Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 22 The Mysterious Storyteller

Su Yue limped back to the guest house. Taozi saw Su Yue from a distance and hurried forward anxiously. "Miss! Where have you been? Qiuzhu is so worried that he has asked the guards to go out to look for you!"

Su Yue sighed softly, tried to force out a smile and said, "Don't be nervous, I just want to go for a walk in the mountains and get some fresh air. Maybe I walked too fast and accidentally sprained my ankle."

After hearing this, Taozi quickly supported Su Yue and asked with concern: "Miss, are you seriously injured? Do you want to ask a doctor to come and see?"

Su Yue shook her head, indicating that there was no need to make such a fuss. "It's just a minor sprain. It will be fine after a few days of rest. There's no need to make a fuss."

However, Taozi was worried and insisted on finding some medicinal wine to massage Su Yue's feet. While she was helping Su Yue into the room, she kept nagging: "Miss, don't run around alone in the future. It's in the wilderness, what if you encounter any danger!"

Su Yue knew that Taozi said this out of concern, so she comforted her: "Okay, I get it. I will pay attention next time. Thank you, Taozi."

After saying that, Su Yue sat down on the bed, looking at her injured ankle, feeling helpless. She had just wanted to be alone for a while, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this...

Su Yue has been in a bad mood these days. The more she thinks about it, the more frustrated and desperate she feels. But that's just how she is. Although she thinks about a lot of things, she won't care about them after a while. She thought that she hadn't been out for a few days, so she decided to take Taozi and the others out for a walk again. She didn't bring Chenxiang and Dingxiang with her last time, so she'll take them with her this time. And there were still a lot of fun things she didn't see last time.

Su Yue and his group came to the market. There were people coming and going, and it was very lively. Su Yue strolled around the various stalls with great interest, and stopped from time to time to admire some novel things.

After strolling around the market to her satisfaction, Su Yue led a few maids into a restaurant with a sign hanging on it - Food Court. In this era, meals are either boiled or grilled. Previously, Su Yue, perhaps because of her illness, did not think there was anything wrong with this. But recently her appetite has gradually improved, and she began to feel that the diet is too monotonous, not as rich and varied as in her previous life, which makes people eat comfortably. Even the food made by Ding Xiang does not seem to be so fragrant. Walking into this food court, Su Yue did not know what the food tasted like here, but she saw that there were quite a lot of people in the store.

Su Yue and the others chose a seat near the window and sat down, thinking that they could enjoy the scenery outside the window, but this world was different from the era she was originally in. If she didn't open the window, she couldn't see the scenery outside. Su Yue couldn't help but sigh softly...

Afterwards, Su Yue studied the menu carefully, and after thinking for a moment, she ordered a few signature dishes of the restaurant: a fragrant roasted rabbit meat, a delicate sheepskin silk, a rich Eight Immortals plate, and a delicate and tempting crystal dragon and phoenix cake. These delicacies are mouth-watering just by hearing the names, and they are expected to satisfy everyone's taste buds.

Not long after, these dishes were served. Su Yue tasted these dishes one by one. Although the taste was not bad, she always felt that something was missing. Was it the cooking method that was wrong? Or was it due to improper use of seasonings? Su Yue thought to herself.

After much thought, she finally decided to try it herself one day. After all, as the saying goes, "Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing!" Only through personal practice can she cook the food that best suits her taste. By then, she will surely be able to satisfy her picky taste buds.

After the meal, Su Yue's mind once again popped up the storyteller, so she decided to go to the teahouse to listen to the story again. However, the strange feeling of being secretly spied on by others came over her again, making her feel uncomfortable. Despite this, Su Yue still tried to stay calm, not wanting others to notice her abnormality.

She began to look around carefully, trying to find the peeper hiding in the dark. At this moment, she caught a glimpse of a mysterious man wearing a mask sitting in the corner. The man's eyes seemed to have never left Su Yue, which made her a little nervous. And that look seemed to have been seen somewhere before. Su Yue wondered if she had seen it before or it was a memory of little Su Yue, which made her very confused.

Su Yue stared at the masked man, trying to find some clues from his actions. He was wearing a black robe, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his eyes under the mask were deep and sharp, revealing an indescribable sense of mystery. For some reason, Su Yue felt that this man gave her a very familiar feeling, but she just couldn't remember who this person was.

Driven by nervousness and curiosity, Su Yue involuntarily took a few steps closer to the masked man. Just as she wanted to observe him further, the masked man suddenly stood up, turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the masked man's back, Su Yue fell into deep thought. Who is this mysterious man? Why is he spying on her? A series of questions came to her mind, making Su Yue confused. At this moment, she realized that she might be involved in an unknown storm... She didn't know what secrets this little Su Yue had behind her. This fragmented memory was really annoying.

Su Yue had an indescribable intuition in her heart, as if the storyteller had been waiting for her arrival before he began to tell the story about Princess Ming Zhao. When she first stepped into this place, the storyteller was not telling the "Biography of Princess Ming Zhao" that he was telling now.

What on earth was going on? Su Yue couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She tried to recall the few words she heard when she entered the room, but because she didn't pay attention at the time, she couldn't remember exactly what the storyteller had said before. However, what was certain was that it had absolutely nothing to do with the story of Princess Ming Zhao that was being told at the moment.

Su Yue secretly wondered if there was some kind of connection between her and the legendary Princess Ming Zhao? This thought made her feel uneasy. She had always longed to live a simple and peaceful life and did not want to be involved in any complicated things. After all, an overly complicated life often brings endless troubles and worries.

I hope this is just a coincidence! Su Yue prayed silently, hoping that she could stay away from people and things that might cause her trouble. She just wanted to focus on her own life and pursue the happiness and peace that she really wanted in her heart. However, fate always seemed to like to play tricks on people. What will happen next? No one knows...
