“Junior Sister.” Duan Mubai called out in front of Shangguan Wanrong’s cave-dwelling. “I have something to tell you.”
The cave’s boundary opened up. Duan Mubai stepped in. When he entered the cave, he saw the woman was packing her valuables.
“Senior Brother, is there anything else?” Shangguan Wanrong stopped her movements and looked back at him.
Duan Mubai hesitated and seemed to be thinking about what to say. Only after a long time did he answer, “Junior Sister, don’t come back here after going out this time.”
Shangguan Wanrong smiled gently. “Senior Brother, don’t worry, I know what to do.” She paused, then looked at him and whispered, “I’d like to request something from Senior Brother.”
Duan Mubai was surprised because she had never had any request or demand. What exactly was going on to make her say this?
“Tell me. As long as it is something that I can do, I will not shirk it.”
Shangguan Wanrong nodded. “I’d like to ask Senior Brother to take care of Feng Jiu. If you can’t, let him go home!”
The only thing that caused her incessant worry was her daughter. If she had an accident, Feng Jiu might act recklessly. Master Third Sun was a Celestial Strong Exponent. No matter how strong, it might be impossible for her to fight with him.
Duan Mubai was astonished. “Junior Sister, what is the relationship between you and Feng Jiu? Since we came back from the mystic realm, I’ve had a feeling you both have been a bit…”
“Senior Brother, please don’t ask me about this. If there is a chance in the future, I will tell you, but not now.”
Duan Mubai nodded. “I know, rest assured! I’ll take care of him well. If he’s no longer willing to stay at the sect, I’ll let him go home. ‘
“Thank you so much, Senior Brother.” She bowed to thank him.
Duan Mubai looked at her deeply without saying anything. “Then, I’m leaving first. You must be careful on the road.”
“I will.” She nodded and sent him off. She looked around as he left. Since she didn’t see her daughter, she turned around and entered the cave.
Feng Jiu never found the time due to Luo Heng. When she descended from the eighth peak, she was dragged to see Chen Dao. It was already dark when she finally found the time. She sneaked into the eighth peak quietly and arrived at her mother’s cave.
“Mother, I’m here.” After entering the cave, she called and her mother came out from the cave’s interior.
“I’ve been waiting for you for most of the day. Why are you so late?”
While telling her this, Shangguan Wanrong pulled her hand, took her to the table and sat down. “Master Third Sun asked me to leave the sect and gain experience outside tomorrow. Listen to your mother. After I leave, find the chance to leave and go home.”
She could have taken her daughter out with her, but she was afraid that if she failed to escape, she would implicate her daughter. So her daughter had to stay behind and look for the chance to leave.
“I have asked my Senior Brother to take care of you. If you encounter any problems, you can go to him. He’s pretty good and will definitely help you.” She whispered.
Feng Jiu smiled with both eyes narrowed to crescents. “Mother, I’m here for you. How can I stay put when you’re in danger? Don’t worry. I’ll catch up with you tomorrow as soon as you leave.”
