Chapter 196 The President of Sommerville Tea Study Association
Amanda lacked the calm composure of a true scholar. As she listened to Melody’s words, she felt as though her weakness had been exposed.
Wasn’t Melody hinting that her “Seven Tea Pouring Method” wasn’t legitimate or orthodox?
Unable to resist, Amanda stood up, eager to speak.
“Melody, are you admitting that the ‘Seven Tea Pouring Method‘ is something you made up and not part of traditional tea art?
“If that’s the case, like my grandfather, I refuse to recognize your unorthodox tea skills.
“Even if your tea is excellent, it can’t compete with the centuries–old traditions of orthodox tea art!”
Melody looked at Amanda with a slight smile, knowing that a bit of provocation would reveal her true character.
Yet, she had no intention of stopping her.
With a relaxed demeanor, Melody lazily scanned the room and smiled, “Ms. Jenson, why the rush?
“Who said the ‘Seven Tea Pouring Method‘ isn’t part of traditional tea art?
“I was just speaking casually earlier. The ‘Seven Tea Pouring Method‘ was never truly lost–it’s just that fewer people know and can fully master it.
“There’s a complete record of it in a book compiled by the president of the Sommerville Tea Study Association.
“Books are vessels of knowledge, just like people.
“And ignorance comes from not reading enough of them.”
Melody chuckled softly, her gaze settling on an older man sitting quietly at the edge of the tea table.
With a respectful bow, she said, “Professor Tawney, would you say my understanding of the ‘Seven Tea Pouring Method‘ is accurate?”
The elderly man had been quietly brewing tea on his own, rarely interacting with others at the tea banquets.
Over time, people had almost forgotten he was even there.
Now, he had been called out by the young girl.
Professor Tawney laughed warmly as he stood, looking at Melody with an impressed expression.

Everyone thought to themselves, Does the head of the Moore family have no shame?
Despite his age, Professor Tawney was full of energy as he approached the tea table where Melody sat.
“Everyone, the ‘Seven Tea Pouring Method‘ has never been lost entirely. Its incomplete inheritance has long been a regret in our country’s tea culture,” he said,
“I want to thank Melody for bringing this fading tea art back into public view through her live stream.”
As Professor Tawney spoke, a sigh escaped him.
“I’m old, but the Tea Study Association can’t afford to grow old with me…
The promotion of traditional culture is not something one or two people can accomplish alone–it requires public interest and a deeper appreciation from more people.
At that moment, countless young viewers watching the livestream felt something stir within them.
Though faint, a sense of cultural pride was beginning to grow and spread.
Old Mr. Jenson’s expression became even more uncomfortable. “M–Mr. Tawney?”
“The ‘Seven Tea Pouring Method‘ is actually orthodox tea art!”
Professor Tawney frowned slightly, replying solemnly, “Yes, it was popular during the Aetherian empire, but because its techniques are so intricate and demanding, very few people were able to fully master it.
“Over time, simpler, more practical methods became preferred.
“That’s the tea art Old Mr. Jenson respects as orthodox.
Each word landed like an invisible slap on Old Mr. Jenson’s face.
Amanda, having lost all face for her family, no longer dared to look up.
She kept her eyes lowered, fists clenched tightly, seething with anger.
Melody, since you’re determined to oppose me, I’ll never let you off.
Amanda recalled the day she had returned to the country. She visited the detention center and made a deal with Suzanna, who revealed that Melody was allergic to mangoes and vanilla…
