3517 The Wait
They sat in a corner, several meters away from a group of people who were shoving and harassing the elderly woman. When she saw this, she moved her palm and silently shot a silver needle into the body of the group leader.
“Big Brother, Big Brother!”
“Why did he faint all of a sudden? Quick, take him to the hospital!” When their shouts didn’t get any response, the group hastily carried the man off to the hospital.
The elderly woman looked in shock for a while before she finally came to. She shook her head and sighed. As she began to clean up the table and chairs that had been turned over, she muttered, “What a crime! Instead of doing something useful, these able-bodied people intimidate ordinary citizens.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze asked as he sipped lotus seed soup. “Should I accompany you strolling around town later? Look around and see if there’s anything you want to buy.”
“Alright!” Feng Jiu smiled and finished her soup. She then put two gold coins on the table, got up, and left.
The elderly woman looked at the gold coins and hesitated, “Guests, you don’t need to give so much…”
“It’s fine, take it,” Feng Jiu said, smiling. As they were walking away, her eyes met the gaze of someone who was staring at her. She nodded quickly before joining arms with Xuanyuan Mo Ze and walking away.
A man sitting not too far away watched them go, his eyes thoughtful. Soon after, he stood up and followed them at a leisurely pace.
Who were Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu? With their cultivation, they immediately noticed they were being followed.
“That looks like the man who was by the stall earlier. He may have seen me step in. I wonder what he wants to do.” Feng Jiu chuckled as she held Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s hand. They didn’t look back, pretending to be unaware.
“We’ll throw him off at the intersection ahead, ” Xuanyuan Mo Ze replied, his gaze fixed on the road ahead.
The man behind them was unaware he had been discovered and continued to pursue them, speculating about their identities. Eventually, he found that they had disappeared.
Astonished, he increased his speed and looked around, but there was no sign of them.
He scowled, “Who were they? How could I lose them with my abilities?” He had no choice but to wander around, hoping to run into them again.
Shortly after he left, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu came out of a corner. After a quick glance in the direction of the man, Xuanyuan Mo Ze turned to Feng Jiu and said, “Let’s go! We’ll take a stroll in the night market.”
The couple wandered through the night market, admiring the moon, and didn’t return home until it was dark. Yu Chengde, who had settled his family at the Yu Manor, wandered around the gate from time to time, looking around, waiting for them to return.
“Master, you should go inside. I can wait here. When Master and Madam Ling return, I’ll take them to rest,” the steward said, looking at his master’s bandaged hand with a sigh.
“No need, I’ll wait a bit longer,” Yu Chengde said, pacing back and forth near the gate. When he saw the couple approaching at a leisurely pace, he couldn’t help but greet them with joy.
