May. A warm spring day.
People had switched to lighter clothes and simple cloth shoes. With a straw hat on their heads and a hoe over their shoulder, they were ready for the fields.
After sending off Li Chengze and Yu the Elder, An Ning had a new daily task: she would go to the Feng Shui Master's place to memorize his teachings on behalf of his future apprentice.
At first, no one knew about it.
But one time, some villagers went to see the master for a consultation and happened to spot An Ning there.
Just seeing her would have been one thing, but the Feng Shui Master insisted that An Ning perform a reading for them. As it turned out, she was successful.
From then on, An Ning gained a new nickname: the 'little Half-immortal.'
In mid-May, An Ning pulled on a pair of tall boots and headed toward the newly established rice paddies to check on them.
An Ning had established this paddy at Master Tang's strong insistence.
