Early the next morning, Feng Jiu and the others left. The Ouyang Family knew this, but they hesitated. The other party had already made it clear that they didn’t want them to follow them. If they were to continue to follow them, it seemed…
“Come on! Let’s follow them!”
The old man who had his eyes closed opened them and shouted. The shout made his chest hurt. When he thought of being injured by the young man the night before, the fists under his sleeves couldn’t help but tightened.
It was disgraceful to think that he, a dignified Elder of the Ouyang Family whom even the Patriarch had to show him respect, was injured by a boy!
“Elder, this doesn’t seem appropriate.” Patriarch Ouyang frowned slightly: ‘ They have already made their stance clear. If we continue to follow them, it doesn’t seem…”
“You have to know that whether your father is able to advance successfully this time, and whether our Ouyang Family will be able to move up to the next level, depends on whether we can pick the Snowdrop Flower and add it to the medicine when we return!”
The old man looked at Patriarch Ouyang with a stern face and said: “The Snowdrop Flower only flowers once a year. If we miss it this time, then we have to wait till next year. Do you think that we will still have another chance next year if we miss it this time?”
Patriarch Ouyang was silent. He knew that if they missed the opportunity this time, they may not get another chance next time. However, as the head of their family clan, and a person with self-respect, having been spoken to like that, if they were to continue to follow them, wouldn’t he lose all his dignity?
Therefore, he said in a calm voice: “Since we are going to keep going, then let’s wait for a while first! Let’s wait for a while before we keep going.” Having said that, he stopped talking to the old man and went to sit under a tree.
“You!”
When the old man saw this, his face turned red with anger. Upon seeing this, he took a deep breath and stopped talking.
A few days later, Feng Jiu and the others, led by Jin Yifeng and his team, stopped at the foot of the mountain where the Snowdrop Flower grew. Jin Yifeng looked up then said to Feng Jiu and the others: “Look, this is the mountain peak, the Snowdrop Flower grows on the side of that cliff. Because there is a Sacred Level fierce beast next to the Snowdrop Flower, no one has been able to pick the Snowdrop Flower.”
Picking the Snowdrop Flower required carefully digging the roots out. If any of the rootstalks were broken, the medicinal effect would be lost from the rootstalks. Therefore, it was not possible to fly up on the sword and carefully dig it out without the beast noticing.
Feng Jiu looked up at the mountain peak and said: “You can’t see the Snowdrop Flower from here. It looks like we need to get closer or go to the side of the cliff.’
“Originally there was no fog, there might be a problem with the weather recently so there is fog all around and we can’t see clearly. However, the danger is greater going up there in this weather. Madam Xuanyuan, do you want to check the path ahead first or send someone up there to check out the situation first before making plans?” Jin Yifeng suggested.
“Mmm, you can all stay here! Just wait here and we will go up to take a look.” Feng Jiu said, then she glanced at Leng Hua and the others.
“Master, we will go and take a look first! If the Snowdrop Flower is there, we will pick them.” Leng Hua said, worried about her safety.
Feng Jiu shook her head upon hearing this: “No, I have to go up. I don’t want to make a wasted trip. Moreover, I am not comfortable letting any of you dig it up. I have to dig it up myself. Also, it’s best not to let that beast take action in case the Snowdrop Flower accidentally gets destroyed..”
