Chapter 941: Keeping a Promise
readx;? The young master of the Yao family, when he heard the old man surnamed Ni say this, tears poured down uncontrollably, and his voice trembled and said: "Second grandfather, don't say that, no matter what, I must bring you back to the family, and grandpa will definitely be able to save you by all means." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoggaawβ
The old man surnamed Ni looked at the young man kindly, gently stroked his hair, and said: "My eldest brother, no matter how good he is, after all, he is still a man and not a god, and I know this old bone best." Don't be too sad, I can bring you here, and I can be more or less relieved. β
"No, no, I want my second grandfather to be well, and I want my second grandfather to watch me grow up. β
The boy cried very sadly, and when he spoke, his voice was already trembling and he was out of breath. Zuo Feng was not used to this kind of scene, so he quietly retreated, leaving room for the two of them to communicate alone.
He was somewhat able to understand the young man's mood in his heart, and he tried his best to rescue Teng Xiaoyun from the enemy, but found that Teng Xiaoyun had been deeply poisoned, and his mood at that time was similar to that of the young man.
It was precisely because he understood the young man's pain at this time that he did not interrupt or urge him to hurry as soon as possible, but silently walked to the side of the big tree. In fact, walking so far, for Zuo Feng's keen hearing, as long as he wants to, he can still hear the conversation between the two.
However, as soon as Zuo Feng came, he had to seize the time to breathe and restore himself to the best state, and even if he took the antidote pill, he still had to use it all to avoid even a trace of poison remaining in his body. To do this well, he must be attentive and undistracted.
While operating his spiritual power, Zuo Feng found that the detoxification substance released by this pill seemed to be able to stay in his body for a long time. This means that in a short period of time, even if you encounter the so-called "falling star fog" again, you don't need to worry at all, and the residual substances in your body will continue to detoxify.
While the exercises were running, Zuo Feng also calmed down, and it wasn't until he heard footsteps slowly leaning in that he opened his eyes. The person who came was the old man surnamed Ni, the old man at this time looked much weaker than just now, and his cultivation had also fallen from the first level of the Qi Feeling Period to the peak of the Tempering Period, and his breath seemed to be slowly falling.
Seeing the old man's situation at this time, Zuo Feng also guessed that the old man's breath would probably keep falling, and until the aura finally dissipated, he would also come to the end of his life.
The old man found that Zuo Feng looked at the sadness that flashed in his eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Little brother, you are not very old, but your knowledge is extraordinary, and you should have guessed that I don't have much time left." β
Zuo Feng didn't hide it, and nodded directly.
The old man smiled slightly and sat down beside Zuo Feng, and said casually: "Little brother probably knows who I am now, but I don't know much about little brother, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to tell me about this dying old man." β
Zuo Feng turned his head and glanced at the old man surnamed Ni, and then looked into the distance, and saw that the young man was always standing in the distance, and he had no intention of coming, and immediately understood that the old man was thinking about himself. I think the old man also saw that he had some secrets, of course, this secret could not be known to outsiders, because his life was short, so he came to inquire alone.
After a slight groan, Zuo Feng spoke: "The previous name has no meaning to you, since I set foot on this land of Xuanwu, my name is Shen Feng, and I am an alchemist. β
"Shen Feng"
The old man muttered and repeated, and suddenly raised his head sharply to look at Zuofeng, and there was a trace of shock and incomprehension in his eyes.
"Are you the one who won the last victory in the Linshan County of the Chosen Medicine Seed, but you shouldn't ......?"
Zuo Feng didn't expect that his name had become so famous now, and it wasn't too long since the competition for selecting medicine in Linshan County City was over, but he didn't expect it to have spread here. However, he also knew that his worries were right, and his name could be spread, obviously someone deliberately did it.
And the person who passed on his name would never have good intentions, and those who could do it with the strength to do this, Zuo Feng already had a few candidates in his heart.
Looking at the old man with a wry smile, Zuo Feng said directly without concealing it: "It is true that there were some accidents after leaving Linshan County, and the team escorting me was attacked, and I also ran out by luck, and I don't know much about what happened later." β
After a slight pause, Zuo Feng continued: "The seniors should have heard some of what happened in Linshan County, some people don't want me to reach the imperial capital alive, so I have to be careful everywhere, and I don't dare to contact any forces casually, even if it is a force that belongs to the empire, I think the seniors should understand me very well." β
After the old man listened, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said coldly: "Today's Xuanwu Empire is no longer the empire that survived in the cracks of other empires, and there is no unity in the heart, your choice is not wrong."
