"Big Brother, you're awake!" When Long Fan woke up again, he didn't know when it was. The first thing he saw was Liu Qingyi's worried eyes.
"Why am I here?"
"Big brother, have you forgotten? Yesterday, you said that you wanted to look at that tree for a while longer, but you didn't come back after a long time. I went to look for you and found that you were asleep. Alan said that you were overworked.”From the perspective of outsiders, an ordinary person would definitely not be able to sleep peacefully in such a dangerous environment like Tian Ye. Therefore, it was normal to feel tired after leaving Tian Ye. So Shen Qing's diagnosis was not wrong and Liu Qingyi did not pursue further.
"How long have I been asleep?" Long Fan rubbed his dizzy head and asked Liu Qingyi casually.
"It's already the afternoon of the second day.”Liu Qingyi looked at him with an expression that said," You're really good at sleeping."
"Big brother, don't worry, I've already asked around. This place is not far from Tianyong City. As long as we reach there, we can quickly return to the empire.”Liu Qingyi said with a smile, afraid that Long Fan would worry.
"Qingyi, my goal is not to go to Sky Night. The reason why I appeared here is because of an unexpected change. Do you know how far your Tian Ye Empire is from the Jia Ma Empire?”Long Fan knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he told Liu Qingyi the truth.
"What is it? Big brother, you want to go to Jia Ma? This place was still several countries away from Jia Ma!”When she heard that Long Fan's target was the Jia Ma Empire, Liu Qingyi's face was filled with shock.
"Just tell me what you know!”
"Speaking of which, I have never been to the Jia Ma Empire. I can only tell you about it based on the geographical location that I have an impression of. The Jia Ma Empire's location was close to the Bei Jing Empire. It was located at the intersection of Xi Zhu and Bei Jing. From Tian Ye to Jia Ma, one needed to cross the Zhen Gu Empire, Tian Hong Empire, Liu Yun Empire, Huai Ning Empire and Chu Yun Empire. This was not the most troublesome part. The most troublesome part was that they had to cross the Spirit Medicine Peak to get from the Tianhong Empire to the Liuyun Empire. The Spirit Potion Peak was much more dangerous than the Night Forest, so the two countries separated by the Spirit Potion Peak rarely came into contact.”
" Spirit Potion Peak?"
"It's the Spiritual Medicine Peak that has the title of the Five Great Desolate Regions of West Bamboo. This place was rich in all kinds of medicinal herbs, and the higher the peak, the more precious the medicinal herbs were. The Liuyun Empire once had plans to take over the Spirit Medicine Peak, and their Saint King personally went to conquer it. In the end, he could only walk to the middle of the mountain peak before turning back. In the future, no one would dare to have any ideas about the Spirit Herbs Peak. However, to reach the Liuyun Empire, one did not have to climb over the mountain peak. They only had to go around the side. But even so, it was still very dangerous.”
"Big brother, if you want to go to Jia Ma, I can help you.”Seeing Long Fan's thoughtful expression, Liu Qingyi hesitated for a moment and said.
"Oh?" Long Fan looked at him curiously.
"Although there is no teleportation space between countries, each country has a teleportation space with the host country. I can get big brother to teleport from Tian Ye to West Bamboo and then from West Bamboo to Jia Ma.”Long Fan's eyes suddenly lit up. This idea was not bad. At the same time, Long Fan was curious about Liu Qingyi's identity again. The teleportation space between the empire and the main country could be said to be exclusive to the royal family. No matter how noble an ordinary noble's identity was, he would not be allowed to do so. Could he be from the Heavenly Night Imperial Family?
"Qingyi, I appreciate your kindness. I have my own plans.”Long Fan smiled and rejected this tempting idea. He had his own concerns. On the surface, the four kingdoms were harmonious, but they were secretly on guard. This was especially true for Xi Zhu, who was rumored to not have a Dou Di within their country. Their level of vigilance would definitely be higher than the other three countries. If he were to use the teleportation space to directly descend, he would definitely be interrogated. Moreover, before he mastered the Four Symbols Avatar Technique, he would not be able to hide it from an expert of a higher level than him. According to the Dragon God's judgment, there must be quite a number of Immortal level experts in the four great nations.
