Under the guidance of the staff, Qi Xiang walked around the palace gate and walked in through the small door on the side.

Apart from one door, there are two completely different worlds.

Outside, camellias are in full bloom, swaying in the wind, colorful, and natural. Inside the palace, it is magnificent, with yellow and white light intertwined, full of luxury.

The bright red and soft carpet covers every corner of the palace. The golden wall lamps on the walls even reflect the long corridors brilliantly and dazzlingly.

Qi Xiang went deeper step by step, as if she had arrived at a castle made of gold and jewelry. Her eyes were almost dazzled and she couldn't open it at all. She had to bow her head and walk, as if a devout believer was worshiping this golden kingdom.

It's strange to say that he didn't meet anyone along the way. The huge palace seemed empty, and there was no one else except him and the staff who led the way.

Qi Xiang knew that this must be an illusion. He speculated in his heart, but on the surface he was calm. Under the guidance of the staff, he walked through the long corridor and entered a comfortable room.

"Dear guest, please sit down..."

When they arrived at the destination, the staff left. When they alternated with the staff, another girl in a uniform, graceful figure and very beautiful figure walked in.

The beautiful girl was walking lightly and holding a bamboo tray in her slender hands. On top of the tray was a beautiful tea set that was neatly arranged and orderly.

"Hello, sir. Next, I will serve you." The beautiful girl spoke softly Wu, her voice was very gentle, gripping and pleasing to the eye.

Qi Xiang nodded slightly, calmly and waited silently.

The beautiful girl seemed to not care about Qi Xiang's attitude. She just held the tray and walked to the table, then bent her feet and knelt down gently. She was very focused, stretched out her white little hands, and carefully moved the tea sets on the dragged tray to the table one by one.

There is a pot of boiling water on the table and a clear and pure mountain spring water.

There is no shortage of quaint red mud stoves and olive-shaped smokeless charcoal...

The girl made tea with her savory hands, and her movements were very graceful and soothing, as if she was directing a beautiful melody, which was already an art and a manifestation of Tao.

Qi Xiang carefully watched it, and finally took the tea presented by the girl and sipped it slightly. The slightly hot tea soup entered her throat and immediately turned into a fragrant body fluid, making people feel endless aftertaste.

Qi Xiang leaned against the soft sofa and couldn't help but close her eyes and carefully savor the taste of the tea. After a while, he opened his eyes, but found that the girl who made the tea had left the room at some point.

At this moment, it seemed that he was the only one in the spacious room.

Qi Xiang was very calm about this and said calmly: "I have been peeking for so long, should you come out?"

The room was silent, but the next second, a row of bookshelfs on the side suddenly cracked, forming a door. A beautiful woman wearing colorful clothes, casually tied her black hair and a lazy atmosphere walked out casually.

"Mr. Lei, it's been a long time since I saw you, how are you doing recently?" The beauty smiled sweetly, her steps were light, and she sat opposite Qi Xiang, with her body slightly on her face, and her posture was very elegant.

After changing into a dress, it was no longer a fresh and elegant white lotus, but a gorgeous and beautiful flower butterfly.

“The temperament is really varied…”

Qi Xiang smiled, not surprised, and nodded slightly and responded: "Miss Bai, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

"I must care about my benefactor."

The beauty smiled brightly and said softly: "So I found that this tea party didn't invite you, so I just took my own initiative and sent you an invitation. Don't you mind?"

Qi Xiang raised her eyebrows and asked with the flow: "I don't mind, I just think it's a bit strange..."

"What's strange?" The beauty cuts her eyes with her eyes, and the waves are flowing, and she is very shining.

Qi Xiang smiled without saying anything, and it was better to be silent than to say a hundred words.

"...You are so boring. No... you should be full of thoughts and refuse to suffer." After a moment, the beauty said angrily: "Is it really a real man who keeps talking to me?"

"Each, each other." Qi Xiang didn't dare to be careless, so as not to be sold, and even helped him count the money.

"Where is the most basic trust between people?" The beauty frowned, as if she was lamenting that the world was getting worse and the people's hearts were not as old as ever.

Qi Xiang smiled and said, "Miss Bai, I'm wondering. If you invite me here, you should just drink tea."

"Just drink tea." The beauty pursed her lips and smiled: "It's great to watch the flowers and plants by the way!"

"It's just the two of us?" Qi Xiang asked, his expression a little playful.

The beauty has a slightly wrinkled nose, which is a bit playful and cute: "If you want, you can do it."

"Uh..." Qi Xiang looked so embarrassed, and immediately said: "Miss Bai, let's not joke anymore. Let's talk about the serious business. Are you asking me here to repay me now and repay the kindness you owe?"

"You..." The beauty laughed angry and said, "People often say, don't expect to repay kindness, you're good, but you're the other way around. Are you not afraid of people scolding you for asking for kindness?"

