"Feng'er, are you ready?" A peaceful voice came from outside.

At that moment, Chu Feng opened his eyes and revealed a light of confidence. He looked outside the door and replied, "Mn, I'm ready." After saying that, he straightened his clothes and walked out.

At that moment, he was wearing a white robe. His black hair was lifted up by his shoulders wherever the wind blew, and his white robe was lifted up. It gave people an indescribable feeling of elegance and freedom.

The door opened. Seeing his grandmother's benevolent smile, Chu Feng smiled and then followed her into the courtyard.

Even though Chu Feng's grandmother was very kind right now, if anyone said anything bad about Chu Feng, she would turn hostile!

In Chu Feng's mind, he still vaguely remembered that not long ago, there was a girl who said that Chu Feng was a motherless child. In Chu Feng's mind, he still vaguely remembered that not long ago, there was a girl who said that Chu Feng was a motherless child.

However, in the end, that girl's life was saved.

From this, it could be seen that the old lady was not a good person.

Only after that incident did the servants of the mansion realize that the one who was the most ferocious in the mansion was not the old master, but the seemingly amiable old mistress.

People could still remember that the madame tortured the little girl to death. The worst part was that the little girl's family was also affected. Anyone who dared to speak out against it was chased out of the General's Estate.

In the end, Chu Feng really could not continue watching. He pleaded for the girl before letting her escape with her life.

From then on, the servants did not dare to say that Chu Feng was wrong anymore because that person in the residence ? The reason why Old Lady Chu was so angry was because Chu Feng was currently her everything. Her long-lost grandson had finally returned with great difficulty. How could she allow her grandson to suffer any more injuries!? It was this sort of doting that caused Chu Feng, who originally had no sense of belonging, to gradually merge into his family.

From then on, Chu Feng was no longer lost in the deep night. He was no longer sad in the deep night.

This was because this family gave him warmth and care that he never had before.

"Feng'er, we'll be leaving soon. Do you have anything else you didn't bring?" The madame who was walking in front asked worriedly.

Chu Feng, who was deep in thought, did not hear what his grandmother said nor did he answer her.

The old lady did not hear Chu Feng's reply. She turned her head and saw Zi Feng's contemplative expression. She said with a smile, "Even if you forget to bring something, you can still buy it in the capital."

But Chu Feng still did not have any reactions. That made the old lady puzzled and after a while, the old lady tensed up. She thought that Chu Feng was sick and she hurriedly went up to touch Chu Feng's forehead.

Chu Feng, who was woken up by his granny, looked at her strange appearance with some suspicion. However, he did not ask anything and only opened his mouth to ask, "Gran, how old is the capital?!"

Only after hearing Chu Feng's question did the old lady relax. She let out a long sigh and said, "The capital is very big, several times bigger than the Martial Imperial City."

The old lady smilingly rubbed Chu Feng's head and thought in her heart, "So it turns out that just now, he was thinking about that capital. He was really worried for nothing."

This old woman was really afraid of falling to the ground while holding it in her hand. She was really too scared of melting into ashes when she put it in her mouth.

Chu Feng thought to himself, "When we arrive at the capital, I must find out more about the cultivators and ask him about his cultivation." He had been practicing inner strength for more than half a year. Recently, he felt that it was a bit strange, as he felt that besides using his consciousness to control the inner strength, there were also things he needed to cultivate.

Since he didn't have a master, Chu Feng could only grope around on his own.

He kept recalling what his father had told him back then, but Chu Mingfan hadn't taught him many things back then. He had only taught him the basics.

In the period of half a year, Chu Feng kept on cultivating. The force in his body became abnormally abundant, and there was even a trace of force in every single meridian.

But now, he was at a loss because he discovered that his muscles and veins were all saturated and couldn't store any more energy. However, he didn't know what to do next.

All sorts of doubts had been plaguing him, but he did not believe that his meridians were filled with energy, and that this would be the end of his life.

Because, even if his veins were filled with force, it would still be impossible for him to cut down mountains and horizontally cut down rivers. So, Chu Feng was currently very confused.

He was going to the capital. Perhaps this was an opportunity, and Chu Feng hoped that he could gain something from the capital.

When they walked out of the Chu Residence, the carriage was already prepared.

Chu Feng, with a glimmering look of longing, looked at the scene before him. Then, he followed his grandmother and entered the carriage.

A moment later, his grandfather Chu Xiaotian slowly got on the carriage.

As soon as everything was ready, they set off.

His grandfather, Chu Xiaotian, who was sitting on the carriage had a serene look on his face, but he sighed with emotion, "It's been more than ten years since I returned. I don't know how those old fellows are doing."

