Chapter 549: Giving Up
Feng Yaoshi clearly knew that many people knew about his residence, but he had always been unwilling to move to another place to live, so Yang Haoran guessed that there might be other secrets in this valley.
However, Feng Xiao's response made him a little puzzled. If this valley really had some secret, Feng Xiao had been living with her master for all these years, and it was impossible that she had not discovered anything unusual. Even if Feng Yaoshi did not say anything, in these fifteen years, she would have discovered some abnormalities.
Was Feng Yaoshi hiding it too deep? Or was Feng Xiao too simple-minded? Or was there no secret at all here?
Yang Haoran did not dare to be sure, anyway, Feng Xiao was still resting, so he simply continued to ask, "Have you found anything strange about this valley in the past fifteen years?"
"Strange things?" Feng Xiao thought carefully, then shook her head and said, "Our valley is very ordinary, there is nothing special or strange."
"Then does your master have a place he particularly likes to go?" Yang Haoran asked calmly.
"No, my master spends most of his time tending to the medicinal garden. We often go up the mountain to collect herbs, but my master always takes me with him so that I can learn."
After speaking, Feng Xiao's face showed a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong, big brother? Is there something wrong?"
Yang Haoran smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I'm just a little puzzled why your master doesn't want to move. Judging from what you've said, it seems that your master has feelings for this place and doesn't want to leave the valley."
Speaking of age, Yang Haoran is now in his thirties, but because his physical body was transformed when he became a Burial Master, he still looks like he's in his thirties.
"Okay, Brother Yang, I'll call you Brother Yang from now on. I've rested enough, but before I leave, I need to pay my respects to my master one more time."
"Go ahead, you should do that," Yang Haoran agreed without objection.
Feng Xiao stood up and walked towards Feng Yaoshi's grave, then knelt down and whispered something.
Yang Haoran did not deliberately eavesdrop, so he did not know what Feng Xiao was saying, but he guessed that Feng Xiao was probably saying goodbye or something like that.
During this time, Yang Haoran was not idle either. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed everything in this place, especially the medicinal garden, trying to see if he could find anything.
He always felt that Feng Yaoshi would stay in the valley and it shouldn't be as simple as it appeared on the surface. The words he just said to Feng Xiao were just to prevent Feng Xiao from overthinking, not his true thoughts. Now that he had time, he was going to confirm it again.
However, until Feng Xiao finished her farewell and came towards him, he had not sensed anything useful.
Helplessly, he opened his eyes and withdrew his sensing power.
"Could it be that I overthought it? Feng Yaoshi's reason for staying here and not wanting to leave is really just because he has feelings for this place?"
Yang Haoran thought so in his heart, and then simply stopped caring about this matter.
Although he really wanted to figure out if there were any other secrets hidden here, so far he had not found anything. He couldn't possibly turn the whole valley upside down, right?
Leaving Feng Yaoshi aside, he still needs to get along with Feng Xiao in the future. Feng Xiao has lived here for fifteen years, so she must be full of feelings for everything here. If he turned this place upside down because of his uncertainty, how would Feng Xiao think?
Of course, he could find an excuse to deceive Feng Xiao, and with Feng Xiao's innocence, she would surely be fooled, but he didn't want to deceive Feng Xiao, after all, Feng Xiao is now one of his own people.
Whether Feng Yaoshi stayed here because of his feelings for this place or because of other secrets, Yang Haoran no longer wanted to find out.
It's not that he can't figure it out, but because he needs to consider Feng Xiao's feelings, so he doesn't want to find out.
Moreover, given Feng Yaoshi's eccentric personality, who knows what reason he chose to stay here. This соpy соmеs frоm соntеnt оn М|V|L0ЕМРYR.
Seeing Feng Xiao come back with a sad face and tears still on her face, Yang Haoran stood up.
"In the future, you can come back to visit your master anytime," Yang Haoran said.
"Really?" Feng Xiao asked.
"Of course it's true, I won't joke about this. Let's leave now, if we delay any longer, I'm afraid it will affect the various herbs in the independent space."
Mentioning the herbs in the independent space, Feng Xiao's expression changed slightly. The herbs are living things, and if they stay in the independent space for a long time, it will have a great impact on them, and they may even wither and die.
These herbs are not only precious, but also the result of her master's hard work. If they were to be damaged in the independent space, she would definitely regret it, so she quickly nodded to Yang Haoran.
With the decision made, neither of them delayed, and they walked towards the barrier's shimmering light. But during the process, Feng Xiao kept looking back, her face full of sadness and reluctance.
Arriving at the edge of the barrier, Feng Xiao opened it, and the two of them walked out of the shimmering light one after the other.
Outside the barrier, the fire was still burning, but the intensity was much weaker than before.
Seeing the billowing smoke in the valley, where everything that was once familiar had turned into a sea of fire, Feng Xiao could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.
Yang Haoran saw all this, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to consume his Yin spirit power to forcibly extinguish the fire.
Before entering the barrier, he had only used some methods to isolate the fire to save his Yin spirit power, but now seeing Feng Xiao so heartbroken, he understood her feelings, so he decided to use his Yin spirit power to extinguish the fire.
Yang Haoran is not a kind person. If it weren't for Feng Xiao, he would never have made such a decision. In his eyes, isolating the fire before was already going the extra mile.
"Wait here for me, let me see if I can put out this fire," Yang Haoran said humbly.
Hearing this, Feng Xiao's expression brightened, and she quickly thanked Yang Haoran, "Thank you, Brother Yang!"
"It's nothing, we're all family now, helping and caring for each other is what we should do," Yang Haoran replied.
With that, Yang Haoran rose into the air, facing the heat waves. He immediately mobilized the Yin spirit power within his body.
Suddenly, a fierce yin wind swept through the valley, causing the temperature to plummet sharply, as if it had fallen into an icy cellar.
The raging flames, upon encountering this yin wind, did not become more violent, but instead were extinguished at a visible speed, as if they had been doused with ice water.
This icy, bone-chilling yin wind only lasted for less than a minute, but in that short time, the fire in the valley was completely extinguished, not a single flame remained.
Yang Haoran's body descended, returning to Feng Xiao's side. At this point, Feng Xiao was shivering all over, the yin wind that had just appeared had given her a kind of indescribable coldness, as if her spirit soul had been frozen.
Yang Haoran saw Feng Xiao's condition, and he knew what was going on. He gently waved his hand, and the coldness on Feng Xiao's body immediately disappeared.
"Thank you, Brother Yang!" Feng Xiao quickly thanked him, and Yang Haoran just waved his hand, indicating that Feng Xiao didn't need to think too much about it.
Without the burning fire, the barrier light behind them disappeared on its own, and the area covered by the barrier blended seamlessly with the surrounding environment, turning into a scorched land.
"With this formation flag, I believe my master will be safe inside the barrier," Feng Xiao said, looking at the scorched ground behind them, which was indistinguishable from the surrounding environment.
Feng Xiao's naive thinking was somewhat unacceptable to Yang Haoran, but he didn't want to dampen her spirits, so he didn't say anything.
As for this powerful formation flag, it was a pity to leave it here. But in Yang Haoran's eyes, since this formation flag was the only means to protect Feng Xiao's master's remains in Feng Xiao's eyes, he had no intention of taking it.
