As the cold voice called out, a dozen people surrounded her instantly. Feng Jiu was startled for a moment, then she chuckled: “You’re quite vigilant, I was hoping to return quietly!”
Upon hearing this, the dozen people were stunned. They looked at the little beggarin front of them hesitantly and asked: “Master?”
“Yes, it’s me.” Feng Jiu said. She looked at their stunned faces with a smile and asked: “Where are Du Fan and Leng Hua?”
When they heard her voice, they knew that it belonged to their Master. They put away their swords immediately and bowed respectfully: “Subordinate greets Master. We are sorry to have offended you Master. Please forgive us Master.”
“It’s fine.” Feng Jiu waved her hand. It was a good thing to be vigilant.
One of them said: “Du Fan and Leng Hua are inside doing the accounts. Subordinate will tell them to come over.”
“No need.” Feng Jiu said. She stepped forward and instructed: “Give the order, the news of my return cannot be spread out of Heavenly Pill Tower.”
The dozen people were surprised and couldn’t help but ask: “What about Hell’s Lord and the others? Hell’s Lord came over this afternoon.”
Feng Jiu paused and said: “I’ll decide after I have spoken to Du Fan and Leng Hua.”
“Yes.” They responded and watched her walk forward before they retreated into the shadows.
Du Fan and Leng Hua who were at the front of the Tower doing the accounts were startled when the dark guard told them that their Master had returned. When they walked out to the back courtyard, they saw a little beggar walking in. After the two of them looked at the little beggar, they hesitated: “Master?”
The disguise looked so familiar, but the appearance…
“Well, come to the attic. I have something to ask you.” Feng Jiu said. Her eyes swept across the building. As they were doing the accounts, the main door was shut and only their own people were in the building at this time.
When they heard this, they looked at each other and smiled: “Yes.” They followed behind her as they went up to the attic.
Feng Jiu sat at the table in the attic and poured herself a cup of tea to drink. She asked: “What’s the origin of the woman with Mo Ze? Why is she by his side?”
Upon hearing this, the two of them were slightly surprised: “Has Master seen her?”
“I met them on my way back.” She said, and took a sip of her tea.
When they heard this, Du Fan and Leng Hua looked at each other and thought to themselves: Judging by the situation, their Master was probably jealous? That’s why she didn’t tell Hell’s Lord she had returned?
“You tell her.” Du Fan elbowed Leng Hua and gestured.
Leng Hua glanced at him, then said to Feng Jiu: “Master, this woman’s surname is Yun, her name is Xuexin. She arrived at Hundred Rivers City about a month ago. At that time, she came directly to Heavenly Pill Tower to look for Hell’s Lord. She said that she is his Junior Sister.”
“I heard Gray Wolf mention that Yun Xuexin had given a handwritten letter to Hell’s Lord from Hell’s Lord’s Master which asked him to look after her. Originally, Hell’s Lord had wanted her to stay at Ling Manor, but she said that she heard of Feng Manor on her way here and that Feng Manor was more lively, so she wanted to stay there. Hell’s Lord agreed, and so she is now living in our Manor.”
“Afterwards, I sent someone to investigate her background, but I couldn’t find any information on her. So we have deduced that she is either a member of a reclusive family or someone from an overseas region. However, Yue Xuexin has never mentioned where she’s from.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu nodded: “I see.”
She wondered where the woman had come from and why she was by Mo Ze’s side! So she was his Junior Sister. But why did she feel so uncomfortable even after hearing that their relationship was only of Senior Brother and Junior Sister?
