As Ye Feng erged from the backyard intending to find Hong Qingyan and the other two ladies, he was inford that they had gone shopping. He simply smiled at this and decided to take a tour around the Divine Doctor Sect.
Nowadays, the Divine Doctor Sect's reputation was incredibly prominent in the entire imperial city, not just because of the celebrity status of Ye Feng, but also due to their superb dical skills. After all, to forge iron, one must be strong themselves. Almost every official and noble would co to the Divine Doctor Sect for treatnt of their minor ailnts.
However, the Divine Doctor Sect had an odd phenonon—the dical fees for those officials and nobles were often exorbitantly high, but for the ordinary folks, it was very cheap, sotis only costing one or two pieces of money.
Moreover, on the first and the fifteenth of each month, the Divine Doctor Sect wouldn't receive these officials and nobles. Instead, they opened their doors wide to provide free treatnt for the impoverished people, with a cap of fifty ordinary patients each of these days.
At first, these officials and nobles of the imperial city were very dissatisfied, claiming it was unfair, extrely unfair. So even from powerful aristocratic clans ca to argue about it. But when they learned that Ye Feng was the man behind the Divine Doctor Sect and that this policy had been personally established by him, they wilted like frosted eggplants and dared not let out a peep.
After touring the vast Divine Doctor Sect, it was already midnight, and Hong Qingyan, Long Nannan, and Yu Feiyu had not yet returned. He couldn't help but give a wry smile, thinking that there's truth to the saying, "three won make a market." Now that the three of them were together, they probably unleashed their feminine nature and went on a relentless shopping spree at luxury malls.
Ye Feng certainly wouldn't say anything; in fact, he was quite understanding. Hong Qingyan had always been more reserved and even seed depressed due to her ordinary background and low cultivation level. Now, as her cultivation level had improved, her confidence had grown, and she could treat Long Nannan and Yu Feiyu as equals, which was definitely a good thing.
It wasn't until twelve o'clock that the three won returned to the Divine Doctor Sect, still not having had their fill of shopping. As Ye Feng had guessed, each woman carried big and small bags in their hands, all looking extrely happy.
"Little Martial Uncle, do you know what we just did?" Long Nannan called out as soon as she entered.
Ye Feng thought to himself, could he not know? It was probably the sa few interests, and each of them was carrying quite a number of things, after all.
Seeing that Ye Feng didn't engage with her, Long Nannan suddenly deflated, like a balloon losing air, and complained, "No fun, not fun at all. Little Martial Uncle, you really don't know how to play along with others."
Hong Qingyan stepped forward, smiling and saying, "While shopping, I picked out a few robes. I wasn't sure which style you'd like, so I bought two of each, traditional and modern."
Ye Feng smiled and replied, "As long as you bought them, I'll like them."
"Nah, nah, nah, here you go again, so cheesy. I'm so full just watching you two," Long Nannan pretended to gag.
Yu Feiyu, standing to the side also carrying big and small bags, had intended to co forward as well because she had also bought sothing for Ye Feng. But seeing that Hong Qingyan had already spoken, she felt rooted to the spot and even felt a sense of loss at that mont.
She suddenly wanted to cry, but she knew she must not cry then. She had to be strong, especially in front of Big Brother Ye, she must not show it. Otherwise, eting each other in the future might beco very awkward, and it was even possible that there would be no more chances to et.
So, Yu Feiyu imdiately suggested with a smile, "It's already quite late. Why don't you girls stay at the Divine Doctor Sect tonight?"
"Oh yes, oh yes, tonight, the three of us sisters will sleep together. We'll leave Little Martial Uncle out. Fun, this is going to be so much fun!"
At this, Long Nannan suddenly turned her head and glared at Ye Feng, "But rember Little Martial Uncle, you can't co looking for us tonight. It's dark and easy to get confused. You wouldn't want to accidentally embrace the wrong person and wake up with a big ss."
"..." Ye Feng was speechless. He couldn't respond to that, so he just shook his head, pretending he hadn't heard.
Hong Qingyan then said, "I'll do as Big Brother Ye says."
After thinking for a mont, Ye Feng said, "No, I still have things to take care of at Northern Cloud Residence. Let's go back. Feiyu, if you want to be with them, you might as well go back to Northern Cloud Residence too. It's more lively when everyone is together."
Yu Feiyu didn't expect Ye Feng to make such a proposal, and she was montarily stunned.
The carefree Long Nannan certainly couldn't perceive the subtext. She imdiately walked over and said, "Co on, Sister Feiyu, let's go to Northern Cloud Residence together. You don't know, but Little Martial Uncle's bed is so big and soft, really comfortable to sleep in."
This comnt really made Yu Feiyu simultaneously laugh and cringe, while also sowhat embarrassed. Nevertheless, Long Nannan's words did cheer her up quite a bit, and she nodded in agreent, "Since that's the case, I'll go with you. It's good timing too, there's nothing much happening at the Divine Doctor Sect now."
Long Nannan was imdiately overjoyed, clapping her hands and saying, "Great, Sausage Sister is also at Northern Cloud Residence. When we go back, the four of us can make up a table. Oh, by the way, Sister Qingyan, Sister Feiyu, do you play mahjong?"
