After a night of silence, the next morning, Huo Feng, who had not practiced all night, pushed open the door. A ray of morning sunlight fell on Huo Feng's face, illuminating his eyes.
Huo Feng kept his eyes open, and the hint of crimson in his gaze appeared even more eerie under the sunlight.
Huo Feng ignored the ice that was still sound asleep in the room and walked alone onto the street.
Although he had lost his sight, Huo Feng discovered that relying solely on hearing brought a different kind of beauty. He immersed himself aimlessly in this wonderful sensation.
At that moment, Ruo Xi had been quietly following him from a distance, silently watching Huo Feng's back.
As they wandered through the street, each lost in their own thoughts, a magical beast quietly flew out from Huo Family's room and headed towards the outskirts of the city.
In a forest outside the city, two women wearing Veil stood there with vacant expressions, respectfully facing a tree in front of them. Perched on one of its branches was a palm-sized light blue magical beast.
After a long while, the two women respectfully knelt on one knee before the magical beast and then quickly disappeared into the woods. Once they left, the magical beast set off towards Nottingham City.
Inside Nottingham City, Ruo Xi, who was following Huo Feng, suddenly felt a shock in her heart. She hurriedly rushed to Huo Feng's side, grabbed his hand, and leaped several kilometers outside the city before stopping.
At this moment, Huo Feng asked in confusion, "What’s wrong, Ruo Xi? Why did you suddenly bring me out here in such a panic?"
Ruo Xi, somewhat flustered, replied, "Brother Feng, I just sensed my aunt and my brother's presence. They are likely to arrive here by this afternoon at the latest. They are even stronger than I am. I'm worried they might destroy Nottingham City, so let's wait for them to arrive from a distance."
Upon hearing this, Huo Feng furrowed his brow and angrily said, "What kind of reasoning is this? Just because they are powerful does it mean they can disregard human life? Just because they are strong does it give them the right to destroy a city?"
Huo Feng was not stunned by Ruo Xi's words; instead, he was unusually angry. Does having power mean one can casually decide another person's life or death?
Ruo Xi was also troubled at this moment, but she could not tell Huo Feng the truth.
Ruo Xi knew very well that if her aunts suspected her relationship with Brother Feng because of the treatment for Huo Feng's eyes, and in a fit of anger destroyed Huo Feng along with Nottingham City, then Brother Feng would definitely not treat him anymore.
Ruo Xi's face was filled with pain as she said, "Brother Feng, you don't know that in our realm, there are many strong individuals, but the competition is exceptionally fierce. Especially among the Three Major Sects, if one does not reach the Vein Realm by the age of fifteen, they will be eliminated and expelled from the Sect. Even before leaving the Sect, they might be killed by rivals with whom they have past grievances. And I am from one of the Three Major Sects, the Beast Cultivation Sect."
"Moreover, women from the Three Major Sects are all married to disciples within the Sect. Unless someone is an extraordinary existence, outsiders cannot marry women from the Sect. Additionally, when we go out to train and make friends, they cannot be too ordinary; otherwise, the Sect will feel that it brings shame to them, and that friend could face deadly consequences."
Huo Feng was completely stunned. He did not expect that Ruo Xi, a girl, had grown up in such an environment. How cruel and merciless it was!
Then Huo Feng said seriously, "Ruo Xi, you don't like that kind of environment, right? Then don't go back. Let's escape together. I refuse to believe that in such a vast world there isn't a corner where we can hide."
Huo Feng then grabbed Ruo Xi's hand and prepared to flee.
However, Ruo Xi remained motionless. Seeing Huo Feng's actions made her very happy as she said, "You make me reluctant to go back like this."
After a pause, Ruo Xi became serious again and said, "It's useless. Have you forgotten that I carry the unique mark of the Sect? Even if we really can't be found, this realm would suffer devastating attacks."
Huo Feng was taken aback and smiled bitterly as he said, "It seems that without power, it's indeed difficult to move forward. But can you really bring me there and have them treat my eyes?"
"I can still do that. My aunt is the one who cares for me the most in the Sect," Ruo Xi said with a mysterious smile.
Huo Feng also smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll stay here with you to see the strong individuals in your Sect."
However, Huo Feng's heart was not as relaxed as it appeared on the surface. A single Sect could destroy this entire region. It was important to note that this region was home to two great empires, with a population of over several billion, and yet it could be so easily annihilated.
But Huo Feng was not defeated by these thoughts; instead, he felt a surge of passion and a deep longing for Ruo Xi's hometown within him.
While Huo Feng and Ruo Xi were waiting, above the border between the Azure Wave Kingdom and the Azure Wind Kingdom, a beautiful young woman and a tall, masculine man were rapidly approaching them.
The woman showed a look of joy on her face and said eagerly, "Qianxin, let's move faster! I can already sense Ruo Xi's presence very close."
The one called Qianxin immediately replied, "Yes, Aunt."
Suddenly, the two figures accelerated and vanished in an instant with a whoosh.
"Aunt, I thought I would never see you again."
Ruo Xi rushed into the woman's embrace, while the man beside her cast a strange glance at Huo Feng, whose eyes were covered with bandages.
