for Advance Chapter
She smiled a rare and touching smile and said, "No matter what, it was thanks to my little brother's help that I was able to kill those two giant wolves."
"By the way, what's your name, little brother?"
Before parting, Xia Qingyun had carefully taught Xia Feng some common sense about dealing with people, so he knew that the beautiful elder sister in front of him meant to ask his name.
The master hadn't asked him to hide his name, so Xia Feng answered directly, "My name is Xia Feng, Xia for summer, Feng for wind and clouds."
"Xia Feng..." Gu Wanqing thought for a moment, not having any impression of this unfamiliar name, and then smiled and said, "By the way, my last name is Gu, and my full name is Gu Wanqing."
"Then should I call you Sister Gu or Sister Wanqing?"
Xia Feng asked politely and seriously.
Gu Wanqing was slightly stunned, then smiled.
"It's all right. Since you call me Sister Gu, I won't be shy and call you Brother Feng."
The female guard named Ziqing standing next to the two of them was surprised to see that the eldest lady had called a strange boy sister and brother in just a few moments, and her pretty face was full of surprise.
As Miss Gu's personal bodyguard, she knew very well that what the young lady hated most were those slick young men.
The eldest daughter has been beautiful since she was young, but she is notoriously aggressive. There are countless young masters in Guangnan City who covet her beauty. Just because they dared to tease their eldest daughter with words, they were severely punished and dared to avoid her when they saw her.
Ziqing found it a little bit unbelievable that her eldest daughter would become so intimate with a strange boy whom she had only met once in a short time.
She took a quick, quiet look at the young man before a sudden realization dawned on her. Though his attire was simple and unadorned, a closer look revealed his clothes to be spotless. His features were strikingly handsome, especially his tall, long legs, and slender, upright figure. Most captivating of all were his starry eyes, a look that was both dazed and clear, yet pure and unwavering. A single glance at him was enough to make her trust him.
After staring at the boy for a long time, Ziqing felt that he liked her more and more, and her cheeks were getting hot.
No wonder even the young lady, who had always been indifferent to men, treated this commoner differently. Although the young man was humble, he had indeed saved the young lady at a critical moment. It was also thanks to his warning and driving away the wolves that the young lady was able to kill both leader wolves.
"By the way, Brother Feng, why are you here?" Gu Wanqing asked.
The reason for asking is that Gu Wanqing and her group took a huge risk by entering this area.
The Longwen Gorge area has long been a sparsely visited place. Outsiders claim it's eerie and dangerous. Many have even ventured there to explore, but most never return. Even those who do return often find themselves in a trance, uttering delirious words. This only adds to the mystery surrounding Longwen Gorge. As word spreads, it's become a dangerous place forbidden to ordinary people.
If it wasn't necessary to find a life-saving herb, Gu Wanqing would never have been willing to set foot here with a large group of guards from her family.
They were extremely cautious and careful when they entered, and after careful exploration, they found the herbs they needed.
Perhaps because the process was relatively smooth, despite Gu Wanqing's repeated instructions on the way back to stay alert and aware of danger, some members of the team still took it lightly, and mistakes occurred. A guard cut his hand on a sharp thorn. Instead of taking prompt action, he allowed the blood to drip and failed to clean it up, ultimately attracting a pack of wolves.
So, the previous scene happened.
Since Gu Wanqing asked, Xia Feng did not hide anything and told her everything, including that he and his master had been living in Longwen Gorge, and even that he was leaving the mountains this time to trace his roots.
Gu Wanqing secretly admired the boy's sincerity, but she also reminded Xia Feng, like an older sister, that people are treacherous and that he should be more careful and not tell these things to everyone.
Gu Wanqing was deeply moved by Xia Feng's words "I believe in my sister".
After the two chatted for a while, Gu Wanqing asked, "So, where do you plan to go to find clues about your life experience, Brother Feng?"
"Sister Gu, I'm actually not too sure either. I just want to ask wherever I go." Xia Feng scratched his head awkwardly and replied.
Gu Wanqing couldn't help but be stunned, and her heart ached for no reason. She felt a little pity for this simple and pure boy.
After thinking for a moment with her eyebrows furrowed, Gu Wanqing suggested, "Brother Feng, if that's the case, why don't you go to Guangnan City with me? Guangnan City is a big city, and it's not too far from here. Since you don't have a clear goal, there's no need to go far away. What do you think?"
Xia Feng was very moved after hearing this and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Sister, you are right! I am so happy to be able to travel with Sister Gu all the way."
Xia Feng's knowledge of the outside world was limited to the general information his master had shared with him the night before they left. Traveling with Gu Wanqing allowed him to learn more about the world through this new sister, so he wouldn't be completely lost in the big city.
At the same time, deep down in Xia Feng's heart, he was actually reluctant to part with this beautiful, valiant and graceful sister in front of him so soon.
Gu Wanqing smiled happily.
Then she introduced Xia Feng to the group.
"Thank you for helping us just now, little brother."
The Gu family guards, who had just been frightened by the wild wolves, all thanked Xia Feng.
There were exceptions, however. A middle-aged man, about forty years old and with a scar on the left side of his face, frowned and whispered to Gu Wanqing, "Miss, although this young man has just offered his help, his origins are unknown. It might be inappropriate to bring him along like this."
Gu Wanqing glanced at the middle-aged man and said unhappily, "If it weren't for Brother Feng, our team would have suffered heavy casualties, and even I would not have been spared."
"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, Chen Kang. I don't want to hear such inhumane words again."
Her words were clear and straightforward, that is, Xia Feng was not some person of unknown origin, but her savior.
The middle-aged man Chen Kang with a scar looked a little ugly when he heard Gu Wanqing's blunt rebuke and her calling Xia Feng "brother", but he didn't dare to say anything more.
This is just a small episode.
