As he walked on the corridor, he was thinking: I won the battle today, but I won by luck.
Wu Hong was struck with a sword by that kid from Shen Fei, but that kid relied on the weird power in Ink Cloud Sword. If you use that power less and less, it may not be there next time.
That Witch Ghost Family and Demi-God took the lead in running away because the secret treasure was broken and they were unsure of continuing the fight. It wasn't that they really couldn't defeat it.
When they were ready again, they came over with the remaining two Demi-God. Glory City's existing combat power simply couldn't stop them.
Moreover, the flaw in the formation has been seen. It will not be easy for them to come in next time. We have to think of some other methods.
The strength gap is too far. Just relying on a large formation and a few Spirit God can't sustain it. We have to find foreign aid, we have to improve the overall strength, we have to...
When he reached the door of the yard, he stopped for a moment and his mind turned to another thing. Ye Ziyun.
Before the fight started today, Ye Ziyun was still helping Inscription Materials in his yard. Later, Ye Zong notified him that Witch Ghost Family had arrived, so he asked Ye Ziyun to go back to the Wind Snow Family's place first and stop running around outside.
When the aftermath was being dealt with just now, he didn't bother to look over and didn't know what was going on with her over there.
He stood at the door of the courtyard and thought for a while, then opened the door and walked in. There was also a map spread out on the stone table in the courtyard that he had not had time to put away before leaving. The wind blew the corners of the paper slightly.
He sat down on the stone bench, picked up the map, rolled it up, and put it into the roll. Then he sat for a while and went over the things he had just thought about in the square.
Witch Ghost Family needs to be dealt with, the formation needs to be modified, Shen Fei and Xiao Ning'er need to recover from their injuries, and the combat power of each family needs to be integrated. Arrange them one by one, do what you can do first, and wait until the conditions are ripe for what you can't do.
Then he thought about proposing marriage. The matter between Ye Ziyun and him should have been settled long ago. He had been putting it off before because Glory City had one thing after another and ignored it.
Shen Fei When I woke up from the bed, the sky outside the window paper was already bright.
He lay there without moving immediately, feeling his physical condition first.
There is still a bandage around the broken left rib bone, and there is a layer of ointment stuck under the bandage. After the medicine penetrates into the skin, it brings a warm numbing feeling. When he moves, he can feel that the broken end of the bone is fixed by something, so that it will not poke him and gasp like before.
The burns on the left arm and left torso were also treated with medicine again. The exposed skin after the blisters burst was covered with a layer of oily medicine, and it no longer itch or hurt much.
He tried to take a deep breath. There was no sharp sting in his chest like broken glass, only a dull soreness, which was within the tolerable range.
He sat up holding the edge of the bed, moving very slowly. The Spiritual Power in Meridians was still flowing, and the empty feeling in Dantian was better than yesterday, but it was still far from full.
He estimated that Soul Force had recovered about 30 to 40%, and there was no damage to the Meridians wall, but Spiritual Power had insufficient reserves. This recovery speed was faster than he expected, and both Body Tempering Pill and the Elixir prescribed by the medical officer should have had an effect.
He put on his coat and tied his belt, walked to the basin and poured some cold water to wash his face. When the cold water was splashed on his face, the remaining drowsiness completely disappeared.
He opened the door and walked out. The sunshine in the yard shone warmly on Bluestone Slab. Old Steward stood under the steps, holding a tray in his hand, and on the tray was a bowl of steaming medicinal soup.
Seeing him coming out, old Steward bowed slightly.
"Master, you're awake. You've been in a coma for a day." Old Steward put the tray on the stone table next to him and continued, " Master Nie Li sent someone to send a message yesterday, asking you to go to the City Lord's Mansion after you wake up. He has something to see you."
Shen Fei nodded and went over what old Steward said in his mind. Being in a coma for a day was better than he thought.
He remembered that when he fell down yesterday, several of his left ribs were broken. His right arm and left torso were burned over a large area, and Soul Force was completely consumed.
According to his experience, this kind of injury requires at least two or three days of lying down, and he can stand up and walk in one day. This is the result of the blessings of Body Tempering Pill and the medical officer.
"Second Elder, do you have anything to say over there?" Shen Fei asked.
"Second Elder came to see you yesterday and saw that you were unconscious so he didn't stay long. He paid close attention to the affairs of the clan. The caravan has stopped following your instructions. All shops are operating normally without any trouble." Old Man
Steward paused for a moment, "Second Elder also sent a batch of Elixir to the Winged Dragon Family, saying it was for Miss Xiao to recover from his injuries."
After Shen Fei listened, he knew what he was doing. Second Elder was really thoughtful in his work. Winged Dragon Family hadn't taken care of the arrangements yet, but Second Elder had already done it for him.
This batch of Elixir went to the Sacred Family's account, which is justifiable in name, and Xiao Ning'er's father won't have any psychological burden if he takes it.
At this moment, there was a burst of noise from the street outside the mansion. The sound of gongs and drums, footsteps, and the rumble of wheels running over the stone road were mixed together, coming from the direction of the gate.
Shen Fei glanced in the direction of the sound and walked towards the gate of the mansion. Old Steward followed half a step behind him, walking a little faster than usual.
When Shen Fei walked to the door, he happened to see a team passing by on the street in front of the Sacred Family's main entrance.
The team pulled out for nearly half a mile. At the front were two young men riding tall horses, wearing Heavenly Marks Family standard brocade robes, with red silk hanging around their waists, and red tassels tied around the horses' necks.
The horse team was followed by a row of carts. On the carts were stacked large and small wooden boxes and bamboo cages. The boxes were wrapped with red cloth. The cages contained live chickens, ducks, geese, fish, and several cages of fresh fruits.
Behind them are strong men carrying burdens, with pots and jars tied with red ropes hung on both ends of the poles. The aroma of wine and pickled meats drifts along the wind and can be smelled from a distance.
At the end of the team was a group of half-year-old children who were watching the fun, chasing after each other laughing and joking.
Shen Fei stood on the steps and watched the team passing by, his eyes scanning the cart.
Wood, cloth, grain, live poultry, wine jars, and dry goods are all things that are needed for daily living. The betrothal gift of this size is considered generous in Glory City, but it is not extravagant and looks real.
He turned his head and looked at the old Steward next to him, and asked, "What is this?"
Old Steward immediately explained, "This is Heavenly Marks Family's team. The leader is Nie Yu, the direct descendant of the Heavenly Marks Family. The carts behind are filled with betrothal gifts. Mr. Nie Li called Heavenly Marks Family to come forward and propose marriage to the City Lord's Mansion on his behalf."
