"Are you thinking about these things?" Feng Jiu looked back at him with a raised eyebrow.


    "No, no, no, I wouldn''t dare." The middle-aged man quickly waved his uninjured hand. "Actually, I wanted to ask, are both of you loose cultivators? Can you tell me where you''re going? If we''re headed the same way, could you perhaps escort us home?"


    The middle-aged man looked solemnly at his remaining people. "I''m worried we''ll run into more ambushes on the way back. Now that we are wounded, lost some of our people, and there are children and the elderly among us, it is really…"


    Feng Jiu had already collected valuables from the dead bodies while he was speaking. She didn''t put them in her space, instead storing them in a cosmos sack from one of the dead people''s bodies.As she strolled back to Xuanyuan Mo Ze''s side, she nonchntly tossed the sack up and down in the air.


    The middle-aged man quickly added, "Once we return home, we will definitely reward you both generously."


    Xuanyuan Mo Ze kept silent, looking to Feng Jiu to make the decision.


    Feng Jiu thought for a moment and then asked, "How far do we still have to go? We won''t go if it''s too far away."


    "Not far, not far at all, just about a day''s journey," said the middle-aged man. "My manor is located in one of thergest cities in the area, so you two may want to visit there."


    Feng Jiu turned to Xuanyuan Mo Ze and asked, "What do you think?"


    "Yes, " Xuanyuan Mo Ze agreed with a nod.


    When Feng Jiu saw this, she smiled at the middle-aged man and said, "All right then! We''ll escort you for a portion of the journey."


    "Thank you, two kind benefactors." The woman brought the children to say thanks, then went aside to treat her wounds.


    Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze waited for everyone to finish bandaging their wounds while they sat off to the side. Then they ordered the guards to throw the corpses down the slope and repair the carriages that could still be used.


    While the guards were fixing the carriages, the middle-aged man came over to Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze. During their casual talk, he told Feng Jiu his name and his n and also exined why he was ambushed this time.


    "Our entire family would have perished if we hadn''t met you both. You both are the benefactors who have saved our lives."


    Feng Jiu, supporting her cheek in her hand, nced at one of the carriages and casually asked, "So, the elderly man in that carriage is your father, and you''re taking him to seek medical treatment?"


    "Yes, that is why we travelled so far and brought the children with us this time. The journey has not been easy, and my father''s condition has not improved," the man sighed. "The renowned physician we consulted had no solution, so our only remaining option is to seek out Ghost Doctor."


    Feng Jiu raised an eyebrow when she heard this, "Ghost Doctor?" Did the people here know about her, too?


    The man exined after noticing the woman in azure raised her eyebrow as if surprised. "You may not be aware, but Ghost Doctor isn''t from the Skylink Continent. I heard she originally came from a small country in the Mortal Realm and rose to renown in the Upper Realm. Her medical skills are unparalleled. If she''s willing to treat someone, she can even bring them back even if they''re at death''s door."


    Feng Jiu couldn''t help but chuckle when she heard this. She turned to Xuanyuan Mo Ze and remarked with a smile, "Husband, this Ghost Doctor sounds very powerful."
