After traveling through time, my blood became a panacea
Chapter 8: Shocked, Giving Up
"I, I, this, this..." Xu Feng was completely confused and couldn't say a complete sentence. After all, he was also an introverted young man who had never experienced anything in the world in Blue Star, although he still had some theoretical knowledge.
Facing Jinniang's sudden and almost open expression of her feelings, it would be nonsense to say that Xu Feng was not excited. What should he do? Jinniang is a woman, but she has already thrown away her reserve and expressed her feelings. How courageous is that? Can he refuse cruelly? Should he just agree directly? But what about his own safety?
"Jinniang, you, please let me think about it." Xu Feng suddenly fled away from here. He had to leave, and his remaining rationality was gradually disappearing. Facing the beautiful girl in front of him, Xu Feng felt that if he didn't leave, he would immediately agree to the other party.
After rushing out of the door, Xu Feng felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He gasped for breath, leaned against the wall, and slowly sat down.
"If I ask you to stay, are you willing to stay?" Jinniang's words kept echoing in his mind. Thinking that if he agreed, he could live with her forever, inseparable, and live a life that only the envy of mandarin ducks and not the celestial beings could not be envious, Xu Feng's passion could not be quenched.
"Brother Xu." Suddenly, a voice came, interrupting Xu Feng's fantasy of a beautiful future.
"Hmm? Feng Heng, Brother Feng, why are you here?" Xu Feng asked in surprise. The man was Feng Heng from the Feng family, one of the three illegitimate sons of the noble families with whom Xu Feng had traded the Yiqi Pill.
"My uncle's house is in Liuye Lane. I came to visit today and happened to see you." Feng Heng explained.
"So that's how it is." Xu Feng stood up.
"I really didn't expect that Brother Xu is such a talented person. All the doctors in Shiqiao Town thought that the eldest lady of Jindao Gate was beyond help, but she was saved by you, Brother Xu." Feng Heng couldn't help but admire.
At that time, the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect forced all the doctors to gather together. Many of them were taken away while treating patients. It caused a lot of noise and attracted a lot of attention. Although they were all ordered to keep silent afterwards, it was not difficult for other cultivation families to find out. A person like Xu Feng also came into the sight of many people. Feng Heng did not expect that he was the one who traded the Yiqi Pills with the three of them.
"It's mainly due to the precious medicinal materials of the Golden Sword Sect. I just happened to be there." After hearing this, Xu Feng waved his hand and didn't want to talk more. If it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't have to leave.
"Brother Xu is so modest. With the connection to the Golden Sword Sect, you will be rich and prosperous in the future." After saying that, he suddenly lowered his voice, approached Xu Feng, and whispered, "Brother Xu, I seemed to see you coming out of that widow's house just now, right?"
"Well. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Seeing Feng Heng looking mysterious, Xu Feng asked puzzledly.
"Brother Xu, listen to me, you'd better have less contact with that widow."
"Why? Isn't it just an ordinary family?" Xu Feng was shocked and asked in confusion.
"Ordinary? Brother Xu, what kind of place is Willow Leaf Lane? Those who can settle here are either from a cultivation family, or powerful people with a cultivation family or even the Golden Sword Sect as their backer. An ordinary family, an orphan and a widow with a few servants, occupying such a good mansion would have been swallowed up long ago." Feng Heng's words shocked Xu Feng. He had never investigated this matter in depth.
"To be honest, all the cultivation families in Shiqiao Town, even the Golden Sword Sect, follow a rule when dealing with that family, which is to have as little contact as possible and not offend them."
"Why, why?" Xu Feng's tone was a little dry, and a certain inherent impression in his heart was collapsing.
"Because the widow came from a famous cultivation family in Wushuang County, and she was the eldest daughter of the family. I heard that the cultivation family had a strong man of the third rank, and there was more than one, so powerful that it was unimaginable. But she was a love-struck woman. Because she fell in love with a scholar in our Shiqiao Town, she refused the family's marriage and insisted on marrying an ordinary person. So she was driven out of the house and ended up here."
