Chapter 84: Zi Yan

The next morning, Xu Feng excitedly ran to the butler to ask for silver. However, what made Xu Feng want to cry was that the butler piled a heap of silver coins and let him take as much as he wanted. But looking at the shiny silver coins, Xu Feng felt his heart bleeding.

Although the shiny silver coins looked great, how much could he carry with his two hands? On a long journey, could he really carry dozens of pounds of silver?

" Butler! Can we discuss this? Can we exchange it for silver tickets or something like that?" Xu Feng looked at the butler seriously.

" Silver tickets?!" The butler frowned in confusion, then reacted and said, "You mean the bank pass? Sorry, only the master has such a pass in the family, none of us do."

Xu Feng looked at the pile of shiny silver coins, feeling his heart bleed. Oh, how torturous! Carrying this pile of silver wouldn't kill him, but Xu Feng thought Xiao Rong was so generous, and had already planned for this. How could someone be so shameless? Xu Feng felt like crying; he was being bullied too much!!!

" Xu Feng! How much do you want? I need to report to the master!" The butler looked at the angry Xu Feng and asked cautiously.

Xu Feng glanced at the butler, walked to the pile of silver coins, casually picked up five ingots, and left without looking back.

The butler was equally surprised to see Xu Feng take only five ingots. Although the master had calculated that Xu Feng couldn't carry much, it shouldn't be this little, right?

The butler naturally didn't know what Xu Feng was thinking. Otherwise, he would have kicked Xu Feng to death. At this moment, although Xu Feng was reluctant to leave the silver, he had a good idea: once he reached Hecheng, he would ask Xiao Yilin's father for the reward in Xiao Rong's name.

The reason would be that he had saved the Xiao family once, and Xiao Rong had rewarded him with ten thousand taels of silver. But since the Xiao family in the small town didn't have it, he would ask the senior master to pay!

Xu Feng thought that since Xiao Rong wasn't in Hecheng, there was no fear of being exposed.

If Xiao Rong knew Xu Feng had come up with such a despicable reason and was demanding so much, he wouldn't say a word and would immediately give Xu Feng a bank pass. Ten thousand taels? Do you think silver is as easy to come by as bricks?

Leaving the Xiao family, Xu Feng headed east. At this point, Xu Feng was already a well-known figure in the small town. Wherever he went, people looked at him with awe. Xu Feng ignored these looks, although his injuries weren't fully healed, his speed was not slow. He walked to the only road leading out of the town to the east.

There were only two roads out of the town, both passing through a steep canyon. However, for Xu Feng, who had reached the Spirit Realm, this was no problem. He easily passed through the canyon, which made anyone who just looked at it feel dizzy. However, Xu Feng thought that Xiao Yilin would be scared passing through here. The young woman looked brave but was actually very delicate.

Xu Feng walked quite easily, occasionally studying the various Daoist talismans he had obtained, and occasionally practicing a few. His injuries healed very quickly, which amazed him. He thought that if he couldn't survive in this world, he could become a fortune-teller and still do well, at least with these Daoist talismans, he was already a half-decent doctor.

" Be careful! Don't let these beasts get close to the young lady." As Xu Feng was on his way, a voice suddenly came from ahead. Xu Feng followed the voice and saw a convoy surrounded by a pack of leopards.

The leading man watched the leopards warily, holding a sharp sword tightly, and together with the convoy, they surrounded a carriage in the center.

" Roar..."

With a unique roar, a leopard pounced at the group. The middle-aged man was not weak; seeing the leopard pounce, he sidestepped and thrust his sword, grazing the leopard's neck and drawing blood, causing the leopard to let out a painful cry.

" Attack together! Kill these beasts!" The middle-aged man shouted, waving his sword and charging at the leopards.

The other men exchanged glances and followed. Soon, the men and leopards were engaged in battle.

Xu Feng watched the battle between the men and the leopards, thinking that to eliminate these leopards, many of them would be injured. Thinking of this, Xu Feng picked up some stones from the ground and looked at the center of the fight.

