Chapter 573: The Separation

Early in the morning, a gentle but cold breeze was blowing.

In front of the small hut, Lin Pheng was sitting on a rocking chair which emitted squeaking sounds. He was enjoying the peace and tranquility of the early morning with his eyes closed.

"In love with life, the young hero is determined."

"As a young, Man, deteerrmiined to reach the, Clouuds, Determined to fly above the mountains and rivers of the Nine Clouds!"

"Everybody's heart is filled with sorrow and grievance, The young man is gone, only alcohol can make you forget, Forget the past. ."

In the distance, a voice was resonating in the air. Lin Pheng opened his eyes and gazed into the distance, it was misty in the mountains but Lin Pheng could see the old man with his basket on his back. He was slowly walking towards the hut. Everyday, at night, the old man would go away and pick up herbs until early in the morning. He was going then because the fragrance of the herbs was much more intense at night.

"Everybody's heart is filled with sorrow and grievance, The young man is gone, only alcohol can make you forget, Forget the past. ." whispered Lin Pheng. He looked at the old man and smiled at him.

"You woke up." said the old man, while nodding at Lin Pheng.

"Good morning, grandpa." said Xiao Ya, while coming out of the hut on Lin Pheng's left side.

"Bro, good morning." said Xiao Ya, when she saw Lin Pheng on the rocking chair, she had a sweet smile on her face.

After Lin Pheng saw her smile, he felt delighted and smiled back in the same resplendent way.

Xiao Ya went to wash her face and then came back to Lin Pheng. Then she said, "Bro, let's go for a walk together."

"Alright." agreed Lin Pheng, nodding. Xiao Ya went behind him and started pushing the chair, it had wheels under it. Actually, it was the chair her grandfather used to knit in.

Because Lin Pheng had taken very powerful medicine, his body was half-paralyzed at that moment.

Xiao Ya was pushing the chair towards the mountains. Lin Pheng closed his eyes and enjoyed the freshness and fragrance of the atmosphere, he felt like he was intoxicated with happiness.

The old man put his basket down and looked at them from a distance. He smiled and shook his head, Xiao Ya wasn't feeling lonely anymore.

The old man had a strange facial expression at that moment, he looked pensive.

"Bro, how do you feel right now?" asked Xiao Ya, while pushing the chair.

"I feel much better." answered Lin Pheng. He was still taking the old man's medicine and could feel that he was recovering quickly. He almost felt better than before the event with the evil swords. Lin Pheng had the feeling that he could sense his hair and pores much better than before, especially when the wind was brushing away on his skin, it felt very pleasant.

Lin Pheng was impatient to recover, it would've been great to be entirely healthy again.

"Hehehe, grandpa is a great doctor who will cure all your injuries. You just need to rest and you will be perfectly healthy soon enough." said Xiao Ya, smiling. Alchemists used pills which had immediate results but doctors' remedies were different, they required time, especially the remedies the old man had given to him. Their effects required a long time. Lin Pheng couldn't stand up each time he took those remedies. Actually, the doctor could have allowed Lin Pheng stand up but he had chosen to let him recover slowly.

"Xiao Ya, what is your grandfather's name?" asked Lin Pheng suddenly. The old man had saved Lin Pheng's life but Lin Pheng still didn't know his name.

"Wu Tian, Xiao Wu Tian." replied Xiao Ya in a soft and tender way. She had a lot of respect for her grandfather, he was the person she respected the most.

"Xiao Wu Tian." whispered Lin Pheng, "what an incredible name!" (
