The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 564 Preparing to Depart

Ling Feng quickly nodded and assured, "Brother, please rest assured, I know what’s at stake, and I certainly won’t act recklessly!"

"That’s good, wait for my notice then!"

Lu Zihao nodded.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Ling Feng seemed a bit restless, as if he couldn’t sit still, fidgeting on his chair.

Seeing this, Lu Zihao couldn’t help but laugh, "You, you are still too impetuous. I’ll give you two days to think about what preparations you need to make."

"I don’t need to prepare anything!" Ling Feng laughed.

"Is that so?"

Lu Zihao looked at him, "This trip could take a few days, or it could take three to five months; the time can’t be predicted. Are you so confident that leaving home, there won’t be any issues here?"

"This..."

Ling Feng was suddenly stunned, now realizing that this was indeed a problem!

Originally, when Li Shiyun left, he still harbored a sliver of hope, thinking that although she was gone, she could teleport back to the Nine Heavens at any time.

But now it seemed that this was not feasible, or else he wouldn’t have been unable to see her for so long!

Therefore, once he entered the Secret Realm she was in, he could only leave when the mission was completed, or if he happened upon the opening of the Secret Realm!

Since there was no regularity to it, should he make some preparations?

With this thought, his restless heart suddenly calmed down, and he looked up at Lu Zihao, "I understand, brother. I’ll make arrangements right away!"

"Good, then I won’t disturb you anymore."

Lu Zihao nodded.

His visit this time was initially intended to be a prolonged stay.

But due to Ling Feng being granted permission to participate in the mission for the Secret Realm, he could only stay in Shiliu Village for at most two days now.

Watching Ling Feng leave, Lu Zihao sighed softly and thought to himself, "With Zhou Yi and now Ling Feng involved, this matter should be resolved swiftly, right?"

"As long as it’s not like what Master said, it would be fine even if it’s delayed for a few more decades!"

"Unfortunately, things don’t always go as one wishes. I can only hope that Ling Feng will be successful!"

...

...

The first person Ling Feng went to find was Li Yun.

After his departure, the family affairs would need someone to manage, and Li Yun was the first person Ling Feng thought of.

After all, with the experience of managing the Luo Family’s businesses, dealing with his own family’s matters would certainly be a mere trifle for her.

Li Yun agreed readily but couldn’t help asking, "Are you going to be away for that long?"

"I can’t say for certain now. I hope to resolve it quickly, but if it takes too long, don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine!" Ling Feng said.

"Well, okay then."

A trace of reluctance flashed in Li Yun’s heart, but she knew the importance of the task at hand and reluctantly nodded.

Ling Feng intended to go find Xun Qianqian and the others to tell everyone about it, but before he turned around, he suddenly recalled something and asked, "By the way, Sister Yun, has there been any movement from Luo Qiang recently?"

"Ah? Why are you asking about him?" Li Yun was taken aback.

"It’s nothing, I just suddenly remembered, if I’m gone for a long time, you’d have to stay in Shiliu Village for a lengthy period, right? What will you do if Luo Qiang misses you?" Ling Feng laughed.

Li Yun came to his senses and smiled, "You don’t have to worry about that; he went abroad to study and has been gone for over two months now!"

"He left when Luo Nanlin was critically ill?" Ling Feng was startled, then asked.

"Yes, it happened to coincide with the beginning of the school term, so he couldn’t take much into consideration!" Li Yun nodded in affirmation.

Ling Feng uttered an "oh" and didn’t ask further, turning to leave.

When he returned to the Fourth Layer Heaven and hurriedly caught up with Xun Qianqian and the others, he was shocked to find that the place where the three girls were had turned into a crab graveyard!

The giant black-shelled crabs, each as big as a millstone and with claws thicker than a person’s thigh, looked exceptionally sharp, glinting coldly in the sunlight!

The foremost crab was a particularly sorry sight, nearly blasted to smithereens by bullets, with hardly an intact spot on it.

The ones behind fared much better, with only one or two bullet holes on their bodies. It seemed that Xun Qianqian had found their weakness; she didn’t damage their bodies but still managed to kill the crabs.

Ling Feng quickened his pace to find the three progressing girls and then had them briefly stop.

"How did we do? Not too shabby, right?" Xun Qianqian asked, fishing for compliments.

"Quite impressive, it seems I really can leave this place in the hands of you three!" Ling Feng nodded with a smile.

Seeing his smile, Joanna curiously asked, "What’s with you? Why did you come back so quickly?"

"Sit down for a minute. I have something I need to tell you," Ling Feng said with a smile.

Noticing his strange expression, the three women exchanged glances and sat down together.

"I plan to leave for a while in a couple of days to look for Shiyun!"

Ling Feng naturally couldn’t reveal the details of the mission, only gave a brief introduction, and then looked at the three women, "So, during the time I’m away, you need to take good care of yourselves!"

They looked at each other with confusion, and Xun Qianqian’s eyes widened, "Why are you talking like you’re giving last orders? It’s not like you’re not coming back!"

Ling Feng: "..."

"Exactly, there’s no need to make it so grim. We believe you’ll be back soon, and then you can bring Shiyun back with you, and we can all be happy again every day!" Miao Lanlan said.

But a trace of worry flickered in Joanna’s eyes. She knew the mission must be anything but simple and that it was surely not easy for Ling Feng to earn the right to participate. She spoke earnestly, "Then you also need to take good care of yourself. Not only do you have to come back safely, but you must also bring Shiyun back safe and sound!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll make sure of it!" Ling Feng solemnly nodded his head.

"And Zhou Yi; you have to ensure her safety as well!" Joanna continued.

Ling Feng was taken aback, then Zhou Yi’s graceful figure came to mind, and he inwardly sighed: How come after not seeing her for some time, I actually miss this woman? However, outwardly he still nodded, "Of course, I promise you that!"

Joanna nodded and stood up, "Aren’t you leaving in a couple of days? That’s perfect. Let’s take this time to head to that big tree and see what sort of tree it is, after all!"

Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "After so much time, aren’t you three tired?"

"It’s weird, after eating that Meat Ganoderma, I don’t feel tired at all, it’s like my body is filled with energy!" Xun Qianqian said.

Miao Lanlan and Joanna felt the same, nodding in agreement.

Ling Feng didn’t feel much different, but it was true that he didn’t feel tired, so he nodded and stood up, "Alright, since it’s not too far, let’s set out!"

"Great!"

The four of them proceeded together, dispatching any blocking crabs along the way, and after advancing for two hours, they finally arrived at the foot of that big tree!
