Chapter 2770: A Lotus Seed as a Gift
“I haven’t dealt with her yet! How can I let her leave my Manor like this?” Feng Jiu snorted. “I haven’t met her in person today, but I heard that she is very much at home in my Manor.”
She played with her wine cup. “I came back discreetly because I didn’t want to alarm those who were after the blue lotus, but it looks like it won’t be long before they come to me.”
“With your current strength, you don’t have to be afraid of them and you don’t have to return secretly.” His voice paused, looking at her. “Are you worried about implicating the people around you?”
Feng Jiu remained silent, which could be interpreted as her tacit agreement.
“In fact, the people around you are also very strong, so you shouldn’t be too concerned.” After a brief pause, he looked at her. “You just came back today and you probably didn’t have a good rest. Don’t drink more wine, go home.”
“Are you rus.h.i.+ng me to leave?” Feng Jiu cast him a sour look. “I didn’t come here just to have a drink.”
She fished a lotus seed from the s.p.a.ce as she spoke. “I found golden lotus seeds like this one on the Penglai Immortal Island. After eating one of these, I made a breakthrough and advanced. Do you think this is the ancient golden lotus?”
Anyway, she couldn’t tell the difference, but when she ate the green lotus seed, it looked the same. No, not really. It didn’t look like regular lotus seeds at all.
Mo Chen gave it a glance before shaking his head. “This is not an ancient golden lotus, but its breath is on this lotus seed.I think it should be related to it in some way.”
“It has the breath of the ancient golden lotus?” She looked at Mo Chen in surprise. “How was I not able to sense it?”
Mo Chen smiled and said in a gentle voice, without elaborating. “You should return. Mo Ze is probably still waiting for you.”
She stood up, turned to face the courtyard, and asked, “Don’t you still have a room here? I’m going to sleep here tonight. I’m not going home.” She walked toward a side room as she spoke, and when she got inside, she slammed the door shut.
Mo Chen shook his head and smiled helplessly as he looked at the closed door. “You haven’t taken your lotus seed yet!” He exclaimed, looking at the lotus seed in his hand.
“That’s for you.” Feng Jiu’s voice came from the room.
Mo Chen stopped for a moment, looked at the lotus seed in his hand, and then said, “Thank you, but I can’t give you anything in return.” After hearing no response from the room, he stood up with a smile and took the lotus seed to his room.
When the door closed, he looked down at the lotus seed in his hand, but his thoughts were unknown. Finally, he took a delicate brocade bag from his pocket, placed the lotus seed inside, and tied it around his waist.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze had waited in Feng Manor all night without sleep. He walked towards the gate with his hands clasped behind his back, not waiting for Feng Jiu to return. However, as he pa.s.sed the pavilion at the rockery, he noticed Yun Xuexin eating breakfast there.
“Senior Brother? Why are you getting up so early today? ” Yun Xuexin seemed surprised to see him.
“I’m getting ready to go for a walk.” Xuanyuan Moze said as he stepped outside.
“Senior Brother, please wait.” Yun Xuexin called out, picked up the fruit from the table, walked over to him, and handed it to him. “Big Brother, it’s so early that you must not have eaten, right? I only have one bowl of porridge, so I’m not going to give it to you. Instead, eat this fruit!”
When Xuan Yuan Mo Ze looked ahead, however, a red figure appeared in his line of sight…
