In the rows of halls.
Under the eaves, an old man and a young boy were taking a leisurely stroll.
It was as if they knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.
The old man was dressed simply, and always had a kind and friendly smile on his face.
The girl was dressed in red, with a beautiful face and outstanding temperament.
"I never expected that the Feng family would send you, Miss Feng, to take care of this old man!"
Pang Wensheng said with a smile.
Feng Hongye shook her head. "My dad and grandpa don't know I'm here!"
"Oh?" Pang Wensheng was slightly surprised.
However, he then nodded.
According to the rules of the Divine Bloodline, they do not concern themselves with or interfere in internal affairs.
He was a little surprised.
Now that Feng Hongye has said that, he understands.
"Then I wonder why Miss San came here? Come to think of it, we've only met two or three times, so we can't really be considered friends, can we?" Pang Wensheng said half-jokingly.
Feng Hongye nodded, "Indeed, we don't have any real relationship. I was just doing what someone asked me to do!"
Pang Wensheng frowned. "Who is the Third Miss referring to? Could it be Lin Yu?"
He knew something about Lin Yu and Feng Hongye's affair.
If this is Lin Yu's backup plan, then it makes sense.
Feng Hongye shook her head, looking resentful, and said, "We're not related by blood, and he ignores me. Why should I do anything for him?"
There was a hint of resentment in his words.
Pang Wensheng paused for a moment, then couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
"The love between young people is truly enviable!"
He shook his head, didn't ask any further questions, and continued walking along the corridor with his hands behind his back.
The Forbidden City's architectural design is ingenious. Outside, the wind howls, but once you enter the corridors, the wind stops and the sound becomes quiet, as if you were in two different worlds.
Feng Hongye caught up with them, and before they knew it, the two arrived at a grand hall.
Upright and honorable.
The four characters on the golden plaque gleamed brightly.
“This plaque is hundreds of years old! It hasn’t changed a bit!” Feng Hongye exclaimed. “When I was a child, I would come here every winter solstice. About ten minutes before and after the start of winter, the sunlight would shine perfectly on this golden plaque, without fail!”
Pang Wensheng nodded, "This is the way of Heaven, and the law of cause and effect, it's absolutely correct!"
"Do you believe in cause and effect?" Feng Hongye asked.
"Of course, how could any Chinese descendant not believe in cause and effect!"
"I don't believe that good people are necessarily rewarded!"
"Otherwise, you have to look at cause and effect over a long period of time, ten, twenty, or thirty years. Just like the great China that has developed to where it is today, it's all due to cause and effect, it's all an ironclad law!"
"Hehe, what you're saying sounds just like something an old man would say!" Feng Hongye said.
Pang Wensheng was slightly taken aback. "Actually, I heard this from someone when I was young!"
Feng Hongye frowned, then smiled and said, "Could it be that old blind man from the South Gate as well?"
"Hehe?" Pang Wensheng exchanged a glance with her, then shook his head and chuckled.
The two immediately understood each other without saying a word.
"So the person you entrusted with this matter is that senior!"
"A senior? Is he very old?" Feng Hongye asked curiously.
"Let me think about it!"
Pang Wensheng frowned and said, "When I was in my thirties, I first saw him, and he looked exactly the same. When I was in my fifties, I saw him again, and he still looked the same. Although I haven't seen him for many years, I think he hasn't changed much! Time seems to leave no trace on him!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Feng Hongye frowned deeply and gritted her teeth, saying, "Well, this old guy is indeed a hidden master. I thought he was just a fortune teller, but I didn't expect him to be a hidden expert!"
How old is she?
In her early twenties!
She first met the old blind man when she was twelve or thirteen years old.
It's difficult to measure a person's age in ten years.
"Liar, liar, big liar!"
Seemingly recalling some unpleasant past events, Feng Hongye began to angrily curse.
"Did I swindle a lot of your money?" Pang Wensheng asked with a smile.
Feng Hongye snorted, "He'll lie about anything he has. The first time I secretly ran away from home, I only had five yuan in my pocket. I bought a candied hawthorn, which was my food for the whole day, and he swindled it all away!"
"The second time, he told me there was a tomb in the Western Hills with treasure inside, and he cheated me out of three ingots of gold!"
"And then what? No gold?"
"..."
"You don't know about Xishan Cemetery, do you? All they unearthed were broken copper and tiles. I spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to develop it back then, but there was nothing of value. All I got was a small red flag. Isn't that infuriating!"
Seeing the girl's indignant expression, Pang Wensheng couldn't help but find it amusing. "So, is there a third time?"
"The third time..."
At this point, Feng Hongye's eyes dimmed.
"The third time, he didn't lie to me. He pointed me to a potential marriage and told me to boldly pursue it..."
"And then? Did you catch up?" The old man asked with a gossipy expression.
Feng Hongye shook her head dejectedly, "No, on the contrary, we're caught in a dilemma, getting deeper and deeper into trouble!"
"Regret it?"
"I wouldn't say I regret it, but I'm just quite upset!"
Feng Hongye said softly, "Actually, I don't blame him. There's nothing wrong with being loyal to someone in a relationship. To say that someone is bad is just sour grapes. I would never stoop to the level of love turning into hate. If I love, I love; if I can't have you, I can't have you. I accept my fate!"
"No matter what, he's the one who healed my face, and I'll be grateful to him for the rest of my life!" Feng Hongye said sincerely.
Pang Wensheng smiled and nodded: "So, in the end, the main reason you came to protect me today is because of him!"
Feng Hongye was stunned for a moment, her pretty face flushed, and she pursed her red lips.
"So you were just trying to trick me into talking! You old folks have no sportsmanship at all!" Feng Hongye said, both embarrassed and angry.
Pang Wensheng found it amusing and funny.
Shaking his head, he sighed, "The old gentleman is truly a visionary! He dared to give me such instructions, it seems he had already foreseen this, and the bet he placed was your deep affection for that boy!"
"Hmph, who has any deep feelings for him? I... I just saw how hard he works for the people and couldn't bear to see good people go unrewarded!" she argued.
Pang Wensheng smiled and shook his head.
The education that Shenxue received from childhood was to be transcendent and high-dimensional, and to not care about the so-called common people at all.
Everything follows the Great Way.
However, even celestial maidens sometimes experience earthly emotions.
