However, all of this was just extravagant hopes and wishes. The sensitive soul she was could sense that her father didn’t like her at all. Was it because she was deaf and mute? She really wanted to tell her father that Feng Jiu had cured her of her deafness and muteness, but…
However, her father didn’t give her the chance, because she was unable to meet the disgusted gaze of her father, she was unable to tell her father under the gaze of his disgust that she had been cured of her deafness and muteness.
On the other side, after Feng Jiu and the others had left Shunyan City, they parted ways with Guan Xilin. Gray Wolf who had left the Manor the night before had prepared a carriage and he rode on Old White while Shadow One was in charge of driving the carriage.
Their next destination was Sky Mountain, therefore, they would go straight there…
On the third day after they had left, Duan Mubai had returned to the Duan Residence. And at this time, Duan Linlin who had finally been let out of her courtyard was throwing a tantrum because the person that made her happy was gone, and she didn’t even know his name.
“Father, didn’t you ask for the name of the man in the black robes? Where is he from? Where do you think they have gone?” She asked, unwilling to give up.
“Little Lin, don’t think about that person anymore. Daddy will find a good match for you.” The City Lord said, and waved his hand to motion her to stop pestering him.
“A good match? Father, you wouldn’t just find me any country bumpkin like you did for my elder sister, would you?”
She disagreed, after she had been let out of own courtyard, she had learned three pieces of news. One, was that her grandfather was awake and was recovering. The other, was that the few people had left. The last was that her father had arranged a marriage for her deaf and mute elder sister, she was to be married off quietly to the countryside.
When she thought of her deaf and mute elder sister, she took her father’s hand and said: “Father, if you want to marry my elder sister off, you better do it before elder brother returns. Otherwise, if elder brother finds out, he will definitely stop you.”
“I know, I have already ordered men to handle the matter. She will be picked up three days later. The people outside only know that I have one daughter, that is you. I don’t intend to let anyone know about her marriage.”
As Duan Linlin listened, her eyes narrowed and she finally felt a little better. It was great that she would never have to see that face that was identical to her again.
“City Lord, Second Master has returned.” The steward had hurried in to report. Striding in behind him was Duan Mubai wearing the white robe of Pill Sun Sect.
When he saw him approaching, the City Lord was overjoyed and hurried forwards: “Second brother, you are back!”
“Elder brother, how is father?” Duan Mubai asked. He had hurried back upon learning the news. It was just that his body needed time to recover from his injuries and he was delayed on the road, that was why he had only arrived now.
“Don’t worry, Father is fine and he has woken up. A few days ago, when a youth in red robes called Feng Jiu learned of the Exquisite Seven Colour Flower in our Manor, he came to our Manor. He cured Father of his illness and now Father’s life is no longer in danger. He is still recuperating at the moment.”
“You mean the person who cured Father’s illness was a youth in red robes? His name is Feng Jiu?” Duan Mubai asked incredulously.
When he saw his look of disbelief, the City Lord nodded and said: “Yes, what’s the matter? Do you know this Young Master Feng?”
Duan Mubai was speechless for a long time. Finally, he smiled bitterly: “It’s not as simple as knowing. I just didn’t expect him to come to our Duan Residence. You said earlier that he came for the Exquisite Seven Colour Flower?”
