Chapter 122: Brewing Tea
The Ouyang Family gestured for Qin Ming to take a seat and personally brewed tea for him.
Qin Ming said slowly, "Old Man Ouyang, I came here this time to discuss the distribution of the profits in Liu City.
The Qin Family could defeat the invaders and become the undisputed number one Family in Liu City, all thanks to the help of the Ouyang Family.
Now that it is time to reap the fruits of victory, we naturally need to discuss things properly."
The old man, who was in the middle of pouring tea, had his hand tremble, causing the tea to splash out.
Steadying his mind, the Ouyang elder began to brew the tea again.
"Old Man, let me do it. You just sit back!" Qin Ming took over from the Ouyang elder and began to brew tea for both of them.
The Ouyang elder personally brewing tea for Qin Ming was placing him on equal footing. Naturally, Qin Ming could not let the Ouyang elder actually brew the tea.
The Ouyang elder was an elder, and as a Junior, how could he let an elder brew tea?
"I am old, I am old, I am useless now!" The Ouyang Family sighed as he watched Qin Ming's skilled tea-brewing technique.
If he had a descendant in his Family like Qin Ming, he would wake up laughing in his dreams. Unfortunately, his own descendants, while capable enough, were like comparing a worm to a Dragon when placed beside Qin Ming; they simply could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Qin Ming had already begun to stir up winds and rain throughout Liu City, while his own descendants were still living under their protection.
"Not at all. The Ouyang Family head is still very young and is a master in the Grand Martial Master Realm. You are in your prime, how could you be old?" Qin Ming said with a smile as he brewed the tea.
In a moment, Qin Ming had finished brewing the tea and poured a cup for the Ouyang Family head and himself.
"Great skill!" The Ouyang Family tasted the tea handed to him by Qin Ming, and after taking a sip, praised it.
"It is because your tea, Ouyang Family, is excellent." Qin Ming also took a sip of tea and smiled.
The Ouyang Family head smiled faintly. This was the best tea in his Family, so the taste was naturally good.
Usually, the maids' skills were not up to par, and the tea they brewed was not as delicious as the tea Qin Ming brewed. He did not know who Qin Ming had learned from; his tea-brewing technique was seasoned, as if he had specifically practiced it.
"It is still your tea-brewing skill that is good, Qin Ming. Usually, I specifically hire people to come and brew tea, but it still does not compare to the fragrance of the tea you brew!" the Ouyang Family head said.
Qin Ming waved his hand and said, "Old Man Ouyang, you are teasing me. How could my meager Cultivation Technique compare to a professional tea master?"
The Ouyang Family head focused on tasting the tea, as if he had not heard Qin Ming's earlier mention of distributing the profits of Liu City.
After finishing a cup of tea, Qin Ming took the initiative to say, "Old Man Ouyang, I came here this time to discuss how we should specifically distribute the profits.
Now that the entire Liu City belongs to the Qin Family and the Ouyang Family, we should divide it up now to avoid any unpleasant incidents in the future."
The entire Liu City?
The Ouyang Family head was shocked; he had not expected that they were going to distribute the profits of the entire Liu City.
"You have occupied the entire Liu City, but what about the City Lord?" the Ouyang Family head asked.
"The City Lord? He will not be the City Lord for much longer. When that time comes, if he is sensible, I will let him get out of Liu City. If he is not sensible, he will remain in Liu City forever." Qin Ming said with a faint smile.
As soon as the imperial appointment arrived, he could kill the City Lord.
Of course, Qin Ming was not a bloodthirsty person. If City Lord Qian left obediently, Qin Ming would not mind sparing his life.
But if he insisted on staying in Liu City, Qin Ming would let him experience his methods.
Once City Lord Qian was no longer the City Lord, if Qin Ming killed him, the imperial Family would save face, and they would not cause him any trouble at all.
