He glanced at them and saw that there were about a dozen of them, and asked: “Did you just arrive? Do you want to come to the City Lord Manor to stay for a couple of days? If you’re short of anything, I can send someone to help you take care of it.” They were acquainted after all, so he didn’t mind helping them out.
“No need, we plan to stay at the inn.” Feng Jiu said, and withdrew her eyes. She said lightly: “Since it’s nothing, you can go back! You should change your old habit, otherwise, if I encounter this situation again next time, you know what will happen.”
Upon hearing this, he shuddered inexplicably and said: “I understand.” Having said that, he turned around quickly and left, not daring to stay there any longer.
After he left, Du Fan smiled and said: “Master, this kid seems quite afraid of you.”
“He’s suffered a defeat at my hands, how can he not be afraid?” Feng Jiu said. She looked at them: “Have you bought everything?”
“Yes.” Everyone responded.
“Then let’s find an inn to rest! We have to be on our way tomorrow.” Feng Jiu said, then she stood up and looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze: “Let’s go!”
“Mmm.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze responded, then stood up and went out with her. They were followed by Leng Shuang, who was holding the child in her arms, and several others.
On the other side, after Ling Tianyu had returned to the City Lord Manor, he went to his father’s courtyard and said: “Father, I met Feng Jiu that psychopath outside this morning again.” As he spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
When City Lord Ling, who was drinking tea, heard this, he couldn’t help but choke. He coughed twice and asked hurriedly: “What did you say?”
“I said I encountered Feng Jiu that scourge outside today. What bad luck, all the people I saw today were her people. If I hadn’t run fast, I would have been in trouble again.” He frowned and said. He thought of all the people around Feng Jiu, they were all outstanding, and the black-robed man was even more so.
Earlier, he had noticed that a woman behind was carrying a child. When he thought of the dazzling woman giving birth to such a child at some point in time, his heart skipped a beat.
He wanted to go and take a look at the situation, but he was afraid he would be taught a lesson by Feng Jiu if she found out. Hence, though he was curious, he didn’t go.
“Feng Feng Jiu is here again? What is she doing here this time?” City Lord Ling was stunned for a moment, he was puzzled. After she had left the last time, he had sent someone to inquire and found out that she had gone to the Xie Family in another city and caused a lot of commotion.
Judging from that, she was most likely going up the Immortal Ascension Ladder at that time, so why did she come back here again?
“How would I know why she’s come back here again? But this time, it looks like she’s brought her family along. I don’t know why though.” Ling Tianyu said with suspicion.
“Brought her family? Then why didn’t you invite her to the Manor?”
“I did, but she declined my invitation. She said they were going to stay at the inn. Should I have forced her to come? Besides, there was a black-robed man sitting beside her, his aura…” Ling Tianyu paused, as if he was thinking about how to describe it.
“Well?” City Lord Ling asked.
He glanced at his father and said: “It’s a little terrifying. He glanced at me and I felt like I was falling into an ice cellar. I was scared to the core of my heart.”
Upon hearing this, City Lord Ling thought for a while, then said: “Out of courtesy, we should invite them to our Manor, but since she has declined, then that’s fine.”
