The Spirit World

Chapter 218: Truly let nature take its course.

I'm like, pretty bad.

I can't do anything right.
I can't do anything.
Nothing.

Can't do it.

"Miss, this child... is awake..."

When Chang Yufeng woke up, he heard these words.

It was very strange. I rubbed my forehead over and over again in someone else's hand, and it seemed like the swelling was going down.

Own……

Being beaten by someone...

Too...normal...

Has your body recovered?
“What kind of miraculous recovery ability is this…” The woman looked at herself in surprise.

Chang Yufeng sat up slowly, his eyes were bloodshot. He wiped the blood, and blue spiritual power ran rampant in his hands.

"Ah... So, you feel cowardly too? Xun Huangying..." Chang Yufeng smiled bitterly and looked at the people around him. They were passers-by who gathered around. A woman pointed at the nose of the person who hit her and cursed arrogantly.

He should be defending himself. The fat and big-eared man seemed to be very afraid of that woman. It was really strange. He could punch himself several times without even breathing, but he became scared when he saw that woman.

"Get it? Don't let me see you again!" the woman yelled, making everyone around her look at her in fear and take a step back.

"Just wait for me!" The fat and big-eared man seemed unconvinced and pointed at the woman with gritted teeth.

The woman actually took a step forward and stared at the fat and big-eared man without giving in at all.

"Just wait and see. If you have the guts, come to my Li Mansion! I'll skin you alive!" It seemed that the woman's surname was Li.

The surname Li...The Li family...

It seems like he met a young lady from a wealthy family.

This is really scary.

Chang Yufeng touched his eyes and they recovered quickly, and he could soon see the person in front of him clearly. The woman beside him wiped the blood clean with a soft silk scarf.

After the fat-headed and big-eared man left, Chang Yufeng touched his hand. Even if spiritual power was flowing through him, it couldn't make him happy, because what he needed now was not spiritual power, but a direction. Having spiritual power alone was not enough.

I must find someone who can appease the Grand Steward - I am not here to grab power, otherwise it is very likely to arouse the current emperor's anger towards me. He has finally come to take over the throne, and if I suddenly come here, suspicion will arise, and I will be in trouble.

However, finding this breakthrough is extremely difficult. Not to mention that he has no close friends here and it is difficult for them to support him, even his seniority is difficult to compare with that of the general manager.

What is good, what is good...

"You rely on the fact that you are from the Li family. If you are not, I will tear you apart!" The fat and big-eared man shook his head, looking ferocious, but obviously frustrated. His words were not very pleasant, but his tone was half weaker and his voice was much lower.

"Hmph, it's because of you cockroach bullies that this entire Bailingshan Street is so dirty that it's appalling. Next time I see you again, you will be killed without a complete corpse! Do you hear me?" The woman's words made everyone present sweat.

The man left angrily, and the woman also came over here.

"Miss... He's almost recovered..." The woman next to her should be a maid, and she looked at her standing there awkwardly, neither crying nor laughing, watching her mistress walk over with her hands on her hips. She quickly stood up as well.

"What?" The woman put her hands on her hips, as if she was still angry.

"I... feel much better..." Chang Yufeng did not act as if nothing had happened. Instead, he stood very weakly, supporting himself by leaning against the wall.

The maid wanted to help him, but was swayed by Chang Yufeng's shaking head and was reluctant to come closer.

"Let me see..." The young lady touched her forehead, trying to find out...what was wrong with her?
Come on, I was beaten by an angry asshole, not sick...

Chang Yufeng blinked a little and wanted to laugh. The person who saved him... seemed... not very reliable except for being as arrogant as a shrew just now.

"Miss...she is really fine, and she is not sick. Only if she is sick would she touch her forehead and measure the temperature..." The maid whispered in the young lady's ear. The young lady kept looking at Chang Yufeng, as if she was not embarrassed at all.

"Little brother, what's your name?" The lady raised her hand and wanted to wipe the blood off Chang Yufeng's face with a towel, but Chang Yufeng lightly raised his hand to stop her, but her force pushed his hand away, and the towel seemed to hit his face, causing a burning pain.

"My name is Chang Yufeng..." Chang Yufeng cried out, which scared the young lady.

"Ah?!" The eldest lady and the maid looked at each other in surprise.

"You must have remembered it wrongly."

"Yes, that's my name."

The two women looked at the passers-by, then looked at Chang Yufeng who had an innocent face, and then nodded to each other.

