Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Gao Feng’s Aunt

Green Field County!

"Having heard many times that Green Field County is a beautiful place, Feng’er, now that we are here, shall we go and see what it is like?" Jing Yan proposed to Gao Feng.

At this moment, Jing Yan and Gao Feng were flying above the skies of Green Field County.

Green Field County is also known as Forest City on the Heavenly Origin Continent.

This county has a distinctive feature, as it is completely covered by countless towering trees.

Green Field County is also an ancient city with a massive scale and an astonishing number of Martial Artists. In terms of prosperity, it could compare to Flowing Light City, which was once controlled by the Gai Family and destroyed by Jing Yan.

"Feng’er, what’s wrong?" Jing Yan noticed Gao Feng’s expression seemed odd and asked in surprise.

All along their journey, Gao Feng had been very happy, but now, Jing Yan felt she seemed troubled.

"My husband!"

"Gao Zhan and I originally came from Green Field County," said Gao Feng as she looked at Jing Yan.

"Oh?" Jing Yan was momentarily stunned.

Until now, Gao Feng had never mentioned Green Field County to Jing Yan. Jing Yan had asked Gao Feng about her family before, but Gao Feng only mentioned that her parents were deceased and did not elaborate further.

"My aunt still lives in Green Field County. When my brother and I were very young, our parents passed away, and it was our aunt who raised us," Gao Feng continued.

"Then we should visit your aunt," Jing Yan suggested.

"Yes, we should visit her. Since my brother and I left Green Field County in our teens, we have never returned. I wonder how she is doing now," Gao Feng nodded gently.

The two headed towards Green Field County.

On the way, Gao Feng shared in detail about her aunt’s situation.

Gao Feng’s uncle, Yan Zhuang, is a notable commerce guild leader in the city.

Gao Feng’s uncle and aunt had always taken good care of her and her brother, enabling them to embark on the path of cultivation.

However, some of their cousins, or the children of Gao Feng’s aunt, treated them with exclusion, believing that Gao Feng and her brother consumed too many resources.

Thus, Gao Feng and her brother often faced disdain within the Yan Family.

Being dependent, they had no choice but to lower their heads.

After all, some exclusion was not a big deal, and they could endure it.

But when Gao Feng reached marriageable age, her aunt arranged a marriage for her with a major family within the city. Gao Feng’s aunt believed that the marriage would benefit not only Gao Feng but also the Yan Family. By connecting with that major family, the Yan Family’s status in Green Field County would naturally rise.

However, Gao Feng didn’t want to marry into that family, so eventually, she quietly left Green Field County with her brother and never returned. Over the years, they wandered outside, never revisiting Green Field County.

Having heard all this, Jing Yan fully understood why Gao Feng’s expression became unnatural whenever Green Field County was mentioned.

Gao Feng was unsure how to face her aunt.

But since her aunt had taken care of them, they should visit her. Moreover, they were now within the territory of Green Field County.

An hour later, the two arrived outside Green Field County.

"It lives up to its reputation!" Jing Yan admired the entirely green city ahead.

The towering trees reached into the clouds; from the outside, it was hard to see the buildings inside. No wonder Martial Artists from across the Continent held Green Field County in such high regard.

After entering the city, Jing Yan couldn’t help but exclaim again.

To be fair, Green Field County might be the most beautiful city across the entire Heavenly Origin Continent.

The two headed towards the Yan Family Mansion.

At that moment, some city guards were nervously grouping together at the city gate.

"Captain, look, they’re exactly the same!" a guard holding a portrait said to the Guard Captain.

"Mm, indeed the same, it’s very likely to be Lord Jing Yan," the captain nodded. "Continue guarding the city gate while I go to the Prince Manor to report this matter!"

"Yes!" the guards responded.

The captain quickly left towards the Prince Manor.

Green Field County was not like the smaller Guangying County. Here, within the Prince Manor, there were statues of the Ten Hall Masters.

Each guard team at the Prince Manor had portraits of the Hall Masters. Any guard who saw one of the Ten Hall Masters could recognize them immediately and report to the Prince at the first opportunity.

Inside the Prince Manor!

"What did you say?"

"Lord Hall Master Jing Yan is suspected to be in Green Field County?" the Prince of Green Field County, upon hearing the Guard Captain’s report, was momentarily taken aback, showing a surprised expression.

"Responding to Lord Prince, compared to the portrait, there seems to be no difference. I believe that to an 80% certainty, it is Lord Jing Yan," the guard said, holding his breath.

"Where is this Lord Jing Yan now?" the Prince quickly asked.

"Lord Prince, because we suspected that the person might be Lord Jing Yan, we did not dare to follow him. Currently, we also..." the guard hesitated, lowering his head.

"Mm, you did the right thing. If this person truly is Lord Jing Yan, following him would surely have been noticed. Worse, it might have angered him. However, go now and find out where Lord Jing Yan is. As soon as you have information, report back to me immediately," the Prince instructed the guard.

If this Martial Artist, suspected to be Hall Master Jing Yan, was truly him, then as the Prince, he must go and welcome him.

That was Hall Master Jing Yan!

Though Hall Master Jing Yan was only one of the Tenth Hall Masters of the Holy Hall, his actual power surpassed any other Hall Master. The strength of the Glory Alliance, powerful enough to have annihilated the Gai Family, was formidable.

The guard went to execute the order.

...

"My husband, this is the Yan Family!" Standing in front of a small mansion, Gao Feng whispered to Jing Yan.

The residence wasn’t large.

The Yan Family was small in terms of population; counting the head of the family, staff, and guards, they had fewer than two hundred people.

Gao Feng’s uncle, Yan Zhuang, was a very business-savvy person, having built the Green Field Commerce from scratch, demonstrating remarkable business acumen.

"Let’s go inside!" Jing Yan smiled, "Feng’er, relax. If your aunt does not welcome us, then we will just leave. Nowadays, you no longer need their resources for your cultivation."

"Yes, I understand." Gao Feng nodded, her smile returning to her face.
