Chapter 201: Strolling in the Garden with Yuo Yue

In the Relocating Flower Palace, a myriad of blossoms were in full bloom.

Having arrived the previous evening, Jiang Feng hadn't had the opportunity to admire the scenery in detail. Now, in the early morning light, with the sun just rising, the fresh air, gentle breeze, and swaying flowers created an ethereal atmosphere. The white walls, red pillars, blue tiles, and gray bricks, veiled in layers of mist, resembled a celestial palace amidst the clouds—a breathtaking spectacle.

"It must have been quite a feat for the elders of the Relocating Flower Palace to discover this otherworldly place and establish their sect here," Jiang Feng remarked.

Yuo Yue nodded, her soft laughter echoing gently, "The Relocating Flower Palace has a heritage that spans nearly two centuries, and a hundred years ago, it already shook the martial arts world, earning the title of 'Martial Arts Holy Land'."

Yuo Yue's statement was indisputably true.

In the world of The Proud Twins, only two renowned martial arts sects and families had revealed themselves—the Emei Sect and the Murong family. And indeed, both were forces to be reckoned with.

The Emei Sect, led by Shen Xi, the Daoist Abbot, fearlessly faced off against numerous foreign martial artists lured by the fake treasure map. Moreover, Abbot Shen Xi's influence extended even to Master Shi and the martial artists in the Xiang Han region.

As for the Murong family, they had formed extensive marital alliances. Even without the family head, Murong Yong, taking action, the nine Murong sisters, when facing the venerable Jiang Biehe, stood in a position of superiority.

However, both these powers had suffered losses at the hands of the Relocating Flower Palace's new young successor, Hua Wuque. Not only did they refrain from directly engaging him with their martial arts, but they also showed no signs of retaliation afterward.

This clearly demonstrated the standing of the Relocating Flower Palace in the martial arts world, as well as the formidable influence that Yuo Yue and Lian Xing, the two sisters, held over the community.

When one's martial arts reached a certain level of mastery, they could indeed disregard the influence of their background and act with impunity.

"So, regarding the origin of the name 'Relocating Flower Palace,' was it derived from the act of relocating flowers or the technique of diverting flowers and presenting jade?" Jiang Feng inquired.

Yuo Yue smiled, "Naturally, it's from the martial arts technique of diverting flowers and presenting jade. This is the fundamental skill of our sect. However, since the palace masters of the Relocating Flower Palace have always been women, and Embroidery Valley remains evergreen throughout the seasons, our ancestors brought back flowers from their travels and transplanted them here. Over the course of a hundred years, the valley has become a gathering place for a myriad of blossoms, blooming in all four seasons."

Jiang Feng nodded, "The elders' dedication has created this miraculous landscape. Immersing oneself in such surroundings must be a delightful experience. Even a brief walk here has made me feel more at ease."

Yuo Yue turned to glance at Jiang Feng's profile and smiled gently, "If I have nothing urgent to attend to, I'll accompany you for a longer stroll. It will help stimulate your blood flow and aid in your recovery."

The two strolled through the garden, admiring the vibrant flowers. Jiang Feng, with his handsome features and proud bearing, and Yuo Yue, graceful and ethereal, made for a captivating pair.

"Did you see the man that the two palace masters brought back yesterday?"

"Yes, he's quite handsome. I heard he's a famous beauty in the Yunhan region, known as the Jade Young Master."

"Jade Young Master, hehe, that's quite a coincidence with our Embroidery Valley."

"I wonder if the two palace masters brought him back because... you know..."

At that moment, two young female disciples, not too far in age, turned from the path beside them, giggling as they discussed the gossip about the palace masters and Jiang Feng. Then, as they lifted their heads, they froze, their eyes widening in terror as they took in the sight of Jiang Feng and the cold-eyed Yuo Yue.

The two girls went rigid, their faces draining of color, and their bodies trembling.

"Pal... Palace Master..."

"We..."

