Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Luo Mengxuan finally understood why Ye Feng had pleaded for her.
However, Luo Mengxuan's face showed deep shame.
"Junior Brother Ye, you think too highly of me. Actually, my act of becoming a charity saintess to help those poor people is not out of kindness," Luo Mengxuan said after a moment's hesitation.
"Not out of kindness? Then why did you help those people?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
Luo Mengxuan took a deep breath and finally said, "Perhaps it's because helping those poor people satisfies my vanity."
Then Luo Mengxuan explained in detail.
Three years ago, Luo Mengxuan went to Taixuan City by chance to help Elder Lanyue find and purchase medicinal herbs.
On the way, Luo Mengxuan encountered a beggar who was about to starve to death, so she took out some food from her storage ring and gave it to the beggar.
Originally, it was just a casual act, and Luo Mengxuan didn't think much of it. However, the beggar who received the food was extremely grateful to Luo Mengxuan and knelt down to kowtow to her.
Luo Mengxuan's vanity was thus greatly satisfied.
She liked this feeling, so she spontaneously and proactively went to help the poor.
She asked for nothing in return; after all, what she gave away was utterly insignificant to a woman as privileged as herself.
What she wanted was for those who received her help to thank her and be grateful to her.
Luo Mengxuan grew to love the feeling of being appreciated and respected, so she helped the poor more and more often, and her reputation as the Holy Maiden of Almsgiving gradually spread.
"So, Senior Sister Luo, you helped those people to enjoy the pleasure of being appreciated and respected." Ye Feng revealed a thoughtful expression.
Luo Mengxuan nodded and said, "So, Junior Brother Ye, you think too highly of me. I feel guilty."
"No, you don't need to feel guilty."
Night Breeze shook his head and smiled, "A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Regardless of your motives for helping those poor people, Senior Sister Luo, the fact remains that you helped them. Because of your help, people who were originally doomed have survived, and people who were originally going to die have not died. This is a great merit."
"So, Senior Sister Luo, you don't need to belittle yourself. Even if your motives are questionable, the good deeds you've done are genuine."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Luo Mengxuan was at a loss for words.
Ye Feng didn't continue on that topic, instead asking, "Senior Sister Luo, what brings you here? You didn't just come to ask me why I helped you, did you?"
Luo Mengxuan then came to her senses and quickly said, "I heard you're looking for the Qiyun Flower?"
“Yes, I am indeed looking for the Qiyun Flower. Does Senior Sister Luo have the Qiyun Flower?” Ye Feng asked.
“I don’t have any Qiyun flowers on hand, but I know where to find them readily available.”
Before Ye Feng could ask any more questions, Luo Mengxuan continued, "The Gao family of Tianyuan City is a family of doctors with hundreds of years of history. The Gao family has more than one Qiyun Flower. Moreover, I have a close relationship with the current head of the Gao family, Gao Dongming. We are friends despite our age difference, so he will not be stingy."
"Junior Brother Ye, if you need the Qiyun Flower, why don't you come with me? I'll get you one!"
A hint of surprise appeared on Ye Feng's face.
The Qiyun Flower is indeed what Yefeng needs right now, and it will be of great help to him.
As long as he obtains the Qiyun Flower, Ye Feng's injuries will be partially healed, and his strength will naturally increase by one level.
"Senior Sister Luo, is this your way of repaying me?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
"I guess so," Luo Mengxuan nodded.
“Alright, then I’ll go with you,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan left their residence together and flew towards the mountain gate.
After leaving the Xuanji Sect, Luo Mengxuan took out the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud.
Ye Feng didn't stand on ceremony and boarded Luo Mengxuan's flying artifact, heading towards Tianyuan City with her.
Tianyuan City is also a large city. Although it cannot compare to Taixuan City, it is much stronger than Liyue City.
Tianyuan City is not particularly far from Taixuan City, only about 400 li in total.
So, a little over an hour later, Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan arrived at Tianyuan City and stood outside the gate of the Gao family compound.
"Who goes there? Stop right there!"
The Gao family guards, who were responsible for guarding the courtyard gate, immediately reprimanded Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan when they saw them.
Luo Mengxuan stepped forward, frowning, and said, "Are you all blind? You can't even recognize me?!"
The two guards from the Gao family carefully examined Luo Mengxuan for a few moments, and then their expressions turned to shock.
"Oh, it's Miss Luo. I'm so sorry."
"Miss Luo, what brings you to the Gao family?"
The two bodyguards greeted him with ingratiating smiles.
"Enough with the nonsense, go and report it!" Luo Mengxuan ordered.
Yes, yes, yes.
The two guards readily agreed, and one of them immediately ran into the courtyard.
Before long, an old man dressed in a black robe hurriedly came out and bowed to Luo Mengxuan as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard gate.
"This person is the Gao family's butler, named Bai Yunwei," Luo Mengxuan explained.
Bai Yunwei said with a smile, "May I ask what brings Miss Luo here at this hour? Could it be that you have come to treat our master?"
"Treatment? What happened to Grandpa Gao?" Luo Mengxuan asked.
"Miss Luo, don't you know? Our patriarch suddenly fell into a coma three days ago and has not woken up since. My young lady has invited countless famous doctors to treat him, but to no avail. When I saw you, Miss Luo, suddenly come here with a young master, I thought this person was the divine doctor you invited for our patriarch."
Luo Mengxuan frowned deeply.
She truly hadn't expected such bad luck; the Gao family patriarch had just fallen into a coma due to illness.
This is actually quite troublesome.
“Go in and take a look; perhaps I can heal him,” Ye Feng said.
"Alright, let's go in."
As Luo Mengxuan spoke, she led Ye Feng toward Bai Yunwei and said, "Steward Bai, this is my junior brother Ye Feng. He is proficient in alchemy and has unparalleled medical skills. He can treat your patriarch."
"Please come in quickly, please follow me."
Bai Yunwei quickly led the way.
The Gao family compound is very large, almost like a garden.
Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan followed Bai Yunwei through many twists and turns before finally entering the inner courtyard.
As soon as Ye Feng stepped into the main hall on the first floor of the inner residence, he saw a lot of people standing there, and all of them were dressed in luxurious clothes, which made it clear that they were people of extraordinary status.
They must all be members of the Gao family.
An unconscious old man sat slumped on a grand chair in the hall. This old man was none other than Gao Dongming, the head of the Gao family.
Gao Dongming's face was pale, even his lips had lost their color, and he looked very unwell.
But at that moment, a young man who looked very effeminate was standing next to Gao Dongming, treating him.
