Chapter 1660 Lost Sense of Smell and Taste

When! When! When!

Just as Ye Cangtian was perceiving everything, a knock came from the door.

In the blink of an eye, another waiter walked up with a teapot.

Looking at the steaming teapot, with its rich tea aroma, Ye Cangtian smiled and asked, "Waiter, what's going on outside?"

The waiter glanced at Ye Cangtian and said helplessly, "Who knows! They insisted that the tea in my house has no flavor, no aroma. Sir, please judge for yourself..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "This tea is supposed to be fragrant, and its taste should be sweet. If it has no flavor, is it still called a tea house?"

"Exactly!"

The waiter strongly agreed with Ye Cangtian's words and continued, "They are clearly here to cause trouble. Either they don't have money to pay, or it's a scheme among competitors..."

"Perhaps."

Ye Cangtian chuckled and then waved his hand.

Seeing this, the waiter bowed. If the guest did not wish to say more, they naturally could not talk nonsense, so they directly left the room.

"What do you think?"

After the waiter left, Ye Cangtian swept his gaze across the Yuwen brothers and inquired.

The tea house was not large, and with the cultivation of the two, perceiving everything outside was not a problem.

Yuwen Guangxu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I think the waiter is right. This tea house is a long-established brand, always honest and never cheating customers!"

Yuwen Chengji nodded and said, "I agree. It should be a scheme among competitors, trying to ruin its reputation."

Speaking of which, Yuwen Chengji looked at Ye Cangtian and continued, "What do you think?"

Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then said, "My opinion is different from yours."

"Heh, you think there's a problem with the tea at the tea house?"

"We've already said it's a long-established brand, it's impossible for them to cheat people..."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Chengji let out a cold laugh, but before he could finish, Ye Cangtian interrupted him with a wave.

"I'm not saying there's a problem with the tea. In fact, their tea is perfectly fine."

"And the anger of these two customers is not fake, so deliberate disruption is impossible."

Ye Cangtian looked at the two and smiled as he spoke, "They are going to the Hidden Bureau to seek justice. Since we are here, let's go and take a look."

"Alright!"

Yuwen Chengji responded and then said, "If it's as you say, I'll treat you to a big meal! If we are right, you pay for the tea yourself!"

"No problem."

Ye Cangtian smiled and nodded. It was just a small bet, so he did it for fun and did not refuse.

With that, the three of them got up and left the room.

At this moment, the two groups of customers in the main hall had already drawn their swords and were staring fiercely at the waiter in front of them.

In their eyes, this was a black shop.

Now that they had caught them red-handed but they refused to admit it, there was nothing they could do but resort to force to resolve everything.

"Heh, everyone, this is a public place, don't be agitated. Harmony brings wealth..."

A voice came, and everyone in the hall looked at the three figures.

One of them frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then said, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who they are. Do you recognize them?"

Ye Cangtian had disguised himself when he left the Yuwen family mansion, fearing that others would see him and cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, his identity was probably known to everyone, and the Swift Wind Tower must have hated him to the bone, so it was normal that they couldn't recognize his disguised identity.

The two customers followed Ye Cangtian's gaze to Yuwen Guangxu and Yuwen Chengji, but their faces showed confusion the next moment.

It was the waiter nearby who recognized the two and said, "These two are the proud sons of the Yuwen family, Yuwen Guangxu and Yuwen Chengji, and they are also important figures of the Hidden Bureau!"

When the waiter said this, the hostility of the two customers subsided somewhat.

Although they didn't recognize the Yuwen brothers, they were not unfamiliar with the Hidden Bureau. Since they were in charge here, how could they dare to mess around in front of them.

The next moment, one of the customers cupped his fists and bowed, "Since you are from the Hidden Bureau, please judge for us."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Chengji directly took the tea of the two groups of customers, then handed it to Guangxu and Ye Cangtian, and then passed it to some of the guests.

The tea was still steaming slightly, emitting a faint aroma. One could tell it was top-quality tea without tasting it.

Seeing that everyone had no unusual reactions, Yuwen Chengji said, "Is it your noses and mouths that have a problem? Everyone present can testify that the tea in the cup is indeed high-quality tea!"

With that statement, some of the onlookers nodded and agreed.

The two groups of customers exchanged glances, and their brows furrowed.

It was said that the two from the Yuwen family had some prestige in Jinling. If they called a deer a horse, there would definitely be people who would cooperate.

But the problem was, it was just a few cups of tea and some small dishes, how much money could they be worth? Was it worth calling a deer a horse and playing tricks for these things?

Thinking of this, one of the troublemakers directly took out a crystal from his Qiankun Bag and said, "Consider me unlucky. Here's the tea money, goodbye!"

The other customer, feeling somewhat unconvinced, was contemplating how to refute the other when Ye Cangtian stepped forward.

Ye Cangtian looked at him and said lightly, "I know you're very unconvinced, but this really isn't a problem with the tea. It should be a problem with your taste and smell."

"Impossible!"

"My mouth has tasted all the delicacies in the world, and my nose is exceptionally sensitive. If I hadn't smelled a tea aroma from outside just now, I wouldn't have come here at all!"

The customer looked at Ye Cangtian and said indignantly.

He just wanted to tell the other person that, let alone anything else, his sense of smell was normal just now, why was it abnormal now?

Even if his taste and smell were faulty, it was inseparable from the tea house.

After all, they had only drunk some tea and eaten some small snacks in the tea house during that time.

Therefore, they had the right to suspect that the tea house had tampered with the tea and snacks.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then said, "We'll know the truth by investigating step by step."

After speaking, Ye Cangtian signaled Yuwen Guangxu to go back and invite a physician.

Then, while waiting for that time, he looked at the other party and said, "The physician will take some time to arrive, let's try your taste and smell first."

The man nodded. He didn't believe his taste and smell had problems, so this was good, as it could prove it directly.

Thinking about it, he cooperated with Ye Cangtian and had his eyes covered.

On the other side, Ye Cangtian signaled the waiter to brew three cups of different teas and place them on the table.

Then, Ye Cangtian invited the man to taste them one by one.

"Hmm... This first cup should be pure hot water!"

"Hmm? The second cup is also hot water!"

"Damn it, what are you doing? Bringing three cups of hot water, how can this test my taste and smell!"

When the man tasted the third cup of tea, he suddenly became agitated.

He snatched off the blindfold and saw the three cups of tea in front of him, at which point he was stunned.

Judging by the color of the three cups, they should be green tea, black tea, and jasmine.

But he hadn't smelled any aroma or tasted any flavor just now!

There were only two possibilities: either he had inexplicably lost his sense of taste and smell, or the tea had been tampered with, making it tasteless.

But then again, with so many people watching, they also had noses. If the tea house pulled such a trick, they would surely be exposed.

Thinking of this, the man looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "It seems there is a problem with my taste and smell. Now I have the right to suspect that the tea house has poisoned us!"

Upon mentioning poisoning.

Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed. Could it be that the Swift Wind Tower had made a move?

He had heard from Yi Feipeng before that Wan Mingxuan had ties with the Five Poisons Sect, so if they were to deal with the Hidden Bureau, they might cooperate with the Five Poisons Sect!

But at the same time, he had another question: if the Five Poisons Sect made a move, why would they target these innocent people?

Perhaps they wanted to use them to force the Hidden Bureau to submit and agree to certain conditions?

While pondering in his mind, Ye Cangtian said outwardly, "Don't rush, the physician should be on his way. Once he arrives, everything will be clear!"
