Chapter: 5839
Lei Chen nodded slightly: "Among those I'm familiar with, Meng Changsheng is first, Wu Feiyun second."
"Okay." Lin Wan'er pulled Lei Chen's arm firmly and laughed mischievously. "As for you, you've put them in your heart as Zhuomulangma and Qiaoliu Peak. Today's Qingzhao Temple is the starting point of our first breakthrough, and next time we'll use this place as a base camp to push forward step by step until we succeed."
Lei Chen sighed lightly and nodded: "That's all that can be done."
Lin Wan'er saw Lei Chen finally seemed to have accepted the situation and felt relieved.
At this moment, she was like an ancient newlywed girl, with only her "husband" in mind. If her "husband" was happy, even eating bitter food wouldn't feel difficult, but if he wasn't happy, even a feast would taste as dry as chewing gum to her.
She feared that Lei Chen might not understand the concept of strategic retreat, and now it seemed that Lei Chen had at least accepted the advice from that senior master.
Despite seeing that there was still some lingering unease, she left it to herself to comfort and console herself.
So she grabbed Lei Chen's hand, pulled him along, and walked back on the path they had taken earlier.
Lei Chen walked with his head down, and Lin Wan'er thought of ways to ease his mood, asking him with a hopeful expression: "Sir, do you feel that Pu'Er tea has grown bigger or produced more leaves this past two days?"
Lei Chen replied casually: "It should grow a bit larger; as for the leaves, it shouldn't be too much of an issue if we take out three to five tender sprouts."
Lin Wan'er said with a smile: "After that, I'll pick off the new shoots and use them to brew tea for you to taste."
Lei Chen asked curiously: "Isn't making Pu'Er tea quite troublesome? After processing, don't we need to store it for fermentation?"
Lin Wan'er smiled: "Actually, after killing the green, we can drink it immediately. It's just that there's a certain flavor lacking; but it also has a fresh and gentle taste. Generally speaking, as long as you use freshly picked tea leaves right away, you'll have higher standards for freshness and time, so most people don't get to experience it."
Lei Chen asked with a smile: "Don't you treasure Pu'Er tea's leaves very much? Why are you being so generous now?"
Lin Wan'er blushed and whispered softly: "Pu'Er tea's life force is so vigorous; taking out a bit shouldn't be an issue. It's not what sir said, after all."
Lei Chen knew Lin Wan'er was trying to cheer him up, but he wasn't going to be troubled by this anymore, so he smiled and said: "Let Pu'Er tea leaves grow well; if you take too many, you might not be able to sleep tonight."
Lei Chen smiled: "As long as you're happy, I won't begrudge anything."
Lin Wan'er laughed and nodded slightly, acknowledging that Lei Chen understood her intentions. She felt a bit touched by his words, and it was quite embarrassing to have an old man like him making such efforts for a young girl like herself. So she said: "Ah, Lin Miss, I think Wu Feiyan won't dare touch Hua Xia again in the near future, and there's definitely no risk for the next period of time. What are your plans afterwards?"
Lin Wan'er saw that Lei Chen had changed the topic, so she laughed and said: "I plan to go back to school to study, but I'll also take a walk every day to care for Pu'Er tea's mother at the Purple Gold Mountain Manor. Additionally, I might need to ask Old Qiu to prepare an airplane, and we can go to the Miao Nan Erlang Mountains on the weekend to tidy up the tea garden."
Lei Chen smiled: "That will be very busy indeed."
Lin Wan'er nodded seriously: "The busier the better! Actually, I haven't been this busy in many years. In the past, I was always worried about being caught by Wu Feiyan, so I didn't dare go out and play. Recently, I've just been staying at home all day, doing nothing but playing with ceramics, writing letters, and painting pictures. I even wanted to raise a small cute cow, but it never happened. In the future, Wu Feiyan's pressure should be relieved somewhat, and it'll be great to have more things to do."
Lei Chen saw Lin Wan'er's expectant expression and couldn't help feeling happy for her.
Lei Chen knew that for this 300-year-old girl, the next period of time might be the least stressful part of her life outside of childhood. For her, even if she's busy, it'll definitely make her happier.
Thinking about this, he felt that this trip to Miao Nan wasn't a waste after all, and his mood also relaxed by a few degrees.
The two people walked along the same route they had taken earlier, slowly climbing up to the second mountain they had passed. When they reached halfway, their altitude exceeded that of the Qingzhao Temple, where Lin Wan'er suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at the distant Qingzhao Temple with a lost expression, as if she was thinking about something.
