Chapter 100

As the petals of the hundred flowers were served one by one,

Azhi opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.

This tea, which Azhi and Tang Zheng had drunk at Yangxian Tower ten days ago, meant that even Azhi knew that the Hundred Flowers Morning Dew required the tea to be served and removed repeatedly, a total of seven times.

These seven times used the same pot of tea, but the amazing thing was that the taste was different each time!

Many people, although they had never tasted the Hundred Flowers Morning Dew, knew that the key to enjoying it was to take it slowly. Slowly drinking the seven cups of tea, one by one, until the last, the fragrance would permeate every limb and bone. Regardless of whether one was a tea connoisseur or not, anyone who had tasted it once would never forget the flavor.

However, Lan Shaoye's mind was not on the tea at all.

No matter how good the tea, it tasted no different from horse urine to him now.

When Tang Zheng was talking to Lu Huang just now, his gaze was fixed on Tang Zheng until Tang Zheng and Tang Boyuan switched places, and then he retracted his gaze.

His hand slowly clenched.

He could feel that the threat from Tang Zheng was growing. Not only had the lethal force he sent out last time disappeared without a trace, but Tang Zheng could also make a Six-Star powerhouse look at him with new respect and talk to him with great pleasure.

It was known that before Lu Huang entered Yangxian Tower and met Tang Zheng, he had not spoken a single word to anyone else!

"Lan Shaoye, prepare yourself," Lan Shaoye said, looking at the misty tea, in a low voice.

"Huh?" Xu Qingyan's lips had just touched the teacup.

"Tonight, when he returns to Tang Family Castle, it will be his end," Lan Shaoye said.

"Understood," Xu Qingyan did not even look up, truly savoring the tea.

The second pot of tea was already being served.

Lan Shaoye casually finished the first cup of tea and placed the cup on the table.

The beauty holding the teapot poured the second cup into his cup...

The servant by Lan Shaoye's side tested the tea for poison again and nodded to Lan Shaoye.

Lan Shaoye picked up the cup but put it down again: "I'll go to the restroom for a moment, I'll be right back."

"Now?" Xu Qingyan looked at the teacup, "You're not going to finish the seven cups first?"

"Just the Hundred Flowers Morning Dew. I still have half a liang left at home. I'll have someone send it to you tonight," Lan Shaoye, who did not love tea, naturally did not have much feeling for the tea at Lu Huang's banquet for Tang Zheng.

Xu Qingyan nodded and continued to drink his tea.

Lan Shaoye glanced at the guests in Yangxian Tower. There were not many who understood tea, but there were quite a few who could talk about the seven infusions of the Hundred Flowers in detail.

He sneered.

Who couldn't pretend to be refined? However, in a place like Wulong Town, the words "refined" seemed somewhat ridiculous.

Lan Shaoye walked along the winding stone path in the back garden, passing through a beautifully trimmed garden. Three rooms in a row, the restrooms, were hidden among the meticulously trimmed bamboo leaves, reducing the filth and adding a touch of tea aroma.

Lan Shaoye pushed open the door of the leftmost room, standing at the door without immediately going in.

Although he knew that all the guests at Yangxian Tower were waiting for the seven infusions of the Hundred Flowers to be served, and no one would come to disturb him while he urinated, he had developed the habit of being cautious in everything, even before entering his own bedroom.

The Hidden Blue Manor was not like Tang Family Castle, and he was the only legitimate son of the Lan family. People who wanted his life were everywhere!

Even at home, it was not a safe place.

After making sure that there was no place in the restroom where someone could hide, Lan Shaoye walked in, locked the door, and began to urinate.

There was no preparation; his urge to urinate came quickly.

Soon, a stream of water fell into the toilet...

At that moment, a fierce attack formed by a thread of star power pierced through the partition between the two restrooms!

Lan Shaoye did not have time to draw his sword and directly struck with his hand.

However, the attack suddenly rose, aiming straight for his throat!

Who could interrupt the act of urination? His star power could not be raised in time to form an effective defense, so he quickly twisted his body to avoid it. The attack was too fast and left a long bloody gash just half an inch from his throat...

His hand did not block the attack and directly hit the partition, shattering the wooden board.

When Azhi first saw the scene, he saw a long, clear line with a slight yellow tinge, thrown up by Lan Shaoye's evasive movement, and then it fell drop by drop onto his nose, lips, and clothes.

Azhi could not help but vomit and muttered, "Killing someone is just a matter of a nod, but this is also possible?!"

...

Just a little more!

The two daggers in Tang Zheng's hands were held very tightly.

