Grass hut

Where Long Chen's parents (adopted) and Long Xiaoyu moved to in the Eastern Wastelands.
== Description ==
They were living in a simple thatched hut on a hillside a few dozen miles from the village.
The small courtyard outside of the hut was filled with sprouting vegetables. Not far from it, one could also see a stretch of orchard that was blocked by a wooden fence. It was a quiet and content place, isolated from the clamor of the world.
There was a woman Mrs. Long in the orchard, picking a newly ripened fruit. Rubbing it clean with a towel, she handed it to a girl Long Xiaoyu beside her.
There was a stone table outside the grass hut with four stone seats around it. Seeing that fourth seat, he knew it had been prepared for him this entire time, but it had gone empty.
== River ==
The river was only a few dozen meters wide, and the water was very clear and slow-running. It reflected the surrounding mountains. 
A person was sitting on a rock beside the river. He had a fishing rod in his hand and he was staring at the ripples coming from the float on the river. A fish was currently teasing the hook.
Most fish would test the bait a couple of times before eating it to confirm it was edible. Suddenly, the float sank and the fishing rod bent. The fish had taken the bait.
== Sleeping quarters ==
The grass hut only had two beds. One was for Long Tianxiao, while the other was for Mrs. Long and Xiaoyu. Long Chen directly made his bed on the floor.
Long Tianxiao tried to switch with him, but Long Chen refused no matter what. With his current body, even if he were to lie in ice water, he wouldn't get cold.
This night, Long Chen slept particularly soundly. He didn't remember the last time he had felt such a sense of true peace. Furthermore, through Long Tianxiao's instructions, he had a feeling like his heart was growing clearer.
He had to continue his path, but he had to maintain a hopeful heart. If he couldn't find hope, then he still needed to find opportunities to relax. Even if he could only relax for a single breath, it was better than nothing.
He couldn't let his heart feel exhausted like that. Making sure a blade was sharpened to its best state was half the battle. Only by maintaining that relaxed state of mind could he focus his best and face the oncoming challenges. This would increase his odds of victory invisibly.
