Early the next morning.
As promised, Lu Feng arrived outside the courtyard of Chu Youwei and Lin Xiaowan. As agreed yesterday, he would accompany the two of them and Elder Gongxi to Ken Yu Village.
Ken Yu Village lay several hundred li south of Heavenly Cuisine Villa. It was not a prosperous place, but an exceedingly barren one, with scarcely any inhabitants.
Yet it was where Chu Youwei's father, Chu Xuanyi, had first met her mother, Meng Qiutong.
It was also on the road back to the Chu Family from there that they met Lin Baixu and Lin Liyun's father, Lin Baisu.
