Gu Lingxuan nodded, her face flushed as she walked outside.
But after taking only a couple of steps, she turned back and looked at Ye Feng with great embarrassment.
"What happened just now..." Gu Lingxuan said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Ye Feng said earnestly.
Gu Lingxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in satisfaction.
Stepping down from the carriage, Gu Lingxuan felt a warmth in her heart upon seeing Gu Weiyun anxiously waiting outside.
"Father, I'm alright now," Gu Lingxuan said.
"That's wonderful! Young Master Feng is truly a miraculous doctor!"
Seeing Gu Lingxuan standing in front of him with a rosy complexion, Gu Weiyun was both surprised and delighted.
The night breeze also emerged from the carriage.
After all, Sun Gang and the other guards were all unconscious at the moment, and they were all poisoned and needed Ye Feng to detoxify them.
"Young Master Feng, Sun Gang and the others..."
“I’m about to give them an antidote,” Ye Feng said.
"Okay, thank you."
Gu Weiyun quickly said.
Gu Weiyun is now extremely grateful.
Fortunately, the alchemist Young Master Feng joined his caravan and traveled with him to Zhonghao City; otherwise, all of them would have been killed!
The toxins in Sun Gang and the others' bodies were relatively easier to treat; Ye Feng resolved all the toxins in their bodies in just over an hour.
Sun Gang and the other twenty-odd guards were all dead.
However, Zhao Qishan's poison did cause some damage to them, so some of the younger and weaker guards were sickly and looked like wilted eggplants.
But they can fully recover after a few days of rest.
It's late at night.
The night breeze stopped lingering outside and, after neutralizing the toxins in Sun Gang and the others' bodies, returned to the carriage to rest.
The night passed quickly.
The caravan set off again, heading towards Zhonghao City.
If all goes well, the convoy should arrive in Zhonghao City in an hour.
Gu Lingxuan went to the carriage where Ye Feng and Luo Qingling were, but Ye Feng ignored her and quietly meditated.
Gu Lingxuan and Luo Qingling were talking in low voices, and the two women would occasionally burst into laughter.
"Gu Weizhen is your second uncle, so why does he hate you and your father so much?" Luo Qingling asked curiously.
Gu Lingxuan's expression turned somewhat somber.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Lingxuan finally said, "This matter has to be traced back to decades ago. My father and my second uncle were only one year apart, but because my father was the eldest son, my grandfather entrusted the important task of the family to my father."
"My second uncle had a talent for martial arts, so my grandfather arranged for him to practice martial arts in a very far place."
"But my second uncle was very dissatisfied with my grandfather's arrangement. He felt that my grandfather deliberately arranged for him to be very far away so as to avoid him and my father from fighting for the family power."
“The seeds of hatred were sown and quickly took root and sprouted. After my grandfather passed away, the conflict between my father and my second uncle completely erupted. My father was quite tolerant of my second uncle and gave in to him in everything, but my second uncle saw my father’s concessions as a sign of a guilty conscience.”
There's no need to go into the details; Luo Qingling could guess and imagine what would happen next.
She is also the daughter of a prominent family, so she has firsthand experience with this.
In the Luo family, there were also some sordid affairs involving power struggles, but she was well protected by her father, Luo Shanzhong, so she was never harmed in the slightest.
"Let's not talk about these troubling things."
Gu Lingxuan smiled and asked, "Miss Feng, you've reached the age for marriage. I wonder if you're betrothed?"
"If I were to be betrothed to someone, would I still follow... follow my brother around everywhere?" Luo Qingling said with a smile.
Gu Lingxuan glanced at Ye Feng furtively, and seeing that he was still meditating, she mustered up her courage and asked, "Where's your brother?"
Luo Qingling revealed a sly smile.
“Miss Gu, what you really want to ask about is my brother, right? But my brother is already married, but he doesn’t have any children yet, and he has two wives.”
Upon hearing Luo Qingling's words, Gu Lingxuan felt a faint sense of loss.
However, she did not show her disappointment on her face.
Gu Lingxuan and Luo Qingling chatted for a while longer before finally leaving.
As soon as Gu Lingxuan left, Luo Qingling pushed Ye Feng.
"What are you doing?" Ye Feng asked, opening his eyes.
Night Breeze noticed that Luo Qingling was becoming increasingly disrespectful.
I remember she was very afraid of herself at first, how come she has become so bold now?
Could it be that I'm too good-tempered, causing her to have some kind of illusion?
Luo Qingling said with a smile, "Young Master Feng, did you hear Miss Gu ask you if you are married?"
Ye Feng heard it, of course, and he could tell that Gu Lingxuan had those kinds of feelings for him.
But to avoid embarrassment, Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I was cultivating just now and didn't notice. Besides, I have no interest in listening to you two women whispering."
Luo Qingling then said, "Young Master Feng, in my opinion, that Miss Gu definitely has feelings for you. Otherwise, why would she come over and subtly ask you if you're married?"
"Stop gossiping."
Ye Feng glared at Luo Qingling with annoyance, then continued meditating and circulating his internal energy.
The convoy finally left the vast forest.
A magnificent city appeared on the distant horizon.
That magnificent city is Zhonghao City!
Another hour passed, and the caravan entered Zhonghao City, passing through the city's widest central avenue, and headed towards Zhonghao Mountain.
Upon reaching the foot of Zhonghao Mountain, the caravan was stopped by a checkpoint.
This checkpoint was set up by the Tianyang Sect to prevent unauthorized individuals from climbing Zhonghao Mountain and breaking into the sect's gates.
"Stop! What are you doing here?"
Several martial artists dressed in the outer sect robes of the Tianyang Sect blocked the convoy and questioned them.
Gu Weiyun quickly got out of the car, walked forward, and took out a token.
"We are the Nanyue City Deer Merchant Guild. Our caravan is transporting refining materials for your sect's Grand Elder, Li Hengfeng. These carriages are all filled with refining materials," Gu Weiyun said with a beaming smile.
"What kind of refining materials?" asked the leading outer disciple of the Tianyang Sect.
“It’s Shining Star Silver,” Gu Weiyun replied.
Shining Silver is a relatively common refining material that can be used to refine low- to mid-grade spiritual weapons.
Gu Weiyun's convoy was carrying a full 40,000 jin of Shining Star Silver.
The Tianyang Sect disciple checked the token of Tianyang Sect Grand Elder Li Hengfeng that Gu Weiyun had taken out. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded and said, "Even if you are transporting refining materials for our sect's Grand Elder, we still have to check your caravan."
