In the car, Ling Feng did not speak, and Yang Fei naturally did not dare to speak casually.
"Your Excellency, where are we going?" Zhou Hao asked nervously, still unaware of what he had done wrong.
Ling Feng maintained a posture of closing his eyes and resting, completely ignoring Zhou Hao.
Seeing this, Yang Fei quickly said, "To the Hua family!"
"The Hua family? General Yang, is it the Hua family of the divine physician Hua Putai?"
Zhou Hao asked again, feeling a bit surprised. Had Ling Feng contracted some stubborn illness, prompting him to travel thousands of miles to find the divine physician Hua?
Hua Putai, as the most renowned divine physician in Nanyun, had a family that was a prominent local clan, and their doors were not easily entered by just anyone!
Those who visited were either rich or noble, but very few could have Hua Putai personally attend to them!
Even Hua Putai's disciples rarely came out to treat patients! The temperaments of divine physician families were often a bit peculiar.
Moreover, the Hua family had been rooted in Nanyun for too long, with connections reaching to the heavens.
Therefore, basically, no one dared to offend the Hua family. Hua Putai was even known as the divine physician with "Bodhisattva hands and King of Hell's blade"!
If Hua Putai wanted to save you, it was like a Bodhisattva's intervention, and you could live as long as you had a breath left.
But if Hua Putai declared you incurable, it was like the King of Hell wielding his blade, and your soul would soon descend to the nine netherworlds!
"What other Hua family is there in Nanyun? Zhou Hao, I'm finding your mind to be less and less sharp. Have you been away from the front lines for too long?" Yang Fei said with a look of helplessness.
The previous incident had already displeased Ling Feng, and Yang Fei was even more annoyed.
Therefore, he spoke without any politeness.
Hearing this, Zhou Hao couldn't help but gasp, realizing he must have made a mistake. He dared not say anything further and drove towards the Hua family at full speed!
"What is this Hua family? And this divine physician Hua, is Ling Feng sick?"
Tang Ru lowered her voice and asked Yang Fei, her words unable to conceal her concern for Ling Feng.
Yang Fei shook his head without responding!
Hua Putai had been rooted in Nanyun for a lifetime, with immense influence and frequent dealings with those involved in witchcraft and curses. He possessed sufficient knowledge of these matters.
Ling Feng, having just arrived in Nanyun, was seeking this person, which was definitely the best way to obtain clues.
However, Yang Fei could not tell Tang Ru about these things.
"Hmph, stingy ghost, what's so great about him!" Tang Ru snorted coquettishly, feeling a bit displeased, but her curiosity grew.
At the same time, she wondered if Ling Feng truly had an ailment.
After all, even with such a beautiful woman like herself placed before him, he wouldn't even glance twice.
Either his eyesight was poor, or there was something wrong with his body.
Even if Ling Feng had no feelings for her, Lin Siqi was also a great beauty!
During those days spent together in the villa, Ling Feng had made no advances...
Thinking of this, Tang Ru became even more convinced that Ling Feng must have some stubborn male ailment.
The reason he didn't explain to her was surely due to shame!
Finding this reason to comfort herself, Tang Ru felt much better, and her gaze towards Ling Feng carried a hint of pity.
Although Ling Feng's eyes were closed, he could clearly sense Tang Ru's gaze scanning his critical areas repeatedly, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
What kind of madness is this woman exhibiting?
After half an hour, they passed through a busy commercial district and arrived at an ancient town.
The surrounding environment was pleasant, with many backpackers walking and laughing.
There were also many vendors selling jade pendants and even antique porcelain, trying to attract customers.
Those who frequently visited Nanyun knew that these touting vendors were a major characteristic here. Those who didn't understand would inevitably be fleeced of some money.
Tang Ru, visiting Nanyun for the first time, saw such an environment and couldn't help but say to Ling Feng, "Hey, Ling Feng, look how beautiful it is here. Shall we go down and stroll around?"
"No!"
Ling Feng uttered two heartless words.
Tang Ru immediately pouted, "Hmph, you're such a boring man!"
"Yes, I am very boring. Don't you want to follow me? Yang Fei, buy her a return ticket and send her back!"
Ling Feng was even more heartless, acting as if he was eager to get rid of Tang Ru.
Yang Fei, not daring to disobey, was about to respond when Tang Ru hurriedly said, "Hmph, don't think you can shake me off, you can't get rid of me!"
Yang Fei wore a wry smile. Seeing that Ling Feng had stopped speaking, he understood Ling Feng's intention.
"Your Excellency, General Yang, this is the old residence of the Hua family, but... it seems a bit lively inside today!" The car stopped thirty meters away from an ancient courtyard. Zhou Hao turned back and reported.
He then got out to help Ling Feng and Yang Fei open the doors, and while bowing, he said again, "Your Excellency, please wait a moment. Your subordinate will go and investigate the situation. Perhaps the Hua family will give us some face and allow us to enter directly."
Ling Feng glanced indifferently at Zhou Hao, "The general's uniform represents honor and responsibility! It is not for you to use as a pass to enter other people's residences!"
Zhou Hao, merely by Ling Feng's gaze, began to tremble all over. His eyes became bloodshot, and his breathing grew heavy like an ox, as if he had returned to the days of battlefield combat!
In his shock, he bowed down, unable to even lift his head: "Yes! Your subordinate knows his mistake!"
"Hurry back!" Yang Fei sternly reprimanded Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao nodded repeatedly and drove away. He knew in his heart that Yang Fei was protecting him. If he stayed any longer and Ling Feng truly became angry, he might be assigned to guard the border.
Ling Feng walked to the gate. It was truly a bustling scene, with throngs of people blocked from entering.
"Wait, what are you here for? The mansion is closed today, no visitors!"
Someone stepped forward to block Ling Feng. Ling Feng and his companions' appearances clearly indicated they were not locals of Nanyun.
Yang Fei quickly stepped forward, "Hello, we are here to visit the divine physician Elder Duan. Please inform him, and say..."
Before Yang Fei could finish speaking, the other person impatiently waved them away, "Hey, who comes here doesn't want to see Elder Duan? Regardless of your status, Elder Duan is not receiving guests today!"
Seeing the other person's hand about to push towards Ling Feng, Yang Fei quickly intervened.
"Heh, even if you're going to turn people away, you should at least give a reason, right?" Yang Fei maintained his smile.
"Hey, you people are really annoying! Divine Physician Hua set up a chess game three days ago. Only those who can break the chess game can see Divine Physician Hua. You come seeking medical treatment, and you don't even know this? Alright, stop the nonsense and get lost!"
Seeing the other person's increasingly impolite words, Yang Fei's smile began to falter.
Ling Feng, however, spoke calmly, "What chess game? I know a bit about chess. May I give it a try?"
"Oh? You know? Heh, don't think you can fool around. If you want to enter our residence, break this chess game first!"
The person blocking the way gave Ling Feng a contemptuous smile and pointed to a stone table on the side, where someone was indeed setting up a chessboard, creating a lively scene.
