This man is named Xu Wenlin, the caretaker of the Spiritual Medicine Garden at Chushuang Lake.

He used to help manage the Spiritual Medicine Garden at Huiquan Stream, but moved out after Chen Xun arrived.

He didn't want to miss this centennial event and had some personal matters to attend to, so he wouldn't be back for several years. He wanted Chen Xun to take care of the spiritual herbs for him.

Chen Xun had inquired about him and heard from the two senior brothers guarding outside that this person wasn't eccentric, just had some peculiar habits.
