Chapter 2688: Travelling Together
Guo Xinning walked over to Feng Jiu, looked at the man, and said, “It looks like Young Master Li struck first just now. How can you blame other people when you fall down the stairs?”
When the man heard this, he frowned and asked, “Are you Guo Xinning?” After a pause, he looked at the three people beside him and asked glumly, “Do you want to stand up for the three of them?”
“I just think it’s better to bring it out in the open this way. No one is helped by making a big deal out of it. Guo Xinning spoke calmly while clasping his hands behind his back.
“Bring it out in the open? Hahaha! Surnamed Guo, do you think my Li family is easy to bully? I swear to you, if this kid doesn’t kowtow to me today, I’m not going to let him go!”
The man surnamed Li screamed in pain and glared viciously at Feng Jiu.
Guo Xinning gave him a quick glance before saying to Feng Jiu, “It’s getting late. Let’s go back first!”
Feng Jiu nodded and stepped forward, and the Xie siblings followed her immediately. The moment the man tried to stop them, Guo Xinning held out his hand to push him back while issuing a stern warning.
“Young Master Li, you should go back and get your medicine as soon as possible.”
As soon as his voice faded, he followed Feng Jiu, and the two of them left together for Guo’s house. No one dared to stop them as they walked away. The man surnamed Li gritted his teeth and stared at them. “What a lousy Guo Xinning! We shall see!” He went out and returned home while holding his injured hand with his other hand.
When he returned to the Guo mansion, Guo Xinning sent them back to their courtyard before going to his father, telling him what had happened outside that evening, and finally saying, “They are leaving tomorrow morning.”
…
“Mmm, then I’ll have it ready for him first thing in the morning.” Patriarch Guo said while walking with his hands clasped behind his back in the courtyard. “It’s just that we’ve offended the Li family, so I suppose I’ll need to find time to deal with it.
“The Li family’s Young Master was the first to strike. Brother Xie would have been seriously injured if Feng Jiu hadn’t kicked him out at the time.” Guo Xinning explained.
“I know. The Li family has always been unruly. This is not the first time something like this has occurred. It would be a different story if this happened to other families. They should not dare to come to our door, but there is one thing I must tell you. ”
He looked at his father, wondering what the matter was.
“Recently, Treasure Exchange Building released the news that they have a medicinal pill of the highest quality. That pill can help an Immortal Sacred Peak Strong Exponent to advance to the level of Immortal Venerable. As you know, I have been stuck in Immortal Sacred Peak for many years, but the chances of me breaking through this barrier on my own are slim.”
He paused while taking a stroll with his hands clasped behind his back. “I’ve heard that Treasure Exchange Building has verified the efficacy of this medicinal pill. Even after taking it, there would still be an opportunity to break through and advance, and it would not hinder one’s cultivation. So, I intend to take this medicinal pill. Your grandfather has decided to see it for himself after hearing about it, and I’m considering telling him to bring you along.
“Treasure Exchange Building?”
Guo Xinning was astonished. “Is it not in the same direction that Feng Jiu is travelling?”
There was only one Treasure Exchange Building in this area, and it was located in the same town as the Xie family. As a result, they might be able to travel together.
“Mm, so I thought you should go with them tomorrow! So I thought you should go with them tomorrow! So you’ll have some help and support along the way. Feng Jiu’s origins are also unknown. If we can learn more about his origins or recruit him to our side, it will be extremely beneficial to the Guo family.”
