The next morning, the Wu family sent a car to wait at the foot of the mountain.
Ye Lan brought almost no luggage and traveled light with a small entourage. After leaving the backyard, he waited for Wu Heng in the front hall.
Although Wu Heng was not valued, he was going on a long journey after all, and I think he wanted to say goodbye to his elders.
She sat in the front hall, drinking tea and watching the disciples coming in and out. She found that many of them were very young, and most of the older ones were blind in one eye or had scars on their faces that looked hideous.
As the housekeeper passed by, she asked, "What's going on with these people?"
Hearing this, the housekeeper sighed and explained the life stories of these unfortunate people. "They're actually all farmers from nearby. Seven years ago, a global catastrophe occurred. Overnight, many rare and exotic animals appeared in Feitian Ferry. At the foot of the mountain, a monster suddenly transformed into a human form, its magical powers increased greatly, and it specialized in eating people's left eyes. Many villagers suffered as a result and lost their ability to work."
"The old sect leader took pity on them and brought them all to Feitian Ferry. They either found work in the scenic area or did odd jobs at the Pharmacist Sect, which was a way to keep them fed. It's just a shame that the monster hasn't been caught in all these years. There have been several bounties offered, but there's been no response. Lately, people are starting to panic again."
Where there is light, there is darkness. In the past, the spiritual energy enveloped the entire Feitian Ferry, nourishing not only humans and strange beasts, but also demons and monsters.
Now it has become a hidden danger.
Ye Lan lowered his eyes and looked at the bit of fresh green floating in the teacup, his expression unclear.
After a while, Wu Heng still didn't show up, so Ye Lan simply got up and left the front hall. When he walked outside the newly built pharmacy, he suddenly heard several disciples chatting inside.
"Our young master is so pitiful. Even with his status and position, he still has to do errands and even missed the summit. I feel angry for him just thinking about it."
"Who says it's not true? So many things have been delayed just to get that sickly beauty back home. I'm afraid the young master will have to carry her on his back along the mountain road himself."
"That's absolutely impossible. The young master is the most ruthless person in the modern era. He wouldn't even blink an eye when many daughters of powerful sects try to win his favor. He will definitely get rid of this burden halfway."
…
Ye Lan, who was outside the archway, listened for a while and was sure that the delicate canary backed by a wealthy sponsor was actually herself. He couldn't help but find it funny.
It would be a shame if these people didn’t become screenwriters with their editing skills.
There were footsteps approaching from behind, and a hand was placed on her shoulder. Ye Lan turned around and saw Wu Heng and a large pile of luggage behind him.
"Have you been waiting for so long? I'm sorry, I have too many things to bring." Wu Heng saw where her gaze was, his face felt a little hot for a moment, and he explained awkwardly.
Ye Lan originally wanted to remind him that this trip was just an escort and he was not going to live with her permanently in Xuanzong's house. However, he was embarrassed and shy, and thought that it was okay to bring more luggage, since there would be a special car to pick him up anyway.
At this time, several disciples rushed out of the gate and greeted Wu Heng excitedly.
"That's perfect. You can help carry the luggage." Wu Heng nodded and randomly selected a lucky audience member.
However, the disciples seemed to like him very much. They were willing to do even such a hard job. Although they looked thin, they were actually very strong. They could carry two suitcases each and walk away.
Just because I don’t blame Wu Heng doesn’t mean I have no opinion about Ye Lan.
These people had just been making fun of her in the yard, and now they were even more crazy about complaining about the dozen or so suitcases.
"You're crazy! Where did this young lady come from? She's carrying so many things when she goes out. She really treats the young master as a porter."
"Support the Young Sect Master to rise up. We, the Pharmacist Sect, don't need to be servile and fearful. No one can force the Young Sect Master to serve a young lady like this if he doesn't want to!"
...Several people were muttering to each other while carrying their luggage, and they were all filled with righteous indignation.
But the next second, they heard their young master say attentively, "I've prepared a separate set of everything you've been used to in the Pharmacist Sect over the past few years. That's bedding and toiletries, and here are clothes, shoes, and socks for all seasons. I've also prepared a tent if you want to camp along the way. See if you need anything else. I'm afraid my preparations aren't comprehensive enough."
The boy's voice was earnest and slightly excited, like a child about to go on a long journey, as he walked around the luggage and introduced them to Ye Lan one by one.
Ye Lan then realized that most of the things belonged to him. He felt ashamed and helpless and said, "I'm not that particular. The things I need are already in my backpack. You can keep these."
Hearing this, Wu Heng looked at her carrying a small bag, opened his mouth, and after a long while, he compromised and replied, "Okay."
The mood seems a little low.
Seeing this, Ye Lan shook his head helplessly and walked towards the door.
Wu Heng calmed down in a second and hurried to catch up, fearing that he would be left behind if he was a second late.
The group of disciples carrying luggage in the yard behind him were all dumbfounded.
What about the agreement that I would be escorted unwillingly?
Didn’t you agree to quit halfway?
If this wasn't their young master, just based on his clinginess, everyone would have complained: What a worthless man!
Although it is not the peak tourist season during holidays, the number of tourists visiting Feitian Ferry is several times more than when Ye Lan first came here. The various tourist attractions have to expand their space to barely accommodate so many people.
Walking down the stairs, in addition to the rare animals in the forest, you can also see the shadows of several houses in the distance.
"Is there anyone living inside?" Ye Lan asked.
Wu Heng followed her gaze and nodded, his eyes sparkling. "Because Feitian Ferry is now one of the places in the world of immortal cultivation with abundant spiritual energy, many cultivators come here because of its reputation. It wouldn't be appropriate for them to stay at the Medicine Master Sect, so we built wooden houses for them to cultivate. The response has been very good, and the reservations for these houses are already booked up for several years into the future."
