The central academic building covered a large area with four entrances from various directions.
Zhang Zian and Old Time Tea both walked around the building and confirmed that the Elfin wasn’t there before they entered the building.

The ground floor was busy.
The shiny marble floor was reflecting everything above it.
Looking up, the high ceiling could make people dizzy.
Four elevators and an extra one for teachers were all full.
Many students were waiting to get on the next ride.

Although he didn’t want to get in the crowded elevator, climbing up the stairs sounded less attractive.
Zhang Zian decided to take the elevator and take the stairs down one floor at a time.

He squatted down and said, ”Grandma Tea, let’s take the elevator.
Jump up to my shoulder so it will be more comfortable for you. ”
Looking at the seriously cramped elevator, Old Time Tea smiled and jumped up on Zhang’s shoulder.

Feeling the weight on one side of his shoulder, Zhang Zian supported himself with one hand on the ground.

Old Time Tea was quite heavy.

”Grandma Tea, you have to stay put.
I am getting up now, ” he reminded Old Time Tea and then raised himself up.

Old Time Tea securely landed on his shoulder with its four paws.

The door of the elevator opened.
Zhang Zian followed the flow to enter the elevator.
Everyone was trying to get in until it was absolutely full.

Old Time Tea was doing great.
No matter how he was pushed and pressed by others, Old Time Tea always remained balanced on his shoulder.

Zhang Zian took a look at the buttons.
Someone already pressed the button for the top floor so all he needed to do was to wait until he was there.

The elevator stopped at almost every floor.
Some people got off and some came in.
In general, more people got out than got in.
Therefore, there was more and more room as the elevator went up.

The elevator arrived at the top floor.

There weren’t any classrooms on the top floor.
It was an observatory.
Surprisingly, there were many young couples hanging out up here.
They were hugging each other, speaking softly and laughing loudly.

Zhang Zian felt uncomfortable as soon as he got out of the elevator.
Old Time Tea jumped down from his shoulder and walked around the observatory with him.
Zhang Zian was the only single guy up there.
”Look, Grandma Tea.
Isn’t that Mt.
Hidden Fog? ”
Coming to a corner, Zhang Zian looked out from the glass wall and saw a small mountain.
He remembered seeing Binhai University from Mt.
Hidden Fog, so it was not surprising that he could see Mt.
Hidden Fog from here.
It was a nice day with barely any clouds in the sky.
The visibility was extremely high.
He could see the peak of the mountain.
It was too bad he didn’t bring his binoculars, otherwise he might have been able to see the Hidden Fog Teahouse.

He was wondering if the two ladies in the teahouse were still in their RPG game.
Old Time Tea tried his best to look that way and said, ”If you think that is Mt.
Hidden Fog, you should be right. ”
Zhang Zian suddenly realized that cats couldn’t see as well as humans during the day.
It was normal that Old Time Tea couldn’t see it.

However, he also thought of something really important!
”Grandma Tea, the teahouse owner’s last name is Ye… Is she… ”
Zhang Zian had already forgotten what the owner and waitress looked like.
Maybe it would strike a chord when he saw them again.
He remembered that the teahouse owner’s last name was Ye and the waitress’s name was Anxin.
Those were normal Chinese names.
Now that he was looking over at Mt.
Hidden Fog from the university and thinking about Old Time Tea’s real name and history, he realized that the owner, Miss Ye, might be someone special…
Old Time Tea laughed, ”Well, I am not sure either.
I just think she smells very familiar.
Maybe she and my previous owner were relatives. ”
Immediately, Zhang Zian felt bad about capturing Old Time Tea.
Old Time Tea coming to the Hidden Fog Teahouse was not merely because of the good tea there.
There were numerous teahouses in the city and many were even better.
Even if Old Time Tea came to Binhai City because of Xinghai’s power, she could’ve been to any teahouse.
Apparently, she went to Hidden Fog Teahouse because of the female owner!

He now thought that Old Time Tea sitting by the fireplace was, in fact, to protect the two ladies… He had captured her and taken her away!
At this time, there was a mixed feeling in Zhang Zian’s heart.
He started to regret everything that came to his mind.
If he would’ve stayed home, he wouldn’t have come up here and seen Mt.
Hidden Fog…
If he would’ve given up the thought of capturing the fourth Elfin, he would be in the store, playing hide and seek with Xinghai, being despised by Fina and refilling tea for Old Time Tea.

After spending some time with Old Time Tea, he began to really admire her.
Old Time Tea was a Kung Fu master and easy to get along with.
He loved Old Time Tea and also needed her protection.
However, the two ladies might’ve needed her more than him.
She had come to protect them!
Zhang Zian came to capture an unknown Efin, yet got himself caught between this rock and a hard place where he might have to let Old Time Tea go.

Now that he knew the reason Old Time Tea came to Binhai, he could not pretend that he didn’t know.

”Grandma Tea, if you want to go back to them… ”
He squatted down and looked Old Time Tea deep in the eye.
Sometimes, letting go is also a form of love.
Now that Old Time Tea was unlocked, she could go wherever she wanted to be.
Therefore, Zhang Zian gave her the freedom of this choice.
He would respect Old Time Tea no matter what her decision was.
Although sad, he believed that this was the right thing to do.

Staring at Zhang Zian, Old Time Tea giggled with her beard shaking, ”I’m fine. ”
Zhang Zian couldn’t believe his ears.
Even though that was what he was hoping for, he still was confused.

Old Time Tea said peacefully, ”When I saw them, I thought it could be dangerous on top of the mountain.
However… ”
”What? ” He asked curiously. ”
”If I was right, Ms.
Ye is pretty good at martial arts, ” Old Time Tea replied, ”I could tell from the way she walks and stands.
A normal person can’t do that.
She practiced for at least 10 years.
That waitress Anxin also was good.
The TV shows were not even comparable. ”
What a surprise!
Zhang Zian wouldn’t challenge Old Time Tea’s judgement.
If she said they knew Kung Fu, they should.
He remembered telling Snowy that if two ladies opened a teahouse at the top of a mountain, they had to have a special bodyguard somewhere.
He never would’ve thought that they were Kung Fu masters!
