After finishing the letter, Gu Fanchu carefully folded the letter paper and put it into the envelope. He then called a trusted servant and gave him detailed instructions:

"This letter must be delivered to Master Shi personally without any delay!"

The servant nodded in understanding, took the letter and hurried away.

After arranging the delivery of the letter, Gu Fanchu got up and went to the courtyard where his grandmother, the old lady, lived.

When he arrived at his grandmother's residence, Gu Fanchu saw that his grandmother was sitting on the couch with her eyes closed, so he walked forward quietly to greet her.

When the grandmother opened her eyes and saw that it was Gu Fanchu, a kind and gentle smile immediately appeared on her face, and she asked with concern:

"How come Fan'er has time to come and see grandma today?"

Gu Fanchu quickly replied with a smile:

"Grandma, of course I miss you. And I have something else I want to tell you."

Then she told her grandmother in detail about her plan to go to the village to handle some matters.

After listening to Gu Fanchu's words, Grandma thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"In that case, you can go ahead. But be careful on the road and don't let grandma worry."

After getting his grandmother's consent, Gu Fanchu expressed his gratitude with joy.

Afterwards, Gu Fanchu returned to his residence to pack his luggage, took a few followers and necessary items, and the group set off for Zhuangzi.

Along the way, the spring breeze blew, the sun was shining, and Gu Fanchu was in high spirits, full of anticipation for the upcoming trip to Zhuangzi...

When they arrived at the village, Fang Bo had already ordered people to clean the entire yard thoroughly and keep it in order.

As soon as Gu Fanchu stepped into the courtyard, he rushed towards where the two masters were.

From a distance, one could see a large tree with lush branches and leaves standing like a giant umbrella in the small courtyard specially prepared for them.

Under the shade of the trees, two masters were playing chess leisurely.

One of the masters was plump and rosy-faced, and his smile was as amiable as that of Maitreya Buddha;

The other one was thin with distinct bones, but his eyes were bright and showed a shrewd look.

These two people are Gu Fanchu's master chef and junior chef. Although time flies, their mental state is still as vigorous as before.

Seeing this scene, Gu Fanchu couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart, and his eyes turned slightly red.

She quickened her pace, hurried forward, bowed deeply and respectfully, and whispered:

"Master, Master."

Looking back, in order to compete for who would be the master chef and who would be the junior chef, the two old men really put in a lot of effort and competed to show off their talents and abilities in front of her.

At that time, Gu Fanchu was still young and innocent. In the end, he was deeply attracted by the strange and bizarre poisonous insects and beasts raised by the old Taoist priest, and thus the two of them became friends.

The fat master's Buddhist name is Shanyuan. It is said that this name was chosen by him himself, implying that he hopes to have a kind, peaceful and tactful heart.

As for the thin old Taoist, his name was Qingfeng.

There is an interesting story about the origin of his Taoist name - there is a kind of fine wine in the world called Qingfeng. This wine has a mellow taste and a fragrant aroma, which makes the Taoist love it, so he named it after it.

At this moment, there was a suffocatingly tense atmosphere between the two players playing chess, as if a fierce battle was about to break out.

However, at this critical moment, a clear and pleasant female voice, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, suddenly came, like a stream of clear spring flowing into this tense space.

The two of them raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

In an instant, their attention was attracted by a figure.

The figure gradually approached, and a graceful woman was seen standing there.

Her appearance was as dazzling as a firework that suddenly bloomed in the night sky.

Looking closely, I felt that she was somewhat familiar and somewhat strange, but I could still recognize that she was the little girl from before!

But she has changed drastically now compared to how she was in my memory.

When she was in the mountains, she was just a naive little girl, but now she has grown into a stunning beauty.

Her black and shiny hair was carefully combed into an exquisite and neat bun, with a jewel hairpin sparkling with bright light inserted diagonally on it, making her look smart and gorgeous.

Look at the dress she is wearing. Its style is unique and novel, and its cut is well-fitting, perfectly outlining her graceful figure.

This outfit makes her look even more noble, elegant and beautiful.

However, despite such a huge change in appearance, people can still feel a sense of familiarity when they gaze into her eyes.

Those were still the same pair of clear, bright, charming eyes like autumn water, filled with endless tenderness and intelligence. Just one glance could make one fall in love with them.

Qingfeng first stretched his body slowly, then stood up suddenly. His hearty and loud laughter instantly resounded throughout the room:

"Hahaha! Little girl, it's been a while since we last met! Look at you now, you've grown a lot taller than before! How are you? Are you doing well in the capital? Have you encountered any interesting things or made any new friends?"

At this time, Shanyuan was sitting quietly aside. After hearing Qingfeng's words, he raised his head slightly and looked at the little girl with a faint smile on his face.

Gu Fanchu smiled brightly, his gaze slowly moving towards the thin figure beside him and the familiar atmosphere between the two of them. He felt a warm current instantly surge into his heart.

These two people seem to be at odds with each other on a daily basis, but in fact their relationship is closer than anyone else's.

Looking back to the past, when they taught her medical and poison techniques, although they always criticized her mercilessly and despised her for being stupid, they would patiently explain every thing and every detail in extreme detail.

In fact, at the beginning, she had no expectation of meeting these two masters in Beijing.

It was because a long, long time ago, when she was still young, they had told this little person in person that the reason they resolutely left the troubles of the world and chose to retire to a beautiful place was simply because they were tired of the intrigues and struggles.

At this moment, looking at the two very friendly faces in front of him, Gu Fanchu could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart and said excitedly:

"Master Chef, I'm fine! I really miss you guys so much! I originally thought that you would definitely not want to set foot in this troubled place of the capital..."

After all, they have been together day and night for so many years, how can they easily give up the deep and strong friendship between master and apprentice?
