For some reason, after entering this Rose Garden, Lu Lie felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind. This feeling has not been experienced for many years... It is like returning to the feeling of becoming a fetus.

No... I must have been here! Lu Lie suddenly thought of something and his eyes searched everywhere. After not finding any counterparts in his memory, he began to become a little confused.

Fortunately, his confusion did not last much. Because the old man who had closed his eyes and sat down under the big tree seemed to have noticed that the guest had been brought there, he moved his eyelids slightly and said in a faint voice: "The guest is here... Children, I have some important things to say in private, so you can leave here first."

The little girl who brought Lu Lie into the Rose Garden was hiding behind the old man and knocking on her back. After hearing this, she jumped and ran away together.

After the only one left Lu Lie and the old man in the garden, the old man said again: "Child, you are here. Come on, don't be restrained, just find a stool in this garden and sit next to me. I have a lot to say to you."

Lu Lie hesitated for a moment, but he found a long bench nearby, walked slowly towards the old man, placed it next to the old man's bamboo chair, and sat down. He looked at the old man: "Well... have we ever met?"

"Haha, hehe..." Hearing Lu Lie's inconclusive tone, the old man chuckled softly, "That was a long time ago, and you have forgotten it for a long time. It was a winter. When you were still a child, you were lying in the snow outside the garden and were about to die. At that time, I thought about doing some good deeds, so I brought you in... I didn't expect that such a small thing for me at that time had developed profoundly, changing many people and many things."

The old man opened his eyes. Unlike his rotten and old shell, his eyes were extremely sharp, like two small knives, and he could see any secrets on a person at a glance. He just looked at Lu Lie: "It's been nineteen years, Lu Lie, your body has really changed a lot."

"Haha, is that? Nineteen years have indeed changed many people and many things. Not to mention others, even I am almost unable to recognize myself sometimes."

Lu Lie replied absent-mindedly.

Although he had a certain familiarity with this Rose Garden, Lu Lie still never remembered that he had been here. After seeing him like this for a while, the old man closed his eyes again.

Lu Lie still did not eliminate his vigilance towards this garden. Because his enemies were spread all over the world, even if he fled so far from the imperial capital, even if he had been away from Fenghuo City for a long time, there might be people who were still coveting his head on his neck anytime and anywhere, wanting to present his head to the person who is now sitting in the imperial capital who controls everything.

If there was a slight slightest movement in this garden, he would be ready to rise up at any time and take the seemingly angry old man as a hostage and walk out of the garden.

As if seeing through Lu Lie's thoughts, the old man said lightly: "You seem to be very worried about this place. I can feel that you were chased by others all the way, and you are still very nervous after entering this place. You are like a wounded tiger, ready to suddenly hurt people at any time."

Lu Lie had no intention of denying it at all: "I'm sorry, although it's impolite to say this... but in my memory I can't remember that I've been here. This Rose Garden and you who invited me to come here are all completely unfamiliar with me."

"And I never trust strangers."

After hearing Lu Lie's words, the old man slowly said, "So that's it. Let me see... your memory seems to be missing such a large piece."

Lu Lie refused to comment.

"Do you still remember the first Shikigami you owned on the giant tree, Rose Tiger? Do you remember why you gave it this name at that time? It's because... you remembered that you, as a wandering child, were rescued by the owner of a Rose Garden when you were about to freeze to death in the ice and snow."

Lu Lie's pupils shrank into two points.

When the other party said the word "giant tree", he almost rushed to the old man and held him hostage. But in the end, the dangerous beast Lu Lie suppressed the desire to attack. After the old man said this, the surrounding area of ​​the Rose Garden was quiet, and there was no sign of ambushing soldiers rushing to capture him.

"Who are you?" Lu Lie was angry and afraid in his heart. He took a big step forward and asked coldly.

Why did this old man know about the giant tree? How did he know his past?

Lu Lie is now like a frightened bird. Any little movement will make his nerves tense to the maximum.

The old man narrowed his eyes: "You are so nervous, young man. I seem to have said that I saved you in the cold winter of this city. Facing my benefactor, this is not a good attitude, young man."

Just as the old man's eyes were cut towards him like a knife, Lu Lie felt an instinctive sense of crisis. He could no longer hesitate and rushed towards the old man with a roar. But it was still too late. In front of Lu Lie, all the scenery collapsed. The old man and his bamboo chair disappeared under the shade of the tree, and there was also the giant tree that supported half of the Rose Garden. However, the Rose Garden did not disappear, and only Lu Lie was left in the center of the courtyard.

"What is this? Illusion?"

Lu Lie tried to swing two punches in the direction where the old man disappeared just now, but it did not touch any substance.

"Grandpa, can I come in?"

Just as Lu Lie was standing there with a confused look on his face, he heard a tender voice coming from outside the garden. Lu Lie turned his head and saw the old man standing at the door of the garden. Although he was also an old man at that time, he was much younger than he is now and could stand up.

The old man opened the door, and a little head with a tiny head came in, looking at everything in the garden curiously.

"Grandpa, can I really come in?"

"Of course, come in quickly." The old man just touched the other person's little head lovingly and said.

Seeing the child's face, Lu Lie's mind burst out: This is actually his own face in the past!
