In the days that followed, Shen Luo and Lu Huaming made their way back to Chang'an, walking and stopping, eating and drinking, which, indeed, allowed Shen Luo to spend a comfortable period rarely experienced.
However, as they neared Chang'an, Lu Huaming suddenly received a secret order from the government officials, instructing him to deal with other matters. This brought an end to the wonderful time of traveling together, leaving Shen Luo to continue the journey alone.
More than a hundred li outside Chang'an City, near the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, lay a Thousand Acres Peach Forest.
Come the sunny days of March, the peach blossoms burst into bloom over the entire mountain. The entire Thousand Acres Peach Forest dressed in pink make-up, the fragrance of flowers filling the wild, attracting countless phoenix butterflies.
