"Chen Yuanwai?" Qin Feng mused, realizing that this female ghost was likely his doing as well. Was he afraid that Qin Feng would seek revenge if he succeeded in the future? How interesting.
The next morning, as dawn broke, Qin Feng got out of bed, feeling invigorated. Although he was still quite thin, he reached out and grabbed a leg of a stool. With a slight exertion, the leg crumbled into dust.
Qin Feng clapped his hands together, nodding in satisfaction. Not bad; he had regained half of his strength.
He opened the door and stepped outside, glancing at the messy yard and shaking his head. He would have to tidy up before bringing his sister back home. He couldn't help it; he had a compulsion for cleanliness and preferred a comfortable environment.
Exiting the yard, he secured the door and turned towards Chen Yuanwai's residence. Chen Yuanwai was the wealthiest man in Anning County, so his mansion was easy to find.
At this hour, there weren't many people on the street, but food stalls had already set up shop. As Qin Feng walked a few steps, he sensed someone watching him. Frowning, he turned around to see an old man selling steamed buns staring intently at him.
Qin Feng recalled their previous encounters and approached the old man. "Zhang Bo, what are you looking at? I'll take two steamed buns."
The old man paused, scrutinizing Qin Feng with uncertainty. "Y-you're Qin Xiucai?"
Qin Feng smiled and nodded. "That's me. What's wrong? Has Zhang Bo forgotten me?"
The old man looked at Qin Feng with suspicion before suddenly glaring at him. "Hmph! Get lost! I wouldn't sell to you even if I were feeding dogs!"
Qin Feng was taken aback as the old man picked up a rolling pin, glaring fiercely at him. "You're still a Xiu Cai? Pfft! That wonderful girl Wan'er was sold off by you?"
"You’re not afraid your parents will get up and beat you to death?"
Qin Feng paused; this was originally their fault, what did it have to do with him? He quickly replied, "Zhang Bo, don’t be angry. I know I made a mistake. I plan to redeem my sister today. I was completely misled back then."
Zhang Bo raised the rolling pin and froze for a moment. "Really?"
"Of course it’s true, Zhang Bo. I haven’t slept well all night; I regret it."
"Well, as long as you know regret," Zhang Bo said, putting down the rolling pin and hesitating for a moment. "But Chen Yuanwai is not someone to be trifled with. Can you really bring Wan'er back?"
Qin Feng smiled slightly. "Zhang Bo, have you forgotten that I’m a Xiu Cai?"
Zhang Bo was taken aback, looking Qin Feng up and down. He suddenly realized that this young man seemed to have changed a bit. In the past, he was always timid and never spoke to them, but today he was brimming with confidence, almost like a different person.
"Here, today I’ll give you four buns for free. If you don’t bring Wan'er back, don’t even think about eating my buns in the future." Zhang Bo gave Qin Feng a deep look, wrapped four buns and stuffed them into Qin Feng's arms, saying fiercely.
Qin Feng looked at the buns in his arms and smiled. "Zhang Bo, don’t worry. For your buns, I’ll definitely bring my sister back." After saying that, he waved goodbye and turned to leave.
Zhang Bo watched Qin Feng’s retreating figure and shook his head, hoping he truly regretted it; otherwise, how much suffering would Wan'er endure?
Qin Feng’s ears perked up as he heard Zhang Bo’s words. He smiled and picked up one of the buns to eat. Not bad; the taste was quite good—though perhaps it was just because he was hungry.
