After eating breakfast, Chu Feng suggested that they go out to play. The two old men nodded in tacit agreement.

Hearing this, the old prince sent his steward out to accompany him.

Chu Feng brought the girl out of the room and couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"

After hearing the question, the girl raised her head and looked at Chu Feng. Her red lips slightly perked up and with a clear voice, she said, "My name is He Xiang."

After hearing the girl's concise reply, Chu Feng nodded and did not ask any more questions.

The two of them walked on the street and looked around. The butler in front of them continued to introduce them to the sights of the capital.

Hearing the legendary introduction, the girl became excited as she looked around at the people walking past.

When Chu Feng saw the appearance of that little girl, he also felt joy in his heart. The two of them continued to wander around the house like two housekeepers ? It was noon when the butler led them to the inn.

Since he still had a lot of places to play in the afternoon, he wouldn't go back to the mansion for lunch.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of an inn.

After getting off the carriage, Chu Feng raised his head and looked at the restaurant. There were some familiar signboard and similarly, vermilion big words: Tianfeng Inn.

At this moment, Zi Feng couldn't help but think of the last lunch he had with his father.

At this moment, upon seeing those familiar words, Chu Feng's heart sank. In his mind, he couldn't help but think about how he was doing in the distance. It had been a year. His father had already left him for a year ? The girl also quickly followed Chu Feng out of the carriage. As she looked at the imposing tavern, she was a bit surprised. She had never seen such a large inn before, and her eyes flickered with excitement.

Butler saw that the two children were in different states so he was puzzled. Why does the little boy look a little upset? However, after being stunned for a moment, the butler recovered and called them into the inn.

In a corner on the first floor of the tavern, an old man who wore a very ordinary azure robe was drinking the Jade Orchid Fragrance. His intoxicated appearance uncontrollably caused Chu Feng's gaze to stay on him for a moment.

At this time, the shopkeeper saw the butler from the Wang Mansion and came over to greet him.

"Housekeeper Liu, how are you free today? This old man has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time!" As he said that, the fat middle-aged man's voice came out from the shopkeeper's mouth. "

Chu Feng also saw that Housekeeper Liu was a regular customer here and his relationship with the manager seemed to be quite good. So, he said, "Manager, bring us to the Fragrant Wind Pavilion."

Only then did the shopkeeper notice the two children by Housekeeper Liu's side. He could not help but look at him with a puzzled look.

Housekeeper Liu smiled and said, "These are the distinguished guests of the Prince's Mansion, I will accompany them out for some fun today."

When the shopkeeper heard Housekeeper Liu's explanation, he became somewhat respectful. But when he remembered that there was already someone from the Scented Wind Pavilion, he didn't know how to reply.

Housekeeper Liu seemed to notice the shopkeeper's predicament and asked: "What's wrong, is there a problem with the Fragrant Wind Pavilion?"

After hearing the butler's question, the manager embarrassedly said to Chu Feng, "Young master, can you change rooms? The Fragrant Wind Pavilion has already arranged people."

Housekeeper Liu couldn't help but feel a bit angry when he heard the shopkeeper's reply. As far as he was concerned, the prince's mansion was actually not even going to have a room for the esteemed guests today, so he felt that it was rather shameful not to be alarmed.

Just as Housekeeper Liu was about to open his mouth, he said: "Take those to another room."

However, Chu Feng already took a step forward and said, "Since there's someone here, let's sit downstairs!"

After saying those words, Chu Feng pointed to a corner on the first floor and walked over there.

That table happened to be facing the green-robed elder. As Chu Feng looked at him, he couldn't help but feel that the azure-cloaked old man was very different from the others. He had an indescribable feeling of transcendence.

That made Chu Feng feel very strange. He already felt that when Chu Feng stepped into the Tianfeng Inn.

So, after hearing about the people from the Fragrant Sky Pavilion, Chu Feng chose to sit in front of the old man.

After a while, a table full of dishes was served.

Chu Feng looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar dishes and his heart couldn't help but shake a bit. The tender flesh on his face couldn't help but be pulled out and his eyes became a bit sharp.

The green-robed old man who was drinking the Jade Orchid Fragrance couldn't help but have a smile on his face and he looked a bit playfully at Chu Feng's stubborn face.

As he looked at the familiar delicacies, his father's figure unknowingly appeared in Chu Feng's mind. Instantly, it caused Chu Feng to feel a bit despondent and all sorts of thoughts surged into his heart.

Seeing Chu Feng's dejected expression, the butler and the girl were a bit confused.

