Chapter 21: Departure
Five days is a time for a martial artist, but in the blink of an eye, it is fleeting, Ling Yue stopped cultivating in these five days and spent time with his family, because he knew that after he joined the Floating Feather Academy, time would probably not be so free.
Judging from Ling Yue's ability and the experience of previous years, Ling Yue's passing the assessment is already a sure thing, even if he only has the ability to fight against the Great Martial Artist, he will also be recruited by the Floating Feather Academy, Ling Ao is sixteen years old this year, but the Great Martial Master is intermediate, and he is still considered by the world to be a genius with demons, not to mention Ling Yue, who is two years younger than Ling Ao, and is already able to kill a high-level martial general.
On August 1, 2288 in the Tianxuan calendar, this day was the day when Ling Yue left home and rushed to Piaoyu Academy.
The night before leaving, the whole Hou Mansion held a family banquet, Ling Yue had the last dinner with his family, during which his mother Zhao Wan'er's eyes were red, and two tears were shed from time to time, but she always showed a happy smile to Ling Yue, Ling Yue was also uncomfortable when she saw this, so she wrote "The Wanderer's Yin" for her mother: the line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt, the dense sewing before leaving, the fear of returning late, who said an inch of carelessness, and reported Sanchunhui. Zhao Wan'er was moved to tears.
At the family banquet, Ling Zhentian told Ling Yue that the Piaoyu Academy was at the junction of the three empires, and asked him to rush to the Teleportation City in a month, because there was the only teleportation array in the Southern Lin Country, and the teleportation array would teleport it to the place where the five super sects would receive the assessment personnel, and then there would be special people to receive him.
"I'm leaving home, I'm about to embark on another journey, I'm here at Drifting Feather Academy." Ling Yue rode a breeze horse and muttered quietly. At this time, Ling Yue had been away from home for three days.
Qingfeng Horse is a low-level beast guard, and it has no attack power, but its speed is indeed very fast, and its patience is high, ordinary people can't subdue it and make it a mount, only a big force like Hou Fu can do it. In the past three days, Ling Yue had already walked out of the Imperial City and began to march towards Qingyang City.
The Teleportation City is located in the northern part of Nanlin, and it is necessary to cross the Imperial City, Qingyang City, Miao City, and Iwaki City before reaching the Teleportation City. Since passing through Qingyang City, Ling Yue still decided to go and see Liu Menghan, after all, the two had already formed a deep friendship, and of course there seemed to be some affection. However, Ling Yue didn't think about the relationship between men and women for the time being, and he was still focusing on cultivating magic.
Qingyang City is not big, but because it is close to the imperial city, Qingyang City is lively and prosperous, and the streets are full of pedestrians, Ling Yue doesn't know where Liu Menghan's family lives, but he remembers that Liu Menghan seems to have said that their family is called the Medicine King family, so Ling Yue casually stopped a person and asked: "I'm sorry, dare to ask where the Medicine King family is."
"I don't know... That one.. If you go about 100 meters further, turn right and you will see the mansion of the Yao Wang family."
"Thank you"
Originally, the man was talking and laughing with his female companion when he was suddenly disturbed and naturally angry, so he casually said that he didn't know, but when he turned his head and saw that Ling Yue was extraordinary, he was born in a rich and noble family, so he quickly changed his words.
"The Medicine King Family, the Medicine King is dying, and the Medicine King's Mansion is going to be gone, hey. After Ling Yue left, the man said.
Ling Yue followed the man's prompt, and sure enough, he found the Medicine King's Mansion, but Ling Yue's brows were furrowed, because at this time, not only was there not a single guest in the Medicine King's Mansion, but there were also constant sounds of fighting.
"If you want me to say, hurry up and marry Menghan, if it's not someone else's family, will you still wronged Menghan?" A male voice said.
"Yes, if Menghan is still at home, I'm afraid the Ouyang family won't agree, and the Medicine King's Mansion should be disbanded if it goes on like this," a female voice chimed in.
Ling Yue slowly approached and saw two men and a woman fighting in the mansion. "Why, this is originally a family matter, and it has nothing to do with Menghan, why sacrifice Menghan in exchange for the interests of the family, I will never agree." The other man retorted loudly.
"Second brother, I know you love your daughter, but which of us as elders doesn't hurt her, now the family is in crisis, as long as we marry Menghan to the Ouyang family, not only will the crisis be lifted, but in the future, our Medicine King's Mansion will have a solid foundation in Qingyang City, which will be beneficial to our development and harmless, if you don't agree again, then wait for the eldest brother to come and we will raise our hands to vote." The woman said again.
"Now that my father is critically ill, and the Ouyang family is taking advantage of the fire to rob, not only do you not work together, but you also want to send Menghan to the wolf's den, I am really... The man known as the second brother angrily pointed at a man and a woman in front of him, unable to speak.
Ling Yue watched it for a long time, and he could probably guess what was going on, it was nothing more than that the Medicine King's Mansion was in trouble, but Liu Menghan became the only way to solve this dilemma, so everyone would discuss whether to hand over Liu Menghan. The man called the second brother is probably Liu Menghan's father.
Thinking of this, Ling Yue stepped forward and said, "Hello uncle, I am a friend of Menghan, dare to ask where Menghan is now?"
Everyone was arguing passionately just now, and they didn't notice Ling Yue entering the room. Before Liu Menghan's father could answer, another man shouted first: "Who are you, who let you come in casually, get out of here." Ling Yue frowned slightly, but because the other party was Liu Menghan's elder, Ling Yue didn't react much.
Liu Menghan's father glared at the man fiercely, and then said to Ling Yue gently: "Menghan is taking care of his grandfather in the inner courtyard, you can go find her yourself." Hearing this, Ling Yue walked towards the inner courtyard.
"Stop, how can someone like you enter the inner courtyard?Today, my Medicine King's Mansion is inconvenient, you hurry up" Although Ling Yue's appearance was extraordinary, this person didn't seem to take it to heart.
Hearing the man insulting himself again and again, Ling Yue was also furious, so he turned his head and released a murderous aura, and the man instantly felt as if he was going to die, and he collapsed on the ground with a thud. The woman who originally wanted to speak out to support her husband was also stunned and didn't say a word, seeing this scene Liu Menghan's father's eyes radiated a light of hope.
When Ling Yue entered the inner courtyard, he found a woman frowning slightly, thin lips, slightly pale, her hair tied in a bun, wearing a white long gauze robe, her wrists were as white as frost and snow, and her fingers were holding a long spoon to feed medicine to the old man lying on the bed, isn't this woman Liu Menghan.
"Menghan, are you okay?" Ling Yue asked Liu Menghan as he stood in the courtyard. Liu Menghan's hand that was feeding the medicine stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Ling Yue, and tears fell down in clusters.
Liu Menghan put down the medicine in his hand, ran towards Ling Yue, and then snuggled his head against this man who was younger than his age and said, "Ling Yue, what should I do, I really can't stand it these days, if it weren't for you buried in my heart, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to bear it a long time ago."
These days, her grandfather, who has always loved her, suddenly became critically ill, and the uncle, second uncle, and second aunt all forced her to marry the Ouyang family in exchange for the peace of the Liu family. It is conceivable how many grievances Liu Menghan has endured in his heart.
"Well, don't cry, from now on everything will be handed over to me, and I will fight your pain for you," Ling Yue said solemnly at this moment.
