Farewell Flower Festival

Chapter 142

The two guards first crossed the valley to explore the way. After about half a quarter of an hour, they returned along the same route and reported to Mu Tianling about the situation on the other side of the valley. The slope of the mountain was relatively gentle, so they could climb up the mountain.

Chao Yan wanted to go in and see what the scene was like inside the valley. After telling Mu Tianling about it, he glanced at the light behind the valley, thought about it, and left four guards outside to guard just in case.

After crossing the valley, Chao Yan was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

It was clearly late autumn, but inside it felt like March, with lush grass and fallen petals everywhere. In front of us was a stretch of peach blossom forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. The peach trees were in full bloom, like pink clouds. The air was filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms, and colorful butterflies were flying among the flowers and grass. It was like a fairyland on earth.

Chaoyan was staring at the peach blossom forest in a trance. Seeing how fascinated she was, Mu Tianling asked her if she wanted to go over and take a look. Chaoyan nodded involuntarily, but then shook her head. Now was not the time to travel around, see the flowers and butterflies, so he should get down to business first.

The two guards had already surveyed a path up the mountain. The vines on this side of the mountain made it easier to climb. Mu Tianling asked Feiyu, Amber and the two guards to stay, and he took the other five people to the top of the mountain. He told Feiyu and Amber to protect Chaoyan and to send a signal flare if anything happened.

Chaoyan kept staring at Mu Tianling's figure and had no intention of looking at the peach blossom forest.

Nearing noon, Mu Tianling and his men had reached halfway up the mountain.

Chaoyan stood on the ground and looked over. She could still vaguely make out the color of his clothes. After a while, a wisp of mist floated over and blocked her view. When the mist drifted away, she could not find the figures of the few people. She asked Amber and Feiyu if they could see where the few people were. Amber could not find the location of the few people for a while, but Feiyu was sharp-eyed and pointed in a direction. Chaoyan looked in that direction and after carefully identifying for a while, she vaguely saw the location of the few people.

Mu Tianling carried the telescope with him so that he could determine the location of the Fire Ganoderma at any time.

When he was almost at the top of the mountain, Mu Tianling used the telescope again to confirm the location of the fire Ganoderma lucidum, looked down the mountain for a while, then put away the telescope and continued to climb. When he reached the top of the mountain, Mu Tianling found a good position. There happened to be a big tree here. The trunk of the tree was so thick that two people could hug it. It looked to be hundreds or even thousands of years old.

A guard went over with a rope and was about to tie it to the tree, but suddenly a white shadow flew out from the tree, startling the guard. When he looked more closely, he realized it was a white crane.

Mu Tianling watched the white crane circling in the air and then flying into the valley. He had a bad feeling. When the white crane flew out of the valley, the expressions of the five guards changed. They saw that the white crane was holding something in its mouth, which was the fire Ganoderma lucidum.

Once the fire Ganoderma is picked, it will wither after an hour and all its medicinal effects will be lost.

Mu Tianling watched the white crane flying away with the Ganoderma lucidum in its beak, a bitter smile flashed across his lips, thinking that this was probably his fate.

The guard holding the rope blamed himself deeply. If he had not startled the white crane, he would not have failed.

Another guard took out a hidden weapon and wanted to shoot the white crane down before it flew far away, but was stopped by Mu Tianling, who said that first come first served, and since the white crane got it first, let it go.

He stood on the top of the mountain for a long time, thinking about how to tell Chaoyan after going down the mountain. The fire ganoderma that he had found with great difficulty was taken away by a white crane. It was really that plans could not keep up with changes.

When Mu Tianling was leading his men down the mountain, he saw Feiyu hurrying over when they were almost at the foot of the mountain. He thought something had happened to Chao Yan, so he quickened his pace and rushed over. Then he saw Feiyu holding the fire Ganoderma lucidum in his hand. Mu Tianling was slightly surprised. Feiyu conveyed Chao Yan's words again, saying that time was running out and asked him to eat it raw.

There is really no time to make medicine at this moment.

Mu Tianling could only eat it raw.

However, this Ganoderma lucidum is not bad to eat raw. After the medicinal juice flows down the throat, a warm current rises from the dantian and flows to the limbs and bones, and the whole body becomes warm.

Mu Tianling adjusted his breathing slightly and felt that the coldness that had been stagnant in his internal organs had dissipated. He asked where Chaoyan was, wanting to share the good news with her. Feiyu recounted what had happened in a concise manner.

At that time, a white crane flew over from the mountain. When the crane flew closer, Chao Yan found that it was holding something in its mouth. Upon closer inspection, it looked like the fire Ganoderma lucidum.

The white crane flew into the peach blossom forest. Chaoyan immediately chased after it, and Feiyu and Amber also followed it into the peach blossom forest.

Fortunately, Feiyu's Qinggong was fast enough and he never let the white crane out of his sight. Finally, the white crane flew into a small courtyard deep in the peach forest and landed on the armrest of a rocking chair in the courtyard.

The person lying on the rocking chair is a woman in white, with a book covering her face, basking in the sun in the yard.

When Feiyu pushed open the bamboo door and was about to go in, a man in black clothes suddenly appeared and stopped him at the door.

Before pushing open the door, Fei Yu didn't even sense the other party's breath, nor did he know where the other party came from, but he knew that the other party's martial arts was better than his.

At this time, the woman in white lying on the rocking chair asked him why he was chasing Xiaobai. Feiyu glanced at the white crane and knew that Xiaobai was talking about it. He said that it had taken away the fire Ganoderma lucidum. The woman asked him what he wanted to do with the fire Ganoderma lucidum, and Feiyu replied that it was for curing diseases.

The woman called out "husband", and the man in black clothes walked over and stretched out his hand to Baihe. Baihe obediently put the fire Ganoderma lucidum in his hand, and then he took the fire Ganoderma lucidum and handed it to Feiyu.

Before Feiyu could say thank you, the man in black clothes closed the door.

On the way back, Feiyu met Chaoyan and Amber. Chaoyan saw that Feiyu had already got the Fire Ganoderma, so he asked him to deliver it to Mu Tianling as soon as possible, because if it exceeded an hour, the Fire Ganoderma would wither.

Then Feiyu rushed over using Qinggong.

When Mu Tianling came back, he saw Chaoyan walking out of the peach forest. He quickened his pace and ran towards her, hugging her in his arms. Chaoyan couldn't wait to ask him if that was the fire Ganoderma lucidum, and whether he had eaten it, and it should have been less than an hour. Mu Tianling said that it was fine. Chaoyan was so excited that she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face. Amber and Feiyu both walked away on their own.

Before leaving, Chaoyan looked at the peach blossom forest reluctantly. Mu Tianling said that he would plant a patch of peach blossoms in the garden of the mansion after returning so that they could enjoy the flowers in the spring of next year.

The two of them stayed in Jiangzhou for a few more days, eating at all the restaurants in the city and visiting all the fun places. Mu Tianling also prepared a romantic fireworks display for Chao Yan.

The unaware people in the city thought that the fireworks were prepared by a young man from a wealthy family to please a beautiful woman, but they didn't know that it was a surprise prepared by the current Prince Ling for Princess Ling.

The next day, Mu Tianling received a secret letter from Eunuch Wu. After showing the letter to Chaoyan, the two set off for Beijing early the next morning.
