Feng Yin scratched his head, somewhat confused like an innocent monk.
The beautiful young woman couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes curving into crescents: “Young Master Feng, didn’t you just save us yesterday? How have you forgotten us so quickly?”
“Saved you?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Yin had an epiphany, full of disbelief, it was all he could think about.
“Are you… Uncle Zhang? Aunt Zhang?”
The man and woman in front of him, beaming, nodded: “Yes, it’s okay if you address us like that.”
A sense of shock swelled up in Feng Yin, his mind in a whirlwind, he had hardly the time to take it all in.
It felt like a pleasant surprise out of nowhere.
How had the frail elderly couple, on the verge of death and ready to enter their coffins, their faces wearing the weight of time, suddenly transformed into… the young people before him?
“Young Master, shall we talk under the tree?”
The old man politely suggested.
“Young Master?”
Feng Yin looked at him blankly: “Are you talking to me?”
The couple smiled warmly.
Scratching his head, Feng Yin confusedly took a seat.
While watching Aunt Zhang prepare tea, her face and figure had reverted to youth, but the habits ingrained during their mundane life remained. The elderly couple kept their old ways.
They moved slowly, always hunched over, and walked unsteadily…
Feng Yin was both surprised and baffled, while the old man and woman were collecting their thoughts.
Finally.
The tea leaves begun to steep in the teacup.
“We are both people of the martial world; he is from the Zhuang family, and I from the Hu family.”
The old woman smiled slightly and said, “When you asked our surname, I said Zhuang, you heard it as Zhang on that day; but this is not important, it’s merely trivial.”
“I see.”
“We were injured and poisoned before; our injuries had damaged our fundamental vitality; besides that, the poison, a deadly one, and not just one.”
“Over these many years, we have been suppressing the toxin with our own cultivation, constantly moving throughout the continent, hoping to find a savior; having to hide our movements and gradually diminishing our cultivation, our savings were dwindling over time; all our life’s savings, went down the drain…”
“Yet, we could not see any hope at all.”
“That small town, it was actually his hometown. Therefore, at our last moments, we decided to go back to the town and quietly wait for our deaths. Little did we know that during that time, we would meet you.”
The woman smiled gently, full of emotion. When she looked into Feng Yin’s eyes, there was warmth.
“We have wandered the martial world for a lifetime, long used to seeing the ups and downs of human relationships.”
“Gentle children like you, are very rare. In this chaotic world, it’s especially precious.”
The old woman’s gaze was gentle as she looked at Feng Yin, saying, “Human interaction is often driven by interests, even more so when there are organizations, gangs, sects, courts, etc.; building relationships with outsiders starts with mutual testing, intertwined with self-interests. True friendship has to weather numerous tests.”
“Those who step up to help others are increasingly rare. Seeing us, two old people, without any sense of aversion, and offering help… In our lives, the only person who has done this, is you, I’m afraid.”
At this point, the old man’s gaze softened even more.
It seemed to recall the moment when they first came to the jianghu town and first saw Feng Yin.
This kind-hearted young man took the initiative to help them solve their basic needs, and even bravely risked exposing his amazing abilities to gift them mysterious elixirs…
In those days, they were nothing but a dying elderly couple, what benefits could they possibly bring him?
Given Feng Yin’s slight cultivation, even if his medical skills were excellent, it was impossible for him to instantly understand that they were cultivators. In other words, Feng Yin truly acted out of kindness without any hidden agenda.
And such care continued for half a year.
The final gift of medicine was only because Feng Yin worried that there would be no one to take care of the old couple after he left. In this way, he hoped to increase their ability to live independently.
Given the efficacy of those two elixirs, even if a common elderly person had severe chronic illness; it could have been immediately cured, and their vitality restored, enough to keep them healthy and active for at least ten years without any issues!
All that followed was simply serendipity.
Such kindness, such righteousness, such a good person.
The old man originally had some discomfort in his heart, but now he was completely reassured.
Such a young man must be cherished and treated well in this corrupt world!
Feng Yin felt somewhat embarrassed and chuckled.
When he first helped the elderly couple, he was simply doing it out of instinct.
After all, the education and concepts he was taught in his previous life allowed him to maintain his kindness, even after coming to a different world.
He did not want the harsh realities of this world to harden the kindness in his heart.
