Joyful Moments, swaying gently, in this Leisurely Cloud of passing time, who is in love? Who is parting?
Golden Years, lush and green, in that dazzling life like Blossoms, who is waiting, who is giving up? Is it the person we meet and love, or is it that love itself?
I have no desire to fill my mind with these chaotic and trivial matters. The love I understand is steady, silent, and powerful—a feeling that quietly flows and gradually fills my heart. I won’t speak of it or explore it, but I understand. We are all struggling, compromising with the Secular world and our own convictions. It feels like an endless whirlpool that obscures our view of each other. Should I give up everything to stay by his side, or should he abandon everything to follow me? Both choices would cut our hearts in half. We cannot force each other to decide, nor can we convince ourselves. Perhaps we are just hoping for a Miracle to happen, a way for everything to work out perfectly, but that feels a bit self-deceptive. Yet despite this, I am still willing to wait—for an Opportunity, for the day when my Hope arrives.
It may be a long wait, but we can walk slowly to its rhythm...
Sighing softly, who will open their eyes for me?
“Young Master, Young Master, Master Li has collapsed again…”
I wiped the sweat from my forehead without turning around and said, “Take him to Azure Thorn. He will know what to do.”
Yun Ying responded quickly and left.
“Young Master—” Xiao Quanzi’s voice emerged again.
“What now?” I replied impatiently. I was busy tending to this patient whose condition was severe. He had a persistent high fever every day. I simply couldn’t spare time for anything else.
Hearing my impatience, Xiao Quanzi stammered, “Young Master, we’re out of herbs…”
“Herbs… aren’t they provided for free by the palace? Go ask their supervisor for more…”
"But those Imperial Physicians said that Silver Pine Needle is out of stock... there are no supplies left."
"What are we going to do? That's the most important ingredient in the prescription; it can't be missing. What about Azure Thorn?"
Xiao Quanzi whispered, "Lord Qing also said it's gone. He's really overwhelmed right now."
After brainstorming countless solutions, I finally set aside my work and decided, "You take care of him for a bit; I’ll go find some herbs and look around nearby..."
Xiao Quanzi replied, "Alright."
This herb is hard to find. I hurried to several nearby medical halls and pharmacies, but Silver Pine Needle was mysteriously absent everywhere. It felt as if they were deliberately working against me. I heard that there’s a place called Liang Minshan nearby where this type of pine needle can be found. Without further thought, I asked for directions and headed straight to Liang Minshan. Azure Thorn had painstakingly developed the formula; without one of the ingredients, it would all be useless. There were so many people waiting for this medicine to save their lives; I couldn’t afford to delay even for a moment.
The mountain path was steep, and the peaks stretched endlessly into the distance. The white mist swirled around the mountains, giving it an eerie atmosphere. Along the way, I happened to encounter a woodcutter coming down from the mountain. The old man told me that Silver Pine Needle could only be found on a cliff opposite the main peak, separated by a ravine. This meant I had to climb around the back of the mountain to reach the cliff on the other side.
The journey was quiet, occasionally interrupted by birdsong or animal calls. This scene reminded me of Prajna Valley, which was also very tranquil, with winding paths leading up the mountain and babbling streams. The dense underbrush suggested that few people had ventured here.
After much effort, I finally reached the summit. Goodness! If it weren't for the lack of herbs and their life-saving properties, I would never have climbed to such a remote place, not knowing what wild beasts might appear. If something like those monsters in Prajna Valley showed up, I doubted I could escape.
All along the way, I felt something strange, as if someone were following me. It was truly unsettling.
Upon reaching the top of the mountain, I finally understood the grandeur of that saying: "To stand atop a peak and survey all beneath." It truly felt like being above all living beings in the world. I closed my eyes and welcomed the strong winds sweeping across the mountaintop with open arms, ready to indulge in this moment...
Then a sinister voice interrupted me, saying, "Facing death itself, you still seem so at ease; that's quite rare, heh heh..."
I was startled and turned my head, only to find it was him!
