Chapter 125: No More Pretense
Spring truly brought delightful scenery.
Among the four seasons of the year—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—each had its own unique charm and benefits. However, if one were to choose the best season for traveling, it would undoubtedly be spring. Even the golden autumn paled in comparison.
Spring was full of vitality and renewal. Walking through such a world lifted one’s spirits considerably.
The Daoist walked at a leisurely pace toward Changjing, appreciating the scenery along the way. His demeanor was so serene that it was as if he had simply slept in the mountains last night and this morning.
The same road offered different views when traveling back and forth, with the scenery changing each time.
He walked from morning to mid-afternoon, and finally arrived back in Changjing. Once in the city, he made his way slowly toward home.
Then, he suddenly passed by a restaurant. The restaurant was magnificently built, with an ancient charm and an eye-catching sign. If it weren’t for the government regulations, the entrance might have taken up half the street. The sign displayed the words “Yunchun Restaurant.”
The Daoist couldn’t help but stop and look up. It was only mid-afternoon, and many of the city’s prominent residents had already adapted to the three meals a day routine, yet the restaurant still had a table of customers dining. As soon as the Daoist paused at the entrance, a waiter promptly came over to greet him.
“Would you like a meal or to make a reservation?”
