Feng Jiu knew the moment Mo Chen had walked in, even without looking because she was familiar with his breath. His breath was gentle, less sharp and fierce than Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s, and it was easy for people to let their guard down.
“You’re not sleeping anymore?” Mo Chen asked in amusement when he saw her take the book off her face.
“How can I sleep with you staring at me like that?” Feng Jiu smiled lightly and sat up from the soft couch and asked: “Now that you’re here, do you not plan to go back to see your Master?”
When he heard this, Mo Chen said in a warm voice: “There’s no hurry. After all, I only just went home yesterday to take a look. As for going to see my Master, I don’t think I need to be too anxious, I will go in due time.”
Feng Jiu nodded: “It’s been a few days since we have returned to Heavenly Pill Tower. Once Leng Hua and the others have settled matters, and Du Fan and the others come back, we can go back.” Having said that, she chuckled: “When the time comes, shall I invite you to take a stroll in Peach Blossom Ridge? The peach blossoms there are always in bloom and are extremely beautiful.”
“Very well.” Mo Chen responded with a smile and said: “And at that time, I will treat you to a drink under the peach blossom tree.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu responded with a smile. The two of them chatted for a while, then they saw Jun Jueshang and Guan Xilin walking in. Before Guan Xilin entered the courtyard, he had already greeted them with a smile.
“Little Jiu, Mo Chen. I knew you would be here.” Guan Xilin said with a smile and walked over with big strides. He sat down beside Mo Chen and called to Jun Jueshang: “Sit here, there’s still a place here.”
The corners of Mo Chen’s mouth twitched when he saw that his snow-white robe was blackened. He glanced at Guan Xilin and asked: “Where did you go earlier?”
Guan Xilin hadn’t noticed it until now, and he couldn’t help but be startled as he grabbed his robe with one hand and inspected it: “It’s dirty? I didn’t even know!” Then, he looked at Mo Chen and said apologetically: “Why don’t you go back and change your clothes? I’m really sorry?”
“It’s fine.” Mo Chen replied, he didn’t mind.
Upon seeing this, Guan Xilin smiled and said: “We went to the practice field earlier and exchanged a few moves. Look, all the dirt on my body was caused by him.” He spread his hands out helplessly and looked at Jun Jueshang standing there.
Jun Jueshang averted his gaze slightly and set his eyes on Feng Jiu and asked: “When will you tell me her whereabouts?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled: “There’s no hurry. Haven’t I already said? You will meet when the time is right.”
Jun Jueshang frowned when he heard those words again, but he didn’t ask anymore and just sat down.
At this time, Leng Hua came in from outside and greeted respectfully: “Master, there is someone here to see you.”
“Who is it?” Feng Jiu asked casually.
“It is the City Lords of the surrounding towns and the people for the big noble family clans. They are all outside the manor hoping to see Master.” Leng Hua said.
Feng Jiu smiled: “Send them away! Tell them to see you and the others if they need anything.” She didn’t care about those matters anymore. She left them to the people under her command. That way, she could relax and enjoy herself.
Upon hearing this, Leng Hua paused for a moment before he answered: “Yes.” Then he turned around and went outside.
“The news of your return has spread, it won’t be just them who want to see you. I think people from all over the world will rush here to see you.” Mo Chen spoke slowly as he stood up: “I am going home, so I won’t come here tonight.”
