Chapter 154 A magnificent ancestral temple, built by a virtuous man.
Huali: "?" Young Master's heart is as unfathomable as the sea.
Without investigating further, Karin looked at the bright, warm sun in the courtyard and wondered, "Have we arrived directly before the start of the second act?"
Shen Yu turned her head, deliberately keeping her distance from Hua Li, "Look at the peony in the corner."
Huali then realized that the peony, which had been just a tender bud when the rain fell, was now in full bloom, indicating that at least a month had passed.
Sure enough, the next second, footsteps came from outside the door, one after the other.
As the door opened, Tingyu, dressed in a plain white dress, nodded to the person outside, "We've arrived. Thank you very much, Young Master Feng, for teaching me swordsmanship today."
“Miss Tingyu, please don’t be so polite. If it’s not presumptuous, you can call me by my name.” Feng Yi explained, “Yi Yi Qinmiao, the Yi in the gentleman’s work.”
“Feng Yi.” Tingyu nodded, her smile deepening. “Then you can call me Tingyu.”
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Feng Yi slowly left.
The moment Tingyu turned her head, she was met with two gossipy faces, one human and one cat. "When did Sister Tingyu become so familiar with Young Master Feng? Tell us more."
A hint of shyness flashed in Tingyu's eyes. "After our encounter in the rain last month, my demon-catching missions at the Immortal Palace have intersected with his, and before long, things..."
"Did Sister Tingyu know Young Master Feng before?"
Tingyu nodded. "Ten years ago, our village was attacked by a succubus, and I was captured by it. Just as I was about to die, a sword light pierced through the air and saved me."
"It is Young Master Feng."
“At that time, I was just a mortal with no spiritual power, while Feng Yi was an immortal who was like a cloud supporting the moon.” A look of nostalgia flashed in her eyes. “I mustered up my courage and asked him if I could come to find him if I could go to the immortal mountain one day.”
Tingyu still remembers his answer. He didn't look down on her because she was a woman who couldn't even kill a chicken, nor did he laugh at her for overestimating herself. He simply nodded seriously and replied with a single word, "Okay."
It was this one word that drove her to search every immortal sect to no avail, and she never gave up, even when she was battered and bruised.
Huali understood; so this was the cause and effect.
“A few days ago, I was chasing after a demonic beast and almost lost, but Feng Yi saved me. He said he would teach me a sword technique. I'm afraid I'll be practicing with him for the next few days.” Tingyu looked at Huali and Shenyu, “I'm giving you two a break. Go out and have some fun for a few days.”
"Wow! Sister Tingyu is so kind." Huali quickly offered emotional support to her boss.
Although she slacked off every day when Tingyu wasn't around, a boss who voluntarily gives employees time off is a good boss!

In the floating city, the eaves and vermilion railings are wrapped with light gauze and colorful silk, which surge like clouds when the wind blows.
As Huali walked along, she noticed that important street corners and pavilions were connected by a net woven with silver threads. The net was densely covered with glass wind chimes and various colorful prayer charms.
A gentle breeze blows, producing a clear, melodious sound like shattered jade.
In her left hand she held an open oil paper package containing golden-brown roasted quail. In her right hand she held a honey-coated twisted dough stick covered in sesame seeds, her cheeks bulging as she continued her search for her next target.
Rongxing, who was next to her, was also chewing on crisp lotus root, her mouth full.
Ao Bai looked at this and then that, then gulped down the whole sesame ball and sighed, "What kind of behavior is this? It has to be Shen Yu, Young Master never does this..."
Shen Yu's buns were the size of a fist, and she could eat one in two bites.
Ao Bai: "..." Tsk, young master has become too rough.
Like "Meeting in the Rain," the second act, "Nighttime Storytelling with Lanterns," will still have to wait for the right opportunity to unfold.
Having learned from their first experience, all three understood that rushing wouldn't help.
People should work hard when they need to work, but they shouldn't make themselves suffer when they need to relax.
This secret realm is so delicious you won't gain weight no matter what you eat, so why not take advantage of it now?
Rong Xing swallowed what was in his mouth. "I just inquired and found out that tomorrow is the annual Lantern Festival, which may be the time when the second act begins."
"We need to find a way to get both of them out at the same time and create a romantic encounter."
Hua Li nodded, "Listening to the rain is easy, but I haven't had much contact with Feng Yi. Have you found out anything while you've been at the manor for so long?"
Rong Xing spread his hands, “The Feng Mansion is heavily guarded. The main courtyard where Feng Yi is located is surrounded by a double barrier. I was afraid of being discovered if I forced my way in, so I could only peek from the outside. Feng Yi is a ruthless person. He practices swordsmanship during the day and halberds at night. He hardly has any rest time.”
He took a bite of the crispy biscuit. "I heard from the butler that there have been a lot more monsters recently. I guess that's the reason."
"Dual cultivation of sword and halberd?" Shen Yu became somewhat interested.
“I think so,” Rongxing scratched his head. “In short, he’s a good person and not harsh on his servants.”
Karin wondered, "Looking at them both, they seem like good people, and they have a friendship from ten years ago, so why did they end up with a bad ending?"
"What contempt?"
It means that we missed each other.
Rong Xing nodded, about to speak, but her gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on the black figure in front of her. "Eh? Feng Yi?"
The other person, dressed in black, walked through the crowd and, seemingly sensing being watched, looked over with extreme keenness.
Rong Xing immediately waved to him, "Young Master!"
Feng Yi was slightly taken aback. His gaze swept over Hua Li and Shen Yu, and after nodding to Rong Xing, he quickly disappeared.
Hua Li asked in surprise, "Didn't Ting Yu go to practice swordsmanship with him early this morning? How come we run into each other here again?"
A hint of suspicion flashed in Shen Yu's amber eyes.
Having grown up in a military camp, he possesses an almost obsessive understanding of human physique and physical characteristics.
When Chenxi Fengyi came to pick Tingyu up, his shoulders and back were tense like a drawn bow, but at this moment, most of that imposing aura had disappeared.
Why can a person's posture and aura be so different?

Huali hadn't figured out how to persuade Tingyu to participate in the lantern festival, but unexpectedly, this person became one on their own.
"I made plans with Fengyi to go to the Lantern Festival together tomorrow." Tingyu was unusually shy. "Huali, what do you think I should wear?"
Huali beamed with joy after solving a major problem. "Leave it to me." Having been here for so long, she was no longer the greenhorn who only knew how to tie her hair in a ponytail.
"I guarantee that when Young Master Feng sees you tomorrow, he will be amazed by your beauty."
A blush crept onto Tingyu's face. "You're talking nonsense again."
Huali was genuinely happy for Tingyu.
Although what happened a thousand years ago was already predetermined, at least this time, in this secret realm, a good ending is still a good thing.
"Did you go to the street this afternoon?" Hua Li asked casually. "Shen Yu and I only saw Young Master Feng, not you."
Tingyu chuckled, "How could that be? He was teaching me swordsmanship at that time."
Huali paused, about to speak, when Tingyu suddenly said, "But he did leave the meeting midway through, could it be then?"
"That's right, I knew I couldn't be wrong."