"Although she was kicked out of the family, blood is thicker than water after all. Moreover, her husband has passed away due to illness. Who knows if she will be taken back one day. So no one dares to offend her. Even if there are those who are blind, they will be dealt with by the Golden Sword Sect. But no one dares to curry favor with them deliberately. No one knows the true thoughts of that family, and it is possible that they will be retaliated against."
No wonder, no wonder Xu Feng had never seen anyone contact Jinniang's family except himself. He originally thought that her identity as a widow was considered unlucky by the wealthy families around her, but he didn't expect there was a more important reason. He used to naively think that he and Jinniang were both solitary and quite similar.
"So unless it is necessary, it is better for Brother Xu to have less contact with her, and not to have any improper thoughts. That widow is not someone that anyone in Shiqiao Town can get involved with."
"Wait!" Xu Feng suddenly thought of a serious problem. "You said she came from a powerful cultivation family with a strong man of the middle third rank, and she is also the eldest daughter. Then, is she herself a strong man of the middle third rank?"
"That should be it." Feng Heng frowned and thought for a while. "For such a powerful family, every family disciple, especially the direct descendants, will be trained intensively from a young age. It is not difficult for them to enter the ninth rank. After all, such a powerful family has terrifying resources. At least our Shiqiao Town Jindao Sect is completely incomparable. Unless you have no talent for cultivation at all, you are a born useless person. And since the direct descendants can be arranged by the family for marriage, it is impossible for them to not even be of the ninth rank. If that were the case, it would simply be a disgrace to the entire family."
Xu Feng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar when he heard this, and his heart was filled with endless chills. She was an entry-level expert, she was actually an entry-level expert. She had never mentioned it, let alone revealed it. I had always treated her as an ordinary person, and I had almost no guard in front of her. How could this happen? How could this happen? Did she discover something? Did she have other intentions when she just tried to persuade him to stay? Xu Feng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his mind was churning.
"Brother Xu, what's wrong with you?" Feng Heng seemed to notice something was wrong with Xu Feng.
"No, nothing." Xu Feng forced a smile, but his expression was still ugly.
"You don't have to worry too much. Just be careful in the future. After all, you are a young man full of vigor and vitality. I also met the widow by chance once. She is from a big family and has a great temperament. It's normal for you to be tempted." Feng Heng patted his shoulder and comforted him. We are all men, so there is nothing we don't understand about the little thoughts in her heart.
"Brother Feng, I'm grateful for your kindness." Xu Feng bowed to Feng Heng.
"It's a small matter. We're one family, no need to be polite." Feng Heng said seemingly nonchalantly.
"By the way, I got some rewards from the Golden Sword Sect last time, and I also refined some Qi-boosting pills. I happen to have a bottle with me now, so I will give it to Brother Feng as a token of my appreciation." Xu Feng took out a small porcelain bottle, which contained twenty Qi-boosting pills.
"This, how can this be done?" Feng Heng's face lit up and he rubbed his hands nervously, not daring to accept it directly.
"Take it. It was originally made for the three of you."
"Okay, then I won't be polite." After hearing Xu Feng's words, Feng Heng stopped being pretentious, quickly snatched the porcelain bottle, took a quick look at it, and the smile on his face became even more intense.
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries and then said goodbye to each other.
I was so stupid. Even though it was only a short moment, I actually thought about staying with you for the rest of my life!
Xu Feng felt sad, and his steps were firm, without any hesitation. Jinniang's status as a strong person of the first rank completely destroyed any possibility between the two of them. He didn't dare to gamble on human nature.
After quickly packing up the last few things, Xu Feng first found the pawnbroker to cancel the sale of the small courtyard, then put the house deed into an envelope and handed it to an honest farmer named Erniu, who had treated his mother for free and was a simple and trustworthy person. He told her the address of Jinniang and asked him to send it there two days later. Xu Feng hurriedly hired a carriage as quickly as possible without any nostalgia, and left Shiqiao Town with Xiao Hei.