"Young Master, you're awake. That's great!”A childish voice rang out. Long Fanfan seemed to be recalling something as he looked at the child who had appeared in the room.
"Lil Hao, why are you here? Is Dr. Sherwood not back yet?”Liu Qingyi patted the child's head affectionately. Long Fan then remembered that this was the child from the village yesterday.
"Yes, but it's good that Young Master woke up. I've finally completed Doctor Shen's task.”After saying that, Xiao Hao had a happy smile on his face, as if he had made a great contribution.
"Does Dr. Sherwood often leave early and return late like this?”Looking at Little Hao's innocent smile, Long Fan asked gently.
"Young Master, you can call me Little Hao! You are Doctor Shen's benefactor, so you are the benefactor of our entire village. Our village is very far from the town, so all the herbs were personally picked by Doctor Shen. Without him, our village wouldn't be here.”
"The Qingyi Mountain Road is dangerous. Go and fetch Dr. Sherwood back! I'll just stroll around the village. Don't worry.”Long Fan said to Liu Qingyi with a smile.
"Thank you, Young Master!" Hearing Long Fan's words, Lil Hao said happily.
"Alright big brother, but don't go too far.”Liu Qingyi couldn't refuse Long Fan's request, so she walked out of the door.
"Let's go, little one. Bring me around your village!”Long Fan stood up from the bed and said to Little Hao.
"Young Master, my name is Little Hao." The little fellow muttered softly and led Long Fan into the village.
"Xiao Hao, is your grandmother feeling better?”In front of a clanking iron shop, a tanned man asked Xiao Hao in a rough voice. The iron weapon in his hand blossomed into a fiery red flower as he continuously struck it.
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Wang. I'm much better after taking Doctor Shen's medicine. Doctor Shen said that he would recover after resting for two days. Why didn't Uncle Shen go play chess with Uncle Zhao today?”Lil Hao enthusiastically chatted with the big man. The simple atmosphere made Long Fan feel a little touched.
"Hehe, your Auntie Li's chopper is broken, so I'll make one for you. Right, the person beside you is a guest of Doctor Shen's family.”
"En, yesterday Physician Shen was injured and was saved by this Young Master.”
"So it's our village's benefactor. Wang Tao represents Zaojiao Town to thank Young Master for saving us.”Wang Tao put down the hammer in his hand and thanked Long Fan. There was no trace of falsehood on his face.
"Brother Wang, you're too kind. In fact, if it weren't for Physician Shen, the two of us wouldn't have been able to leave the mountain. Therefore, he could no longer mention saving her.”Long Fan had underestimated Shen Qing's position in Zao Jiao Town and it seemed that helping him made the villagers owe him a favor.
"Hehe, after I finish my work, I will definitely treat Young Master to a few drinks. Let Lil Hao bring you around for now, then we'll find Young Master for a drink tonight.”Wang Tao said with a smile. Then, the sound of knocking rang out again.
"In that case, I won't disturb Big Brother Wang anymore. Farewell!”
In the following period of time, Long Fan fully experienced the warmth of this Zaojiao Town under the guidance of Little Hao. Aunt Li who embroidered, Lady Zi Yun who arranged flowers, Shopkeeper Feng from the cloth shop, and Old Zhang from the grocery shop were all amiable people. In this remote town, Long Fan experienced the peace and tranquility of a paradise. In fact, Long Fan did not know that the residents of Zaojiao Town were very resistant to outsiders. They did not like people to break the peace of the small town. The reason why Long Fan received preferential treatment was because of Shen Qing.
In the blink of an eye, it was already dusk but Shen Qing and Liu Qingyi still did not return. Long Fan stood quietly at the entrance of the village. The huge locust tree looked even more dazzling under the afterglow of the setting sun. "Lil Hao, so you're here!”With a low grumble, a slightly skinny figure appeared at the village entrance.
"What happened, Brother Wenqi?”Xiao Hao looked at the young man with a puzzled expression.
