Lonely nobleman

In the town of Yunyang, the nearest to the Cloud Sea Sect, there lived a declining aristocratic family surnamed Duan. They were said to be descendants of the royal family, but due to their ancestors offending the monarch, they were expelled from the royal family and sent to this remote town, gradually declining.

Of course, the townspeople were not inclined to believe this rumor. How could descendants of the royal family, who were of royal blood, fall to the point of living in a small town?

The Duan family lived in an ancient courtyard to the north of the town. At this moment, in front of the courtyard, there were several very spacious carriages parked, seemingly ready for a journey.

"Sis, we're ready to depart."

A young man of about fourteen walked up to a beautiful woman and called out.

The beautiful woman's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried. She gazed into the distance, towards the direction of the Cloud Sea Sect, her eyes filled with deep sorrow.

She had never dreamed that during the days she was away from the sect, the Cloud Sea Sect would encounter such a catastrophe, being exterminated in a single day, everyone, all dead, all of them...

"Okay."

The beautiful young woman heard the young man's call, forced a smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Young Master, get on the carriage, we're leaving now."

"Sis, don't think too much. When we get to the imperial city, I'll introduce you to a talented young man."

The beautiful woman shook her head, forcing out a smile.

"Young Master, everyone is waiting for us. Let's go."

"Alright." The young man nodded and walked towards the direction of the guards.

"Jingyun, you and Young Master sit inside. Leave the outside to us."

A young guard said generously, looking at Jingyun with a hint of ambiguity in his eyes. As Jingyun grew older, she became more and more beautiful, and the young guards of the Duan family all had thoughts about her.

"Yes, Jingyun, just rest inside. We and Mr. Wang are outside." Another youth also came forward, smiling.

"Sis, they're right, let's sit inside." The young man surnamed Duan pulled Jingyun into the spacious carriage. Though Jingyun was just a maid raised by his family since childhood, she was like a sister to him.

Jingyun didn't refuse and went into the white curtains of the carriage.

At the same time, Lin Feng and Meng Qing also arrived in Yunyang Town.

"We can't even find a carriage in this town." Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly at the desolation of the town. His purpose for this trip was the imperial city of the Snow Moon Kingdom, which was far away. Walking there was obviously not realistic.

It was all because Lin Feng had left the mountain too hastily and had forgotten to bring two horses.

"Is that a carriage over there?" Meng Qing pointed in the distance and said softly. Lin Feng raised his head to look in that direction and couldn't help but be stunned. Several carriages were coming towards him.

"How coincidental."

With a slight smile, Lin Feng quickly walked up and stopped the carriages.

"Who are you to stop the carriages?" A young man, seeing Lin Feng stopping the carriages, couldn't help but angrily shout.

"Friend, you've only used one carriage, and there are two left. Could you lend us one? I'm willing to pay handsomely." Lin Feng smiled at the young man and said politely.

Inside the carriage, Jingyun trembled all over when she heard this familiar voice. Through the transparent curtains, she saw Lin Feng's figure, and a joyful smile appeared in her eyes.

"Sorry, we'll need these carriages later and can't lend them to you."

The carriage driver, Mr. Wang, looked at Lin Feng and replied.

"That's right, get lost. Who cares about your money." The young man in black coldly said, making Lin Feng furrow his brows slightly. Why be so rude if you don't want to lend it?

"Lin Feng."

A voice full of surprise came from the curtain, and Jingyun stepped out, her smile particularly bright. He was alive! The Cloud Sea Sect had been exterminated, but Lin Feng was still alive.

"Jingyun!"

Lin Feng's gaze also slightly froze as he looked at this graceful figure walking out, a similarly brilliant smile blooming in his eyes.

"Jingyun, who is he?"

At this time, the man in black rode his horse to Lin Feng's side and looked down at Lin Feng arrogantly and indifferently.

"Lin Feng, you're really alive. What happened to the sect?" Jingyun seemed unbelievable, walking quickly to Lin Feng's side, directly ignoring the man in black, which made the man in black's eyes even colder.

Lin Feng found Jingyun's words a bit strange and looked at her, asking, "You don't know?"

"I don't. During the second round of the sect's grand competition, the young master was notified to go to the imperial city. Naturally, I had to go with him. So I came down the mountain and returned to the sect a few days later, intending to bid farewell to you, but... but..." Jingyun's eyes were bloodshot, unable to continue. That scene had become her nightmare, lingering.

"I see." Lin Feng felt fortunate for Jingyun's luck. Fortunately, she had something to do and wasn't at the sect, otherwise...

"Jingyun, who is he?"

At this moment, the steward holding the reins, Mr. Wang, asked.

