Xu Qing looked at the teacup the old monk handed her and nodded as she took it. There was tea in the white porcelain cup. The teacup was as white as snow and there was a vivid lotus flower carved on it, giving off a peaceful vibe. She smelled the tea. It smelled very aromatic and was obviously high-quality tea.

Xu Qing's expression changed and she immediately looked up at the old monk. Just as she was about to ask something, the old monk smiled and shook his head. "Words are unnecessary!"
