Rebirth: Phoenix Riding the Ninth Heaven

Li Ruoyue and Luzhu decided to return to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Behind this decision, there was careful consideration and emotional pull.

Since leaving the Weiyuan Marquisate and following a mysterious figure deep into the valley to learn Taoist philosophy and skills, Li Ruoyue has undergone a profound transformation. In that tranquil valley, she not only learned how to coexist harmoniously with nature and cultivate her mind through breathing exercises, but also learned to understand human nature and how to face the world with tolerance and wisdom. As time passed, a strong sense of belonging gradually blossomed within Li Ruoyue, and she began to yearn for the Weiyuan Marquisate, her family and old friends there, and the warmth and memories that the mansion held.

Luzhu, Li Ruoyue's companion on her journey of growth, brought endless joy and comfort to her spiritual journey with her innocent smile and pure nature. To Li Ruoyue, Luzhu was more than just a master and servant; she was like a family member and a friend. In Luzhu's clear eyes, Li Ruoyue saw hope and a bright future. She realized that Luzhu, too, needed a wider world, a home filled with love and care, and the Weiyuan Marquisate provided just that.

Li Ruoyue asked tentatively: Luzhu, are you willing to go back to the Marquis' Mansion with me? Luzhu's eyes widened immediately, and she asked in disbelief, "Miss, are you going to leave me and go back alone? Don't you want me anymore?" She sobbed.

Li Ruoyue Jibao received it. No, no, I'm just not sure whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to take you back. The road back will definitely be difficult, and I don't know whether you will live or die. But if you stay in the Taoist temple, I can guarantee that you will have enough food and clothing, and live in peace and happiness.

Lu Zhu quickly stated, "Miss, no matter where you go, I will always be by your side. If you leave me, I will be very sad. I have no relatives in the world, only you. You can't leave me. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, I will always be by your side and never leave you."

On a moonlit night, Li Ruoyue and Luzhu sat on the grass in the valley, gazing up at the starry sky, and began discussing returning to the Weiyuan Marquisate. Li Ruoyue gently explained to Luzhu that the Weiyuan Marquisate was where she grew up, where her beloved family lived, where she shared the laughter and tears of her childhood. She told Luzhu that returning to the Weiyuan Marquisate was not only about reclaiming the past but also about creating the future, giving her a warm home and a nurturing environment for growth.

Li Ruoyue listened to Luzhu's reluctance to leave her and her unwavering determination, and could only pat Luzhu on the back. "Silly girl, how could you be so silly? It's so good to be in the Taoist temple. You are destined to suffer a lot if you follow me. I am not sure how far I can go. How can I bear to take you with me to suffer so much?"

Luzhu sobbed and said, "Miss, you are the best. Let me follow you. You are my only relative in this world. If I don't follow you, where will I go? Without you, I will have no motivation to live." Ruoyue looked at Lizhu's pitiful appearance and finally couldn't bear it. She nodded gently and said, "Okay, just follow me. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will definitely go on bravely." As she said this, Luzhu threw herself into Li Ruoyue's arms, sobbing softly.

Though young, Luzhu placed her trust and reliance on Li Ruoyue. She knew that every decision Li Ruoyue made was for her own good, for their shared future. In Li Ruoyue's embrace, Luzhu nodded, her eyes gleaming with anticipation and curiosity about the unknown world.

So, Li Ruoyue and Lu Zhu decided it was time to return to the Weiyuan Marquisate, the place that had once offered them warmth and shelter. They believed that no matter how the world changed, the warmth of home would never fade. On the way back, Li Ruoyue's heart was filled with longing for the future. She knew that the Weiyuan Marquisate would not only be her starting point, but also the beginning of Lu Zhu's new life. There, it would witness every moment of their growth together and record their most precious memories.

The gifts that Li Ruoyue and Luzhu prepared for returning to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion were not only a transfer of material things, but also an exchange of emotions and wisdom. There was a deep meaning behind each gift, aiming to closely connect the beauty of the valley with the life of the Marquis Mansion.