Just now, he had used one hand to start the gesture and the other to strike, accurately seizing the moment when Lan Shaoye was not using his star power, almost ending Lan Shaoye in a very ungraceful position.

Unfortunately, when Lan Shaoye faced the attack, at the critical moment, he did not instinctively use his star power but took the fastest action—dodging.

Lan Shaoye was saved by this correct choice.

Although he was injured, and the injury was very close to a vital point, which might be a breakthrough for the next attack, it was better than being taken out in one hit!

Lan Shaoye's sword was already drawn with a swift motion.

When he drew the sword, he instinctively frowned—his sword handle was also covered with his own urine.

It was simply disgusting!

When the partition was shattered, Lan Shaoye had already seen Tang Zheng's face. He turned the sword and immediately launched a "Hook Heart Sword," the sharp momentum almost piercing through Tang Zheng.

"Hey, your pants aren't on properly..." Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, seeing the opportunity, and extended his star power forward. Just as Lan Shaoye's sword reached him, he suddenly used his "Rain Rest" technique!

The peak power of a One Palace Two Star extended toward Lan Shaoye's Two Star power. The collision sent Tang Zheng's "Rain Rest" technique shaking, pushing him toward Lan Shaoye with momentum.

Defending, then attacking!

Lan Shaoye, seeing his Two Star power reversed, was not surprised. He raised his hand and struck his own star power again, shattering both streams of star power...

Lan Shaoye took two steps back.

Tang Zheng was pushed back five to six steps, feeling a闷闷的胸闷.

Lan Shaoye, using his star power to collide with his own, also paused in his breathing, as the force he used to activate his star power made the wound on his neck expand a bit, cracking a little toward the vital point...

At that moment, a sword with terrifying killing intent rushed from behind Lan Shaoye.

Two Star!

Lan Shaoye, who was too focused on Tang Zheng and had just exchanged two attacks and defenses with him, did not have time to turn around when he heard the wind.

Lan Shaoye took a deep breath and, without hesitation, extended his left hand to crush the necklace hanging around his neck.

Ding ding!

The sword techniques condensed at the tips of Azhi's dual swords seemed to hit a solid wall, the swords twisting and rebounding, pushing Azhi back.

Tang Zheng was not surprised by Azhi's choice to attack at this moment.

What surprised him was Lan Shaoye.

Lan Shaoye's decisions at every critical point were too correct, and there was not a hint of hesitation in his battle.

Although Tang Zheng did not know what he had crushed, he could be sure that it was some special item used to protect himself in a crisis.

"Hope what he crushed isn't the Rain Flower Seal, I've already set my eyes on it..." Tang Zheng muttered to himself and said to Azhi, "We agreed on one strike. Go south!"

The entire battle did not last more than twenty breaths!

However, in those twenty breaths, Tang Zheng had already exchanged three moves with Lan Shaoye, which was a significant violation for him.

In the past, when he failed to assassinate an important target with his first strike, he would not stop for a second but immediately turn and leave, looking for the next assassination point!

Tang Zheng warned himself and dashed north...

Azhi, hearing Tang Zheng's voice, did not think twice and ran south as instructed.

However, after running for a while and stopping, he found himself standing at the entrance of Yangxian Tower!

Tang Zheng and Lan Shaoye were nowhere to be seen...

"Ah ah ah ah ah!" Azhi realized that Tang Zheng had told him to run south but did not say he would run south himself.

Azhi almost guessed that he must have run north.

North was the way to leave Yangxian Tower from the back garden, and not far from the back street, after climbing a few walls...

Azhi's eyelids twitched: "It seems... it's Echo Alley again?"

As for where Lan Shaoye had gone, there was no need to consider it. Azhi ran south, and Tang Zheng ran north. He would definitely know who to chase if he wasn't crazy.

Azhi quickly lifted his foot and headed north, crossing the restroom and climbing over the low wall in the back garden of Yangxian Tower, then suddenly stopped.

"Am I really going to do something bad?" Azhi, whose sword had missed, was already a bit uncertain. He shook his head, "Spit, spit, spit, if it's bad, it's bad. Why should I care if he lives or dies?"

However, the foot he had taken out was pulled back before it landed.

Azhi leaned against the wall, his toes drawing circles on the ground: "Who... who said I'm going to do something bad? I'm going to save him... No, I don't want to save him, it's best if he gets killed! No... I won't save him, so I won't go, I'll just wait here."

After a while, he raised his head, his eyes seemingly able to penetrate several walls, and his cold little mouth spat out a decisive decision: "I'll only count to two hundred here. If that waste of space hasn't come back by then, I'll go find him."

Then, the counting "one, two, three..." quietly echoed at the base of the wall in the back garden of Yangxian Tower.
