Immortal God of War
The woman lowered her head to look at the youth, tears involuntarily sliding from the corners of her eyes.
"Alas!"
Qin Feiyang let out a silent sigh, turned around silently, and walked away, standing in the yard, looking up at the night sky with a surprising glint of cold light in his eyes.
No one could understand more than he did the pain of losing a loved one.
So in any case, he must investigate the reason for Wang Jin’s disappearance.
Soon after.
Luk Zheng returned, looking at Qin Feiyang in the yard, slightly stunned, and suspiciously asked, "What are you doing standing here alone?"
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly, "Nothing much, just felt a little restless for a moment."
"Is it because of Wang Jin?"
Luk Zheng asked.
Qin Feiyang nodded, withdrew his gaze, and asked, "What did you go out for just now?"
Luk Zheng said, "Actually, I’ve been thinking, could there be something unusual about Wang Jin’s disappearance?"
"Oh?"
Qin Feiyang was taken aback and curiously asked, "How so?"
"Wang Jin was born here, grew up here, she should be familiar with the nearby mountains, so how could she disappear?"
"So I suspect, her disappearance might not be so simple."
"I went out just now to see if there’s anything suspicious in the village."
Luk Zheng said, frowning.
Qin Feiyang laughed, "You really are my dear cousin, you think just like me."
"You thought so too?"
Luk Zheng was stunned.
"Yes."
"I was just talking to Lu Hong about it."
"And I found out that the village chief’s son had once coveted Wang Jin’s beauty."
Qin Feiyang said.
"That might be a clue!"
Luk Zheng’s eyes lit up.
Qin Feiyang nodded, smiled faintly, "Let’s wait for tomorrow then, we’ll go meet him. Oh, can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
Luk Zheng looked at him suspiciously.
Qin Feiyang said, "Where exactly is the Luk Family?"
"Beg me!"
Luk Zheng teased him.
"Fine, don’t tell me then."
Qin Feiyang snorted coldly.
Luk Zheng raised an eyebrow, dissatisfied, "You’re asking someone a question with that attitude?"
"So are you going to tell me or not?"
Qin Feiyang frowned.
"Not telling."
Luk Zheng turned his head, looking elsewhere, full of displeasure on his face.
"Fine, if you don’t want to tell me, then forget it."
Qin Feiyang shot him a cold glance and then leapt into the air, disappearing into the night sky like a flash of lightning.
"This brat, so disrespectful to his elders, seems like I’ll have to teach him well in the future."
Luk Zheng mumbled and grunted a few words, then turned and went into the house.
The next day, early morning!
On a mountain peak near the village, Qin Feiyang opened his eyes, stretched lazily, feeling refreshed and energetic.
That night, he didn’t cultivate, he was simply sleeping.
Since there were no fierce beasts to disturb him here, he slept soundly and comfortably.
"It’s dawn, time to head back."
He glanced at the sun on the horizon, smiled calmly, gathered his spirit, and leapt off the mountain peak, walking toward the village.
"Huh?"
As he was about to reach the village, he suddenly stopped, looking toward a forest not far away.
He saw a young man in white, entering the forest alone.
The youth appeared to be about twenty years old, thin, with a handsome face, looking like a gentle nobleman.
"Out hunting early in the morning, the people in this village are really diligent."
Qin Feiyang shook his head, smiling.
The young man had no cultivation but there was a scabbard made of animal skin hanging at his waist, with a dagger inside.
Qin Feiyang took a glance at the youth and didn’t pay much attention, continuing to walk toward the village.
"Are you Jian Fei?"
As he reached the village entrance, a few villagers preparing to go out greeted him with smiles and asked.
"I am."
Qin Feiyang nodded, looking curiously at them.
"Thank you for bringing Jie Er back."
"You have no idea, Jie Er’s mother was so worried during the two days he was gone."
"Young brother, if you’re not busy, stay in the village a few more days."
Those villagers said with smiles, simple, kind, giving a natural sense of kindness.
"Okay."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
"Alright then, we’re going out hunting, if we catch good prey, come to my house for drinks tonight."
A rugged-looking man grinned.
"Wang Dabiao, what do you mean by that? Does that mean if there’s no prey, you won’t invite this young brother for a drink?"
A bald man beside him objected.
"That’s not what I meant."
Wang Dabiao quickly waved his hands, appearing simple and honest.
"That’s exactly what you meant."
"Don’t forget, this young brother here is Jie Er’s lifesaver, so regardless of whether there’s good prey today, you must take out those few jars of wine you’ve been hoarding for years to thank him tonight."
The bald man said.
"Right, right, right."
Wang Dabiao nodded repeatedly, then suddenly stared at the bald man and said, "Wait a minute, aren’t you the one who wants to drink my good wine?"
"What are you thinking? I just want to bask in the light of this young brother and join for a few glasses tonight."
The bald man laughed awkwardly.
"Hypocrite."
Wang Dabiao rolled his eyes at him.
The others also looked down on the bald strong man, but they were all smiling.
Wang Dabiao turned to look at Qin Feiyang and said with a smile, "Well, little brother, we’ll be off now, see you tonight."
