The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Ye Xiao didn't know how long he had been asleep.

All I saw was that when he woke up, he was lying on a simple bed.

On the table next to him was his servant, Shuanghan.

Shuanghan saw Ye Xiao wake up.

She immediately flew excitedly to Ye Xiao's side.

Then he began to speak human language.

"Master, you're finally awake!"

After Ye Xiao heard Shuang Han speak.

He finally regained consciousness.

"Shuanghan, you can speak now?"

"Yes, Master."

"It's good that you can speak now. It seems your strength has recovered quite a bit."

Ye Xiao struggled to prop himself up and sit up.

He felt very tired and exhausted.

"How long did I sleep?"

"It's been a week."

"So long?"

Upon hearing Shuang Han's words, Ye Xiao's face clearly showed a hint of surprise.

"I can't believe I slept for so long?"

"Where is this?"

He checked his physical condition.

It was discovered that he felt tired not only because he had slept for too long.

There was nothing else unusual.

This finally allowed Ye Xiao to relax.

Frostbite said, "This should be a relatively secluded place in your human world."

"A relatively secluded place?"

Ye Xiao has recovered.

Then he got out of bed and walked towards the door.

He pushed open the door.

He was immediately aware that his location was indeed situated amidst towering mountains.

However, this place also looks very beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming, giving it a feeling of paradise on earth.

"This place is like a paradise on earth."

Hear this.

Suddenly, Shuanghan said, "That's right, Master! That person also said that this place is a paradise on earth!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately became wary.

"That person?"

He caught the details in Shuanghan's words.

"who's that person?"

Shuanghan said, "After Master fell into a coma, someone appeared and saved Master."

"He brought his master to this place."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was even more surprised.

After escaping from the Immortal City.

Who can save him?

Could it be... the principal?

Just then.

Ye Xiao heard a noise coming from outside.

Someone was walking, getting closer and closer to the thatched hut where he was.

Frosty coldness was immediately recognizable.

"Master, the person who saved you is on their way."

At this moment, Ye Xiao felt a little uneasy.

If it really was the principal who saved him.

Ye Xiao had a bellyful of words in his heart, and he wanted to say them all at this moment!

At the end of the rocky path, behind lush trees.

A man came out.

However, this man looked somewhat familiar to Ye Xiao at first glance.

Han Fei!

At this moment, Han Fei walked towards Ye Xiao.

He was carrying a sealed earthenware jar containing freshly brewed medicine.

Han Fei was not wearing the black official robe that Fa Que wore.

He was only wearing an old gray-blue cloth coat.

Sleeves rolled up to the elbows.

A faint old scar was visible on his forearm.

His hair was not tied up and was casually draped over his shoulders.

He looked a few years younger than he did in the main hall of the Fa Que.

It also lost some of its cold and aloof feel.

"Awake?" He placed the earthenware bowl on the low table beside the wooden couch. "Drink from this bowl."

Ye Xiao looked at him and remained silent for a while before speaking.

Did you save me?

Han Fei nodded.

Why?

There's no reason why.

There was a stone table outside the wooden house. Han Fei sat down naturally and calmly looked at Ye Xiao.

The morning light seeped in from behind the ridgeline on the east side, turning the entire valley a pale gold.

A few tits flew through the branches of the old elm tree, bringing down a few withered leaves.

"This medicine was specially brewed for you."

He pointed to the medicine jar on the table.

Ye Xiao sat down and calmly looked Han Fei in the eye.

Without saying a word, he drank all the medicine in the medicine pot.

Although it was bitter, the results were pretty good.

Ye Xiao immediately felt his body regain strength.

At this time.

Han Fei took the initiative and said, "You seem curious and surprised as to why I saved you?"

Ye Xiao nodded.

"You don't look like the person I saw in the main hall of the Dharma Palace."

"Besides, aren't you someone who values ​​fairness?"

"Am I a fugitive? A criminal? Or what is my current identity?"

Han Fei did not answer directly, but glanced elsewhere first.

There was a sunlit meadow and a few old elm trees.

The sound of the wind passing through the tree canopy was like a gentle breath.

The faint sound of a stream could be heard in the distance.

"You are indeed on the wanted list, and I personally issued it."

Han Fei's voice was calm, as if he were talking about something unrelated.

"And then?" Ye Xiao frowned as he stared at Han Fei.

Han Fei said, "After I issued the arrest warrant, I left the Immortal City."

His voice was lower than when he was at the Fa Que, and his tone had lost that aloof and imposing air.

"leave?"

Ye Xiao suddenly realized what had happened.

"What kind of departure?"

"Resign."

Those two simple words immediately widened Ye Xiao's pupils.

He gasped in surprise, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

How long have you been living here?

Ye Xiao asked a question that was unrelated to the main topic.

I was also trying to change the subject to ease his emotions.

"I discovered this valley when I was young while surveying the ley lines. I've kept it unused, storing some food and medicine, and I come back every year to replace it to ensure it's usable."

Han Fei took a sip of tea from the teapot he always carried with him.

"I originally planned to come and stay here when I got old, but I didn't expect to use it ahead of time."

"oh."

The chat was interrupted again, and a silence fell over the conversation.

Do you regret it?

Ye Xiao suddenly asked a question out of the blue.

Han Fei put down the teapot: "What's there to regret?"

"Resigning and leaving Faque. This means you're giving up everything you've done in the Immortal City all these years. Do you regret it?"

Han Fei remained silent for a long time.

His gaze fell on the edge of the stone table.

It's like looking at an old mark that has been repeatedly wiped away by the wind.

It's like searching for something that has been left untouched for a long time.

"Resigning was a well-considered choice."

"I've spent half my life in the legal profession, reviewing case files, auditing secret orders, and handling appeals every day. I've witnessed the worst moments of many people's lives—being framed, being deprived of their rights, being expelled."

"I told myself that as long as I was in that position, I could try to minimize the number of those things that happened."

"But later I found that I was more and more like repairing a dam that was riddled with holes. As I repaired it, it collapsed, and it collapsed faster than I repaired it."

Ye Xiao stared at Han Fei and suddenly realized that the Han Fei in front of him was different from the one he had met in the main hall of the Dharma Palace.