"Mr. Wang, this is my friend Lin Feng, a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect."

Jingyun pulled Lin Feng and introduced him to Mr. Wang.

"Ah." Mr. Wang nodded slightly towards Lin Feng.

"Huh, the sect was exterminated, yet he's still alive. I wonder how he managed to survive." The young man in black, seeing Jingyun's warmth towards Lin Feng, felt a chill in his heart and sarcastically said, making Jingyun furrow her brows.

"Wan Qingshan, what do you mean?" Jingyun looked coldly at the man in black, anger in her voice.

"What I mean, some people understand in their hearts." Wan Qingshan continued to sneer coldly, looking at Lin Feng with disdain.

Jingyun was an outer disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect. Since Lin Feng was familiar with her, he was naturally also an outer disciple. At most, he was at the eighth or ninth level of the Qi Martial Realm. Now that he had reached the peak of the Qi Martial Realm, of course, he was no match for Lin Feng.

Moreover, with the entire Cloud Sea Sect exterminated and Lin Feng still alive, he might just be a cowardly survivor.

Lin Feng shook his head inwardly, too lazy to pay attention to Wan Qingshan. He didn't bother to bother.

"Jingyun, are you going to the imperial city?"

"Yes." Jingyun nodded.

"Great, I'm also going to the imperial city. Can you lend me a carriage, and we can travel together."

"Really? Let me ask the young master for you. It should be no problem." Jingyun was delighted to hear that Lin Feng was also going to the imperial city

.

"Jingyun, this doesn't seem appropriate." Mr. Wang said indifferently.

"Mr. Wang, Lin Feng is also a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect, and he is very capable. With him accompanying us, he can also act as our guard."

"Yes, I can be your guard." Lin Feng nodded.

"The sect has been exterminated, how capable could he be? We don't need him." Wan Qingshan sarcastically said.

"Jingyun, you should be clear about the purpose of our trip. It's not quite appropriate for him to come, but giving him a carriage is no problem." Mr. Wang pondered for a moment and said, the other two carriages were spare, and if nothing unexpected happened, they wouldn't be needed. It was better to give them to Lin Feng.

As for letting Lin Feng follow, it was better not to.

"Mr. Wang, it's okay, let him come along."

At this moment, the young master also got off the carriage and came to Lin Feng, smiling, "My name is Duan Feng."

"Lin Feng." Lin Feng nodded slightly at the young master and smiled. His name was harmonious with his own.

"Young Master..." Mr. Wang looked at Duan Feng, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Duan Feng, "Mr. Wang, Jingyun and I have nothing to do in the carriage. It's perfect for Lin Feng to accompany us and chat."

"Young Master, how can this be?" Wan Qingshan, hearing that Duan Feng wanted both Lin Feng and Jingyun to go inside the carriage, was a little displeased, and the other young guards also stepped forward to stop him.

"Young Master, your status is noble. How can you sit with such a lowly person?"

Another young man with small eyes disagreed.

"What's noble about my status? Alright, let's not talk about it. If I say it's okay, then it's okay."

Duan Feng said decisively, then looked at Lin Feng, "Big Brother Lin Feng, let's get on the carriage together."

"Wait, I have a friend."

Lin Feng turned around and saw Meng Qing still standing there, and couldn't help but call out, "Meng Qing."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's call, Meng Qing finally lifted her footsteps and walked slowly towards them, standing behind Lin Feng.

Seeing Meng Qing's incredibly dreamy figure, all the young guards were stunned, even though her face was covered by a light veil, they could still feel her stunning beauty, and they were full of infinite admiration for the face under that veil.

"What a beautiful young lady."

Having not paid attention to Meng Qing before, Mr. Wang couldn't help but silently praise her beauty now.

Jingyun was already considered beautiful, but compared to Meng Qing, she seemed a bit lacking. Meng Qing's temperament alone made people yearn for her.

Jingyun also noticed Meng Qing at this time. Seeing her standing quietly behind Lin Feng, a complex look flashed in Jingyun's beautiful eyes.

"This sister is so beautiful. Lin Feng, since she is your friend, let's go on the carriage and talk together."

Duan Feng said enthusiastically.

"Yes, Lin Feng, let's go on the carriage together."

Jingyun nodded and smiled.

"Let's get on the carriage." Lin Feng said to Meng Qing and then stepped onto the carriage, entering the curtain.

Wan Qingshan and the other young guards all looked at that graceful figure, and had long since thrown their rejection to the clouds.

"This kid, I'll make you look good. A disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect, hmph!"

Thinking that Lin Feng had the favor of two beauties, Wan Qingshan couldn't help but feel jealous.
