The next morning, the sun was bright and cloudless. Like a shy child, the golden sun quietly peeked out from behind the clouds, casting its warm rays across the earth. Jiang Meiyu rose early, enjoyed a hearty breakfast, and cheerfully summoned her personal maid, Keqing, to bid farewell to the abbot.
Along the way, Jiang Meiyu's steps were light and graceful, as if the wind was blowing beneath her feet.
