The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 256 A Year of Diligent Training, Three Years of Bloody Battle [Part 5]

In Luoyang City, a bright moon hangs on the northwest horizon, casting shimmering silver light; to the southeast, a fiery sun occupies most of the sky, its crimson rays illuminating the earth.

The silvery-white and fiery-red light shone brightly, illuminating the white walls, green tiles, and emerald pavilions in the city.

The city was bustling with traffic, and the streets were filled with crowds of pedestrians.

These scenes of everyday life all highlight the liveliness and prosperity of this place.

"Candied hawthorn, candied hawthorn, sweet and sour, one penny each, one penny each!"

"Selling sesame seed cakes! Freshly baked Dalang sesame seed cakes, fragrant, crispy, and delicious!"

On the bustling streets, pedestrians displayed a variety of expressions: some stopped at stalls, frowning as they searched for treasures; others carried loads of goods, loudly hawking their wares; and still others, in twos and threes, chased and played among the porcelain dolls, their faces beaming with joy.

But without exception, they were all wearing thick cotton-padded coats, looking bulky and comical.

It was already late autumn, and winter would arrive in a few days. The cold winter atmosphere could be clearly felt from the temperature around us and the clothes people were wearing.

"Whoohoo-"

The chilly wind blowing from all around seemed to pierce the bone, yet it also stirred up a lively and bustling scene.

Feng Ling was slender and dressed only in a black outfit, which attracted the attention of many interested passersby, but they were all startled.

His face was cold and stern as he silently moved through the crowd. Wherever he passed, the people around him would part on their own without noticing. Only after he had passed would they return to normal.

This scene was extremely eerie. Every passerby who caught a glimpse of it was terrified, as if they had encountered a venomous snake, and quickly turned away, as if trying to avoid it at all costs.

"Swish-swish—" In front of the Sun family mansion gate, a servant was sweeping the courtyard. The red characters for "double happiness" on the lintel still bore traces of the festive decorations. Footsteps approached, and the servant, sensing someone coming, looked up. At first, he felt the person's figure was very familiar, but when the person got closer, he saw the face clearly and exclaimed, "Young Master Feng?"

"I was unaware of Young Hero Feng's arrival! Please come in! You two, hurry and inform City Lord Qi and his wife that we have distinguished guests..."

This servant was about sixty years old and had a cultivation level of about the eighth level. He ordered two guards to run into the mansion and out of the mansion, respectively, indicating that one of them was not there.

"No need, I have important business to attend to!"

Feng Ling glanced at him indifferently, waved his hand and threw out a golden light, then turned and headed towards another mansion in the city.

A few minutes later, a pretty woman with a slightly protruding belly walked slowly out of the Sun residence with the careful assistance of several maids. The sweeping servants quickly stepped forward to greet her and handed her the imperial edict.

“Feng Ling has done a great favor for my Sun family, why didn’t you persuade him to stay? Did you send someone to inform the city lord?”

"Please forgive me, Madam. I could stay, but I can't! Besides, Young Master Feng instructed me not to go to any trouble. Therefore, I didn't inform the City Lord..."

Sun Yuyang frowned as she stared at the trembling servant. Although there was a hint of anger in her eyes, she waved her hand to signal him to leave and did not reprimand him further.

Having had some contact with him, she knew very well that Feng Ling was inherently humble on the outside but proud on the inside. Apart from a limited number of people, no one could force him to do anything or change any of his decisions.

Moreover, after witnessing Feng Yuqing's death while shielding him from a sword, Feng Ling's personality must be even more unpredictable.

Even if one day Sun Yuyang suddenly heard the news that Feng Ling's personality had changed drastically, she would not be surprised at all.

Every time a baby hatches, it's a new beginning!
Life is not sustained by hope; rather, hope arises from perseverance… Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages present a pure land for your souls.
