The man’s sombre voice entered Yun Xuexin’s ears. She pursed her lips and didn’t speak again, and allowed the two men to help her up from the bed.
“What are you going to do with Feng Jiu next?” Yun Xuexin asked.
“That’s not something you should concern yourself with.” The man gave her a cold look. He reached out and raised her chin and looked at her pale face, saying: “What you need to do now is take good care of your body and recover. Master has other tasks for you.”
Yun Xuexin turned her face slightly and broke her chin free. She said coldly: “My Senior Brother is a Celestial strong exponent, his combat power is unfathomable. If you want to deal with Feng Jiu, you must lure him away first before you have a chance to make a move. Otherwise, no matter how many people you send, if the two of them join forces, it will be impossible for you to defeat Feng Jiu.”
“You think I need you to tell me what to do? You should take care of yourself first!” The man’s eyes narrowed and flashed coldly. With his gesture, the two men took her away.
After the man’s eyes swept through the courtyard, he also turned and left.
The next day, when the maid arrived to wait on her, she found that Yun Xuexin was missing. Hence, she hurried back to Feng Manor to report the matter.
“What? She’s gone?” Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows and looked at the maid who lowered her head.
“Yes, I went in this morning to wait on Miss Yun washing up only to find that Miss Yun was gone. Servant has neglected her duty and didn’t take good care of Miss Yun. Please punish me, Master.” The maid’s voice trembled slightly and her heart panicked as she knelt down in front of Feng Jiu with her head lowered.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu waved her hand: “It’s fine, get up!” She said: “Come with me to take a look.” She left Feng Manor and went to the small courtyard.
When she arrived at the small courtyard, she went into the room where Yun Xuexin was staying and saw that there were no signs of a struggle in the room. The things were neatly arranged as they were before, but the quilt on her bed was lifted and not folded.
So, she looked at the maid behind her and asked: “Has this room been tidied up?”
“Master, no. When servant discovered that Miss Yun was missing, I hurried back to the Manor to report the matter. Nothing in the place has been moved.”
Feng Jiu nodded and waved her hand: “That’s fine, go back to Feng Manor! You don’t need to come here anymore.”
After the maid responded, she stepped back, Feng Jiu stepped forward and stood beside the bed deep in thought. After a long time, she walked outside.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze was in the midst of instructing his subordinates and handing over his affairs when Shadow One informed him that Feng Jiu was here. Therefore, he dismissed everyone and went outside.
“Why do you have time to come over? Is there something you need to see me about?” He came outside to the courtyard and sat down, then motioned for the guard to pour two cups of tea.
“I’m here to tell you that your Junior Sister has run away.” Feng Jiu said. She came to the table to sit down and looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze with her chin resting in her hands.
“Run away?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze was slightly surprised: “Do you mean she’s left? I thought she hadn’t recovered? Can she leave by herself?”
“I went to the court to take a look earlier, I think she has been taken away. It should be the person who injured her. There were no signs of a fight or struggle, so I think the person who took her away was her acquaintance.”
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze nodded: “It’s good that she’s gone. I wanted her to leave anyway, so now that she’s gone, things won’t turn ugly.”
Feng Jiu smiled: “I still have to make a trip to Heavenly Pill Tower. I will have dinner with you tonight.”
