The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

“Miss Feng, what’s going on?”

Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhe could no longer hold back and asked.

“Shh!”

Feng Qingya made a zipping motion across her lips.

She then knocked on the wooden door three times.

Su Jingzhen discovered that this courtyard didn’t even have a protective array set up.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in this alleyway was extremely thin.

He could imagine that the people living here must be the true bottom rung of Tianning City, just like him before he awakened his Golden Finger.

But since Feng Qingya had chosen to come here first, he believed that the people living here shouldn’t be as he imagined.

Before long, the old wooden door creaked open.

A delicate face peeked out from inside.

It was a young girl, about 13 or 14 years old.

Her big eyes sparkled, and she wore a blue-green dress.

The girl looked around the doorway, and when she saw Feng Qingya, her face lit up with surprise and delight.

“Sister Feng, you’ve finally come!”

After exclaiming in surprise, the girl took a step forward and threw her arms around Feng Qingya’s arm.

She seemed to be acting coquettishly.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen’s eyes widened in surprise once again.

So they really did know each other.

“Little Ling, are Grandfather and Sister at home?”

Feng Qingya asked with a smile in her eyes, as she ruffled the little girl’s hair.

“Grandfather is at home, but Sister has gone out and hasn’t come back yet. But she should be back soon, Sister Feng, please come in.”

As she spoke, the little girl, Little Ling, pulled Feng Qingya’s arm, leading her into the house.

“Wait a minute, Little Ling. This is Sister’s friend, Su Jingzhen.”

At this time, Feng Qingya wouldn’t possibly abandon Su Jingzhen.

Upon hearing this, Little Ling’s big eyes sparkled, and she glanced at Su Jingzhen a few times.

Her smile grew even more radiant.

“This Brother Su is so handsome, and he matches Sister Feng perfectly.”

As soon as she said this, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but laugh, and Feng Qingya shook her head helplessly.

Kids these days were truly fearless.

Little Ling then said, “Hello, Brother Su. My name is Dantai Ling’er. Since you’re Sister Feng’s friend, you’re also our family’s friend. Please come in.”

Su Jingzhen smiled slightly again.

He was becoming increasingly curious about the owner of this courtyard.

He could see that Little Ling was extremely lively and had likely already awakened her spiritual roots.

Moreover, her spiritual roots probably weren’t too bad either.

As he crossed the threshold and entered the courtyard, Su Jingzhen discovered that it was surprisingly spacious.

Moreover, he caught a whiff of medicinal herbs as soon as he entered.

It wasn’t the smell of pills, but rather the fragrance of various medicinal herbs.

There were over ten wooden racks in the courtyard, with various types of medicinal herbs drying on them.

Su Jingzhen sensed it briefly, and his eyebrows furrowed again.

Because he discovered that the spiritual energy contained within these medicinal herbs was extremely low-grade.

Su Jingzhen remained expressionless, following Little Ling and Feng Qingya deeper into the courtyard.

Before long, he heard the sound of a mortar and pestle pounding away.

Following the sound, he saw an old man with gray hair and one arm, pounding away at a mortar in a stone trough beneath a row of medicinal herb racks.

He had an unassuming aura, looking like a simple old farmer.

When Feng Qingya saw the old man, her expression turned serious once again.

She stood three steps away and respectfully bowed to the old man.

“Junior Feng Qingya greets Senior Dantai!”

Upon hearing Feng Qingya’s greeting, the old man stopped his movements, looked up at her, and nodded lightly.

“Ah, the Feng family girl has grown up so big. Not bad, not bad. Your father has a good daughter.”

He only glanced at Feng Qingya briefly before praising her like this.

When the old man spoke, Feng Qingya’s eyes darkened for a moment.

Then, she smiled and said, “Senior, you’re too kind. I won’t beat around the bush. I’ve come to visit you, Senior Dantai, and I also want to ask for your help.”

As she spoke, Feng Qingya’s eyes shone brightly, filled with expectation.

She didn’t waste any time on small talk, directly stating her purpose.

Su Jingzhen was seeing this side of Feng Qingya for the first time, and it was quite a shock.

Even Little Ling’s face turned serious, her eyes filled with tension.

Su Jingzhen’s expression grew even more astonished.

It seemed that the person Feng Qingya wanted to help was this old man.

As soon as Feng Qingya spoke, the entire courtyard fell silent.

Dantai Mingjing’s gaze was fixed on Feng Qingya, and after a long time, he finally spoke.

“Do you think this old man still has the ability to leave the mountain?”

As he spoke, he stood up, and Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya suddenly realized that he not only lacked his right arm but also his left leg.

Before Feng Qingya could say anything, Dantai Mingjing continued, “I don’t have much time left to live. I just want to live out the rest of my days in peace and stability, so please don’t trouble me, Miss Feng.”

As he spoke, his tone was tinged with sadness and bitterness.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingya’s face also fell, filled with disappointment.

She had placed all her hopes on Dantai Mingjing, but he had given her such a response.

After a moment of silence, Feng Qingya spoke again, her voice filled with desperation.

“Senior Dantai, you must have heard about the Alchemy Conference being held in Yunmeng City. This is the last chance for my family, and if we fail, our fate will be sealed. Please, Senior, help us for my father’s sake.”

As she spoke, Feng Qingya’s voice was filled with helplessness and sorrow.

“Grandpa, please help Sister Feng,”

Little Ling next to him couldn’t help but chime in.

However, Dantai Mingjing still shook his head, sighing.

“It’s precisely because this conference is so important to Miss Feng that I cannot help. You should know, Miss Feng, that the old man in front of you is no longer the Dantai Mingjing of the past.”

Listening to their conversation, Su Jingzhen regretted not having more information.

The old man in front of him must have been a famous figure in the past.

But he was completely unfamiliar with the words”Dantai Mingjing”.

However, even after Dantai Mingjing said this, Feng Qingya still didn’t give up.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again, “What if… what if my family uses the last promise your senior made to my father?”
