Ye Fei had thought it was something significant, to have Li Qingqing appear so serious.
It turned out to be such a minor matter.
"Senior Sister, I thought it was something important. I agree."
"I'll give you a Yang Shen Pill right away."
"Here!"
Ye Fei generously gifted Li Qingqing a top-grade Yang Shen Pill, worth a thousand gold.
Li Qingqing hadn't expected Ye Fei to agree so readily.
And without asking for any reward.
"However, I do have one condition."
Her tone shifted, and Li Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
"You speak."
Seeing her nervous expression, Ye Fei lost the urge to tease her.
He coughed a few times and then said directly.
"My only condition is that I hope you can make me another meal like this next time."
"So, can you agree?"
Ye Fei asked with a smile.
Li Qingqing had already prepared herself for Ye Fei to make an outrageous demand, even preparing to sacrifice herself. She never expected Ye Fei to propose such a light condition.
She couldn't help but look astonished.
At the same time, her heart warmed.
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister, do you agree?"
Ye Fei asked again.
Hearing Ye Fei speak again, Li Qingqing finally came back to her senses and quickly replied.
"Of course, I'm willing."
"Let alone one meal, I'd be happy to make ten."
Ye Fei was very satisfied with her answer and ended the topic with a smile.
Next, Ye Fei needed to take the pill and recover from his injuries.
"Ye Fei, I won't disturb you any longer."
"I'll leave now."
Li Qingqing, with her keen observation, left the room.
She also closed the door.
Ye Fei quickly swallowed the top-grade Recovery Pill.
Then he began to circulate his cultivation technique, refining the medicinal power within his body.
As time passed, Ye Fei's injuries gradually healed with the dispersion of the medicinal power, returning to their original state.
His slightly pale complexion also became rosy.
Even his body felt lighter.
Ye Fei keenly sensed that he was about to break through again.
He then guided his primal energy and remaining Yuan Li as a boost, continuously striking the bottleneck within his body.
After several attempts, the bottleneck in his body shattered once more.
At this moment, Ye Fei's cultivation also began to climb.
He directly broke through from the middle stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining to the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining.
"Haha, this trip was truly worth it!"
"One hundred contribution points obtained, plus a treasured pill furnace!"
Thinking of this, Ye Fei quickly took out the alchemy furnace he had obtained from the ancient ruins from his Qiankun Bag.
The alchemy furnace was entirely black, adorned with mysterious carvings. On the front, in the center, were inscribed the words "Qiankun Furnace".
"Qiankun Furnace?"
"What a fitting name!"
Ye Fei touched it with great fondness before re-stowing the furnace into the Qiankun Bag.
Now that his injuries had healed, he had no reason to stay here any longer.
So, after explaining the situation, Ye Fei left the room and headed towards his own courtyard.
As for Li Qingqing, as soon as Ye Fei left, she packed her belongings and planned to go home.
She couldn't wait to let her father take the top-grade Yang Shen Pill.
Meanwhile, Ye Fei hadn't even entered his courtyard when he encountered Shangguan Xueer at the entrance, flustered and panicked.
"Ye Fei, what do we do, what do we do!"
"It's bad! My father just messaged me saying that the escort team our Shangguan family sent out has lost contact!"
"Yu'er and my younger brother are both in this team, and now they've also lost contact."
After hearing this, Ye Fei realized the situation was quite critical and immediately soothed her.
"Don't rush, tell me slowly!"
"We'll ask for leave and go back."
Ye Fei decided decisively.
"Yes, you're right, I'll ask for leave to go back!"
Shangguan Xueer was too worried and had lost her composure.
Only when Ye Fei reminded her did she quickly regain her senses.
The two agreed to meet at the plaza in half an hour.
Therefore, Ye Fei also seized the time, made all necessary preparations, and rushed to the plaza.
Not long after, Shangguan Xueer also arrived.
"Let's go, depart!"
Ye Fei said.
The two then immediately used the teleportation array to head towards the Shangguan family.
At this moment, the Shangguan family was anxiously awaiting news.
When Ye Fei and the others rushed back, everyone else had already returned home.
"Father, what exactly happened?"
"Why did they suddenly lose contact?"
Shangguan Xueer asked urgently.
"Alas, I suspect the news leaked this time!"
"I have a suspect!"
"According to the information I just received, I suspect the Qin family did it again!"
"This is truly hateful!"
Shangguan Xueer's father said with great indignation.
"Grandfather, what's done is done, and talking more is useless. The most important thing for us now is to send people to the place where they lost contact as soon as possible."
"Contacting them quickly is the right way."
Shangguan Xueer said judiciously.
"Xue'er is right, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must not give up!"
Old Master Shangguan, as one who had weathered many storms, immediately began to arrange for rescue personnel.
Old Master Shangguan pondered for a moment, then cast his gaze back to Ye Fei and said.
"Xiao Fei, our Shangguan family is facing an unprecedented crisis. I shouldn't have involved you, but I truly have no other choice."
"So, I implore you to lead the team to rescue them this time."
"Of course, I know my request is a bit abrupt, but I'm willing to put my old face on the line, and I hope you can agree!"
Old Master Shangguan pleaded.
Recalling the prophecy from before, he was once again convinced that Ye Fei was the one to break the deadlock!
"Alright, I agree!"
"It's my duty!"
Ye Fei immediately agreed.
"Xiao Fei, whether we can bring them back safely or not, I am immensely grateful!"
Old Master Shangguan said emotionally.
"Don't worry, they are blessed with great fortune and won't die so easily."
"You just wait at home for my triumphant return with them!"
Ye Fei had a strong intuition that they would overcome this danger.
Although Shangguan Xueer wanted to set off with Ye Fei, Ye Fei persuaded her against it, so Ye Fei took the lead and disappeared into the distance.
As for Shangguan Xueer, she followed the main group from behind.
After breaking through again, Ye Fei released his divine sense, constantly searching the surroundings.
Ye Fei clutched a sound transmission jade pendant in his hand, allowing him to communicate with Shangguan Xueer and the others in time.
As dusk settled, everyone ignored rest and continued to speed forward.
