3111 I Am Your Ancestor
Several people glanced at Mu Jiu, then said to Guo Ziqi: “Our Team Leader today is Mu Jiu, we will do as he says!” It was one thing to bring the woman along with them, but if they were to ignore his advice again, they were worried that they would really annoy him.
Upon hearing this, Guo Ziqi smiled slyly: “Fine, we will listen to Mu Jiu.” Then he continued: “Mu Jiu, I have no other intentions, don’t be offended.” It wasn’t that he didn’t take him seriously, but he thought that if they stayed in the cave dwelling, they would at least be able to sleep more comfortably at night.
Mu Jiu had saved them many times along the way, and he saw it. Naturally, he wouldn’t be defiant against him. Not to mention, he was also someone that his Master had told him to take good care of. Although it seemed that he was taking care of them instead.
“Let’s go further ahead and take a look!” Pei Zixuan said and pointed to a place in front: “The side of that mountain there looks like a good place to rest, it can block the wind at night.”
So, everyone continued walking forward and came to the place that Pei Zixuan had mentioned. Feng Jiu glanced around and said to them: “Let’s rest here! Mu Ling, come with me and have a look around the surroundings. Zixuan, I’ll leave you in charge here.”
“Yes.”
They responded and Mu Ling followed Feng Jiu to inspect the surroundings while Pei Zixuan assigned tasks to everyone. He also told them to pick some branches nearby to build a fire with at night.
Mu Ling followed Mu Jiu. After the two of them had walked some distance, Mu Ling hesitated. He seemed to want to say something, and his lips moved, but he didn’t say it.
Feng Jiu naturally noticed and said: “Do you have something to ask me?”
“Yes.” Mu Ling responded. He looked at him and said: “I just don’t know how to say it.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled lightly: “Since you don’t know then just open your mouth.”
Mu Ling paused for a moment then he asked: “You’re not from the Mu Family are you?”
“No.” Feng Jiu answered very straightforwardly. It stunned Mu Ling as he didn’t think that he would answer his question. He asked: “You’re not Master’s disciple?”
Feng Jiu glanced at him with a smile on her face and said briskly: “No.”
“You came in here just for the Millenium Wuling Tendon?” Mu Ling asked again.
“That’s right.” Feng Jiu nodded and replied.
“Who exactly are you?” He asked his final question and looked at her nervously: “Master told me that I can’t inquire about you and that I can’t ask about your affairs. But I am still a little curious and I want to know who you are.”
Feng Jiu smiled when she heard this and said in a teasing tone: “I am your ancestor.”
Mu Ling’s face darkened immediately when he heard this. He really thought that Mu Jiu was joking with him. He was about to teach him a lesson for making such a rude and presumptuous joke when a sudden realisation flashed through his head and his heart moved and his eyes widened in shock.
“You’re not Mu Jiu, you’re Feng Jiu?”
He took a deep breath and exhaled in shock as he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
“Your response is very fast.”
Feng Jiu nodded and smiled: “Yes, my name is Feng Jiu, so I’m not wrong to say I’m your ancestor, am I right? Your ancestor has to call me Master, so if you think about it, I’m your Master, and also your ancestor.”
