clou before turning his head and burrowing into the middle of an alleyway.

At a dead end, he went straight ahead and then crashed his whole body into the wall.

The walls are just a disguise.

In the next moment, Zhu Xuanzuo entered a small courtyard.

“Brother, it’s been many years since I’ve seen you, how have you been?” A short teenage boy, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him with a smile at this time.

He was called Zhu Needle, a member of the Nandu royal family.

Unlike Zhu Xuanzui, Zhu Needle had been secretly cultivated by the royal family a long time ago, and had been roaming around for many years, gathering first-hand intelligence for the royal family.

For the past few years, Zhu Needle had been in the Flying Cloud Country, searching for the secrets of the Flying Cloud Country.

Zhu Xuanzuo and Zhu Needle were very close, and the two had practically grown up together.

When Zhu Xuanzou saw Zhu Needle, a cheerful smile also appeared on his face.

He walked in front of Zhu Needle, stretched out his hands, and vigorously patted Zhu Needle’s arms, “Little brother, finally I see you again! How’s it going, are you still used to the Flying Cloud Country food, I remember that you are spice-free.”

Zhu Needle nodded, “Actually, it’s okay, over in the Flying Cloud Country, because of the perennial rainfall and humid weather, the taste of the dishes themselves are also on the spicy side.”

“But there’s a difference between their kind of spiciness and the spiciness we have in the Southern bean country.”

“Why, that’s the sort of thing you get used to when you’ve had a lot of it.”

After Zhu Needle finished speaking, he led Zhu Xuanzou into the house and warmly entertained the latter.

“This is Cloud Tea very unusual, picked from the tea trees of the Wanxiang Cloud Sea, try it.”

Zhu Xuanzheng looked at the cup, only to see that the cloud tea leaves were slender and silver-white in color, and the tea buds were covered with a layer of lime green halo, as if they were fluffy.

He gave it a gentle sniff.

The aroma of the tea is clear and very unique, like the scent of the mountains in the early morning clouds.

Zhu Xuanzuo entered his mouth and tasted it for the first time. The tea broth was clear and translucent, instantly melting in his mouth, instantly bringing him a refreshing feeling of being in the sea of clouds.

Waiting for the tea soup to slowly sweeten in his mouth, the tea flavor gradually became mellow, with a light sweetness, like the manna contained in the clouds, the taste is layered, full and rounded.

Finally, Zhu Xuanzou exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath, only to feel the tea’s lingering flavor, sweet aftertaste, and lingering fragrance in his mouth, just like the fresh air after the clouds dispersed, which was refreshing to the mind.

Although Zhu Xuanzuo had traveled extensively and was constantly on the move, in the end, he was from a royal family, a nobleman, and was very good at tasting tea.

“It really is good tea!” Zhu Xuanzou praised.

Zhu Needle laughed, “It’s good that brother likes it, when I leave here, before I head back to the capital, I’ll send you two pounds.”

“But don’t be too short.”

“This Cloud Tea is extremely rare, and I only managed to get a total of five pounds!”

The two men were having a good time drinking tea and interacting with each other.

Although the two had not seen each other for many years, the bond that had grown together had instead mellowed over time, like a fine wine being brewed.

After the two exchanged words for a while, they talked about future arrangements.

Zhu Xuanzui inquired, “You came back from the Flying Cloud Country this time, and in the short term, you shouldn’t be going back.”

Zhu Needle nodded, “I have already received a secret order to return to the national capital. It just so happens that this cloud merchant, is going to come to the Southern Bean Country to do business, so I pretended to be a fellow to get involved, sort of hitching a ride.”

“According to the duration of my previous mission, there’s actually half a year left.”

“But I think that this time when I was summoned back, it should be because the domestic situation is more tense. I’ve heard some rumors that the Su family has been making repeated moves, and that the political situation in the country isn’t so stable.”

Zhu Xuanzui immediately revealed a flash of embarrassment, and immediately told the story of how he had probed corruption in Xuan Scale City, causing the Su Family’s reputation to fall.

Zhu Needle laughed out loud after hearing this and pointed his finger at Zhu Xuanzuo, “Older brother, you’re still the same as always.”

He took the initiative to raise his teacup, “Little brother I’m not in a position to drink alcohol right now, so I can only use tea as a substitute.”

The two of them clinked their teacups against each other once, drinking tea as if it were wine, and they were both happy and cheerful.

Zhu Needle then inquired again about Zhu Xuanzou’s recent situation.

After Zhu Xuanzuo briefly informed him, he put down his teacup and after hesitating for a while, he still said, “Since you’ve come this time, I’d like to ask you for a favor.”

Zhu Needle immediately patted his chest, “Brother, feel free to say, what little brother can do, I will definitely do my best!”
