j inzhou city.

liang residence.

just as dawn was breaking, hongzhi carefully left through the side door. since he couldn’t leave the city at night, staying at the liang residence for one night was safer.

however, before he left, he looked back at the liang residence. for some reason, he felt that the mansion seemed to carry a sense of decline.

at this moment, he suddenly understood liang ying. he indeed couldn’t compare to him. if he were to put himself in liang ying’s position, he would never be able to reach the same level.

hongzhi couldn’t help but shake his head, clearing the emotions from his mind. then, he clasped his hands together and softly chanted a mantra.

“amitabha.”

after composing himself, he left quickly. today, he had to report to his master about the information liang ying had shared. the primary task was to retrieve the rare medicinal materials liang ying had secretly intercepted.

as for the second matter, liang ying’s personal ambition, he wasn’t sure how the monastery would react. nevertheless, it was his duty to report, and the other decisions were up to the monastery.

hongzhi hurried away, not noticing the playful smile and surprise in the heart of a man at the street corner who was watching him. he didn’t expect to encounter hongzhi here.

the man was none other than liang sheng, who had just come out of yichun building early in the morning. at this moment, he felt refreshed and satisfied, a feeling he hadn’t experienced for ten years.

liang sheng glanced at hongzhi’s departing figure, then looked towards the direction he had come from, wondering what hongzhi was doing at the liang residence, as their relationship was not good.

however, in the next moment, liang sheng dismissed the thought, since whatever hongzhi was doing had nothing to do with him. why should he bother?

as liang sheng walked along the streets, he felt extremely relaxed, no longer the timid and insecure person he once was.

having already made a breakthrough in the nine levels of the postnatal realm, he could walk through jinzhou city without any worries as long as he didn’t court disaster.

he then came to a street he used to frequent. back then, he would always eat a bowl of wontons at the street-side stall every time he came out of yichun building. he wondered if the stall was still there.

when he arrived at the location where the wonton stall used to be, he couldn’t help feeling pleasantly surprised, as he saw the words “zhou’s wonton” written on a banner waving gently in the wind.

however, the wonton stall had turned into a shop, and the owner’s appearance had changed. it was now a middle-aged man, showing signs of wear, instead of the old zhou he remembered.

liang sheng sat down at the enthusiastic invitation of the shop owner. apart from him, there was only one woman, most likely the owner’s wife, busying herself.

“sir, what would you like to order?”

at this moment, liang sheng felt somewhat dazed because he saw two memorial tablets in the middle of the shop with incense burning in front of them, emitting wisps of smoke.

the middle-aged shopkeeper noticed this and laughed, “those are the tablets of my parents. old customers of the shop know about it, but if it bothers you, i can take you to the inner hall.”

liang sheng shook his head, looking at the empty table beneath the tablets, surrounded by a barrier, and curiously asked, “what’s the reason for this?”

“oh, that’s where our benefactor, surnamed liang, used to sit. however, i don’t know who he is. my late father used to say that without the benefactor, i might not be alive today. my father told me to keep the seat empty, and now it has become a habit.”

as liang sheng listened, he seemed to see the scene from more than thirty years ago when he would come out of yichun building early in the morning and eat wontons here as usual.

however, the stall owner looked panicked, holding his unconscious child in his arms, unable to focus on makingwontons.

at that time, liang sheng didn’t give it much thought either, and casually threw a handful of broken silver, even asking ma san to take them to the doctor using his horse carriage.
