Arriving at the Medical Clinic's entrance, the usually deserted street was now packed with people.

Xiao Ling'er's Medical Clinic was conveniently located near the city gate, resulting in a massive flow of people.

"Excuse me, excuse me..." Xiao Feng squeezed for quite a while before finally reaching the front.

"Where did this rude young man come from!" An elderly man, who had been pushed aside by Xiao Feng, grumbled. But when he turned and saw Xiao Feng, his tone immediately changed.

"Xiao Feng ah, it's been so long since I've seen you! Come, come, stand in front of me!" He even shouted, "Divine Doctor Xiao is here, make way for him!"

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, and upon seeing Xiao Feng, most of them made way, allowing Xiao Feng to walk directly through.

"Divine Doctor Xiao, it's been a long time."

"Indeed, Divine Doctor Xiao is still as handsome as ever, with the same charm I had in my younger days."

"Thanks to Divine Doctor Xiao, I was able to save my leg. I wanted to thank you in person, but your sister wouldn't let me see you."

"Haha, Boss Wang, there's no need for thanks. I am a doctor, and saving people is my duty," Xiao Feng said with a smile.

"Ah, forget being a doctor, you're practically a medical sage! If you ask me, that someone from the Vermilion Bird Empire... that..."

"Immortal Doctor Bai Ling'er," someone interjected, reminding him.

"Yes, yes, that's her! That so-called Immortal Doctor, I feel like she's far behind you."

"But you have to admit, it's said that the Immortal Doctor is as beautiful as a celestial being, and her medical skills are even more extraordinary, simply miraculous. However, it's said that there hasn't been any news of her for over a decade, and she's supposedly in seclusion cultivating. Many patients have been disappointed as a result."

"Tch! A waste who doesn't even dare to break through to the God Tribulation Realm. What's the use of great medical skills? I can crush her with a flick of my wrist!" A bystander, seeing Xiao Feng being so popular, mocked with disdain.

"Who said that? Who said that? Come out and compare notes with me if you have the guts!" Xiao Feng didn't even care, but the others couldn't stand it and immediately retorted angrily.

"That's right! Come and compare notes with us first, let's see how powerful you are!" With one person taking the lead, others followed suit, jeering.

The man, seeing so many people speaking up for Xiao Feng, immediately wilted like a withered flower and fell silent...

Xiao Feng recognized these people... most of them were people who had come to the Medical Clinic for treatment back then, many of whom had been injured for various reasons, resulting in slight attachment by the Abyss, and had come to the Medical Clinic for wound treatment.

Hearing so many people speaking up for him, Xiao Feng didn't say anything, but his heart felt warm.

Even though most people in the Abyss might resort to any means for the Mystic Path, they are ultimately people with flesh and blood. How could they be inferior to beasts who know how to repay kindness?

With the "courtesy" of the crowd, Xiao Feng arrived at the very front of the crowd. At this time, the central avenue was completely empty, presumably deliberately left open.

"Xiao Brother~" A child's tender voice came over. Xiao Feng looked towards the direction of the voice and saw a little girl of about 9 years old, running towards him.

"Yao'er! What are you doing here?" Xiao Feng squatted down and asked with a smile.

Next to her, a strong man appeared and said, "Thanks to Divine Doctor Xiao, or else I don't know what I would have done. At that time, my child was eroded by the Abyss, and those quack doctors all said they would have to cut off her arm. Fortunately, Divine Doctor Xiao saved my Yao'er's arm."

"My Yao'er has been constantly clamoring to see you, but your sister has always refused to let her visit. I heard that Qing Yun was coming back, and thinking that you were so familiar back then, you would definitely come, haha, I was right."

"I've been in seclusion cultivating recently, so perhaps my sister didn't allow you to visit," Xiao Feng explained.

This strong man's name was Situ Hao, the head of the Si Family, and the Si Family was also one of the four major families in Flowing Wind City. His Mystic Path cultivation was Peak God Lord! That's why Situ Yao could come out, because at this moment, Situ Hao was releasing Mystic Power to help resist the erosion of the Abyss Dust.

"The four major families of Flowing Wind City are the Qi Family, the Si Family, the Wang Family, and the Ximen Family."

Speaking of cultivation, Situ Hao sighed and said, "Ah, these years, various rumors have been spreading. I imagine you haven't been having an easy time either. Your Mystic Path talent is clearly higher than that little girl from the Qi Family, but now... bah, how unlucky."

...Xiao Feng, he knew that the Si Family's head had always been straightforward in character. Being able to become the head of the family was entirely dependent on his strong Mystic Path cultivation.

"Yao Yao, you've seen Xiao Feng now, can we go? Your mother would scold me to death if she knew I brought you out," Situ Hao asked in a pleading tone.

"No, no, I want to see more of Xiao Brother~"

Situ Hao looked helpless and turned to Xiao Feng for help.

