She would glance back at Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan every now and then, and say hesitantly, "My home is almost there, just ahead."

This wasn't the first time Li Feiyan had said this; she had repeated it several times.

Night Breeze sighed softly, glanced at Luo Mengxuan, and then asked telepathically, "Senior Sister Luo, can you explain now? What exactly happened?"

Luo Mengxuan also transmitted her thoughts, saying, "Junior brother, Feiyan's family is really having a hard time. Her father is a miner in the mine in the north of the city. Half a year ago, the mine collapsed. Although he survived by chance, his leg was broken, and he has been disabled ever since."

"Feiyan's mother had to do odd jobs everywhere, doing sewing and mending to supplement the family income, but it was not enough at all."

"To support her family and to pay for her father's medical treatment, Li Feiyan took a desperate gamble and turned to theft. She was forced into it by circumstances; if she had a choice, she certainly wouldn't have become a thief."

Night Wind finally understood.

No wonder it took Luo Mengxuan and Li Feiyan so long to wash up in their room; it turns out Li Feiyan had told Luo Mengxuan about her family situation.

Luo Mengxuan made up her mind to help because of her overflowing compassion.

After figuring out the key point, Ye Feng was both annoyed and amused.

"Senior sister, we also have important business to attend to, have you forgotten?" Ye Feng said.

"Anyway, Xingyunze is right there, it won't grow legs and run away. We can eat there for a few days and then go there," Luo Mengxuan said telepathically.

"Okay, fine."

Night Breeze finally nodded in agreement.

The narrow road was lined with dilapidated wooden houses, and because the air was too humid, the surfaces of these houses were damp and even covered with moss and fungi.

It seems that North Mining Street is indeed North Mining Street, just a slum in Mud Cloud City.

Ye Feng sighed inwardly, but showed no sign of it on his face, continuing to walk unhurriedly behind Li Feiyan.

Luo Mengxuan did the same; she remained silent and did not urge Li Feiyan, lest she panic.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and they finally arrived at Li Feiyan's home.

Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan followed Li Feiyan into her home, where they met her father, Li Cheng.

Li Cheng lay listlessly in bed, looking emaciated and in extremely poor health.

If Ye Feng hadn't sensed the presence of a living person emanating from Li Cheng, he would have surely thought he was dead.

"Father, how are you? Are you alright?" Li Feiyan asked.

"Thank goodness, I'm not dead... Wait, who are these two?"

Li Cheng finally noticed Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan standing behind his daughter halfway through his sentence, and a look of deep surprise appeared on his face.

Li Cheng couldn't help but be surprised, after all, the robes worn by Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan were made of the finest silk, and it was clear at a glance that they were not something ordinary people could afford.

Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan were so glamorous that they looked completely out of place standing in this dilapidated wooden house. It was as if two cranes had landed in a garbage dump, creating a stark contrast.

"Father, they are all martial artists, and disciples of the Xuanji Sect."

"This is Mr. Ye Fengye, and this is Mr. Ye's senior sister, Luo Mengxuan."

"Father, Mr. Ye is an extremely skilled alchemist. He can heal your leg!"

Li Feiyan's words greatly excited Li Cheng.

Moreover, Li Cheng did not doubt his daughter's words. After all, Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan were indeed not ordinary people, exuding an aura of otherworldly innocence from head to toe.

The aura they exude is the best proof!

"Is this your father?" Ye Feng asked.

Li Feiyan nodded repeatedly and pleaded, "Mr. Ye, please save my father. I will agree to any request you make, as long as you can cure my father's leg."

Before Ye Feng could say anything, Luo Mengxuan said, "Don't worry, my junior brother will treat your father right now. Besides, my junior brother is very easy to talk to and won't make things difficult for you."

Upon hearing this, Li Feiyan's face immediately showed deep gratitude.

Ye Feng turned to Li Cheng and said, "This place is too small to operate properly, Uncle Li, I'll take you out."

As he spoke, Ye Feng raised his right hand and gently patted Li Cheng on the body.

Li Cheng suddenly floated off the bed and drifted outside with the night wind.

Seeing this, Li Feiyan clicked her tongue in amazement.

Li Cheng, who was floating in the air, was even more surprised and shocked from the bottom of his heart.

After all, this was the first time in his life that he had ever dealt with a martial artist face to face and experienced the special techniques of a martial artist!

After Ye Feng brought Li Cheng outside, he placed him in a relatively clean and open area.

"Uncle Li, don't move. I'll examine you now," Ye Feng said.

"Okay, okay, I won't move," Li Cheng readily agreed.

Ye Feng squatted down in front of Li Cheng and placed his right hand on Li Cheng's leg.

The pure Dragon Emperor's True Qi surged forth from Ye Feng's palm, pouring into Li Cheng's body like a flood and circulating throughout his body.

After examining it for a while, Ye Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

Luo Mengxuan immediately asked, "Junior brother, how is Uncle Li? You should be able to heal him, right? Your alchemy skills are so amazing, even Elder Danxiao might not be able to compare to you. Uncle Li's injury should be a piece of cake for you."

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Uncle Li's injury is indeed not a big problem, and it is not difficult to heal him, but a lot of toxins have accumulated in Uncle Li's body, and these toxins are a bit strange."

"Toxins?" Luo Mengxuan looked puzzled.

Just then, a loud boom came from afar, and the ground trembled.

"What is that sound?" Ye Feng asked, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

Li Feiyan immediately replied, "That's the sound of mining. The rocks in the mine are so hard that sometimes explosives are needed to blast them open."

Ye Feng suddenly realized, and his expression became somewhat serious.

Then Ye Feng asked, "Li Feiyan, Uncle Li, do people in your area start coughing after the age of thirty, then experience chest tightness and shortness of breath around the age of forty, followed by coughing up blood, falling into a coma, and dying before the age of fifty?"

Li Cheng nodded vigorously, while Li Feiyan looked at Ye Feng in surprise and asked, "Mr. Ye, how did you know?"

"It seems my guess was correct."

Night Wind sighed before continuing, "There is a toxin in the mine. It is not very toxic, but as miners in the mountains inhale this toxin over time, it will have an increasingly serious impact on their health."

“Li Feiyan, your father is like this. He has accumulated a lot of toxins in his body. If this continues, even if I heal his leg, he won’t live for more than a few years.”
