Chapter 2764: Settling The Account
“The child is inside alone?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze asked. He walked past Leng Shuang without stopping towards the closed door.
Leng Shuang followed behind but didn’t say anything. She watched as he pushed the door open, her heart panicked. When he stepped inside, she couldn’t help but walk inside as well. She thought that she would see her Master inside, but she only saw the Young Master rolling around on the bed, playing with the rattle in his hand.
When she didn’t see her Master, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also a little surprised. Didn’t her Master want to go to see h.e.l.l’s Lord? Why was she still hiding? In this place, where could her Master hide?
She collected her thoughts and took a small breath, then she stepped forward and asked: “h.e.l.l’s Lord, what’s the matter?”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze watched the little guy playing on the bed by himself and didn’t see anyone else in the room. His eyes flicked around and fell on Leng Shuang: “Your Master is back?”
Leng Shuang raised her head in astonishment when she heard this: “Master is back?” h.e.l.l’s Lord had found out? She looked at him and suppressed her guilty conscience and said: “I don’t know anything about it?”
At seeing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze paused for a moment, then he walked out: “Take good care of the child.”
After Leng Shuang saw him out, she watched him leave the courtyard, then she let out a light breath of relief and walked back to the room. When she saw her Master sitting by the bedside, she couldn’t help but be startled and asked: “Master, don’t you want h.e.l.l’s Lord to know that you’re back?”
“I just don’t want to let Yue Xuexin know that I’m back.” Feng Jiu said, as she sat by the bed playing with the child: “That woman is just biding her time. I don’t even know where she’s from and she’s already living in my house!”
Upon hearing this, Leng Shuang couldn’t help but smile: “h.e.l.l’s Lord really misses Master.”
Feng Jiu chuckled lightly when she heard this: “I know, I miss him too. That’s why I came back quietly to see him. In fact, I was worried that I would attract the attention of those people and affect you all when I came back here.”
She sighed softly: “With my current strength, I am not afraid of them. But if you go against them, you will definitely lose.”
“Rest a.s.sured Master, our strength has improved a lot during this time.” Leng Shuang said, looking at her: “Whether it is Heavenly Pill Tower or at the Manor, we have strengthened our vigilance, so Master does not have to worry so much.”
“Well, go and rest! I will go to the kitchen to cook something for him to eat,” Feng Jiu said, then she got up and walked out to go to the kitchen to make some food.
After Leng Shuang saw her out of the courtyard, she returned to her room.
There weren’t many servants in Feng Manor, and they had all been trained, so they were far from comparable to ordinary people. At this time, when they saw Feng Jiu appear, they bowed and retreated.
As soon as Feng Jiu left, the dark guards came out of the shadows and instructed them to keep quiet about Master’s return. Even if someone were to ask, they could not say anything.
Therefore, all the way to the kitchen, she didn’t attract the attention of Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s courtyard.
In the wing-room, Feng Jiu cooked two bowls of noodles with her own hands. She added eggs, vegetables, meat and other things on top of the noodles, then she covered it with something. Then, she walked to her courtyard with the two bowls of noodles because she knew that Mo Ze had been living in her courtyard while she was not in the Manor.
When she pa.s.sed a place, she stopped and ordered a dark guard in the shadows: “Get Gray Wolf out of there for me to be a beggar for a few days.”
