“Tell Feng Jiu yourself!” He walked out and prepared to go to the Bamboo Forest to practice his swordsmanship.
When Yang Yong saw this, he had no option but to comply and watched Shadow One follow his Lord out. Gray Wolf was still asleep in the tree, therefore, he remained in the courtyard to wait for Feng Jiu to wake up.
An hour later, Feng Jiu had finally woken up. After she had washed up and came out, she saw Yang Yong in the courtyard: “Yang Yong, why are you here?” She looked around, and when she didn’t see Xuanyuan Mo Ze, she asked: “Where is he?”
Yang Yong bowed respectfully and replied: “My Lord has gone to the Bamboo Forest to practice his swordsmanship. I am here to apologise. I am truly sorry about what happened yesterday, I….”
Feng Jiu waved her hand: “There’s no need to mention what happened yesterday, I’m not bothered.” She walked forwards and came to sit down at the stone table. She raised her eyebrows when she saw the breakfast on the table and asked: “Did you prepare this?”
“Yes.” He nodded and smiled.
“It looks quite good.” She said with one hand on her chin.
“Ghost Doctor can eat first. I will send someone to bring another portion for My Lord later.”
“Okay.” Feng Jiu didn’t wait for Xuanyuan Mo Ze as she knew when he practiced his swordsmanship he would usually take about two hours. She ate her breakfast and told Yang Yong to bring some warm breakfast over later on.
Yang Yong didn’t leave, but stayed in the courtyard and sat by the side of the table. He looked at her and said: “Ghost Doctor, you’re leaving tomorrow? Do you need me to send men to escort you?”
“No need.” She waved her hand: “It’s easier to travel by myself.” She wiped the corners of her mouth and said to him: “While I am not with him in the coming days, you have to take good care of him.”
“Yes, Ghost Doctor. Rest assured we all will.”
When Xuanyuan Mo Ze returned, he saw the two of them chatting in the courtyard. His eyes narrowed as he walked closer.
Upon seeing Xuanyuan Mo Ze, Yang Yong stood up: “My Lord.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze glanced at Yang Yong: “Have you got nothing to do outside?”
Yang Yong was startled for a moment, then he smiled and said: “Yes, I just remembered that there are some things that haven’t been handled properly. My Lord, Ghost Doctor, please continue chatting, I will go and finish my work.” He retreated after he had finished speaking.
After he had left, Feng Jiu’s eyes narrowed as she smiled and said: “The breakfast Yang Yong brought over is quite good. The temperature of the food I ate earlier was just nice. I know that you wouldn’t be back so soon so I didn’t leave you any food.”
She looked at his grumpy handsome face and said: “Sit down and wait for a while, he will send someone with warm breakfast over for you.” As she spoke, his hand reached out and held hers.
“What’s the matter?” She asked, looking at him who had his eyes lowered staring at her hand.
“I’m worried about you leaving alone.”
Over here, Nascent Soul cultivators were like clouds and although Celestial Strong Exponents weren’t all over the streets but in almost every family there would be a Celestial Strong Exponent within their clan. How could he relax when she was going out there by herself?
Upon hearing this, she smiled widely: “I’ve told you not to worry about me. If I can’t defeat my opponent then I will run away! Besides, I will be careful and not cause trouble casually.”
He glanced at her and said straightforwardly: “Your words aren’t that credible.”
Feng Jiu was startled at that, and she chuckled: “Okay, okay, you just rest assured anyway! I can take care of myself.” She didn’t want him to send people to protect her in secret as it would give her the feeling that she was being watched.
