As she spoke, Wu Lan tightly grasped the gentle woman’s arms, as though afraid her mother might vanish in the next moment.

Behind the teahouse stood an octagonal pavilion, at its center a large iron wok rested above a stone stove, flames licking hungrily at its base.

Standing quietly nearby, Wu Guniang watched her father sweat profusely, her face etched with concern. “Father, you’ve just recovered from your cold. Let me handle this instead.” “You’re still lacking in the…

“The tea’s aroma is rich, the taste lingering and sweet, akin to the first warmth of spring!” Gu Ning’an set down the tea bowl, savoring the lingering sensation of the “spring tea” on his lips, which stirred memories of days gone by.Hearing this, Shopkeeper Wu’s wrinkled face relaxed into a smile. “Excellent!

“Sir Gu, it was impolite of me. I hope you won’t take offense,” Wu Guniang said, bowing slightly in apology.Gu Ning’an nodded slightly. “It’s nothing. Tell me, why did you call for me?”Hearing this, Wu Guniang leaned in closer to him, glanced around to ensure no one in the tea house was paying attention to them, then lowered her voice and asked, “Sir Gu, are you an immortal?”Gu Ning’an responded matter-of-factly, “I’m not.”“Then your appearance…” Wu Guniang, clearly…

Following a covered corridor, Wu Guniang, carrying the copper kettle, walked gracefully toward the back room.Standing before the door, she hesitated before pushing it open, eventually retracting her hand. To one side of the door rested a small square stool. On clear days, when it wasn’t raining, the tea house owner, Master Wu, loved sitting outside in the sun. But with him currently bedridden from a lingering cold, the stool had gathered a thin layer of dust.Wu Guniang retrieved a clean…

The young woman who had spoken appeared to be in her early twenties. She wore plain clothing, her almond-shaped eyes gently upturned, exuding a peach blossom charm. Her jet-black hair was styled into an elegant bun, adorned with a vibrant green tea twig that shimmered faintly, as if imbued with spiritual essence. Gu Ning’an studied her briefly, his gaze ultimately resting on the tea twig in her hair. Time flies, he thought. The Little Sanhua of those years had grown into a graceful young lady. Feeling a…

A heavy storm was approaching. In front of the narrow, long official road, many hurried traveling merchants were walking, either in small groups or as a crowd. The donkey carts, loaded with heavy cargo, left deep or shallow ruts in the ground. This official road was called the Muyan Road, named after the unique climate phenomenon in the area. Travelers needed to be particularly cautious of sudden downpours. The rain was strange; although the clouds often looked ready to burst, it might take hours for them…
