After hearing what Wanyu said, Paimon interjected: “Is it to leave the letter with the secret?”

Wanyo nodded, “Well, besides, it can also be regarded as a souvenir.”

“My grandfather rushed home, but his great-grandfather had already died of illness, and the father and son could not see each other for the last time. Since then, my grandfather often stood in front of the bonsai in a daze.”

Manyo slowly talked about those past events.

“Later, my grandfather also started making bonsai, but unlike my great-grandfather, he didn’t like green plants. Instead, he liked to put rocks in the pots.”

“Perhaps it was because of the influence, my father also inherited this preference. In those years, the yard at home was full of bonsai of various colors.”

Wan Ye looked at the porcelain basin in front of everyone, “This porcelain basin has been passed down to my generation as a family heirloom.”

“It must be no accident that he can appear here and even become the entrance to the illusion. It’s like… giving me a chance to make up for my regrets.”

Manyo expressed his guess.

“One thing to say, if you look into it carefully, you will find that the images of the four generations of the Fengyuan family are very well portrayed.”

“Maplehara Yoshitsune, Maplehara Kutsuchi, Maplehara Keiharu, Maplehara Manyo.”

“I just found out that the Man’ye family has only given birth to boys for generations, what a boy.”

Ying asked: “Regret?”

Manyo nodded, “I come from Inazuma, and my family, Maple Plains, could be considered a famous family in the past.”

“…The incident of the Five Thunderbolts caused the Fengyuan family to plummet. As of my generation, the family has fallen into decline.”

“I didn’t want to be wanted, so I ran away from Ina Wife. Fengyuan’s family left the building empty, and this bonsai was taken away by the government along with all the other utensils in the house.”

“If I have the chance, I would like to do what my ancestors did, carving the famous mountains and scenery I have traveled with my own hands and placing them in heirloom bonsais.”

There was some hope in Manyo’s face.

“Suddenly I am looking forward to the stories of the other three people later.”

“By the way, who will continue the bloodline of the Feng Yuan family!”

“But I feel that for a person like Ye Zi who has no desires and needs, the Maplehara family may have no descendants, and Wan Ye can only accept a disciple to continue the Isshin Tradition.”

While the water friends were chatting, Wanyo continued: “Since the contents of this pot can affect the illusion, I also want to try to do some handicrafts.”

“Style-wise…”

Wanyo touched his chin and thought for a moment, then continued: “Well, should I choose the plant-based bonsai that my great-grandfather liked, or the rock-based bonsai that my grandfather and father liked…”

“It seems that rocks are more suitable for me.”

Manyo quickly came up with the answer.

Paimon asked curiously: “Is there anything needed to make this kind of bonsai?”

Manyo: “I think we should prepare a set of tools and some stones that can be processed into decorations.”

After hearing Wanyo’s words, everyone was ready to help him search together.

“Try your luck.” Xin Yan said, “Since the bonsai is here, things related to it shouldn’t be too far away.”

“Indeed! Wan Yeqing, search for it to your heart’s content.” Fischer said loudly: “I will also lead the crowd to help you find the lost secret treasure.”

Wan Ye said gratefully: “Okay, thank you all.”

Later, the group, together with Manyo, found the items and tools used to decorate the bonsai around, and then returned to the bonsai again.

Only after they came in this time did they realize that they were in a different space than before.

And just like last time, only Manyo is not here.

After some decryption, the group came to a room.

Through the screen window of the room, you can see the figures inside and hear the voices inside.

Kaedehara Keiharu: “Okay, that’s enough. Manyo, you came just in time. What do you think of my stone carving?”

Manyo: “Smart and interesting.”

“Stupid!!!”

“Manyo’s round head is so cute, hahaha!”

“Father-in-law! Meet the parents, right?”

At this time, Kaedehara Keiharu continued: “Haha, this is the mountain scenery I saw from the book. There are many towering and famous mountains in other countries. If I have the chance, I really want to go out and see them.”

Manyo: “If you want to go, you can leave at any time.”

Kaedehara Jingchun: “You can’t say that. I am the head of the family now. Although the Kaedehara family is far from what it used to be, there is nothing less that should be done.”

“but……”

When talking about this, Kaedehara Keiharu also hesitated a little, “Is it really worth it to stick to the path of my fathers like this and devote everything to the family business that once fell?”

Manyo: “Father, I… don’t understand.”

“Manye.” Kaedehara Keiharu solemnly confessed: “I hope you remember one thing.”

“Family is important, but one cannot stick to it.”

Family exists because of people. If we ourselves are miserable, how can we make our family happy? ”

“What happened in the past affected the family a lot. But it shouldn’t be a burden that our children and grandchildren should bear.”

“If one day you are tired of the boring life, leave some behind and go out for a walk. Remember, don’t let life constrain you.”

Wan Ye nodded seriously: “Yes.”

“Like father, like son. Both father and son are very open-minded.”

“Isn’t this the family concept in Neon Country? They generally put family above all else. Wanyo’s father is obviously a different kind.”

“Because their family has fallen into decline. After trying hard, they found that they still can’t rise again. In addition, the Maplehara family’s family tradition prefers to place their love on the mountains and rivers, so they hope that the next generation will not be bound by the family.”

After listening to the conversation between father and son, the water friends learned more about the past of the Maplehara family.

Afterwards, Ying and others continued to explore deeper.

Not long after, they came to a dojo and saw some past events.

A tall samurai came to Maplehara’s house to challenge him.

Samurai: “I’ve heard about your name for a long time, and I’m here today to pay a special visit to Mr. Fengyuan. Please give me some advice!”

Kaedehara Hisamichi: “It is Manyo’s luck to be able to compete with a soldier like you. Manyo, fight!”

Although that was said, it was naturally Ying and the others who were on the stage for the competition.

After solving the opponent simply and neatly, the group continued to move forward and soon arrived outside another room.

“Let me go, How tall is Wanyu now? Isn’t it a joke to compete with such a samurai?”

“Why did you kill the visitor with a knife (dog head)?”

“I’m Maplehara, I’m here to fight (bushi).”

While the water friends were discussing, Manyo and his father in the room seemed to be arguing about something.

Manyo: “Please forgive me for not understanding!”

Jingchun: “Wanye, have you forgotten the agreement between us?”

“Do you really want to give up all this?” Wan Ye said excitedly: “Even…even if we have a hard life, you still have me by your side. Can’t I help you?”

“When you were as old as me, you were already worrying about grandpa. Is it because I am too incompetent and let you down, or…”
