“Junior Brother Ye didn’t get in through connections; he has real talent and skills,” Luo Mengxuan quickly said.

Cheng Xue responded with an "oh," and looked at Ye Feng with even more curiosity.

It was at this moment that the Night Wind finally finished its refining process.

As the furnace lid opened, a colorful cloud flew out, expanding to a radius of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) and floating above everyone's heads.

"Alright, Senior Sister," Ye Feng said.

"Thank you so much, Junior Brother Ye," Luo Mengxuan said with a smile.

"Should we go now?" Ye Feng asked again.

Upon hearing this, Luo Mengxuan's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.

After all, she had only just met Cheng Xue and had a lot to say to her.

Night Breeze frowned slightly and said, "We'd better hurry back; I have important business to attend to."

"Alright, junior brother, I..."

Before Luo Mengxuan could finish speaking, Cheng Xue interrupted her, saying, "Young Master Ye, don't be in such a hurry. As the saying goes, meeting is fate. Since that's the case, why don't you and Mengxuan come with us to Taixuan City? It just so happens that our caravan's destination is also Taixuan City."

Before Ye Feng could say anything, Cheng Xue continued, "Moreover, I have fine wine and delicacies to serve you in my carriage, which will surely satisfy you, Young Master Ye."

Ye Feng wasn't interested in fine wine and delicacies; all he wanted to do was return to the Xuanji Sect in Tai Xuan City immediately.

After all, Ye Feng wanted to exchange for the Honghu Spiritual Root from the Xuanji Sect's Treasure Hall as soon as possible, and then use the Hunhu Spiritual Root to refine the Lanxing Honghu Pill to repair his injuries and restore his strength.

But at that moment, Ye Feng suddenly felt something was wrong.

His eyes suddenly turned gold, and he looked at Cheng Xue, scrutinizing the woman from head to toe.

The change in Ye Feng's eyes did not escape the notice of everyone present. Luo Mengxuan did not react, while Cheng Xue looked at Ye Feng curiously.

The guard leader, Chen Zhigang, was startled and quickly drew his sword to protect Cheng Xue, blocking Ye Feng's gaze.

But he didn't actually block it, because after Ye Feng opened his All-Seeing Golden Eyes, he could see through everything, and all objects and martial arts techniques would be exposed under his gaze.

"Don't be nervous, I just noticed something wrong with your young lady," Ye Feng said.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Cheng Xue was completely confused.

"No, I just misread it," Ye Feng said, shaking his head.

Then Ye Feng looked at Luo Mengxuan and said, "Since Miss Cheng has extended such a warm invitation, let's reluctantly accept. In any case, Tianyuan City and Taixuan City are not far apart, and at the speed of the caravan, it will take at most three or four days to arrive."

"Junior brother, you are indeed very understanding!" Luo Mengxuan was overjoyed.

If Ye Feng insists on not going with her, Luo Mengxuan will be in a difficult situation.

On one side is her junior brother who has been kind to her, and on the other side is her childhood friend. She is caught in the middle and it is not easy for her to do either.

But now that Ye Feng has agreed, there are naturally no problems.

"Young Master Ye, Mengxuan, please come with me," Cheng Xue said with a smile.

The head of the guards, Chen Zhigang, glanced at Ye Feng and hesitated before saying, "Miss, perhaps we should..."

“Chief Chen, you don’t need to say anything more. I know what I’m doing. Mengxuan is not only my childhood friend, but also a true disciple of the prestigious Xuanji Sect. She would never harm me,” Cheng Xue said.

"All right."

Chen Zhigang nodded and said no more.

Cheng Xue led Luo Mengxuan by the hand toward the carriage, with Ye Feng following behind them.

“Don’t blame Chief Chen. He’s the head of the guards. He’s responsible for protecting not only the caravan but also me, so it’s understandable that he’s being so careful,” Chen Xue said.

"Don't worry, my junior brother and I definitely won't blame him." Luo Mengxuan waved her hand with a smile.

After getting into the carriage, Ye Feng sat quietly, only taking a small sip of the snacks and wine that Cheng Xue had brought out.

Luo Mengxuan and Cheng Xue chatted and laughed non-stop, having a very lively conversation.

The two women talked about everything under the sun, from the south to the north, and there was nothing they couldn't talk about.

Ye Feng didn't interrupt, but listened quietly, and thus gained a lot of information from their conversation.

Cheng Xue is the second daughter of the Cheng family, with an older brother.

The Cheng family is one of the three top wealthy families in Tianyuan City, and the Gao family is another of the three.

This caravan purchases goods from Tianyuan City and then sells them to merchants in Taixuan City, profiting from the price difference.

"Mengxuan, you just said that you and your junior brother started from Tianyuan City and returned to Xuanji Sect?" Cheng Xue asked curiously.

“Yes.” Luo Mengxuan nodded.

"What are you going to Tianyuan City for? Are you on some kind of secret mission?" Cheng Xue asked curiously.

Luo Mengxuan said with a smile, "Didn't you know that Gao Dongming, the head of the Gao family, is ill?"

"I really don't know," Cheng Xue shook her head.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, it’s not a big deal… Gao Dongming, the head of the Gao family, has contracted a strange illness. Many people have been asked to cure him, but none of them could. Fortunately, the Gao family has the spiritual medicine that my junior brother wanted, so my junior brother and I came to Tianyuan City to treat the head of the Gao family.” Luo Mengxuan said succinctly.

"I see." Cheng Xue nodded with a smile.

Then Cheng Xue blinked her eyes and asked, "Has Patriarch Gao recovered from his illness?"

“My junior brother personally took care of it, so of course he was cured,” Luo Mengxuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Cheng Xue looked at Ye Feng curiously again.

Cheng Xue raised her right hand to cover her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Mengxuan has always been arrogant and disdainful of men, but now she speaks so highly of you, Young Master Ye. It seems you are truly remarkable."

Luo Mengxuan's cheeks flushed red instantly.

"Cheng Xue, what nonsense are you spouting out of the blue!" Luo Mengxuan said angrily, glaring at Cheng Xue.

"I'm not making this up, I'm telling the truth," Cheng Xue said with a smile.

"If you keep doing this, I'm going to get angry!" Luo Mengxuan said angrily.

Cheng Xue knew that Luo Mengxuan wasn't really angry, but was just pretending to be angry to cover up her shyness, so she laughed even harder.

Suddenly, the night wind asked, "Have you been having a lot of dreams lately?"

Cheng Xue was stunned. She didn't understand why Ye Feng would suddenly ask such a question.

“I do dream a lot,” Cheng Xue replied.

"Do you always dream about someone?" Night Wind asked again.

“That’s true.” Cheng Xue nodded.

Luo Mengxuan asked curiously, "Who did you dream about? Could it be your dream lover?"

"You just told me not to talk nonsense, but in the blink of an eye, you're the one talking nonsense," Cheng Xue said angrily.

"Isn't that right? Then who did you dream about?" Luo Mengxuan pressed.

“He’s my older brother,” Cheng Xue replied.

After a pause, Cheng Xue continued, "I don't know what's wrong with me, but lately I keep dreaming about my older brother, about all the things we did together when we were little."
