Ordinary people in Ice Dragon City might not know what the name Hao City means in the mainland, but how could Wang Feihu, as a member of the powerful Wang family, not understand?
Zhonghao City is backed by Zhonghao Mountain, which is the location of Tianyang Sect, one of the six top sects!
Could this man in front of me be an alchemist from the Tianyang Sect?
Wang Feihu felt a sense of doubt, but he wasn't sure, so he asked, "Young Master Sun, do you have some connection with the Tianyang Sect?"
"It's nothing, Master Wang, you don't need to worry about it," Ye Feng said.
Wang Feihu is the head of Bailingtang, and Wang Ruyun is the manager here, so it's not a problem for Ye Feng to call him Head Wang.
"Then why don't you join the Tianyang Sect?" Wang Feihu asked again.
"I originally wanted to join the Tianyang Sect, but I offended one of its core disciples, which cut off my path. So I came here to try my luck," Ye Feng explained with a smile.
"You want to join the Earth Yin Sect?" Wang Feihu then asked.
“I do have that idea, but right now I’m completely clueless and don’t know anything. I’m a stranger in this place, and besides… my sister was attacked by a monster on the road and her soul was injured, so I had no choice but to come to your Hundred Spirits Hall to buy Soul-Restoring Grass,” Ye Feng said flawlessly.
"I see."
Wang Feihu was completely relieved and said with a smile, "In that case, Young Master Sun, why don't you stay at our Wang family's place? We will certainly treat you with the utmost hospitality."
"Isn't that inappropriate?" Ye Feng politely declined.
Wang Feihu said enthusiastically, "Young Master Sun, you are a seventh-grade alchemist. Top sects may look down on you, but we local forces are eager to find talented people! If you are willing to join our Wang family and become our guest elder, our family will absolutely welcome you with open arms!"
"Even if you don't want to join our Wang family, that's fine, we will never force you. However, you did promise to help us refine a Dragon Blood Qi-Boosting Pill, and it will take time for our family to send people to capture the sea dragon. So, in the meantime, Young Master Sun, why don't you bring your sister to our Wang family?"
Since Wang Feihu had already put it this way, Ye Feng nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go to the inn to take care of my sister."
Wang Ruyun immediately said, "You few escort Young Master Sun there. If anything goes wrong on the way, I will hold you accountable!"
Wang Ruyun sent guards to accompany Ye Feng to the inn, ostensibly to escort him, but in reality, it was also to monitor him.
After all, the Resurrection Grass is now in Ye Feng's hands. If Ye Feng runs away with the Resurrection Grass, things will get complicated.
But Wang Feihu was clearly better at interpersonal relationships and understood social dynamics than Wang Ruyun.
He frowned and said, "How can we let the guards escort Young Master Sun? That's too insincere. Ruyun, you go there yourself."
Wang Ruyun understood her uncle's meaning and immediately nodded in agreement.
“Alright, then I’ll go myself,” Wang Ruyun said with a smile.
Ye Feng didn't refuse. Since he had already agreed, it wouldn't matter whether Wang Ruyun followed him or not.
So Ye Feng brought Wang Ruyun to the inn.
Wang Ruyun waited on the first floor, while Ye Feng went upstairs back to his room.
Bai Yue was sitting on the bed meditating, while Xuanbing Fairy was fast asleep beside her, like a sleeping beauty.
"Why are you only coming back now? I've been waiting for you for ages," Bai Yue said, sounding like she was complaining.
Ye Feng explained from beginning to end how he had encountered difficulties with Miss Zhao when he tried to buy the Soul-Restoring Grass at Bailingtang.
Bai Yue said, "You're so powerful, why don't you just take them all out?"
"You make it sound so easy. The Earth Yin Sect is investigating me. If I were to reveal my true strength and wipe out the entire Zhao family, would the Earth Yin Sect not notice me?" Ye Feng said irritably.
"That's true."
Bai Yue nodded.
Bai Yue wasn't stupid, but she was a dragon, a special kind of demon beast, and she had always lived in the wilderness where no one lived, so she didn't understand the rules and social customs of human society.
Even if she already has some understanding, she often thinks about problems according to her old thinking habits, which can be summarized in eight words: straightforward and simple.
"Young Master Wang is waiting for us downstairs. Let's go down now... Oh, and put a veil over Fairy Xuanbing so as not to reveal her true appearance," Ye Feng instructed.
"Don't I need it?" Bai Yue asked again.
"Forget about you," Ye Feng said, shaking his head.
"What do you mean? Am I not as pretty as Fairy Xuanbing?" Bai Yue said sourly, clearly jealous and resentful.
"Then you might as well wear a veil too," Ye Feng laughed.
Bai Yue was finally satisfied.
Bai Yue carried Xuanbing Fairy on her back and followed Ye Feng down the stairs.
"You have two younger sisters?" Wang Ruyun looked curiously at Bai Yue, then at the Xuanbing Fairy on Bai Yue's back.
“Yes.” Night Breeze nodded.
Without Ye Feng's explanation, Wang Ruyun already recognized that the Xuanbing Fairy on Bai Yue's back was the younger sister Ye Feng had mentioned before, the one whose soul was injured in a monster attack on the road.
Without asking any further questions, Wang Ruyun led Ye Feng out of the inn and hailed a carriage to head towards the Wang family mansion.
The Wang family mansion is very large, almost like a garden.
It's filled with trees, streams, and bridges, like a maze.
Baiyun carried Xuanbing Fairy on his back, following Yefeng and Wang Ruyun, walking and stopping intermittently, until they finally arrived at the accommodations arranged for them by Wang Ruyun.
"These three rooms will be for you and your brother from now on. If you have any needs or any complaints, please let me know, and I will do my best to accommodate you," Wang Ruyun said warmly.
"Thank you," Night Breeze nodded.
After Wang Ruyun left, Bai Yue carried Xuanbing Fairy to the room and placed her on the bed.
“You live in the same room as her,” Ye Feng said.
Bai Yue was not surprised by this arrangement. After all, Xuanbing Fairy was in a coma and completely unprepared, making it too dangerous for her to live alone.
Moreover, with Fairy Xuanbing being so stunningly beautiful, it would be disastrous if any of the Wang family's servants harbored any wicked thoughts.
"You've obtained the Soul-Restoring Grass. When will you refine the elixir for her?" Bai Yue asked.
"Wait, don't rush, I still need to prepare some supplementary medicines," Ye Feng said.
"Just ask Wang Ruyun directly, he definitely won't refuse anyway," Bai Yue said with a smile.
Ye Feng originally didn't plan to look for Wang Ruyun, because he could easily buy the remaining medicinal herbs from any large pharmacy.
But then I thought, the Wang family might have wanted to test my alchemy skills, so I might as well show them.
Anyway, my alchemy skills are genuine, so I'm not afraid they'll notice anything wrong.
