Master Jiao looked at Chen Shi, who hadn't been seen for years and seemed somewhat weathered, noticing that the youthful air on Chen Shi had faded, revealing a sense of maturity and steadiness.
Jing Mei, Qiao Gu, Jiang Guo, Black Pot, and others quickly gathered around him.
"Junior Brother Chen, where have you been all these years?" Senior Sister Jing Mei asked.
"I've been to so many places. After leaving Penglai West, I went to Xia Country. It was spring there, the wind gentle, and everywhere it blew, life thrived. I observed the wonder of all things growing, understanding how the wind brings the yang energy in the light, nourishing everything into vitality."
Chen Shi continued at an unhurried pace, "Then I went to Yu Country, where it was summer. The summer wind was hot, and I observed everything flowering and bearing fruit, exuberant and passionate, life pollinating in the wind, spreading, nurturing the next generation."
