Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
As Ye Feng breathed in and out, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth immediately rushed towards him.
Because of its incredible speed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth even stirred up the true energy, forming a small tornado around Ye Feng!
The dust, fallen leaves, pebbles, and mud on the ground were all swept into the air, turning the mountain forest into a gray haze.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Feng's depleted true energy was mostly restored.
The night breeze began to breathe more slowly, the small tornado gradually dissipated, and the fallen leaves and pebbles that had been flying in the air finally fell back to the ground.
A horse-drawn carriage approached from a distance.
The driver was an old man in a short jacket. He looked like an ordinary coachman, but his eyes were very sharp.
Moreover, throughout the drive, the elderly man with gray hair kept a watchful eye on his surroundings.
"Old Wu, how far are we from Great Wilderness City?"
A boy's voice came from inside the carriage.
The old man, referred to as Elder Wu, immediately turned around and said, "Young Master, Great Wilderness City is not far away. In two more hours, we will be able to leave Great Wilderness Mountain and enter Great Wilderness City."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work," the boy in the carriage said.
"It's not hard work."
Old Wu replied, a slight smile appearing on his face.
Suddenly, Old Wu tightened the reins and abruptly stopped the carriage.
"Who are you? Why are you standing in the middle of the road?" Old Wu asked the young man in front of him warily.
This person is none other than Ye Feng!
The night breeze had just recovered its energy and came from the forest to the road.
At this moment, he was trying to figure out the direction and find Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan by relying on the connection between them through the mantra.
If it were a busy road, Ye Feng would definitely drive on the right, but this forest path is not wide enough, so he stood in the middle of the road.
"Sorry, I was daydreaming."
Night Breeze waved with a smile, took a few steps, and stood by the roadside.
Old Wu gave Ye Feng a few wary glances, then prepared to crack his whip and continue on his way.
Just then, the curtains of the carriage were lifted, revealing the face of a young boy.
The boy sitting in the carriage was quite handsome; if you didn't look closely, you might mistake him for an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.
"Who are you, and why are you traveling alone in the Great Wilderness Mountains? Don't you know that there are many monsters in the Great Wilderness Mountains, and you could die if you're not careful?" the boy asked Ye Feng curiously.
"I have companions, but we accidentally got separated," Night Wind explained with a smile.
"Oh, I see... Do you know where your companion went?" the boy asked again.
Seeing that the boy was kind, innocent, and even somewhat adorable, Ye Feng didn't hide anything and pointed southeast with a smile: "My two companions went in this direction, and I'm about to catch up with them."
"Then come on up, we're going the same way anyway," the boy said with a smile.
"Young Master, you mustn't!"
Old Wu, who was driving the carriage, immediately spoke up to stop it.
"Old Wu, why not?"
The boy looked at Old Wu with a puzzled expression, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Old Wu, didn't you always teach me that we should help those in need? This person is traveling alone in the desolate mountains. If he encounters a monster, it will be a big problem. How can we just stand by and do nothing?"
Upon hearing the boy's words, Old Wu's expression immediately became extremely awkward.
After hesitating for a moment, Old Wu lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, your father passed away suddenly, and left a will appointing you as the head of the family to rule the entire Great Wilderness City. But the eldest young master chose to enter Great Wilderness City before us at this time. Everyone knows what he's up to!"
"At times like this, we must be careful and guard against assassins sent by the young master."
The young master frowned and said, "Old Wu, you are judging others by your own petty standards. How could my elder brother possibly send assassins to kill me? My elder brother and I have such a good relationship, we've always gotten along well since we were little, he would never do such a thing! Besides, I have no interest in the position of family head. Once we enter the Great Wilderness City and return to our Ouyang family, I will give up the position of family head and let my elder brother inherit it."
"Young Master, how could you be so foolish..." Old Wu smiled bitterly, his expression full of helplessness.
Although Old Wu and the boy spoke softly, the night wind heard them all.
Listening to the conversation between the old man and the young man, Ye Feng found it quite amusing.
However, Ye Feng did indeed have a good impression of this boy.
This boy was not only handsome and adorable, but also kind-hearted and possessed the innocence of a child.
Let alone the night breeze, anyone who faces him would feel fond of him, right?
"Old Wu, please stop talking. This person doesn't seem like a bad person. Let him get on. Anyway, our carriage is fast. We'll be leaving the Great Wilderness Mountain and entering the Great Wilderness City in less than two hours," the young man insisted.
Old Wu sighed, and finally looked at Ye Feng: "Didn't you hear my young master inviting you to get in the car? What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get in!"
Ye Feng smiled, then stepped onto the carriage and entered the carriage.
"Please sit down."
The boy patted the seat next to him and said.
Night Breeze walked over and sat down next to the boy, asking, "What's your name?"
"My name is Ouyang Xue," the boy replied, his face slightly flushed.
“That doesn’t sound like a boy’s name,” Night Breeze asked with a smile.
The boy said somewhat shyly, "My father always wanted a daughter before he died. After my mother gave birth to my older brother Ouyang Feng, my father's desire for a daughter became even stronger."
"But my mother later gave birth to me, a boy, and perhaps to please my father, she gave me this girl's name."
The boy spoke shyly, as if he was ashamed to talk about this topic.
"Is the old man who drove your carriage your servant? What is his name?" Ye Feng asked.
"I am Wu Shanhong!"
The elderly man driving the car came from outside, and his words carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Ye Feng pretended not to notice the old man's dissatisfaction and continued to chat and laugh with Ouyang Xue.
"I just heard you say that your father left a will saying that you should become the head of your family and take charge of the entire Great Wilderness City? Is your family very powerful in Great Wilderness City?" Ye Feng asked.
Ouyang Xue said with a proud look, "Of course! The Great Wilderness City was established four hundred years ago, and it was our Ouyang family that established it! So after the Great Wilderness City was established, our Ouyang family took control of it, and the head of the Ouyang family at that time was the city lord of the Great Wilderness City."
