Needless to say, the wing rooms of the Golden Sword Gate were luxurious. Xu Feng was resting quietly on the comfortable big bed. He had taken so many high-grade medicinal herbs at once, and needed to digest them well. Of course, he didn't want to stay in the Golden Sword Gate, but it was impossible for him to leave immediately, so he just waited one more day!

By tomorrow, Zhao Mengjiao's injuries should be much better than they are now. She can resign then and Zhao Wuping will probably let her go.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, Zhao Wuping checked Zhao Mengjiao's injuries again. As expected, her internal injuries had improved by 90%. Zhao Mengjiao herself had also woken up, but she was still very weak and could not speak or get up. At this point, there were no more surprises. After several pharmacists in the mansion examined her, they all agreed that it would take at most half a month for her to fully recover.

Zhao Wuping was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude to Xu Feng again. Xu Feng took the opportunity to propose to return home, saying that he was useless here now and that he was not as good as the doctor in the mansion in terms of recuperation. Zhao Wuping was reluctant to leave, but seeing Xu Feng's firm attitude and knowing where he lived, he could always invite him if anything happened, so he reluctantly agreed.

Before leaving, Zhao Wuping personally saw him off. As a reward, Xu Feng did not ask for anything, so Zhao Wuping gave him a gold note worth 1,000 taels of gold and five medicinal herbs that were over 200 years old. Xu Feng did not pretend to be rude and thanked him and accepted them.

After returning to his own courtyard, Xu Feng felt that a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and he felt much lighter. After not coming home all night, Xiao Hei was growling with hunger, so Xu Feng touched him apologetically and quickly got him some food.

"I'm afraid I can't stay in this place for long." Looking at Xiao Hei wolfing down his food, Xu Feng sighed inwardly. Now that he's in the spotlight, many people will notice him, and the possibility of him being exposed will greatly increase. Only by changing places can he continue to be unknown, a nobody, and protect himself. Are you reluctant? Xu Feng shook his head. He had no relatives or close friends, so how could he be reluctant? Suddenly, the figures of a smart little girl and a gentle, dignified and generous woman emerged in his mind. Alas... He sighed, all good things must come to an end! But leaving immediately seemed a bit guilty. In order to reduce trouble, he should wait at least ten days or half a month!

After a few days, it was time for Xu Feng's body to breathe again. This time, because he had swallowed too many herbs at once in the Golden Sword Gate, Xu Feng felt that this time it would be more intense. Since he was now known to many people, and he didn't know if anyone was secretly watching him, in order to avoid suspicion, Xu Feng did not go to the mound at night, but went out with Xiao Hei in the evening.

I bought some food at the market and walked leisurely along the way, as if I was bored. When I reached the top of the hill, the sun had completely set and night was falling. It was not too late and I could still see some people here and there. Xu Feng was not in a hurry and found a relatively clean place and lay down comfortably. Xiao Hei also lay beside me sensibly, shaking his tail from time to time.

"You seem to like this place very much?" Just as Xu Feng dozed off for a while, a voice suddenly came from the darkness.

"Who?" Xu Feng sat up suddenly and turned his eyes to the direction where the voice came from.

"Woo woo..." Xiao Hei also made a threatening sound, with his limbs slightly bent backwards, as if he was about to rush forward to attack.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to see my savior and thank him in person." The person emerged from the darkness. It was Zhao Mengjiao who was lying on the hospital bed a few days ago.

"Miss Zhao." Xu Feng was slightly startled, but his heart was filled with turmoil. Being followed? Then he quickly comforted Xiao Hei.

"I didn't expect that the person who saved me had met me once before." Zhao Mengjiao chuckled, holding a big wine jug in her right hand, and took a big gulp into her mouth.

"Would you like some?" Zhao Mengjiao wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth and said to Xu Fenghao.

Xu Feng shook his head, but Zhao Mengjiao sat beside him carelessly, not at all shy. This was very different from the image of a powerful person that she had when they first met. Xu Feng wanted to stay away from her, but he felt that it was a bit impolite.

"Miss Zhao, why are you here?" Xu Feng asked.

"I went to your place and saw you going out. I found you looked familiar, so I was curious and wanted to see what you were doing. When you came to this place, I suddenly remembered that it was you."

"So that's how it is. Are all your injuries healed?" Xu Feng felt a little relieved.

"Not really, it just doesn't affect my walking anymore. Thank you so much this time. Your medicine is very effective. I survived a near-death experience this time and successfully broke through to the eighth level. It seems that I still have some strength to spare. In a few months, it won't be difficult to break through to another small level." There was a hint of joy in Zhao Mengjiao's tone.

"Really? Congratulations then." Xu Feng said with a smile.

The atmosphere then fell into silence.

"My father said that there is great terror between life and death, but also great enlightenment. Therefore, any top master must have gone through countless hardships and survived countless near-death experiences before he can transcend the mundane world and stand at the top."

