A few hours later, after passing through a long and narrow valley, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear——
The mountains are covered with lush green forests and mist. In the low-lying valley in the distance, you can vaguely see countless pavilions standing there. They are thick and majestic. The Yaowang Valley is naturally located inside.
In the open space in front, a huge stone engraved with three Chinese characters "Yao Wang Valley" also shows where this place is.
Next to the boulder, still the same as the previous time, there were two disciples holding a stall asking for medical advice, as well as a long queue of people coming to seek medicine.
"We're here." Jingfeng stopped the carriage and helped Long Shengna get out.
Holding the opponent's slender wrist, Jing Feng turned a blind eye to the angry or sarcastic looks of those waiting in line and walked straight towards the two disciples.
Although the two disciples were dressed similarly, they were not the same two as last time. Apparently, the disciples who came down from Yaowang Valley for consultation took turns.
One of the disciples saw Jing Feng and Long Shengna walking through the crowd. His face immediately became solemn. He stood up and said, "You two must be the first ones back. Please queue up consciously for medical treatment. Don't damage our Yaowang Valley." According to the rules, if you insist on cutting in line, you will not be welcomed!"
Jing Feng clasped his fists towards the disciple who was speaking. Just as he was about to explain his purpose, he saw a disciple next to him suddenly staring at him blankly.
I was sure that I didn't know that person, but the other person stood up slowly, with a trembling voice: "Nana? Is that you?"
Jingfeng turned his head in disbelief and saw Long Shengna lowering her eyes with a coy look, and couldn't help but feel curious.
The disciple who called Long Shengna's name said something to the person next to him, and then walked towards Jingfeng and Long Shengna.
"Do you know that person?" Jingfeng asked.
"I know...he is Cao Yi, the son of Elder Cao Yushu."
Long Shengna was not as excited as she imagined when she met old friends.
Secretly observing the reaction of Jing Feng next to him, he seemed quite at a loss.
"Nana, it's really you! How wonderful!"
The disciple named Cao Yi by Long Shengna was handsome and tall. After meeting Long Shengna, he immediately walked quickly with a face full of joy.
He spread his arms, but this eager gesture made Long Shengna a little uncomfortable and she took a step back unconsciously.
Noticing Long Shengna's gesture, Cao Yi stopped awkwardly, and then noticed the scenery that came with Long Shengna.
"This brother is a bit unfamiliar, he must be Mr. Jing Jingjing, right?"
Jingfeng was a little surprised, "Do you recognize me?"
"I heard my father mention it. When I saw him today, he was indeed an extraordinary young man!"
The polite bragging made Jingfeng very happy, and he immediately gave in politely and humbly said: "Brother Cao is so complimentary."
"The journey is difficult, Nana has to take care of Mr. Jing along the way." Cao Yi looked away from Long Shengna and said with fists in his hands.
"You're welcome." Jingfeng returned the greeting, but for some reason, the other person's words seemed a little strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Then just follow me, Nana, watch your step."
He stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and at the same time, Cao Yi reminded him softly.
Long Shengna seemed a little sensitive and didn't answer. She just tightened her grip on Jingfeng's clothes.
"Brother Cao, please lead the way, please." Jingfeng patted the back of Long Shengna's hand comfortingly, and then followed.
"These two people are acquainted with Elder Cao. I will take them up first, and I will leave this place to my junior brother first."
"Senior brother, you're welcome." The disciple who scolded Jingfeng earlier, but at this time, it was unclear whether it was related to anything, and he responded happily.
"Hey, what's going on with that guy?"
"Is this the rule of your Medicine King Valley?"
"Is it possible to open a small stove just by knowing your disciples?"
Jingfeng's move naturally caused a lot of commotion among the Wuyangyang crowd, and it was the same last time.
Those who lined up to ask for medicine were mostly casual cultivators, and there were also wealthy gentry from ordinary and troubled times. They were all a little angry at this moment.
"Others are related to the elders of our sect. If you are, you don't have to queue up."
The light words came out of the mouth of the remaining disciple, but they were so resounding that those who were immediately struck were speechless.
Looking back, Jingfeng couldn't help but shake his head.
Yaowang Valley, which is highly praised by the outside world, still seems to be unable to escape the mundane situation. If you have connections and connections, it will be easy to get things done. It seems to work everywhere.
Jingfeng thought silently in his mind as he and Long Shengna walked behind Cao Yi.
"There are so many people seeking medical treatment and medicine every day. Your Medicine King Valley only sends two disciples. What should you do if you encounter someone who breaks in?"
After walking for a while, Jingfeng suddenly asked curiously.
"Haha, Mr. Jing is overly worried. There is naturally a magic circle arranged by our Medicine King Valley on the outside. Only the disciples and elders who wear the sect's waistband can come and go freely. Otherwise, no matter how much effort is expended, it will just be a blur. Flower, it is impossible to find the location of Yaowang Valley."
Cao Yi, who was walking in front, turned around and smiled, his eyes fixed on Long Shengna, and he didn't look away for a long time.
"That's it." Jingfeng said suddenly, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
It is not difficult to see that Cao Yi should like Long Shengna, but it would be too obvious to show it, right?
Jingfeng didn't speak anymore after that, but Cao Yi would say a few words of greetings from time to time. Of course, the object of his attention was still Long Shengna, but the latter did not make any eager response.
