The First Heir

Philip took a deep breath and stepped into the courtyard. As soon as he entered the yard, he felt that it was unusually peaceful. Many things were planted in the yard. There were also two raccoons and a labrador. Several bird cages also hung around the yard with the birds twittering away noisily.

The place was full of vitality…

In the middle of the yard was a pond with beautiful pink lotus flowers in full bloom. It was surrounded by a small vegetable garden with many vegetables. It was pleasant rural scenery.

Philip walked along the stone path for about 50 meters past the gates and saw another yard. There was a hundred-year-old date tree in the yard with lush branches and leaves with many green dates hanging from them. It was not the season for the dates to ripen. There was a bamboo reclining chair beneath the tree where an old man in a white martial art uniform was lying. He was leisurely fanning himself while humming a tune.

Philip stood at the door, and the old man suddenly stopped his movements as if he sensed something. He got up and looked at the door. He looked at Philip with the kindest smile and said, “Little Phil, is that you?”
