While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 77 Let me show you my methods

Yue Feng used his finger to seal Madam Canghua's pressure points from a distance, then asked Xiong Zhaozhao, "Can you stand firm?"

Xiong Zhaozhao nodded. She had lost all her internal energy and was very weak, but fortunately the poison had been neutralized and her true energy was slowly recovering.

Yue Feng said, "I'm going to find... another girl. You can rest here for a while."

Xiong Zhaozhao hummed in agreement. Yue Feng turned around and saw Yue Lingshan leaning on her long sword with one hand and holding two strings of candied hawthorns in the other, limping up the long slope.

Yue Lingshan was stunned by the scene at the top of the long slope. Yue Feng went over to help her, saying, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me down there?"

Yue Lingshan felt that Yue Feng's tone was very familiar, but his voice was one she had never heard before. This huge contrast made her wonder if there was something wrong with her ears.

Yue Feng reached out to help her up, and although she was slightly embarrassed and annoyed, she inexplicably let him support her. This was something that Yue Lingshan, who was known for her chastity, had never experienced before.

"You said it, but I didn't agree to it."

Yue Lingshan reluctantly agreed, only to feel a surge of intense heat emanating from Yue Feng's hand, which searched through her meridians. Wherever it passed, it felt warm and comforting, not only neutralizing the poison of the bewitching mist but also causing some kind of miraculous change in her meridians.

Yue Lingshan's internal energy cultivation was not deep enough to explain the details of this change, but she understood that Yue Feng must have used the opportunity of detoxification to give her a great benefit.

But why would this unfamiliar young man do this? They were complete strangers. Could it be… he was Yue Feng's friend, or perhaps her father had done him a favor?

Feng Yue, Yue Feng, isn't Feng Yue just Yue Feng reversed? Could it be...?

Yue Lingshan glanced at the candied hawthorn in her hand, then looked at Yue Feng, her expression changing. Yue Feng noticed the change in her gaze and used a secret telepathic communication technique to say to her, "Sister, you've lost weight. I have some things to take care of and can't go home for the time being. Don't tell anyone except our parents."

Yue Lingshan felt a surge of heat in her chest, and tears streamed down her face. Yue Feng took out a plain handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Yue Lingshan.

When Yue Lingshan saw that a long, crooked blue sword was embroidered in the middle of the plain handkerchief, which was the one she had embroidered for Yue Feng when she first learned needlework, tears welled up in her eyes.

Xiong Zhaozhao's impatient voice came over: "Hey, what are you two babbling about? What are we going to do with this woman?"

Yue Feng patted Yue Lingshan's arm, a gesture so intimate that Xiong Zhaozhao frowned. Yue Feng turned and smiled, "You two ladies are the ones in charge, so I'll listen to you."

Xiong Zhaozhao looked at Yue Lingshan, who was older than her, so she wanted Yue Lingshan to speak first.

Yue Lingshan, unfamiliar with this situation, hesitated, "Should we hand her over to the authorities? The Six Doors?"

Xiong Zhaozhao said, "Why has Madam Canghua been able to escape justice until today? It's because she's a retainer of the Xie family. As long as the Xie family still exists, handing her over to the government or the Six Doors is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains."

Yue Feng added, "We can hand it over, after all, this guy's head is worth a good reward. However, he can't be alive."

Yue Lingshan sighed, "Alright, I'll listen to you. Zhaozhao, what do you say?"

Xiong Zhaozhao said coldly, "I don't have the strength to deal with that slut myself. Feng Yue, could you use two methods to deal with her, one for me and one for Sister Lingshan?"

Yue Feng smiled slightly: "What a coincidence, I have two finger techniques, one is 'Golden Wind and Jade Dew' and the other is 'Maha Vajra'. Now I'll show you my skills."

Yue Lingshan said shyly, "You...you should cover her up first...Hey! Where are you looking!"

Yue Feng ignored Yue Lingshan and walked straight towards Madam Canghua. Xiong Zhaozhao looked back and forth between the two who had suddenly become close, her suspicion growing stronger.

As the thick fog dissipated, the woods fell silent once more.

Yue Feng carried Yue Lingshan, who had sprained her ankle, ahead of him, while Xiong Zhaozhao lagged behind alone, her resentful gaze never leaving the two people who were stuck together.

She couldn't understand why Yue Lingshan, as the daughter of "Gentleman Sword" Yue Buqun, should be a well-bred young lady with strict family education. Why did she eagerly climb onto Yue Feng's back after he only said a few polite words to her?

She could carry it too, though perhaps not as steadily as Yue Feng.

After finishing the skewer of candied hawthorns in her hand, Yue Lingshan turned to Xiong Zhaozhao and asked, "Zhaozhao, are you really not going to eat any? The candied hawthorns Feng Yue bought are so delicious."

Xiong Zhaozhao sneered inwardly, "Ha, we've only known each other for a short time, and they're already calling each other by name. The Huashan Sect's reputation is nothing special." But she said aloud, "No, Sister Lingshan, I don't like sweets."

"Oh." Yue Lingshan didn't think much of it, turned around, and continued eating her second skewer of candied hawthorns. Xiong Zhaozhao quickly caught up and asked Yue Feng, "Where are we going next?"

Without hesitation, Yue Feng replied, "Let's go back to your home first. I need a place to treat Miss Yue's injuries."

When Xiong Zhaozhao heard that Yue Feng wanted to take Yue Lingshan to her house, although she and Yue Lingshan had a good relationship, she was still a little reluctant. Yue Lingshan then said:

"Feng Yue, please take me to the south gate of Huayin City. I've arranged to meet my senior brothers and sisters there. Just leave me with them, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

Yue Feng replied, "The distance from Huayin City to Mount Hua is quite far. With your mobility issues, climbing the mountain at night would be too dangerous. Don't worry, I'll take care of your senior brothers and sisters. Leave everything to me."

Yue Lingshan gave a soft "oh" and fell silent. Xiong Zhaozhao, watching from behind, was dumbfounded. "Weren't you being quite sensible just now? Why didn't you just hold on a little longer!"

Not long after, Yue Lingshan's soft snoring began to rise from Yue Feng's back. Xiong Zhaozhao looked up and saw Yue Lingshan's mouth agape, drool dripping onto Yue Feng's clothes. She lowered her voice, exasperated, and said to Yue Feng:

"Feng Yue! What did you do to Sister Ling Shan? How come she suddenly acts like she's known you for decades, trusting you so much?"

Yue Feng smiled and countered, "Are you worried about her, or about me? Or perhaps about yourself?"

Xiong Zhaozhao didn't say a single word to Yue Feng the whole way.

……

Almost at the same time that Xiong Zhaozhao and Yue Lingshan met Madam Canghua, a unique night banquet was being held inside the Weihe Gang's headquarters.

Besides Xiong Tianba, Liang Tangzhu, and several other hall masters of the Weihe Gang in Huayin, there was also a group of special guests attending the banquet.

These guests, who were enemies of the Weihe Gang just a few days ago, are now happily attending the banquet at Xiong Tianba's enthusiastic invitation. They are none other than the two clerks of the Dafeng Gang, along with their gang leaders!
