Su Yu waved his hand and said modestly: "If you want to thank someone, you should thank our master. After all, it was our master's arrangement." There was an expression of respect on his face, and when he mentioned his master, his eyes flashed with admiration.

"Of course, but we have to wait for you to take us there." Chen Xiner said, her eyes revealing a hint of expectation. She was full of curiosity about Taixu Valley and hoped to find a way to restore Lin Feng's memory there.

"No hurry, no hurry. We'll enter the valley tomorrow morning. It's too late to go in now," Su Yu said. His voice was calm and firm, reassuring. He took a sip of wine, a look of relaxation on his face.

"You two are right. Come sit down and have something to eat," Lin Feng said warmly. Although he had lost his memory, he could sense the kindness of the two people before him. With a sincere smile on his face, he gestured for Su Yu and You Lan to sit down.

"Then we won't be polite?" Su Yu asked with a smile, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

"You're welcome. You are all benefactors. Please sit down." Chen Xiner said hurriedly. She enthusiastically poured wine for Su Yu and Youlan, with a sincere smile on her face.

So, the five of them sat together, savoring the delicious meal and chatting happily. Su Yu and You Lan recounted anecdotes from Taixu Valley, while Chen Xiner and Chen Yu shared their experiences along the way. Lin Feng listened quietly. Although he remembered nothing of the past, at this moment, he could feel a long-lost sense of warmth and belonging.

The candlelight gradually dimmed, and the wine in the jug dwindled. Their voices, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, echoed throughout the inn, accompanied by laughter and chatter. Outside the window, moonlight streamed across the streets of Xulin Village, adding a touch of mystery to the quiet night. Occasionally, a night breeze blew, gently ruffling the inn's curtains and bringing a hint of coolness.

As time went by, everyone's faces flushed and their eyes became blurry. They were drunk, but still reluctant to stop chatting.

Chen Yu became more and more talkative, dancing and recounting an interesting adventure, which made everyone laugh. Chen Xiner leaned back in her chair, a satisfied smile on her face, looking at everyone, her heart filled with happiness.

Although Lin Feng couldn't quite keep up with everyone's conversation, he was also infected by the joyful atmosphere and smiled from time to time.

It was not until late at night that they finally got up and went back to their rooms to rest. Su Yu, You Lan and Lin Feng said goodbye to each other and returned to their rooms.

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight filtered through the thin curtains, gently scattering across the room of the Xulin Village Inn. Lin Feng slowly awoke, his eyes still lingering in the sunlight. He gently rubbed his head. The days since he lost his memory were like a fog, leaving him constantly bewildered. But the company of his companions brought him peace of mind.

"It's a new day, I hope there will be a new turn." Lin Feng whispered to himself, and his voice echoed softly in the silent room.

At the same time, Chen Xin'er in the next room slowly opened her eyes. Her cheeks were slightly flushed from waking, like peach blossoms blooming in spring. Thinking back to last night's conversation with Su Yu and You Lan, and about to step into the mysterious Taixu Valley, her heart was filled with anticipation and anxiety.

"Lin Feng, you must get better soon." Chen Xiner whispered softly, her eyes revealing firm concern.

Chen Yu, meanwhile, had already stretched his muscles in the room. As he stretched, he thought about the upcoming entrance into the Great Sky Saint Forest, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. "I must be extremely alert along the way and protect the young lady and Lin Feng," he silently encouraged himself, his eyes gleaming with determination.

In the inn's lobby, Su Yu and You Lan had been waiting for a long time. Dressed in light clothing and carrying simple bags, they looked energetic. Su Yu wore a confident smile, his eyes revealing a familiarity with this forest. You Lan stood quietly to the side, her gaze occasionally glancing towards the stairwell, waiting for the others to appear.

After a while, Lin Feng, Chen Xiner, and Chen Yu came downstairs one after another. The five of them sat around the table and began to enjoy a simple breakfast. The table was filled with steaming buns, pickles, and rice porridge. Although simple, it was full of the taste of home.

"How did you sleep last night?" Su Yu asked with a smile, his voice gentle and kind.

"It's fine. I haven't slept so soundly in a long time." Chen Yu replied with a smile, his face filled with satisfaction.

Chen Xiner nodded gently, her eyes unconsciously falling on Lin Feng. Lin Feng felt her gaze, turned around, and gave her a warm smile. Chen Xiner's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head and continued eating breakfast.

After breakfast, they packed their bags and officially embarked on their journey to the Great Sky Forest. Su Yu and You Lan led the way, followed closely by Lin Feng, Chen Xin'er, and Chen Yu. As they left the inn, the sunlight bathed them in a golden glow.

As soon as I stepped into the Great Forest of Kongsheng, a damp, fresh air hit me. The trees here were lush and verdant, their branches and leaves intertwined, forming a sea of ​​green. Sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, casting patches of golden light on the ground, like gold coins scattered by nature.

"Wow, the trees here are so big!" Chen Yu couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes wide open and full of curiosity.

"Yes, some of these trees have been growing for hundreds or even thousands of years." Youlan explained with a smile, her voice clear and pleasant, like the singing of birds in the forest.

As we delved deeper into the forest, the trees grew taller and thicker. Some trunks required several people to wrap their arms around them, their branches towering into the sky like giant pillars reaching for the heavens. The path beneath our feet was clearly man-made, yet it bore the marks of time. Huge claw marks, deeply embedded in the ground, resembled the footprints of ancient beasts. Trees along the roadside also bore the marks of being broken, evidently from the impact of immense force.

"Is this road often damaged?" Chen Xiner asked cautiously, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"That's right." Su Yu nodded, his expression becoming serious. "There are many powerful monsters in the Kongsheng Forest. This road always needs to be repaired regularly."

Chen Xiner looked around. The dense woods seemed to be hiding countless pairs of eyes, watching their every move. She couldn't help but shudder, feeling the surroundings were eerie and terrifying, and goosebumps appeared on her skin.