"Alright."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
At that moment.
The group took various weapons and headed into the deep mountains.
Qin Feiyang shook his head and chuckled.
The people here were not only kind but also very straightforward.
He really liked this place.
No schemes or plots; everything appeared simple and harmonious.
"I really hope that one day I can live like them."
Qin Feiyang murmured to himself, then turned around and entered the village.
"Good morning, Brother Jian Fei!"
"I just went to Jie Er’s house and wondered why I didn’t see you; turns out you were here!"
"Little brother, thank you for saving Jie Er."
"Come by my house if you have time."
Along the way, the villagers greeted Qin Feiyang warmly.
"How does everyone know already?"
Qin Feiyang was a bit helpless, thinking that the news traveled too fast!
And when he returned to the boy’s house and saw the situation in front of the yard, he was even more speechless.
The courtyard was crowded with people, as if they were watching a monkey show.
"Isn’t that Brother Jian Fei?"
"Where did you go last night? Everyone was worried since they didn’t see you!"
Upon seeing Qin Feiyang, people immediately bombarded him with questions.
Too enthusiastic, even Qin Feiyang was a bit overwhelmed.
Someone laughed, "It’s good you’re back. Everyone, make way and don’t block the little brother’s path."
Grinning, the crowd moved aside.
Qin Feiyang nodded to everyone and walked into the courtyard, seeing in the house’s main hall, besides Lu Hong, Luk Zheng, the boy, and the woman, there was also an elderly man.
The elderly man, hunched over with a walking stick and a braid tied on his head, looked quite spirited.
The old man stood up, turned to Qin Feiyang, and asked with a smile, "Are you Brother Jian Fei?"
Qin Feiyang entered the house and nodded, "I am Jian Fei; may I ask who you are, sir?"
"I am the village chief here. Not long ago, I heard you saved Jie Er last night, so I came specially to thank you."
The old man chuckled.
Qin Feiyang laughed and said, "You’re too polite, sir. It was nothing; anyone would have helped."
"You are truly modest, little brother!"
"Actually, I am also partly responsible."
"As the village chief, whether with Jin Er going missing or Jie Er running off alone, I didn’t think of a solution in time, very ashamed!"
The old man sighed.
Qin Feiyang smiled lightly and said, "It’s a big village, and you have too many things to handle, sir. It’s understandable that you’re overwhelmed."
"You have a way with words, little brother, but as long as Jie Er returned safely, that’s all that matters."
The old man croaked with laughter.
"Yes, as long as everyone’s safe, nothing else matters."
Qin Feiyang smiled gently and, without a hint of change in expression, asked, "Sir, is your son here by any chance?"
The old man glanced at the crowd, suspicious, "He was just here a moment ago; where did he suddenly vanish to? That kid is really unruly, I’ll have to give him a good talking to."
Qin Feiyang responded with a faint smile.
The old man then looked at the people outside the door, waving his hand, "You’ve all seen Brother Jian Fei, so scatter now!"
The chief’s words made it impossible for people to stay in the courtyard, so they left in twos and threes.
The old man turned his attention back, pointed to the table with a smile, "Have a seat, little brother."
Qin Feiyang nodded with a smile and sat at the table.
Lu Hong and Luk Zheng also sat down beside him.
Luk Zheng muttered, "Little cousin, where were you fooling around all night?"
"What do you take me for?"
Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at him and whispered, "I was just tired, found a quiet spot and took a nap."
"Really?"
"Why do I find that hard to believe?"
Luk Zheng looked at him skeptically.
"Believe it or not."
Qin Feiyang didn’t bother to argue.
At this moment.
The old man, sitting across from Qin Feiyang, smiled and said, "The three of you might be Jie Er’s benefactors, but for the village’s safety, there are some questions I must ask."
"Please, sir, ask away."
Qin Feiyang replied.
The old man asked, "Where do you three come from?"
Luk Zheng whispered, "This old man suspects we have ulterior motives."
Qin Feiyang sighed inwardly, "It’s not wrong for him to suspect; you did stay in the village with an agenda."
"And you?"
Luk Zheng retorted with disdain.
Qin Feiyang sighed helplessly, looked at the old man, and smiled, "We come from a faraway place, a place you may not have heard of."
"Where?"
The old man asked.
"Imperial City."
Qin Feiyang replied.
"Imperial City?"
The old man was slightly taken aback and asked suspiciously, "What place is that?"
"He truly doesn’t know?"
This time, it was Qin Feiyang’s turn to be stunned.
The Imperial City is the capital of the Great Qin Empire. Not knowing this, are the people of this village really that isolated?
Qin Feiyang thought for a moment, then smiled, "It’s hard to explain all at once, but it’s very far away."
The old man continued, "What brings you here?"
Qin Feiyang smiled lightly, "The three of us are just wanderers, fond of roaming mountain and water."
The old man asked, "Could it be that you three are also Immortals?"
Qin Feiyang glanced at the boy.
The boy stood behind the old man; when Qin Feiyang looked at him, he gently shook his head, indicating he had said nothing.