One of the servants stabbed a leopard with his sword. As he pulled it out, he found another leopard pouncing at him. He was too frightened to react and could only watch the leopard's sharp claws coming towards his throat.

Just as he was waiting for death, the leopard that had pounced suddenly fell to the ground, letting out a terrible cry, unable to even stand up.

The servant didn't understand why, but his reaction was quick. He stabbed the leopard with his sword, pierced it, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking how lucky he was, almost dying from the leopard's claws.

Similarly, every time someone was in danger, the attacking leopard would mysteriously let out a terrible cry. In this situation, the leopards were one by one eliminated.

The leading man was also amazed. The leopard that had attacked him had fallen to the ground and was pierced by his sword. This situation was extremely strange! However, he had no time to think and could only continue to stab and kill the leopards.

Xu Feng hid in the distance, having run out of stones. Seeing only two or three leopards left, Xu Feng didn't act again. Two or three leopards could be easily dealt with by these people.

Sure enough, these people quickly finished off the leopards.

" Clear the road!" The leading man sheathed his sword and shouted to the servants.

As the men cleared the road, Xu Feng also approached. The leading man looked at Xu Feng, who was approaching, and frowned slightly. Anyone who saw a stranger after a leopard attack would feel uneasy, and the leopards might be related to this person.

" Excuse me! How do I get to Hecheng?" Xu Feng smiled and asked the leading man.

The leading man sized up Xu Feng, noting his thin frame and pale complexion, and concluded he was not someone who could control leopards. This reduced his suspicion, and he replied, " Go straight east!"

" Thank you!" Xu Feng thanked him and headed east.

" You're welcome!" The leading man nodded, although he was on the same route as Xu Feng, he had no intention of inviting him to join.

" Uncle Hei! Can we go now?" A soft and melodious voice came from a luxurious carriage, so pleasant that it could dispel one's worries.

The man called Uncle Hei quickly bowed and said, " Miss! I'll get us moving."

He then waved for someone to lead the way.

The large group soon walked alongside Xu Feng.

This situation continued for a long time. Uncle Hei frowned, seeing Xu Feng always not far from their right side. This young man seemed annoying; when they sped up, he sped up, and when they slowed down, he slowed down.

Of course, Uncle Hei wouldn't rudely drive Xu Feng away. After all, this was the only road to Hecheng, and he couldn't say the other person was doing it on purpose.

After traveling for some time, Uncle Hei ordered the men to prepare food. As Uncle Hei had expected, the young man on the right side gathered some firewood and was roasting a rabbit he had caught.

Just as Uncle Hei was feeling annoyed, a soft voice came from behind, " Uncle Hei! Who is he?"

Next to Uncle Hei, a woman in a luxurious purple robe stepped out of the carriage. Her figure was full and graceful, exuding a faint allure. Her long black hair cascaded from her shoulders to her slender waist, and her face, veiled, had eyes like peach blossoms, captivating and enchanting.

" Miss! I don't know him. He's just a young man going to Hecheng." Uncle Hei smiled bitterly.

" Then let him travel with us! Otherwise, others might think we're bullying an outsider!" Zi Yan said calmly.

" Yes, Miss!" Uncle Hei nodded and waved to a servant to invite Xu Feng.

" Uncle Hei! How long can Kai Xuan hold on?" Zi Yan asked.

" If we go to Hecheng, a round trip is possible, but not longer. Unfortunately, we can't find a Spirit Realm practitioner. Otherwise..." Uncle Hei sighed, " Why did the young master go to the Miasma Forest? How can we dispel this miasma?"

Zi Yan's eyes, like peach blossoms, were filled with concern. They had just returned from the rat doctor. The old man had the ability to treat Kai Xuan. As a Spirit Realm practitioner, he had studied various healing techniques, and a little miasma was no problem. However, the old man was disrespectful and demanded that she spend a night with him.

Thinking of this, Zi Yan was furious. If not for his status as a Spirit Realm practitioner, equal to her father, she would have destroyed his home.

" Hmm!