Xiao Feng looked at Situ Yao and said softly, "Yao'er, be good and go home. I'll come to your house to see you then, okay?"

"Okay~" Situ Yao said in a childish voice, "Then you have to play with me for a while, cultivating every day is so boring."

"Okay, but you have to cultivate well too. When you break through to the God Soul Realm, you can come out and see me yourself. I'll take you out to play properly then, is that a promise?"

"Okay~"

Watching the Situ father and daughter leave, Xiao Feng heard a familiar voice again, "Xiao Brother, Xiao Brother..."

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Feng's face twitched involuntarily. He quickly regained his senses and looked towards the source of the voice, feigning surprise, "Big Brother Qi?"

"Hahaha... Xiao Brother is also here to welcome my sister," Qi Panjian said, walking towards Xiao Feng.

"Yes... It's been so long since Qing Yun went out to train. I thought I'd come out to see her," Xiao Feng said in a reminiscent tone.

"Hehe... I knew Xiao Brother wouldn't give up on my sister. After all, my sister is so beautiful and has such high talent. But it won't be easy for you to compete now. Recently, my Qi Family's threshold has been worn down by the Ximen Family, the Wang Family, and the Si Family."

"A favored daughter of heaven, as it should be," Xiao Feng replied in a calm tone, as if he was just casually chatting about "gossip." Qi Panjian carefully looked at Xiao Feng's face, seeing that Xiao Feng had no emotional fluctuations, he felt bored. He didn't know how to say the "words" he had prepared in advance.

After a moment of pause, he transmitted his voice to Xiao Feng in a cheap and teasing manner: "Hey, I'm serious, if I had to pick someone from inside to be my brother-in-law, it would definitely be you."

"Oh, why?" Xiao Feng asked with a puzzled expression.

"I'm very good at judging people. Although you're very talkative and have a bad heart, at least you have a conscience."

Xiao Feng...

"When we were kids and got bullied, you would always be the first to come out and help us bully them back, even better than my dad was to me."

Moreover, you never looked down on us when you were younger just because your Mystic Path realm was so high. Unlike that moron from the Ximen Family, who looks decent enough, but acts one way in public and another in private. He walks around with his nose in the air all day, acting like having a higher cultivation is such a big deal.

"Xiao Feng... he was a high-quality youth who received compulsory education. Back then, he wouldn't show off to a bunch of 'kids'."

"Hey, hey, look, look, it's that moron," Qi Panjian said, tugging on Xiao Feng's sleeve. His soul transmission was excited as he gestured for Xiao Feng to look to the left.

Xiao Feng turned his head and saw exactly who Qi Panjian was pointing at. That person was also looking at him...

This person was wearing a gold-threaded white patterned shirt and holding a fan in his hand. He had delicate features and looked like a refined young master.

"His name is Ximen Qing. He's the eldest son of the Ximen Family head. He's already at God Spirit Realm level 6, and he's 18 years old, just like you. He went through a fourfold lightning tribulation back then! He's the one the Ximen Family wants to marry my sister!" Qi Panjian informed him through soul transmission.

Seeing that Xiao Feng had also looked over, he wasn't embarrassed. He gave Xiao Feng and the others a slight smile, then turned his head to look at the city gate.

"Tch! What a disgusting smile. What a moron, now he's acting all decent..." Qi Panjian's disdainful soul transmission came to Xiao Feng once again.

Xiao Feng...

However, Xiao Feng was also wary. To be resented this much by Qi Panjian, this person was "not simple."

"Look! Look! Qi Qingyun is here!" The people in front of the city gate were the first to notice Qi Qingyun's arrival, and soon the news spread like wildfire throughout the entire city.

Where? Where is she!

There! There! Look, so beautiful...

Hiss! Her... her cultivation... is already Peak God King Realm, only one step away from God Lord! A God King Realm expert exclaimed in shock.

"What did you say?"

"Really? She's only 18 years old!"

As more and more people clearly stated that the Mystic Path aura released by Qi Qingyun at this moment was God King level 10, everyone believed this terrifying fact. An 18-year-old God King... what a terrifying Mystic Path talent.

"Even in the God Kingdoms ruled by True Gods, she must be a top genius!"

But Xiao Feng was deaf to all of this, only silently watching the white-clothed woman who was slowly approaching. After not seeing her for several years, she had become more mature, and grown up...

"..."

Qi Qingyun walked slowly, dressed in white. Her black hair cascaded down her fragrant shoulders like a waterfall. Her features were exquisite, but they revealed a chilling coldness, like an otherworldly celestial maiden from the Moonfrost Palace, untouched by the world. Her slender figure accentuated the fullness of her chest.

Her starry eyes swept across the crowd, finally settling on Xiao Feng's location.

They looked at each other.

At this moment, time seemed to stop, and even the noise of the world seemed to have disappeared. There was nothing impure in each other's eyes, like flowing water, reflecting each other...

If only life could be like the first time we met
