In the summer of the Garden of Gardenias, there was a unique charm, with flowers blooming everywhere and birds singing in a delightful chorus, creating a picturesque scene. The gentle sound of flowing water rang out like the most beautiful music, refreshing to the soul.
The midsummer heat in the Federation was still somewhat intense, but the temperature in the Garden of Gardenias was just right—cool and pleasant. Ye Yu glanced at the blazing sun that had already risen and swiftly made his way to the foot of the mountain. Over the past month, he had engaged in numerous Psychic Power contests with Shao Susu, which proved to be far more effective than practicing alone. Recently, Ye Yu had sensed that he was on the verge of a breakthrough; he just needed an opportunity.
Ye Yu's training in Mental Power and body techniques was interconnected. As his Psychic Power grew stronger, he became more adept at refining his own cells. Although there were no signs yet of breaking through to the second level of body techniques, he could clearly feel his progress compared to over a month ago.
With part of Ye Yu's body technique energy returning, he could once again utilize the Lightness Technique he had practiced before, although not as swiftly as before.
The Azure Bamboo Courtyard was not far from the hillside. With a few quick movements, Ye Yu soon arrived at the main hall of the Azure Bamboo Courtyard. Inside, Jin Shan was busy at the dining table in casual home attire, seemingly contemplating how to arrange the tableware more artistically.
"I'm so hungry! Can we eat now?" As soon as Ye Yu entered, he caught a whiff of delicious food that instantly made his appetite surge; he couldn't wait to indulge. After all, both Mental Power training and body technique practice were extremely energy-consuming activities, and Ye Yu was in urgent need of replenishment.
Upon hearing Ye Yu's voice, Jin Shan immediately raised a hand as if warding off a thief and said, "Wait a moment! I need to post this on social media!"
Without waiting for Ye Yu's response, Jin Shan lightly shook his wrist, projecting an image onto the dining table in an instant. He focused on adjusting the angle of the projection until three minutes later, he nodded in satisfaction and declared, "Okay! We can eat now!"
Today, Jin Shan had prepared high-calorie dishes according to Ye Yu's request. All these ingredients were freshly sourced from the supermarket by Jin Shan himself. As for the vegetables, they were grown by him.
"The specialty lamb rice from Western District tastes great—no gamey flavor at all—and it’s infused with some fresh vegetable aromas," Ye Yu remarked as he savored each bite. He knew that Jin Shan had put considerable effort into these meals; as Jin Shan would say, each dish was a work of art!
"Alright, stop buttering me up! You always sound like a food critic during meals," Jin Shan rolled his eyes at Ye Yu and picked up a bowl of congee beside him, sipping it slowly.
"This congee is truly the best! It's made entirely from dew collected from gardenias and paired with scallions I picked at four in the morning. It’s simmered for ninety minutes over a wooden stove—absolutely the most natural flavor," Jin Shan said with an expression of pure enjoyment as if savoring an exquisite piece of art.
"Leave some for me!" Although Ye Yu was not a true food enthusiast, he knew that if Jin Shan said something was delicious, it definitely was.
"You, who don't understand art, might as well skip my congee," Jin Shan said, picking up a delicate napkin to wipe his mouth. "You can figure out your own lunch. I'm heading out."
"Heading out?" Ye Yu thought back and realized that Jin Shan always seemed busy at home.
"Yes, to experience life. Naturally, I need to make friends. I have plans to go fishing with someone, and I can't break my promise." Jin Shan stood up and grabbed a black backpack nearby, clearly having prepared in advance.
"By the way, the person you wanted me to contact has responded. While you were at the back mountain earlier, someone delivered a letter. It should be from the person you wanted to reach."
With that, Jin Shan left without looking back. For a moment, Ye Yu felt a bit disoriented. Was this really the Jin Shan he remembered?
...
"Yu, after receiving your message for the first time, I couldn't get in touch with you again, but knowing you're alive brings us great joy. I didn't expect you to come to Federation Homeworld this time. Please forgive me for not being able to meet you in person; the recent situation is quite severe, and I'm worried it might negatively affect you.
This time I've entrusted my nephew from the family to meet with you. He will bring the items that the Zhou family has kept for you, along with our regards. The meeting location is..."
Ye Yu looked at the familiar handwriting on the white paper and felt a warmth in his heart. Although he had been in Federation Homeworld for several months, he had waited a while before asking Jin Shan to contact Zhou Hongwu just to be safe. After all, the Zhou family had done quite a bit to protect him back then.
The thought of meeting someone from the Zhou family made Ye Yu nervous; after all, he was not someone who could easily be seen in Federation's circles. To most people familiar with Ye Family's situation, Ye Yu was presumed dead.
However, since the Zhou family had preserved several of Ye Family's relics, now that he had settled in Federation Homeworld, it was essential for him to retrieve those belongings. After all, they were the only memories his parents had left behind for him.
Ye Yu collected his thoughts and silently memorized the meeting address. Then, with a gentle shake, the piece of white paper turned to dust. In the next moment, the dust flew outside to the vegetable garden, merging into the soil.
"Right inside the Garden of Gardenias!" Ye Yu was somewhat surprised by the address given by Zhou Hongwu; he hadn't expected such a coincidence to occur in the Garden of Gardenias.
However, since the Garden of Gardenias was quite large, Ye Yu had to refer to the resident distribution map to find the door number: 00, located not far from the Central District. After checking the distance, he noted it was less than two kilometers away. Even without using the Lightness Technique, he arrived within ten minutes.
Like all the other villas in this area, the house numbered 00 had its doors tightly shut, giving off an impression that no one lived inside.
Ye Yu glanced at the identification device outside the door and then patiently waited. Less than a minute later, the door opened. Ye Yu naturally didn't hesitate and walked right in.
At that moment, a tall and muscular man stepped out of the villa. Although he appeared to be quite young, his bulging muscles exuded a sense of strength.
"You must be Yu. I'm Zhou Hongwu's nephew, Zhou Ze!" The newcomer quickly approached Ye Yu and shook his hand.
"Zhou Ze?" Upon hearing the introduction, Ye Yu felt a sense of familiarity with the name.