"Not afraid, I'm setting a new trend for society."

Qi Xiang said without blinking, "As early as more than two thousand years ago, the allusion of Zigong redeeming slaves and Zilu saving people and the story of Gao Quan telling everyone that only by rewarding good things can more people continue to do good things."

"Otherwise, you will always give without any reward. Who can persevere and persevere?"

Qi Xiang quoted classics and looked without a clear conscience, leaving the beauty speechless.

"You won..."

After a while, the beauty's eyes smiled a little more: "I guessed it right, I invited you here, I really want to repay you and repay your favor. I ended this period of cause and effect."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Qi Xiang nodded and said, "Actually, I am a person who is easy to deal with. If you want to repay your kindness, I will definitely not deliberately stop you from making things difficult for you... Don't be too polite, just give me tens of millions..."

"Ten millions?" The beauty smiled angrily, her pretty eyes turned blank: "Vulgar!"

"Then you give me an artistic treasure worth tens of millions, that's fine." Qi Xiang said smoothly: "What are the Kangqian official kilns, Song, Yuan and Ming paintings, I will never refuse anyone..."

"...You said it earlier...but it's too late now."

The beauty stood up and said, "I have decided to give you a pot of flowers... Whether you are happy or not, anyway, if you take this pot of flowers, it means that the kindness between us will end and we will not owe each other..."

While speaking, the beauty patted her hands gently, and the beautiful girl who had just brewed tea came in again. She was holding a pot of things in her hand, but the things were covered by a thin cloth cage, so she couldn't see the specific situation clearly.

"No, it's this pot of flowers, you can take it."

The beauty waved her hand and said neatly: "Goodbye if you are destined to be together!"

The beauty left, and walked with the beautiful girl in a hurry, but disappeared in a blink of an eye. For a moment, Qi Xiang was left alone in the room, and the pot of plants on the table.

"Is this also called repaying kindness?" Qi Xiang was ridiculous, but his eyes were a little suspicious. He was a little curious, and after watching, he couldn't help but reach out and lift the thin cloth on the cover plant.

In an instant, a burst of fragrance came to his face, which made Qi Xiang stunned. He saw a pot of plants, which seemed to be camellia.

However, this pot of camellia is unique and should be a rare variety. On the small tea tree bonsai, the branches and leaves are green and clear, full of vitality.

On the branches and leaves, the camellias are like bowl-sized trees, blooming very beautifully, with clear layers of tower shapes and orderly arrangements, and very beautiful.

Qi Xiang counted and saw a total of eighteen flowers of perfection on a small tea tree.

Although he didn't know much about camellia varieties, he also knew some basic common sense, at least he knew about camellias like this, which seemed to be called Bachelor Eighteen.

Before Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was granted the title of King of Qin and opened a museum west of the palace city. He sent scholars from all directions, divided into three groups of 18 people including Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Lu Deming, etc., six people stayed at home every day to discuss literature, discuss ancient and modern times, and was named Eighteen Bachelors.

It was thanks to the suggestions of the Eighteenth Scholars that Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident and ascended the throne of the emperor. After becoming the emperor, Li Shimin naturally did not forget to reward the merits and awarded the Eighteenth Scholars with great rewards, allowing them to enter the cabinet and become ministers...

Therefore, the camellia variety of Bachelor Eighteen is naturally a rare class and is deeply loved by the world.

Rare varieties are naturally of higher value. Camellia with tree shape and perfect flowers are worth at least two or three million, which should not be a problem.

However, what surprised Qi Xiang was that he noticed a rich vitality on this potted camellia, and even a trace of spirituality...

"No, this is not an ordinary camellia!" Qi Xiang quickly reacted, with some surprises: "This should be... a spiritual plant, a plant containing spiritual energy."

Qi Xiang looked carefully at the camellia and became more certain that this plant should be a very rare resource like the alchemy tree, which is a certain help in practice.

"Hiss...she's really willing to..."

Qi Xiang couldn't help but be amazed and sighed at the generous and generous White Lotus's actions. Not to mention two or three million, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy such things.

When Qi Xiang was amazed, someone knocked on the door outside.

He was determined, so he covered the thin cloth and said in a deep voice: "...come in."

"...Sir, the party has begun." A staff member pushed the door open and said respectfully: "Please be prepared."

"Hmm?" Qi Xiang was stunned, and then noticed that there was a black cloak and a silver-white mask in the hands of the staff.

Qi Xiang's thoughts were full of thoughts, and immediately stood up and nodded, "Okay!"

At the right time, the staff indeed handed over the cloak and mask, helped Qi Xiang dress neatly, and then hung up the mask.

There was a mirror in the room. When Qi Xiang looked through the mirror, she saw that the cloak and the mask completely covered his body and face. Even an acquaintance could not recognize him...
