C4187 Hand over the Money
Ye Xuan's face was pale-white. He couldn't accept this news.
"Don't worry. I didn't look after Ye Feng well. I will find him."
He blamed himself in his heart. He should have come out and saved Ye Feng earlier, not let him use the golden thread, causing his whereabouts to be unknown.
If it wasn't for the fact that their fates were connected, the General would have been worried that Ye Feng was already dead. Now, he could ensure that Ye Feng's life was safe, but his whereabouts were unknown.
"Logically speaking, with his cultivation base, even if he activated the Golden Thread, he would only be able to travel a few thousand miles at most. Why can't I find him?"
Lord Tong couldn't help but frown. He had found all the places where Ye Feng could have appeared, but there was no clue at all. This made him feel very depressed.
When Ye Qingtian and Ye Xuan heard the general's words, they did not refuse. The Ye Family was still in danger and they had yet to come into contact with it. The people from the Freezing Frost Country and the Northern Cold Country had also appeared in the East Dongyang County. They were ready to attack at any time. They had to guard the Ye Family and could not leave.
"I'll go now!"
Without hesitation, the General turned around and left. He had to find Ye Feng as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Ye Feng fell into the hands of the Snow-Shaking Country, things would become even more troublesome.
Zhen Shuang Country, Great Desolate City.
Ye Feng sat cross-legged in the broken temple. It had been two days since he appeared here. His cultivation base had recovered by 60%, and his injuries had healed a lot.
During this period, Ye Feng gave the money he had with him to Goudan and told him to go to the restaurant to buy some good wine and food. They also had a good meal with Ye Feng for two days.
"Huuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ye Feng let out a breath of impure air and opened his eyes. A bright light flashed in his eyes, and a beautiful lotus flower vaguely appeared.
"This beautiful lotus changed my physique..."
Ye Feng fell silent. He had originally estimated that it would take three or four days for him to fully recover, but now his recovery speed was extremely fast. At most, he would be able to recover from his injuries in two and a half days and return to his peak condition.
Ye Feng was naturally happy about this. He knew that he had another fortuitous encounter that allowed him to be so lucky to obtain this beautiful lotus flower in front of him. Perhaps it had something to do with his identity as the Son of Tianyun.
"Brother Feng, Brother Feng!"
At this moment, Goudan's excited cry came from outside the dilapidated temple. Goudan ran into the temple with a tray of exquisite food.
"We've bought the food. Let's eat quickly."
Goudan placed the dishes on the table. The exquisite and fragrant dishes made Goudan and the old beggar swallow their saliva.
Ye Feng grinned when he saw them. "Alright, let's eat."
Ye Feng felt a warm feeling in his heart as he watched the old beggar and Goudan wolf down the food. He thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, when my injuries are completely healed, I will take you to buy a house and new clothes."
"Huh?"
The old beggar's eyes widened when he heard this. He had been satisfied with eating and drinking with Ye Feng for the past few days. He couldn't bring himself to ask Ye Feng to pay for a house.
"How can this be? We only need to lift a finger. How can we let you spend so much money, Feng?"
The old beggar and Ye Feng had become familiar with each other in the past few days. Their relationship had become much closer, and the way he addressed Ye Feng had changed from young master to Feng.
Goudan was originally very excited, but when he heard the old beggar's words, the smile on his face immediately disappeared. He looked at Ye Feng cautiously.
"What is this? It's just a house."
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I still have to apologize to you. I originally wanted to take you home to enjoy life, but this Great Desolate City is too far from my home. I can't take you back."
"So I'll buy you a house as an apology. In the future, you can live a peaceful life in the Great Desolate City. I'll come and see you again when I have the chance."
Hearing this, Goudan was stunned, and then his expression became sad. He hesitantly asked, "Brother Feng, are you... leaving?"
"I'll buy you a house tomorrow. I'll leave the day after tomorrow."
Ye Feng nodded with a smile. He knew that Goudan was reluctant to part with him, but the Ye Family needed him, so he had to return as soon as possible.
"Alright, alright..."
Goudan muttered to himself. He lowered his head and didn't say anything else. However, the delicious food in his hand suddenly lost its appetite.
"Hey, what did I say? The little thing is here indeed."
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded outside the temple.
The three in the ruined temple paused for a moment before looking outside. They saw a skinny man in black with a short knife in his hand walk into the ruined temple.
There was a long scar on the skinny man's face, which made his already sinister face look even more terrifying.
"An old fart, a piece of trash, and..."
The skinny man's gaze fell on Ye Feng. His tone paused for a moment, and then he laughed wildly. "A poor scholar!"
Although Ye Feng's clothes were tattered, his temperament was extraordinary. Therefore, the thin man treated Ye Feng as a scholar.
"What... what are you doing?"
When the old beggar saw the thin man, he felt that something was wrong. He subconsciously stood up and protected Ye Feng and Goudan behind him.
"What am I doing?"
The thin man sneered and waved the shining short knife in his hand at the old beggar. The old beggar was so scared that he quickly retreated and almost fell down.
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing the old beggar in such a sorry state, the skinny man laughed proudly and then said loudly, "You guys have been eating and drinking well these days. I, your father, am very greedy!"
"I don't care where you got the money from. Give it all to me. Trash like you deserve to eat so well?"
The skinny man's eyes were dark and his face was greedy. He was here to rob.
"Why should I give it to you? That's Brother Ye Feng's money!"
Goudan retorted loudly, for he had never done anything wrong since he could remember, though he had lived a hard life and begged every day, and could not understand robbery at all.
He clearly had hands and feet, so why would he rob someone else's things?
"Little trash, I don't care whose money you are, hand it over!"
"If you don't hand it over, I will kill this old thing first, then I will kill the poor scholar, and finally I will skin you and break your bones so that you will wish you were dead!"
As soon as this vicious threat came out, Goudan was so scared that his body started to tremble. His small hand that was holding the money was covered in cold sweat.
"Little thing, hurry up and hand it over!"
The thin man shouted coldly and rushed towards the three of them. Seeing that he was about to grab the old beggar, Goudan looked at Ye Feng in confusion.
"Don't worry. He can't take the money away, and you guys will be fine."
Looking at Goudan's terrified eyes, Ye Feng's heart ached for him. He patted Goudan's hand and expressionlessly pulled the old beggar behind him to protect them.
"Oh, what are you trying to do, you poor scholar? Do you want to fight with me?"
The thin man waved his short knife at Ye Feng with a disdainful smile.
