“We have!”
Their thunderous and powerful voice reverberated. Several days ago, their comrades died, their friends passed away, but they survived. They often recalled their helplessness when they couldn’t save them. They hated their own incompetence.
It’s only strength. Only great strength could protect those they wanted to protect! They had an incessant wish to become powerful! Even though it was very difficult for them to do it by themselves, with the help of their Mistress, they believed that they could do it!
“Please stand up.”
After everyone responded and stood up, she spoke again. “I will provide you with advancing potions. My big brother will train you during this period of time. I hope to see each and every one of you make progress by leaps and bounds.” She looked at them, passed a few words to Guan Xilin, then turned around to leave after handing over those people to him.
In the next few days, Feng Jiu used all the spirit herbs in the space to refine the advancing pills. After refining a batch of pills, she found that there were fewer pills in the space. She originally wanted Du Fan to go out for a trip, but finally, she decided to go to the city by herself.
As she planned to tell her parents, ready to go out, she met Guan Xilin waiting for her outside the courtyard.
“Big Brother, do you have something in mind?”
“I hear you’re going out?” Guan Xilin asked.
“Yes. I’m going to the city to buy some spirit herbs. What’s the matter? Do you want to buy something? I’ll buy it on the way.” Feng Jiu told him.
“I have nothing to buy. I’m just worried that it’s not safe for you to go out alone. I’ll tell you what! I’ll keep you company.”
Feng Jiu smiled and waved a hand at him. “No need. I intend to dress up as a small beggar to enter a city.” She flicked the red dress on her body. “I can’t wear this dazzling costume. The latest news must have already spread out. Maybe many people are staring at me in the dark! Entering the city as a little beggar is the most convenient and safest way for me.”
“Then, you can’t do it on your own!” He said. “Let’s do this! Since you want to dress up as a beggar, I’ll do the same and go to the city with you!”
“You?” She looked at him in surprise, then laughed and waved her hand. “No, it’s impossible. You’re not cut out to be a beggar.”
“What do you mean? You can. Why can’t I?” Guan Xilin said with disapproval. As soon as he said this, Feng Jiu patted his chest.
“Look at you, you are very muscular, tall and strong. How can you look like a beggar? Alright, alright, that’s it. I won’t talk to you any further. I’ll go back and get ready before going to the city.” Feng Jiu smiled and turned around to leave, preparing to return to the room to change clothes.
Hearing her words, Guan Xilin could only lower his head, looking at his strong build with a frown. “It’s actually true. It’s possible to say that I”m a hired thug. If I say I’m a beggar, surely no one will believe me.”
However, he was still a little worried about letting her go into the city alone.
“Worried about the Mistress?” Before he knew it, Du Fan appeared beside him.
Guan Xilin glanced at him. “Is it possible for me not to worry? The Phoenix Empire is gone as well as the Feng clan. We left our native place to come here. Outside, it’s unknown how many people want her life. If I let her go out alone, how can I be at ease?”
Hearing this, Du Fan smiled. “Please rest assured! Mistress will be alright.”