Herbal health tea bags are the gift of nature and the gift of health

Drawing on the herbal medicine knowledge she acquired in the valley, Li Ruoyue carefully selected several herbs with health-promoting properties, such as hawthorn, mint, chrysanthemum, and honeysuckle. Each herb carries the gifts of nature and the spirituality of the valley. She meticulously grinds these herbs, blends them according to the appropriate proportions, and then handcrafts them into exquisite tea bags. Each bag of tea comes with a handwritten label from Li Ruoyue, explaining the herbal properties, along with brewing instructions and drinking suggestions, allowing the family to experience Li Ruoyue's care and dedication while enjoying the tea. These health-promoting tea bags not only help the family members of the Marquis' Mansion maintain their health, but also allow them to find a moment of tranquility amidst their busy lives, allowing them to experience the peace of the valley and the nourishing nature of nature.

Luzhu's Nature Album—A Bridge of Art and a Dialogue of the Soul: Every day in the valley, Luzhu captured the beautiful moments of nature with her paintbrush. From the first rays of sunlight in the morning to the rosy clouds filling the sky at dusk; from the gurgling mountain streams to the wildflowers blooming in the valley, each painting is filled with Luzhu's love and awe for nature. She carefully organized these paintings and accompanied them with simple text, telling the stories behind them and her understanding and insights into nature. This album not only showcases Luzhu's artistic talent but also her fond memories of life in the valley. Through this album, the family of the Marquis's residence can experience Luzhu's innocence and dreams, and find spiritual solace in their busy lives, as if they were immersed in the embrace of the valley, engaging in a heart-to-heart dialogue with nature.

Handwoven herbal sachets—the fragrance of love and the guardian of health. Li Ruoyue and Luzhu worked together to hand-weave a series of sachets using herbs and natural materials from the valley. These sachets are not only beautiful in appearance but also imbued with the essence of nature, exuding a delicate herbal aroma. Li Ruoyue carefully selected herbs with soothing, insect-repelling, and air-purifying properties, such as lavender, mugwort, and mint, and skillfully wove them into the sachets. Each sachet is attached to a small card with inscribed blessings from Li Ruoyue and Luzhu for their family, such as "May you have sweet dreams every night" and "May you always be in good health." These sachets not only bring health and tranquility to their families but also carry Li Ruoyue and Luzhu's deep thoughts and care for them, allowing them to feel their presence and warmth in their daily lives, like a gentle valley breeze caressing every corner of the mansion.

Considering that the Houfu family might be interested in the skills Li Ruoyue had learned in the valley, she prepared a series of customized skill-sharing courses. These courses included introductory techniques for regulating internal energy, simple herbal identification and application, and philosophical reflections on how to live in harmony with nature. Li Ruoyue meticulously designed each course, combining theory and practice to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment for the family. Through these courses, Li Ruoyue was able to not only share the knowledge and skills she had acquired in the valley but also enhance emotional connection and foster understanding and interaction within the family, making the Houfu a warm haven of wisdom and love.

Seeds and Plant Specimens in the Valley – A Continuation of Life and a Dialogue with Nature. To allow their family to more directly experience the natural beauty of the valley, Li Ruoyue and Lu Zhu carefully selected seeds and plant specimens from the valley to bring back to the mansion. Together with their family, they planned to plant these seeds in the mansion's garden, perpetuating the valley's vitality within the mansion. This planting also symbolized Li Ruoyue and Lu Zhu's deep affection for the mansion and their beautiful hopes for their future lives. Planting these seeds not only beautified the mansion but also allowed the family to personally experience the miracle of life and the wonder and majesty of nature. These seeds and plant specimens became a bridge connecting the valley and the mansion, allowing love and beauty to flow freely between these two worlds. They also provided the family with an opportunity to connect with nature amidst their busy lives and experience the true meaning and beauty of life.

Li Ruoyue and Luzhu were very satisfied with the prepared gifts and preparations. Now they could finally relax.

Luzhu rubbed her hands together and asked nervously, "Shall we go to the back mountain to catch some game and pick wild mushrooms tomorrow?" "We haven't gone out to play for a long time," Luzhu said aggrievedly.

Li Ruoruoyue looked at Luzhu and couldn't help but think that she was still at the age of playing and making trouble. It was really hard for her to practice hard with him these days. Thinking of this, Li Ruoruoyue couldn't help but said with a mixture of anger and amusement: "I'll do whatever you say."
