Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 59 - 55: Female Knight Wei Hongying, Marries a Monster as Wife
She cultivated the Acupoint Opening Ninth Layer to Perfection, with her overall power reaching a terrifying one thousand one hundred and ten years.
"Getting married means getting married, is there a need to hide? Is there something shameful?" Wei Fan showed a look of confusion.
At these words, Su Xuerong couldn’t help but get a bit exasperated, "You damn guy, that’s called retirement, not hiding."
When Wei Fan first met her, he nearly drove her half to death with anger. The beautiful idea of a Female Knight retiring with her beloved to a life of domesticity was turned into something shameful, it was infuriating.
Wei Fan shook his head, "Retirement is just hiding, isn’t it?"
Ning Xuan nodded, "Wei Fan has a point, why hide for marriage, it must be something shameful."
"You’re driving me mad!"
Su Xuerong, puffed up with anger, walked forward without saying a word.
Soon, they exited Su City, mounted their warhorses, and began galloping.
These warhorses, bred by crossing Horse Demons with other Demon Fiends, indeed possessed speed and endurance incomparable to ordinary horses. Sitting on one, Wei Fan felt like he was in a high-speed vehicle from his past life.
About two hours later, a small town nestled among the mountains appeared before Wei Fan and the others.
They first went to Wangshan Town and found the local Government Office. They showed their Waist Token for the office to look after their warhorses, then found a local Arrest Officer to guide them to White Cloud Village.
Through introductions, this Arrest Officer claimed his surname was Gao, named Gao Peng.
"Recently, there have been no Demon Fiends in town, right?"
On the way, Li Fengyi asked Gao Peng.
She was the vice-captain, at a higher rank than everyone, so this mission was led by her.
Gao Peng responded with a flattering smile, "You’re joking, ma’am. With the Demon Suppression Bureau’s presence intimidating all Demon Fiends, who would dare cause trouble here for fear of being slain?"
Li Fengyi slightly frowned, clearly not satisfied with this outcome.
In their assessment, Demon Suppression Bureau’s Jiang Feng should have been harmed by Demon Fiends, but if a Demon Fiend appeared, it wouldn’t just kill Jiang Feng.
Gao Peng continued, "You are going to White Cloud Village to find Jiang Feng, right?"
"You know Jiang Feng too?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Of course, I even drank with him! In recent years, only Jiang Feng became an official of the Demon Suppression Bureau in Wangshan Town, he’s a man respected by everyone for miles around."
Speaking of drinking with Jiang Feng, Gao Peng looked visibly proud.
"Did you hear of Jiang Feng returning home to visit recently?"
Gao Peng shook his head.
"Captain Gao, do you know a woman named Wei Hongying in White Cloud Village?"
Su Xuerong’s voice suddenly rang out.
Gao Peng shook his head again, "White Cloud Village isn’t under my jurisdiction, I’m not familiar with the people there. If you’re looking for someone, I can inquire for you once we reach White Cloud Village."
The group exchanged glances, wondering if the Female Knight once famed in Su City had really kept such a low profile since retiring, that even the town’s arrest officer was unaware of her.
"Ahead is White Cloud Village!"
After a little more walking, Gao Peng pointed to a village half-shrouded in mist in the distance.
"What a beautiful place, no wonder the Female Knight Wei Hongying chose to retire here!"
Su Xuerong whispered.
White Cloud Village, half-enveloped in mist, appeared like a paradise on earth, with green mountains, clear waters, and roofs lined with greenery, surrounded by mountains blooming with colorful flowers.
As they approached, they saw several children playing on the village path, with a few elderly people chatting under big trees.
Seeing their group, a few elders hurriedly approached, "May I ask what business brings you esteemed guests to White Cloud Village?"
Gao Peng stepped forward, "Elders, we’re going to Jiang Feng’s house in your village. Could you tell us which way it is?"
The elders were all stunned, then shook their heads in unison, "You’re going to Jiang Feng’s house? There’s no one left there."
Li Fengyi frowned, "Elders, what do you mean by that? Where are Jiang Feng’s family members?"
One of the elders replied, "Jiang Feng only had an elderly mother, who passed away a few days ago."
Everyone’s brows furrowed at this news.
"Elders, do you know where Jiang Feng might have gone?"
The elders’ expressions changed, "On the evening of his mother’s burial, Jiang Feng left. You all wear the Demon Suppression Bureau’s uniforms, didn’t Jiang Feng return to the Bureau?"
Li Fengyi took a deep breath, "Did anyone see Jiang Feng leave the village, and has anyone come here to look for him in recent days?"
The elders all shook their heads.
"Could I trouble the elders to take us to Jiang Feng’s house to have a look?"
Li Fengyi rubbed her forehead.
Nobody saw Jiang Feng leave, and the Internal Affairs Camp sent no one here, what on earth is going on?
"I’ll take you there!"
An elder stepped forward and led them.
After walking for a while, a few houses clearly more luxurious than others in the village appeared in Wei Fan and the others’ sight, draped in White Silk.
"Jiang Feng was a dutiful and obedient child. He always wanted to bring his mother to Su City to enjoy life, but his mother refused to go no matter what."
"If she had gone, perhaps she could have lived a few more years. It’s hard to even find a Physician here when sick!"
"Here is Jiang Feng’s house!"
The elder pointed at those better-built houses.
Li Fengyi thanked the elder and went to push the door, only to find it locked.
"Jump in and take a look!"
Jiang Feng’s yard wasn’t very high, making it easy for them to jump over, even Gao Peng could easily get in.
The group spread out to search and found nothing unusual in Jiang Feng’s home, everything neat as if deliberately tidied before leaving, with no signs of a struggle.