"Not usually, but I can play," both Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu said in unison.
"That's fantastic, I don't know how, but can you teach ? I've heard mahjong is really fun. Let's bet treasures, one treasure per round, I want to win all the treasures off you!" Long Nannan beca incredibly excited.
Ye Feng could only keep shaking his head upon hearing this, thinking that he might not have any role to play tonight. "Three won make a market," they say, and indeed, there wasn't a speck of untruth to that. Soon after, they all left the living room together and imdiately headed back to Northern Cloud Residence once seated in the car.
As for the injuries of the four guards, they were not serious, and their Source Qi had now stabilized. Tomorrow, Ye Feng would only need to infuse so more Source of Luck and then provide them with a prescription for them to secure and gradually recover their health. Whether they could return to their peak condition was ultimately up to them.
The night had grown deep, and with springti in the air, the streets were filled with floral scents. Ye Feng and Hong Qingyan were sitting in the back of the car, Xiao Chuanqi driving in front. Ye Feng had planned to lean back and rest for a bit, but suddenly felt a twinge between his brows, detecting an unusual odor.
This scent was different from the fragrance of flowers along the street, and despite having driven past two streets already, it did not dissipate.
"Hmm?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, and the ntal Power Nucleus in his Sea of Consciousness began to spin rapidly, spreading his spiritual power out like a tide.
However, to his surprise, he found no abnormalities within a hundred miles.
"How could it be that my spiritual power detects nothing? Could I be mistaken?" Ye Feng thought inwardly. His intuition was telling him soone was following them surreptitiously, yet he couldn't even sense them with his spiritual power. This implied either he was mistaken or the person in hiding was terrifyingly skilled—so much so that even Ye Feng might not be able to contend with them. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he would not act recklessly.
Hong Qingyan, sensing sothing amiss, asked, "What's wrong, Big Brother Ye? Is sothing off?"
"No, I just suddenly noticed the street flowers sll quite peculiar," Ye Feng said with a slight smile, not sharing his concerns with Hong Qingyan to avoid worrying her.
If indeed soone with the power to evade his spiritual power was following them, then that person's cultivation level was likely unspeakably terrifying, possibly even beyond Ye Feng's capacity to confront. Hence, until it was absolutely necessary, he chose not to make a move.
When the car rounded two more streets and finally returned to Northern Cloud Residence, Ye Feng stepped out of the car. Again, that strange scent reached him, and once more he spread his spiritual power to check the surroundings, but still, he discovered nothing.
"Let's go, Sister Qingyan, let's head to the backyard!" Long Nannan grabbed Hong Qingyan's arm as soon as she exited the car, clamoring to imdiately go to the backyard.
But by that ti, Hong Qingyan had noticed sothing odd about Ye Feng's deanor and, naturally worried, suggested, "You go ahead and get ready, and have a bath. I have sothing to deal with here, I'll join you as soon as I'm done."
"Alright then, Sister Feiyu, we'll go to the backyard first!" Long Nannan, who was always carefree, naturally failed to notice anything unusual.
At the mont Ye Feng withdrew his spiritual power, in the courtyard next to Northern Cloud Residence, beneath the eaves of a corner house, a man in a black night suit with a tall figure secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself with a chuckle, "This kid is really sothing, to detect an anomaly just like that. Lucky I have a Magic Treasure to conceal my form, or I would've been discovered."
"To go in or not, to tell her everything or not?" The man in black seed to wrestle with his uncertainty, then suddenly thought, "Twenty-four years, a whole twenty-four years. I thought it would be impossible to find her. Since The Heavens arranged for us to et again, let's see each other. Otherwise, we'll both live with regret."
With that, the man's figure vanished into the nightti shadows of the corner wall without warning.
At this mont, Ye Feng had calmly arrived at his study, taking a seat at his desk. He thought that if soone was truly following him, they would probably want to see him, so he decided to wait in the study, believing that the person would soon reveal themselves.
"As expected, here they co!" Ye Feng felt a stirring in his heart as he gathered his stance.
But in the next mont, Ye Feng's gaze sharpened because he realized the newly appeared figure wasn't moving towards his study but instead sorsaulted in the air and headed directly toward the left courtyard, where Hong Qingyan was—and she was alone.
"Not good!" Without a second thought, Ye Feng soared through the air, flying toward the left.
anwhile, Hong Qingyan was placing her bags down and had just poured herself a cup of water at the table. But no sooner had she finished drinking than a figure suddenly materialized before her.
Hong Qingyan was taken aback, ready to cry out and defend herself.
The man in black commanded in a stern voice, "Please stay calm, I an no harm. My surna is Hong, and I am here to reveal the secrets of your heritage to you."
At these words, Hong Qingyan imdiately stifled her cry and simultaneously reined in her montum.
Just then, Ye Feng, who had reached the outer yard, was about to barge in when he overheard this statent and, like being struck by lightning, he halted, choosing not to advance further.
"The aura of this person, no, sothing about him is so similar to Qingyan... Could this person possibly be..." Ye Feng noted with his spiritual power and was taken aback. Now, he finally understood who this person was to Hong Qingyan.