The playful atmosphere was abruptly shattered, and a chilling glint flashed in Yuo Yue's eyes. She was about to reprimand them, but she held back, mindful of Jiang Feng by her side. Instead, she heard Jiang Feng's low laughter, "The disciples of the Relocating Flower Palace are lively and spirited, yet they know how to respect their elders. It seems the two palace masters have done an excellent job in their teachings."

The two female disciples' hearts skipped a beat, and the oppressive aura surrounding Yuo Yue gradually softened.

"You may go," Yuo Yue said calmly.

However, they had ultimately shattered the playful atmosphere that Yuo Yue had deliberately created, and their words had revealed a glimpse of Yuo Yue's authoritative style.

Yuo Yue remained silent for a moment, "I..."

"I understand," Jiang Feng quickly said, "as the leader of the Relocating Flower Palace, you have to manage the entire sect and naturally need to establish your authority. If the disciples aren't afraid of you and do as they please, chaos would ensue."

Jiang Feng continued, "Even with my management of the Jiang family compound, with over a hundred people, it's impossible to be gentle with everyone."

A spark flashed in Yuo Yue's eyes, but before she could speak, Jiang Feng continued, "So, I've always believed in a combination of reward and punishment. I make them fear me when they're doing something wrong, respect me in our daily interactions, and befriend me during leisure and laughter."

Yuo Yue couldn't help but turn to look at Jiang Feng, meeting his harmless, cheerful gaze and smile.

But Yuo Yue was no ordinary woman; she could tell that Jiang Feng was subtly hinting at her.

Yuo Yue was actually a little unhappy inside. Despite her young age, she had already reached the pinnacle of martial arts and was the leader of the Relocating Flower Palace. Who was he to comment on how she conducted herself?

However, Jiang Feng's words were veiled, and by expressing understanding and support from the start, without directly criticizing her, he left her with no rebuttal.

Moreover...

Yuo Yue still viewed Jiang Feng through rose-tinted glasses. Before he caused her heartache and despair, turning her love into hatred and obsession, she could still listen to his words.

And Jiang Feng, having devised a plan to kill Jiang Qin and scolded Wei Wuya, while also revealing the reason behind the eternal spring in Embroidery Valley, had established himself as an intelligent character in Yuo Yue's eyes. Thus, she couldn't help but consider his words.

On the other hand, Jiang Feng felt the same way. If Yuo Yue hadn't hesitated just now, seeming as if she wanted to explain herself, he wouldn't have said what he did.

Even so, he was merely expressing his agreement while subtly implying his own approach, without making any evaluative or instructive comments about Yuo Yue.

Talking to a formidable and sensitive woman like her, Jiang Feng felt he had exhausted all his tricks.

He was tactful yet respectful, friendly yet maintaining a distance, striving to keep their relationship at a platonic level.

Even the latter half of his previous statement was intentional, meant to create some distance.

What he feared most at the moment was for their relationship to grow too close. If Yuo Yue ever confronted him about his feelings, how could he possibly refuse her?

So, when the two of them walked out of the garden and saw Lian Xing approaching, Jiang Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lian Xing greeted them with a smile, "I just came from the kitchen. I personally prepared a ginseng chicken soup, which is excellent for detoxifying and healing."

"Then I'm in for a treat," Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"It's the least I can do since you saved me. I must help you recover from your injuries," Lian Xing said with a smile. "The soup is already on the table. Let's go and enjoy it while it's hot."

The three of them then proceeded to a side hall for their meal.

In addition to the ginseng chicken soup that Lian Xing had specially prepared, there were also delicacies like honeyed lotus seed soup, pine mushroom and osmanthus cake, crispy pastry layers, and red bean egg rolls. The exquisite flavors rivaled those of the finest restaurants in Jingzhou.

As a modern soul, Jiang Feng really wanted to ask about the funding sources of the Relocating Flower Palace, but he dared not.

Jiang Feng: ╮(￣▽￣)
