Morning.
The first ray of sunlight slowly shone upon the valley of the Enchanting Forest.
Falling petals fluttered in the air.
Flowers and grass grew everywhere.
Even though there was sunlight,
the water in the Enchanting Forest
was bone-chillingly cold.
It was as if the snow-capped mountain in the back still existed.
It was clearly the warm spring season,
but the man in the green robe, bathing in the sunlight, felt no warmth at all.
His slender and attractive fingers gently stretched out.
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
He quietly watched the peach blossoms falling from the sky.
Deep in his eyes,
there was still a hint of a smile.
The women and children who were cleaning in the Enchanting Forest saw this and silently walked around the man in the green robe.
The man was truly extremely beautiful.
Even though he had white hair,
it didn't make him look old at all. Instead, it added a touch of immortality.
How many years had it been?
He couldn't remember how many years it had been.
Since they could remember, this master had always lived in the Pure Heart Palace.
At that time,
they were just children.
Now that they had grown up, the master remained unchanged.
He always liked to sit alone by the Snow River, then look up into the distance in a daze. Occasionally, a smile would appear on his lips.
"Has the master always been so unapproachable?"
"Of course. From when we were kids until now, have you ever seen the master smile at us?"
"Only when those young masters come will the master show different expressions on his face."
"But every time those young masters come, they stay for too short a time. Until now, I've never even heard a single word from our incredibly beautiful master."
"Maybe the master just doesn't like to talk?"
A sixteen-year-old girl asked in a low voice.
The other women quickly shook their heads and lowered their voices even more. "I wonder if our master can't even talk at all?"
When the little girls heard this,
their faces were filled with sadness.
"What a pity."
"Sigh— The most beautiful person I've ever seen since I was a kid is the master."
"The master isn't fierce, but he doesn't like people either. Although he's good-looking, I always feel creepy when I'm with him."
"Yeah, the atmosphere when being with the master is so low."
"It's cold. Too cold."
Saying this,
the little girls couldn't help but shiver.
"What are you girls doing, whispering secretly here instead of doing your work?"
Several older supervisors walked over.
After scolding the little girls, they told them to leave quickly.
After the young girls left,
the man wiped the sweat from his head.
"Really. They don't think at all about what they should say and what they shouldn't. These charming women."
"Master Poison Master, what they said is wrong, but why doesn't Brother Feng ever explain?"
The little boy who had always been by the man's side spoke up.
His eyes were full of innocence.
The man picked up the little boy.
"What do you know?"
This little boy had an extraordinary background. He was the son of Xiaodu, a child adopted by a charming master a long time ago.
Xiaodu was poisoned since childhood and was known as the Poisonous Boy.
Later, after being treated by the Peach Blossom Fairy and the Saint Doctor in the Enchanting Forest, his body improved a lot, and most of the toxins were removed. Later, Xiaodu met a woman he liked and got married.
However,
the child he gave birth to
also had toxins in his body.
Although he couldn't be called a Poisonous Boy,
the flowers and plants he touched would wither immediately. When the master in the Enchanting Forest saw this, he took the child to his side to raise him.
The little boy also followed the Poison Master around all day long. Now he had learned a lot of skills.
This child's identity was different. He had suffered a lot after birth. Now he was like a precious treasure in the Enchanting Forest.
Even the cold-hearted Master Yun, the Poison Master, couldn't help but like him.
On normal days,
if someone else dared to bother Master Yun, the Poison Master, with such questions, they would not only be scolded but might also be beaten with a cane.
But when it came to this little boy,
although he blamed the boy on the surface, his hands still involuntarily picked him up.
"Master Poison Master, you still haven't answered me. Why doesn't Brother Feng like to talk? And he never explains when facing the misunderstandings of these sisters."
"Kid, what do you know?"
"I know that Brother Feng just doesn't like to talk. He can talk. I've seen Brother Feng talking to his jade flute several times. They all say that Brother Feng is crazy and has hysteria, but Master Poison Master, Brother Feng is such a god-like person. How could he be sick?"
"Brother Feng doesn't look like a sick person either."
Master Yun, the Poison Master, tapped the little boy's nose.
He didn't know how to explain it.
He could only let out a long sigh.
Finally, he changed the topic. "You really are an impolite child. Everyone in the Enchanting Forest has to address him as 'Master'. Moreover, your father also calls the master 'brother'. Although they're not related by blood, at least you should call the master 'uncle'. But you're good. You call the master 'Brother Feng' every day. Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you when he returns to the Enchanting Forest?"
As Master Yun, the Poison Master, spoke,
he kept tickling the child with his hand.
The little boy giggled
and didn't forget to explain. "Master Poison Master, you don't understand this. Although Brother Feng and my father are of the same generation, there's a big difference between them. Look at Brother Feng and then look at my father. Brother Feng is so young. Calling him 'uncle' would make him sound old."
"Okay, okay, okay. I can't argue with you, little kid."
"Master Poison Master, why does Brother Feng always stare blankly at his jade flute? I heard from Fairy You that although Brother Feng didn't like to smile before, he was gentle to others. He's definitely not like this now."
Master Yun, the Poison Master, looked at the handsome man not far away
and shook his head.
"Who knows?"
How much did they know about the master's affairs?
Although this master lived in the Pure Heart Palace in the Enchanting Forest,
most of the affairs in the Enchanting Forest were managed by the Great Palace Mistress, Feng Lingtong.
It was said that
the Great Palace Mistress was this master's elder sister.
She was usually very strict with everyone, but towards this master, she really treated him like something that would melt if put in her mouth and break if held in her palm.
Then there was the Second Young Master.
He was usually very naughty.
He always laughed and joked with many people.
But when facing this younger brother, he always put away his playful attitude and looked serious.
He was as careful as he could be.
Anyway,
among all the people in the Enchanting Forest,
this master with white hair and who liked to wear a green robe was the most special existence.
"Master Poison Master, listen. Brother Feng is playing the jade flute again."
The little boy clapped his hands.
His face was full of joy.
"Only—"
"Brother Feng's flute melody is really beautiful, unparalleled in the world, but every time I listen to it, I always feel sad in my heart and can't help but want to cry."