Where did this young master get so many injuries? What kind of memories did he have about this restaurant?

In the silence, the two of them looked at Chu Feng at the same time, hoping to know something from him.

But, Chu Feng couldn't help laughing at himself as he looked at the familiar dishes. Quickly after, he lowered his head and ate the familiar and unfamiliar delicacies. Although the food was still delicious, Chu Feng could not taste anything.

Seeing this scene, the girl was slightly surprised.

She had always believed that boys had the highest status and must be loved by all. However, after seeing Chu Feng's sad expression, he couldn't help but feel that everything seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

Why did this boy have such an aged face and sharp eyes? All of these things did not match his age.

What unknown story was there in him?

Could it be that his childhood was not as blissful and blissful as he had imagined?

All sorts of speculations appeared in the girl's mind.

As he ate and ate, Chu Feng's memories seemed to have returned to that day.

A familiar voice could not help but echo in his ears, "Daddy, why aren't you eating? If you don't eat now, I'll finish it."

Even now, he could still feel the warmth of his father's hand on his shoulder.

Zi Feng put down his chopsticks. His complexion was somewhat ancient, and he looked somewhat haggard.

He couldn't help but take out the dragon-shaped jade pendant from his chest. He looked at it, touched it, then placed it back on his chest.

Ever since father took him to the Heavenly Wind Inn, father gave this jade pendant to you, Chu Feng. Furthermore, she instructed him that he must be kept in good condition.

Chu Feng still vaguely remembered his father's expression of importance towards the jade ornament. Although he did not know the use of the jade ornament, Chu Feng was still a close carry-on.

Actually, to Chu Mingfan, the most important part of the jade ornament was the reason why his master left it to him. It was just that Chu Feng did not know about it.

Time quietly passed. Soon, the meal was over.

Chu Feng walked out of the Tianfeng Inn with a bit of reluctance and a bit of yearning.

Before he left, he went to visit the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.

The Fragrant Sky Pavilion was the same as the one he had had a meal with his father. The furnishings inside were exactly the same as what he remembered.

In that room, Chu Feng recalled all the beautiful things he had seen and no longer cared about all the things that troubled him.

But the girl and the butler were confused by Chu Feng's strange actions.

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Chu Feng did not explain anything to them because that memory was mixed with bitterness and pain.

"Young master Chu, young miss Chu, are we going to go to the Ming King Spring first? Or should I go to the Dreamy Cloud Temple first? Housekeeper Liu kindly asked them.

Hearing those words, Mu Xiang couldn't help but look towards Chu Feng, implying: "You decide!"

Chu Feng raised his head and said to Housekeeper Liu, "Let's go to the Dreamy Rain Temple first!"

Hearing this, Housekeeper Liu had a plan. He was no longer as blind as he was in the morning.

Now that he had a destination, everything was easy to settle. In the morning, in order to curry favor with them, he brought them to the bustling streets of the capital. However, the two young ancestors didn't seem to be that happy.

At the dinner table, Housekeeper Liu had already introduced them to some of the places they would go next. Now that they were given the choice, even if it wasn't fun, they couldn't blame themselves.

The carriage ran out of the city on the main road, and the breeze on its face was refreshing and pleasant.

At this moment, all the unhappy memories of the past were forgotten. The two children felt completely relaxed. It was as if all that had happened in the past had been cleansed, no longer heart-piercing.

"Look, the peach blossoms are blooming there." Chu Feng excitedly said to the girl.

The girl raised her head, looked around, and excitedly chatted with Chu Feng.

The housekeeper looked at the excited expression on the child's face and was confused. How could these two kids like this backwater place? Could the bustling streets not compare to these failed peach trees? This made Housekeeper Liu feel very depressed.

Actually, it wasn't that the bustling streets were unattractive. Rather, for the two children who had unbearably memories of their childhood, the moving stream of people felt somewhat stifled.

They all had such worries in their hearts that it was difficult for them to blend into the bustling streets and markets.

The boy was concerned about the wandering father, the girl was concerned about her parents at home, and the village had to be said to be a good choice for the two who had all sorts of problems. Here, they could temporarily put aside their worries and get closer to the beauty of life.

Dong, dong, dong. The sound of bells ringing rang out from the mountain range in the distance.

The horse carriage walked up the mountain road, and it was rather bumpy. Chu Feng and Wu Xiang, who were riding on the horse carriage, swayed left and right while following the horse carriage.

When Chu Feng saw that scene, he said to the girl, "Let's get off the car and go!"