"Your grandmother is awake and looking for you. Go home and take a look!”Wen Qi said anxiously to Xiao Hao, but the trace of nervousness that flashed in his eyes did not escape Long Fan's eyes.
"Grandma is awake? That's great, but when he heard the news brought by Wen Qi, Xiao Hao's face was filled with joy. Then, he looked at Long Fan with a hesitant expression.
"It's okay, Xiao Hao. Your grandmother is awake, so you should go back quickly! Please send my regards to her. I'll go visit her with Alan later.”Seeing Little Hao's worries, Long Fan patted his head and encouraged him.
"That's right, Xiao Hao. You should go back quickly. I'll just stay here and accompany Young Master Luo.”Wen Qi smiled and comforted Xiao Hao.
"Alright then, thank you, Brother Wenqi. Young Master, I'll go back first." After greeting Long Fan, Xiao Hao jogged towards the village.
After Lil 'Hao left, the scene immediately quieted down, and the talkative Long Fan seemed to have become reserved and had no intention of speaking. "Um, Young Master has been looking around the village for the entire afternoon. What do you think of our village?”Wen Qi finally couldn't stand the loneliness and started the topic. As Wen Qi spoke, the corners of Long Fan's mouth curled into a smile.
"Very good. It's a peaceful and peaceful place.”Long Fan said succinctly and then fell silent again.
"Actually, the environment around our village is not bad. It's still early, so why don't I bring Young Master somewhere else for a walk?”Wen Qi then looked at Long Fan with anticipation. However, when he saw Long Fan's gaze, he subconsciously lowered his head.
"Alright! I'll have to trouble Brother Wenqi then." Long Fan thought for a moment and agreed. He said to Wen Qi with a smile.
"Then please follow me." Wen Qi took the lead and walked out of the village. Long Fan followed after Wen Qi. Under the setting sun, their shadows gradually elongated.
"Brother Wenqi, why haven't I seen you introduce the surrounding scenery along the way?”Long Fan stopped in his tracks and looked at Wen Qi in confusion.
"There's nothing special here, so there's nothing to introduce. The real scenery is ahead. Let's walk a little longer.”Wen Qi's eyes flickered a little, and his words were a little stuttered.
"I see. In fact, the scenery here is not bad. At least it's quiet." Long Fan casually looked around and said as if he was referring to something.
"Is that so? Let's continue walking!" Wen Qi did not turn back and continued to walk forward. Long Fan followed closely behind and looked around curiously.
Suddenly, Wen Qi, who was leading the way, stopped. He seemed to be struggling. "Young Master Luo, it's already late. Let's go back.”After a moment, Wen Qi turned around and said to Long Fan.
"I think Doctor Shen and the others should have already returned. They would be anxious if they did not see you. Why don't we come back tomorrow?" Seeing that Long Fan had no intention of leaving, Wen Qi persuaded him nervously. "Hehe, I don't think it's up to us to leave now.”Long Fan suddenly said with a smile, his eyes staring straight ahead.
"Wha... What?"
"Young man, you're very sensible! Unfortunately, you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended. In that case, I'll have to ask you to stay.”A gloomy voice was heard as a middle-aged man pushed a wheelchair over. Seeing the person in the wheelchair, Long Fan immediately understood. "So it's you." Long Fan smiled and greeted the young man in the wheelchair.
"Humph! Why don't I see your brothers? This Young Master is a little too worried.”Looking at Long Fan's indifferent expression, Lu Hao's face was filled with resentment.
"Plop!" Seeing the two people who appeared, Wen Qi's legs went limp and he sat on the ground. "Useless thing!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and a purple energy shot towards Wen Qi on the ground. "Bang!" The force exploded on the ground, leaving a crack, but Wen Qi was not hit. Looking at the cracks on the ground, Wen Qi's face suddenly turned pale.
"It's you?" Seeing Long Fan pull Wen Qi away in advance, the man was surprised. He sized up Long Fan for a while but could not find the reason.
"This matter has nothing to do with him. Let him leave!”Long Fan said indifferently.
"Humph! You're still so self-righteous. What do you think you can decide?”Lu Hao said disdainfully.