As he sighed, scenes of the past began to surface in his mind. The bitterness, pain, and happiness all surged into the old man's heart.

Chu Feng looked at his grandfather who had a serene expression, but his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life. He was silent.

At this time, Wen Bixia, who was on the side, saw the doubt in Chu Feng's eyes and explained, "More than ten years ago, your father suddenly ran away from home. Your grandfather couldn't bear such a blow and returned home."

Hearing this, the calm face of Chu Xiaotian's grandfather turned slightly red.

Chu Feng replied with an "Oh." Then, he no longer said anything.

As a considerate person, he could see from his grandfather's aged and deep eyes how much he loved the capital and how reluctant he was to part with it.

So, Chu Feng didn't want to mention anything and make his grandfather unhappy.

This time around, because of Chu Feng's return, grandfather and grandmother decided to personally go to the capital to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor.

It was because they wanted Chu Feng to see the world.

In the past year, Chu Feng always locked himself in his room. Other than eating, he didn't come out. That situation made the two old men very uneasy.

Chu Feng was deep in thought on the carriage, while his grandparents were resting with their eyes closed. Everything was so peaceful and smooth.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

This caused the people on the horse carriage to wake up.

Chu Feng who still had a pure heart curiously opened the curtains of the carriage and looked outside.

"Stop, don't run." A sharp voice came from the crowd.

Looking around, all he saw was a skinny monkey with slightly curved back and a pale complexion. It was chasing after a young girl who was only eleven or twelve years old.

A panicked expression appeared on the face of the village girl as she hurriedly passed through the carriage and ran backwards, out of breath.

Seeing this scene, Chu Feng's fragile heart was stung.

The memory that had been sealed had been resurrected here.

The wandering life, the unbearable past, made the originally elated Chu Feng become dejected.

As he was feeling dejected, Chu Feng retracted his neck and did not say anything. He only took out a sweet biscuit from the grey-coloured bag next to him and started to eat.

Seeing Chu Feng's strange action, the two old men looked at each other with some suspicion, as if asking something.

After eating the sweet biscuit, Chu Feng deeply breathed in and he couldn't help revealing a satisfied expression. He looked at his grandfather and grandmother with a bit of hesitation, but he still walked down the carriage by himself.

At this moment, there were a few people standing behind the carriage, as if they were watching a show.

Chu Feng's feet kept on going back and forth. Not long after, he arrived at the outskirts of the crowd and his little body kept on going back and forth within the crowd. Chu Feng, who had squeezed in, let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, the madame who had just got off the car, Wen Bixia, could not see her grandson's shadow. She could not help but feel uneasy.

He looked around and found a group of people surrounding the carriage.

There were many guards of the residence outside. The madame seemed to have thought of something and walked towards the crowd.

At this moment, she was full of doubts, "What's wrong with Feng'er today? He is usually very obedient, and likes to join in the liveliness today."

Although there was doubt on her face, the corners of her mouth curved up into a smile.

When the guards saw the old master and the madame walking over, they couldn't help but push their way through the crowd.

At this moment, the spectators discovered that there were quite a few guards. There were quite a few people who had spread out to observe from a distance.

At this moment, the skinny, pale-faced monkey held onto the girl's small hand and angrily shouted, "I'm telling you to run. Next time, run again. I'll break your legs."

As she spoke, her left hand was about to slap her cheek. However, her small eyes rolled back as she retracted her left hand and said, "I spent 30 taels of silver to buy you. It's not good to break it." After saying that, he touched the girl's face flirtatiously.

When the surrounding women saw the indecent look on the skinny monkey's face, they were filled with disgust. They did not expect that this would be another tragedy for the 'child bride'.

Just as his hand was going to touch the girl's slightly rosy cheeks, Chu Feng, who was on the side, stepped forward and kicked the skinny monkey's abdomen.

By the time the skinny monkey reacted, he had already been hit.

Skinny Monkey turned around and saw a teenage boy standing behind him. His face darkened as he said with an insidious smile, "Brat, were you the one who kicked me just now?"

Chu Feng looked at him. His pair of eyes were blinking. He looked very clear and one would not expect at all that he was the one who had stabbed him in the back.

However, when one looked carefully at the position Chu Feng was standing in, with both of his hands behind his back, they would see that he was slightly tilting his head.

Seeing the arrogant attitude of the little boy in front of him, the skinny monkey got a little angry. He couldn't help but let go of the girl's hand and raise his right hand, preparing to pull it towards the little boy in front of him.

