Life was barely manageable.
There was actually something more that hadn’t been said. Ever since his body had grown rapidly, his appetite had increased significantly, and the family’s income could no longer support him. Thus, he began to wander.
Zhao Yun nodded and then asked, “If you follow Immortal Sir, won’t that mean you can’t take care of your mother?”
Dian Wei scratched his head, momentarily unsure how to respond.
“I have a solution that serves two purposes: you can follow Immortal Sir and still look after your mother,” Zhao Yun continued.
Dian Wei’s eyes lit up. “What do you suggest?”
Zhao Yun explained, “Since there are only your mother and no land at home, why not bring the two elders over? This way, you can follow Immortal Sir while also being able to care for your mother regularly.”
Dian Wei was taken aback. “What? Wouldn’t that trouble you all?”
Zhao Yun waved his hand with a smile. “Not at all! It’s just a matter of sharing meals. This way, you can feel at ease following Immortal Sir.”
Dian Wei felt a bit awkward and turned to Yun Xiao Yi for advice.
Yun Xiao Yi nodded in agreement. “I think Zhao Yun’s idea is good, but the plan could be improved. There’s no need to bring the elders over just for treatment; it would waste time going back and forth. Here’s what we can do: Dian Wei, find a container and take some milk from me back home for your family to drink. After they’ve consumed it and recovered from their ailments, you can bring them over.”
Dian Wei felt puzzled. How could ordinary milk treat his mother’s illness?
Zhao Yun preemptively clarified Yun Xiao Yi’s meaning: “The ordinary milk is not what we’re talking about; what Immortal Sir referred to is the Divine Milk he has enchanted. It has the power to bring the dead back to life and restore flesh. Even if someone is missing limbs, just two cups will restore them completely.”
As he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in astonishment, everyone expressing their amazement.
No one questioned what Zhao Yun said, for in front of them stood a genuine immortal! With the ability to summon Lei Huo, conceal items in his sleeves, and draw from an endless water source, why would he need to resort to tricks with a simple jug of milk to heal a patient?
Dian Wei then pulled out a Leather Water Bag from his bosom. "Immortal Sir, will this work?"
"Yes," came the reply.
Yun Xiao Yi took the Water Bag and retrieved a Milk Barrel from his backpack. He opened the lid and poured the milk into the bag. The Water Bag had a considerable capacity, able to hold over two liters.
Once the two liters of milk were consumed, even if his mother was on the brink of death, there were still some swift Fast Horses in their clan that could be used by Brother Dian Wei. With the aid of these Fast Horses, he would be able to return home more quickly to care for his mother.
Dian Wei wore a helpless smile. "Kind-hearted friend, I truly appreciate your intentions, but I cannot ride a horse."
Everyone except Yun Xiao Yi exchanged incredulous glances. "You can't ride a horse? Wait, with your martial arts skills, how is that possible?"
Dian Wei once again offered the Leather Water Bag to Yun Xiao Yi. "Immortal Sir, will this work?"
"Yes," came the affirmation again.
After receiving it, Yun Xiao Yi opened his backpack and took out the Milk Barrel. He lifted the lid and slowly poured the milk into the Water Bag. The bag had an astonishing capacity and could easily accommodate two liters of liquid.
As two liters of milk filled it up, even in a state of near death, he assuredly stated, "We still have several fine steeds in our clan that can be provided for Brother Dian Wei. With these noble horses' assistance, he will be able to rush back home swiftly to care for his Compassionate Mother."
A rather awkward smile blossomed on Dian Wei's face.
"I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm, but I don't know how to ride a horse."
In that moment, everyone present, except for Yun Xiao Yi, stared at Dian Wei with incredulous expressions, unable to comprehend why a skilled warrior would be unfamiliar with horsemanship.
"Isn't it true that you possess exceptional martial skills? How could you not know how to ride?"
This scene was truly unprecedented. However, for Yun Xiao Yi, it was nothing out of the ordinary.
In the legends and historical accounts, there had been mentions of Dian Wei's prowess in mounted combat. If he excelled in cavalry warfare, how could he possibly abandon the swift gallop of a horse in favor of foot combat? Moreover, at this moment, Dian Wei had just turned thirty and was born in a rural area.
It was entirely reasonable that he had never ridden a horse, given that he had not had the opportunity or resources for proper training.
At this point, Zhu Ji seized the opportunity to speak: "My lord, we have a carriage at home."
"Although my young brother Dian Wei may not understand riding, traveling back by carriage would be much faster. If my brother Dian Wei does not know how to drive, my young son Chu Yan can take the reins."
This was indeed considerate of him. Dian Wei felt deeply moved.
However, he wasn't foolish; he understood that the reason these people treated him this way was entirely due to Immortal Sir. Thus, he believed that clinging tightly to Immortal Sir's support was his best path forward.
With this thought in mind, Dian Wei stepped forward a few paces, moving closer to where Yun Xiao Yi stood.
"Your great virtue and kindness need not be spoken of; it is simply your words about..."
At this moment, Zhu Ji was taken aback and silently walked over to where Chu Yan lay on the ground, crouching down and shaking him gently.
