Not long after they left, the person turned back and said to Huo Feng, "My name is Ling Zhi, my brother's name is Ling, and we are both sixteen this year. I still don't know your name."
Huo Feng glanced at him and replied, "My name is Huo Feng, and I am fifteen this year."
Ling Zhi had already guessed that Huo Feng should be about the same age as him, but he never expected that Huo Feng was actually a year younger. Thinking about Huo Feng's strength, he couldn't help but feel envious. At the same time, he was even more shocked; what kind of talent was this? It was too extraordinary.
The two of them didn't talk much on the way, and soon they arrived at Yan'er's doorstep. At that moment, they saw two people standing at the entrance, looking excitedly at the arriving Huo Feng and Ling Zhi.
Huo Feng immediately recognized one of them; it was Yan'er. The other person was a short and stout middle-aged man who was looking at Huo Feng with a fervent gaze, making Huo Feng feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ling Zhi quickly walked up to them and said, "Yan'er, Uncle Le, I've brought him back. His name is Huo Feng; he's really impressive! I didn't expect him to be only fifteen, a year younger than us."
Upon hearing Ling Zhi mention Huo Feng's age, Yan'er was taken aback. She had guessed that Huo Feng would be at least two or three years older than her. Uncle Le beside her also gasped in surprise, thinking to himself, "This is too extraordinary; he is definitely stronger than the town mayor by several times, and he knows more about medicine than I do."
Of course, Huo Feng had no idea what they were thinking and wasn't inclined to delve into such trivial matters. Seeing their dazed expressions, Huo Feng stepped forward and asked, "Why were you so eager to find me? That method should be able to save your father's life; don't tell me it didn't work."
At this moment, Yan'er came back to her senses. Looking at Huo Feng with a sweet smile, she said, "Your method is incredible! After I gave it to my father as you instructed, Uncle Le checked him and found that his damaged organs are starting to recover slowly. Thank you so much!" She was so excited that she tightly grasped Huo Feng's arms.
Huo Feng winced in pain and said with a pained expression, "Sister, I’m not asking for anything in return. Please don’t hold me like this."
Hearing this, Yan'er immediately released her grip on Huo Feng's arms, her face flushed as she turned away angrily and said, "You... you bastard! Who's holding you? Why do you have such a big mouth? If it weren't for the fact that you've saved us repeatedly, I would have killed you by now! Hmph!"
At this moment, Fat Le, who had been overly excited on the side, walked up to Huo Feng with shining eyes and a fawning smile on his face. He said to Huo Feng, "Hello there, Brother Huo Feng! I am the town's physician; I'm very..."
"Stop," Huo Feng immediately interrupted Fat Le, stepping back and making a gesture for silence. Then, as if he thought of something, he said excitedly, "Do you have a daughter?"
Fat Le was taken aback because he noticed the unfinished medicine ball in Huo Feng's hand. This made him stop looking at Huo Feng with such obsession and instead, with a face full of happiness, he said, "You must have met my dear daughter Lexin. She always carries this kind of medicine ball I made with her to help anyone in need."
Huo Feng glanced at the medicine ball in his hand, then put it in his mouth and started chewing. He then asked, "What do you want me back for?"
At that moment, Yan'er stepped forward and said, "My father wants to see you to thank you in person. Also, Uncle Le wants to consult you about some medical matters."
Huo Feng had only heard of martial arts enthusiasts but had never seen a physician so obsessed. However, Huo Feng was not a medical expert; on the contrary, he knew nothing about medicine.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Huo Feng scratched the back of his head and said, "I don't understand your medical skills at all. I just learned by chance during my training that the Golden-Maned Wolf King's body has this effect." However, Huo Feng would not reveal the existence of the Seven Star Spirit, so he said it this way.
Fat Le was somewhat skeptical of Huo Feng's words. However, considering Huo Feng had saved the mayor and others, he did not dwell on the issue any longer and smiled, saying, "Brother Huo Feng, let's hurry inside to meet the Mayor."
So the four of them entered the mayor's residence one after another. The mayor's residence was not large, and they quickly arrived at the main hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, Yan'er smiled sweetly and rushed toward a middle-aged man with a severed arm, calling out, "Dad, we found Huo Feng!"
"Brother, you're finally back! I was worried that you left alone after being seriously injured," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Huo Feng also smiled slightly and replied, "I wanted to see if that method could really save your life. But now it seems we should focus on you, Mayor. Although you look quite weak, that's due to losing your arm. However, your internal organs seem to be improving significantly and are slowly recovering."
"Hahaha... I really have to thank you for that! By the way, my name is Yu Xian; you can call me Uncle Yu. I still don't know how to address you. Also, I feel like you don't belong to the people around here," Yu Xian said as he looked at his severed arm, his pale face breaking into a hearty smile.
"My name is Huo Feng. I came from a very remote place to seek my fortune. Later, I heard that Thunderstrike City has many strong individuals, but I didn't know the way, and as I wandered, I happened to run into you all," Huo Feng said while considering the words he had prepared to deal with them.
"Brother Huo Feng, you're going to Thunderstrike City? I've only been there three times myself from Maple Town. The people there treat us from these places like highborn nobles. If we upset them, they could easily kill us without anyone caring. However, Brother Huo Feng, you should be able to shake their arrogance quite a bit. You might even make a name for yourself and become a high-ranking member of Thunderstrike Hall," Fat Le suddenly interjected.
At this moment, the mayor took over the conversation: "Brother Huo Feng will definitely..."
"Not good, Mayor! Something big has happened!"
A plain-looking man with mediocre skills rushed in, panting heavily.
Mayor Yu Xian frowned and scolded, "Ahua, you've been with me for so many years. Why are you so thoughtless in your actions and so flustered?"
"Mayor, this time it really isn't just me being flustered; something serious has happened," Ahua replied foolishly.
"Quickly tell us what happened; we are still entertaining distinguished guests here," Yan'er stood up and said.
"You all know about the Cavalry Selection Tournament held by Thunderstrike Hall every year, right? Just now, a Sky Knight came and posted an announcement on the bulletin board outside. It states that this year's Cavalry Selection Tournament will be held earlier than usual and that the number of participants has increased to three times the original amount. Moreover, those at Earth Vein Realm Level Five or above can directly participate in the selection for Sky Knights."