After about a cup of tea, the three of them arrived at Yaowang Valley. Just like last time, they did not stop at any place, but walked through the wide streets and went straight to Longfu Hall.
"This is it. Mr. Jing should have been here once."
Cao Yi said with a smile that was as refreshing as spring breeze on his face: "Although my father is not well-known in Yaowang Valley, he is also an elder. I need to go and ask for instructions first. I also ask Mr. Jing to wait here for a while."
Jingfeng nodded, and then Cao Yi said to Long Shengna: "Nana, let's go and see your father."
"What about Jingfeng...?" Long Shengna looked at Jingfeng and seemed to be thinking about it.
"It's okay, you go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here."
Jingfeng had a look of relief on his face and waved his hands easily, and then Long Shengna followed Cao Yi and left.
Oh, this is treating me as an outsider.
Jingfeng smiled bitterly in his heart, but it was not incomprehensible. He had already learned from Long Yecheng that he was on good terms with Cao Yushu, and it was natural for their children to know each other well. Besides, Cao Yi liked Long Shengna very much, so he should be more sensible.
Just when Jingfeng was thinking wildly, a figure slowly approached.
"My little friend, you're fine."
Jingfeng raised his eyes and saw that it was Cao Yushu, so he clasped his fists and said, "I have met Elder Cao."
"Why are you here alone?" Cao Yushu asked with one hand behind his back and stroking his beard with the other.
"I met Young Master Ling outside the valley earlier, so he brought me in. Young Master Ling took Long Shengna to look for you just now. I didn't expect to meet you first."
"I see." Cao Yushu nodded slightly.
"They should go visit Brother Long. My dog doesn't understand the rules and makes the little friend laugh. You can come with me."
"Okay." Jingfeng didn't shy away and quickly followed.
"Mr. Cao has heard about what happened in Beikai City. There is no need to say more about this difficult and dangerous situation. I will definitely reward my little friend well later."
"Elder Cao is polite. The Long family has also helped me save my life. There is no reward. Besides, the things you gave me earlier are precious enough. Jingfeng is not a person who forgets his loyalty when he sees profit." Jingfeng was generous. said.
"Okay, Long Yecheng really saw the right person!"
Cao Yushu turned around and cast an appreciative look, "However, I see that you are full of energy and blood and have no hidden injuries, which is quite surprising."
"This is all thanks to the elixir given by the elder, otherwise I, Jingfeng, would not be so lucky."
"Although the Fu Ling Pill is highly effective, it varies from person to person. Even if it is precious, it is worth the money if it can be put to use."
Cao Yushu's words were like an enlightenment, which not only opened up the situation, but also made Jingfeng respect him more.
Following Cao Yushu, the two passed through Longfu Hall and came to a secluded courtyard, which was where Long Yecheng cultivated himself.
Just as he walked to the door, before he crossed the threshold, Jingfeng heard a voice coming from inside, which seemed to be filled with a lot of resentment, so he stopped and listened carefully.
"...Uncle Long, that Jingfeng is just an outsider, why bother to offend the Ming Dynasty for him?"
"My dear nephew, take back what you just said... ahem... Jingfeng saved Nana's life after all. How can I, Mr. Long, be an ungrateful person?"
"Dad! Cao Yi, you don't understand at all. Jingfeng was also in danger and came back to save us. Without Jingfeng, I'm afraid I would have been worse off than dead..."
"But the Long family's huge foundation was also destroyed. If Jingfeng hadn't offended Li Changsheng, how could he have ended up in such a miserable way?"
"That's nonsense. Li Changsheng's coveting of my Long family did not happen overnight. It's just a matter of time... But I, Mr. Long, don't regret it. I just suffered a lot for Nana..."
"Dad, it doesn't matter, as long as you are still alive, Nana will be satisfied..."
The quarrel gradually became quieter, but Jingfeng felt unhappy when he heard it, and his face dropped.
Cao Yi was friendly to him on the surface, but he was disgusted in his heart. Thinking about it, what he said was not unreasonable. The key was that he had offended Li Changsheng, and the Long family was just the target of Li Changsheng's thunderous methods to scare the monkeys.
"What stupid thing did this little beast say?"
Apparently Cao Yushu heard the conversation just now and heard every word. He immediately wiped his sleeves and pretended to go in and teach Cao Yi a lesson.
However, Jingfeng stopped him and said, "Elder Cao, wait a minute. What Mr. Ling said is true. The Long family has suffered unreasonable disasters because of me. I feel a little self-righteous."
"If Li Changsheng doesn't do human affairs, what does it have to do with you?"
Jing Feng felt guilty and said with a wry smile: "The bad things Li Changsheng did are true, but the harm suffered by Long Shengna and Uncle Long is also true. I stay here, and I want to expose their scars at this time. I hope Elder Cao will take care of them." Two of their parents.”
"That's natural, but what do you mean by these words?" Cao Yushu vaguely guessed Jingfeng's thoughts, but still couldn't help but ask.
"Elder Cao is of course trustworthy as a young man. I don't think I'm suitable to stay here... If Long Shengna or Uncle Long asks, just say that Jingfeng has something to do and has left."
After saying this, Jingfeng clasped his fists heavily at Cao Yushu, then turned around and left, seemingly without any nostalgia.
Watching the young man's tall figure fading away, Cao Yushu didn't say the words of reluctance in his mouth after all, and turned around and entered the courtyard.
