Chapter 112 The Teahouse's Heritage! Chen Feng's Distress!
Amid the cheers of the people, a look of shock flashed across Old Ancestor Feng Hai's face, but it quickly nodded towards Lu Li, with some admiration in his voice:
"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to be a cultivator who is proficient in the Five Elements. I am so blind!"
Lu Li chuckled, turned sideways, and said to Master Feng Hai and his disciple:
"Come this way, let's go to the teahouse and chat."
Patriarch Feng Hai signaled Chen Feng to follow, and the two crossed the street and passed a large number of tea stalls, where they saw many cultivators busying around.
Lu Li smiled and said:
"Mo Zhan had caused a big disturbance here before, leaving the place unrecognizable, so we found this group of cultivators from Qiankun Bank to start the construction."
Patriarch Feng Hai nodded and walked to the door of the teahouse, where two girls, one tall and one short, were squatting.
The tall girl in red was lively and naughty, and made a lot of noise, while the short girl in yellow next to her was completely different. She had an old look on her face, and was calm and composed. No matter how the girl next to her teased her, she just cracked her melon seeds as steadily as a mountain.
Patriarch Feng Hai glanced at the two girls. The girl in yellow seemed to sense something and raised her head to look at him.
"A strong man in the holy realm!"
Patriarch Feng Hai narrowed his eyes and saw at a glance that this girl was extraordinary.
“Could she be the Fairy Haoyue who sought enlightenment overnight? She is actually... guarding the door for Lu Li!”
He had heard of this girl before, and he admired her understanding very much. He also wanted to make friends with her, so he nodded to her.
Fairy Haoyue looked coldly and lowered her head to crack her melon seeds.
Patriarch Feng Hai felt a little unhappy, but he could only follow Lu Li into the teahouse.
There was a gentleman's jade as big as a millstone hanging in the teahouse. Mo Wuya was wiping it. When he saw Lu Li coming with guests, he stopped his work and said:
"Please wait a moment, my dear. I will go make some tea."
Patriarch Feng Hai had been in seclusion for decades and did not know Mo Wuya. He only felt that this woman was very heroic and a heroine, but she spoke very gently.
His disciple Chen Feng was surprised and said:
"Mo Wuya! Master, she is Mo Wuya! She is Mo Zhan's daughter!"
When Chen Feng was adventuring in Jizhai Country, he once participated in a battle to encircle and suppress this woman, but was defeated by the enemy in one move, leaving a trauma in his mind ever since.
Therefore, he could never forget the woman's appearance and recognized her at the first sight.
Patriarch Feng Hai was startled and glanced at Lu Li, but the latter was extremely indifferent.
Ancestor Feng Hai thought for a moment and said to Chen Feng:
"Don't make a fuss. I brought you here today to ask Mr. Lu for some pointers. Please leave a good impression on others and don't lose face for me!"
Chen Feng had no choice but to suppress his shock. He felt very uncomfortable after taking his seat. He hesitated for a long time before accepting the tea handed to him by Mo Wuya.
Patriarch Feng Hai coughed and was about to speak when he saw a woman in white rushing over. She was slightly older than Mo Wuya, and was even more stunningly beautiful with a slim figure and a cold look in her eyes.
"Mo Wuya, you don't have to pour Mr. Lu's tea!"
She folded her arms across her chest, stood beside Mo Wuya, and stared at the woman sharply.
Mo Wuya looked at Lu Li, and after getting the hint from his eyes, he chuckled, put down the teapot and left.
Chen Feng looked at Su Huanzhen and was amazed by her appearance.
Patriarch Feng Hai began to murmur in his heart:
"How come there are no mediocre people in this Lu Li teahouse? One of the two maids serving tea is at the peak of the Dao realm, and the other is at the Dao enlightenment realm. If they were placed outside, they would also be good hands."
Lu Li took a sip of tea and said:
"Just now, the ancestor said that you two just happened to come to my place, and wanted me to give you some pointers. Isn't this because of Mr. Lu's joke? With my little ability, how dare I teach you carelessly?"
"Not to mention in front of you, the Grandmaster!" Ancestor Feng Hai shook his head:
"Based on the skill Mr. Lu showed just now, I feel ashamed of myself!"
"My disciple has some talent and has been going smoothly on his cultivation path. However, he suffered a few setbacks and his cultivation level has stagnated. That's why I want to seek advice from Mr. Lu."
"After all, the three thousand great ways all lead to the same destination. Mr. Lu, if you share your experience in cultivation with me, it will be enough for me, your disciple, to benefit from it for the rest of my life."
Lu Li smiled bitterly and said:
"At the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, he has already reached the Dao-asking realm, but the ancestor is still not satisfied. This is a bit too hasty."
"I am just a storyteller, and I can only talk. If you, my disciple, have any questions, please ask them now, and we will answer them separately."
Lu Li knew that this Feng Hai Patriarch was most likely here to test him, and he had no intention of answering.
Patriarch Feng Hai listened to Lu Li's excuses but didn't take them seriously. He just wanted to find an excuse to get closer to Lu Li.
Unexpectedly, Chen Feng spoke up himself:
"Mr. Lu, I am indeed confused and would like to ask you to help me solve my doubts, but they are not about cultivation."
Patriarch Feng Hai glanced at Chen Feng and thought to himself, you kid, instead of telling your master about your worries, you tell outsiders about it?
But since Chen Feng had already spoken, it was difficult for him to stop him.
Chen Feng continued:
"Mr. Lu, do you know my background?"
Lu Li's name as the Know-it-all has spread throughout the cultivation world, so Chen Feng asked this question.
Lu Li nodded and blurted out:
"When you were young, you followed your parents to sea. You encountered a storm at sea and your ship capsized. You were rescued by the spirit beast of the Fenghai Patriarch and later became his disciple."
Patriarch Feng Hai was slightly surprised and became more wary of Lu Li.
Chen Feng showed a look of pain:
"Yes, I have no relatives, and I only have some feelings for my master and fellow apprentices."
"After that, I went out to explore the world and met several close friends, but we never met again for various reasons."
"I often wonder what the purpose of my generation of monks' practice is."
"Stepping into a higher realm? Immortality?"
"Practice cannot eradicate the seven emotions and six desires. We still have human emotions and human sufferings."
"No matter how high your cultivation is, there will always be things you can't do and wishes you can't fulfill."
"I can't explain why I'm confused right now. That's my problem."
Lu Li looked at Ancestor Feng Hai and said:
"Old Ancestor, what do you think?"
Ancestor Feng Hai pondered and said:
"Chen Feng, everyone has gone through this stage. It's normal to feel confused."
"I cannot enlighten you, I can only teach you. The further you go, the less regrets you will have."
At this time, Lu Li laughed and said:
"Are you serious, Old Ancestor? But sometimes, in order to move forward, people often have to add a lot of regrets, don't they?"
"Things are unpredictable, and nothing can go as one wishes."
Patriarch Feng Hai cursed inwardly, his statement was very official. In fact, he didn't know how to enlighten others, so he could only say some meaningless nonsense.