The girl agreed.

Seeing the girl nod, Chu Feng opened the door and yelled outside, "Housekeeper Liu, stop the car."

When Housekeeper Liu heard the sound of wind, he became nervous. It was probably because this uneven mountain road made him unhappy ? Inwardly, he could not help but say with resentment, "The City Road Bureau collects a lot of road maintenance fees every year. Why is the road not touched at all? Tell the lord about it when you get home."

Steward Liu opened the door and said to Chu Feng, "Young master Chu, this mountain road is not very smooth. You've been harmed."

After hearing those words, Chu Feng smiled and said to Manager Liu, "Let's get off the car and leave! The road is difficult, the cars are in trouble, and the people are in pain. "

As he spoke, Chu Feng got off the carriage. The girl, Lu Xiang, also followed Chu Feng down the carriage.

Seeing that scene, he felt too embarrassed to ride on the horse. He led the horse and followed behind Chu Feng.

"Housekeeper Liu, is there a place to live in the temple?" Chu Feng asked.

Housekeeper Liu agreed, indicating that there was a guest room in the temple.

Hearing this response, Chu Feng continued to say, "In that case, let's not go back tonight. It's not easy to walk on this mountain road. Let the coachman go back first! Tell him to wait for us at the foot of the mountain at noon tomorrow. "

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Housekeeper Liu was a bit confused. This child had a wide room with a soft pillow and did not sleep. Why did he like to come to this abject thatched hut?

After a long time, they reached the peak of the mountain.

Housekeeper Liu was extremely tired. He resented the fact that these two little guys were not playing with people. What were they up to?

However, although Chu Feng and Aroma were a bit tired, they were currently extremely excited.

Housekeeper Liu remembered that along the way, the two children would talk excitedly about the crooked tree. They didn't feel tired at all.

This almost made Housekeeper Liu, who was following behind them, depressed. He kept asking himself if he was really old and if he should retire ? Then, Housekeeper Liu could not help but feel envious of the youth. It was so good to be young.

Chu Feng walked towards the temple. It was a bit deserted here.

There were no sounds of people coming and going. There was no restlessness in his heart. There was no pain from the past.

After taking in a deep breath, some of the spice in the air became even more refreshing. It made one's heart feel abnormally fresh and fresh, as if their entire being had undergone a metamorphosis.

"Let's go burn some incense!" Chu Feng said to the girl.

The girl replied and followed Chu Feng.

In fact, when she had just set foot on this mountain, she had been praying for her family to be fine and to reunite with them as soon as possible.

Although she was now considered as the young miss of the Chu Clan, she didn't know how to express her worries. She had always felt that she was an outsider, an outsider.

She didn't know what to say, much less who to say it to.

She asked herself, "A boy?" However, he rejected it in his heart. The boy might be good to him, but... The girl was unable to find someone to talk about in that house.

Therefore, when the boy decided to burn the incense, she made a silent promise in her heart, hoping that she would be able to speak her mind in front of Buddha.

It had been almost five years since he left home. How was the girl? Was his father still so mighty? Is my mother's asthma better? What happened to the kitten?

On the way here, although she was chatting and laughing with Chu Feng, her mind was still filled with thoughts of their long-separated home.

The temple was empty. Not a single person could be seen.

However, there was a monk sweeping the courtyard clean.

Beside him, Housekeeper Liu smiled and said: "People only come here on the fifteenth day of the first month. Normally, very few people come here and there are only two monks. Look at that old monk sweeping the floor. I'm guessing that little monk is cooking!"

With that, Housekeeper Liu paused for a moment before continuing, "I heard that the old monk has been sweeping the courtyard for decades. Whether it's the scorching sun or the winter, the old monk will continue to sweep the courtyard."

After hearing Housekeeper Liu's words, Chu Feng's expression couldn't help but become even more confused. Dozens of years passed like a single day. How much willpower did that need!?

As he looked at the old man who swept the ground, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh and ask, "What kind of story does that old man have?" This made Chu Feng curious.

After a short moment, Chu Feng asked Manager Liu, "Is it possible that no one knows what he did all these for?"

Housekeeper Liu shook his head and said helplessly, "No one knows, but there is a legend that two hundred years ago, this old man became a monk and from now on, he will no longer be leaving this place."

"Legend? Is it about the old man? " After hearing Manager Liu's words, Chu Feng looked at the old monk who was sweeping the floor with even more suspicion. He muttered in his heart and asked, "What sort of history does this old man have behind him?"
