Chapter 147 Leaving

A young villager accidentally fell and his box rolled to the ground. He quickly got up and said with a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry, Village Chief. I was so careless."

Village Chief Fenghao walked over, helped him up and said, "It's okay, kid, just be careful."

At this time, an elderly villager came over and said to the village chief Fenghao, "Village chief, is it really possible for us to do this? I always feel uneasy."

The village chief Fenghao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, we have no other choice but to take a gamble."

The sun gradually grew hotter, and by noon, it was high in the sky, wantonly wielding its passion. Lin Feng finished his meditation and slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He carefully examined his internal state, his heart filled with excitement. He recalled the cultivation Li Hua had forcefully injected into him, which had once severely damaged his foundation. However, even now, as he absorbed the power of heaven and earth into him bit by bit and refined it with the Xuanling Secret Manual, the damaged foundation was actually repairing itself bit by bit.

"This is really great news!" Lin Feng was ecstatic. He stood up, stretched his muscles, and walked towards Lin Zi's home.

At this time, at Lin Zi's home, Lin Zi and Lu Hai were sitting at the table, discussing something with worried looks on their faces.

"How can I tell Lin Feng this? He has done so much for our village, we can't hurt his feelings." Lin Zi frowned, twisting the corners of her clothes nervously with her hands.

Lu Hai also looked helpless, sighed and said: "But the village chief and the villagers are also concerned about the long-term peace of the village and don't want Lin Feng to fall into danger again."

As the two were talking, Lin Feng had already walked into the house.

As soon as Lin Feng entered, he sensed a strange atmosphere. He looked at Lu Hai and Lin Zi, who looked troubled, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Judging from your expressions, it seems like you have something to hide."

Lu Hai took a deep breath and mustered his courage to speak: "Lin Feng, this is what's going on. The village chief and the villagers have discussed this, and everyone agrees that we can't let you take any more risks for us. So, we've decided to release Big Bear and have him return with the supplies as tribute. This way, you won't have to face those unknown dangers, and the village will be able to have some peace for a while."

Lin Feng, who was originally immersed in the joy of his cultivation recovery, frowned slightly when he heard this. But he soon figured out the reason.

Lin Feng said slowly: "It's okay, this is your decision, I respect your choice. But don't worry, I won't let the village be in any danger."

Lin Zi and Lu Hai looked at each other, their eyes full of guilt.

Lin Feng continued, "Since you've decided to let Big Bear take the supplies back, I think the village should be fine for the time being. I should also go back to take care of my own affairs. When I'm done, I'll come back and completely solve the problems in your village."

Lu Hai hurriedly said, "Lin Feng, I'm so sorry for making you come here for nothing."

Lin Zi also looked reluctant: "Lin Feng, no matter what, you must take care of yourself."

At this time, Lu Bing, who had been playing nearby, heard that Lin Feng was about to leave, and ran over and hugged Lin Feng's legs tightly.

"Brother Lin Feng, don't go, don't go." Lu Bing's voice was tearful and her little face was wrinkled.

Lin Zi hurried over, squatted down and taught Lu Bing: "Lu Bing, be obedient. Brother Lin Feng has important things to do, you can't be so ignorant. And Brother Lin Feng said he would come back."

Lu Bing raised her head and looked at Lin Feng with tears in her eyes. Although she was very reluctant, she nodded sensibly: "Then Brother Lin Feng, you must come back soon."

Lin Feng squatted down, gently wiped the tears from Lu Bing's face, smiled and comforted her: "Lu Bing, be good, brother will definitely come back as soon as possible."

Afterwards, everyone calmed down a little, and Lin Zi got up to prepare the meal.

After a while, a simple but warm meal was placed on the table.

Lin Feng, Lin Zi, Lu Hai and Lu Bing sat together. Although they all had their own thoughts in their minds, at this moment, they still tried to enjoy this moment of tranquility.

"Come on, Lin Feng, eat more." Lin Zi kept picking up food for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Sister Lin Zi."

At the dinner table, no one talked much, but the eyes were full of warmth and concern.

After finishing his meal, tinged with sadness, Lin Feng quietly returned to his room and began packing his belongings. The room was dimly lit, and his simple clothing and belongings lay spread out on the old wooden table. Lin Feng's movements were methodical, carefully folding his clothes and placing them into his bag. Each movement was composed and resolute.

Meanwhile, Lu Hai hurried toward the beach. His forehead was covered in beads of sweat, glistening in the sunlight. The sea breeze blew, ruffling the hems of his clothes. His eyes were focused and anxious, with only one thought in mind: to prepare everything for Lin Feng.

"I don't know how difficult it will be for Brother Lin Feng on this journey. I must make sure that he has as smooth a journey as possible." Lu Hai muttered to himself as he ran.

Arriving at the coast, Lu Hai eagerly scanned the boats. His hands kept stroking the hulls, checking to see if they were sturdy enough to withstand the rough seas. Finally, he selected a boat that looked reasonably sturdy, and then busily began preparing food and water.

He borrowed some dry food and fruit from a nearby fisherman, and carefully placed leather bags filled with water into the boat, each movement filled with concern and worry.

Lin Feng, who was in the room, packed up his things and slowly walked out with his bag on his back. There was a hint of sadness on his face, but his eyes shone with determination.

When he walked into the yard, Lin Zi was standing there holding Lu Bing's hand. Lu Bing's little face was full of reluctance and attachment. He bit his lips tightly, trying hard not to let tears flow down.

"Brother Lin Feng..." Lu Bing's voice trembled slightly.

Lin Feng squatted down, gently touched Lu Bing's head, and said with a smile: "Lu Bing, be good and listen to your mother."

Lu Bing nodded vigorously, her little hands tightly grasping the corner of Lin Feng's clothes.

Lin Zi had tears in her eyes. She looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, you must be careful on this journey."

Lin Feng stood up, looked at Lin Zi and Lu Bing, and said solemnly: "I will, you also have to take good care of yourselves."

At this time, Lu Hai ran back panting.

"Lin Feng, everything is ready." Lu Hai said.

Lin Feng looked at him gratefully: "Brother Lu Hai, thank you for your hard work."

Afterwards, Lin Feng looked at Lin Zi and Lu Bing again, his eyes full of reluctance.

"Sister Lin Zi, Lu Bing, I'm leaving." Lin Feng said.