At that moment, the woman hugged Ruo Xi tightly and said, "Xi'er, I missed you so much! Ever since that time, we haven't been able to sense your presence. Everyone has been very worried; your mother has been in tears every day. We never expected to sense your aura again after all this time. Your father asked me to come with your brother to bring you back because he had to handle some matters."
Upon hearing about her parents, Ruo Xi couldn't help but shed tears and asked, "Are Father and Mother doing well?"
"The Sect Leader and Aunt are both fine; they just miss you very much," Qianxin stepped forward to say.
He then pointed at Huo Feng with a frown and asked in a disdainful tone, "Who is this person? What is he doing here?"
Hearing this tone, Huo Feng frowned. Although he couldn't gauge their strength, his temper was clearly about to flare up.
At that moment, Ruo Xi hurried to Huo Feng's side and tugged at his sleeve. Then she turned to the woman and said, "Oh right, I almost forgot to introduce him. This is a friend I met after my great battle. Thanks to him, I didn't die, and he has saved me multiple times."
Hearing this, Qianxin frowned and said disdainfully, "Just him?"
Ruo Xi was trying to hold Huo Feng back, preventing him from rushing forward. However, Qianxin noticed Huo Feng's condition and suddenly unleashed her Origin Force, exerting a powerful aura that forced Huo Feng to kneel on one knee, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Hmph! With such little ability, you should learn not to be reckless. Otherwise, your life is worth less than that of an ant," Qianxin scoffed coldly.
At that moment, Ruo Xi supported Huo Feng and also released her Origin Force to help alleviate his burden, allowing him to feel a bit better.
Ruo Xi was now angry as well; while resisting Qianxin, she shouted, "Qianxin, don't go too far."
The woman then spoke up, "Qianxin, that's enough."
Upon hearing the woman's voice, Qianxin reluctantly withdrew her aura and stood behind the woman.
Only then did Ruo Xi retract her Origin Force and help Huo Feng up, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"
Huo Feng shook his head, but inside he was in turmoil. He had felt quite at home in the Azure Wave Kingdom and had become somewhat arrogant. He never expected to appear so pale and powerless before them—he felt like an ant himself, truly a frog at the bottom of a well.
While Huo Feng was lost in thought, the woman had already taken Ruo Xi aside.
"You like that guy, don't you?" the woman asked.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? How could that be? I'm just grateful he saved me," Ruo Xi replied, her face turning red as she defended herself.
"You know, your aunt has been through this before. Don't think you can deceive my eyes. It's better for you to give up this thought early. You know the rules of our Sect, and I don't want you to be unhappy," the woman said.
"Aunt, I know all of this. I won't harm him; after this, we won't see each other again. So I ask you to heal his eyes. I just want to do this last thing for him," Ruo Xi said with a look of despair.
Hearing this, the woman looked at Ruo Xi with concern. Then she turned to Qianxin and said, "Give that bottle of Exorcism Holy Liquid to her."
Qianxin asked in confusion, "Aunt, why? She's just an insignificant ant."
"Just give it to her when I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions?"
The woman shouted, and Qianxin dared not ask further. He immediately approached Huo Feng. Searching through the Narcissistic Ring, he smiled strangely and then handed a half-full bottle of Exorcism Holy Liquid to Huo Feng.
Huo Feng was extremely eager for power and strength. Suppressing his anger towards Qianxin, he took the Exorcism Holy Liquid and placed it into the Narcissistic Ring.
At that moment, the woman spoke to Qianxin again, "Let's go wait for Ruo Xi up front."
Qianxin was puzzled but didn't dare to ask more questions. He glanced at Huo Feng before following the woman.
At this time, Ruo Xi approached Huo Feng, looking reluctant as she gazed at him. She softly said, "Brother Feng, I'm leaving now. We might never see each other again."
"Remember the medicine; just drop it in your eyes once."
"Brother Feng, will you still remember me years from now? I want to tell you that I like you. I'm afraid if I don't say it now, I won't have another chance."
Ruo Xi poured out a lot of feelings all at once, leaving Huo Feng stunned. She likes me? What would that feel like?
Huo Feng was confused and said, "Don't be like this. It's a happy thing to see your parents at home, and I wish you well. I won't forget you."
After a pause, Huo Feng's voice became firm and filled with determination as he said, "We will definitely meet again. I will step into the world of the strong and become a leader in that world."
Ruo Xi was taken aback, suddenly feeling as if Huo Feng's words would surely come true. She unconditionally believed that Huo Feng could achieve it, and she felt a sense of anticipation.
"Alright, Ruo Xi. We should go now."
At that moment, the woman's voice sounded. Ruo Xi looked reluctantly at Huo Feng and then said, "Brother Feng, goodbye." But in her heart, she was calling out, "Brother Feng, I will be waiting for your arrival at the Beast Cultivation Sect."
At this time, Huo Feng did not say anything but smiled as he watched Ruo Xi and the others leave.
Ruo Xi turned back for a glance, and a single crystal tear fell onto the ground.
Then the three of them instantly disappeared from the spot.