Wow, in an instant, Chang Yufeng was picked up by the maid. The maid grabbed Chang Yufeng's thigh with one hand and his back with the other hand, held him in her arms, and quickly left through the street next to her.

Chang Yufeng didn't even know where this came from.

In this way, he was carried from the east side of the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Street in Bailing Mountain to the west side.

"you sure?"

Chang Yufeng was placed on a small stool.

Two pairs of eyes were staring at him. There was no sense of oppression, only questions.

"Excuse me...are there many people named Chang Yufeng..."

"That's not the case..."

"Miss... this child might be stupid. He got better in a short time after being beaten so many times. I'm afraid he has become so stupid that he looks beyond recognition..." The maid looked at Chang Yufeng with disdain.

The young lady was touching her chin. Her hair was a little messy, her eyes were dark, and she had some light makeup on.

"Do you know who Chang Yufeng is?"

……

It seems... the spiritual power... has disappeared again...

How strange...Xunhuangying...what on earth is he doing...

Why not tell himself what he is going to do?

I have said so many things, saying to just let things take their course, but I am becoming more and more confused.

Spiritual power sometimes comes and sometimes goes...

Could it be related to these two women?
Or will it appear whenever I'm in danger? When there's no danger, it disappears...

Xunhuangying...what are you thinking about?

Three Thousand Palaces...

Chang Yufeng touched his pocket as if he woke up from a shock. This action scared the two girls, who thought he was looking for a knife.

Chang Yufeng didn't know what they wanted to do, but they were kind enough to help him. No matter how cruel her words were, they wouldn't do anything to him...

But... the junction of the three thousand palaces disappeared...

Chang Yufeng slapped his head...

Now, has something happened to Xun Huangying... or is it as planned?
It doesn't matter if you pat the head. After patting the head, the owners of the two pairs of eyes looked at each other and nodded.

As if confirming his own... stupidity.

"Your real name is Chang Yufeng?"

Miss Dajia repeated it again.

Chang Yufeng was in a bad mood, and his face suddenly became gloomy. When she asked, he just nodded.

"Maybe it's the same name! Hmm!" The maid nodded heavily.

"Your real name is Chang Yufeng?"

Why did I tell them that my name was Chang Yufeng...which was my real name? In fact, it was not something I thought of on impulse at the time, but I had already prepared it when I bought the clothes.

Firstly, the news of Chang Yufeng's return was spread so that the Grand Steward could be prepared and not be caught off guard. Not to mention good or bad preparations, just the arrangement of Chang Yufeng's position required a proper "discussion" between the Grand Steward and the Emperor.

Secondly, he had not intended to return in glory. Wearing nicer clothes was a sign of respect for his status and would not anger the chief steward. Not to mention being beaten accidentally, even if he was beaten, there was a way to deal with it, which was to stay down and let the chief steward know that he was not cut out for management. Moreover, the name Chang Yufeng was better known as far and as bright as possible. As long as Chang Yufeng returned alone, the people in Wenti County would naturally be less likely to face accidental fatal dangers.

Chang Yufeng was asked again if his name was really Chang Yufeng. He had no idea. His mind was blank. He knew nothing.

The disappearance of the Three Thousand Palaces was a matter of great importance, and my jade pendant was still inside...

A jade pendant that belongs exclusively to the young master of the Ning family.

As long as you show this jade pendant, you will be the last direct descendant of the Ning family.

Chang Yufeng.

Candidate for the Lord of White Spirit.

But...if it's lost, all my efforts after traveling for months to come to Bailing Mountain and here will be gone.

Even, destruction.

After he came to his senses and heard those words, he just nodded woodenly.

"Did you drop something?" The eldest lady looked at Chang Yufeng. She seemed a little worried. Chang Yufeng's expression seemed to have changed three times, each time becoming more dull and cute.

"No..." Chang Yufeng replied, shook his head, and let out a breath, as if he was very sad.

Does this look like when you first came here?
I know nothing and am played around with by others.

What’s even more sad is that I was just a child at that time.

I understand nothing, I don’t comprehend anything, everything is controlled, there is nothing.

Know nothing.

This time, this time, I come with just this courage.

?
"I see that your expression just now is completely different from now. You seem very sad now. Didn't you lose something?" Although the eldest lady was very rude and her words were shocking on the street, Chang Yufeng still noticed the contrast caused by her concern for others now.