I didn't expect that the person I inadvertently saved here turned out to be the up-and-coming Shen Feng in Linshan County, I really don't know how to sigh. β
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, as if he couldn't let go of some sorrow in his heart, and paused for a while before he continued: "I have already seen that the little brother is good, but I didn't expect that you are that Shen Feng. But you have no less trouble than we do, and I don't know if it's right or wrong to ask you this time.
But until now, I also believe you completely, no one will use Shen Feng's name indiscriminately at this time, which is enough to prove that you are indeed honest enough with me. β
Zuo Feng smiled slightly and said, "Seniors don't have to worry too much, there are not many people who really know me in the Xuanwu Empire, so it's okay to be careful." Since I have promised you, I will do my best to keep your young master safe, and if I can't, I will keep him safe. β
The contradiction in the old man's heart Zuo Feng could understand, he originally hoped to drag someone to take his daughter to a safe place, but he didn't expect that Zuo Feng would be in more trouble here. If he had a choice now, he would naturally not entrust the young master to Zuo Feng, but now he didn't have any other better choice.
The old man surnamed Ni looked at Zuo Feng, not knowing whether he was moved by his sincerity or really had confidence in Zuo Feng, in short, he nodded lightly in the end.
"Then I will ask you, old man, no matter what, you have to send the young master away for me, he is very important to the Yao family, and there must be no mistakes. There are more than 80 people who came out this time, except for one of whom defected, and everyone else, including me, was finished, I hope you will protect the young master for the sake of the old man and me saving you. β
As soon as the old man said this, he turned over, and one leg was bent and had touched the ground. Zuo Feng knew that the old man was going to make a big gift at this time, how could he accept such a big gift from the other party, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the old man.
With the old man's cultivation and strength, he thought that if he wanted to salute, even if the other party was unwilling, he would not be able to stop it. But when Zuo Feng grabbed himself with both hands, his body couldn't kneel hard. This time, the old man was surprised, and there was a hint of joy and excitement in his eyes.
He didn't know much about Zuo Feng, let alone Zuo Feng's strength, but on the surface, he just looked at the young man's cultivation at the peak of the third level of the tempering stage. With this kind of cultivation at such an age, it is extremely difficult to meet one in the big family, so he still has a little confidence in Zuo Feng.
But when he knelt down, the young man in front of him was able to stop it with his strength alone, which completely caught him a little off guard, and at the same time, he saw part of Zuo Feng's strength clearly. Seeing that Zuo Feng had such a strong strength, he was a little relieved, and at the same time, he was even more assured of the safety of the young master.
"No matter what, I really thank you, old man. Maybe I shouldn't say that, but if you can send the young master back safely, our Yao family will definitely give you a good reward. β
Zuo Feng knew that sending this young master of the Yao family back safely would inevitably take a great risk, if he was just greedy for benefits, why should he take this risk. However, Zuo Feng did not refuse, because it was a bit hypocritical, even if the Yao family owed him a love, this love might be of great use to him in the future.
Nodding slightly, Zuo Feng said: "The old-timers don't say more, I don't want to make a promise lightly, but as long as I make a promise, even if I go to the soup, I will do my best to fulfill it." β
The old man surnamed Ni saw Zuo Feng's firm gaze, and his words were also true, and finally exhaled a long breath, and then smiled and hugged his fists, and said: "Then let's say goodbye, I will continue to move forward, my old man doesn't care what route you want to take, my young master has a map there, you can decide for yourself." β
After saying that, the old man turned around and walked towards the front with his steps, and the speed was much slower than when he had just arrived. Back then, he still had two people with him, and now he was still not fast on the road alone, and it was foreseeable that he would not be able to go far.
Zuo Feng rushed at the old man's back and gave a fist salute. Although the old man did not look back at this small movement, he had already noticed it, and there was also a smile on his wrinkled face, and there was satisfaction in this smile, and he couldn't see that this was the expression left by a person who was going to die calmly.
The young master saw the old man leaving from a distance, and subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but after walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and immediately stopped.
Zuo Feng watched the old man fade away and disappear from sight, and then he walked towards the young master. The impression that this young master gave himself was actually not very good, and he was completely the kind of eldest young master who lacked experience and pampered himself in a big family, but since he had promised the old man, he must try his best to fulfill his promise.
