And so the people around him disappeared one by one, as did the night wind.

When Ye Feng opened his eyes, he saw that Zi Jing was very close to him, her face almost touching his.

What are you doing?

Night Wind frowned as he spoke, and stood up from the ground.

Startled, Zijing let out a strange scream and jumped back to hide.

“You’ve been sleeping for so long, I’m worried something might happen to you, so I wanted to keep an eye on you,” Zijing said.

"What could possibly happen to me? I'm a Saint Realm expert," Ye Feng said irritably.

Then Ye Feng sat down in the chair and asked with a smile, "Do you know where I went?"

"Where did you go?" Zijing asked.

“I went to the Eternal Dreamland,” Night Wind replied with a smile.

"Eternal Dream!"

Zijing stared at Yefeng in astonishment, her face filled with disbelief.

After a pause, Zijing added, "That's not right. You've been in the tent the whole time, you haven't gone anywhere."

“Spiritual wandering, do you understand spiritual wandering?” Night Wind said.

"You mean you just used your divine sense to go to the Eternal Dreamland? But that doesn't make sense. Even if you're a Saint Realm expert, your divine sense can't be infinitely far from your body. But the Eternal Dreamland is definitely not in our Southern Territory," Zijing said疑惑地.

"Let me explain it to you like this: the lunatics at Eternal Dreamland created a dream world based on dreams, and named it Dream World."

"I just arrived in that dream world through a dream and spent several hours there."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Zi Jing finally realized what was going on.

Then Zijing said, "How many hours? It's clearly only been less than half an hour..."

"That's because the flow of time in the dream world is different from that in the real world," Night Wind explained.

Zijing then said "Oh," with a look of half-understanding.

"Forget it, I won't explain anymore. Just know that I had some contact with those people from Eternal Dreamland, and that's enough for you."

Night Breeze waved his hand and then ordered, "Go and call Rowling over here now. I need to talk to her."

"I know, I know. All you ever do is make me run errands. I might as well change my title from Director of the Inspection Department to Director of the Errand-Running Department!"

Zijing kept muttering to herself.

Despite her complaints, she didn't stop running and immediately went out of the tent to find Rowling.

Before long, Rowling followed Zijing to Night Breeze's tent.

Upon reaching Ye Feng, Luo Lin bowed and asked, "Ancestor, what brings you here?"

“I want to know about the situation in Nanhua City,” Ye Feng said.

"Nanhua City?"

Rowling paused, then, as if struck by a thought, looked at Ye Feng curiously and asked, "Has something unexpected happened in Nanhua City?"

"It's too early to say," Ye Feng said.

Rowling then said, "I don't know much about Nanhua City either, but we have refugees here who escaped from Nanhua City. If you're not in a hurry, please wait for me, and I'll go ask them."

"Then go ahead, I'm not in a hurry," Ye Feng said, waving his hand.

Rowling nodded in agreement and left the tent in the night breeze.

As soon as Luo Lin left, that brat Zi Jing skipped and jumped up to Ye Feng and asked, "Old Deng, are you planning to kill the city lord of Nanhua City?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Why would I want to kill the city lord of Nanhua City?" Ye Feng said irritably.

"You went to Jiangxia City, and the city lord, Jiang Zhengzhong, almost lost his life. Then you went to Huasheng City, and the city lord, Li Huayun, died. Now you're interested in Nanhua City, so the city lord of Nanhua City must be..."

Before Zijing could finish speaking, Yefeng interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense here. I just want to know about the situation in Nanhua City."

"You must know something..."

"Shut up!"

Night Wind scolded her, and Zijing finally shut her mouth.

About two hours later, Luo Lin arrived at Ye Feng's tent with a stack of documents and reported the situation in Nanhua City to Ye Feng in detail.

"Nanhua City is about 500 li away from our Xinluo City. It is a large city with a population of 120,000. The current city lord is named Lin Feifei, who is the wife of the previous city lord."

"Lin Feifei is a female martial artist at the early stage of True Yuan Realm, with considerable strength and prestige in the Southern Region. Moreover, before marrying Cheng Fengrui, the previous city lord of Nanhua City, Lin Feifei was a chivalrous knight."

Upon hearing the word "knight-errant," Ye Feng's face lit up with curiosity.

"You mean a chivalrous knight-errant?" Night Wind asked.

"Yes, a chivalrous knight."

Rowling smiled and then said, "The title of 'Hero' is an honorary title specially arranged by the Martial Arts Association and the Qi Cultivation Association for those special cultivators. To have the title of 'Hero,' one must be at least a martial artist at the Separation and Union Realm or above, and also have a considerable reputation, of course, a positive one."

"Lin Feifei is a case in point. When she first started out, she was just an ordinary female martial artist, but she traveled all over the world and accumulated a lot of fame. She also assisted the court in handling several cases, so she was awarded the title of chivalrous knight."

"Later, Lin Feifei became a martial artist in the early stage of the True Yuan Realm, and her fame grew even more. Moreover, the reason why Lin Feifei married Cheng Fengrui was because of a clever misunderstanding."

Night Breeze asked with a smile, "A misunderstanding? Tell me about it."

Rowling nodded and continued, "Fifteen years ago, Lin Feifei had just become a True Yuan Realm martial artist. She traveled to our Southern Territory and assisted the imperial court in capturing a notorious bandit. As a result, that notorious bandit infiltrated Nanhua City and hid in the city lord's mansion."

"It has to be said that this notorious bandit is really audacious. He probably thinks that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is, so he dared to hide in the city lord's mansion in Nanhua City. But no matter what, after the notorious bandit entered the city lord's mansion in Nanhua City, Lin Feifei followed him in."

"Then, during the capture of that notorious bandit, Lin Feifei mistakenly thought Cheng Fengrui was his accomplice, so she injured him. However, although Cheng Fengrui was the city lord, he was very kind and did not hold it against Lin Feifei. In this way, Lin Feifei and Cheng Fengrui developed feelings for each other and eventually got married."

Night Breeze laughed and said, "It's really a cliché."

“But being old-fashioned means being classic, it means being traditional, doesn’t it?” Rowling said with a smile.

Zijing urged, "And then? And then?"

Rowling sighed and said, "Then Cheng Fengrui died."

Zijing's eyes widened immediately, and she said, "What do you mean, 'Cheng Fengrui died later'? Can you please stop omitting things like that!"
