Chu Heng led Yun Lintian to a simple wooden house in a relatively remote place in the town.
"Father, Mother, We're back." Opening the door, Chu Heng shouted loudly.
?
A while later, a middle-aged man and woman walked into the living room from the backyard. Both of them wore farming attires; evidently, they just came back from the field.
The middle-aged woman approached Chu Heng and Chu Mi, looking up and down with worry, and heaved a sigh of relief after discovering there was no fatal wound on them. "Thank god, both of you've returned safely. Mom thinks both of you shouldn't go out again from now on. The vegetables in the backyard should be enough for the four of us."
Chu Heng patted his mother's hand and said, "Don't worry, Mother. We've gained a lot of rewards this time. It should be enough for one year's worth of food." Following that, he placed a large leather bag on the ground.
Chu Heng's father was relieved after seeing his son and daughter returned safely. It was this time did he notice there was a person behind his son's back. "Son, who is this young man?"
Chu Heng stepped to the side and introduced. "This is Senior Ye. He has helped us along the way here." He did not intend to hide Yun Lintian's merit, but he didn't want his parents to worry.
Yun Lintian also understood this point and said nothing about this matter. Helping Chu's siblings was a matter of raising hands for him. He put the bag full of the Grey Wolf's meat aside and greeted. "Hello uncle and aunty, my name is Ye Xiu. You can call me by my name directly."
Chu Heng's mother smiled brightly and grabbed Yun Lintian's hand. "Thank you for helping my son and daughter. I don't have anything to repay you, but I can give you a good meal."
Yun Lintian smiled and said politely, "You don't have to, Aunty. I have my own ration."
Chu Heng's mother shook her head with a smile that never faded away from her face. "How could it be? You are our guest. Just take a seat here. I'll prepare the food right away." She quickly went to the kitchen afterward, giving Yun Lintian no chance to refuse.
Chu Mi came to Yun Lintian's side and said, "Please accept our gratitude, Senior."
Yun Lintian had no choice but to accept their hospitality.
Chu Heng told Chu Mi to clean herself, and he accompanied Yun Lintian with his father.
"Young man, may I ask where are you come from?" Chu Heng's father poured a cup of water for Yun Lintian and asked.
Yun Lintian received the cup politely and replied, "I come from the Sky Fall Nation on the south. I am currently traveling to gain experience and happen to pass by here."
"Sky Fall Nation… Isn't it very far from here?" A frown appeared on the wrinkled face of Chu Heng's father as he said. He lived in this Hazy Breeze Town for all his life, but he had read the Northern Continent's geography book before. He could remember vaguely the Sky Fall Nation was extremely far away from here.
Yun Lintian answered, "Indeed, it's far from this place. It's located next to the War Song Nation."
Chu Heng's father took a sip of water and pointed at the leather bag at the door. "Why don't you toss it away? Don't you know the meat can't be eaten?"
Yun Lintian replied, "I know this, Uncle. I am proficient in the medical profound art, and right now, I try to find a cure for the poison. So I need these meats to do an experiment."
"You are studying medicine?" Che Heng's father was surprised. "That's good. If you can find a cure for this poison, everyone here doesn't have to suffer anymore… I wish you success, young man."
"I'll try my best, Uncle." Yun Lintian replied humbly. Of course, he already knew how to deal with this poison, but he would never take the Profound Spirit Liquid out. Perhaps he could develop a detoxifying pill in the near future.
Yun Lintian and Chu Heng's father talked on various topics until Chu Heng's mother came out with several dishes and called them to eat.
Looking at various dishes on the table, Yun Lintian knew Chu Heng's mother must empty her family's preserved supply. He was distressed as it was actually unnecessary for her to do this, but he couldn't say anything further as the foods were already made.
"Come, try this." Chu Heng's mother picked up a roasted carrot and put it in Yun Lintian's bowl.
Yun Lintian smiled politely and took a bite of it. A moment later, he exclaimed. "Delicious!" He didn't try to be polite, but this roasted carrot was genuinely delicious.
Chu Heng's mother smiled from ear to ear upon hearing this, and she beckoned him to eat more.
Bang!
Just as everyone was enjoying eating, the front door was suddenly blasted away with a loud bang. Yun Lintian reacted quickly and used his profound energy to grab the flying door before putting it down.
"What are you guys eating? Why don't you give me some?" A stout man appeared at the entrance and said playfully while looking at Yun Lintian from head to toe.
"What do you mean by doing this, Mo Changfei!?" Chu Heng stood up and shouted angrily.
"What do I mean? Of course, I come to pick up some interests." The stout man, Mo Changfei, chuckled. He glanced at the leather bag nearby the door and frowned. "Who the hell putting this here? Do you want to die?"
He discovered the profound beast's meat in the bag and didn't understand why Chu Heng would take it back with him.
"It's me who put it there. Do you have a problem?" Yun Lintian said calmly. From Mo Changfei's aura earlier, he could see this person had strength at the tenth level of Essence Profound Realm. Yun Lintian was confident he could deal with him.
In Yun Lintian's right hand were three silver needles. He could throw them at Mo Changfei at any time if he rushed at him.
"Problem? Yes, I have it." Mo Changfei squinted at Yun Lintian and smiled disdainfully. He observed Yun Lintian earlier and discovered Yun Lintian was only the first level of Essence Profound Realm. Mo Changfei was confident he could kill Yun Lintian with one slap.