"No... It was originally like this, there was nothing in my pocket..." Chang Yufeng turned out his pocket. There were new clothes inside, so naturally there was nothing.

"You have no property, how can you afford this dress that costs three hundred gold coins? No way... I often see it in the store. This dress is almost pure black. If it weren't for your good reputation, no one would buy it for three hundred gold coins. The small size fits you perfectly. How is it possible that you have nothing?" The maid seemed to always be able to say something like fantasy, and she looked very smart.

"Do you know who Chang Yufeng is?" The eldest lady was convinced of Chang Yufeng's answer and continued to ask the previous topic.

I... am Chang Yufeng...

Isn't it? Is there another me in this world?
"..." Chang Yufeng didn't say anything. Something was strange at this moment, so he decided to just wait and see.

"Chang Yufeng is the current young master of Bailing Mountain. He returned three months ago to inherit the position of young master. You have the same name, so even if you have no ill intentions, you will still be beheaded."

The eldest lady looked at Chang Yufeng in surprise, and Chang Yufeng looked at him in surprise when he heard the first sentence.

Open your mouth and listen to her.

"Yes, yes, yes. Actually, there were people pretending to be here a few days ago, but now that the real ones have come, those fake ones are even more fake..." The maid nodded.

"I saved you with good intentions, please don't lie to me. Is your name Chang Yufeng? Tell the truth." After taking a closer look at the woman in front of him, he discovered that her eyebrows were like a caterpillar, quite thick, and her eyes were a little small, but she still looked pretty, otherwise, she would have been laughed at.

The maid had a kind face and was quite clever.

They all looked at themselves in fear.

Maybe he was afraid of being implicated? Maybe he was afraid that the child in front of him would say something scary.

"I……"

Chang Yufeng understood.

Now, I finally understand.

I understand it completely.

So this is what it means to let things take their course.

First, I am no longer Chang Yufeng.

But he is a so-called ordinary boy in the spiritual world.

No longer participate in anything, no longer continue any activities, no longer proceed with any actions.

I can only watch the development of the situation stupidly.

Second, he is no longer the high-spirited young man, nor is he the young master who can possess the Lord of the White Spirit.

But a "guy" without any spiritual power

You can be laughed at, you can be beaten up, you can be beaten violently.

You can die quietly.

Third, everything should be left to nature instead of being carried out with your own participation.

I can’t get anything, I can’t do anything, I can’t… do anything.

Okay, that's what nature should be.

Xunhuangying, is this also part of your plan?

"I... was just joking with you guys... Hahaha, you've been fooled." Chang Yufeng smiled foolishly and scratched his head.

The enemy's antics seem to be getting stronger.

If we really let things take their course and don't get involved, then will everything go smoothly?
Is there anyone who wants to see this kind of situation?

Or did Xun Huangying also compromise?

"Boom!"

A bang hit Chang Yufeng's head so loudly that it scared the cat sleeping outside the door. The cat jumped up from the side, scratched the pole it was holding, and finally fell to the ground.

“Ah… it hurts all over…”

"Is it fun? You'll be beheaded! Your entire family will be executed! Do you think I'm joking? You naughty kid! I saved you because I felt sorry for you, but I didn't expect you to be such a liar!" The eldest lady hit him so hard that Chang Yufeng even cried in pain.

Indeed, compared with the execution of the entire family, a blow to the head is much lighter.

"Miss...you are really scared." The maidservant suddenly softened and wiped the sweat from her head.

Chang Yufeng knew why they were afraid.

If they rescued someone pretending to be an important figure in the military hub, they would be implicated regardless of whether it was true or not, and there would be no room for negotiation.

So, you have to be careful with alcohol when saving people. If you are cheated, it will be hard to explain yourself even if you are right.

"I was just joking... Really... Thank you for saving me..." Chang Yufeng had mixed feelings, but still forced a smile.

"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake. I'm tired of looking at that fat pig anymore." The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief and looked outside the door.

It’s best if no one hears it.

"Just go where you should go, and don't talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense, your tongue will be cut off." The maid was also fierce. She nodded and gave Chang Yufeng a few copper coins strung together.

"Take it and eat something. It would be best if you could hurry home. You don't look like a poor family in the clothes you're wearing. Take a taxi back. It's better not to come to Bailing Mountain."

"..."

Bailing Mountain...

Master Bai Ling...

I……

A lot of changes have taken place,
Be caught off guard.

Really, just let it be.
