Tumblr media Tumblr media
Part 1 features a scene from Volume 1, chapter 16 - where Di Feisheng and Li Lianhua meet for the first time in ten years ~
Li Lianhua looked up and sighed softly, his eyes looking a little desolate and lonely as they shone in the silvery moonlight.
He turned around to gaze at the empty courtyard. There were several clusters of peonies there. At this time of year, only a few snow-covered branches were left. Nothing was attractive about them, but he still gazed at them.
He stood quietly in the courtyard for a long moment. Finally, he stepped to the side and turned to leave.
After walking slowly for about ten steps, Li Lianhua stopped in his tracks and turned his back to the flowers.
“Who’s here?” he asked calmly.
The courtyard had been empty just earlier as he stared at it, but now, standing there in the snow among the peonies, was a man. His hands were clasped behind his back, and it seemed as if he had been standing there for a long while.
“Your hearing is even better than before,” the man said flatly. His tone had no emotion like he was neither speaking to a friend nor an enemy.
“You were heavier on your feet when you landed… ” Li Lianhua smiled gently, “...Di Feisheng.”
Li Lianhua continued, “Even though you have taken the Weeping Guanyin, your injury from back then can’t be healed in merely a day or two. It's no wonder you don’t want to leave footprints on the snow, the sound of your movement could even be heard by peddlers and petty thieves.”
The man in the peonies was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"Even after everything that has happened to you, you're still the same Li Xiangyi after all."
Even though the man's tone didn't change much, there was no denying the sincere admiration in his voice as he spoke the words.
Li Lianhua chuckled, "Thank you. And you're still the same Di Feisheng after all. I thought there was no cure for your injury from our battle in the East Sea. How did you find out about the Weeping Guanyin? Human beings are so resourceful in this world."
Standing among the peonies, the man in the green robes and cloth shoes seemed a little surprised, "Your temperament has changed a lot over the years."
Li Lianhua smiled gently, "And yours hasn't changed at all."
Di Feisheng didn't answer.
