“I didn’t realize that Master is here, thus the failure in welcoming you properly. I beg your pardon.” The shopkeeper saluted in a hurry when he got inside with excitement on his face. His eyes flashed with anticipation.
It’s their Master, Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu! It’s truly beyond his expectations that he, the shopkeeper who managed this small medicine shop here, would also have a chance to meet their master.
“Please stand up.” Feng Jiu put the command token away and sat down casually inside the inner room. “I came here to send a message to the Heavenly Pill Tower. Get a pen and ink.”
“Yes, yes.” The shopkeeper replied immediately. After bringing the pen and ink, he stood respectfully aside and looked surreptitiously at the master from time to time.
He knew that his master lived in the Heavenly Pill Tower in Hundred Rivers City, but he did not expect that the master had gone out and came to this place. He was curious, excited about, and admired his master, who he had only heard of it but had never met before. This was the first time he met his master up close, so one could well imagine his excitement.
Feng Jiu wrote the message, put a watermark seal on the letter, and then handed it to him. “Send it out as soon as possible. I will be back in a couple of days.”
“Yes, yes.” He responded. Seeing his master about to leave, he asked, “Master, do you have a place to stay here? There is also a courtyard at the back for you to rest.”
“There’s no need.” She waved her hand. She stopped walking and looked back at him. “I’m staying at Zhuo’s Manor in the city for a while. If there is an urgent and important matter, you can go to the Zhuo’s West Manor to find Zhuo Junyue.”
“Yes. I’ll remember it.” He answered respectfully and sent her off. When he saw her leave, the shopkeeper quickly asked someone to send the letter to the Heavenly Pill Tower in Hundred Rivers City
There was also a Black Market in the city, but Feng Jiu didn’t go there. Black Market’s people must have known the news about her settling temporarily in Hundred Rivers City. If the master of the Black Market was seriously ill, they should send him to the Heavenly Pill Tower.
At present, she had to take care of her Master’s wife health and cure Zhuo Junyang’s legs. She reckoned that she would have to stay here for some time. The Black Market’s master was kind to her. If something really happened to him, she must make a trip back.
After hearing about the Black Market, she didn’t want to go shopping anymore. She turned around and returned to Zhuo’s Manor. As soon as she entered, the old man greeted her.
“Where did you go? The old man thought you slipped away.” Sage Hun Yuan was relieved to see her back.
“Just out for a walk. Why? What’s the matter?” Feng Jiu asked and sat inside the courtyard.
“When are you going to teach me Tai Chi?” He took a seat next to her.
Feng Jiu glanced at him without saying anything.
The old man glared at her. “You don’t mean to renege your promise, do you? You can’t do that! Or else…”
“Or what?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Or else, the old man will pester you, follow you everywhere!”
Feng Jiu rolled her eyes. “Wait another day when I am in a good mood!” She stood up and walked to the courtyard, telling Sage Hun Yuan who stood up to follow her. “I want to take a rest. Don’t follow me.”
The old man choked and kept staring at her. “Didn’t you say you want to help Junyue’s grandmother recuperate? Are you going to sleep and eat all day? Isn’t this a waste of time?”
“You don’t have to worry about this..” Feng Jiu said without answering and closed the door after entering the room.
