“Uncle Shi!”

Seeing the imposing middle-aged man entering the back yard, Feng Qing’an, who was playing with the puppy, stood up and called out. Er Pang by his side also stood up quickly, looking quite obedient.

“Dad, you’re back!”

“Qing’an, among this litter of puppies, have you found one you like?”

As a hunter who is ranked among the top in Shili Fengjiagang, he didn’t even look at his son. He squeezed out a stiff smile on his slightly cold face, making himself look a little more amiable.

“Just this one.”

Feng Qing’an indicated the furball in his hand.

“This pup is quite affectionate towards me.”

“Qing’an, you are lucky. As soon as you arrived, you picked out the best in this litter.”

Feng Shi swept a glance at the puppy in Feng Qing’an’s hand, then looked at the few little furballs sucking milk from their mother in the kennel, and laughed.

“Is that so? I must be really lucky then!”

A smile appeared on Feng Qing’an’s face. He wasn’t sure if it was the best puppy or not, but all the compliments were certainly pleasing to hear.

“Uncle Shi, how much for this puppy?”

“What are you talking about? You’ve grown up with my son Er Pang; it’s unnecessary to mention money. If you like this puppy, take it with you when it’s weaned.”

Feng Shi waved his hand heartily.

“Well…”

Feng Qing’an hesitated for a bit. He was aware that these puppies, bred from wolves, constituted a significant source of income for Er Pang’s family.

“Qing’an, if you want to pay for it, just return the puppy. I’m not giving it up!”

“Then I’ll brazenly accept it!”

Feng Qing’an knew it well. They didn’t care about the money from a puppy; what they wanted was the goodwill.

Debts of favor are hard to repay, but if he managed to get a method of cultivation because of this puppy in the future, he would definitely reciprocate when he was able to, especially considering their years of friendship.

It was a handsome, growing teenager with a smooth face that was still juvenile, but no hint of effeminacy was visible. He had a calm and composed demeanor.

“Big Brother!”

Feng Qing’an exclaimed in surprise. The teenager in a light green robe looked at Feng Qing’an and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

“Little Brother An!”

Probably because Feng Qing’an’s voice was so loud, or the noise of the carriage stopping at the gate alerted the people in the yard, and Yin Shi appeared at the gate of the yard. When she saw her eldest son, whom she hadn’t seen for half a year, the corners of her eyes immediately became wet,

“Zhi’er!”

“Mother, I’m back!”

Feng Qingping smiled as usual.

“And who is this?”

Yin Shi looked at the tall and muscular coachman behind her elder son. Even as a rural woman, she could acutely perceive that the coachman who drove for her elder son was extraordinary.

“Madam, I am Young Master Feng’s attendant.”

“Attendant?”

Looking at the coachman who, despite his plain clothes, couldn’t conceal his muscular body, Yin Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then seemingly realized something, becoming more enthusiastic,

“You must have escorted my Zhi’er all the way back here. Please come in. Have you eaten? I’ll go make lunch for you.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Madam. I’m just doing my duty. I won’t trouble you further. Today I have safely delivered the young master. In a few days, when the young master is to go to the Capital City, please let me know. I will come to drive the carriage.”

The coachman answered neatly, denying Yin Shi’s offer, and then jumped onto the carriage without waiting for Yin Shi to respond, and left the gate of Feng Mansion, in spite of the gloomy twilight.

“Hey, it’s already dark. Even if they’re in a hurry, they should stay for the night and leave tomorrow!”

Yin Shi shouted at the departing carriage, a little flustered.

“Mother, they have their own arrangements. Don’t worry about it.”

“What are you talking about? They escorted you all the way back; we should at least invite them in for a meal.”

“Right, I wanted to, but they refused!”

Feng Qingping gave a bitter smile and helped Yin Shi into the yard. Meanwhile, Feng Qing’an stood aside, lost in thought, watching the direction the carriage had left.

As the carriage left the village, the coachman who had seemed to disappear somewhere in the village appeared and followed. More and more knights gathered around the carriage as it proceeded on its return journey. The night wind blew, lifting the robe of the knights, revealing the chilling moonlight reflected by their cold chain armor.