"Now I finally understand what he said!" Zhao Mengjiao suddenly sighed.

"I am determined to practice, and in this life, I must step into the ranks of the third-grade warriors!" Zhao Mengjiao clenched her fists and said this to the empty dark night in front of her, as if she was talking to herself.

"Do you think I can do it?" She suddenly turned her head and asked Xu Feng seriously.

"Huh?" Xu Feng didn't know why Zhao Mengjiao said so much to him. Was it because they were of the same age? Was it because he saved her and she had no scruples? Or was it because she didn't have many friends to talk to?

"I'm not a cultivator, so I don't know much about this." Xu Feng smiled. "But there are nine ranks of warriors. Since you've embarked on the path of cultivation, why limit your goal to the middle third rank? Isn't the upper third rank okay?"

"Pfft..." Zhao Mengjiao burst out laughing. "Top third rank? You really dare to think so."

"It becomes increasingly difficult for a warrior to break through a certain realm as time goes by. It is common to spend more than ten or twenty years without making any progress. And an ordinary lower third-grade warrior only has a lifespan of a hundred years. How much time can they waste? An upper third-grade warrior, even a talented disciple from a major sect, must practice with the aid of all kinds of precious treasures since childhood, and have a master to teach him attentively, spending huge resources, before they can have a chance of achieving it. For people like us who come from small sects in small places, to be able to reach the middle third grade is already a great honor." Zhao Mengjiao sighed softly.

"Besides, I am a woman. Do you know that in the thousands of years of cultivation history of Tianfeng Country, the number of female cultivators who have finally reached the upper third level from the status of independent cultivators or from small sects like me who come from the lower third level can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The most powerful among them has only reached the second level!"

"When it comes to martial arts practice, the most important thing is to rely on the individual. What does it have to do with gender?" Xu Feng asked doubtfully.

"Just because the predecessors couldn't do it doesn't mean that they set a limit for you. Since there was the first female cultivator who entered the upper third rank, and the first female cultivator who entered the second rank, why can't you be the first female cultivator from a small sect to enter the first rank or even higher?"

Zhao Mengjiao was stunned. Is this the case of ignorance and fearlessness? First rank? Above first rank? Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know that such a top figure can even influence the world's situation to a certain extent?

Seeing that Zhao Mengjiao seemed a little unconvinced, he continued, "Let me tell you a story." On Blue Star, Xu Feng liked to read novels when he had nothing to do. If he were to ask him which female character in all the novels was the most powerful and impressed him the most, Xu Feng would naturally think it was the ruthless emperor in the book "The Great Ruler".

So, Xu Feng told the story of the ruthless emperor and the bronze mask, making some slight modifications.

Zhao Mengjiao didn't care at first, but then she became more and more absorbed in listening. Until finally her body and mind were shaking violently, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Now you know, he used his mortal body to suppress geniuses from all races, defeated all opponents, and created his own method to restrain the Nine Secrets. His talent is extraordinary and unprecedented. The name of the Great Emperor is resounding throughout the world." Xu Feng said.

"Gugugu..." Zhao Mengjiao took a few gulps of liquor, her eyes blank. "So, should I be like the Ruthless Emperor, ruthless and merciless, and establish my own fierce reputation?"

"No, no, it's not that. My focus is on the path to becoming strong. Gender is not the point. Also, this is just a story I heard from somewhere else. You just need to listen to it, but don't take it seriously. Uh, that's not it. Just don't take it all seriously." Xu Feng felt that he was a little incoherent.

Zhao Mengjiao took a few more gulps of wine, calmed down a little, and said, "I understand. From now on, I won't be confused anymore."

After taking a serious look at Xu Feng, Zhao Mengjiao seemed to realize that Xu Feng was somewhat special, not just in medical skills. She suddenly threw the wine gourd to Xu Feng. "It's boring to drink alone, you should have some too." Xu Feng took it in a hurry, and it was not easy to continue to refuse at this moment, so he raised his head and poured some wine into his mouth in mid-air.

"Cough cough..."

"This wine is so strong!" Xu Feng felt a burning sensation in his throat. He covered his mouth and quickly handed the wine gourd back.

Zhao Mengjiao burst into laughter, and after a moment, she said, "Today is such an interesting day. I will remember it. Now, I should go."

Perhaps Xu Feng was also planning to leave this place. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be the last time they met. Or maybe it was because of the strong liquor. Xu Feng said, "Before we part, I have something to say to you."

"Oh? Really?" Zhao Mengjiao became curious.

"Don't worry about the many obstacles ahead. Everyone in the world knows you! Miss Zhao, I'm waiting for the time when you become famous throughout the world and your reputation resounds throughout the Tianfeng Kingdom." Xu Feng chuckled.

"Who in the world doesn't know you?" Zhao Mengjiao murmured softly, with a strange light flashing in her eyes. She looked at Xu Feng again, nodded heavily at him, and just like the first time they met, she jumped a few times and disappeared completely into the night.
