Great Swordsman
Ch.46 - Shoots Start to Grow

Two days passed so quickly, Xu Feng had a quiet and peaceful day. During this time, Xue Village did not experience any major events, everything was going as usual except for the fact that the merchants started to arrive in search of profits.

The items brought by the cultivators of the Thousand Night Forest were increasingly varied over time as more and more cultivators also started to venture into the Thousand Night Forest. Many of them are rare and expensive commodities.

The merchants began to smell the smell of profits and the rise of Xue Village again, they would not allow themselves to miss this delicious cake.

Within two days, Shao Jun had already recovered from his injury. As a person in the Third Stage, his recovery rate was faster than ordinary humans in general.

“I'm counting on you two. Remember that! In three days, the final result depends on you.”

Xu Feng gave a reminder with a serious face in front of Shao Kun and Shao Jun who were kneeling, they were currently in a small, narrow room.

“Hamba understands.”

Shao Kun nodded in understanding, he was the most level-headed among them so Xu Feng appointed him in charge.

“Shao Jun, listen and follow what Shao Kun ordered.”

Xu Feng turned to look at Shao Jun, he put out a little pressure to commemorate this rash person, he did not want his nature to destroy what he had planned.

“Hamba understands sir!” Shao Jun looked down respectfully and was a little nervous, he still remembered freshly what it was like to be hit that night.

He had no more thoughts of rebelling against Xu Feng because aside from the reason earlier, Shao Kun had also already spoken to him about the advantages they would gain in the future if he followed Xu Feng.

His heart now only left a high level of respect and admiration.

“Good, now go!” Xu Feng waved and the two immediately bowed before leaping out through the window, the robes covering their bodies and faces fluttering in the wind.

“I'll return this soon, just wait for you guys.” Xu Feng's eyes emitted a sharp glint, he was already planning to finish off the three Patriarchs of the village once and for all.

The task he gave the two brothers was simple, namely to kill Patriarch Guo and Patriarch Song. He did not forget to order to pick up the loot if circumstances allowed, Xu Feng emphasized to focus on the Spiritual Stone rather than the others.

Guo Village and Song Village were large villages, they should have some Spiritual Stones.

As for Tan Village, Xu Feng would intervene by himself. Tan Village was only a day's drive away from Xue Village and Xu Feng felt he needed to move his bones occasionally in order not to be dull.

It was not long before Xu Feng changed his clothes in simple all-black clothes before equipping him with a hooded white robe.

As he walked out of the room, he met Ding Xiang who was waiting for him at the door, in his hand was a large silver round hat, the model was the same as thatched hats that people often wore.

Xu Feng had already told him personally that he would travel for a few days. Of course, he did not explain the reason for his departure.

“Use this.” Ding Xiang gave a hat and spoke softly, but his facial expression showed a hint of unwillingness.

“I don't need a cap.” Xu Feng shook his head in confusion.

Ding Xiang pouted slightly, it would be an annoying thing if many women chased after Xu Feng because seeing his face, he continued to force until Xu Feng could only obey him helplessly.

“Hahaha.” Xu Feng laughed wryly while wearing the hat, he really did not understand what Ding Xiang's actions meant.

After saying goodbye and about to leave, Xu Feng felt a slight tug on his robe. Turning around, he saw Ding Xiang's slender hands tugging at his robe like a child, his head bowed.

“You..” Xu Feng increasingly did not understand but the girl only muttered one word quietly, carefully.

Xu Feng was silent for a while before sighing and patting Ding Xiang's head gently. He is indeed a man who has never been in contact with women but that does not mean he is a stiff man.

Without Xu Feng noticing, the girl's actions had filled the void in her heart. Xu Feng was a man who did not come from this world, no matter how many people he had known all along, his soul was still from Earth, no matter how many people he had known, this world is not his home and he is far from home.

Such a sense of alienation was a level of loneliness that no one could imagine, Xu Feng had all along only hidden it well deep down.

But no matter how well he hid, that most basic thing would never go away.

The fact that this world is not home and that he should not be here.

Behind his toughness and firmness, his back was so lonely. The current Xu Feng was like a child who was lost in the middle of nowhere with no way home. Confused, afraid, worried, anxious, homesick, there were too many turbulent emotions in his heart.

He needs a figure to maintain the calmness of his heart, a figure that can give him warmth and peace like when in the arms of a mother.

“I'll be fine.” Xu Feng replied slowly, his eyes softened without him noticing when he looked at the girl.

“Mhmm.”

Ding Xiang nodded weakly as he watched Xu Feng's figure slowly leave. She was a pure and gentle girl, she was aware of the same taste as she felt from Xu Feng, it was loneliness without a home.

As a woman, her ability in understanding the feelings of others was naturally much higher than that of a man, it was precisely for this reason that she felt close to Xu Feng ever since they first met. In fact, Ding Xiang vaguely felt that his soul seemed to be so close and connected to Xu Feng.

Something like fate and soulmate is true, many people sometimes ignore the simple thing.

No matter how bad or how tragic a person's condition was, if he met his soulmate, he would be loved unconditionally. Life is strange and mysterious but at the same time beautiful and colorful.

“Hahh.”

Xu Feng exhaled, he looked up at the blue sky in silence, his expression complicated and indistinct. He then shook his head and refocused on his goal, there was something he needed to finish before returning.

In his footsteps, Xu Feng did not realize that his body was more relaxed and lighter than usual, he was not even aware of the small changes that were happening deep in his heart.

Something he had been trying to keep and hide.
