Chapter 1593: Chapter 1598: Mountain Village Savage

"I don’t want to know? Master, I know I want to know, so just give me the answer!" Gu Mang asked, hoping Lin Fei could give him an answer.

Lin Fei smiled and shook his head again, "This answer is for you to find out. Didn’t I tell you? If you want to know, you will know. You will work hard to see what makes me value you. If you don’t work hard, you won’t know, and since you don’t know, how would I know?"

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, Gu Mang suddenly realized, "Master means to say, look at my own efforts? If I succeed, it means Master was right. If I fail, then Master was mistaken?"

Lin Fei did not answer, he just smiled, stood up, and said to Gu Mang, "Get ready to leave here and follow me to find my brothers. Prepare well, because we will be walking the entire way, and if you can’t keep up, you’ll be eliminated."

After hearing Lin Fei’s words, Gu Mang immediately prepared himself and left Beidou Sect with Lin Fei.

Before they left Beidou Sect, the Sect Leader Leng Daoqiu surprisingly called Lin Fei back. Lin Fei looked at Sect Leader Leng Daoqiu sitting in the main hall, "Sect Leader Brother, is there something else?"

Leng Daoqiu said helplessly, "Are you really going to just leave like this?"

Lin Fei showed a puzzled look, "What’s wrong? Is there anything else I can help with?"

Leng Daoqiu was quite helpless about Lin Fei’s response, "You’re leisurely every day, truly wonderful. I really wish I could be like you, doing nothing every day and just enjoying life easily."

"Brother, you’re not right. I’m not just enjoying life, and everyone has different ways of enjoying it. Perhaps in your eyes, I’m enjoying life, but for me, it might not be the case. After all, for me, enjoying life is just a luxury," Lin Fei replied.

"Haha, you’re saying it’s like ’if you are not the fish, how do you know the fish’s joy,’ right? In that case, I won’t keep you, Brother. I was hoping you could stay for a while and receive the admiration of many people in the Ancient Martial World."

"There’s no need for admiration. Once I’ve found my brothers, I hope everyone can attend my son’s wedding," Lin Fei said with a smile, then left Sect Leader Leng Daoqiu with Gu Mang.

Leng Daoqiu watched Lin Fei’s departing figure and couldn’t help but smile helplessly. Lin Fei was right; what seems like enjoying life for some isn’t, and for others, what seems like hard work isn’t either. Leng Daoqiu greatly enjoyed the feeling of being busy; perhaps this was his chosen path, one he wanted to continue on.

There might be times of low spirits and moments where the heart doesn’t know where to go, but Leng Daoqiu, looking at Yan Qiubo walking from the side, said, "Qiubo, thank you."

"Thank me for what? I’m just doing my duty as a wife. Rest assured, I won’t miss anyone else but you from now on."

Leng Daoqiu came down from the platform, embraced his wife, and left the great hall...

After leaving Beidou Sect, Lin Fei and Gu Mang walked towards Abyss Canyon.

That place was where Lin Fei had fallen, and his brothers should have heard about his situation, and must be searching nearby. But where they might search, Lin Fei did not know and could only slowly look for them.

"Perhaps the brothers think I’m dead and have already given up." Lin Fei said self-deprecatingly and shook his head, moving forward step by step into the distance.

Finally, Lin Fei and Gu Mang arrived at a mountain village, a village leaning against a mountain. Upon arriving, Lin Fei prepared to take a rest.

"Where are you two going?" asked a villager taking a break under a large tree.

Lin Fei answered, "To Cliff Mountain."

"Oh my goodness, Cliff Mountain is very far away. Why not take a vehicle?" a villager asked, rather shocked by the idea of two people walking to Cliff Mountain, which was hundreds of kilometers away.

"No choice, we’re out of money, so we’ll have to walk," Lin Fei joked. Saying he had no money was quite deceptive, for the Mu Group was his asset and likely the richest company in the world by now.

"Oh, I see. Look at that child behind you; he’s already so hungry. Here, I have some bread; take it," the villager said.

Seeing the villagers so simple-hearted, Lin Fei sat down beside them, gave the food to Gu Mang, and without delay, Gu Mang started eating.

With Lin Fei’s cultivation level, he probably wouldn’t have any issues not eating for decades, but he still maintained his old habits.

This time, though, Lin Fei wasn’t too hung up on habits. After all, on the road, he only ate a rabbit or two as dried food, and didn’t eat or drink otherwise. Gu Mang, behind him, showed remarkable endurance, not complaining of tiredness or pain despite the blisters on his feet.

Lin Fei wasn’t worried about Gu Mang; he was thinking of his brothers. When could he finally find them? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"By the way, old man, have you seen any outsiders around here?" Lin Fei asked, thinking the old man, with his age, might have heard something.

The old man shook his head, "Here, the crops don’t grow well. Where would the outsiders come from? Besides, many have left for the city for better opportunities."

Lin Fei nodded, "I see, that’s how it is."

"Of course. Ever since the ’wild people,’ things have been restless here. One family loses a goose, another loses a chicken, and every few days, the wild people come down from the mountains, leaving us helpless," the old man said.

Hearing the old man’s words, Lin Fei was surprised.

"What? Wild people? Can you tell us more about them, old man? Maybe we can help!" Lin Fei said, intrigued by the mention of wild people.

He wouldn’t believe there were wild people in the mountains. Surely, someone must be playing tricks; otherwise, it wouldn’t be this way. Stealing chickens and geese must be human acts; otherwise, wild animals would have harmed humans long ago.

The old man, seeing Lin Fei’s interest, started talking at length since it was noon, the sun too hot, and there was nothing else to do.

After listening to the old man’s explanation, Lin Fei finally understood what he meant, and what the so-called wild people referred to, who had been around for seven or eight years...
