On hearing the news, Chen Changsheng fell into a long period of thought.

After several days, their party reached Fengyang City.

Fengyang City was a county city and was administered by the Feng City government. Although it was much smaller than other county cities, it was extremely bustling compared to other places in these canyons.

Standing on the cliff and looking at the distant lights of this city, the group decided to rest for the night and enter the city in the morning.

Recalling the somewhat sensitive nature of Nanke's identity, Chen Changsheng sent her into the Garden of Zhou.

She had completely forgotten the past events in the Garden of Zhou, but she quite enjoyed its environment, so she did not resist the notion.

Because Tang Thirty-Six had been viewing the monoliths in the Mausoleum of Books at the time, he had never entered the Garden of Zhou. Out of curiosity, he asked if Chen Changsheng could send him in so that he could play a while.

But not long after he entered, he came out.

The reason he found the Garden of Zhou to be interesting and the reason Nanke found it so enjoyable were one and the same.

There was no one inside the Garden of Zhou, only countless monsters.

Nanke instinctively felt relaxed there, and such a fact could only make Tang Thirty-Six feel bored.

To Chen Changsheng's surprise, Zhexiu also wanted to enter the Garden of Zhou.

He quietly sat in the plains for a while, then came out and said to Chen Changsheng, ”These plains aren't interesting now. The sun sets behind the mountains.”

The seal that prevented the sun from setting over the plains had been broken, and the number of monsters living in the Garden of Zhou was continuing to increase.

Chen Changsheng knew that the true reason for Zhexiu's lack of interest was not that the sun did not set, but that the girl that accompanied him in watching the sun was no longer here.

At five in the morning, Chen Changsheng calmed his mind and opened his eyes to look down at the river below. He felt a little regret.

He had spent the entire night spreading his spiritual sense on both sides of the canyon, wanting to find any trace of Chusu, but his search had proved fruitless.

The climate in the canyon was much warmer than the climate on the plains beyond the mountains, and Fengyang City was much warmer than Wenshui City. Even in midwinter, no snow fell, and a cotton jacket might even feel a little too warm. Just like those thick chains on the surface of the river, they did not have any metallic chill from basking in the sunlight, but rather a scalding heat.

Fengyang City was built along the mountains. As one walked along the cliffs towards the city, tea trees could be seen all over, and these tea trees had clearly just been harvested.

Seeing the confused expressions on the faces of Chen Changsheng's party, Hu Thirty-Two explained, ”This place is rich in wild tea. In the winter, this wild tea has the best taste. In the past ten-some years, Fengyang's wild tea has been growing more and more famous, and the wild tea harvested in winter has become a precious product. Every year, a tea party will be held, with the county magistrate and the bishop personally attending, and the varieties of tea gathered there are too numerous to be counted.”

It was still early morning, but Fengyang City was extremely busy. On both sides of the main street running along the river, several dozen tea shops were already open. The sounds of hollering and greeting went on without end, and one could always smell the plain aroma of tea carried along by the morning wind.