"I'm doing this for your sake. The residents of Zaojiao Town are united and won't cause trouble for an outsider like me. However, he is from the village, so it must be no secret that he brought me here. If he encounters something bad, the villagers will not let it go. Of course, with your strength, you are naturally not afraid of a group of villagers without battle energy. However, Zaojiao Town is famous for its special effects. Presumably, some of the forces would not want him to suffer a disaster!”Long Fan faintly reminded.
"Forget it, Hao 'er. He's our target anyway. Let him leave when he's an outsider, so as not to cause any more trouble.”The middle-aged man stopped Lu Hao and said with some apprehension.
"Alright then! Everything will be up to Second Uncle."
"Alright, Brother Wen Qi, you can go back now. Don't say anything to my brother.”Long Fan said as he pulled Wen Qi up from the ground. There was no hint of resentment on his face.
"Plop!" Wen Qi knelt in front of Long Fan. "Young Master Luo, I have let you down. I should not have been coerced by them to do such a thing.”Wen Qi sobbed and knelt in front of Long Fan.
This time, Long Fan did not help him up immediately because he was already stunned. He finally understood why Wen Qi wanted to go back on his word when they were almost at their destination. He was not afraid of going against his conscience to harm the innocent but was afraid that he would not be able to face Shen Qing. At this moment, he understood one thing. Alchemists might be able to obtain the admiration of the world by relying on their brilliant alchemy skills, but they could not obtain the respect of the world. This was because the biggest difference between an alchemist and a physician was that a physician possessed a benevolent heart that could save the dying and heal the wounded. The Purple Dress Marquis could change the path of pill concocting, but he couldn't change their hearts. At this moment, Long Fan began to respect doctors!
"Go back! They deliberately schemed against me. It won't change whether you're around or not. I don't blame you." Long Fan helped Wen Qi up and said indifferently. Looking at the middle-aged man and Lu Hao, Wen Qi knew that he couldn't help, so he turned around and walked towards the village.
"Humph! Let's see who can save you now!"
"Haha! We really can't save him."
In Zaojiao Village, Liu Qingyi and Shen Qing finally rushed back under the afterglow of the setting sun. Looking at the peaceful atmosphere in Zaojiao Town, Liu Qingyi had an ominous feeling. "Doctor Shen, you're finally back!”Seeing the two of them enter the village, Lil Hao ran over in a hurry. Behind him, a middle-aged woman also ran over.
"What's wrong with Lil Hao? Where's my big brother?" Seeing Xiao Hao alone, Liu Qingyi felt even more uneasy.
"Doctor Shen, I'm sorry." Without waiting for Little Hao to speak, the woman behind her cried out and apologized to Shen Qing.
"What's going on with Auntie Li? Get up first." Shen Qing was also confused as she hurriedly helped Furen up and asked. Aunt Li finally calmed down and began to explain to the two of them.
"Boom!" A moment later, a powerful aura burst out from Liu Qingyi's body. The sword in his hand buzzed under the effect of the warrior energy. " Where's the Shuanghe Stronghold?!" Liu Qingyi was no longer as refined as before. His expression was now filled with killing intent.
"Brother Liu, please calm down. The Twin Stockade has been entrenched here for many years and is not something you can deal with.”Seeing Liu Qingyi's unstable emotions, Shen Qing quickly tried to dissuade her.
"Clang!" With a sword hum, a three foot long blade was placed horizontally on Shen Qing's neck. "Speak!" Liu Qingyi had obviously lost her cool.
"Ten miles north of the village." Seeing that Shen Qing was in danger, Xiao Hao hurriedly said.
Liu Qingyi slowly sheathed her sword and looked towards the north. "Brother Liu, don't be rash. I believe that Young Master Luo doesn't want you to act rashly.”
"You guys still hope that my big brother can be safe and sound!”Liu Qingyi interrupted Shen Qing's words and said coldly. Then, a pair of purple wings appeared behind him, and his figure quickly flew in the direction of Shuanghe Village.
"Sigh!" Looking at Liu Qingyi's disappearing figure, Shen Qing let out a long sigh.