However, a middle-aged man next to Chu Feng kicked at him. That made the skinny monkey a bit shocked as he never would have thought that the child had helpers.

After being kicked, the skinny monkey lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The moment he fell to the ground, the soldiers who had followed him saw that their leader had made a move, and one by one, they rushed forward and tied up the skinny monkey that had fallen to the ground.

Chu Feng stuck out his chest and walked towards the terrified girl one step at a time.

The girl who was standing on the street looked at Chu Feng who was walking towards her with a bit of disapproval.

Her feet couldn't help shrinking back and she looked at Chu Feng with a gaze of fear.

With a light smile on his face, Chu Feng walked over to the girl and silently looked at her without saying anything.

The two old men looked at Chu Feng in confusion. No matter what, they could not understand why the dignified young master of the Chu residence was looking at a female slave like that.

Chu Feng extended his slender hand, held the girl's hand, and said, "Follow me!"

That voice sounded like it came from heaven to the girl, and it gave her a warm and familiar feeling. At the end, she couldn't help but follow Chu Feng's footsteps and walk out of the crowd.

Everyone looked at the two of them in amazement. How could these two be walking hand in hand with one of them, a well-dressed and dignified man, the other a simple and unadorned man?

In a world full of class ideas, it was hard to figure out what was going on, just as strange as a mouse falling in love with a cat.

The girl was inexplicably pulled by Chu Feng as she walked forward.

He felt a bit strange in his heart, and when he thought about how the males and females in the mortal world could not understand what was happening, he hurriedly got rid of Chu Feng's hand and took two steps back. With a slightly flushed face, he looked at the little boy who was around his age.

Chu Feng felt that the girl got rid of his hand. He turned his head around, smiled, and said, "Let's go!" As he spoke, he walked forward.

As for the girl, she was still standing where she was and she did not move while silently looking at Chu Feng's back that was getting further and further away.

Suddenly, like a madman, the girl ran towards the direction that Chu Feng left in.

People looked strangely at the two interesting children.

However, at this moment, Skinny Monkey, who was being suppressed by the soldiers, was baffled.

From his point of view, it was only natural that he should chase after his female slave. However, he didn't expect that there would be a little brat stuck in the middle of it. Furthermore, this brat was quite awesome. As soon as he came up, he gave him a kick and ? The more Skinny Monkey thought about it, the more he felt wronged. What was wrong with him? Why was he so unlucky!?

When he was young, he had peeked at the girl next door after she had a bath. He had grown up, but he had only gone to the brothels a few times ? The more Skinny Monkey thought about it, the more heart-piercing he became. Just what kind of crime did he commit? How did he get captured by the soldiers?

Not long ago, he had spent many years of his savings to buy this little girl at the Return of Spring Pavilion. He planned to marry her in a few years and have a happy and blissful life, but all of this had disappeared in the blink of an eye ? He couldn't help but shout in his heart, "Heavens! Are you still letting me live? How can you play with people like this!"

People were passing by on the streets of the capital. After a while, people had already forgotten about the incident just now and started to busy themselves again.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the vermillion gate of a tall courtyard.

Just as Chu Feng jumped out of the carriage, the girl closely followed Chu Feng out.

She was scared now, scared.

Life had become a nightmare for her ever since she was seven and had been kidnapped and sold.

First, she was targeted by a group of robbers, and after several failed robberies, the organization abandoned her and she began to wander.

Not long ago, the trafficker had lured her into a brothel after seeing how she looked.

Then he was bought home by that obscene man.

The man often did indecent things, which kept her on the verge of collapse, and made her want to run away.

Right now, the boy looked like he could be trusted. After all, he had saved her just now. Otherwise, the skinny monkey would have brought her home and she would have shed a layer of skin ? Right now, she was really afraid that the boy would abandon her and ignore her. So, she always followed behind Chu Feng, and right now, the boy was her everything.

The two old men looked at their grandson, Chu Feng, who they abnormally loved, with amazement. Why did he treat the little girl who looked dirty so well?

Although he felt it was strange, he didn't ask any further questions.

They thought that as long as their grandchild liked it, why would they care so much? Isn't it just an additional mouth at home? Is there even a need to be bothered by such a trivial matter? Thus, he left Chu Feng to his own devices.

After Chu Feng got off the car, he thought to himself, "We've actually met." It had been six years since they parted.

He hadn't thought that the cute girl from back then would be reduced to such a state.

Since you gave them to me in the past, let me take care of you now!

Chu Feng, who was walking, hiddenly made the decision to take care of the girl in his heart.
