She looked terrible, as if she hadn't slept for days.
"Regarding your father's matter, Miss Annie, please don't be too anxious. Get some rest tonight, and we'll set off again tomorrow morning."
Su Feng kindly reminded him.
But Annie shook her head excitedly, "How can I sleep? Dad is my only family. If anything happens to him... I, I..."
As she spoke, she covered her face and began to cry.
Jiang Dalong shrugged and spread his hands, expressing his helplessness, as if to say that this had been the case all along, and no matter what he said, the other person wouldn't listen.
"Health is the most important thing. In Annie's condition, I'm afraid she won't make it to Deer Flower Town. Listen to me, go get a good night's sleep and replenish your strength."
Su Feng was not heartless; on the contrary, he was simply stating a fact.
The town of Luhua we are going to is nearly 2,000 kilometers away, which is twice the distance of Jiuquan town.
If one were to travel by horse-drawn carriage alone, it would take at least seven days.
Given Annie's current condition, the journey has been too arduous for her to handle.
Of course, she probably wouldn't agree to be abandoned halfway.
Sure enough, after Su Feng's words, Annie nodded gently, wiped away her tears, nodded in acknowledgment, and then went back upstairs.
After everyone left, Jiang Dalong put his hands on his hips and sighed heavily.
"Sigh, this girl has really suffered... I have a history with Lao Wang. When he took over Jiuquan Town, he helped a lot with management."
If it's just a regular appraisal, including travel time, it should take at most half a month.
But now almost three weeks have passed, and in that time, even walking would have taken them.
Therefore, he understood Annie's feelings and emotions...
“I also have a family and children... I don’t believe a father would be willing to leave his children at home for so long, so Old Wang is probably in grave danger.”
Jiang Dalong put on a sorrowful expression and sighed.
Su Feng simply listened quietly to his murmurs beside him.
After nightfall, Su Feng and Jiang Dalong discussed meeting at the entrance of Renjia Town the next day.
"Then, I'll wait for Young Master Su here with Miss Annie tomorrow."
"Okay, that's all for now," Su Feng nodded, then took his leave.
This trip may take a lot of time and may encounter some trouble.
So Su Feng planned to go back and pack up, and prepare in advance.
Perhaps this is also a good opportunity for Ren to demonstrate his abilities...

Chapter 173 A Dog Relying on Its Master's Power! Su Feng: Go ahead and try firing!
"Is the young master going on another long trip?"
Back in the banana grove, when they told Chen Yue and Chen Xing about it, their first reaction was exactly as expected.
Su Feng had already guessed it.
"And they don't even plan to take us with them..." Chen Xing pouted, her face full of reluctance.
Fortunately, Chen Yue was understanding and gently patted Chen Xing's shoulder, "Young Master has something to do, so please don't be temperamental, little sister."
"But... I just want to be with you, young master."
"Alright, alright." Su Feng was both amused and exasperated by the two sisters' back-and-forth banter, and said, "You two should just stay home and not forget the task I gave you the other day."
Su Feng had already handed over the list obtained after the previous analysis to Chen Yue.
It has to be said, this girl is indeed very talented in alchemy!
Although the outcome was a failure, the general direction was correct!
If we keep putting in the effort, it won't be long before we can refine new pills of even better quality!
This was also the result Su Feng had hoped for.
"Yes, I will definitely not let you down, young master."
Chen Yue pursed her lips and nodded firmly.
Although her eyes also showed reluctance, she would not whine and act coquettishly like her younger sister Chenxing.
Rather, it's because she was too gentle and understanding that she didn't want to cause Su Feng any trouble.
"Okay, then you all should get some rest. I'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning."
After giving a few final instructions, Su Feng got up and left the two sisters' room.
"Young master, please wait a moment."
Not long after they came out, they heard Chen Yue calling from behind.
"What's wrong?"
Su Feng turned around and saw Chen Yue slowly approaching with a coy expression.
She cautiously extended her hand, and in her fair palm, there seemed to be something...
"This is a talisman that my sister and I made together. Although we are not as skillful as you, young master, we hope you can keep it and that it will protect you on your journey."
Su Feng gently took the amulet and examined it in his hand.
It was just a simple talisman, and one could vaguely sense the spiritual energy that Chen Yue and Chen Xing had put into it. A red string was tied around the edge.
Although its effects were not as strong as the talismans he made, it was still exquisite and showed that a lot of effort had been put into it.
For some reason, Su Feng suddenly felt a little moved.
He has always been thinking of those around him, and all the talismans he makes are meant to protect them.
I never imagined that one day I would receive such kindness and concern from them.
"Silly girl, I'll take good care of it." Holding the small amulet in his palm, Su Feng patted Chen Yue's head. "I've received your kindness."
"Mmm." Chen Yue bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to shed tears.
But after feeling that familiar warmth above her head, she couldn't hold back anymore, and clear tears slid down her cheeks.
"It's not like I'm not coming back, why are you crying?"
Looking at the petite and adorable girl in front of him, Su Feng was somewhat moved. He reached out and wiped away the tears on Chen Yue's face, saying, "Be a good girl and wait for me at home."
"I understand, Master."
Chen Yue closed her eyes and whispered.
She just wished this moment of warmth could last a little longer, much longer.
……
As before, Su Feng placed the remade, wider and longer corpse-suppressing coffin into the Qiankun bag.
Although Ren Jiang has now broken through to become a silver-armored corpse, almost like a normal person, his aura is still impossible to conceal.
If we encounter other cultivators along the way, it might cause trouble.
Therefore, it is temporarily sealed in the corpse-suppressing coffin, and can be taken out when needed, which is convenient.
After everything was packed up, it was almost dawn. As agreed, Jiang Dalong and the others should be waiting at the town entrance by now.
"Then I'll leave this place to you while I'm away."
Before leaving, Su Feng gave Zhao Wuxie some special instructions.
When he was away, Zhao Wuxie was a major fighting force in the Banana Grove.
If anyone dares to cause trouble at this time, Zhao Wuxie can step in to deal with them.
Of course, there's also King Kong.
"Squeak!"
Jin Gang squatted to one side reluctantly, pouting and with teary eyes.
It seemed to be complaining about why it wasn't included again this time.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
The Qiankun Bag cannot hold living creatures, and if King Kong were to follow along, its size and appearance would likely frighten many passersby.
"Young Master Su, please take care on your journey."
Watched by Zhao Wuxie and the others, Su Feng headed towards Renjia Town, bathed in the last rays of the early morning light.
……
According to the route, this trip will pass through Shuilian Town, which I haven't visited in a long time, and then head north.
To be honest, this long journey could probably be completed in less than half a day using paper cranes.
But there was no other way. After all, Jiang Dalong was a warlord, and he always had to be followed by a dozen or twenty soldiers when he went out, otherwise he could not show his warlord prestige.
Therefore, this large and imposing procession continued its journey through the deep forest after leaving Renjia Town.
Su Feng, Annie, and Jiang Dalong shared a carriage. After a night's rest, Annie looked noticeably better.
But a lingering sorrow remained on his face.
"Young Master Su...may I ask you a question?"
The silence was broken by a single sentence from Anne.
Su Feng turned his gaze away from the window. "Please speak, Miss Annie."
"What exactly is the relationship between Young Master Su and the Commander-in-Chief?"
Annie looked over with a curious expression.
