Chapter 2748: Taking a Different Route
When he saw them fighting, the elderly man just spared them a glance and told Feng Jiu, “I’m not going to bother you, Young Friend, with their problems.” With the help of He Shu, he stood up and gave a salute to Feng Jiu. “Thank you for saving me. I, Ye Huai, will never forget it as long as I live.”
Feng Jiu did not reject it and instead accepted his salute. She turned to face the Xie family’s father and son without saying anything more. “When are you going home, Old Patriarch?”
Old Patriarch Xie responded, “I’m all set to go. So, how about you? When are you going to leave?”
“Tomorrow.” She stated.
“Shall we go together?” Old Patriarch Xie asked.
Feng Jiu shook her head. “No, the place I’m going takes a different route.” While she was talking, her face changed all of a sudden. Her gaze shifted and fell into the distant woods.
Others saw this and looked in the direction she was looking, but all they saw was the quiet rustling of leaves.
“It’s getting late, so let’s take a rest here and leave together tomorrow.” Looking at the Xie father and son, He Shu said, “I have not yet introduced myself. He is my surname, and Shu is my given name. So, how about the two of you?”
“Xie is my last name, and Yan is my given name. This is my father.” Xie Yan replied, introducing himself briefly.
“But what kind of trouble are you in, Young Friend?” The elderly man, Ye Huai, inquired. After all, he had been in a lot of different situations. That small movement just now had caught his attention.
“Just some minor issues. Nothing of any significance.” Feng Jiu said, showing that she did not take it to heart.
...
Gradually, the result of the battle there was apparent. However, after killing those people, the remaining eight or nine men were also injured and in a mess. They wiped their swords clean and put them away before approaching the elderly man. When they observed that the elderly man’s spirit had much improved, they were astounded.
“Old Patriarch?”
“I was rescued by this young friend. I’m fine now.” The elderly man replied, looking at Feng Jiu.
Those eight or nine men immediately stepped forward and saluted Feng Jiu with gratitude. “Thank you for saving our Old Patriarch!”
“Your Old Patriarch has already thanked me, so you don’t have to thank me anymore.” Feng Jiu waved her hand.
Several of them looked at her intently. Among them were people familiar with medicine. They had already seen the Old Patriarch’s earlier condition. Now the elderly man could stand up, his breath had now been smooth and steady, and there was no longer any concern for his survival. Her method was obviously exceptional.
However, they were astonished that she had saved their grandfather without asking for anything in return. Is there such a person in the world who saves people without expecting a reward?
The three families, the Ye, the He, and the Xie, along with Feng Jiu, sat in a circle. As a group, these people’s combined strengths and numbers were rather astounding.
Someone in the dark stared at Feng Jiu and then quietly disappeared as if he had never appeared.
People sat around and talked in the dark night. Due to their connection with Feng Jiu, the three families who were previously unfamiliar with one another became acquainted. They agreed to leave together.
It was a quiet night. The people who hid in the darkness did not appear, allowing them to rest well. The following morning, more people arrived one by one to go up the Immortal Ascension Ladder.
Feng Jiu, who had no plans to travel together with them, also bid everyone farewell at this time.
