3533 Can’t Escape
The man didn’t seem to expect her to stop and ask him a question, so he was startled momentarily.
“Why are you following us?” Feng Jiu asked again.
At this time, the man came back to his senses and looked at her. His eyes fell on her hand, and he asked:” You know ancient medicine, and the Madam Ling that everyone has been talking about today should be you!”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows. This was not a question, but an affirmation. But, ancient medicine? She looked at the man and asked: “And?”
“I want to ask for your help to save someone.” After the man spoke, he said quickly: “I will pay you a reward.”
“I’m not interested.”
Feng Jiu smiled, then she took Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s hand and walked forward. Yes, she had medical knowledge, but she always saved people based on her mood and preference. She didn’t just save anyone she met, not to mention that she didn’t even know who the person before her was, so why would she help him save someone?
The two of them walked forward, and the man behind them paused, then he followed them. However, he didn’t get too close. After all, the coercion on the bearded man was very intimidating.
However, as he followed behind them, he noticed that when the bearded man, who didn’t speak much, looked at the woman in azure clothes, his eyes were soft and affectionate. As the two of them walked along the street, the man used his body to protect the woman from being hit by the people on the busy, lively street. When the woman wanted to eat the snacks from a street stall, he pushed forward and bought some for her. He put everything the woman bought into space.
As he followed them, he couldn’t help but feel strange and confused about the man’s considerate behaviour. The man looked like a very powerful person at first glance, how could someone like him do all those things for a woman?
In the evening, when the sky had darkened, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu returned to the inn to rest, and the man followed them back to the inn.
At midnight, there was a sudden loud bang that shocked almost the entire city into turmoil. Many people put on their clothes and went outside to take a look.
“What happened? Where did that noise come from?”
“Did something explode? Or did the mountain collapse? Why was it so loud?”
“Something happened at the Yu Manor! The Yu Manor is on fire and is surrounded by hundreds of black-clothed men. All the aristocratic families in the city don’t dare to intervene.”
In their room, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu couldn’t help but look at each other when they heard this: “Could it be those people who ambushed them on the road striking again? Now that that thing is in our hands, why are they still targeting the Yu Family?”
“I guess that they probably didn’t believe that Yu Chengde would give away his family heirloom and thought that it was a hoax.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said, then he got up and got dressed and put on his beard.
Feng Jiu also turned over and sat up. After she put on her clothes, she simply pulled up her black hair and said: “This Yu Family is really unlucky. Fortunately we haven’t gone far, otherwise, their entire family clan would probably be exterminated.”
She sighed softly, and after she finished tidying up, she asked: “Do you want to come with me?”
“Let’s go! We will take a look together.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said, then put his arms around her waist and jumped out the window with her.
Outside, the man was standing guard when he noticed something. So, he rushed out of the inn quickly and saw two figures passing by in the night, and he followed them quickly.
Inside the Yu Manor, everyone was in great distress. Cries and exclamations drifted out from inside from time to time. A corner of the main door had collapsed, and the Yu Manor plaque had fallen crookedly to one side.
